THE UNHAPPY CZAR.
A Pet and Ink Sketch of Alexamdsb
of Russia.
The feeling which comes uppermost
in the mind of any one who sees the
Czar for the first time is one of sinoero
pity. He is a large, ox-eyed man, evi
dently of good intentions, but with a
look of sadness and nerplexity in him.
His voice is os harsh as the grinding of
a coffee-mill out of order, foran affection
of the throat, under which he has long
suffered, renders speech painful to him.
He would have made a very amiable
private gentleman, and could have got
far more ease and amusement oat of
life if he had handed all the bothera
tion of government over to his brother
Constantine, who has a taste for that
Bort of nonsense. He himself conld
hardly have wanted to reign. It was
the Scbouvaloffp, the Lamberts, the Ba
riatinsky*, the Alderbergs, and the Dal-
gonronkys, and some others who desir
ed him to be a firm rnlsr of men. They
were forever goadiDg and coaxing him
by turn, as beef is driven to market by
these who wish to roast it. They must
often have bad a difficult task, for lii«
ponderous Majesty, (good easy man) is
elothfnl and heavy-witted by nature.—
He must have frequently been unable
to understand even what was wanted of
him. He is subject to melancholy pe
riods of hypoehondriaiiis, during which
^experience seems to be a dreary blank
to him. Hein haunted by fears of sud- ;
den death and the dread of assassina
tion.' At these times he moons about
on apparently solitary walks with a
■large dog, but there is always a police
man handy to keep the sacriligeons
from approaching him. When well he
devotes much of his time to tailoring,
changing bis costume with much' stolid
perseverance, and he’likes to, be attend
ed by a hump-backed Privy Councillor,
who aete as a foil to his fine figure and
sets it off, for he is ; a well-built msu,
tall and straight, though rather too
German in the rotundity of certain of
hie curves.
> His father Nicholas, who was in many
respects a notable sovereign, had him
very cat-daily brought up, .and foresee
ing that he would want support, perhaj e
devotion, in,eIter life, to counteract hiB
apathy, surrounded him with some se-
• lect young men who coulu be relied up
on. This little band of cronies have
bung together ever since. They have
lived with and on the Emperor, without
interruption from the time of his acces
sion until now. He provides for their
Wants; they dip their fingers in his
purse whenever they are so minded.
He is a loosely hung emperor, more
li.ke the good fellow, of a free and easy
than the despotic master of millions,
when in the midst of these hi3 famil
iars. He has been known to sit in his
shirt sleeves, astraddle on a chair, hob-
•-nobbing with them.
The late Count Strogonoff, who was
ftreux chevalier and a yery high pacing
person generally, once broke in upon
tbe party thus employed. The Emper
or looked at him with those unntterbly
mournful eyes of bis and held out a
champagne glass to be refilled from a
bottle which stood by. The old soldier
drew himself-np and answered sternly;
• Let those who love yon less than I do
perform that service. ’ The Czar showed
no sign of displeasure, bat within a few
months Strogonoff was deprived of his
• offices, though he was nearly connected
with the imperial family, his sen having
married the Grand Duchess Marie.
When His majesty is in the humor he
plays a good deal at cards with his
own ohnms, and it is rather a good thing
for these gentlemen, for whenever any
one of them is wanted the Czar will lose
to him that sum of which he Stands in
need, as a delicate way of giving it,- and
this method of bestowing substantial fa
vor is perfectly well understood among
' them.
The Czar is a good shot, and has done
soma grand things on. bears. He some
times wears a pelisser which once cover
ed a fine bear he brought low with his
own hands, and it has been ‘so exqui
sitely dressed that it was valued at about
£2,000, which is even more than is ever
paid either for the sable or the blues
fox. He can ride, too, though not in
.English fashioa, and he would be puz
zled by a sharp burst across the coun
try. Lately his physicians have recom
mended him to walk. _ -
His personal deportment is excellent.
He stands and marches well. He shows
to advantage .in uniform, though for
several years he has willingly clothed
himself in mufti. His manners are
those of a gentleman, and there is some-
king extremely sympathetic about him.

temperament, was averse from moving
abont; latterly he has been troubled by a
perpetual restleness. He lives very
plainly end his fable is sparsely served.
A beefstake for breakfast, a roast geli-
notto and solid for his dinner form the
staple of his fare. His appetite is not
robust and he sleeps badly.
The first fault of his reign was the
common blander of heirs apparent
when they come into power. He had
been much courted by the discontent
ed, and he made far too much .haste to
nndo all the work of his father. He
was emotional, pitiful, generous, all in
a headlong, precipita! way. When he re
solved suddenly to abolish serfdom,
several of his Generals and nobles threw
themselves bodily at his feet and be
sought him to manage so great a change
very gingerly. It was of no nse; he
gave eveiything he had to give, knock
ed down the great farmers-general of
ot taxes like so many nine-pins, upset
monopolies for the discreet sale of vodki,
closed tho free port of the Black Sea ac
cording to the latest principles of politi
cal economy, dashed off tbe shackles from
the press, and laughed at comic news
papers. There was a caricature pub
lished in St. Petersburg, shortly after
bis afccessidn, which represented him an
a drosefiky driver, in the state that
droschky drivers are usually after din

men’s lives is bounded by dry goods es
tablishments, and the dictionaries of
their language contained in the bazars
of fashion. We have jast tossed aside
a recent number of one of the most in
fluential journals of Ihe East, twelve
pages of which are filled with what pur
ports to be a record of “American so
ciety, past and present.” Long lists of
names are given of women in New York,
Philadelphia, Washington, Cincinnati,
Louisville, who'are to be handed down
to posterity as famous—for'what? Fcr
their helpfulness to the age in which
they lived? For patriotic endeavor?
For earnest work for the future? For
unselfish hospitality? For having de
veloped and consecrated to friends
their best gifts of song or conversation?
No! but for the quality of the dry goods
they wore.
We have actually, sacrificed an hour
in looking through these twelve pages
to see if we could discover the name of
a single woman poet, actor or philan
thropist singled out as worthy of men
tion for such fact, but we failed to find
one. Even Mrs. Aubrey EL Smith, one
of the true nobility. is placed pn,record
as a lady “jvho jvpre an imported dress,
a dress of gurnet nud .oldrgold satin;
with acconit'train- of black damassej
‘tefnrtried ; with'rich thread lace.” ••
In’ievery. city‘ the homes which be
come. true literary cen'ti-es, the rare pla
ce.^ wharagenuine m;'.pliaod.aaid woman
hood are ,-recognized despite the awlt
ward setting of plainclothes, are passed
by in contempt in ihbkihg up a social
record to'sbow tlie progress of tlie last
century! ' ,
Twelve pages, and pot a ; hint that
that one of these ladies gave utterance
to a brilliant thought, a suggestive re
partee, but that like a procession of
wax.fignres they passed before;. an ad
miring world habited as fellows';
Mrs—— appeared in many elegant
robes. ! Her evening, toilets were as fol-
lows, etc., etc.
In the name of American womanhood,
we protect, and for the sake of Ameri
can girlhood, we beg the editors of our
representative journals to put a premi
am upon something in the world besides
dry goods.
Not much a compliment to a beauty
when the “soul-full eyes” are even sur
passed by “a faultlessly artistic toilet of
black satin, embroidered in rosebuds
aud pansies and sprays of filmy green
and a white opera hat, whose tints of,
color matched the flowers, and evening
gloves completed a toilet whosb beauty
attracted one like a rare picture.
So long as •women are content to be
judged only by the amount of expensive
dry goods they wear, so long will they
receive snob criticisms as the following,
which appeared in a recent popular
book: “Fdr is it not, let me ask ynu ;
to take for instance, a man’s sublime
faculty oi reasoning and comprehension
far more wonderful that a v reasoning
man should have the same parents as a
woman, than that they should both have
the sapae parents as a monkey?” And
just so long as our women make no pro
test against being thus described and
valued as so much lace, or so many
yardo of velvet, will thinking men dare
to address them in the following strain.
I quote from a recent publication; “In
a girl, however pretty, what is there to
interest a man, if ha reads nothing in
her face from night to night but that she
is getting daily more worn and jaded in
her search for a rich husband? Or even,
to go a step higher, in the nv thinking,
uncultivated flirt, so common in every
class of society—-what is there in her
that a man will not soot discover to be
insipid and wearying? But give her
one genuine, one disinterested taste,and
all is changed. If I ha8 an audience

TACTS ABOUT BUND TOM-
Blind Tom’s birthplace is Georgia,
and he began to excite attention as a
musician at the agmof four years. All
sounds aforded him delight; even the
crying of a child caused him to dance
about in a state of ecsiacy. When at
home he often bit and pinched his
brothers and sisters to make them, emit
cries of pain. If kept away from a pi
ano, ha. -would beat against tbe wall,
drag chairs about-the-room; and make
all sorts of noises. When in London a
flute was> produced for him of a very
complicated, pattern and having twenty-
two keys. He frequennl; rises up.at
night and plays . this instrument, imita-
ting upon it all sorts of sounds which
he may hear at the time.

horrible discord imaginable. Suddenly
a change comes over him and he indul

an idiot, and he played nenrly as well'
at the age of seven as he does now, but
now his repertoire is much larger, as he
can play anything that he has ever

We avail ourselves of the courtesies
of the religions and secular press to
state a.few facts 1 which we ^consider
proper and needful to the cause of Mis
sions. Since last May we have had no
agents among yon to collect funds—by
this retrenchment we have made a large
saving. We have depended solely upon
the pastors, and tve are gratified at the
promptness with which a great many of
them have responded. We have urged
the importance-of securing small con
tributions from the many, and that col
lections be taken fegularly^jand fre*
qnently. The number of contributors
has been largely.. increased and the
amou ntjreceived is in excess of what it
was at this date last year-being in the
aggregate about thirteen thousand dol
lars. For all this we feel grateful
God and to the brethren, and are en
couraged to expect results still more fa
vorable.

sions among the brethren has been
strengthened. SWe.^believe l?they will

The Thomasvilln Times tells the fol

A yonng man who was hired Texas-
ward from Georgia two years ago, re
turned to his native village the other

in the suburbs until after nightfall,
having in the" meantime sent word to
the old man to send him some cf his
old clothes to the place of his conceal
ment, adding; “You need not send a
hat or a pair of socks. I am partially
supplied with these articles, but they
ate about all.

THE ISOM FERTILIZER DISTRIBUTOR*
PATENTED JANUARY 8th, 1878.
We herewith present to the farmers and agriculturists generally a cut of tho
BOON FERTILIZER DISTRIBUTOR.
which baa been ns6d by a number o! skilled and practical agriculturists, some of
whom have voluntarily given me their certificates, aud the many orders now on
hand are from those who have us*>d and seen it used. , ;j
It is a light, simple hand mitcbiue, dispensing with horse power. It is eepi'y
adjusted, can be used by a boy fifteen years old as well as a grown hand. There
is no waste around stumps by wind, or at the end of rows.
The clothes of the operator are not soiled by its Use. It drills wheat, pea?,
cane, rice, turnip seed and other email seed.
The conditions to success in operating this machine are very few, and can be
easily understood upon a plight examination.
• As farther proof of its value, we refer to the following certificates from some
of the most skillful farmers in their community.
