Most American travellers in Europe are ia
miliar with the name of the Russian Cresus
Anatole Demidoh, sometimes called Prince
Denidof, the proprietor of the magnificent
villa of st Denote, at the gates of Florence,
and the diverted husband of the celebrated
Princes Mathilde Bonaparte. Some fifteen
years ago Demidotf bought Mathilde from her
father Serome at time when the Bonapartes
where cheap, paying some 100000 of the
paternal debts by way.of qaid pro quo. Hav-
ing accepted or rather bought an Italian title
of Prince on occasions of this marriage, DEM
idotf fell into disgrace with the Emperor Mich.
olas. We now learn from the Augsbarg Gas
cite that Demidoff is attached to the Russian
legation at Vienna, and that he has put his
colossal fortune (about 5000, 900 year, at the
disposition of the Gar. He keeps at his own
cost agents in England France and Turkey
to look after the Russian prisoners and wound
cd and to take care Of their wants. We have
heard of other Russians bearing names highly
respected and celebrated in their own country.
and possessing large fortunes, who hastened
directly from Paris to the United States in or

that it seems all the "children" OF the Gear

The CzAR.-Nicholas the present Emperor
Of Russia, was born in the year 1896. He is,
therefore, in the 5Sth year of his age. He is
the third son of the Emperor Paul, whose
tragical death by strangulation is a matter of
history. In the early period of his life, the
prospect OF his ascending the throne was very
remote-indeed, highly improbable Alex
nnder, his eldest brother, occupied the sover-
eighty, and Constantine was the next in the
natural order of succession. As in the case
Of most of the younger branches of sovereign
houses in Europe, a considerable portion of
the earlier portion of Nicholas life was spent
in travelling from Court to Court, varied by
attention to the duties of a military command,
in which he distinguished himself by the i'm
provements he effected in the efficiency of the
Russian Army. In 1882, Alexander died,
not without suspicious circumstances attend
ant upon his death, which were probably
strengthened by the somwhat anomalous fact
that the succession devolved, not upon Con-
stantine, but Nicholas The will of the de-
ceased Emperor was brought forward in vim
dication of the laws of legitimacy and then,
to the establishment of all Europe, a further
Justification Of the act was found in the an
nouncement that it was done with the consent
of Constantine. The conduct of Constantine
was III harmony with this declaration, for he
himself was first to offer allegiance to his
younger brother 1t was not without diff
Guilty that Nicholas obtained possession OF SUI
preme power A formidable and widely ex-
tended insurrection was set on foot, which
the stern determination of Nicholas speedily
put down. He became the Gar, and held
the reins OF power with an iron grasp, which
still retains in subsection the semi barbarous
tribes and varied races which constitute the
population of the Russian Empire.
The SULTAN OF TURKEY.--We next natur-
ally glance at the life of Abdul Medjid, the
Sultan of Turkey. He was born in Constan-
tinople, on the 9th of April, 1925, and ascend
ed tho throne at the age of l6. At that time
he was mild and gentle youth, and inherit
ed the reforming tendencies of his father. aud
the softness of his Christian mother He is
tall and slender, with black eyebrows, pale
face, thick lips, and is somewhat marked with
small poX. AT first, his career was timid and
irresolute, but of late years he has manifested
considerable energy. His troops are now off,
cered by Poles, Hungarians, and Italians. and
have thus far exhibited much courage Grea.
changes have taken place in Turkey DUNG
his Administration, and the recent aggressions
Of Russia have not only aroused the spirit of
the nation, but have stimulated the Sultan to
apolicy at once chivalric and manly. His reign
promises to prove the most important in the
modern history of the country.

SHIRTs.-Ihey do things queerly in the
shirt line in France. 4 friend of ours-one
whose notes by the way have occasionally
graced our columns-Nher. .Hs> Paris a few
months since ordered some shirts one of which
when done he "tried on" The fair shop-mis-
tress inspected the fit very closely, and our
friend generally was pleased with the gar.
ment, save and excepting in its undue length
of skirt. She could not speak English. he
but little French, and to convey the idea of
the necessary cur tail ment, he turned up the
front to the requisite length. She stuck a.
pin there, and the understanding seemed to
be perfect. The next day the shirts came to
ours friends Hotel with the front half six inch
es shorter than the rear half.
Speaking Of shirts, reminds US of veritabie
shirt incident which occurred to another Cleve-
lander few years since. In the exactions
which our repentant bachelors have from time
to time made up the East for help mates, no
locality has received more urgent demands
than Utica; and we may be permitted to saw.
no place has more generously responded to
these loud calls. Our friend was one of those
whose heart was "pent-up' in Utica, and
who resorted thither to effect its release by
taking captive its possessor. In anticipation
OF the happy event, Of course the wardrobe
was beautifully replenished, and among the
various articles OF ornament and necessity
were two dozen new linen shirts These
were packed just as they came from the hands
Of the laundress, not to be unfolded until the
happy groom should dress for the ceremony,
The hour came, and our friend, duly roomed
at "Baggs Tavern" was washing, coming,
and brushing for the ordeal. The pile of lin
EN- shirts was invaded, and our nervous friend
stationed before Psyche glass, tried one on.
The collar was admirable in cut and polish
the bosom perfect in lit and purity the wrist
bands rounded to turn but To- and behold,
the shirt was at least twelve inches shorter
before than behind. The curtailed garment
suddenly went over head, and another was
unfoided. This was a counterpart of the first.
The groom wondered and " still the wonder
grew" as shirt after shirt revealed the same
mysterious "goneness." The pile was ex-
hausted, the bottom of the trunk reached and
our friend without clean whole shirt to his
back, stood in his stocking feet a seeker of
happiness under difficulties. A desperate
pull at the bell brought servant, and the
servant brought ready made, slop shop shirt,
and no further lawful impedIments prevent.
ed the nuptials; although celebrated at an
hour somewhat later than the '.card time"
1t turned out that the maker of the shirts,
either Chinese, or one who, printer like"
"follows copy even if it goes out of the win
dow"-had cut the two dozen after the pat
tern furnished. Our friend in furnishing
that pattern, happened to get hold of an un-
fortunate shirt which the ''pounding barrel
had deprived of one of its elongations and the
seamstress, supposing the style the peculiar
fancy of the wearer, followed the pattern -Er.
