in the place of Catacazy. The Baron is about
forty years of age, and Is regarded as one of
the ablest of Russian diplomatists. He IS
graduate of the Military Academy of st: Pc
tersburg, and his writing on military affairs
procured him place on the general stan OF
the Russian army, and some time after an ap-
pointment in the War Department, where he
remained during the Crimean war. He was
then for several years attached to the lmperi-
oI household as Adjutdnt of the Emperor,

ies Of the two eldest sons of the Gar In his
tbirty-sixth year he joined the Russian Lega-
ton of Constantinople, and remained thence
forth in the diplomatic service of Russia. The
success with which he performed number of
difficult missions procured him rapid promo
ton. He was successfully Secretary of Lega-
ton in Vienna, Diplomatic Agent in Paris
and Berlin, and finally Consul General at
Bucharest and political agent of Russia in the

curious papers, letters and otherwise, which
the late inhabitants of the Tuileries left be-

his wife in her haste to escape from the
clutches of the mob Many and curious are
the revelations they make: and not the least
extraordinary is the confirmation of the story,
which was hushed up some five and forty
years ago, that Napoleon the great added to

A FILTER FOR CIsTERNs.-G
the water from a roof has but little solid
matter in suspension, but has acquired a
dark color and strong taste from the
smoked-stained roof, which if of shingles
will give i'll addition a woody favor. No
tiltering material but fresh charcoal will
perfectly remove this color and taste.
The water therefore must be made TO
pass through quantity of it. This is
best done by af1xing at the side of the
cistern box of hemlock, oak, or chestnut
planks. or Of bricks, in which the pipe
discharges through 7 at the bottom into
a layer of coarse gravel. Above the
gravel is layer Of coarse.powdered char
coal, and above that another layer of
gravel which holds the charcoal in its
place. Above the upper layer of gravel
a piece of slate, perforated with a nun.
Der OF holes, nay be placed, which will
keep these strata in their proper position
The discharge-pipe is curved upward,
which prevents the current from washing
any sand or gravel into the cistern. This
filter can be taken up at any time and be
cIeanscd and replaced.
