Rnssia's Wicked Cxar.
\. '. Times.

M lE
 After two or three years of rumor and gossip, most of which has got into print, about the Czar Alexander's liaison with n young and beautiful lady of the Rus sian Courts, she is now said to be the Princess Dolgorouky. There seems to be no rational doubt of the truth of the report, and that from the unhappy con nection has sprung at least one child, q son, whom the Car has been anxious to rear in his own family as one of his le- gitinate uff spring. Naturally, this has made great discord in the Imperial household. causing the Czarina to quite the country, it is said on the plea ef ill- health, and the CZareyitch to absent himself from court. Even more than this. the influence of Alexauder's mis- tress is declared to be so hostile to all political reforms in the Empire that he has kept locked up in his private cabi- net the liberal Constitution which 1t was thought he would promulgate last au- tumn. The Car is, according to all ac- counts, absolutely enthralled by the Princess, whom he wanted 10 marry alter procuring divorce from his legal wife; and he would have taken this rash step had it not demanded his abdication, As Alexander is near 62, 1t might be sup posed that he would be beyond the time If there be any such time-when men make fools of themselves about women. His folly IS, under the circumstances really criminal, for it involves the gravest political consequences and affects the happiness of his millions of subjects. Surely. Russia has troubles enough of her own without any effort of her sover' eian to increase them. Wars pestilence, failuro of crops, enormous debts, wide. spread discontent, the whole rclm yeined with the most formidable conspiracy, the entire fabric of government in jeopardy would seem to have been suficientto oc' cupy the attention of the autocratic ruler and to prevent him from yielding, in old age, to mad passion of which hif

 The Herald insists that thus indirectly we have the best authority for assuming that the hurricanes moving off our coast follow the well-known current of the Atlantic toward Europe. The disturb ances at the Azores are effects of, or off shoots from, the monster cyclones which pursue their normal pathway along par allels little north of these islands, where they are frequently though com paratively feebly felt. The regularity with which they affect the weather at St. Michael's, while within few days travel of European waters, is regarded as lncontrovertible proof that they regu- larly cross the Atlantic, and impinge upon or assail the European coasts.
 Since so much has been discovered, the ban of ignorance removed that ex- lsted in Scriptural times, and though the wind bloweth were 1t hsteth, we know whence it cometh and whither it goeth, it would certainly seem that, with our ample means of communication with all parts of the globe, we are only within one short step of that knowledge which would enable the mariner to avoid the storm and keep his vessel where the skies are comparatively fair and the wat CTS smooth,

RUssEILyIE POPE COUNTY THURSDAY

without leaving their seats, drop through the slits of the urns one or the other of their tickets. A great deal of voting is
 done by proxy on ordinary divisions that IS to say, that member who cannot attend begs another to vote for him; or sometimes q member will take it upon
 himself to vote for an absent friend with out the latter's cons51.1t. To prevent this abuse on greet party divisions, vote par dppei nominal is often asked for. Then the boxes arc placed on the ledge of the tribune, and the members go up one by one to vote as their names are called. The counting of the vote Is al- ways effected in public by the secreta- ries, and the results are announced by the President. If no division has been called for the five members signing written request to that effect, the voting is merely done par dssis ct ieper, that Is to say, that on being bidden by the Presi- dent the yeas stand up, while the nays remain seated. Obstructionists would not have much chance against such system as this, for division pdr dssis et ieper can be taken in q second, and if 1t was sought to impede business by re- peated demands for ballots, the Presi dent would say drily that matter once disposed of cannot be reopened. The President is not only the moderator of the debates, he is really the ruler of the House, having extensive powers for the maintenance of the order and the right to intlict disciplinary punishments on his own priyy motion. He may go so far as to suspend refractory member for three days, or he may ccnsure him and oblige him to pay the cost of having copy of this censure plaearded in the S6,000 com munes In France-no slight fine,

The Smells of Glasgow.
Saturday Review.


 Among the smells for which the city of Glasgow Is justly famous, and which certainly exceed in number and pun. gency the stenches of Cologne, one may, or lately might, be described ss all-per. iading. It is singularly warm, sweet ish smell, which follows you everywhere, and which Is particularly pleasant when. ever west wind Is blowing. In this smell, as in a pleasing and connexions environment, the other minor and local odors have their being. The natives say that the swedish, siclily stench &C., companies some yapor which has the power of blaekening silver, and this statement we can readily believe. The fragrance in question is scattered abroad, as out of a censer, from mighty chim- ney which, Hike some tall bully lifts its head" and Is offensive. The chimney belongs to the St. Rollox Chemical Works, and the smell, for all we know, may be that of diamonds in the making, for in St. Rollox MT. Maclear has possi- bly, succeeded in making artificial dia- monds! Whether the result is quite worth the misery which the St. Rollox chimney infiicts, or at least used to in fiict, on the human nose, is q question best settled by persons who live within ten miles radius of Glasgow. It would be great thing for the Glasgow bud dies" to claim for their town priority m this art But greatness is not achieved without suffering, and the possibly "bas- tard diamonds,p as. Pliny calls them, have been won at much expense of nox- ious, or at least nasty, yapors.

Celiuloid.

Celluloid is one of the most remarlla- ble of modern inventions, and bids fair to be not less extensively and variously used than vulcanlzed rubber. It is pro duced by mixing gum camphor with q pulp of gun-cotton, and subjecting the combination to high degree of pressure and heat. The result is q hard product ofextraordinary toughness and elasticity. It can be made plastic again and molded into any required form. Any color can be given to it by the use of coloring mat der during the process of manufacture, The uses to which ceiluloid is put are numerous and are constantly increasing. It is extensively used as substitute for ivory, which it resembles so closely that it is sometimes difficult to detect the difference. It is said to equal ivory in strength and elasticity, and not to warp or discoler with time. It has proved a billiard balls, backs of brushes, looking glass frames, handles for knives, forks, umbrellas and many other articles. lt is much cheaper than ivory, and Is much better for decorative purposes. It is also used with much success to initiate tortoise-shell, malachite, amber, pink coral. ana Olner costly materials. ln lln- itation of tertoise-shell, it is made into combs, napkin rings, mateh-boxes, card cases, etc. limitations of pink coral jew elry are made and sold at prices much below those of the genuine. The same is true of limitations of malachite and ambor. Mouth-pieces for pipes, cigar holders, etc, are common. It is also used as substitute for porcelain in mak- ing dolls heads. The frames of eye glasses, opera-glasses and spectacles are made of it. More recently it has come into use in combination win linen, cot ton or paper for shirt bosoms, cuffs and collars. The material has a hard, glis- tening surface, like that of newly laun- dried linen; is elastic and impervions to moisture, and when soiled can be reno vated with a moistened sponge.

southern Ice Manufacture.

Few people have correct notion Of the extent to which artificial ice is being manufactured in the South. The success of the process employed has been so marked, that from Florida to Texas the machines are being put in operation at frequent intervals. The actual cost of manufacturing ice on the St. Johns River is said to be but seventy cents 9 ton, including the storage and delivery. Az northern ice used to retail at from ten to fifteen dsllars a ton there, it is plain that a handsome profit remains for the manufacturer after putting his price so low as to drive all natural competition from the market. One ot the Arctic" machines, in which ammonia is used to do the freezing, turns out ten tons of ice daily, in the form of blocks about two and half feet long and ten inches in thickness. The congelation is perfect, and many are said to prepare Ice thus made to that formed in the laboratory of nature.

youngest son should be ashamed. We wonder here at the daring desperation and immense force of the Nihilists; but they are encouraged and strengthened by the acts, personal and political, of the Czar, whose extraordinary conduct of late years can only be explained by his weakness and selfishness. The almost universal spirit of subordination, of open aggressive enmity to the Government, could hardly have been what it is to-day had not Alexander continually aided fl by a fatuity and obstinacy as inexplica- hle as they are ruinous.

FireIess Locomotives.

For underground railroads and tram ways through cities, the smoke from the furnace of the ordinary locomotives is very objectionable, the old device of fireless locomotives offers obvious ad vantages, and it is being at present re- vived and tested on practical scale. A fireless locomotive is one which depends for it's supply of steam upon store of hot water carried in a suitable reservoir and heated at the commencement of each journey to the temperature which corres- ponds to that of steam of a pressure of two hundred pounds on the square inch, According to recent improvement of M. Leon Franco, the water is not renew ed in the reservoir of the locomotive before starting on each trip, but is simply relocated by injecting steamat high pres sure. M. Francq's locomotives have been for some years at work on the tram way from St. Augustin to Neuilly, at Paris; but more perfect englne of it's kind has recently been introduced on the railroad between Reuil and Marly- le-Roi For this purpose there is a fixed boiler at the intermediate station of Port Marly, and the engine is charged from it every quarter of an hour by means of a flexible pipe. Four engines can be charged this way in an hour. The weight of the train is nineteen tons, and the distance from Rueil to Port Marly Is nearly five miles, so that the longest journey performed by the engine with out replenishment is about ten miles.

Why People arc Poor.

It is stated on very excellent authority
 that "the poor have ye with you always" The remark was true ever since, and
 from appearances always will be. There are those who have no disposition to save; who live from hand to mouth,
 so to speak; who take no thought for to-
 morrow. Having enough for the present
 hour, they are content, and leave the future to take care of itself If property
 were,to be equally divided among the people Monday morning, before Satur. day night the majority would be in des titute circumstances, dead D oke, while the prudent and saving would be on the road to pecuniary independence. One class of people spend whatever money they get hold of as fast as they get it.. while others save means that come into their hands, iudiciously invest the same and become rich. There arc those who not only do not know how to save, but they do not know how to spend. If they get anything, it goes for what they do not need; for articles that could be dispensed with. Those who are desti- tute of the comforts of life, as rule, may blame themselves therefor. If they have anything, they do not take care of it. They buy articles that people in better circumstances would think they could not afford So they are all ways poor. Releave their wants today and they are no better off to-mor ow. They are bound not to save-to have nothing, and are generally bound to be in debt if they can find anybody to trust them. Of course, we understand that people are sometimes unfortunate. They get sick, or those dependent on them be come so. We know that people are overtaken by misfortune; but where there is one case of this kind, there are fifty in which the entire trouble may be found in the indisposi- ton to save.
