A dreary period Of disagreement and civil
war now ensued varied by attacks of different
barbarous tribes from the East. This state OF
things continued till lll3, when the people of
KieiT, sick and tired of the endless ieuds and
troubles. begged Vladimir, the ablest of all the
grandsons of Yaraslaif to take the throne of
Kieff After a time the proposal was accepted
and during the short, but brilliant, period
which followed, Kieir experienced some of the
most prosperous days Of her carly history.
Vladimir was the son of Nseylod, the iayorite
son Of Yaraslailand the Greek princess, daugh-
ter of Constantine Monomach, and was sur
named Monomach, after his grandfather on
his mothers side Vladimir Monomach was one
of the three great princes ancient Russia, the
other two being the first, or Saint Vladimir, and
Yaroslaif These three men laid the iounda'
tions of the Russian State. To them are due
the dissemination Of Christianity and the in
PRODUCTION of laws, literature and learning, 81
far as was possible in that rude and barbarouo'
age.
Upon the death of Vladimir, which tool

third alarm. calling wi the whole fire

flames had made astonishing headyay
ia the low wooden rookeries lining
Clark street and Third and Fourth
avenues, and before the news of the
confasration reached the business
centres, it became arparen. that a
large and populous qrsrter of the city
must inevitably be wrapt in flames.
The wind vas from the southwest, and.
under the stimulus of the heated at
mosphere, il soon blew a hurricane.
In an hour many acres had been burned
over, and the streets. filed with every
manner Of vehicle losied win fu'ni-

fleeing from the hot breath of the fire.
