The Future Emperor of Russia.

The czarowitz is hardly so tall as his fath- CT was in his best days, but he must be near | ly if not quite, six feet in height, and is re- markabIy deep-chested and broad shouldered with all the appearanceof great strength His 1 lght-gray eyes resemble those of his moth ] CTS relations at Hesse- -Darmstadt more than
 his father, who has the dark-blue eyes (such as the French call blue black) which are to be seen in the pictures of Alexander I. Paul, Peter the Great and several other members of the house of Romanoff. In figure and general style he is also like his uncle, the late grand duke of Hesse- -Darmstadt. The shape of his head, which is above the average size as with most of his family-is rather pe- culiar; one of those only fitted by large hat, which, when worn, appears out of pro- portion to the comparatively small face be- low. A phrenologist would say it was shape
 betokening great energy and strength of will, with 8 talent for mathematics. His forehead is high but the organs of yeneratlon, firm ness and self esteem are most largely devel- oped. This form of head may have been produced, according to the Darwinian theory, by several generations of despotic power, as Alexander II has more of it than is generally seen, though not as much as his son. small mouth with extremely good teeth, which he only shows when he laughs, is the czarowitz's best feature; his hair is auburn, and his complexion very fair. In St. Peters burg he usually appears most correctly at tired in uniform but when enjoying a hoi- day among his wife's relations he may be seen in a very loose washed suit of shepherds plaid, black tie, a white hat, and with neither gloves, ring nor watch. That he has been no carpet-soldier is evident from the marks of frost-bites on the third and fourth fingers of his left hand, and slight scar on his temple where a bullet grazed his head in one of the battles in the Turkish war.
 The czarowitz is very popular in Copen- hagen, where he and the Princess Dagmar, as she is still fondly called by the Danes, walk about the town together in the most unceremonious manner, and are always ready to take their part in any popular enter tainment during the long visits which they periodically pay at her fathers court. It also speaks we'll for him that he is supposed to require no extra amusement there; but to be perfectly happy, leading a simple life with his wife and children, roaming about in the park and spending quiet evenings in the castle. In the summer of 1876 the whole Danish royal family, including the king and queen of Greece, were entertained for SIX weeks at his palaces in St. Petersburg and Czarco-Selo. The prince's study in the Anitchkov palace is small room fitted up with maps and globes and well-flled book cases. in which historical works in all lan- puapes predominate. That he is reader is shown by the pile of newspapers which he collects at the different stations when on railway journey to peruse on the road, and he has taken personal interest in the publica- tion of the state correspondence of Russia. Some years ago he wrote himself to the heirs of La Harpe, who was tutor to the Emperor Alexander I. to ask for the loan of any letters from his great-uncle to La Harpe which might happen to be still in their hands.
