RUSSIANS AND GERMANS.
Probable Results Il Case Of "A European
War.

Probable Results In Case OF European
War
In the event of a European war, which
seems imminent now, ii will be interest
ing to know something about the men
who are at the head of the Russian EN-
pire-the great power which will place
in the field the largest army ever known
in the history of warfare. Emperor
Alexander, who has never been a strong
man, is growing weaker as he grows
older; and, although he is now but nifty
eight years of age, he has become we'll
nigh seniIe. The recent reports OF his
intended abdicaiion in his sons favor
probably had their origin more in the
wishes of the people than IN the desires
of the emperor himself, for absolute SOW
ereignty is not the kind of baubie that
even a weak man would care TO throw
away. Alexander has always been an
intense admirer of his uncle, the Ger
man emperor, and has been more or less
subject to German influence. All the
best posts In the Russian service are filled
by Germans, even to the place of the
commander Of the great Russian army OF
conquest in the east, which Is hiied by
one Kaufman. The Russian people
have no fondness for the Germans, ana
this preference for their old-time enemies
fills them with disgust. The czar's phys
ical unsoundness is as conspicuous as Was
his fathers extraordinary bodily yigor,
and this fact places him at disadyan
tage among 50 hardy a race as the Rus
SLAMS. But his son and heir, the caro-
WITT, supplies in his character, person
aud opinions many of the deficiencies OF
his imperial father. He hates the Ger
mans as intensely as his father loves them
is intimately associated with the anti
German feeling Of the country, ana Il
naughty and imperious where ms iatheI
is weak and complaisant. 1t Is the ola
story of an heir-apparent allylng himsei
with a powerful opposition to gam PoPl-
Iaritv; and it is pretty tOlerably certain
that the czarowitz is more popular to-day
than the emperor. In the event, there

unlikely that influence would be oro9ght

The New Material for Paner.

Okra, a species of mallOW from two to
six feet high, which grows profusely at
the south, and has heretofore served
chiefly to thicken soup with its pods, Is
on the verge ef promotion to higher uses.
1t has been talked of for paper stock for
these twenty-five years, and has in fact
been successfully used for paper stock at
various times since 1860, being one of the
comparatively few discoveries made at
the south. The first suggestion, that
the outer fiber Of the plant could be so
used, was made by a French officer in
Algeria, but it was of no pactical value,
this fiber bearing too small proportion to
the whole plant to make it pay Dr.
Read, of Richmond, Va, first discov-
cred the adaptation of the whole plant to
Paper-making, and patented his discov-
cry eleven years ago; since then severa
northern mills have tried it, and a Mo
bile mill made good enough paper to
use for newspapers, so that the Mobile
Register printed an edition on it. The
only reason the manufacture has not
been prosecuted, is the lack of material
and it is yet to be introduced to any ex-
tent, even In the south. It would make
a profitable field crop and will grow in
any part of the Union. 1t requires a
pressure in bleach-boiling stronger than
is necessary for any stock now used. in
order to have the paper white, and
boilers would have to be constructed
with reference to this. The paper is re-
markably tough, and in this repect better
than almost any other now used for
newspapers.

But mother art thou living yet,
And dOst thou still remember me?

The Winters blow along my way;
But over every light or shade
Thy memory lives by night and day;
It soOthes to sleep my widest pain,
Like some sweet song that will not die.
And, like the InuTmUr of the main,
Grows deeper when the storm is nigh.

To those green Mills of which we dream;
