The Tramp to His Pard.

There is residing in the suburbs a
gentleman who is the owner of very
large amount of real estate, but who Is
one of the most negligent of persons in
regard to dress, his clothing being
almost invariably of the shabbiesf
description. This negligence is an
eccentricity. and is not due to penuri-
business, for he is generous and of a
warm and genial nature Not many
days ago tramp called at his house
during the owners absence, and, as it
was the noon hour, the latter's wife, a
very sympathetic and kind hearted
woman, gave the nomad a good din
ner. Having finished the meal and
thanked the giver of the same, the
tramp started off; but just as he got
to the gate he met the owner of tho
premises, and Judging by his dress that
they were of the same fraternity, the
wanderer said:
Look here, pard, it's a little rough
for two o. US to work the same house
durin' the same hour. Jist try some
other place this time, for yenders too

Last real autocrat In Europe. count
Il among my most instructive expert
ences and recollections to have OBJ
tanned living picture of the most re-
markabIe man of my time. which ]
was able to supplement and complete
from time TO time by means of numer-
Gus connections with relatives common
to us both. In the person OF the En-
peror Nicholas all vague distractions
of state, church and nationality van
ished. One looked at him and per-
ceived that all the force expressed in
these terms was concentrated in his
person. Apart from him nothing ex-
listed or seemed capable of existing.
He stood tangible, but by no means
terrible; on the contrary, handsome
and lordly, attractive and seductive,
self assured, bold, and like a kind of
religious guardian spirit before an
adoring world. And yet this colossal
apparition of an absolute ruler proved
on closer examination to be mere out
ward show, a painted picture.

and red tape. He looked both the
statesman and the general in so
marked a degree that his complete
capacity to fill either role seemed to
every one foregone conclusion.
That and everything else he effected
by means of the grand spirit born
within him, which was expressed in
the phrase, 9'Nimbus of the Autocrat. y
he was better capable of maintaining
this in the most brilliant style than
any of the emperors and kings of his
time. But with equal ability he man
aged to give to the social expression of
his feelings certain air of bonhomie,
which correspondent to his change of
uniform. Above all, he understood
the art of putting one out of counte-
nance, while his gallant and chival-
rous demeanor fascinated both men
and women. His influence was every
