"Gire as Bread"

An incident which occurred the other day
at the station of the Warsaw railway at
st. Petersburg is stated to have produced
much excitement at the Russian court.
The car was just about to start for the
palace at Gatschina on returning from q
visit to the capital when q number of peas
ants who had collected at the station called
out to him "Sire give US bread; We are
hungry The emperor, deeply moved, at
once summoned Mr.. Bunge, the minister
of finance, and asked him whether the
peasantry are really in such need that they
have not enough to eat. The minister re-
piled that there was great distress in some
of the distsicts of the empire, but that the
balance in the treasury was so small that
it would be impossible to afford any ade-
quate relief oat of the funds at his dis
posal. He added that his position was
rather that of cashier than of minister
as he had no control over the expenditure
of the various departments. Thereupon
the emperor expressed great Indignation
at the real state of affairs having been
concealed from him; and it is said that he
has now finally determined to take up his
residence in St. Petersburg in order to re-
organize completely the present system of
administration.

It is related of Gustave Dore that many
years ago, while on tour in Switzerland,
he lost his passport. Arriving at Lucerne,
he asked to be allowed to speak to the
mayor, to whom he gave his name. "You
say that you are NJ. Gustave Dore," replied
the mayor, sand believe you; but" pro-
ducing a pencil and a piece of paper, 'you
can easily prove it," Dore looked around
him and perceived some women selling
potatoes in the street. With few touches
he cleverly reproduced the homely scene,
and, appending his name to the sketch,
presented it to the mayor. Your pass
port is perfectly in ORDER" remarked the
official, but you must allow me to keep it
as a souvenir, and to offer you in return
one in the ordinary form.

HOnEeUs' Tricks.

The tigers of India are fond of monkey
meat and the monkeys are not fond of be-
ing eaten. They, therefore, match thsir
brains against the tigers cunning and
strength in this way: The monkeys drive
away tigers and leopards by assembling in
all their strength upon the trees beneath
which the tiger is lurking; shaking the
ing down upon and about their would-be
devourer such shower of dry sticks, twigs
and leaves, that the latter is forced, with
an angry growl, to quit his lair and seek
other and quieter quarters. But no peace
is he allowed so long as he remains in the
vicinity.

NOR aud how it originated am at loss to

yesterday Afternoon and thought that he
was in better health than for many months
For the past year he has bsen doing all his
father did for the last ten years of his
life-avoiding active business whenever it
is possible and putting it upon his sons.
He found that the strain of his immense
responsibility was injuring his health.
You can form no idea of the burden of
his immense property. Mr.. Vanderbilt
has not been allowed a moments privacy.
He has been considered by you newspaper
men as much public man as if electsd to
Office by the votes of his fellow citizens.
At all hours of the day or night his door
bell has been held to be public property,
and the least sensational rumor of Wall
street has sent regiment of reporters
after him to ask what he thought about it..
If he was as i'll as he has been represented
I should not wonder at it. Happily he is
not, and it is his hope gradually to with
draw from active life and let his sons, who
are perfectly competent, manage the vast
interests which he controls"

ance of the Boston Ideal Opera company
at the Fifth avenue theater last night and
seemed to enjoy it heartily. He sat with
several friends in one of the boxes, and
joined in the applause at almost every

AUricU[Qr.

writer who has given the subject some
study presents the following as his opin-
ion regarding the ear as indicative of char
acter.
''Largs ears can hear things in general,
and denote broad, comprehensive views
and modes of thoughts, while small ears
hear things in particular, showing dis
position to individualize, often accompa-
MED by love of the minute. Large ears
are usually satisfied with learning the facts
of case, with the general principles in
volved; too strict enumeration of details,
especially all repetition of the more unim-
portant, is wearyssme to them. People
with such ears like generally, and are IS g
general thing well fitted, to conduct large
enterprises, to receive and pay out large
sums; in buying or selling would prefer to
leave a margin rather than reduce the
quantity of any sort to thr exact dimen-
sions of the measure specified, and in Civ
ing would prefer to give with free hand
and without too strict calculation as TO
the exact amount. Small ears, on the con
trary, desire to know the particulars of a
story as well as the main facts; take de-
light often in examining, handling or con-
structing tiny specimens of workmanship,
are disposed to be exact with respect to
inches and ounces in buying or selling, to
the extent at least, of knowing the exact
number over or under the stated measure
given or received. People with such ears
would, in most cases, prefer retail TO
whole sale bushes"
