HOW 4 WEALTHY RUSSIAN DUKE MANAGE
SPEND HIS INCOME.

HOW 4 WEALTHY RUSSIAN DUKE MANAGES TO
SPEND HIS INCOME.
Paris Dispatch to the London Daily Telegraph.
Brilliant novelists and dramatists would I'M
doubtedly find subject worthy of study and
description in the person of the Duke of Mon
delft, an opulent member of the important
Russian colony in Paris. The duke leads a life
which resembles to a certain extent that of one
of those Roman emperors or Oriental poten-
tates described by picturesque historians. He
lives in a splendid hotel in the Avenue du Bots
de Boulogne with his mother, Princess Woron-
zof, who was sister of Prince Nicolas Trou-
betzkoi and member of the household of the
car before her lawsuit with her nephew,
Count Woronzof, one Of the Emperor Alex
ander's court marshals. The Duke Of Mondelf
is reputed to have 100000 a year, most Of
which he manages to spend in a magnificent
manner. He never goes to bed until daylight
appears, and be generally gets up at 8
O'Clock in the afternoon. After a meal, and
extended at full length on a sumptuous divan,
he receives his friends and visitors, his mother,
the princess, being present at the levee.
On these occasions the duke wears either
superb dressing gown in iyory-colored plush
lined with satin Of the hue of the peach and
garnished with silver braiding and ornamented
with jewels, or an ample jacket of heliotrope
velvet, with gold braided and clasped together
with ducal coronets studded with brilliants
While conversing with his visitors the host it
Is said, toys with precious stones and diamonds
OF rare value, but polished and uncut In the
intervals of conversation a band of Neapolitan
singers MARBLE the melodious airs Of sunny
Italy, and these are succeeded by Tzigane mu-
sicians, who make the ducal halls ring with
their native wild and diabolical strains. After
each musical performance the leader of the
band approaches the diven, kisses the hand Of
the most noble master Of the house, and re-
ceives his orders for the next moro eau of de-
moniac music. Later in the evening the duke
repairs to a splendid cafe on the bouievards.
where he dimes with his friends and listens
once more to the fddlers, to whom he distrib-
utes bountiful largesse in the shape Of fstfuls
of louis, while his guests quad liberal bumpers
Of sparkling champagne in his honor. Such is
an outline Of the ordinary life of an aristocrat
in this capital, which, despite its Spartan re-
publicans and the lamentations Of those who
praise past days is still evidently rendezvous
Of the gay and the luxurious.

Methods and Mission.


THE WAY IN WHICH REPORTER MAKES YOU TELL
WHAT YOU KNOW.
From the Printers Miscellany
good reporter Is always first cousin to a
necromancer, and can introduce himself to YOU
in such way that, for the time being, he
seems like your long-lost brother, who is anx-
ious to show you the strawberry mark on his
left arm ss proof of his identity. You talk
with him about the inner secrets of your life,
in profuse sort OF way give him your opinion
about the resumption of specie payment, and,
as the conversation flows, freely unfold your
self on various other matters. He sits silent
nod when you are hunting for the right word,
or possibly supplying it himself and gives you
the impression that he wouldn't disclose what
You have told him-not for worlds on worlds.
The next day you take up the paper, and while
carelessly looking over the columns you see
your own name in capitals which seem, to your
astonished gaze, as long as Bunker Hill monu-
ment. Every word you have said is there. That
man with the strawberry mark on his arm
was the small end Of speaking trumpet
through which you, unconsciously, told the
whole world all about yourself. He had no
pencil or paper, and didn't evince any desire to
write in shorthand. Oh, no; that is the clumsy
way in which beginners work. His skill Is not
in his finger tips, but in his memory. He
memorized every word you said and repro
dnced it with perfect accuracy. The accom-
plished reporter is as nearly ubiquitous as a
merely human being ever becomes, and ID
beginning to be regarded as a moral restraint,
in many respects superior to the dacalogue. A
man in the olden time might break the deca-
logue and hide the pieces but nowadays the
reporter catches the sound and his persuasive
lips compel you to tell him all about it. He

A Cargo Of Criminals.

A Cargo Of Criminals.
HOW RUSSIA FEEDS HER CONVICT TRENCHES on
sAaHALIxN ISLAND.
From the London Newa
was enabled this morning to inspect the In
ternal arrangements of the Russian convict
transport Nizhni-Novgorod, which sails hence
this evening with $50 criminal deportes for the
Russian penal island Of Saghalien. The Nixhni-
Novgorod II an iron steamer Of about $500
tons burden, and is specially fitted as q convict
transport. With full complement of convicts
characters are manacled and chained 70 iron
staples in their berths, from which they are re-
leased when necessary. Among the 400 con-
victs carried by the Nizhni-Novgorod about 160
are murderers. Upon the greater number Of
these murderers, in addition to their various
terms Of hard labor in the mines and quaries,
viii be inflicted upon their arrival q number Of
blows from the knout, varying from 80 to 125,
according to their crimes. Manacled and
crouching at the end Of one Of the cages was a
convict about thirty-fve years of age. There
was nothing particularly villainous in the mans
face, though 1T was by no means well-favored
by nature. What struck me especially was his
pallid look and apparently general bodily
languor; Seven years ago this man had
committed murder, and was sent to
hard labor to be worked in the mines.
After the expiration Of his mine labor he man.
aged to escape, and was only rearrested after
committing second murder. He is now SEN
fenced to mine labor in Saghalien for life, to
receive 125 blows of the knout on arrival on the
island, ano thereafter to be chained to bis bar
row or hand wagon for the first twelve months
OF his sentence. In these cases there is no I'M
Chanting. The chains are welded on the con-
vict's limbs. "How long do you imagine this
poor wretch will exist under the conditions of
his first years punishment?' asked my guide,
who had spent some years Of official service in
Saghalien. Possibly monitor two. The
shorter the better for the poor devil" 1t is
this question which does not appear to occur to
the humanitarian" defenders Of the Russian
penal code-whether capital punishment were
not an unqualified mercy to such criminals,
and their number is terribly large in Russia
The convict's horror and dread Of having to
live out these sentences is shown by the des-
perate attempts at self-destruction he is ever
ready to make. The scene on board these de-
parting ships is altogether saddening and de-
pressing, perhaps the more so that one does
not hear murmur or lament from the stolid-
looking and broken-spirited wretches crowded
behind the bars Of these cages which remind
the spectators only too forcibly Of the wild
beast dens we are accustomed to see in q trav-
cling menagerie,

Friends for One Newly Rich.

Paris Dispatch to the London Telegraph.
Allamacher, the printer of Versailles, who
was supposed to have inherited $4,000, 000f.
from testator who died in. America, is still
playing the part Of a wandering heir" It is
stated that the printer really received over
$4,000 from banker in order to enable him
to go to America, where his property was
awaiting him, and that the new Monte Cristo
has actually sailed for the ''states." One thing,
however, is certain, that ever since the an
nouncement of Allamacher's reputed good luck
the Office Of the printing establishment at YER
sailles wherein he worked has been inundated
by letters from all parts Of France. Among
these epistles were 800 communications of all
sorts and sizes from women. 80 letters from
people who wanted to foat newspapers,
waxworks, waterworks, railways, mines,
and every kind Of financial undertaking;
$50 letters from patentees, "a epistles
from poets Offering copies of their latest pro-
auctions, and a myriad Of others from trades
men, struggling lawyers, htterateurs, painters,
musicians, actors, and "quacks." The women's
letters were the most amusing OF all. There was
the soehe and symmetrical syiph, with golden
hair, who has already been noticed; the widow
of a general who modestly represented herself
as of certain age" but well preserved, still
beautiful in every way, and calculated to assure
the felicity Of a millionaire. Then there were
dozens of demoisettes auec tdches and numerous
damsels without any blemish; laundress who
loved compositors, and a score Of MILNE rs,
each Of whom assured NJ. Allamacher that she
was ready to die for him il necessary. Some of
these letters bore curious addresses, such as:
ITO NJ. Allamacher, ex-Printer," or ''To the
Heir Of Five Million Dollars, at Versailles" or
ITO NJ. Aiiamacher of Versailles, the Imperson-
alton Of Virtue Rewarded" Hardly any of
these peculiar communications have reached
the printer, who is now either hiding in mys-
terious quarters in Paris crossing the Atlantic
in quest of the ''Golden Fleece" which, after
all, this new Jason may not be able to secure.

In Central Africa.


Day after day you may wander through these
orests with nothing except the climate to re-
mind you where you are. The beasts, to be
sure, are different, but unless you watch for
them you will seldom see any; the birds are
different, but you rarely hear them; and as
for the rocks, they are our own familiar
gneisses and GRANTEES, with honest basalt
bikes boring through them, and leopard
skin lichens staining their weathered sides.
Thousands and thousands OF miles, then, Of
vast thin forest, shadeess, trackless, voiceless-
forest in mountain and forest in plaintiffs is
East Central Africa. Once week
you will see a PALM once in three months the
monkey will cross your path; the flowers, on
be honest, though the endless forest-clad
mountains have a sublimity of their own, and
though there are tropical bits along some Of
the mountain streams of exquisite beauty,
nowhere is there anything in grace and sweet
ness and strength to compare with Highland
glen.
