spects as their implements and vehicles
are universally admitted to be, and this Is
no slight praise.

PRINCESS poLaoRoukl's ME-
MOlRS.

Princess Dolgorouki, the morganatic
wife of the late Gar, has, according
to an Odessa telegram, just published
her memoirs in Russia. Every avail
able copy. the Telegraph Paris corres-
pondent says. has been pounced upon
Immediately by the police. In this
volume the Princess gives. . graphic
account OF what happened on the very
eve of the assassination Of the ILL
fated Alexander II. During the
evening before the tragic event she
was in room adjoining that in which
the police report for the day was be-
ing submitted to the Emperor. When
Colonel Stauden mentioned that SOL
diers, In whom more trust could be
reposed, had been stationed on guard at
the palace, the Gar displayed great
irritation. exclaiming, What! am l
surrounded by traitors even in my
own housep If such be the case, the
most ragged beggar is happier than l.
Wen, 1 shall appeal to the people,
dwell among them, and show them
that have confidence in them, and
do not fear the cowardly assassius
who dare not emerge from their OBJ
scurity!" His Majesty then went into
the room In which the Princess was
sitting, and said that he had decided
on going to Vienna. although the. Rus
SLAMS were hated there since his IA
business with the Emperor of Austria
which could not be entrusted to a
third party. Soon afterwards, at
midnight, the unhappy Emperor dis
covered, to his horror, that his fav-
orite dog, Tristan, had been poisoned,
and flying again into a violent rage,
he overwhelmed his valet with abuse
and threats. The Princess had
begged Alexander II. not to go out on
the morrow, but at nine in the morn
ing note was brought her which be-
trayed the nervous agitation to which
the unfortunate monarch was a prey.
He had begun by saying that in con-
formity with her wishes and his pro-
mise he would remain at home. but he
had scratched out the words. and
had written instead, that he needed
air and exercise, and would go out
soon, adding that he would bring
back the Grand Duke Sergius to lunch
with her. The Princess was making
preparations to accompany or follow
the Gar, when looking out Of the
window she saw the guards passing
by in confusion. Soon afterwards she
heard of the Emperor's death. She
hurried to the winter palace, and
threw herself on the mangled and
bleeding corpse. Then Alexander III.
told her that his father had uttered
her name with his dying breath.

10 verified by the teachings and quotations
contained in this book lately brought out
by Robert Allen Campbell, published by

tions from celebrated patriots, statesmen
and poets, along with q complete history,
sparkling with reason as TO design, the col

of our glorious flag. The book, beautifully
illustrated, also contains several OF our
