A Russian Dukes EmpIoyments.

The Grand Duke vladimir, of Russia,
second son of the Emperor Alexander,
is twenty-seven years of age, and very
handsome. Like all the imperial
princes, he has been carefully trained,
and has completed his education by
foreign travel. During his first tour in
Europe he visited all the principal gal
leries, and ON his return resolved to
give up considerable portion of his
time to the cultivation of the fine arts,
of which he has become distinguished
patron. He is now vice president of
the Imperial Academy, and is in reality
the head of that body In common
with all the princes Of the imperial
family, he occupies prominent posi-
ton in the military service, but he is
the only one who takes any part in civil
affairs. Seeing that his inclination lay
that way, the Gar made him a member
of the Senate, and he regularly attends
the sittings of that body. so
