Sketch Of HIS life.

Alexander H., present emperor of Russia,
surnamed Nicholaewitch, las the eldest of the
late Emperor Nicholas, was born in 1918. His
mother was sister Of Frederick William ",
king Of Prussia. He succeeded his father in
March, 1855, and Immediately issued procla-
nation intimating resolution to pursue the
plans Of Nicholas, and, if possible, bring the
war, which was then raging in the Crimea,
between the united forces of Turkey, France,
England, and Sardinia. and that of his own
dominion, to a successful termination. In
this, however, he was doomed to disappoint-
ment, for on September 8, 1855, the allies
obtained possession of Sebastopol, and peace
was concluded the same year.
The later years of the regin of Alexa nder
II. have been disturbed by the war with Tur-
key, which was limited in its Accomplishments
by the interference of the European powers,
and by the plots of disaffected subjects who
are known as Nihilists. The Nihilists have
responded to the arbitrary measures of re-
preston employed against them by threats
and assaults directed first at the persons of the
executive officers of the government. a few
years ago it was widely annnonced that the
revolutionary organization W. uld thenceforth
hold the car himself responsible for oppres.

mines attempted to put non-,nion men at work,

had been reinforced by the arrival Of over 200
union men from Austin. A conflict between the
contending forces occurred, during which two
men were killed and several others on both
sides were injured. The owners afterward put

Miss, was fired, and with its entire contents
was consumed. The building contained the
indictments and all other papers connected
with the trial of Judge Chisolm's murderers,
