ing Nicholas of Russia.
James Russell Lowell used to tell this
story to intimate friends. IL was told him
by John Lothrop Motley:
In 1888, Just before the Crimean war
commenced, the venerable Baron Won
Humboldt came to London on very i'm
portant confidential mission. He called
upon Lord Palmcrston and said; Il know
u war is imminent between England and
her allies ON the one hand and Russia. II
you will temporize, make diplomatic de-
lays, do anything to gain time for year
or two, there will not need to DO war
why" Palmcrston asked.
"Eecauso Nicholas of Russia will die
within two years. The fatal curse Of the
Romanoffs is on him. Do you not know
that Il great seercss told Peter the Great
that no male member of the Romanotis
would ever live to see his sixty fifth Year,
"'But Nicholas is not yet 50,' Palmer
ston announced.

human blood, said old Humboldt solemn

two years.
Lord Palmerston was greatly impress

But he could not hold his own hand then.
France, in view of Louis Napoleon ready
recognition by Palmerston, and all Eu-
rope followed his lead, was then ready to
take the field so tho Crimcan war had
to go on. But Nicholas Of Russia died
