.yous of artists, fiitteratears, musicians, and
singers But, on the other hand, the Russian
people have to pay dearly for the luxury OF
possessing a meteorological Romanof.
Among the studies which Constantine has
pursued with the most complete success the
science OF bribery stands paramount. He
has managed to discount his influence as
President OF The Council OF State in the
most profitable manner. Every new rail-
way, manufacturing, or banking company
which applies to the Government Tor IN
corporation has to pay COnstantine--pf
course not personally, but through half a.
dozen agents and sub-agents---a handsome
tribute. Also the accounts OF many ship
building firm might, il published, tell Gu
rious tales ab.tIt how expensive an articleta
clever and educated member OF the Romanof
family actually is.
This remark, however, does not imply
that stupid ard badly educated grand dukes
prove less expensive to the country than
clever ones. A recent example has proved
the contrary, that Of the Grand Duke Nico-
laieyitch, the commander-in-chiefo OF the
Russian army during the last Bulgarian
CAMPAIGN. .Ths general opinion about Chat
man in Russia before the wariwas that be
was thoroughly ignorant, stupid, but bon-,
est and brave soldier. Recent events have
proved, however, that II the former part OF
this Judgment is correct the same cannot be-
said or its latter part. The fact is now gen
orally known in Russia that the Grand
Duke Nicholas, the brother OF the Gar
the Seneralissimo OF the army, not only
brought tins army to the verge OF ruin; by
his utter irnbecility as q commander,

killed himself as foolishly in Waldron,
Ark. He had been q performer in a ci,-
Gus, but intemperance had incapacitated
him TOR such employment, and he be-
came bar~room hummer. His sole re-
naming gymnastic feat was to stand On
his head, which he was ready to do for q
drink. Two men bet that he could not
remain inverted an hour, and he attempt
ed the teat, but rush of blood to his
head resulted fatally.

Mr.. Lewis: in his book upon actors,
says: "Racnel was the panther of the
stage; with a pan,her's terrible beauty
and undulating grace, she moved and
stood, glared and spraDg. Scorn, tri-
umph, rage and mercilsss naligDiLy she
could represent in symbols OF irresistible
power; bat she had little tenderness, no
womaniy, caressiug softness, no gayety,
no hesrtiness," Commenting upon this
criticism in com mpariaou of the two
great actresses, Rachel and biodjeska, T.
writer in Scribner says: Unlike go
many women who have reached high
levels in the dramatic art, she has lost
nothing Of her wcmanliness goodness,
rather than wickedness, is the suggestion
flowing from Nine. Modjeska's theory
and practice. Her tendency is upward,
and the influence she carries with her
before the footlights is highly moral as
we'll as Rsthetic.''
