RUSSIA.
The Emperor Alexander III.

Kissingen correspondent says "The
Emperor Alexander II, like his father
Nicholas, is an early riser. He is on the
promenade before six in the morning
generally alone, walks with a very slow,
heavy step, and frequently sits down on
one of the stone benches, calls his mag
nifcent black dog, who lars his head on
the Emperor's knees, and Alexander
moodily gazes into vacancy. I watched
him the other day. He looked as if he
had not learned to smile, and when he
rose, | am sure he heaYed a sigh. He
generally wears a faded black suit. and
looks more like a gentleman in reduced
circumstances than like the autocrat of
all the Russias. No greater difference
can be imagined between two men than
that between Alexander and his father
Nicholas. There is some resemblance
between their features; but Nicholas,
even a few days previous to his death.
did not look near as broken down and
.desponding as his son, who is not weighed
down by a European war. The police
generally keeps the beggars off the prone
made but occasionally a poor woman
steals up to His Majesty, who then i'm
mediately puts his hand into his vest
and gives her a gold piece with
a sad smile, and almost respectful manner.
But he.neyer exchanges a word with any
one on the promenade

A WESTERN theatrical manager has a
knack of doing people out of their
salary. 4 young actor from New York,
who had joined his company, ventured,
after a two weeks engagement, to hint
that be would like his money. WHAT
exclaimed the indignant manager, "you
ask me for salaryI after the characters 1
have given you to play? The fact is,
my dear sir, the man who plays Claude
Melaote and other lovers ought not to
expect any salary "Yes," said the
l~ight-waisted youth, "but nay board is
due, and shall get turned out of my
boarding-house-and the truth is, 1 have
nothing to eat" keep cool, my boy"

colossal figure is that of an Archbishop
of Mayence, thatthe three smaller figures,
which scarcely reach above his head, are
those OF an Emperor and two Kings
whom he had crowned. Yet the story
is preserved and the name of Peter Won
Asfeldt, great as it may have been in the
days of his Archbishopric, is now even
much more widely known, handed down
as it is to posterity by every two-penny
guide book that is published in every
different European language, and through
the medium of the thousand itinerant
pleasure seekers who stOam annually up
and down the Rhine.
OF those who lived plor to the 14th
or indeed the 18th centdry there are few
monuments left upon which the inscrip-
tions can be deciphered or the figures
can be traced. Those of the Church
which are recognizable are principally
those Of the Archbishops of Msyence.
Besides these there is one of Fastrada,
third wife of Charlemague. Most of
these monuments and tablets are upright,
being imbedded in the wall. The stories
of the deeds of those mighty men of old
which were entrusted to the legends on
their tombstones have long since been
trampled out under the ungracious tread
of ungrateful and Indifferent posterity.
Even in the chapel in which Kings were
once crowned the worn t0~mbstones, be-
meath which only those who we're most
highly honored were buried, tell no more
story than does the stone armchair in
which the Archbishop sat; and in the
neighboring c~loister, or Rreuzgang as it
is called, which is literally feered with
tombstones, there is nothing low left but
the stone itself TO show how "some great
one lived his day" At one time. as at
Basic and elsewhere, the stones were
numbered and a record of the names was
kept; but even this was lost and with it
persisted the last trace of ali identity.
These smooth worn stones ~onlyserve now
to call to mind the sad words of Mother
we'll when he says so truly,
TEL me the one who ere could shan
Touch W tn Oh ivion's pail:
4 bear witt me AZ eqU4i do m
Tie dsrkne=s Of a nam-less tomb
There Is one monument IN this c~ioister
which has a history. 1t is that of Won
Nielsen, the minstrel, better known as
Frauenlob-' Lady praise" This tomb
stone is a charming commentary on fame.
The man who spoke sweet phrases still
! YES in the remembrance of a grateful
female public. Indeed the ladies Of
Mayence only twenty-five years ago
erected a more lasting monument to the
- Ladies Minstrel" Scores Of men who
had much more reason to have their
names ION fame's bright page enrolled,
buried almost beside him, have
been long since forgotten and the memory
their deeds has mouldered away with
their bones.

pected that several interesting and valuable
