RaIIwaKa In Russia.

The st. Petersburg correspondent OF the
Boston Herald writes as follows The
railway and custom officials in Russia viii
nut 10 shame those Of any country We have
] vet visited. Our route; Of near 1000 miles,
through this so-called savage country, up
u tue time Of writing has been one contin-
ued scene OF polite refinement and attention
70 our wants. The railway cars are simply
travelling palaces-there is nothing like them
in the world. TIE track is laid ia surpass-
ingly substantial manner. The Emperor in
his special train, does not travel with more
comfort than ourselves. Our saloon, in one
case, was ten feet square; with couches,
tables, private cabinets, etc. If you wish
70 60 70 bed you can 20 up stairs Oh the
second door only are the chambers. In the
morning you make up your toilet as at home.
The stations are splsndidy fitted up, the Ia
bles loaded with all kinds of eatables and
drinkables; the stops are frequent; the
speed not over twenty-five miles per hour,
so that you are not whirled through these
vast spaces and endless praires witha light
ming speed, but have not only time TO sec
the country, but to stretch your legs from
time to time on the platforms. In, fact you
you become enamored Of the way tney 90
things in Russia"

splendors of morning the billow-crssts brighten,
lighting and luripg them on to the land
Parkway waves where the wan vessels whiten,
Blue rollers breaking In surf where Ne stand.
Curved like the necks of legion Of horses
Each with his roth-gildsd mans flowing tree.
Hitler they speed In perpetual courses
Bearing tiny riches, 0 beautiful seal
strong with the striving Of yesterdays surges.
Lashed by the wanton winds leagues from the
shore,
Zach driven fast by its followers urges
HOW they leap over the ridges we walk on,

Silyery fish for the foam m-haunting falcon,
Falm-weed and pearls Tor my darling and mel
Light falls her loot where the rift follows alter
Finer her hair than your feathery spray,
Sweeter her voice than your infinite laughter
Hist! ye wild couriers, list to my layi
Deep in the chambers OF grottoes auroral
Morn lavss her jewels and bends her red knee;
Thence to my dear one your amber and coral
Bring for her dowry, o beautiful sea.
