THE CzAR's CURIOSITY.
He Destroyed His Daughters Doll to

From the Philadelphia Times.

From the Philadelphia Times.
The heavy burden of autocracy has not
destroyed all the boyish Instincts in Mich
olas us disposition, as the following an
ecdote. heard at a dinner party given in
! honor Of a gentleman of NJ Faure's es-
eort in his late journey, proves. The presi-
dent, after having searched al the best
Partisan shops to find some toys worthy
Of the two little grand duchesses' ACCEPT
ance and, having bought tho everlasting
golden rattle for Miss Tatiana, was in de-
SPAR for something out of the common
to give Miss Olga. He at last chose two
wonderful dolls one got up as an elegant
lady. the other as an overdressed little
girl; and, after much difficulty, a most
complicated piece of machinery was in
serted, thanks to which, when wound up
the lady and her daughter begin "A udi-
erous bit Of conversation, which Is finished

The baby grand duchess was delighted
but not more so than her father who it
appears, spent an hour on the floor with
the child, listening to the squealSy dialogue
between the dolls. But the time came
when the princess had to 90 to bed. which
she did very reluctantly. AS for the en-
peror, he remained an instant IN the bou-
dor after her departure with tho two
clever artificial ladies who had taken his
fancy. while the empress, NJ. Faure and
some ladies' and gentlemen of the court
were talking in the next room. Suddenly
a strange noise like that of an Internal
machine, was heard, followed by a loud
cry of dismay, and everybody rushed to
see what 1t was.
There was the emperor, safe and sound
but with dismal face. looking at the
dolls, which he had partly undressed to
find out the secret hidden in their bos-
oms, while the dolls were chsttering away
as If they would never stop. The EN-
press, unable to restrain her temper,
snatched up the carpeted board on which
were standing and shaking the two pre-
cious ladies', ana. after having crushed
her husband with a whitening eye, she
said to a gentleman near her: please
send this away; 1t Is too bad indeed. The
emperor spois everything he touches"
But Nicholas looked so penitent and the
mshap was so funny that she could not
help laughing

vanced by the latter that they do piece
of work requiring considerable eXcavating
Dudley proposed that they engage to do
the work for 81 20 day. Jesse ob. .ected
to the terms as being too Insignificant
for consideration, and when Dudley re-
marked that he himself intended to do the
work at the compensation quoted, Jesse
grew excited and used fancy language

At this point n little woman who was
once quite pretty, and who has not lost all
traces of it, arose from seat in the court
room and said: Judge, let me get the
money for hirn?''
The baniffs hustled Jesse toward the
cells, and the excited woman CRED in a
loud voice: Never mind. Jesse. will get
the money for you"

was bundled out OF court by the bailiffs.
