ST. PETERSBURG IN SEPTEMBER

ST. PETERSBURG IN SEPTEMBER.
OF the ordinary sights OF the Russian
capital II would be idle to speak. That
which impresses the visitor at first
sight is the stately breadth of the long
streets and the sOmbre dignity of the
palaces and public buildings which
abound on every hand. The great glild,
ed domes of the churches naturally at
tract attention; more, however. b3
their novelty than by their beauty
Architecturally ST. Petersburg may
fairly bear comparison with any of the
great continental capitals. It's aspect
is more substantial than that of Paris;
1t Is more uniformly dignifed than vi
emma; IL is in most respects incOmpara-
bly, superior to Berlin. The Nevski
PrOskept, in its Summer aspect. was
somewhat disappointing. One must
see 1t in its Winter dress, when a thou
sand sledges are gliding over the hard
ened snow, in order to understand why
it has been so loudly praised. In Sep
tem'ber it Is merely a crowded street,
where tramcars, drosldes and private
carriages are necessarily passing to
and fro. The shops are excellent, al
most as good as those of Piccadilly or
Bond street, but they contain nothing
distinctively Russian. Shopping in st.
Petersburg is indeed a delusion and a
snare September in the Russian capt.
tai Is very much what September is in
London. The palaces are closed and
the fashionable people are ont of town.
But even this hardly accounted for the
fact that not a single well-dressed man
or woman was to be met in an after
Moons walk in the whole length of the
Nevski Prospekt. The absence Of we'll
dressed women both here and in Mos
cow was indeed remarkable. On the
other hand, there were no signs of ex-
treme poverty. One saw no rags or
wretchedness like that which meets the
eyes 50 frequently in London, and the
only sign of the existence of that rig
orous despOtism of which we have
heard so much was to be found in the
law forbidding women to travel out
side the tramcars.-Nineteenth Cen
tury.

EFFECT OF SMALL CHANGE.

A West Side saloon-keeper. who is
a close student OF human nature. has
a large number OF colored men among
MS thirsty customers. Speaking Of their
characteristics he said to the Way
farer:
There is one funny thing about a
colored man. If he comes for a drink
and tosses you a dollar and you give
him iifty-cent piece and a. quarter. or
uhree quarters, he will spend the bal
ance OF the 20 cents broken and then
go home, but If you give him his
change in five-cent pieces he will spend
the entire dollar before he goes home.

quit II paralyzed the shipbuilding in
terests in this section In his office he
had "A pasteboard box for each vessel
he owned. in whole or In part, and In
each Of these boxes he kept all cores
pOndence pertaining to each particular
boat. the name Of which was on the
front Of the boxe He did not insure
any of his vessels with the underwrit-
ers, but had an insurance scheme
of his own, setting apart so much OF
the earnings of each vessel as an insur-
ance fund. This he found to be a most
satisfactory system.
I'm addition to vessels he had about
twenty-one farms, which is a pretty
good showing for a man who began life
as a cabinet-maker's assistant, drifted
into mercantile life on a small scale;
from that into the shipping of grain
and other commodities, and from that
again into one Of the largest vessel and
landowners on the Peninsula"
The Wayfarer had the pleasure OF
spending a Winter at Dover with ex-
Governor Hail. who was elected to
represent Kent county in the State Sen
ate He performed his official duties
with the same painstalxing care that
characterized him in the conduct of his
personal business affairs, and the
shrewdest lobbyist found him, even in
his advanced years, most difficult
piece Of humanity to handle. He
watched the States interest as he
watched his own, and no man ever
went TO Dover and left congratulating
himself that he had pulled the old
mans leg. Many of the ex-governor's
nights were spent I'm the Senate cham
Der and there were times when he was
both talkative and communicative.
The Wayfarer had many "a pleasant
chat with him in those days, and was
often surprised at the acute memory
of a man. so advanced in years. He
liked to dwell upon his incumbency of
the Office of governor and related
many incidents connected Herewith.
One evening as he was about to leave
the Senate chamber to return to his
Dover home, which was the residence
of his son, he surprised the Wayfarer
| by asking:
do you know who made George
Gray what he is to-day?"
The Wayfarer suggested that it was
his great ability. ~
mot at all, said the ex-governor.
1T was / who did II. I appointed him
encouragement and the record which
| afforded him opportunity to make in
that Office was the first round in the
ladder which placed him where he is
to-day. And | am proud Of him. fol
he reflects credit upon me as we'll al
upon himself"
The Wayfarer was also present il
the Senate chamber the day of the ad
journment of the General Assembly
when the ex-governor made a speecl
which practically predicted his demis
before the holding-over members of tn.
Senate, of whom he was one. shoul,
meet again. 1t was an affecting fare
well speech which he made. and near
ly every eye in the room was wet be
fore he had concluded what he had !;
say Senator McMullen, Of Red Lilo
hundred, was also one of the speaker
that day, and his remarks were of sim
liar tenor, but he was permitted to fin
ish his senatorial term, and died 500
