THE CZAR OF RUSSIA.

Ruler Of > Mighty Empire. Living More
Like . Monk Than . Monarch.
Alexander Ill, of Russia, by reason
Of his absolute power, his autocratic
sway, the immensity, the diversity and
the strange condition OF affairs pre-
vailing in his empire, is tho most re.
markable among all the imperial rulers
Of Europe.
His armies embrace q million and q
half Of trained warriors skilled in the
profession Of arms; his imperial stan
dard, with its double-neaded eagle,
flies from the mainmasts Of formidable
men-of-war in all parts Of the globe;
his vast empire. including many vary
ing dialects and races. overflows the
confines Of Europe and streches onward
intos Asia, where, like some giant octo.
pus, it is growing, ever growing. His

strove to secure for her that position in
the only way in which it was now
possible.
Nicholas's injunction was not un-
accompanied with embarrassment to
Alexander. In the fiist place, the
Princess Dagmar did not seem willing
Or able to forget her dead lover, and
furthermore Alexander himself, al
though not actually betrothed, was
away up above his royal ears in love
with young lady of the Russian court.
As he was now heir to the throne, he
could only marry q lady Of royal blood,
and he seemed far less pleased with the
new position to which he had sue
cecded than breaking off Of his love
affair.
He and the Princess Dagmar did not
at first make much progress as lovers.
It seemed for time in fact, AS IL the
Princess would devote herself to the
life of recluse. She went into re-
tirement for three years. At the end
Of that period, however, she began to
appear somewhat more in public; she
and the Czarovitch, as the heir to the
Russian throne is called, were once
more thrown together. She, like all
the daughters Of the House Of Dem
mark, was a remarkably handsome
girl. Alexander began to fall in love
with her. He remembered, it would
seem, his dead brother Injunction and,
after . somewhat persistent courtship
on his part the two were married.
This union has turned out q singular
II happy one. The Princess has been
a devoted wife and Alexander model
husband. The Czarina is tall, shapely
and OF markedly winsOme and ladylike
manners. She bears striking resem-
blance to her elder sister, the Princess
of Wales. Like her, she has the
hereditary scar on the neck, and al
ways wears either string OF pearls or
broad ribbon to conceal it.
They have four beautiful children
The eldest, Nicholas. seventeen years
old. bears striking resemblance, both
in physique and disposition, to his dead
uncle OF that name. That is, he is Of
quiet. studious temperament, and of
atfable manners. The second son.
George, fourteen years old. is more like
his father and is of somewhat obstinate
capricious. quick-tempered disposition.
The two other children, who are much
younger, are named Zenia and Michael.
Owing to the activity OF the Nihilists
the Car and his family may be said to
live somewhat retired life. The
Cars place of residence nssSt. Peters,
burg is known as til Winter Palace,
an immense and sombre structure sur
rounded by wide spaces and great
lengths Of public buildings.
At all seasons and at all hours this
immense palace is alive with soldiers.
The courtyards are full of them. Ev-
cry corridor and every door seems to
have its sentinel. This is, of course, to
guard against NihiIistic Vaccinations
and plots, but the Cars sense of securi-
ty can never be complete, in view Of
the awful possibility that there is no

But Alexander Alexandroyitch is not
heir to the Russian throne. He was the
second son to the late Car, Alexander
H.. having an elder brother whose name
was Nicholas. Nicholas. however, died
soon after he had passed his twentieth
year, leaving Alexander the imperial
heir. To Nicholas's death there is con.
nected story full of pathetic incident,
full of romantic interest.
Nicholas was engaged to Maria Dag
mar, the beautiful daughter of the
King Of Denmark and sister Of the
Princess OF Wales. The young couple
loved each other with spOntaneity
and ardOr seldom to be found in royal
circles. In \ word, their protected
marriage was no mere affaire de con.
venance. contracted because both
parties were Of royal blood, but dc.
cided love match.
But sickness came upon Nicholas,
and while travelling in the balmy
climate Of tho Riviera for his health, be
fonnd himself on his death-Ded al
Nice. His betrothed and his brother
Alexander were sent for in great haste
and reached his bedside shortly before
he expired. Placing the Princess /
hand in that of Alexander, Nicholas's I
last request was that his brother should
marry his betrothed.
The request seemed hardly natural,
but the elder brother probably remem.
bered that his betrothed was not with.
out ambition, that she had calculated
upon the position which she would one
day occupy as Czarina Of all the
Russias, and in his unseltish love be

But all these are not match for the
hatred Of his adversaries, and in his

ing the benediction, which concluded the
ceremony. Though the White House was
closed to all outside this circle, 1t was
brilliant with light throughout, and 30
transpired this notable marriage ceremony,
and the White House received its new
mistress.
Mrs. Folsom, though showing deep emo
tion, was the first to tender congratula-
tions, being Immediately followed by Rev.
Mr.. Cleveland and the others present, dur
ing which the band performed the bridal
chorus and March from sLohengrin."
Immediately following this, the President
led his bride to the East room, and in
few moments they entered . carriage from
the rear OF the mansion, and at nine p. m.
took special train on the Baltimore and
Ohio road for Deer Park, Md, for the hon:
eymoon.
Miss Folsom's wedding costume has been
most happily characterized as .poem in
ivory satin," charmingly becoming to her
tall, commanding figure, well formed fea
lures, large and lively blue eyes, brown
hair medium shade, and very long e1-d
heavy dark eyelashes. The skirt and cor
sage were simple, but their simplicity was
relieved by q wealth OF soft silk and India
muslin, embroidered with orange blossoms
attached to the left side Of the skirt and
nearly meeting the court train, which was
over four yards in length. The train was
slightly rounded and fell in two organ
pleats. Two delicate muslin scarfs, bord-
ed with orange blossoms, were dainty
draped across the front OF the corsage. and
crossing the corssge from left to right was
q centure Of satin festooned to the hip. The
sleeves, which left the wrist and
arms bare almost to the elbows, had three
hands Of Indian muslin draped on them
forming pilsser, while inside the arms,
near the elbows, the sleeves were adorned
with tiny sprigs OF orange blossoms The
bridal veil was nearly seven yards long,
composed Of white silk tulle, relieved by
myrtle aud orange blossoms. It was worn
high upon the head, and fell gracefully
over the train completely covering it.
Throughout the whole ordeal the manner
Of Miss Folsom was extremely lady-like
and self-possessed, and her voice partic-
ularly pleasant and cordial, and her whole
bearing genial and encouraging.
