from Russian museums nom the imperial palaces OF
the Gar from the private collections OF many noble
men OF his Court. In 1880 application was made
officially but at tho instance OF English gentlemen who
were thoroughly verscd In this subject to the Russian
resident In London TO secure for the South
KensingtOn Museum copies OF the numerous fine exam
pies OF English plate Understood TO be contained In the
imperial collections The Emperor OF Russia when the
request brought TO his notice gave orders that he

tlves and employees OF this Kensngton Museum
SO much that was unexpected aud valuable was
discovered by them IN their work that
they awaited themselves fully OF the Cars lberalty
and casts were made not only Of English, German

articles discovered at Kerch In the Imperial Hermitage

Sufficient was known to convince the authorities OF
the South Kensington Museum that they had made a

materially lessened for both institutiops The latter
gladly assented and the Cincinnati Art Museum joined

biters. through the specified
sreets. Unfortunately, it was
market day, and he was directed
to go over to the market-place.
| He had hardly proceeded three
yards when oaths and curses Of
every description were heard on
all sides, and. indeed, they were
not uttered without provocation,
for the awkward coachman threw
over here basket OF fruit, there,
one full OF butter, sometimes ran
over ducks, other times fowls and
pigeons, here cabbages and greens,
there carrots and potatoes. There
were shouts aud screams among
the owners OF them, quacking
among the ducks and geese, and
| if vegetables had voices, these un-
fortunate plants would not have
remained silent.
This disastrous drive immed-
lately showed that F. wanted
to deceive the police Office. At
length, woaried and exhausted,
he confessed that the bear of be-
ing obliged TO remain in Mayence
had determined TO make himself
guilty of this innocent falsehood;
that he was u lawyer in c.,
and that some error must have
taken place in the post Office.
With this declaration, however,
my unfortunate travelling compan-
ion was not released. Tie magis-
trate whom this deception had
rendered suspicious, deemed it
prudent to ascertain the truth Of
the latter affirmation, and calling
another lawyer, he begged him
to prove whether this young gen.
tleman was really what be pro
fessed to be.
The lawyer, who considered
this commission q great honor,
hastened 10 fetch quantity of
legal documents, and desired
F. to make a little liquidation
there. only to sec. They were.
however, the most difficult and
the most intricate in the whole
Office, at which he himself had
worked three months without il
the least comprehending them.
F. persued them through
out, aud begged to be allowed to
work twenty -four hours.
On the following evening the
liquidation was ready, and being
pre- eminently performed, showed
F. to be both an able and
skiIlful lawyer. The other was
astonished, yet charmed and de-
lighted, for be regarded it as a |
MASTER piece.
He entered into conversation
with his pupil, who informed him |
who be was, whence he came,
and at what ofiice he was EN-
ployed; mentioned numerous per-
sons and families of bis acquaint- |
ance. some OF which were known |
to the lawyer, and some to the |
magistrate, to whose wife they |
discovered be was related. He
was introduced to her and her
daughter, and they begged him |
TO spend Q day with them. In |
the meantime / continued my |
journey. One lovely day in June |
I met my friend in Heidelberg. |
He told bis story from beginning |
to end. the conclusion OF which
was that be had married the |
daughter Of the magistrate in |
Mayence, and is at present q law
yer-I do not know where. Thus
the accident Of the coaohman had |
procured him a wife.
