The Russian Romance.

OF all the romantic stories in the Ara
bian Nights, there is none more extraor-
dinary than the little episode that has
just occurred at St Petersburg. You
will have noticed that an attempt was
made to shoot the Emperor, which was
frustrated by the prompt action OF a
young man who stood near the would-be
assassin That young man, acting from
momentary impulse in striking down
the arm he saw raised against his sover-
eign, was afterwards so frightened at his
own rashness that he ran away as fast as
his legs could carry him. He was pur-
sued and brought back to the presence OF
the Emperor, at whose feet he threw
himself in state of terror, as If he had
been the assassin himself The Emperor
raised him, embraced and kissed him,
and proclaimed him Russian noble
from that hour. The romance Of the
story is this: The new Russian noble,
only FIVE minutes before, was poor
iliterate drudge in small hatters shop
in st. Petersburg. A week ago his habits
and daily occupation were Of the most
vulgar and menial character. To-day he
ranks with the most ancient nobility OF
the empire A subscription was at once
set on foot to provide him with means to
sustain his new dignity, and presents are
flowing in upon him from every direction.
His photograph is displayed in every
shop window, prayers are said for him in
all the churches, and retinue of the
Czar's own servants are in constant at
tendance upon him. And this great
change has come upon him simply be-
cause, doubtless, he impulsively seized
an arm he saw holding pistol, and thus
diverted the shot from its intended des-
tinaton. There is something so melo-
dramatic about the whole affair that one
is disposed to question whether il may
have been carefully devised spectacle,
the object being to gain favor on the part
of the Emperor from the lower orders, to
whose ranks the Emperors savior te-
longs

was delivered in Music Hall, Boston, Tuesday
evening of last week, by Senator Sumner. His
subject was - The One Man Power vs..

and exhaustive discussion of the work of recon

by Congress, and Was a complete and ample

Legislative. 1t is the One Man P0s0er vs
