The Emperor and the Actor.

The following anecdote is new, and ex-
hlbits the late Emperor of Russia in a
new character, as well as records one of
the most happy escapes from an awkward
position that wit and presence of mind
might afford. Some years ago there was
very celebrated comic actor at st. Pc
tersburg named Martinoff. He had most
extraordinary pow of imitation, and
was so great favorite with the public as
sometimes to venture interpretations of his
own, instead of following the advice of
Hamlet to the players, to "speak no more
than is set down to them" The empe-
ror at the same time had high cham
berlain, or parsonage filling similar Of
fee, named Poloffsky. Whether for fun
or malice, Martinof, while performing,
contrived to let fly some puns against this
great man, which were warmly received
by the audience. The consequence was,
as soon as the play was over, the actor
found himself in the custody of guard
of soldiers, who took him to prison, where
he was told he was to be confined for a
fortnight Not contented with this, Po-
loffsky either told the emperor himself,
or contriyed that it should come to his
ears, that the player had actually had
the presumption to indul ge in limitations
of His Imperial Majesty.
On his liberation, Martinoff went to
court to pay his respects as usual, and
the emperor told him of this accusation,
which he denied "Well," said the en-
peror, "if you never did SO, let me have
an intimation ofmyself nos0. We know
you can do so if you choose" This was
an awkward and dangerous position for
the poor actor, who felt he should get in
to trouble for either falling short of or O.
verdoing the character. Still the auto
crat was determined there was no escape.
Suddenly q bright thought struck the
player and drawing himself up, he as
sumed the exact bearing and manner of
the emperor, and in voice so like that
it made every one present start, said
"Polofsky, give Martinoff. (himself) a
thousand silver roubles." 'Stop," said
the emperor, 81 have heard quite enough.
The imitation is admirable, but the enter
tainment promises to be too expensive
Give him the roubles, Polofsky; and now
mind, sir, let this be the last time you ev-
er dare to mimic me here or elsewhere" II
is, of course, unnecessary to say Martinoh
was too glad to pocket the money and es-
cape so we'll.

Now and Then.

The Nea0 York 1tlas is journal griev-
ously addicted to awkward "reminiscences.
One of its latest has the following:
On the 18th of November last-more
than a week after Mr.. Lincoln's re-elec-
ton, and when there was no excuse for
such an outbreak-the Tammany Hall
Committee held meeting over which
VIM. NJ. Tweed presided, and, on motion
of George Fl. Purser,
ReSo'ced, That we condemn and denounce
the administration Of Abraham Lincoln
as imbecile, extravagant and corrupt, and
believe that Il persistence in its injudicious
and partisan conduct of the war, and its
notorious fai.hlessness to the letter and
spirit of the Constitution and laws, will
contribute to ombitter and prolong the
existing struggle, increase the sacrifice of
human life, and the ruinous burden Of
the public debt, justly invoke suspicion
in the North, and repel rather than in
vitc returning loyalty on the part of the
rebellious States of the South"
On the 18th day of April, lS65-not
quite FIVE months afterward-that same
Democratic General Committee held an
other meeting, and this time,
"Resolved, That believing Abraham
Lincoln, as ruler, to hare been goUerned
by patriotic motives, honesty of purpose,
and an elevated appreciation of the grave
and responsible duties imposed upon him
in the greatest crisis of our country's his
tory-commanding in so great degree
the confidence of the loyal people of the
nation-and exhibiting in the recent
events which had terminated in the down
fall of the rebellion, wise forebearing
and magnanimous craftsmanship, the ex-
ercies of which gave such hopeful Pro-
mise of a speedy and perfect restoration
of the national Union in the spirit and
on the principles upon which it was
founded, we regard his sad end and un-
timely decease great misfortune to the
whole country"
There's progress If neither of those
resolves means much, it is certain that the
latter, SO far as it means anything, is far
the truer. Whoever shall hereafter read
that the Democratic General Commit.
tee gravely resolves thus or SO should
wait FIVE months or so to ascertain how
much of it is earnest and how much

Secesh Ghosts Foreshadowed.

When General Sherman s army occupi-
ed Savannah, the citizens pleaded starya-
tion and asked to be fed Amongst 9TH
er applications, several ladies called upon
the Provost Marshal of the Western Dis
trlct and unfolded a horrible story of suf-
tering and woe. The gallant General
B., impressed with the tale, seated
himself to write the order for supplies
While so engaged some remark was made
about the termination of war Where
upon one of the suffering applicants O.
pened upon the General as follows:
"This war won't be terminated until
you kill all the men, and then, we wo.
men will fight you, and if you kill all of
us it won't be ended then, for we'll come
back as ghosts to haunt you" This san
culinary oration, delivered with all the
venom of southern beggar, quite ap-
palled the General, who quietly tore up
the order he was writing, saying:
'If such be the case, think you might
IS we'll die of starvation, as then your
ghosts may be too weak to come back and
haunt u.s." And he coolly but politely
bowed the lady mendicants into the
street.
