THE area of the Russian Empire is
1881 ,Oo4 square miles. The population
including Poles, Firms, Caucasians, and
Asiatics, is S5,6S5,945 The area of Rus
STA proper is 1,SSI,216 miles, and the pop
ulation 65,704,559. No other country in
Europe has as large territory or Us
many inhabitants. The late Gar as-
cended the throne March 2, 1855, after
the battles of Balaklava and Inkerman,
and in the midst of the siege of Sebasto-
pol. His reign was exactly twenty-six
years and eleven days in duration. His
father, Nicholas, reigned thirty years
(1S25-1S55), and his great-uncle, Alexan-
der l., twenty-four years QS01-1S25).
There have been but three Cars of Rus
sia in this century. Alexander III, now
on the throne, was 36 years of age last
week: and will, unless he meets an un-
timely end, live to complete the century
in four generations. The late Car of
Russia who met his death at the hands
of an assassin previous to the late En-
peror was Paul the son of the famous
Catherine Q796-1SOI. Spite of the re-
peated attempts upon the lives of the
rulers of Russia, the average length of
reigns in that Kingdom has been greater
than in most other countries of Europe.

In the schools of Portland, Maine, spe-
cial effort has been made to improve the
ability of pupils to read and write cor.
rectly their own language. From the
lowest classes of the primary schools,
where the children are taught script let
ters, written exercises are imposed daily
throughout the whole course. AS the
study Of technical grammar was found
to be hinderance rather than an aid to
theiacquirement of language the author
tiles have reduced it to narrow limits.
They have attempted to make the cor
rect use of language rather than the anal
ysis of sentences the principal object of
school work, and to substitute practical
illustrations Of the principles of gram
mar in place of abstract rules and detin-
itiOns. To obtain better results from the
reading classes, fresh supplementary
reading has been introduced in the
schools, and with excellent effect. In
their efforts to discourage shams and
cramming, the authorities have abollsed
daily marking in all the schools, ,have re-
duced the written tests one-half, and
have encouraged teachers to determine
the value of their instruction by the
ability of the pupils to master principles
rather than to repeat definitions or solve
puzzles.

CINCINNATI, o., Marcn 16.-The four
teenth annual reunion of the Society Of
the Army of the Tennessee will be held
here April 9th and 7th. 1t Is engaging
much attention on the part of the local
Executive Committee and others en-
gagged in the preparations. Pixies opera
house has been chosen as the place of
meeting, but owing to the evidences of a
very large attendance the committee has
been considering the propriety Of hold

ing feature of the reunion will be the
unveiling of the statue of Gen. McPher-
son, the beloved commander of the Army
of the Tennessee, who was killed July
22d, 1854, before Atlanta. The statue is
by the same artist who made the Eques-
trian statue now in Washington. 1t is to
be placed over the grave Of the General
at Clyde. Ohio.
General Sherman, President of the
Society, will be present, and President
Garfield has been invited. 1t is esti.
mated that fully 400 persons williattend

A TEUToNIC CARGUMENT.-Int the Leg
islature of Ohio, some years ago, there
was warm dispute whether certain
proposed railroad should commence at a
given point DOWN or at certain other
UP the river. "Who ever heard" said a
down-the-river advocate, "of beginning
anything at the top?' Who ever heard
of fbuilding chimney from the top down.
wardp Who ever saw a house begun at
the top?"
Up jumped Dutch member from an
up-the-river county. "Meester Brezi-
dent, de jentlemans zay dat dees beeznes
ees all Won hoomboog, because wee wants
to pegeen our railroat NIT de top ov de

ven dey pegins to built Won veil, do dey
pegins nit de bottom ov de veil, or do
pegins nit de top ov de veil? Veel de

The laughter which explosively fol-
lowed this Teutonic retort showed who,
in the opinion of the legislators, had the
better of the argument.-[E Editors

WINTER WHEAT.
The Prospect of the Crop Throughout
the Country.

CINCINNATI. March 16.-The Price
Current will publish tomorrow an ex-
tended report on the winter wheat crop
embracing reports from nearly four hun
dred points in the Western wheat belt.
The Price Current says: Taking all the
evidence into consideration, with an in
dication of some increase in the acreage,
the crop may now be considered gener-
ally promising, with a prospect for
Weld not much, if any, less than pre-
ceding years. The winter crop in ONO,
the returns indicate in pretty fair con-
ton, and generally favorable outlook
There is more complaint in Indiana,
and the outlook is considerably impaired
and generally less favorable than a year
ago.
nate and with an apparent increase in
acreage, the prospect seems TO laNor Sh
outcome equal to last year.
Missouri and Kansas reports are al
most uniformly favorable, and there IS
an increased acreage.
Tn Nichigan. and the winter wheat
sections of Wisconsin and Iowa. there IS
much uncertainty yet, the prevailing
rendition seeming less favorable than
year ago, excepting perhaps in Iowa;
Kentucky is less favorable and Ten
nessee more promising than year ago.
Unfayorable weather now and IN the
early future may considerably impair
the outlook, but on the other hand, the
favorable conditions of the weather
which new exist if they continue rev
weeks. will do great work in bringing
into promise much OF the now un' rom
ising portions of the crop.

IT takes good deal to satisfy a
Hoosier Democrat Last fall, after the
constitutional amendment changing the
time of the election from October to No
vember was adopted, decision was OBJ
tanned from the Supreme Court revers-
ing the popular will. The consequence
was that the Democrats were shameful
ly beaten at the polls. Again the amend
nent has been submitted to the people
and adopted, and again the Democrats
propose to attack its constitutionality in
the courts. If this sort of thing amuses
them, well and good but it is an expen-
sive luxury, as they will probably dis
cover when the next election is held.

Vernal Faith.

When heaven was stormy, earth was cold,
And sunlight Stunned the void and
wave,
Thought burrowed In the churchyard
mould,
And fed on dreams that haunt the
grave.
But now that heaven is freed from strife.
And earth's full heart with rapture
swells,
Thonght scars through fields of endless
life
Above the shining asphodels.
What flower that drinks the south winds
breath,
What sparkling leaf, what Hebe morn,
But tlouts the sullen gray-beard Death,
Aud laughs our arctic doubts to scorn ?
Pale scientist, scant of healthful blood,
Your CHASTITY tones one moment close /;
Pluck freshness from spring-time bud,
Find wisdom in the opening rose.
Hath many wild-bee swarm enticed,
And drew therefrom honeyed lore
Pure as the tender creed of Christi
Yes, even the weed, which upward holds
Its tiny ear past bower and lawn,
A lOvelier faith than yours unfolds,
Caught from the far faint winds of
dawn.

PERHAPS the spectacle of Mr.. Ben
Hill as whipperin for the Democratic
party will have the effect so much de-
sired by its sages of drawing young men
into that organization. Mr.. Hills record
is of sort calculated to inspire emo
tions more or less violent in the breasts
of young men. He betrayed the Union
men of his State by voting for secession
when he was appointed to vote against
it, literally turning traitor in order to
vote for treason. The place for any
young man who admires that kind of
political morality is undoubtedly in the
Democratic party.-[N. Y. Tribune.

THE Philadelphia North American
says the fact that more than FIVE hun
dred applications for consulships alone
have been laid on the Presidents table,
shows what fascination ofice-hOlding
has on the American mind. To hold Of
flee is to be subject to so many disad-
vantages that it is not easy to under
stand why in country like this, which
is full of opportunities for advancement
in the private walks Of life, the most in
significant positions should be the occa-
sion for eager competition. If people
only knew it they would, in nineteen
cases out of score, do very much better
for themselves by minding their owr
business, instead of trying to help Uncle
Sam to mind his.

ONE of the great secrets of Mr.. Blaine's

ONE of the great secrets of Mr.. Blaine's
popularity is that he has a long memory
for names and deeds. \ gentleman con-
Eected with journalism during the war
was introduced to Mr.. Blaine thirteen
years after he had written an account
of battle in the Far West. He Was
greatly astonished to find Mr.. Blaine
drawing him aside with the remark,
"You are the man l have been wishing
to see for years" and then asking him
Il trivial incident mentioned in the ae-
count as published was strictly true.
The implied doubt conveyed no affront;
the young man was too much flattered by
the fact that Speaker Blaine had remem-
bered him as the author of the story to
feel the slightest insult.
