BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH.

Alexander H., the late Emperor, was born
April II april %, new style), 1918. He was the
eldest son of Emperor Nicholas 1. and of Prin-
cess Charlotte. of Prussia; educated under the
supervision of his father, by General Moerder,
a learned German and the Russian poet JON
kowski; entered the army in 1891; was Colo
mel in the regiment OF grenadiers. -iAs 1875;
finland, IN 1857; was Supe rintendcnt of the
military schools. of the Empire in lSa9;
was appointed to command in the
Caucasian army in 1850; succeeded to
the throne at the death of his father in
1855. and was crowned at Moscow in
1856. In 1871 he married the Empress Maria,
daughter of the Late Grand Duke Ludwig H.,
OF Hesse-Darmstadt. The Gear leaves six
children alexander, who succeeds to the
throne; the Grand Duke Vladimir, the Grand
Duke Alexis, the Grand Duchess Marie, the
Grand Duke Sergius and the Grand Duke
Paul, the last-named being in his twenty-first
year. Their first-born son, Nicholas, died at
Nice, France, 1855 Since the death of the
Empress, in 1880, the Car contracted a NOR.
ganatic marriage with bis. former mistress,
the Princess Dolgorouski. There have been
five previous attempts on the life of the EN-
perOr.
THE NEW GEAR.
Alexander was born March 10, lS45, married
ter of King Christian TX, of Denmark, who
had previously been engaged to his elder
brother. Their eldest child, Nicholas Alexan-
derovitch, was born May 49, 1858. George,
their second son, was born May 10, 1871; their
third child, a daughter, Xenia, was born April
1S. 1875, and their fourth, Michael, was born
December s, 1878.
THE FORMER ATTEMPTS AT ASSASSINATION.
This is the sixth attempt which has been
made upon the Cars life the first having
been made on April l6, 1856, when he was fred
at while entering his carriage at St. Peters
burg. The pistol, however, was turned aside
by Dimitri kOrakOsOw, who was afterward en-
nobled for the act. The second attempt was
made at Paris, June 8, 1867, by Berezowski a
Pole. who fired into the carriage in which the
Gear was seated with his two sons
and the Emperor Napoleon. Both SOW
ereigns escaped unhurt. Another great
shock was given to public feeling
April IA, 1877, when Alexander Solovief at
tempted to shoot the Car in front OF the
house of the military stat in St. Petersburg.
The assassin was arrested. Another attempt
was made December 3, 1879, when mine was
exploded under the railroad with the fnten-
ton OF blowing up the train on which he was
entering Moscow. His Majesty, however, was
not in the train. About seven o'clock on the
evening of the 18th of February, 1880 an ex-
plosi0n occurred in the basement of the I'm.
pcrial Winter Palace, under the principal
guard-room. Owing to an accident the Gar
and the members of the royal family did not
enter at the usual time. The explosion made
a hole in the dining hall fifteen feet long and
twelve feet wide The escape Of the Emperor
was almost miraculous. Eight soldiers sta
toned in the guard-room were killed. The
sixth. the last and successful attempt, is chron
Icled above.

AN OLD, YET GOOD, STORY

,oas,ing his shins when u Senator from
Massachusetts, entered.
Approaching the old froniienman the
latter said
Crockett, large procession OF your

upon the hotel steps, when a large drove

stove. The Mas.achu sets Senator was
still there, and as the iedoub,ab!e Davy
dropped into his chair, asked:
well, did you see your friends :;
"Oh. yes was the response. They
are looking rem a,kably well, too.

Certainly. sir.
And where arc they going in such a
solid body,'
Crockett turned TO the Senator with a
quiet. calm expression, and replied;
The blamed fools are all going down

And then they gazed q moment into
each Others faces and sadly walked up
TO exercise the bsykeeper awhile.

A GENEROUS MAN.

There is nothing so noble and touch
ing as a really spontaneous act of sener-
osity, after all. The other day q rough
looking stranger was walking up Mission
street near Sixth, when be observed lot oil
hooilums clustered round the gate of a
small frame house, Ia. front of which a
woman was weeping bitterly, surrounded
by her terrified children. a Scanty ar
ray of household goods on the pavement
showed that i, was a case OF ejectment.
What are you abusing that woman for:

ored individual who was carrying out the
furniture.

The evictOr respectfully turned over a

di,ional "V'' on the happy woman, the
stranger walked rapidly away.

THE CARS PALACE.

The winter palace is described as the
largest palace in the world, being ONE
third larger than that Of the Emperor OF
Austria, and unsurpassed in point OF
splendor. II is the residence OF the
Car and his court during the winter, aud
stands on the left bank Of the Neva, on
the site of house which, in the reign OF
Peter the Great, belonged to his high ad.
miral, Count Apraxin, who bequeathed
it to Emperor Peter II. II was SO COM
pletely destroyed by fire in 1887 that 1t
was necessary to rebuild it, and one Oh
the not least remarkable facts connected
with it is that its present form was the
work of two short years.
A queer story is told of this palace
which may be given as illustrating the
great extent of the palace, and the pos
sibili,ies of mischief it affords. In the
time Of Nicholas, the grandfather OF the
present Gar, number of sentries were
posted on the roof to guard against hire
or foes. Finding the climate up there
not altogether so comfortable as could be
wished, this permanent watch at length
conveyed to the roof the materials for a
number of huts or cabins, which In
course of time they erected under the
shelter of the chimney stacks. So snug
and cosey did they manage to make
themselves that it at length occurred 10
the married men among them that, as
there was plenty OF room up there, they
might as well enlarge their establish
ments. Accordingly wives and families,
one after another, found their way out
on the imperial leads. Several OF the
single members of the guard finding such
a tempting opportunity of setting up
housekeeping economically, took wives TO
themselves, and after q while quite a
considerable colony had sprung up.
How far the development might have
gone on if the individuals composing this
little village had been reasonably cautious
and careful in their behavior, i, is diff
cult TO guess; but the establishment OF
families among the chimneys Of the pal
ace led gradually to the accumulation Of
domestic animals. Fowls multiplied
amazingly and goats became numerous
and fourished so well in the bracing at
mosphere that a, length 1t was suggested
that COW might conveniently DC admit
ted TO the farm stock. How the animal
was elevated we are not informed, but
it is stated as a fac; that il was by some
means hois,ed to the roof, and eventually
the ruin Of the community. The lowing
of the COW came to certain official ears,
and led to an investigation and the total
breaking up Of the queer little society.
