A ROYAL PALACE.
Some OF the Wonders of One of the Resi-
denees of the Gar.


dences of the Gar.
Tsarkoe Selo is one of the resi-
| dences of the crown. 1t is 40 min
utes by rail from st. Petersburg and
is one of the places often visited by
tourists in Russia.
Near the principal entrance of the
grounds leading to the palace stand
two small towers, with carvings of
Egyptian figures and hieroglyphics.
The palace was built in 1744 and en-
bellished by Catharine II, when all
the ornaments in front-the vases,
statues, capitals and pedestals of
the columns, etc. were covered
with gold leaf. the gold amounting
to moro than l, 600, 900 ducats. None
of the gliding now remains except
on the dome and cupolas of the
church.
The chapel within communicates
through the gallery, which is used
by the imperial family, with tho
apartments of the latter. The room
is large, fitted up in dark wood and
gilded, the ceiling being entirely
covered with gold. There are fine
paintings here. Near the altar hangs
key of the city of Adrianople.
One of the most wonderful rooms
in this palace is the famous amber
room, the walls of which are panel
ed with this costly material cut in
different designs In several places
are groups Of figures framed with
large pieces of the same substance.
The arms of Frederick the Great
frequently appear, nodded with the
imperial cipher, the amber having
been presented to him by Catharine.
The lapis lazuli is another re-
markable room, so called from the
inorustations of that stone with
which it is ornamented The walls
are entirely lined with pictures cut
so as to fit into each other without
frames, and the floor is of ebony, in
laid with large flowers of mother of
pearl.
In Catharine's bedchamber the
pillars are of purple glass, and the
walls are adorned with porcelain.
The walls of the banquet room are
lavishly gilded.
The Chinese room is remarkable
for the beauty of the articles it con-
tains, while the two bathrooms are
conspicuous for their fine collections
of china vases, which are placed in
circular tiers up to the ceiling in the
upper end of each room.
The private apartments of Alexan-
der l remain exactly as he left them
when he departed for Taganrog.
They consist of his study, smaller
room and bedroom beyond, with a
camp bedstead in an alcove.
The grounds of the palace are 18
miles in circumference, kept always
in order by GOO veteran soldiers. In
one corner of these grounds is a tow
er several stories high, which was
occupied by Alexander II and his
tutor. In another portion are the
baby houses of the grand duchess
and pond with feet of tiny YES
sells made for the amusement of the
Grand Duke Constantine, afterward
high admiral.-New York Herald.

HANDICAPPED BY DUKEDOM.

One Grade of British Mobility Which Has
 Never Been Politically Popular.
 ye may note peculiarity in the
 Rish feeling about titles, of which
 nave never seen a reasonable eX- psGSation, says the London Spectator. The political populace dislike the title of duke. Some of the ablest peers in politics have been dukes; but to be duke weighs instead of Tightening man in the great race for power. There is widely diffused impression, the duke is sure to be little stupid, that a brilliant duke is, in fact, an impossibil ity. The title is a positive drawback to the duke of Devonshire, and duke of Derby would never have been described as a Rupert of Debate" The duke of Argyll, who is an intel lectual athlete, would have been far more completely recognized as earl of Argyll; and we are not sure that the dukedom has not impeded one or two promising politicians in the house of lords. Certainly a duke rarely rises there, unless he becomes known to the country before the title crushed him. Is it that the rank overpowers the pop ular imagination till men cease to see the persona thing which constantly happens in the case of kings-or is it that men can never forget the special rank by merging it into the simpler and more familiar title of ''lord?" No peer except duke is invariably men, tioned by the title which marks his grade. We have no idea of the true explanation, but we know that a po- litical earl who accepted dukedom would lose heavily in popular estima- tion, and that even a marquis, like Lord Salisbury, who would alter his rank so little, would find that the cor onet of strawberry leaves acted, to a certain extent, as an eXtinguisher, while if his son never entered the house of commons he would have to struggle against some inexplicable weight. The fact is one of the very oldest in the whole of the odd history of the influence of rank, but of it's reality we entertain no doubt whatever. To say "that is ducal opinion" is to say that it is an opinion that no one in our days need consider.

THE LATE GENERAL COLsTON.-The
Staunton Spectator in mentioning the
death of Gen. r. E. Colston, which
took place at the Confederate Soldiers
Home at Richmond recently, says
The elder Colston lived much in Paris
and was man of great wealth and
large business interests, which requir-
ed him to come often tn America and
remain for long periods. Whilst Mr..
Colstou was in America a French wo-
man of great beauty had called on
Mrs. Colston asking assistance. She
learned that the French woman was
the widow of o French general, that
she expected soon to give birth to a
child and this was why she had so
Inundated herself as to ask aid. Mrs.
Colston at once conceived the idea of
deceiving her husband, 30 she wrote
him that child would soon be borne
to them, and at once provided for the
French woman. Mr.. Colston did not
arrive in France for some months after
the birth of the boy, but was over
whelmed with JOY as he was man Of
large means, and no Immediate heir
upon whom it would descend. The
child soon showed intellect of no ordi-
nary character, and was remarkably
handsome. Everything that wealth
could do to cultivate, refine and edu-
cate him was done.
When in his graduating year at the
V. NJ. l. Mrs. Colston became ill, and
finding she could not live seemed afraid
TO die with the secret in her bosom, 80
she called her husband to her bedside
and related to him the story.
When he heard it he fell into the
mos. violent passion. He Immediately
wrote to Gen. Francis Smith, the com
mandant, that the boy was not his son
and ne would have nothing further to
do with him, nor would he pay any
thing further toward his education.
Gen Smith, however, told young
Colston that he might remain during
the session and graduate, and explained
to him the situation. Colston did
graduate, was appointed sub-professor
the next session, aud taught in the
school until the war broke out, when
he enlisted in the Confederate army,
and rose rapidly to the rank of Ma, r
General He never, so far as could be.
learned. sought his French lineage or
thought of putting aside the name Of
Colston. He is said to have been nerv-
ed by the incident to greater activity
and seemed determined to do moie
for the Colston name than any OF the
name had every done for him. He
was a man OF splendid personal appear,
ance, great personal bravery and much
refinement and learning.

CORBETT'S LION KILLS AN IN
FAINT

A sight that caused the blood of hum
dreds of people to run cold was wit
messed yesterday afternoon at the
R DIS county fair grounds, on the edge
of Chillicothe, o. A ferocious lion bit
off child's head in the presence of its
father and mother. The county fair is
in progress this week. and among the
attractions is branch of Hagenbeck's
performing menagerie. This show is
under a tent, and performances are
given hourly during the day. The
show is under the management of Mr..
and Mrs. William Hurd. AS an adver-
tisement they had tied to a stout post
near the entrance to the tent q large
African lion, which is trained to do all
sorts of tricks, and was not regarded as
dangerous. At 2 o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon the lion was tied to the post
and Manager Hurd and wife were
busily engaged In caring for the crowds
that were clamoring to get in the tent.
The spectators all kept at safe dis
lance from the lion, the presence of
which, however, was forgotten by Man.
ager Hurd and wife in their anxiety to
handle the crowds. Their two-year-old
boy, Eddie Hurd, had been playing
about the tent entrance, and sew
eral times had ventured close to
the lion. The spectators had noticed
this, but thought the lion was gentle.
The animal had been watching the
child, and several times switched his
tail and growled. Finally the child
toddled within reach of the lion, which
suddenly crouched, then let out a ter
rife roar and sprang at his victim. In
an Instant, the child's head was entire
ly in the lions mouth. Many people
tainted, others screamed, but none ap.
preached the animal, but Manager
Hurd, who was attracted by the shouts
of the spectators. He rushed at the
lion, seized him by the jaws, and with al
most supernatural strength, pulled the
beasts jaws apart. Then with one hand
he seized his boys legs, and snatched
him from the lions mouth, but it was
too late. The child was dead. The
entire top of his head was gone. The
scene was thrilling one. People went
frantic. The boys father and mother
were wild with grief, and the perform
ance was declared off for the day. The
lion was ferocious for long time, but
was finally clubbed into submission,
and placed in cage. The lion belongs
to James J. Corbett, the pupilist, and
was placed in charge of the Hagenbecks
for the summer. The animal is not yet
two years old.
