by detachments from the id and
Cossack patrols. He sees no one but
members of his suite and his ministers,
and when he takes a walk in the grounds
he is accompanied by an escort of offi-
cers. This prison life is telling on him
and he looks weary and haggard. The
superstitious in St. Patersburg do not
expect him to return alive from Peter-
hof. Peter the Great received the inju-
ries from which he died at Peterhof
and the boy-czar Ivan and Peter IIL
were murdered there. It has the repu-
tation of being an uncanny spot. n is
said that Nihilists have been arrested in
the dense woods which almost surround
the castle and that attempts have been
made to fire both the woods and the
castle. Correspondents who have visited
tions taken to secure the czar's safety
are such that it is impossible for the
Nihilists to reach him either by bomb
or poison. /He is a closer prisoner than
any exile it Siberia, and is said to have

Suicides from High Places,
The first attempt to commit snicids
on the NewYork elevated railroad was
made a few days ago by a young woman
who threw herself from a station plat-
form in front of an approaching
train. In the large cities of the world
the high places accessible to the public
have come to be utilized for the pur-
pose of suic ide. Many persons bent on
self-destruction have leaped from the
parapet of the High Bridge acqueduct
geross the Harlem river, and have been
killed by the fall of over a hundred
feet. Superstitions laborers engaged
about the pumping-house have told
stories of phantom shapes flitting along
the capstones of the masonry on moon-
light nights, or ascending the flights of
stairs without stepping ; and it is told
of one of the men that though his work-
ing hours ceased at 2 o'clock in the
morning, he would never cross the
bridge to his home till after daylight.
Since a drunken man leaped from above
the keystone of the central arch, and
lived to resume his occupation of fish-
ing from the neighboring wharf, which
exploit has been followed by descents
in safety by two or three venturous per-
sons, the place has been abandoned for
purposes of suicide, as offering, perhaps
too many chances of failure. After the
Brooklyn bridge shall have been com-

Queer Advertisements,
of our advertisements are as
comical as Punch. One landlady, en-
irely innocent of grammatical knowl-
edge, advertises that she has “a fine
airy, well-furnished bedroom for a gen
tleman twelve feet square ;" another has
“a cheap and desirable suite of rooms for
a respectable family in good repair ;”
still another has *‘a hall bedroom for a
single woman 8x12.” An English widow
became rather mixed by her grief, but
when announcing the death of her hus-
band she was not so mixed that she lost
sight of the main question: “His vir
tues were beyond price, and his beaver
hats were only seventeen shillings. He
has left a widow and a large stock to be
sold cheap at the old stand. He was
snatched to the other world just as he
had concluded an extensive purchase of
felt, ‘which ha got so cheap that his
