SENT TO oil !.

In his 10th year he went to Ger
many, and spent three yeas at the
University of Berlin study ng German
literature and Hegelian philosophy.
On his return to Russia he had the au-
dacity to w..te a euloe site obitue' ! of
the poet Gagal, who had died miser-
ably in exile because he had by his
Independent spirit offended the Gar.
The result was his arrest and sentence
of exile to Siberia. The Czarevitch
Alexander was, however, of the opinion
that the sentence was too severe (most
C.arevitches profess certain liberalism
before they are called to the throne) .,
and the sentence was, at his request,
committed to confinement under po-
lice super vision, upon certain estate
belonging to the offender. For two
years Tourgueneff was accordingly de-
pendent for society and amusement
upon his serfs aud few landed pro
prietors in the neighborhood. He
now became a passionate sportsman
and roamed with gun and rod over the
vast steppes, quite regardless of the
Imperial prohibition. If, as sometimes
happened, he was surprised by the
spies who had been appointed to watch
him, he begged most politely to be al
lowed to see his credentials. A soiled
and greasy paper was handed to him,
which he pretended to examine care
fully, and in handing t back he never
forgot to wrap up fve-rouble piece
in it. The official then would bow
with the most obsequious smile and
betake himself away, but next week he
would be back again and the same
farce would be repeated.

"The trouble with us Russians"
said Tourgueneff on one occasion, as
| was sitting smoking with him in his
library, ''is that we have the Tartar so
close behind US. We are a semi-bar-
barous people, just civilized enough to
have acquired the vices of civilization.
We put Partisan kid gloves upon our
hands, instead of washing them. We
bow and scrape and utter polite phrases
in one moment, then go home and
thrash our servants. We like to de-
claim about the future of Russia, about
her vast undeveloped strength and her
manifest destiny to gobble up the rest
of Europe; and this patriotic intoxica-
,;on makes us blind and deaf to the
horrible abuses of the present."
have often had occasion to recall
this conversation of late yeas, when
Russia has taken steps to fulfill her
manifest destiny" and it seemed to
furnish the clew to much that has
seemed mysterious in Russian diplo-
macy. Of course Tourgueneff, though
he loved his country, had no reason to
love its rulers, and he rarely spoke of
the Romanofs except with bitterness
and contempt. The late Gar, Alex
ander II, he regarded as fair type of
the tamily-an unscrupulous libertine,
externally amiable and polished, but at
heart relentless tyrant. The Care
witch, who has since succeeded him,
he regarded as, on the whole, better
man than his father, though in point of
intellect his inferior. He has just char
acter enough 10 be stubborn, but not
enough to be firm. His zeal for re-
form would, when he became Emperor,
blow over in day. No reformer of
the family of Romanoff would ever sit
upon the throne of Russia. The En-
peror leans upon the army and the
Official bureaucracy, and the mere in
stinct of self-presel yation would incline
him to wink at the corruption which in
these classes is predominant. To steal
from the state is not held to be a
serious offense, and if detected 1t is
not punished if the offender happens
to be loyal and useful to other and
more powerful offenders. There was
great exultation in Russia drting the
Crimean war, because some English
contractors had committed fraud in
furnishing amy supplies, and some En-
glish officer was also implicated.

AYERS

No other complaints are so insidious in their
attack as those affecting the throat and lungs:
none so trified with by the majority of suffer-

perhaps from trifing or unconscious ex-
posure, is often but the beginning of fatal
sickness. AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL has
well proven its efficacy in forty years fight
with throat and lung diseases, and should be
taken in all cases without delay.

faculty of reporting faithfully what he
