One of the Old Guard.

London Express: When the Empress
Eugene arrived on Tuesday night
from the hotel Continental and stepped
from the electric coupe which had been
sent to the station to meet her, a tall
and soldierly old mar Of some 20 years
stood with barred head and saluted IN
military fashion.
In the brilliant days of the second
empire the old soldier formed a part
of the empress bodyguard, and ii is
said that he conceived a strong platoniC
love for his sovereign, which made him
the butt of his comrades.
The empress frequently visits the
city over which she once reigned so
brilliantly. but even the newspapers
hardly notice her comings and goings.
The old soldier, however. fails
In his fidelity, n stands in N OF
the corridors through which the EN-
press is bound to pass, 50 thai he may
salute his former sovereign as she
passes at the hotel Continental. He
invariably brings a magnificent bouquet
of roses, which are placed in the en-
press drawing room.

CONDITIONS IN RUSSIA.
High Taxes and Poverty Make Life
Miscra for Peasants.

miScra - Tor PEASANTS.
London Statist: The budget Of the
empire exceeds 200. 900. eco and is in
creasing enormously, TO the detriment
Of the rural taxpayers, who sustain
his burden almost exclusively, while
the privileged classes, supplied with
much better means, do not pay any
thing like a just proportion. The an
nual revenue of the whole Russian
population scarcely reaches e350,000,-
600. and the average evenue OF a peas
ant is only E2 a year; out of this sum
he has to pay some 22s. fol- the needs OF
the government. The amount of debt
TO the government thrown on the rural
population is increasing in an immense
proportion. and the poverty in some
districts Is beyond description. The
system of favoring exports abroad has
resulted an enriching the government
with "A few millions yearly, and in fur
ther deterioration OF the peasants ex-
istence. The peasants sell milk. butter
and eggs. but rarely eat these luxuries
themselves: everything is sold in order
TO get one and TO pay the taxes
The peasant does not see any meat at
all, very often does not get bread with
put a mixture of grass; in the winter
he is bound sometimes TO destroy his
wooden cottage and go to a neighbor's
house, because wood is wanted foi
heating; the cattle are brought TO the
same room, and men women and chill
dren live together with pigs and horses
Strange is the peasants character. He
destroys his own house in order TO get
the wood and herd with his neighbors,
when there is an immense forest quite
close to the hamlet, belonging to the
government or to some member of the
imperial family.
