The Gar and the Victims of the Winter
Palace Explosion.

In the church of the military hospital,
at st. Petersburg, a requiem mass was
celebrated in memory of the soldiers
killed by the recent explosion in the
Winter palace. Side by side stood the
ten plain white coffins. Toward the
close of the requiem the emperor ar
rived, accompanied by the czarewitch
and the Grand Dukes Vladimir and
Serge. During the singing of the
Eternal Memory the czar fell on his
knees. Then he summoned to him the
officers who were on duty in the palace
on the fatal day, thanked them warmly,
for their loyal fulhllment of their duties,
and congratulated them on their mar
row escape. Pointing to the ten coffins,
he said, in bitter tone: This re-
minds me of the last campaign" Then
the czar visited the wounded soldiers,
the surviving victims of the explosion
in the palace, and spoke kindly to each
one of them.
On the next day, after mass, the burial
of the ten bodies took place. The burial
procession was honored by the presence
of the Grand Duke Constantine, accom-
panied by his son, Governor General
GOurko, Prince Imeretensky, General
Zouroff, and a large number of generals,
officers aud soldiers. This is the first

vate soldiers being carried to the grave
by officers of the highest rank. The first
coffin was borne bv Prince Souvoroff-
Rimniksky, Count VsrOntzoff- Dashkoff,

collins were decorated with wreaths
sent by the Grand Duchess Alexandra
Josephoyna. The bodies of the ten sol
diers were buried in one grave, over
which will soon be erected monument.

An Ode TO Leap Year.


One year out OF four,
Tho girls " have the floor"
Aud skip for the boys like chick ems for dough;
While the bashful men,wait,
For the choice of first mate,
And bless their dear selves that late willedi
80.
The elderly maiden,
With wrinkles laden
Has now a nice chance the question to pop,
But pity the man,
You people who can,
Who is thus caught by girl " on the hop"
The ugly old " bach
Sews on his last patch,
And can't see why his name isn't booked
For little wife
To cheer his life,
But he finds that the sweet one leaped lore
she looked.
So 20 aheatS girls,
And damage your curls,
In the faces of these who question this right;
Your chance TO propose,
AS far as it goes,
Is good; so improve it with all your might.

Marrled on a SIIding ScnIe =.

What proved quite an exciting event
in social circles occurred nj the mar
riage Of Miss Belle Chamberlin, of Bel
videre, and Mr.. John Gripp, OF Bonus
A large party had assembled at the resi-
dence Of the mother of the bride TO wit
ness the ceremony, when, as the bridal
party had taken their positions, and the
Rev. j. Whitehead, the officiating
clergyman, was about TO commence the
service, the floor gave way and sank
about three feet, mixing bride, groom,
clergyman and spectators in one COM
mon mass. tt lights were eXtingnished
fortunately without any damages, aud
for few minutes confusion reigned
supreme. IL was soon ascertained that
nobody wasehurt, and no damage, ex-
cep. 10 the floor, sustained. The lights
were relighted, the bride and groom
again took their positions, the guests
being by this time arranged on a sliding
scale, and the ceremony was conducted
without further interruption. Had there
been a cellar under the floor, the conse-
queRces must have been disastrous.
As il was, the affair is laughable.-

CrOcus.

Oh, the dear, delightful sound
OF tho drops that TO the ground
From the caves rejoicing run
In the February sun?
Drip, drip, drip, they slide and slip
From the icicle's bright tip,
Till they melt the sullen snow
On the garden bed below.
Bless mo what is all this drumming ?
Cries the crecus, &C. am coming
Pray don't knock 80 long and loud,
For I'm neither GROSS nor proud,
But little sleepy still
With the winters lingering chill.
Never mind 'Tis time to wake,
'Tis ms quickly done Ms said,
Up she thIusts her golden head,
Looks about with radiant eyes
In a kind OF shy surprise,
Tries TO say in accents surly,
DWELL you called mo very early !"
But she lights with such a smile
All the darksome plac e the while,
Every heart begins to stir
Joyfully at sight of her;
Every creature grows more gay
Looking in her face to-day.
She is greeted, "welcome, dear
Fresh smile of the hopeful year
First bright print OF springs light feet,
Golden crocus, welcome, sweet !"
And she whispers, looking up
From her richly glowing cup,
At the sunny caves so high
Overhead against the sky,
" Now I've come, oh, sparkling drops,
All your chattering pattering stops,
And I'm very glad came,
And your 'ernot the least to blame
That you hammered at the snow
Till you wakened me below
With you're one incessant tune.
I'm not here n bit too soon !"

Hunors of the Paris Restaurant.

There is a good story told of famous res
taurateur warmly recommending TO Gus
toner whom, although rich, he knew to be nc
cOnnOissour in wine, a certain Bordeaux
which he alleged to be Of some splendid old
vintage. 81 can vouch for what say" urged
the restauratcur, "for know it was pat IN
bottle the day my grandfather was baptized
The innocent victim consented and the wine
was brought ln--a bottle so covered with cob
webs aud dirt that it looked more like q large
rat than anything else. The Cradle was
handled most carefully by the sommelier, and
tbs cork was drawn with much ceremony
Imagine the horror of the poor restaurateur
and the hilarity Of the customer when fly
came buzzing out, rejoicing at having regain
ed his liberty!
Another fact worth rememb ering is that, no
matter what you may ask for, even if it be a

Monsieur" replied the garcon. "What! no

murmured in a confidential whisper: 1--WE

are not quite fresh"

"Tastes good, doesn't it?" asked the drug
clerk, as the customer drank the soda water
lavorea with pineapple syrup.
YES, very good"
The drug clerk laughed sardonically, and
said:
"Of course. But then you don't know what
it Is made Of"
"What do you meang"
"Thc old mans out" he SAID, looking eau
,iously around the store, land I'll let you into
some of the secrets of the business if you wont

apple syrup out of old cheese that you could
smell through flre-proof safe. Full of skip
pers, too! III tell you curious thing abou,
that cheese. The old man cut off slice and
brought it up stairs here with him one night
He laid it on the counter; next morning it was
gone. Come to look, the little animals in il
had showed 1t on to the floor, wriggled 1t down

ST. PETERSBURG, Russia, Oct. II, 1885,
There are accounts from Russia describing
the general situation there as deploIable. This
years harvest has been very bad, and there
are heavy calls on the government Tor assist
ance to the distressed population. The usual
means are resorted to, and the government
printing presses are fabricating paper money
as fast as they can. 1t is said that within
few days the amount of non.consolidated paper
money will be increased by seven millions Of
roubles. Exchange goes up and prices too,
$50 that discomfort and anxiety increase daily
without prospect of remedy. Industry,
trade, and enterprise are stagnant, and yet not
single measure tending to improve this state
Of affairs is at the present moment under con.
sideraion of the government A few loose
railway schemes are spoken of. and the Rus
sian press prelends that new means of COM
munication will prove paneca for all the
woes of the empire. The construction of rail
roads IN Russia generally benefits few high
officials, and is useful to the government in
facilitating the means of transport to Liberia
The Warsau Journal of last Monday gives
some particulars of recent attempt on the
Cars life, which, for reasons unknown, has
been hushcd up by the authorities. The con,
spirators had prepared mine under the en-
bankment of the Losowo-Sebastopol railway,
near the Alexandrowski station, and had
worked at it since 1870 without being dis.
covered. The nine opened by single pas
sage leading to double chamber situated
Just underneath the metals In each chamber
was deposited a charge of dynamite. The
conducting wire ran for some distance along
the embankment, and then branched off into
neighboring high road. During the recent
passage of the Car three horsed caleche
was observed standing not far from where the
mine was found. After the Imperial tram
had passed the caleche drove off at full speed,
and it is supposed that it contained gslvanlc
battery. There was, however, no explosion,
and 1t was ultimately ascertained that the
wire was cut, which was very likely done in
putting it underground
| NJ. Hartmann, who has become the recog
nized authority on the subject of attempts to
blow up the trains carrying the Gar, has tele
graphed from London to the Intrdnsigeant
a graphic description of the mine recently
discovered near Alexandrowski. This &C
count, which Is extremely circumstantal, 10
apparently derived from an authentic source
Everything had been carefully prepared for
the final coup. The wires had been tested
the time and speed of the train, and the car
rage in which the Car Travelled, had been
ascertained, and it was arranged that the
train should be blown up at both ends at
once, and sent rolling down the embankment
The charge of dynamite was twenty
times greater than was necessary to destroy
the train The ends of the Nihllists were
defeated almost by a miracle An hour be-
fore the explosion was to take place a carriage
was driven along the road under which the
wires were carried, and as these were not
buried at sufficient depth, one of them was
cut by the wheels of the vehicle
