las Fam Gus Institution.
New York HERALD
The Moscow Gazette asserts that Count
Schouvaloff is likely to be appointed
Minister Of the Interior, with a depart
ment of political police in his Ministry,
in lieu of the Third Division of the I'M
perial Chancellerie, which will be abol-
ished. Under the harmless designation
of the "Third Division" Of the Supreme
Court of Justice belonging to His I'm
perial Majesty, there has long existed,
over and above the Ministers Of the Sc
cret police, creation of the Emperor
Nicholas, designed to bring into more
regular system the secret control hitherto
more freely occupied over all suspicious
inhabitants Of the sacred Empire,
In every Russian town of any note
there appears colonel or captain of the
gendarmes corps in a light blue uniform,
whose official sphere is nowhere legally
circumscribed and limited, but Of whom
every one knows the fact that he is the
overseer of the Governor, and Of all the
chief officers and magistrates Of the
Province, and that he has the right to
interfere in every important affair, and
to demand information respecting it.
The officer is generally an agreeable man,
| with polished manners, and everywhere
, an honorary member Of all societies and
associations. At the same time he is the
head of a class Of people whose visits he
receives after sunset, and who transact
business with him about which no honest
man cares to trouble himself.
| Everything which excites attention or
deserves attention is communicated by
this "blue officer" who is the most
dreaded man In the town, and who has
no respect for persons, to his superior, the
chief Of the "third DIVISION" and this
| individual is the highest officer of the
Empire, and the intimate confdant Of
the Emperor, although he does not bear
the title of Minister. All the threads
of the State machinery pass through his
hands; he knows everything, and he in
forms the Emperor of everything. There
is no limit to hispower within the bounds
of the empire. The surveillance of Rus
SLAMS living abroad and the correspon-
dence with agents whom they employ Is
carried on directly by the "third diyi-
sion."
| During the DAYS when Nicholas stood
at the height Of his power a well-known
wit said that "the Emperor Of Russia
had only to sneeze and the fools in Spain
went to sleep half an hour earlier than
usual" Hence the discretion of power
Of such extraordinary importance was
invariably placed in the hands Of men

THE Old PAIN.
An Affecting Story of a Family Life
in Danbury, Conn.

in Danbury, Conn.
It was at this season of the year, Just
seven years ago, that an extraordinary
scene occurred at Danbury. 1t was in
the evening, and a couple were bringing
in several pots Of plants from the yard
to save them from the frost which the
temperature of outdoors threatened.
While thus engaged she spoke, referring
to a geranium she had in her hand.
w wouldn't lose this one for great
deal, as mother gave it to me-"
He looked at it.
"Your mother gave it to your Guess
not; bought that plant myself"
"Why, it's no such thing"
81 tell you I did," he added, speaking
with warmth.
Sand l tell you you didn't" she assev-
Grated. "Do you suppose l don't know
what was given to mef"
ado you suppose don't know what l
bought with my own moneys"
eff you say you bought that gerani-
um," she said, speaking very slowly and
with white lips, "you say what you know
to be false"
"Do you mean to say that I Lief" he
hissed.
eff you say that, do"
"You shall be sorry for this" he
threatened"
"Never," she retorted.
He put on his hat and coat and left
the house.
That was seven years ago. She never
saw him again OF heard from him in all
that seven years What must have been
the thoughts, the agony Of mind endured
by that wretched wife in that time no
one on earth knows. She kept her
thoughts to herself, and patiently, as far
as outward appearance went, bore the
burden put upon her.
Recently her door opened and man
walked into her presence. There was a
look, cry, and she was In the arms of
her husband. What happy home was
that. All the agony of seven long years
was forgotten in that hour of reconcilia-
ton and reunion. A happy supper was
spread, and with tears and smiles she
hovered about him; ministering to his
every want. After supper there was a
long talk of the past.
"It is SO singular" she ssid, speaking
in one of her pauses, "that it should
have happened as it did. I can scarcely
comprehend it all. 1t seems like ali
awful dream. We both lost our tempers,
and we have both suffered for it. The
miserable geraniumi Do You know I
can't bear to see one Of those plants? /
told mother to come and take it back, for
l would not have it in sight"
"What" he calculated, "do you still
persist in saying that she gave it to
your
"Why, John, Of course she did. Have
you not got over that idea yeti"
"No, l haven't" he persisted, his face
darkening. 'I bought that geranium, as
sure as am living man."
She thought Of his years Of cruel de-
sertion, of all he had caused her to suffer
because of his obstinacy, and her heart
hardened, and her face flushed.
"You are mean to say that when you
know it is false"
"It isn't false. It's heavens truth"
"Ips no such thing it's mean, con-
temptible lie"
He jumped up from the chair, seized
his hat and coat and shot out of the
house like fash, and she never uttered
a word in protest. She sat there with
clinched hands and white face and let
him 20.
And 30 he is gone. And to-day she is
alone with the old burden and the old
pain.

An Auburn sportsman explains why
he receives the numerous sea-serpent sto-
ries Of the season with grain of allow
ance. He was hunting on the shores of
a lake in the wilds of Michigan, when he
saw what 81 believed to be monster
snake, fifty or sixty feet in length, and
ten or twelve inches in diameter, with
humps on its back some two feet in
length. At first its course was almost
directly toward my place of conceal
ment." When he was about to fly for
his life, the serpent, then a few rods
away, changed his course, and resolved
himself at once into a colony of otter
swimming in single file. His inference
is that sea animals may sometimes travel
in the same manner, and give sailors an
opportunity Of drawing the long bow.

Mr.. Fair, of NeTads, adopted = very husi-

enough money out of his inexhaustiblo

Judge Black, of New York, in response to
q call of the Chamber of Commerce for an
opinion as te the injuries inflicted by the dis.

:atien charges, makes a reply in which the
following weighty points are considered. He
says: "The railroad men believe, or pre-
tend to believe that the railways are proper

claimed now as private property of the CON-

as highways is utterly denied Nevertheless
thint the claim of these companies to take
