Moscow.

National Repository for May.1
The Russian loves Moscow. It is the
idol of every Russian heart. Her shrines
are to him the holiest in the empire,
hallowed by seven centuries of hister-
ical associations. But grand and holy as
it is, it has suffered from the sword, the
torch, and the plague. Three hundred
years ago, it was nearly consumed by
fire, in which two thousand of its citi-
zens perished. Fifty years later, the
Tartars fired the suburbs, and one hun
dred thousand of its inhabitants per-
ished by the flames and by the sword.
A hundred years ago, the fatal plague
SO reduced its population that it never
regained its former proportions. Within
our own century, and to save it from
plunder by the French, the people gave
up their beautiful city to the flames,
the grandest sacrifice ever made to ma
tional pride. But when the French re-
treated, the city was rebuilt, and is to-
day ga thing of beauty" Its too fire.
quent reconstruction is the cause of the
irregularity everywhere apparent. Only
a few of the streets are straight; q
palace and a hovel, a state building and
store, splendid church and a small
hotel, adJoln each other, and the rich
and the poor are nearest n&ghbors
Nothing is more~noticeable and attract
i've than the display of colors, red
white, green, gold, and silver, with
which the public and private building'
are ornamented. Rome has long beer
celebrated as the Getty of churches,
having one for each day in the year
and an additional one for leap year bu
Moscow can boast of nearly four hun
dred temples dedicated to religion. Al
though the decentralization of the cit,
is more than twenty English miles, ye

confined within narrow limits. Th

by noble bridges, and along its bank

Am Adventure of Carl Schurz.

Arthur Venner thus writes in Harper's
Magazine for May: 1t was in Spandau
that the adventure occurred which won
Carl Schurz his knights spurs-if one
may use a medieval figure in this un-
knightly age. But the whole adventure
is thoroughly romantic. Before the
troubles of 184s, Schurz was studying
medicine at Bonn, and there became
intimate with the poet and professor,
Gottfried Kinkle. This Kinkle was
wild, visionary writer, but seems to
have possessed that personal magnetism
which secures the truest and most self
sacrificing friends. Both he and Schurz
took part in the so-called Baden revolu-
ton in 1849-a campaign which, so far
as the revolutionists were concerned, re-
sembled more closely Fenian invasion
of Canada than any other military
event with which am acquainted. At
the breakup those patriots who were
able crossed the frontier into France or
Switzerland. Schurz reached the latter
country; but Kinkle was caught, and
locked up in the penitentiary at Span
dau, where he spent most of his time in
spinning yarn for the Government s
benefit. His friends, however, were not
u
but uncongenial employment without
making an effort to release him from it.
His wife woman of great energy of
was ready to help, and he called at once
! to Bonn to see her. From there he went
with letters to some trustworthy person
in Berlin, notably to certain physician
there; and these two, with the assistance
of country gentleman living in the
neighborhood of Spandau, arranged and
carried out the daring attempt. They
succeeded in bribing a turnkey, who,
between eleven and twelve at night,
having provided himself with the dupli
cate key to Kinkle's cell, which hung in
the prison Office, and a rope, let the
latter out, and got him on to the roof Of
the building, whence he was let down te
the street, where Schurz and the
physician were waiting. They con
Quoted him with all possible haste to {
neighboring inn, where a suit of plair
clothes was awaiting him, the doctor
taking in exchange his prison gear
lswlrieh he intended, and, to his sorrow
actually did, preserve as a relic, though
implored by his friends to destroy s,
! dangerous a possession. For not Ions
y Rafterward, he being suspected of having
had hand in Kinkle's fight, his hous
was searched, and the clothes bein,
found, he was sentenced to long tern
in prison and died there. This, however
is a depression. After the change o
dress was effected, the beforementione,
country gentleman appeared with
carriage and span of fine horses, him
self on the box, and, after Schurz an
Kinkle had got in, started for tn
Mecklenburg boundary. They reache,
in safety the port of Rostock, bein
everywhere helped by trustworth
friends, and from there the two sale
for Scotland in a vessel dispatched b
its generous owner solely to conve
