Car Nicholas and His Doctor.

On the I'd of March, 1855, when it was
known that the Gar Nicholas had died,
wild excitement, increasing from day
to day, burst forth against his favorite
physician, DR.. Mandt, the more readily
suspected because he was German.
Busy callmniators spread the news
abroad in all circles that the guilt of the
Empcror's death lay at the door of his
Prussian doctor. Mandt's family, who
We're then at Frankfort, were in the
greatest terror, when their fear was re-
moved 10y dispatch from st. Petersburg
stating that the present Gar, Alexander,
had taken up the defense Of the calum-
mated man, having called him into
his presence, thanked him before the
court for the care of his father,
and presented him with magnificent
gold snutf-box, richly set with diamonds.
The doctor, 1t appears, has left behind
him detailed account of the last days
and hours of his imperial patient. Al
most his only friends at court beside
the Gar himself were the heir to the
throne and the Grand Duchess Helena.
He was an object of violent dislike to
her husband, the Grand Duke Michael.
When the Gar wns taken i'll Mandts
mcaner foes whispered about that he
would poison their master. The Grand
Duchess Helena warned him of the plots
against his reputation and person. Her
husband called him into private room.

mcnt," says DIR. Mandt. 81 thought
he would seize me by the collar, but my
GOODNESS seemed to make some impress
sion upon him, and he contcnted him
self by shaking his fist in my face, and
exclaiming, 'traitorr An excited
conversation passed between them and
the Prince ended by saying, "On the
day upon which the precious health of
the Gar is endangered by your treat
mcnt, your learned head shall hang up
on your neck by the thinness Of n single
thread"
Nicholas himself was worked up into a
temporary suspicion of the fidelity of his
doctor. One day, upon feeling himself
better, the Gar said: "Mandt, do You
know that believed yesterday that you
were bent upon poisoning me ?" 81
knew it, Sire," replied the doctor.
"Then do not forget" observed the
Emperor, that You have enemies here,
and many of them" On the night of
the I'd of March, Mandt had to tell the
Gar the fateful news that his recovery
was impossible. Nicholas received the
information with great calmncss. He
ordered the sacrament to be brought,
took leave of the Empress, his children
and grandchildren, kissed them, and
blessed each by name with firm, clear
voice. To the Empress he said: 81
shall send for thee when the last mo-
mcnt draws nigh. -LOndOn Globe.

What Women Should BE.

Very few women are qualified, either
by nature or training, to'play the part
of judicious domestic Providence, un-
restrained by any other influence and
the abdication of the husband is gcner
ally attended by humiliation and suffer-
lng to the rest for without balance of
power we may expect abuses to steal in,
whether States or families are victimized
by an unfortunate adjustment OF circlm-
stances. For it is men on whom the
sterncr and more serious responsibilities
of existence fall. Men who bear the
burden and heat Of the day, husbands
and brothers who give their lives for
their country, and die by thousands of
every lingering torture under II foreign
sky they must act under heavy mental
pressure and distress, while women, who
are generally led by any other bias save
their judgment or intellect, may in
dulge in hysterical views of everything
at their ease at home. Marriage pro-
tects women, who, in return, are ex-
pected to embellish life, soften its trials,
and, with womanly graces, smiles and
kindness, avert the threatening clouds
of adversely from bursting in unchecked
violence on the family circle. 1t is II
fine field of enthusiasm, action and en-
terprise in which women may enlist. and
the more highly toned their moral ethics
the better they may form character,
direct aims, soothe despair, and, by their
delicate tact, instincts and perception,
assist in mitigating much cruel suffering
and disappointment. Women should
represent beauty of some kind or another.
There is nothing man so much detests
as a masculine woman; she expects to
share his equality, while at the same
time refusing to accept his claims and
responsibilities. - Tnsieys Nngazine,

National Peculiarities.

a writer on French and English con-
trasts says: "To call an Englishman n
melon, or to say to country woman that
she was good, cow-like creature would
be no very grave offense but applied TO
French people these terms would be
deadly insults. You must not call a
Frenchman canary, either, nor u tur-
kcy-cock, the latter term meaning much
more than it does in English; nor must
you say Of lady that she is II wren
(ionette), this being synonymous in
French to saying that she is simpleton.
The similarity in the sound Of English
and French words often causes foreign
crs who visit France to make mistakes.
Thus they will ask for an appmtcmcnt
when they do not want II suit of rooms,
but one single room; and they say that
their style of living is MruricW' when
they seek to convey that it is luxurious,
the French for which is hrcnr. Again.
they mistake bonnet for bonnet, which
must be rendered chapcau; uicoire for
vicar, which is cure, while curate is
ricaire;; and discussion for discus
sion, whereas this word in French means
an angry wrangle. Frenchmen are great
kissers and shakers of hands. hut the
latter courtesy is not practiced between
sexes. A Frenclman bows to a lady
without extending his palm and he
would be thought to be very forward i'll
deed if he tried to shake hands with an
unmarried lady He might kiss mar
ried lady, however, on New Years Day,
or in an outburst of great emotion on any
other occasion, without anybody--cvcn
the misunderstanding; and he may
embrace members Of his own sex at all
times. A French grown-up son kisses
his father, and alludcs TO him IA papa
and, as everybody knows, a son must ask
his 'papa's' consent to his marriage, no
matter how old he may be-.
