Russia,s Position and Policy.

A narrow strip OF only two hundred
and twenty-five miles. divides Russian
ana English territory in Central Asia.
Steadily and constantly has Russia
worked down from the north, until al
most all of Central Asia not actually
covered by the fiag Of England has been
absorbed by her authorities. And while
thus operating in Asia the Czar is also
taking care of his interests in southern
Europe. Naturally fearful OF the grow
ing power Of Germany, under the lead or
such man as Bismarck, he Is attempt
Ing to draw Gordon around Constanti-
nople by obtaining power in servia, Bos-

Bismarck has not failed TO appfehend
this strategic feature of the case, and
has placed Austria in the proiected path
OF the Czar, and is ready to back Fran
els Joseph when the proper moment
comes Tor positive action. The German
tootnold in this section of Europe is in

A Scotch peddler, without the re-
motest intention on his part of getting
into a quarrel OF fight with any man, had
put up with his pack for the night at
country ale house bordering on Wales.
where, as the fates would have IL, he
found motly assemblage in the kitcnen
Of the inn of not the most desirable indi-
yiduals; and among the rest Welsh
man, whose aim, from the very first, 1t
seemed to be to get into hot water
with the poor Sawney. The latter,
sagaciously appreciating the true
character OF the tormentor, and
determined to get rld of him
in the quietest possible way, told him
that he "dId not want to tignt." This
only excited to still higher pitch the
bravado of the Welshman, and he told The
Scotchman that he would make him
tight" "Well," said Sawney, iii must
fight. let me say my prayers before
fgDt@ which the Welshman eonceding
the Scotchman lell upon his knees, i'm
ploring the Maker to pardon him for
"the NO men he had already killed, and
for the one that was about to die" The
Scotchman slowly rose from his knees,
but not before the Weishman had made
a precipitate retreat from the room.

Royalty in Russia---The Exquisite
Apartments of the Duchess o1
Edinburg,
[From the San Francisco Chronicle.l

From the San Francisco Chronicle.l
But we have yet to take a peep into
the private apartments of the Imperial
family, which, if not equal to the state
apartments, are nevertheless extremely
rich, and many OF them have their walls
covered with silken damask of various
colors. In the general sitting-room of
the Empress and her ladies, of whom
Judge from the number Of chairs and ta-
bles she has enough, Her Majesty's seat
is ON raised platform separated by a
railing from the rest of the room; the
walls are Of crimson damask, and there
are q number of beautiful pictures; but
the chief thing noticed here were tall
ship in colored glass, many representing
miniature scenes OF royal story.
The walls OF the sleeping-room of the
Duchess OF Edinburgh were, like the
drapery and furniture, OF pearl-colored
damask. From this room we passed into
her boudoir, with walls and furniture of
white silk wrought with bouquets OF
bright flowers; both rooms had, arched
ceilings, frescoed in delicate but cheer
iul colors. Beyond was the bathroom
belonging to this suit OF apartments,
and the most perfect jewel Of a room
ever saw. 1t was softly lighted by the
mosaic windows OF rlch c0lored glass.
Between the windows was a marble

heavy that / could not lift one end of1t.
On the opposite side Of the room was the
marble bath-tub, partly sunk In the floor
Behind the bath the wall was one wide,
high mirror; the ceiling overhead was
an arched dome, not, however, with
smooth carved surface, but hanging in
scalloped stalactites OF stucco-work.
These stalactites were of various deli
cate colors, their edges shining with q
slight line OF gliding. The side walls OF
| the room were covered to harmonize
with the ceiling overhead, and the thick, /,
soft carpet seemed to have been woven
! for the room. There was but little fur.
niture save the table, sofa and couple ol
chairs In small alcove. These were
painted white, and covered with pale
blue silk. I could not help wondering Il

The wife of George L. Amsdell, a
wealthy Albany brewer, obtained a d.
vorce from him in 1870. Sue was granted
$50, 900 alimony, of which $4,000 was paid
in cash and the rest in mortgage. In
1874 they were remarked, and the wife
gave back the mortgage. In 1874 they
were ready TO part again. The wife be.
gan suit to recover the mortgage. MIR.
John T.. Hoffman was made referee in
the case, and he has decided that the
second marriage was null and void, as
Mr.. Amsdell had no right to marry again
while his divorced wife lived. Therefore
new mortgage must be given to her and
the arrearage of interest paid.

SECRETARY FISH has forwarded

F, SECRETARY FISH has forwarded a
stern protest against the conduct OF
Great Britain in the Winslow forgery
case. That document has been deliv-
srea to the British Minister. and it is
believed that it will have the effect to
make the British authorities reconsider
their purpose to discharge Winslow on
the 1st of May. 1t is on this account
that the Secretary has withheld from
Congress the full correspondence on
this question of extradition.
