with glass doors, containing a small library. They
are, in every respect, entitled to praise for their

There is no nation (['will not even except my owe )
;more cleanly in their apparel than the Cossacks.
.The dress of their women is singular—it darts frogs
all the costumes of Russia; and its magnificence is
vested in the ornaments of a cap, somewhat resem-
bling the mitre of a. Greek Bishop. The hair of
married .women is tucked under this cap, 'Which is

where we lodged. This woman walked about the
apartments without shoes and shockings; and being
asked for some needles to secure the insects we bad
i collected, opened a box, in which she showed es
1 pearls to the amount of ten thousand rmilthts. Her
cupboard, at the same time, was titled with plate and
costly porcelain.. The common dress of the men in
Tscherchaskoy was a blue jacket,
.with .a waistcoat
and trowsers of. white dimity,. the latter, so white
and spotless, that they seemed always new. The

Perhaps an anecdote -which I shall now relate,
may render the preceding contrast bet weell the Cos-
sacks and Russians more striking : the truth of it,
on account of its notoriety. will not be disputed by
either party. Whenever a quarrel among the Cos.
sacks causes them to combat each other, they Eight,

daggers, or any sharp instrument. This practice is
so established a characteristic of their people, that It
gave rise to a very remarkable wager. Teplof and
Gelagin, two of. the late Empress Cathariee's Vrjvy
Councillors, happened to be in her presence, when':
it was told her that a Cossack Priest, then a Monk
lb the Convent of St. Alesander Newski, had been
arrested for cutting the throat of a young %vegan,
whom he had made pregnant, and with whom he had
quarrelled ; upon which 'reploloffered to wager with •
