KaUD IvERsoS.-P. t. Barnum, the "Na.
poleon of Showmen," says the Chicago Dem
ocrat, has presented 5000 to the fund for the
erection OF a monument to Knud Iverson the
noble Norwegian youth, who preferred death
rather than to steal. Mr. B., although sus-
pected of dealing occasionally somewhat
largely in hurnbug has shown that he carries
some genuine stuff under his left jacket pock-
ct. Mr.. B. accompanied the donation with
a letter full of generous sentiments, from
which we cut paragraph:
81 trust that every citizen of our common
country may have the privilege of contribu.
ting towards the monument of the immortal
child KNUD IVERSON, and that this en-
during memorial of his honesty, erected by
those who appreciate this great cardinal vir-
tue, may for ages be the mecca" to which
pilgrims from every quarter of this great con.
tnent will gladly flock with their little ones:
who may thus be early impressed with the
important and glorious truths SO feeliugly
taught in the cruel death of this inCantile
martyr, that "Ir Is BETTER To DIE THAN 10
STEAL"

About noon we came to Rosenlane. As
we drew near the hotel, the guide struck off
a path leading up the mountain, saying, by
way Of xplanation--"Me Glacier"
Now, confess, that it was rather too near
dinner time, and | was rather too tired, at
once to appreciate this movement.
lregret to say that two glaciers, however
beautiful, on an empty stomach appear rather
of doubtful utility. So demonstrated; but
the guide, as all guides do, went dead ahead,
as if hadn't said word. c., however,

ious rrvine. as if an earthquake had rent a
mountain asunder. A hundred feet down in
this black gorge stream was roaring in a
succession of mad leaps, and bridge crossed
it, where we stood to gaze down into its dark,
awful depths. Then on we went, till we
came to the glacier. What a mass of clear,
blue ice! SO very blue, SO clear! This awful
chasm runs directly under it, and the noun
tain torrent, formed by the melting of every
glazier, falls in a roaring cascade into it.
You can go down into cavern in this rift,
Above your head a roof of blue, clear ice;
below your feet this black chasm, with the
white, flashing foam of the cascade, as it
leaps away intosthe darkness. On one side
of the glacier was a little sort of cell, or
arched nook, up which an old man had cut
steps, and he helped me up into it. stood
in little Gothic shrine of blue, glittering
ice, and looked out OF an arched window at
the cascade and mountains. l thought of

From the Atheneum
TIE PASSAGE OF THE pRUTH.

| AT the present conjrncture the following
Proclamation of Peter the Great, by which
. he raised Catharine to the throne of Russia
will probably be interesting to our readers;
and the note thereto furnishes striking les
son Of what may happen to those who, with
more ambition than prudence, cross the ia.
tai Prutk. We have extracted them from q
volume of Tracts published in London in 1929
aud translated from the originals in the Scla'
vonian and Russian languages by Thomas
Consett, Chaplain to the British Factory in
Russia. These two volumes of Tracts con-
tain many other instructing and amusing sub
jects.
"We, Peter the First, Emperor and Sow
eregn of all Russia, &c. &c. &c. Sc, mani
fest to the people of the spiritual, military,
civil, and of all other ranks, our faithful sub
iects of the whole Russian nation. Whereas
it is known to all that in all Christian king
doms it is the constant custom OF potentates
to crown their wives, and not only in these
times but ancienty the most famous Grecian
Emperors frequently did this! namely, the
Emperor Basilius crowned his wife Zenobia ;
the Emperor Justhian, Lupitsia; the Empe-
ror Heraclius, Martina; the Emperor Leo,
his wife Muria; these all crowned their wives
with the Imperial' diadem. And others did
the same, which we think It needless on this
occasion to instance more at large. And
whereas it is wei! known, during war OF
twenty years, that we underwent the
most hazardous toll, and even exposed our
person to the perils of death itself for our
country's good; that by Gods assistance we
have put an end to the war, that Russia never
before had seen so honorable and advantage
Gus peace, and in all their affairs never had
SO great glory. In which our tolls above
written, our beloved consort, the Sovereign
Catharine, was great aid and support, and
not only herein, but in several military eS-
peditiuns, without regard to the imbecility
and tenderness Of her sex, resolutely OF her
own accord was present with us, and gave
us all possible assistance, especially in the
battle with the Turks at the Prude~ (where
our army was only $4,000 and the Turks $40 =
OOC,) in that critical juncture she behaved
herself not like woman but man, whereo.
our whole army will witness and can testify
to our whole empire. Wherefore, by virtue
of the power we have from God to honor Cur
Consort, for these her labors, with coroiio-
tiou and crown, whichi God willing, we pur-
nose to effect at Moscow this present winter.
This our intention we notify to all our faith
full subjects, to favor whom we of our imperial
grace are immutably inclined.
