ness of the ear show that no hope is
held of his recovery, and the political
situation of Europe is in suspense,
waiting the end of the present ruler of
the Russias aud the beginning
of n new regime when his sue
cessor shall have been crowned.

malady that he should still be able to
rise and dress at his usual hour. Sud
denly spasm accompanied by diff
Guilty in breathing attacks him and the
nervous crisis is attended by sharp
muscular pains which cause great
agony and eXtort cries of anguish, but
there are days when these distressing
symptoms are entirely absent, and the
imperial patient regains his normal
spirits. The night time is the most
dreaded, as sleep can only be obtained
by ever increasing injections of NOR
phia. In spite of the latest bulletins
there is reason to believe his life may
be prolonged by careful treatment, for
weeks If not months.
1t is asserted that the physicians
have now been compelled TO turn their
attention TO the czarina, whose mind
is said TO have been seriously affected
by the strain of nursing her husband
and anxiety concerning the Grand
Duke George, who is also i'll.
