Tho Gar and the Camera,

The Car of Russia has for some twelve
months past been an ardent amateur photOg-
rapner, and curious incident has arisen out
of his fondness for the camera. Wishing to
get some points regarding dry plates, when
last IN MOSCOW, he paid a visit by arrangement
to Levitsky's, the court photographer, and on
leaving the studio he chancedto meet on the
stairs what seemed to be q tai lady dressed
In the height of fashion. But this tall lady
was, IN reality, q young sub-Lieutenant IN
the Russian guards, Alexis Pietnef by name,
who, IN fulfillment of a wager he had lost
with q pretty cousin had gone to
Levltsky US TO be photographed IN feminine
attire At the sight OF the Gar the young
ofhcer quite lost his presence of mind,
ana, instead of courtesyng and passing on. he
drew himself up as on parade. and gave the
military salute in regulation fashion. The
Emperor, naturally surprised, asked for an
explanation. and, when the young officer had
confessed, bade HIM get himself photographed
and then report himself, just as he was to
the COloRel of his regiment. This Sub-Ideu-
tenant Pletneff duly did, and as he found the
Colonel writing a letter he sat down and
waited. The C0lonellOOking up, however, in
the course of few minutes, ana seeing what
appeared ike handsome woman, began to
Apologize, while Pletnef as eagerly tried to
explain his ridiculous situation. When the
Colonel, rigid discipinarian, grasped the
truth, he was so upset that he nearly choked,
and the young officer, rushing to
his assistance, commenced to unbut-
ton his mlllJary stock. But at this
moment the Colonel's wife chanced to enter
and, seeing her husbandin the arms Of a lady.
was so scandalized that she rushed on the old
gentleman, and, dragging him away, apostro-
phiZed the Iuckless sub-lieutenant as "a
shameless MINK and the like, 1t was some
time before third confession so far cleared
/ up matters as to satisfy the Col0neps wife.
The end of the amusing complication IS not
very tragic. The Car, having heard the
whole of the story from Pletnefss Colonel or
dered that the latter should be let off with two
days arrest, on condition that he handed to
his majesty copy OF the photograph. the TAX
ing of which had led to such a catalogue of
misunderstapdings.

The Manhattan Congregational Association

came about that there we're constant appeals
to the best memory in the company to keep
the breeze going. DIR. Mcleod had already
told about the tramp who. failing to obtain
nutriment at the house of q wealthy lady,
went on all fours Oh the lawn and began eat

thing, and she asked him why ne did It, He re-
piled that he had been living on it for three
days. She said ~ never give anything to those
who apply for il, but your case is remarkable.
Jane, you may take him around to the back
yard; the grass is longer there" Then he
related the anecdOte of the country parson
whose congregation gave HIM an alleged
horse. When the parson drove over to visit
his father. the old gentleman asked him what
it was? He said it was horse; not nice
horse. but horse; as good horse as his
master rode into Jerusalem. After a further
study of the architecture of the animal, the
old man said: Yes, l guess it's the same

There is a healthy and ever increasing

but much still remains 10 be accom-

A Story About Evarts.
From the OEegeEaaad Leader.

OtebctftIed GeOCIeTs
heard funny story about Senator Evarts
to-day. It related to an occurrence which
happenedwhen he was Secretary of State un-
der Hsyes. and II was told me by one of Mr.,
.EyartY in innate friends. EVarts, you know,
is one of the best Hyers 4n the. country. He
likes terrapin, and he'cau tel you to the year
the age of old wine or fine brandy. He spends
thousands OF dollars Upon the stom achs Of
himself and his friends, and nevertheless ne
seems TO have no more flesh than a 5carecrow,
and his skin hangs in wrinkles over the bones
Of his anatomy. The scene was the Cooper
Institute. New York. The time was that of a
great public meeting at which William NJ d.
Egarts-he was then Secretary-w to be
among the speakers. A long, lank Vermonter
very anxious to see Mr. Evarts, whom he
spoke of as E-varts, prOnouncing the L long
and drawling 10 out with YANKEE Jwang as
he did so. He kept asking il E. warts had ar
rived, and every time new man came upon
the platform he wanted TO know il that4was
E-varts. At last the great Secretary of State
sham bled up to the rostrum ana the man w as
notified that there at last was Mr.. Evarts He
looked at him for a full moment and then
turned around with surprise written all over
his countenance:
"And is that E-varts?"
He was told that II was.
"Nor William Nj E-varts?"
"The same"
"Well, swan" concluded the man, with a
look OF mingled astonishment and disgust
"He looks as though he boarded"
lt is said that Secretary Evarts tells this
story sometimes upon mself, and that ne
laughs heartily as he does 30,

The Monticello Fla people have not
abandoned the projected railroad TO con-
meet their town with the Savannah,
Florida and Western railway. In fact
they are much more in earnest with re-
gard 10 it now than ever before. The
Monticello Constitution says that that
town is now in a condition to build a rail-
road to either Quitman, Dixie or Thomas
vile.
Monticello thinks it will be to her inter-
est 20 connect with the Savannah, Florida
and Western at Thomasvilie, but expects
that the point of connection will be de-
termined by the amount each OF the towns
mentioned Is willing to give to aid the en-
terprise--the one giving the most being
the one most likely to be made the termi-
nal point.
OF course ifthis road is built it will soon
be extended to Tallahassee.
WHAT'S wanted more than anything
else 10 secure road connecting Monu.
cello and Tallahassee with Thomasville

doubt that the projected road would pay
a handsome return on the money invested

with the intention OF making it a success.
Thus far there has been too much talk
and too little work. Those who have been
and are still working in behalf of the road

vannah, Florida and Western railway
Will render it. II will require a certain
amount OF cash to begin the enterprise.
