The CZar Nicholas.

In the year 1874, when a piece bear
ing the title "The Emperor Paul. was
announced for performance in Paris,
Nicholas wrote to the King, '' If you
do not forbid the representation will
send million of spectators to hiss it
from the stage"
As the Emperor was once taking a
walk he heard q man and a woman
talking loudly in the German language.
Hearing the man declare that he would
not quit the spot until he had seen the
Emperor, the latter went towards him
and demanded who he was and what he
wished. The German, who did not
know the Gar, answered that he was
an artisan from Hamburg and desired
to submit paper describing a new and
cheap method of making shoe soles for
the army. Why do you apply direct
to the Emperor" inquired the Czar;
"why have you not first addressed
yourself to some one about himp" "1
wished to do SO and called on the Chief
of Police for the purpose" returned
the man, /" but his clerk asked me to
pay 800 roubles, which is impossible,
as l have no money" "Then you
might have communicated with the
Governor-General," suggested the
Gar. "Has he, then, no Secretary
inquired the man. If SO, 500 instead
of 800 roubles would probably have
been demanded of me-" The Emperor,
smiling, said, Then you should have
gone with your petition direct to the
Grand Duke Michael Pawlowitsch." :"
ITO him! Go to that scourge of SOL
dicrs, the Grand DukeP Not for the
worldr' replied the man. "Well, my
fine fellow" said the Gar, +" if You
will only transact your business with
the Emperor in person speak up. for l
am he" At this unexpected revelation
the honest Hamburger was SO terrified
that, trembling from head to foot, he
fell on his knees. In doing SO his hat
dropped from his hand. The Emper-
! or's dog, his almost constant compan-
ion, seizing the hat began playing with
it. The Emperor contemplated the
scene with characteristic pride, hugely
relishing the fright of the poor artisan.
At last be pulled the hat from between

tanned Republican majorities in districts
overwhelmingly Democratic, then Gov
ernor Garcelon and his associates
might with some plausibility suggest
that the Democratic Board in Maine
might do what the Republican scoun-
drels had done in Louisiana. Then the
Nation and Judge Trumbull might sug-
gest that the Democrats in Maine we're
only giving the Republicans a taste of
the Louisiana medicine, and that it was
really no more criminal to be dishonest
in Maine than it was in Louisiana, and
that it was pity and calamity, ETC..
ETC., that men should do these things,
and that it was painful to contemplate
that the public conscience was so de-
praved that the successful thieves in
Maine would be sustained by their
party, as was the case in Louisiana.
Had the facts in Maine been in the
least like those in Louisiana, then the
Nation might be somewhat excusable
in its absurd winnings concerning the
effect of evil example. The attempt to
establish even the semblance of par
allel between the facts and the law un-
der which Garcelon and his associates
have acted in Maine, and the facts and
the law existing in Louisiana. is a Ia
mentable and confessed failure; and yet
Mr.. Trumbull, and the Nation, and the
Democrats generally, pretend to apollo
gize for and even defend Garcelon by
citing the example of Wells. - Chicago

the dogs teeth, and handing it, smiling,
to the still kneeling Hamburger, said:
" Do not be alarmed, my friend; give
me your paper; l will have it exam
ined. Meanwhile, come to the palace,
where you shall have a pecuniary in
demnity for the fright you have suf-
fered." On the day following the En-
peror invited the Grand Duke Michael
Pawlowitsch, the Governor General,
Count Essen and the Chief of Police,
Kokeschkin, to dine with him. He re-
lated to them the adventure he had had
and enjoyed immensely their embar-
rassment and confusion. What came
of the proposal does not appear, but the
Hamburger himself went mad. At this
termination of the affair the Emperor
was moved with compassion and al
lowed the family of the victim regu-
lar pension. -BoguslaUskis Memoirs.

A Big Tooth.

While excavating for well at the
Magnolia mills, in this city, sixteenfeet
under the surface, the miners came in
contact with the remains of some i'm
mense omnivorous animal. A section
of one of the teeth, supposed to be the
top surface of one of the lower grind
ers, can be seen at our Office. The
parts of the teeth, the bones, and what
are supposed to be the knee and hip
sockets of the joints, were brought up.
Only portions of this immense animal
were struck, but the parts of the re-
mains found would indicate that it was
superior in size to the largest elephant.
The inside pith Of the bones are per-
feet, though the bones are quite rotten.
The tooth or grinders we have in our
Office measure twenty and one-half
inches in circumference, and four and
one-half inches across the surface one
way and eight and one-half the other.

The Criminal Code OF the Jews.

The rabbins were the first among an
cient legists to render the infliction of
the death penalty as. painless as possi-
BILE. The manner in which the sentence
of the law in capital cases were carried
into effect was regulated by series of
enactments. Every detail was preor-
dained. The place of execution was
always beyond the limits of the town;
generally at some distance from the
hall where judgment had been pro-
nounced. There were two reasons for
this-first, that a certain interval of
time should elapse between sentence
and execution, so as te permit the court
to examine any evidence that might yet
be forthcoming; and, secondly, that
the Synhedrin should not witness the
execution. As soon as the punishment
of death was decreed, the criminal was
conducted from the court. Two elders,
the witnesses and the officers of the
tribunal accompanied him. In advance
of the cortege walked an attendant,
proclaiming aloud, /" So-and- SO is to be
executed for such and such an offense;
so-and-so are the witnesses; the crime
was committed ut such place, on such
day. at such an hour. If any person
can urge anything against the infliction
of the punishment, let him go to the
Synhedrin now sitting and state his
arguments" Thus the party pro-
ceeded through the town. Arrived
within six yards of the place of execu-
ton the sages who were with the cul-
prit pressed him to confess his crime.
They told him that whosoever makes
confession is privileged to share in the
lamhabd-future existence, since death
was an expiation of all iniquities. II
he refused to acknowledge his guilt he
was asked to say, e May my death
prove an atonement for all my trans.
gressions." He was then conducted To
within four yards of the place where
the sentence was to be carried into eff.
feet. The death draught was here ad.

Writes on, Had words to complete it, --

And the faint, smothered laugh in the hall
And the eerie-low lisp on the silence

Telling how as one night i sat writing

A WATER spaniel recently followed
his master into a machine shop in Pu-
laski. N. Y, and while wagging his tail
briskly got too close to an oily shaft
which was making $50 revolutions per
minute. The hairs were long and were
wrapped once around the shaft before
the dog got ready to wag his tail the
other. way. The shaft made thirty
seven and one-half revolutions in fifteen
seconds, and the dog likewise, before
his master discovered his predicament
and released him. After his adventure
the spaniel was very much out of breath
but was not seriously hurt.

Effort to Have Mining Property

Especial Dispatch to the Press i

Especial Dispatch to the Press.l
AUGUSTA, March 12.-The project to carve
town out OF the city of Rockland is killed.
There is large lobby here from Bangor of
parties interested in mining companies who
are trying to prevent the taxation of mining
properties. They claim that the exemption of
such properties from taxation will bring mil.
lians of dollars into the State for Investment
Only one hearing took place before the VAL
uation Commission today, which was given to
Ebenezer Sproul of Veazie. Nothing of pub
lie interest occurred.
A petition has been signed by over 600
names which will be presented to the city gov
eminent, asking that Joshua Nye be appointed
city marshal.
When the bill for the restoration of the
salary and number of judges of the Supreme
Court in taken up in the Senate tomorrow
Mr.. Locke, President of that body, will take
the floor and advocate its passage.
A bill was reported to-day in the House in
relation to the insolvency laws which provides
that whenever any city or town is indebted to
an amount exceeding 40 per cent. of its valu-
alton, composition of its Indebtedness may
be made under the direction of the Judge of
Probate is substantially the same manner as in
the case of individuals. This bill is for the
special relief of the town of Wiscasset, and is
very carefully guarded in respect to the rights
of creditors
