The Russian Ice Palace,

The idea of the Montreal ice palace
is not q new one. Nearly one hundred
and fifty years ago its prototype was
erected at the whim of the Empres
Aunie, who reigned from 1870 to l74o
One of the noblest, Prince G alitzn. hav-
ing changed his religion, was punished
by being made court page and
bUtfoon. His wife being dead, the EN-
press required him to marry again,
agreeing to defray the expenses of the
wedding herself. The prince, true to bis
character, selected a girl of low birth.
This was i'll the winter Of 1739-4O,
which was one of extraordinary sever.
ity. By her maiesty's command, a
house WAS built of ice. 1t consisted of
two rooms; and all the furniture, even
10 the bedstead, was made of the same
material. Four small clnnons and two
small mortHrs. also of ice, were placed
IN front of the h,use, and were fired
several times without bursting, small
wooden grenades being thrown from
the mortars. On the wedding day pro-
cession was formed, composed of more
than three hundred persons of both
sexes, whom the empress-desirous of
seeing how many different kinds of in
habitants there were in her vast domin-
ions-had caused the governors of the
various provinces to send to St. Peter
burg. The bride and bridegroom were
conspicuously placed in q great iron
cage, on the back of an elephant. OF
the guests (all of whom were dge sed
in the costume of their respective coun-
tries J, some were mounted on camels;
others were in sledges--a man and q
woman in each-irawn by beasts of all
descriptions, as reindeer, oxen, goats,
dogs, hogs, and the like. After passing
before the imperial palace, and march
ing through the principal streets of the
city, the motley csvalcade proceeded to
the Duke of C)urlaud's riding house,
where dinner was served to each after
the manner of cookery in his own coun-
try. The feast over, there was ball,
those from each nation having their
own music and their own sty lie of dane
ing. When the ball was ended, the
newly married pair were conducted to
their palace OF ice, and guards were
stationed at the door to prevent their
going out until morning. The bu,liiug
is SAID to have lasted unipjured, ii that
Geld climate, for several months.

The Mayor of Milwaukee.

HE RECEIVES THREATENING LETTERS.
MILWAUKEE, May 9-Mayo yor Stowell,
who has just issued orders to close
saloons at midnight, and that police
men shall not drink liquor while on
duty, to-day received threatening
letter, in which it was declared that
the saloon keepers had decided to Kill
him, il he interfered. The letter was
signed "H. NJ, the initials of Miller,
of the firm OF Miller & Holiz,
prominent saloon keepers, who
were to day refused license because
he would not promise TO close at mid.
night, and even declared openly his in
tention to violate the order. His friends
say the letter was trick of his enc.
mics to get him into disrepute with the
mayor. The saloon keepers almost all
refuse to obey the order, and trouble is
anticipated.
MILWAUKEE, May 8-With a few ex-
ceptions, every saloon in the city
closed at midnight in pursuance of the
mayors order, and those which dis
obeyed were left unmolested. Appar-
ent mplaint is due to the fact that
the majority have not yet taken out
their annual license. They threaten
TO violate the order as soon as they re-
ceive their license.

LIGRT AFTER SIXTY YEARS.
Sensations of an Old woman when
Her Eyes Were First opened.

Mrs. Harriet Homes, of Philadelphis,
Pa, a 60-year- old colored won an, who
was born blind, and who has just had
her eyesight restored by one of the
physicians of q public hospital, is the
object of much cariosity. The opera
ton consisted in the removal of a cata-
ract from the left eye by what is known
as "Grarbi's method" and awaited with
great interest the arrival of the time
when his subject could be taken into
the light. At last she was removed to
one cf the wards of the hospital which
looked npoD the street, and the bandsge
was removed. The patient started VIC
lently and cried cut, as if with fear, and
for moment was quite nervous from
the effects of the snock. For The first
time in her life che looked upon the
earth. The first thing she noticed was
little flock of sparroRs. In relating
her experie nee to reporter, she said
that she thought they were teacups, al
though, strange to say, u few moments
afterward she readily distinguished a
watch which was shown her. 1t is sup
pos, that this rec gnization was owing
10 the fact that she heard It's tick
ing, and at once associated the two to-
gether.
ut seemed kinder queer" she said to
the reporter, "but / knowea things
patty quick" 1t appears that she was
soon aole to distinguish those object.
which she had been accustomed to
handle, such as a chair, door or a
table. She said that every thing seemed
pretty, and although at first all objects
appeared to her bright and shining like
gold, she soon became accustomed to
colors and can now distinguish them
very well. For long time distant OBJ
Jects appeared so near that she thought
that she could touch them. She begins
to distinguish distances, if not too
great. Owing to her first impression of
distance she was for some tinse afraid to
walk with her eyes open, the ground or
floor appearing a "fur way off, in
strange contrast with her impression of
distant objects. The popular impress
sion that d person born blind VINO is re-
stored to sight imagines that men and
women arc walking on their heads, and
trees look like elephants. was not veri-
fled in her case, although she now even
makes mistakes quite ludicrous, as in
the case of the mistake Of the birds for
teacups.
The blaze from lamp excited the
most lively surprise in her mind. She
had no idea what it was, and when it
was brought near her wanted to pick it
up. When night approached upon the
day when she first used her eyes she
was in fright, fearing that she was
loosing the sight which she had so won
derfully found after sixty years of dark
ness.

Ir is publicly asserted that the suit of
the United States against the Union
Pacific railroad Will not be pushed, as
ii is known that the supreme court as
present constituted is adverse to the
Thurman act and in favor of the rail-
roads. This is startling announce
ment to make to the people. 1t is i'm
portsnt that the masses bestir them
selves in their own behalf when the
mononoliSts have progressed so far to-
ward gaining complete and permanent
control of the government as to have a
msj ,rity OF the judges of the highest
court in tue land at their command.
The people are greater than the court,
II they assert themselves, but they
have shown of late years dangerous
indifference 10 the enoroschments of
the grasping tyrants who own aud op-
crate the gigantic monopolists who
have systematically and unblushingly
robbed and insulted them. The su-
preme court at last is theirs. Congress
they claim whenever it is wanted, and
the money kings have to but combine
and elect one of their tools pres lent
to come into full possession of the gov
eminent. Are the people ready and
willing TO abdicate? If not, they should
exhibit the courage and intelligence oi
citizens worthy of the privilege con.
ferred by a free and enlightened gov
eminent.
