ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 2.-When Prince
William OF Prussia visited the Russian Em-
peror, on the occasion Of the recent imperial
hunt at Brest-Litovsk, the Gar found him
self without Prussah uniform, and the con-
sequence was that messenger had to travel
all the way from this city by special train to
repair the deficiency. The Car discovered
his loss the afternoon before Prince VIII
liam's arrival. Sending word TO his valet TO
have a Prussian uniform in readiness for
the morrow, the man appeared to say that
by his imperial masters orders all uniforms
had been left in this city.
An aide-de-camp was sent for. "a Prus-
sian uniform must be here by O'Clock to-
morrow morning" 1t was then o'clock.
The aide-de-camp despatched two kilograms,
one to the master Of the imperial wardrobe
in this city, and the other to the railway au-
thorities, and about O'Clock a locomotive
set out from this city carrying the messenger
intrusted with the required dress. Fresh
locomotives were in readiness at Dunaberg
and Wilma, and the distance Of $50 kilo-
metres was traversed In thirteen hours,
rate Of 70 kilometres per hour, so that the
uniform was in readiness for the Car at the
time fixed.

The beautiful poem by Ella Wheeler, recited
so charmingy by Stuart Rogers at the recent
entertainment given in Westminster, was pub
lished in the ADVOCATE of February 9th. We
intended to invite special attention to it, but
failed to do so at the time. The poem has
merit enough of its own to attract the atten-
ton of every lover of true versiication, but
the genius of Rogers threw around it an ad-
ditional charm. We trust that none of our
readers overlooked it, as it is a perfect gem
of its kind.
