favor of making the proposed Shenan-
doah Valley railroad narrow-gauge

Nlcholas' Bedroom.

General Won Moltke saw at st. Peters
burg the bedroom of the Emperor Nicho
las, which had been kept exactly as it
was when the sovereign last slept in it.
"The iron camp bed, with the same
bed-clothes, the coarse Persian shawl and
the cloak with which he covered himself,
the various little articles for the toilette,
the books and maps Of Sebastopol and
Cronstadt--everything remains un-
touched; even the thoroughly worn out
clippers, which he, believe, wore fol
twenty-eight years, and always would
insist on having mended again. The
wall calendar, which was ret daily, standa
1T the day of his death. The bed stands
across the middle of the room, and the
last glance of the monarch through the
large window fell, perhaps, on the broad,
proud Neva, which he had fettered with
his bridge, on the golden cupola of his
Isaac's church, and ON the sun ainkine
in the sea behind the fortifcations d
Cronstadt. Grief ct the issue of the Wal
was the disease which killed the Emperor

not bend his will-he must die"
