The winter palace of the czar sur passes any other palace in Europe It is on the banks of the Neva and owes its existence to the Empress Catherine II, that most extraordinary woman. ex- traordinary in ability and in vice, the surprise of all her contemporaries and the wonder of all who have studied her character. The building is four stories high, of light brown color and highly ornamental in architecture It is a wilderness of halls, stairways and apartments. The Nicholas hall and the St. Georges hall will never be forgot ten by those who have seen them
 One of the most interesting rooms Is that where Nicholas died. It is in the upper story of the northeast corner of the building and is approached by four doors and finally by a narrow passage. It is small room, only about IS feet long and 12 feet wide, with two small windows, and is the place where the emperor spent most of his time when not officially employed It is the room in which he died, some say by poison administered by himself in fit of mel anoholy induced by the outcome of the Crimean war. The room remains just as he left it. Near the center is plain iron bedstead. Some chairs and few cheap pictures adorn the room, and 8 dilapidated, down at the heel pair of slippers complete the furnishings of the attic room In the palace.

To such matters as eating and dressing they gave the clos est attention.

They fol- lowed the whole process with the great est enjoyment, discussing and explain ing to one another the various details and now and again raising shouts of applause as some peculiarly amusing feature of the performance (such as the use of the nailbrush) occurred. When produced my toothbrush and proceeded to put it to its natural use, there was much anxious discussion, and when brushed my hair up and made 1t stand on end they yelled with delight.

They had been but few minutes confined in this internal prison before every one fell Into a precipitation so profuse that no idea can be formed of 1t. This brought on a raging thirst, the most difficult respiration and an outrageous delirium. Such was the horror of their situation that every insult that could be devised against the guard without and all the opprobrious names the viceroy and his officers could be loaded with were re- peated to provoke the guard to fire upon them and terminate their sufferings- Before II o'clock the same evening one- third of the men were dead, and before 6 next morning only B came out alive. but most of them in high putrid fe- yer.
