LONDON, February 23.-Alexauder
Of Hesse, in letter to his wife from
St. Petersburg, says: We were pro-
ceeding through large corridor to his
his majesty's apartments, when, sud-
denly a fearful detonation was heard,
and the flooring was raised as by an
earthquake. The gas was extinguish-
ed and we were left in total darkness.
at the same time horrible dust and
smoke Of gunpowder or dynamite
filed the corridor. Some one shouted
that the chandler had fallen in the
saloon where table was laid for din
ner. hastened thither with the
czarowitch and the grand duke Vladi-
mir, while count Adlenberg was in
doubt as to what might happen, held
back from the emperor. We found
all the windows broken and the
walls in runs. Dinner had
been delayed half an hour for my ar
rival, and it is owing to this circum-
stance that the imperial family had
not yet assembled in the dining hall.
General Gourko, governor general
Of St, Petersburg, General Dreutetu
chief of the imperial police, and Gen
eral Souroff, prefect Of the police Of
St. Petersburg, have received notices
from the Nihilists informing them
that they need not trouble themselves
to make arrangements for an illumi-
nation on the occasion of the czar's

preparing such an illumination as has
not been seen since Nero burned

TIE Nashville American -'t, Of the 2Is

TIE Nashville American Of the 2lst
says:
The approach of Gould toward
Memphis may not indicate the
cutting off of that city from the west;
ON the contrary we should rather ex-
pect the reverse. With tho compile
ton of the Texas and Pacific Gould is
more likely to seek the way to the
sea from Memphis than to continue to
haul to the far east by st. Louis. At
Memphis he has the choice Of lines to
the sea on the Atlantic coast, or to
the ,guifby way of Mobile, and he can
easily own or control lines to either.
It makes no difference to him whether
his trade makes the east or the west or
the south SO that il fills the measure of
his ambition. Indeed if the desider-
atum be a short way to water with
western freights, we are not yet half
through with the complications aad
readjustments.

A gross case of police outrage was
reported in our columns yesterday.
About three weeks since young
workman named Payne, was walking
homeward through Shadwell at one
o'clock in the morning, and had
stopped for an instant to ask his way
OF passer-by when constable
Jacob Jackonenki, of the X division
came up, charged him with "loafng. d
and, improving upon this somewhat
vague accusation, added that he was a
thief" He then took PAYNE
to the stationhousc, and while
his prisoner was walking quietly
by his side assaulted him in the most
BRUTAL manner by striking him three
times over the head with his trun-
cheon. Payne's head was cut open in
three places and his face was stream
ing with blood when he arriyed at the
station where his captoF charged him
with being drunk and disorderly
The inspector on duty was shrewd
enough to see that there was no foun-
dation for the charge, and besides that
the prosecutor was himself suffering
from the effects of drink, so he at once
dismissed Payne and let him 60 home.
Mr., Lushington, after hearing the
evidence, found that Jackonenki had
committed savage and aggravated
assault" and sentenced him to two
months imprisonment with hard
labor.

The enthusiasm with which the
theatrical managers and artists are
entering upon the work of relieving
the distress in Ireland, and the spirit
Of dlsinterestedness evinced BY them
i9 the movement, give them strong
additional claim upon the esteem ef
the public. Not as q rule, rich them-
selves, no class in the community
whenever an appeal is made
does more in the way of
relieving the distress Of their fellow
creatures than the managers, actors
aud actresses. Their generosity has
in fact almost become proverb. In
the present case nearly every manager
and artist Of note in the country has
rendered his assistance and co.opera-
ton. II only remains for the public
to be equally liberal and disinterested
and mark their appreciation Of SO
much generosity by, when the time
comes furnishing 9YeFacWiRg houses,

We are informed by DR.. Bowen anG
others, who visited the great canyon
of the Little Colorado, that it sur,
passes the Grand canyon of the Biz
Colorado, in depth, at least one mile
which would make it over two miles
from the surface down TO the water
AT the top they tried the
distance across by firing several
shots over from a needle gun, with
raised sights. The bullets generally
fell short or dropped from the level
about eight feet, therefore the con-
clusion arrived at was that the canyon
must be in the neighhorhood of 500
feet wide. The walls are nearly as
perpendicular as tho walls of a
house, showing conclusively that
the bottom of the conyon is
about as wide as the top. The
water Of the Little Colorado, in this
canyon of rock, is almost as great as is
the water in the Big Colorado, where
it passes through what is termed the
Grand canyon; still, in looking at it
from tho top down into this awful
abyss, the stream did not appear TO bo
more than two feet wide. This is
probSSly the deepest canyon in the

BADLY DEMORALIZED.
The Injurious Effects of Striped
Stockings.

Saratoga Letter to the Courier -Journal.l
| will take the liberty OF saying a
few words upon the immortality of en-
brOideried stockings. As every one
stands in the presence of the queen,
Of course her majesty's sense of mod
esty has never been shocked by the
display of the extent of their fancy
stockings. When a departure was
first made from fine white stockings
to those of fancy colors and embroi-
derry on the instep there was not the
slightest suspicion that it would lead
to immortality. 1t is true that there
has always existed strange prejudice
against the fact that woman's body
rested upon legs, and that she has feet
for locomotion, While it is proper
for women to rebel against the absurd.
ity Of having men suppose that
they were divested of a most
important part of the human
structure without even the substitute
of angels wings, yet tn re is nc need
Of dressing feet and legs for the pur-
pose of drawing the attention of men
to the protest. | will affirm, too. that
this dressing is not intended especial
ly for ladies' admiration any more than
the immodestly low dresses are in
tended for them. Crossing the legs
while sitting is a masculine attitude;
it is ungraceful, and the women who
practice it in public may be set down
as lacking in feminine delicacy. Love
ly stockings are charming, and the
slippers which are designed expressly
to wear with embroidered stockings
make even ugly feet look pretty. Then
why should the wearers pervert the
beauty of these things until they are
demoralizing2 1t is because human
nature has tendency to viciousness.
Dancing is beautiful and innocent
amusement, but when dance as the
racquet" is evolved out of the waltz,
then it ceases to be beautiful or inno-
cent. Very few couples dance the
racquet" at Saratoga. Most of the
proprieties are observed here. Fast
and loud people are eschewed.
Saratoga has refining influences.
