The Late Czar Nicholas.
A correspondent of the Providence Journal,
who was present at the military review at
Paris, on the 10th of May, 1852, which was at
tended by the Emperors Of Russia, Austria and
France, thus describes the appearance Of Mich.
olas:
"Nicholas was then ffty.six years old. The
Austrian uniform, which he wore, displayed to
the best advantage hiss;ately and commanding
form. He was very large, but finely propor-
toned. He was muscular, but not cOrpulent.
The lower part Of his face was closely shaven.
The whiskers extended down to a line with
the upper lip, and joined the moustache. lie
combined the strength and activity Of middle
age with the dignity aud majesty Of advancing
years. He seemed . Jupiter rather than q man.
He saluted the people continually and heartily.
Every hat was raised high in the air, and
shouts rose loud and long from the thousands
on the Giacis and the city walls, Long live the
Emperor Of Russia He realized in his person
ones conception Of imperial greatness. One
could not look upon him without feeling that
he was made to rule.
"EIis immense stature has often been spoken
Of by letter writers. / CHANGED to learn in a
%curions manner how much he weighed. ! had
. letter to the manager of the imperial stables
at Vienna, and / called on him . few days be.
fore the arrival Of Nicholas. He politely show.
ed me through the stables. and pointed out to
me the horses which the Russian Emperor was
to ride. He said that he had been training
them for some time by obliging them to car
~ bags Of sand Of two hundred and sixty
pounds weight for several hours q day. He
had received commands to do so, 40 that was
the weight Of the Emperor. They were fearful
lest the spirited horses should prove UNCOVER
nable if they were not trained to bear burden
80 unusual.
"On leaving Vienna, Nicholas gave eighteen
thousand dollars in presents to the servants
by whom be was attended during his stay.
Some years previous, when he came to Vienna,
an elegant royal carriage was placed at his
service. But he declined it. He hired Q cab,
and in comparative secrecy visited all the places
Of interest. He r~ecompensed the cabman so
literally that he Immediately retired from bu-
siness with = fortune. Those who are familiar
with the life Of the Emperor. relate many in.
cidents Of . similar nature"
