The young Empress Marie, his mother,

daughter OF the poet Joukowski. in whom
she took an especial interes st. One even

her sovereign. she fell in tears at her feet,
and confessed that she was loved by the
Grand Duke Alexis, that she shared his

Imagine the Emrress's surprise. The
imperial answer was tho immediate escort
of the maid of honor 10 the other side o.
the frontier, TO tho home of her relatives
In Il FOREIGN country. and an order 20 the

But the august masters of Russia did
not realize with whom they were dealing.

out q shotgun or rife. Thousands OF
them are made and sold every year md
the industry thrives aud extends. The
development in the manufacture from
the fint-lock queens arm OF our grand
fathers to the magazine rife OF to-day is
simply marvellous.
One would imagine from the great i'm
provement that has been made in the
manufacture Of guns. rifles aud fire
arms Of oil kinds that the price Of these
death-dealing Weapons would have adj
vanced accordingly.

purchased for n fabulousy low price.
when one considers the workmanship
and care necc isary to construct a proper
gun or rife. The reasons can be summed
UP in one word-competition. That
seems TO be the only cause that can be
assigned. Morkmen's wages are no lower
than they were three years ago, nor has
tho price of material decreased to any
great extent.
Still. guns are cheaper than they ever
we're before, and better, so far as work.

The competition in the gun trade IL
confined almost exclusively TO this coun-
try. England cannot hold O candle to
America when il comes to making q fine
gun. American guns are more accurate
and Trustworthy than those made by
Eng ish cousins. and English sportsmen.
wheu a good gun Is wanted, always send
to America.
In proof of the above statement it need
only be said that one firm In this city was
awarded the contract to supply the Eng

WAS HE not RIGHT

question. The Republicans threatened
the King that bending to Snlisbury's die

Yet when all is said, q calm, disin-
terested spectator will be inclined 10
think that King CARLos has shown himself
q very decent sort OF q fellow for q King,
and has conducted himself in this trying
situation with wisdom and dignity. He
declared TO tho body which protested
against ceding an inch of Portugnl's
African possessions TO England that the
country was not in q position TO 60 TO
war with England, and that 1t was better
to eoure peace ut the price of oonees-
sions which would not touch the honor
of the nation than to precipitate q need

The two famous songs, ''There'sa Good

II can hardly be wondered that the
