the %imputation Of yielding to. fear.
The Emperor was further Influenced
in the same direction by the condition
Of his own Court, and the attitude
lately assumed by Loris Melikof, for
the ex-Dictator is now regarded by
the Government party as a Red"
and he, and those who think with him,
are watched with as much jealousy,
and their correspondence read with as
much avidity as if they were dan
gerous RevoIutionists. SO great, in
deed, is the ignorance of the Minis
ters, that they look upon Loris Me-
likoff as being not only the right
hand of the Liberal party, but an &C
complete Of the very Terrorists whom,
when in power, he did his best to
destroy. His popularity dates from
his fall, and the Government fear as
much as they hate him. OF this po-
pularity the Emperor is growing jea-
lous, and he has conceived the idea
that by granting a Constitution he
may win some Of it for himself, and
so counteract the Revolutionary pro-
iects which are attributed to Melikoff
and his followers. The Chiefs of the
party held lately a meeting in a TO-
reign city to decide as to the course
which, in the altered circumstances,
they should adopt. At this meeting
were present the ex-Mlnister Abaza
and the Countess N. called at
Court la Grande Faiseuse," a lady
deeply skilled in political intrigue
and management. The meeting was
strictly private, and the result Of its
deliberations has not been allowed to
leak out but it is clearly the interest
Of the Melikoff party to confirm the
Gar in his liberal designs. 10 do
otherwise, would be to play into the
hands Of their bitter enemies Of the
Government Cabal.
Be that as it may, there can be no
question that Alexander returned
from Copenhagen fully resolved to
follow the advice of his Danish reIa-
tives, and that he ordered the Minis
ter of the Interior to prepare a project
of Reform. The old Conservative,
as may easily be supposed, received
the announcement of his masters
will and pleasure with sore discomfort,
a feeling in which his friends and sup
pOrters, PObedOnOstZeff and KatOff.
fully participated. Nor did they
neglect to bring into play all the oc-
cult influences at their command to
turn the Gar from his purpose, and
put off the day of reckoning and the
great question now is, to which side
will his Majesty incline? VIII he
persist in his fair resolutions or Weld
once more to the sinister counsels of
his reactionary Ministers 1t is
momentous question, and on its solu-
ton may depend the future Of Russia
and the fate of the RomanoffS. The
following considerations will enable
the reader TO form his own opinion as
to the probable issue of the struggles
and the intrigues of which the Russian
Court is al present the scene.
Since the Cars return to his capt.
tai, events have befallen which can
hardly fail to confirm him in his Lii
beral intentions. The reported ar

news lately published by foreign jour
mails Russian papers are forbidden
under pain Of Immediate suspension,
to make any mention Of these things7
of the arrest at St. Petersburg of seve-

On the mOWI, dying of hunger, and
listening to counsels of despair; on the
instructed classes, the ZemStUo, and
the Press, whose lips drop loyalty,
while their hearts burn with hatred
One fact alone will show how lit
tie to be trusted are The loyal assur-
ances of the Well-to-do and instruct
ed classes. There could be no bet
ter representative of these classes
than Ivan Turgenieff, and the impo-
sing demonstration at his funeral
shows how great was his popularity
with the masses. He always profess
ed Monarchic principles, and when
Katkoff accused him Of sympathising
with Nihilism, he wrote to the MeSS0-
ger de PEmQpe, a paper appearing at
St. Petersburg, protesting his loyalty
to the Czar. Yet it is now known
the fact has been published by Peter
Lavroff, in In JuStjce--that for Sc
veral years before his death Turge-
nieff was a supporter Of the VperjOd,
a Social revolutionary review, con-
Quoted by Lavroff. If he did not
write in its columns, he found money
for its production. Nevertheless, the
great writer remained a Monarch st
to the last; he |countenanced Mill
ism only because he had arrived at the
convictionthat withoutrevoIut.on there
could be no reform. BY treating re-
formers as enemies, the Government
cOmpeIs every Liberal to become
either an active member or a secret
friend OF the party of Revolution.
The Emperor, it is said, was much
moved and greatly discouraged by
Lavrof's revelation, and he can hard
ly help being Influenced il favour Of
Reform by the existence among his
courtiers of so many Constitutional
parties. For it is IA curious and sig
nifcant fact that the Russian Court
swarms with S0idjSant Liberals and
pseudo : Constitutionalists. When
the ship is sinking, the rats desert.
In the first line comes the party of
Loris MeIikoff, whose ideal is repre-
sentative institutions and a limited
monarchy. But how far they are
really prepared to go is uncertain.
At T~urgenieff's funeral, Prince Be
bontoff, a leading member of the
party, laid on the novelist'S coffin a
garland of flowers entwined in a
chain, a proceeding which threw the
Government into a paroxysm of rage,
and was punished by the immediate
exile of the offender to Siberia, The
incident is enough to show the feel
ing that prevails between the Nell
koff party and the party in power.
1t is war to the knife.
At the head of another party is
Count %Shouvaloff, a former chief of
the famous Third Section. His views
are less advanced, and his followers
more powerful. if not more numerous,
than Melikoffs. Their principles are

The Pretty Girls of Kioto.

Dark blue, unrelieved By any variety,
is the ordinary walking dress Of the
ladies, and women in lower stations
adopt the custom, says q writer in the
/ CoTTlsiU Mddazf4te. The southern blood
of the Kiofo ladies revels in colors of
! brighter hue. A peacock is nothing to
a Kioto girl out for the day. A paro-
quet is more closely initiated in respect
of plumage. Bright reds. violets,
green's. and yellows are frequently
seen adjoining the same little person.
Where matronhood suggests greater
sobriety, the average is struck with
the assistance of the baby. Children
are dressed in the most fantastic style,
looking like little cardinals as they
play about the streets In long wadded
robes of many colors. It is notable
that while in the north women and
children carrying infants on their back
wrap them closely up within their
dress, so that nothing but little round
head is visible, the Kioto women, while
obliged to inclose the babe within their
garment, are careful to leave hanging
loosely outside in full view the child's
cloak. A purple cloak picked out with
red and lavishly turned mp with yellow
at the sleeves Is too precious . gift to
be withheld from the enjoyment Of the
public. There are some pretty girls IN
Toxic and Yokohama, and there are
some ugly ones in Kioto. Eight out of
every ten girls met In the streets Of
Koto are good Looking, and i've are
decidedly pretty. They wear their hair
differently from their sisters in the
north, who, for the most part are con-
tent to observe the general local ems
tom of arranging it in chignon at the
back. In Ki0to q young lady takes the
chignon pad, and. instead Of laying it
fat to her head. fixes it at right angles
after which all kinds OF arrangements j
are possible Artificial flowers are
largely used to complete the adorn-
ment Of the Kiot0 bellies hair. In the
north. except On high festive occasions
this Is very rare; girls there are con-
tent with thrnsting 8 pin through the
chignon. The Kioto girl has several
pins. in addition to gayly-colored |
hower. wired so that it may stand an |
inch or two above the topmost fight Of |
her hair.

he kissed her rose-red cheeks, her shy
dewncast eyes, and sweet fresh lips.
He felt amply compensated for all he

but not to die with a broken heart.
Nay, men die, but not for love.

tits said tina, there are 3,s37,112 per.
sons engaged in manufacturing, me-
chanical and mining occupations in the
United States. So say the census re
turns. Moreover, it is claimed that
this number Of persons receive employ
ment only by reason of the protective
tariff; that it duties are reduced mills
ALI. Shops will be closed, manufacturing
and mining operations will cease. and
there will exist no demand or market
for labor.
Let us see. Bakers, carpenters, black
smiths, butchers, clerks and beokkcep.
ers, contractors, painters, brickiaycrs,
tailors and mil!iners are among those
who will be found in almost any town,
and to say that they would be deprived
OF labor is to say that man will not feed
and clothe and shelter himself.
These persons derive 10 advantage
from protection. On the contrary they
are Injured because everything they
use is taxed and this tax comes out Of
their earnings. Fully one-half of tue
three million eight hundred Thousand
persons in this class called
manufacturing receive no benefit
directly or indirectly from protection.
On the contrary, they are injured.
