Sketch OF the Heir to the Throne OF
Russia.


By fss the most prominent of the inn
portsnt of the imperial family after the
Car is his son Alexander Alexandra
witch. The eyes of all of bis country
men are upon him. He is regarded by
many as Russia's last hope. Thirty.
five years have passed over his head,
but he looks much older. he is not
handsome man. His face is decidedly
Calmuck in type. He ie growing bald
on the temples and back of the head,
like the Prince of Wales and many
other royal princes OF Europe. He has
a heavy square forehead, q short, fiat
nose, Mephistophelian mouth and a
muddy complexion. The expression OF
his countenance is curious mixture of
good nature and harshness. His face,
general demeanor and character present
a marked contrast to the noble form
and stately presence of his father. AL
most all the Romanoffs have preferred
tie military to civil attire. The hered-
itary Grand Duke hates un,form. and
rarely wears one. He prefers driving
to riding, solitude to company. the sght
of worklngmen to that of courtiers and
plain speech instead OF diplomatic hy-
pocrisy. He has the peculiar habit OF
silently sucking the head of silver
mounted care, which he seldom tails to
carry. He 10 rather stout, and breads

General sorrow followed his death.
The Russian people erected temple ia
their hearts to his memory, and greeted
the ukase which declared Alexander
Alexandrovitch his successor 20 the
title OF Czarowitz with clear tokens Of

NOT DEFINED TO SIT ON THE THRONE,
His education was exclusively military.
It was serious obstacle to his becom-
ing good sovereign. He had no scien-
tific instruction, and no knowledge OF
foreign languages except French. OF
politics and sociology he knew next to
nothing. He was inclined to a life of
pleasure rather than one of labor. To
acquire the necessary qualifications for
his new callingwas serious task. He
had hardly time for it. lie was TO en-
ter at once upon the duties of Q Crown
Prince He had seat in the Council
of State. He was forced to take an
interest in executive affairs aud in ques-
tions of public policy, and to show by
deeds and words that he was endowed
with as much judgment as his lamented
brother. Though not always equal 20
the occasion, his wisdom surpassed all
expectations, and he can to-day boast
of being the only Prince of his house
who commands the respect of all par
ties and the love of the people. His-
tory occasionally repeats itself. As
Alexander II, when simple Czarowi,z,
professed more liberal opinions than his
father, 50 does Alexander Alexandra
witch entertain views far more in keep
ing with the progress of our age than
those of the reigning Emperor. As the
latter fought for more liberal policy
against Nicholas, SO has the present
Czarowitz always advocated the adop-
| ton OF measures that would further the
liberties OF his tellow-citizens. He has
occasionally sided so openly with the
revolutionists as to be suspected of an
affiliation with their secret societies.
Alexandrovitch inherited even his wife
from his brother. Maria Sophia Fred
erika Dagmar, Princess of Denmark.

before his death. With his parents she
stood at his deatb-bed. She promised
him that she would become his brother .
bride. Her noble character and beauty
kindled the flame of love in Alexander's
heart. This love, born of and Burtured
in grief, has proved strong and true.

It is said the Chinese in Chile have caught
the war spirit, and are enlisting in the

ally to the war fund. If these enlistments

character. 1t is much more reasonable to
suppose that little coercion underlies this
