Elizabeth Of Russia.

The Empress Elizabeth of Russia,
daughter of Peter the Great, has been
styled "humane Elizabeth" because she
made vow, upon her accession to inflict
no capital punishment during her reign
and she is said to have shed tears upon
the news OF every victory gained by her
troops, from the reflection that it could
not have been obtained without great
bloodshed. But although no criminal
was formally executed in public, yet the
state prisons were filled with wretched
suffers, many Of whom, unheard of and
unknown, persisted in damp, unwhole-
some dungeons. The state inquisition, or
secret committee appointed to judge per-
sons suspected of high treason, had con-
slant occupation during her reign; many
underwent the knot. and expired under
the terrible infection. But the transac-
ton which reflects the deepest disgrace
upon her reign was the public punishment

Meeting of the Gar and Czarevna.

The Czarevna of Russia had not seen
the Czarewitch, her husband, for eight
months when she surprised him lately by
meeting him unexpectedly at Dunaburg.
She arrives first-a bright young lady,
resembling her sister, the Princess Of
Wales, but looking rather stronger. An
onlooker gives IN animated description of
the scene: Though courteous 20 all, the
Czarevna is evidently nervously impatient
for the arrival of her husband. She has
not much longer to wait; all at once the
shouting outside begins, her face becomes
radient, and, wrapping herself in the mag
nifcent rotonde Of blue fox fur, she hur-
ries to the platform, amid renewed hur-
rahs and clamorous cries Of Joy. Her eyes
are eargerly fixed on the two red globes
of the approaching engine-there is a
shrill whistle, much putting of steam and
the train rolls slowly into the station.
The Czarewitch, little guessing the sur
prise in store for him, descends saluting
as he passes the long file of soldiers drawn
up on the platform. Suddenly he sees
her; then all else is forgotten-the STA
ton, the soldiers, the crowd of people
and the wife is in her husbands arms,
held in a long embrace. Then like roar
of thunder, louder than the last, burst
forth deafening shouts, mixing up with
the national hymn.

Hll,lnE Up Potatoes.

I think that killing up in the way it is
practiced is, as a general rule, injurious,
except on very wet land. If land is cul-
tivated properly, and to the right depth,
l claim that the crop where no killing
up in the usual way is done will be near
~ double that hlled up, because those
hilled mp do not receive the proper
amount of moisture. Should there be
abundant rain to suit potatoes planted
on the level, it would scarcely reach
those in hills. Modern hills are built up
as if to ward off all the moisture possible,
and compel the poor potato to exc, out an
existence in heap Of dust. I have often
wondered, when opening out hill, how
the potatoes grew at all. My experience
in potato growing is that the proper way
to plant is on the level, and then after
this is done mulch the ground we'll with
some manure, to save as much moisture
as possible in the ground. Sometimes il
is necessary to draw up little earth
where the tubers are pressing up through
the ground, but would only put on
sufficient to cover. In drills I would
plant one good seed-eye every fifteen OF
eighteen inches, and in hills two or three
eyes at the most. As general rule,
think potatoes are planted too thick, and
too much seed put into the ground, and
very frequently we find people reserving
all the small trash Of the pit or bin fol
seed, instead of using the medium sized
potatoes Cor. Country Gentleman. %

A Reckless Riders Exploits.

Not the least remarkable incident in
the life Of count Maurice Sander was his
connection with Prince Metternich. The
Prince was as punctlious, reserved, and
measured, in words and politics, as the
count was brusque, reckless aud harum-
scarum. When he applied to the prince
for the hand of his daughter, the prince
SAID he did not care about having his
daughters neck broken; but on Sander
promising to abandon his feats of cen
taurship, he at last gave his consent. The
very same evening Sander rode bis horse

he once went over peasants wagon. He
crossed the Danube on the foes when the
ice was breaking up, galloped up and
down the Prater backward in his saddle
and rivalled all the feats performed in

In 1848 he was mobbed by the enraged
populace, on occount of his connection
with Prince Metternich: but stepping out

smashed. But by this time Sander had
got the crowd so under his control, that
no further damage was done, and what
might have turned out serious riot was
changed into convivial meeting.
Que day remarkable transformation
took place. He became as nervous and
timid as he had been reckless and dar-
ing. He never mounted horse again,
refused to take the reins when he went
out driving, and always warned his
daughter to be cautious. This change, l
was told by one of his most Intimate
friends, was due to dream. The dream
was to the effect that Satan suddenly ap.
peared with number of mirrors, which
he held one by one before the count, AID
in which Sander saw the danger he had
run in each Of his exploits. Mirror after

poured from his brow, and the last glass
was reached. But instead of showing
him this one, Satan put it back with a
leer, and said:

At this moment the count awoke, and
vowed he would never mount horse
again. and he did not.
