OUR DEBT TO RUSSIA
What the United States Owes to the
House of KonauoT

! House of KomanoT
That we are under tremendous OBJ
legations to the House Of ROmlnotf i,
recognized by every American who
knows the history of this country,
says the New York sun. Whatever
may have been the motive which led
Catherine IL. to join the so-calIctl
league Of ncutrliS, the result of the
act was to complete the Discourage
mcnt Of the British Ministers, to
break the stubborn will of George
ILL.,, and to compel the acknoWleug-
mcnt OF pmCrlcan indcpenIcnCe.
Whatever, again, may have been the
purpose controlling the mind Of
Alexander |. when, Drawing the anger
OF Napoleon, he refused to enforce
the Berlin DEGREES against the Amer
lean vessels thlonging the Baltic
ports, there is no doubt that he res
cued from ruin our commerce. We
accepted redemption 1T his hands; we
protited by his protection, and it be.

The services Of the House Of Ro.

eliminated in the stand taken in our
behalf by Alexander II. at a crisis
when our national existence was at
stake, the Frcuch Emf error having
put forth all his influence at West
minister to persuade the British Coy
ernment to join him in intervening
on the side Of the Southern Conrcl-
cracy. Then it was that the Car
who freed the Russian serfs caused
his ambassadors at Paris and London
to announce that, if France and En-
gland undertook to assure the de-
struction Of the American Union and
to perpctuate the regime of slavery
in the Western Hemisphere, they
would find Russia arraycd against
them. Nor was the friendly inter
position Of Alexander II. confined to
words. simultaneously with the ut.
terance Of diplomatic warnings a
russian fleet was directed to proceed
under sealed orders to the harbOr Of
New York. and Russian squadron
was dispatched to the Bay of San
Francisco. For us, for the American

Treasures of Ancient History.

The contents of that wonderful treas
ury of antique records discovered in
1887 by peasant woman near the ruins
of the ancient Arsinoc of Upper Egypt
have now been laid before the public in
Maj. Conder's work on the "Tcl Amarna
Tablets" comprising translation of the
text, with Introduction and notes, says
the London Tablet. Inscribed on clay
tablets, subsequently baked into brick,
and written in Aramaic, the ancient
language of Syria, in cuneiform charac-
tiers, we have here nothing less than
series of dispatches sent to the Egyptian
foreign office about 1880 B. c., from the
protected of tributary kings of Canaan,
imploring assistance against various in
vasions TIE most interesting are the
letter from the king of Jerusalem and
other chiefs of Southern Palestine, for
in them we can trace the dismav and
alarm created by the advance Of Joshua
and the Hebrews, called ''Abiri.n and
''Pcoplc of the Desert" A very striking
passage occurs in one of the dispatches
of the fugitive monarch, apparently
after the battle of A.aIon, in which,
seeking as it were to apologize for his
defeat, he speaks Of the leaders of the
enemy as "sorcerers," doubtless in alIu-
sion to the miracles of Joshua. The
date of the Exodus is also shifted back
to that assumed by earlier biblical ex-
ponents, while the contrary theory of

A Learned Irishwoman,

The ActOnian Prize of one hundred
gulneas has been awarded to Miss Agnes
NJ. Clerke by the managers of the London
Royal Institution, for her works on as
tronomy, IS illustrative of the ''wisdom
and benrticence of the Almighty Tn
like most prizes, the Actonian is awarded
without competition, aud Miss Clerke
was ignorant of its existence until March
Z, when she was informed that at the
meeting of the Royal Institution, on the
preceding afternoon, it had been con-
ferred upon her. Oddly enough, Sir
James CriChton Broome, NJ. D., who has
said and written SO much on the inferior
brain powe!' of the sex, presided on this
really interesting occasion. 1t is a
triumph for all women, and especially the
Irish women and Catholics; for Miss
Agnes Clerke is of purely Irish descent,
was born near Skibbcreen, and is
devout member of the Catholic Church.
Her father, though Irish, held legal ap-
.pointment in England, and for this
reason his family have for many
years made their home in Lon
don. Miss Agnes Clerke, how
ever, has been great traveller, and
passed some years of her early girlhood
in Italy. Later, after she had made as
tronomy her special study, she made
voyage to Cape Town, on the invitation
of the head of the Observatory there;
ana yet more recently she has been to
the extreme North and to Russia, in
order to enlarge her experience. Save
for these occasional absences, Miss Agnes
Clerke lives with her mother and sister
in charming house in Radcliffe square,
and is of too home-loving disposition
to thoroughly enjoy her travels.
She has had several most pressing
offers of professorships, lecturcships, and
the like, in American obscrvatories, but
has never felt the least inclination to
''emancipate" herself. She is, indeed,
the most modest and retiring woman in
the world, and it was long before her
friends connected her with any achieve
ment more intellectual than music, in
which she and her sister are both exceed
ingly accomplished. Miss Agnes Clcrke
was chosen by the Women's Committee
of the Chicago Exhibition to select the
scientific books written by women-a
post for which she was admirably fitted
both by her scientific and literary knowl-
edge and her extremely lust and
gentle character Miss Clerkc has The
fluent pen, characteristic of her nation,
and her "History of Astronomy" can be
read with pleasure by persons quite
ignorant Of the subject.

The Elephants Laughed.

Mr.. O'Shea, the we'll known war COZ
respondent, tells the following anecdote
of an adventure with herd of elephants ::
"A young friend asked me once to
show him some elephants, and | took
him with me, having first borrowed an
apron and filled it with oranges. This
he was to carry while accompanying me
in the stable; but the moment we reached
the door the herd set up such a trumpet
ing-they had scented the fruit-that he
dropped the apron and its contents, and
scuttled off like a scared RABBIT. There
were eight elephants, and when picked
up the oranges | found had five and
twenty.
Il walked deliberately along the line,
giving one to EACH When | got to the
extremity of the narrow stable | turned,
and was about to begin the distribution
again, when suddenly reflected that if
elephant No. 7 in the row saw me give
two oranges in succession to No. s he
might imagine he was being cheated,
and give me smack with his proboscis-
that is where the elephant falls short of
the human bcing-so | went to the door
and began de noVo as before.
"Thrice | went along the line, and
then [ was in fix. had one orange
left, and had to go back to the door.
Every elephant i'll the herd had his
greedy gaze focused on that orange. 1t
was as much as my life was worth to
give it to any one of them. What was
to do? [ held it up conspicuously,
coolyE peeled it and sucked it myself. It
was most amusing to notice the way
those elephants nudged each other and
shook their ponderous sides. They
thoroughly entered into the humor Of
the thing. - The Million.
