CHAPTER XIV.

In Siberia, not far from Irkutsk. young man,
who almost broke down under an enormous load
OF wood, was wading with difficulty through the
deep snow. He followed slowly a path lined
with pines, which GUIDED in the main street of
small village. The huts on both Sides were low
poyeriy-sirlcken and irregularly built; The snow
IN huge drifts, formed entertainments which often
reached the roofs OF the dwellings occupied by
poor Siberian eXtles.
Large, gttering lcicles hung like stalaetites
from the roofs. The sky looked dark aud dis.
nal, aud the whole village seemed to be for
oaKen. Not bird WAS visible; not a window
spen, and IN the streets was not human being.
The young man alone broke the mon0tony of
the landscape. II was evidently an unusual
task which he had undertaken. His distin.
gulshed-oOklDg features had undergone no
change, but his eye had lost Its luster and his
whole carriage spoke of mental as well as physi-
cal depression.
The little village was colony OF exlles.. The
young man, Count Lanln, only here he did not
bear that name. He was neither count, nor
nobleman, nor landowner; he was nothing more
nor less than the cooni>t Vladimir. HI had
been forced 10 build his own little hut; he had TO
cultivate pleca OF land which the Government
gave him, and 10 winter he lived on the result OF
his hunting. He had no individual rights, the
inspector disposed of him according TO his al bl-
trary VIII. This man could Impose on him any
labor he chose; he could punish him in any way
not rpting corporal punishment. and the
poor cOlOuist ha1 In such cases no protection.

The most elaborate costumes made for
children are for the little bridesmen and
maids. AT pretty wedding last Wednes-
day curly-headed boy wore pages suit
OF dark,sreen velvet with light brooches
fastened with silver buckles slashed at the
shoulders with cream matching the silk
sash frlnged at the ends and tied at the
SIDE. His pageship wore green silk stock
lngs and low suede shoes. His dainty little
sister looked very charming in white cash
mere, with collar, sash and saShed sleeves
like the boys. Her hat was a white leg
horn, trimmed with ostrich plumes.
A small girl, who had an "at home" the
other day, in imitation of her mammals,
wore Louis XVI blouse in washing silk
shot pink and blue with pinked out
was sash in twilled silk knotted at the
back and for outdoor wear was provided
bonnet in white lace with satin ribbons
One OF her little guests wore a flounced
froek in polka-dotted silk with fiat collar
and cuffs of plain material and stringless
rayed in an Elton vest and skirt of gray
cashmere with full sleeves, front and band
about the hem in white cashmere.
Peasant clOaks make pretty wraps for
girls, and little tweed Jackets smartly
braided are much seen. The prettiest
mantles have double fronts and are made of
fine soft woods with tyings of broad ribbons
The most barbarous features of children's
fashions is the mourning costume which is
now made with much punctiliOusness for
an infant OF 5 or years. To put baby
into dead black is heathenish, but the
somber little figures are seen every day.
One dimpled face that noticed this morn
ing was encircled by flaring Charlotte
Corday bonnet in black Surah. The mite
wore an Empire gown of black yelling and
black peasant CLOAK. In one hand she
clutched doll, and the doll, save the mark
was in mourning

French fashion we refuse to accept is the
most sensible fashion France offers. The
Paris fashion-plates, without exception,
show US short, full. nodding and dipping

In both parties there Is much more talk than
action. Indeed, late Democratic caucuses might
be termed political Conversations. A forcible
speaker in these meetings Is General Oates OF
Alabama. He expresses his opinion In true Ala
bama style, and floods the Chairman with
amendments to nearly every proposition. Other
speakers are Benton McMillin Of Tenness ee and
the two Breckinrdges. They never address
caucus for oratorcal effect. They give their
views In the fewest words and the clearest man.
ner. Crisp and Blount of Georgia and Hooker
OF Mississippi are not whit behind them. New
members occasionally indulge in flights of elo-

Some OF these flights are alarming and others
picturesque. but all are amusing. AT times

ideas and vehement language. MIR. Boatner Of
Louisiana made speech In late caucus that
would have stirred the heart of the National
democracy If IL had got into print Mr. Carlton
