The Czar's Dreadful Malady.

The contemplated temporary retirement
of the Czar of Russia and the regency OF
the Czarewitch is a step which has long
been seen to be sooner or later inevitable.
The Czar has for number of years suffer-
cd from the inherited melancholy madness
of his family, which has been fostered by
resort to stimuiants as means OF reIef.
His malady is hopeless form OF softening
Of the brain, and the respite from work
which he is about to give himself can have
little permanent effect, though it may post
pone for year or two the final collapse.
The Czar's eldest son died a mass OF dis
ease. and though the present heir to the
throne is of robust constitution, he is said
to be subject to fits of temper which recall
the yagaries of the line of lunatics who
| have previously sat on the Russian throne
He ID understood to lean very strongly te
the Old Russian party, and also to 90 very

Pouring Tea.

The Housekeeper. says: There is more to
be learned about pouring out tea and cof-
fee than lnost ladies are willing to believe.
IF those decoctions are made at the table,
which is by far the best way, they require
experience, Judgment and exactness if
they are brought on the table ready made,
it still requires judgment SO to apportion
them that they shall prove sufficient in
quantity for the family party, and that the
elder members shall have the stronger cup.
Often persons pour out tea who, not being
at all aware that the first cup is the weak
est, and that the tea grows stronger as you
proceed, bestow the poorest cup upon the
greatest stranger, and give the strongest
to very young member of the family who
would have been better off without any.
Where several cups of equal strength are
wanted you should pour little into each,
then 90 back, inverting the order as you
fill them up, and the strength will be ap-
portioned properly. This is SO well under
stood in Egnland that an experienced pour
er Of tea waits till all the cups OF the com
pany are returned to her before she ILLS
any a second time, that all may share i

4" Darling Hattie"

W. N. Byers, Of the Denver NeDs, has
received a serious set back in his aspira-
tions to become the new Governor. Of the
State of Colorado. 1t seems the would-be
Governor had a g Darling Hattien in the
person Of Mrs. Sancomb, for whom he
professed a greater amount Of affection than
circumstances would warrant, taking into
consideration the fact that he had wife in
the East. Judging from the tenor Of Mrs.
Sancomb's letters to w. N. B., which the
correspondent of the Chicago Tinaes has nm
earthed, everything is not lovely at present.
In fact it is directly the opposite, and Mrs.
Sancomb is evidently ON the war-path il we
may judge from the following windup in
one of her Numerous epistles:
"If you go to the Boulder parade III be
likely to meet you at the Junction, and
wouldn't it be fun 10 put a few bullets
four, just four-t through your heart. When
and where can have the pleasure Of killing
you cold and lifeless in your regalia. For

The Hotel System Of New York.

New YORK, April 24.-The hotel system
OF prices has fallen at last, sullenly fallen
Put up as late as 1868 to three dollars g
day, it mounted in a few years to four, five
and even six dollars, and the price of the
cheapest lodgings rose to two dollars a
night at hotels which formerly took, with
thanks, two dollars and half for three
meals and chamber besides. The ease
with which the travelling public submitted
to plunder spurred up the landlords to ask
corresponding rents, and when the custom
ceased the landlord had the hotel-keeper on
his hands. sixty-five thousand dollars has
been only ordinary hotel rent here for five
years. A landlord who pays this figure
told me few days ago that he was willing
to ledge people now for dollar. Almost
all the hotel men are behind in rent thous-
ands of dollars to their landlords. The
celebrated New York Hotel closed it's doors
last week, unable to pay $54, 900. Delmon-
leo has broken up his place opposite Stew
arts wholesale store, and the uptown place
on Fifth Avenue will be deserted in few
weeks for cheaper rent and more eligi-
BILE site. There are but two or three large
hotels in New York paying expenses. The
most elaborate house Of them all has given
such anxiety to its lessee that his health
was long despaired of. Even the Fifth Av-
enue Hotel rents it's guests parlors to the
Empress Of Brazil for daily per capita of So.
TLo - Sc, ELL 80 hot al
we'll as lanquishing hotels. The Astors
have made voluntary reduction in all
their rents, and hence the Astor house is
proitably run by the help of its restaurant.
But there is a blight over all New York
real estate, and many man who bought
rocky lot, thinking it was better than a
farm, finds that he has got a cave of Mach
pelah. Nearly all tue politicians Of Tweed's
time took real estate as their dividend in
the jobbery they "carried it'' until it
swept away their margins and made them
penniless, and returned upon the banks.
Taxation, meantime, remorselessly pursues
the foreclosers. And thus the great bub-
Bile of an impregnable real estate is pricked
in the mighty jobber who Improved" it.
Office rent in the crowded parts Of down
town also goes begging, and huge edifices'
with elevators, hardly pay taxes, and re-
sounds to the lonely feet of the few who oc-
cupy them. Nor are the many blocks OF
''flats" or apartments above stores bring
ing tile fictitious prices Of former years.
After the 1st of May the New York land
lord will observe his naked floors and the
Shyloch prices he had stood out for, and

An Der True Tale.
From the Danbury News.

ETOul LuS OduUuIy N6Ns-
Dear reader, here is an occurrence COM
mon all over this broad land, but which
the public knows naught of. 1t is lighted
room. Comfortably seated at the table is
a man with careworn face on which is
strangely blended the emotions of relief
and apprehension. He settles far back in
his chair. He opens a newspaper, and
after cursory glance over it as whole,
he turns out the local page, and rf'-',.aan e,,..

suddenly the face which has become mex
pressive, winces. Pretty soon there is an
other vince, accompanied by either
decrease or increase of color. Nervously
he begins the next column and goes down
it more hastily than the preceding. lie
reaches the bottom with sigh OF relief,
and attacks the third with trifie less ner-
vousness and much less expression. Sud
denly he clutches the paper with tighter
grasp, as if to save himself from falling
and utters an agonizing exclamation. It
ia some FIVE minutes before he can resume
the reading. s00sow he is in the last column,
and il nerusing the marriages, He reaches

the man in the chair drops the paper -
the floor, catches both hands into his hair
as if to lift himself from the face of the
earth, and utters groan that seems to
come from the very depths of crushed
heart. There is not soul to witness this
misery. Not tongue to speak one word
of sympathy. All alone with himself, the
wretched man, with white face and flaming
eyes, fights with his grief. No one knows
his thoughts, or ever will. It is doubtful
if he thinks at all. To every appearance
he is in stupor Of misery-a stupor sc
great as to deprive him of reason, of every
motion except the spasmodic twisting al
his hair. Heaven help the miserable
| wretch-for of all the despair and desola
tion and agony on this globe of ours there
is nothing to equal this. The man is
