A MAN recently died in New York whose
career illustrates the impersonal character
of journalism in nearly all the large cities.
His name was utterly unknown to the
American public, and yet for sixteen years
was the leading writer of the editorials in
the World and the Herald of New York
some of them the most mastery to be found
anywhere in the American press-for which
somebody else enjoyed all the credit at
tached thereto. The name of Ivory Cham
berlain, his ability, great learning, large
views, and intellectual conscienciousness,
will be remembered only by his journalistic
associates-but this is the fate of hundreds
of patient workers on the great papers.

FARMERS do not regard the heavy SHOWS
of the past winter as detrimental to their
future interests, whatever temporary hard
ships andinconvenience they may have suf-
fered therefrom. It has heretofore been
found that heavy SHOWS in the winter mean
good crops in the summer, and it is certain
that early and deep snow prevented the
frost from reaching so deep as when the
ground was bare during the winter. This
fact may facilitate ploughing and seeding at
as early date as usual, to say the least,
notwithstanding the hard winter, the hard
est in some respects ever experienced in
the northwest.

The Galveston (Texas) Neavs says the
winter weather in Texas has been the most
severe ever experienced even by the Oldest
and most truthful inhabitant, but at no
time was it any more severe than what is
called ''bracing" at the north but the Neacs
goes on to say that the thermometer went
down to twenty degrees below zero-which
would be deemed something more than
"bracing" even in Manitoba. But Texas
has this advantage, that while the cold still
prevails at the north, in the early part of
March, peach and plum trees are blossom
ing, and the sweet music of the mesquite
was heard in every direction.

deep impression upon the mind of this
boy of nearly eight years. whose first dis

revolutionary horrors of that gloomy month,
and particularly by memorable incident
of the December revolution. The inten-
ton of the conspirators was to exterminate
the imperial family, and divide Russia into
petty principalities, after the manner of
Germany. The guards of the palace were
largely involved in the plot, but one Of
them, who was devoted to the young prince
and could not bear to see him killed, made
known the impending danger at the last
moment

ping a cup of tea one evening of that
month, when this conspirator, who was

Finlanders AIKEN from the line, and forming
strong contrast, in their raiment of I'M
tanned skins and tall fur hats, to the bril-
liant crimson and gold uniform of their
predecessors of the morning. Nicholas knew
that they were to be trusted, but resolved
to afford them memorable example of his
confidence. Taking the boy Alexander by
the hand he led him into the courtyard,
where the Finnish battalion was drawn up,
and placed him in their care. The soldier
who first received the Prince deliberately
removed his fur hat, reverently embraced
and kissed his future sovereign, and passed
him to the arms of comrade. Thus the
boy Prince was passed from soldier to SOL
der until the entire battalion had sealed its
loyalty with q fervent kiss. Leaving the
boy in their hands Nicholas then proceeded
to order an attack upon the insurgents, who
were gathered in St. Isaac's square, and
within brief space of time they were
driven flying through the capital, and the
immediate danger was at an end. When
the Car returned to the palace and took the
child from the custody Of the royal Firms
the fate of the Empire was assured.
