AN INTERVIEW WITH THE CzAR.-I had
never seen the Emperor Alexander the Second
before, but from the striking resemblance which
he bears to his father Nicholas, whom | had
seen very frequently, | should have recognized
him at once The Gar is about fifty years
old, but, although his hair is not yet grey he
looks as if he were over sixty. His hair is thin,
and he wears it in manner which renders his
badness more conspicuous. His complexion
is pale and rather slckly, and his countenance,
with its deep turrows and impertectly develop
ed chin, bears an expression OF languld wearl-
ness, widely different from the majestic and
spirited air which impaired such peculiar
charm to the face of Lis august father. Strong
as is the resemblance which the present En-
peror bears to his father, and, at the same
time, to his beautiful mother, who has given
him her sweet, gentle eyes, and although his
form is still very straight and erect and his
bearing easy aud graceful, he eau hardly be
called fine and majestic looking man.
