1t may not be generally known that
the still youthful car of all the Rus
sas possesses a very fine and admira-
bly, trained tenor voice. 1t Is not OF
great volume. but OF sweet and melo-
dious timber Some little time ago the
drawing-room party at the imperial
villa at Livadia became musical. The
emperor was in gay spirits. and in ex-
cellent voice and form. He sang a
couple Of arias with more than his
usual success. Turning from the piano
towards his highly appreciative court
audience. and with that naturally
amiable impulsiveness and frank
speech which lends SO great charm
to the imperial domestic circle. his
majesty laughingly exclaimed: We'll.
my children, my enemies say many
harsh and unkind things of me. and
accuse me of being destitute OF many
capacities. but defy them to say that
capnot sing as well as the best OF

relerraphine Irish.

The Irish postofice officials have ac-
complished feat which deserves more
than passing recognition. There has
just been concluded. at Letterkenny,
county Donegal. an Irish festival.
which lasted for week 1t was decid-
ed by the promoters that the occasion
should be taken advantage Of for en-
couraging the revival Of the Irish Ian
guage. An Irish language congress was
hAd and numerous speeches delivered
in the ancient tongue of the, Gael.
These addresses we're reported the next
day In the Freeman's Journal In Gaelic
characters. and how this was done is
noteworthy.
The Irish telegraph department, rec
os4txing the Gaelic nature of the fes-
tival, sent down to Letterkenny q
Wheatstone stan OF nine men. under
Mr.. Donnelly, to Belfast, with two in-
struments. and an Irish-speaking op-
orator. Mr.. Halpin. Clare man. was
included. to deal with the Gaelic. A
Gaelic telegraphist was also put at the
receiver in Dublin. and the Letterken-
ny stan. when dealing with the first
sedtion OF the work in Irish, not know
ing of the special arrangements at the
general postofice. made inquiry II the
words were accurately received. and
were rather surprised to receive sat
isfactory answer in Gaelic across the
wire. The work was sent rapidly and
accurately. and the Irish telegraphists
engaged on 1t are to be complimented
on the capacity they displayed to meet
.he emergency.

the other day. and even II 1t be not
quite authentic, it illustrates most ad-
mirably the archiepiscopal method
with those OF his clergy who have not
won his favor, as well as the rugged
aptness of his wit. An incumbent of
a living wanted to hold another living
in plurality. and therefore had to ap'
ply to the archbishop for leave to do
so. What happened may. without dis
respect to the cloth. be put in dramatic
form:
Scene-Lamheth. Time-1s97.
Archbishop-How far Is the new
living from your present cure?
Applicant-About six miles. as the
crow flies, your grace.
Archbishop-You're not crow. you
can't fly, and you shan't have 1t
