Much as the marriage of the Czar e
has been talked of abroad, says a St. b
Petersburg letter, not a word has ap- v
peared on the subject iu the news- j
papers ot' that city. The regulations 1
of the Censorship of the Press prohibit v
auy reference in the public prints to 1
the doniestie uti'airs of the Czar. In 11
% other ways, too, the ceremony referred a
to has been, as far as possible, veiled 1
in the thickest obscurity, and up to 1
this moment absolutely nothing is a
known officially of the event so far us
Russia is concerned. In spite, how- j
ever, of the secrecy observed in refer- 1
enee to the act, some particulars have t
transpired, though only quite recent- i
ly, and the Russian public has, per- 1
hups somewhat indistinctly, become i
acquainted with the general nature of i
the facts. In the first place, there 1
appears no longer any reason to doubt I
that the report of the marriage is cor- i
reet. The ceremony, I am informed,
took place on July 19 (Old Style), i
that is, on July 31 (New Style), of the 1
present year, in the chapel of the j
Palace. The various members of the
imperial family, although they had
long been warned of the probability
of the event, expressed by their con
duct their strong disapproval and dis
pleasure at the marriage. Hence it
was that at the time of its performance
the Czarewitch retired from the capi
tal to Ilapsnl, on the Esthouian coast,
while the Grand Dukes Constantine
and Vladimir fled abroad in order to
avoid being witnesses of the act." The
marriage ceremony itself was accord
ingly gone through in the greatest
possible quietness and seclusion, the j
witnesses present including only the
Grand Duke Nicholas, the Wur Min
ister Milutin, and one or two more
persons of the Court. At the present
time the newly married couple are in
Livadia along with their family, which
even at present is a numerous one, the
eldest sons being already youths iu
their teens.
The union, long foreseen, and now
at length become fact, has its own
peculiar political significance, and iu
the sequel can hardly fail to draw
after it consequences of the most in
cisive importance. As soon as the
necessary negotiations between the
Czar and the rest of the Imperial
family respecting the future position
of the new consort and the children
are completed the marriage will be
officially made known. The Princess
is to receive all the privileges and
honorary rights usually accorded to
one of her rank, while the children
will be recognized as Princes of the
Blood, ranking sixth in order in the
Imperial family, according to the
C'zar Paul's rules for regulating rank,
so that they will have the Imperial 1
coat-of-arnis without the hearers dc- I
noting a Grand Duke. The Czar, it
is also stated, will appoint the Czare
witch as Co-Regent aud will transfer
to his shoulders the main burden of ]
the Government. All his strictly Im
jierial privileges, however, the Em
peror Alexander purposes to retain.
The Princess Dolgoruki, the present
consort of the Czar, belongs to one of I
the oldest and most aristocratic famil
ies of Russia. She comes of a prince
ly stock, which is counted among the
Rurikoritchi, the descendants of Ru
rik, the Varagian, or Norse, founder
of Russia. In point of high birth, in
fact, the house to which the Princess
Dolgoruki belongs surpasses even the
race of the Romanoffs, who reigned
down to Elizabeth and then, through
Anna, transferred the crown to the
Holstein Gottorp line. The Princess,
it is whispered, though the assertion is
denied in many quarters, is not the
first of her family who has stood on i
terms of special intimacy with the
Imperial house, and more particularly
witn the Czar Alexander. Her elder
sister, now the wife of General Al
hedinski, the Governor-General of
Warsaw, many years ago, it is said,
stood in the same relation to the pres
ent Czar as she subsequently occupied
herself. With the younger sister it is
probable that the Imperial connection
would have been as transient as the
Czar's numerous earlier intimacies of
a similar character, except for the
fact that the acquaintance commenced
at a period when the monarch had al
ready passed the prime of life, while
on the Princess's side it was supported
hy rare mental gifts and graces of dis
position and character which, not to
speak of stature, figure and other at
tractive personal qualities, existed in
a remarkable degree in the younger
Princess Dolgoruki. Some fifteen years
ago, when the intimacy began to grow
closer and firmer, it provoked more
and more the displeasure and hostility
of the late Empress the more the prob
ability of its permanence increased.
It was not till some rears had elapsed
that the Empress relaxed her opposi
tion to a continuance of the connec
tion ; the chief reason of the change
being that the influence of the favorite
was understood to be exercised in such
away that the monarch, who by no
means lacked a fair share of the char
acteristic passionate qualities or his
ifiiiSfciii ... ASA : ... , . t: ... .
•ace, was probably preserved thereby
from something worse.
In this conviction the deceased Czar
nil, towards the Inst, not simply tole
rated, but, if anything, rather encour
aged and fostered the liauon. The Czar
liimself became so devoted to the
Princess tliut at length he could not
endure her absence from his company.
I'he visits to Ems, the social life of the
I'znr nt. the "Four Towers," and his
devotion to the Princess and family
there are not unknown in Germany.
1 he longer the relation was maintain
ed the more attached did the Emperor
become to the family, the happiness of
whose heads would seem to nave been
perfect but for the missing sanction of
law and morality. The Czarina de
voted herself more and more exclusive
ly to the Church and works of religion
and piety, leaving the domestic hearth
and family life more and more in the
hands of the Princess. At length the
latter occupied a splendid suite of
apartments iu the V, inter Palace at
St. Petersburg, above the rooms occu
pied b? the Cza- himself. The new
family relations iuto which the sover
eign thus openly entered could hardly
fail to exercise some influence on pub
lic life. Before long the Princess was
induced, hy solicitations from dignita
ries of the state and by petitions from
less influential persons, to use her in
fluence with the Czar in matters of
public concern.
Thus it came to pass that iu the
upper story of the Winter Palace a
kind of regular hut separate court
gathered together. 1 lore Russian states
men were to he seen crowding almost
as eagerly as to the real court, a story
lower. Here, in, fact, state business
was transacted quite as effectively as
in the regular ministerial offices of the
empire. The Czar himself, indeed, re
quested of the courtiers that they
should wait on the Princess and show
their respect and devotion to her, and
such a wish was of course not neg
lected. Only the legitimate members
of the Imperial family looked with
jealousy on the intruder ami held
aloof from the Court of the Upper
Story. When it was observed that
the Empress's illness was assuming a
threatening aspect, it was regarded as
a certainty that as soon as death had
restored the Czar his freedom of ac
tion it would not he long before he
would marry the Princess Dolgoruki.
Hardly had the Empress's decease
taken place last spring when all eyes
were directed to the upper story of the
Winter Palace. It was, however, with
genuine surprise that, four months af
ter the death of the Czarina, St. Peters
burg heard it whispered that the Sov
ereign had led his second consort to the
altar. Why this haste, it was asked,
since there had been no restrictions
whatever put on the connection, and
especially when such a violation of
the prescriptions of the Church and
of the national traditions could not
fail to offend the Russian people, who
are brought up in such strict regard
for both f The explanation is, per
haps, to he found in the health of the
Czar.
. The Sovereign is now ageing and a
sudden termination of his life, which
might occur at any moment, might
have prevented him giving the sanc
tion of marriage to a connection to
which he was so completely devoted.
For the asthma, by which the Czar
has for some years been afflicted, is
growing worse and his general condi
tion of body is constantly becoming
weaker. For his new consort the Em
peror has made provisions in various
ways. Among other things, he has
bought for her the palace of the Grand
Duchess Catherine at a cost of 2,000,-
000 roubles, and it is said that he has
already given it to his consort, It is,
however, in Livadia that the Czar in
tends to fix his |>ermanent residence
after the promulgation of the marriage.
Betrayed by the Truth.
Krofn !l*r|."t'• Magazine.
The very amiable and worthy occu
pant of the position of British Vice
Consul at a port in the far East had
often expressed to his American fellow
j residents his great desire to visit their
country ami make himself familiar
with some of its institutions. His
ideas of the West had been formed
from a perusal of the works of Coop
er, ami it is to he feared that his
interlocutors had purposely abstained
from disturbing his somewhat highly
colored expectations. Finally n fur
lough came to him, and he made ready
to carry out his cherished plan of a
trip home by the way of the Pacific
ocean and the United States. Intro
ductions werq given him to trusty
practical jokers in Kan Francisco,
which he presented on arrival with
expressions of vehement desire to en
counter Indians and hunt buffaloes.
This, he was told, would be easy, as
both abounded in the neighborhood of
the Cliff House and in the peaceful
and prosaic suburb of Oakland. An
expedition was planned and carried
out, and the British brother, armed to
the teeth, performed great deeds in
the encounter with "practicable" In
dians aud buffaloes —furnished, it was
whispered, by a theatre and a circus
or menagerie. Exulting in the praise
of his American friends, and covered
with glory, he departed for New York
and England. His fume stood him in
good stead at dinners and other social
gatherings during his entire vacation,
preceded him on his return to his poet,
and made him ouite a hero among his
fellow-exiles. No American could find
it in his heart to disturb it, and all
might have gone well to this day had
he only confined himself to his charac
ter of amateur Leathorstocking. One
day, however, a countryman of his
came to a "Yankee" and denounced
this hero. "Just think of that, M—
said he, " trying to sell us. Ity Jove!
I never heard in all my life, you know,
such atrocious stories as he has been
telling us. What do you think he
tried to make us believe! It is all
very fine to have shot no end of In
dians and buffaloes. Of course, you
know where there are so many as there
are in San Francisco and New Hamp
shire and Niagara and all these places,
a plucky fellow might do that. Hut
he has actually tried to make us be
lieve the most extraordinary story that
you have ever heard about your coun
try, you know. He says that he went
to a place called Chicago, and lie went
to draw some money from a bank and
found that they had raised it up and
were moving it, with all the fellows
inside, you know, going 011 with their
work. I say, just fancy the check of
of the fellow,supposing he could make
us believe that 1" Alas! the one true
story which the poor Consul told hail
proved his undoing.
LOST IN A NTOKM.
TIIF, DANCERS WHICH ILKSET TIIOGE WHO CO
DOWN TO THE SEA IN 81111*8.
Ji'uu Franco!* Millet, in Scilbner'* Monthly.
It was All Saints' day ; in the morn
ing we saw that the sea was very
rough, and every one said there would
be trouble; all the parish was in
church ; in the middle of mass we
saw a man come in dripping wet, an j
old sailor, well known for his bravery, j
He immediately said that as he came j
alongshore he saw several ships, which, I
driven by a fearful wind, would cer
tainly shipwreck on the coast. "We
must go to their assistance," said lie,
louder, "and 1 have come to say to all
who are willing, that we have only :
just time to put to sea to try to help '
them." About fifty men offered them- ■
selves, and, without speaking, followed
the old sailor. We got to the shore by
going down the cliif, and there we
soon saw a terrible sight —several ves- 11
sels, one behind the other, driving at 1:
a frightful speed against the rocks, j
Our men put their boats to sea, but j
they had hardly made ten strokes j
when one boat fille<l with water and ;
sank, the second was overturned with ,
the breakers and the third thrown up
on shore. Happily no one was drown
ed and all reached the shore. It was
easy to see that our boats would be no
me to the poor people upon the ships. ■
Meantime the vessels came nearer and
were only a few fathoms from our |
black cliffs, which were covered with
cormorants. The first, whose masts
were goue, came like a great mass.
Every one ou shore saw it coming ; no
one dared to speak. It seemed to me;
a child, as if death was playing with a
handful of men, whom it intended to
crush and drown. An immense wave
lifted itself like an angry mountain,
and, wrapping the vessel, brought her
near, and a still higher one thew her
upon a rock level with the water. A
frightful cracking sound —the next in
stant the vessel was filled with water.
The sea was covered with wreckage—
-1 planks, masts and poor drowning crea
tures. Many swam and then disap
peared. Our men threw themselves
into the water, and, with the old sailor
at their head, made tremendous efforts
to save them. Several were brought
hack, but they were either drowned or
broken on the rocks. The sea threw
1 up several hundred, and with them )
merchandise and food. A second ship '
approached. The masts were gone.
- Every one was on deck, which was
, full ; we saw them nil on their knees,
- and a man in black seemed to bless
' them. A wave as big as our cliff ear*
■ ried her toward us. We thought we
heard a shock like the first, but she
held staunch and did not move. The
waves beat against her, but she did !
not budge. Hue seemed petrified. 'ln
an instant every one put to sea, for it •
was only two gunshots from shore. A
boat was made fast nlou^sidc; our
boat was filled instantly ; one of the
boats of the ship put off, threw out
plunks and boxes, and in half an hour
every one was on shore. The ship had
been saved by a rare accident; her
howspirit and fore part had got wedged
1 in between two rocks. The wave j
I which had thrown her on the reefs
' had preserved her as if by a miracle.
■ She was English, and the mnn who
■ Messed his companions was n bishop,
i They were taken to the village ami
: soon after to Cherbourg. We all weut
• back again to the shore. The third
' ship was thrown on the breakers, dash
, ed into little bits, and no one could be
i saved. The bodies of the unhappy
■ crew were thrown up on the sand. A
. fourth, fifth and sixth were lost, ship
i and cargo, on the rocks. The tempest
t was terrific. The wind was so violent
I that it was useless to try to oppose it.
i It carried off the roofs and the thatch.
1 It whirled so that the birds were kill
) ed—even the gulls, which are accus
i turned, one would think, to storms.
• The night was passed in defending the
n houses. Home covered the roofs with
s heavy stones, some carried ladders and
s poles and mnde them fast to the roofs.
1 Ihe trees bent to the ground and
i cracked and split. The fields were
i covered with branches and leavea. It
I was a fearful scourge. The next day,
, All Houls' Day, the men returned to
, the shore. It was covered with dead
s bodies and wreckage. They were taken
1 up and placed in rows along tho foot
I of the cliffs. Heveral other vessel#
came in sight; every one was lost on
our coast. It was a desolation like
the end of the world. Not one could
be saved. The rock smashed them
like glass, and threw them in atoms to
the cliff's. Passing a hollow place, I
saw a great sail covering what looked
like a pile of merchandise. I lifted
the comer and saw a heap of dead
bodies. I was so frightened that I
ran all the way home, where I found
mother and grandmother praying for
the drowned men. The third day
another vessel came. Of this one
they found possible to save part of
the crew, about ten men whom they
got otf the rocks. They were all torn
and bruised. They were taken to
Grouchy, cared lor a mouth and sent
to Cherbourg. Hut the poor wretches
were not rid of the sea. They em
barked on a vessel going to Havre ; a
storm took them and they were all
lost. As for the dead, all the horses
were employed lor a week in carrying
them to the cemetery. They were
buried in uuconsccratcd ground ; pco
ple said they were not good Christians.
.Modern Itee Culture.
M. Iloulaiid in llitrper'a Magnr.ltie.
Perhaps in no field of modern in
dustry, whose watchword is progress,
and whose special characteristic is
economy of muscular jower, is the
importance of scientific method more
strikingly exemplified than in bee cul
ture. Could the dreamer of a century
ago have looked into the magic mirror
of the future, I think the mighty en
gines of our day that chisel and plane
and mould solid iron as if it were pot
ter's clay, or that do the most delicate
work with an accuracy ami an ease
that the human eye and hand could
never equal, would hardly have aston
ished l.im more than would the sight
of one of our great modern apiaries,
with its bees pasturing upon acres of
carefully cultivated honey plants,
raising queens by the score for the
market at the will of their master,
and economizing their time and labor
by using machine-made comb ! Thin
plates of wax passed between the roll
ers of a machine come out in thin
sheets of double hexagonul cells so
perfect that the bees approve the
work, though they always thin the
walls considerably and of course build
them higher. At one time the cell
bottoms were made flat; hut as the
bees would always reconstruct them
after their own ideas—that is, concave
the six sides forming three lozenges
meeting in the centre, the machines
were made to satisfv the fastidious bee
in this particular. In the great apiary
every scrap ami shaving of old comb
is melted, strained and made into
clean golden sheets of foundation; for
the machine can do what the bee has
no power to do —make new comb out
of old. Wax is a secretion under tl\e
rings of the bee's body. It is thrown
off, apparently at will, in tiny scales,
which are plastic from the warmth of
tlie body, and after being laid and
moulded they cool and harden. The
bee is an artist whose work, like that
of the fresco painter, must be j>erfect
at first, for there is no rubbing out, or
undoing in any way, except by utterly
destroying.
Comb foundation has another and
far greater merit than that of saving
labor to the bee ; it secures a jierfectlv
even, straight comb for each frame.
< >r into the large frame there may be
set eight little one-pound frames, each
with its foundation " starter," and if
these are placed in a second nive set
; on the top of the first, the liecs will
very rarely rear broods iu them,
but fill them with clear honey. Thus
we have tho beautiful little pound
frames of capped honey.
The invention of the movable frame
was of the utmost importance to bee
i culture; it was impossible to have a
colony of bees under control without
it. These frames completely fill the
whole hive except the space of about
half an inch between every two
frames. You lift off' your hive cover,
which fits nicely without any fasten
ing, nnd your colony is under
your eye. If "u wish to examine
your queen, you lift out one frame
after another, search for her among
the mass of bees covering the comb,
always replacing the frame carefully
without crushing your bees. As a
rule bees do not sting. They are the
most patient, long-suffering, gentlest
little beings in the world. I have of
ten and often opened a hive in this
way, lifting out frame after frame,
removing all the honey from one or
more, and to do this brushing off the
bees by hundreds with a wing; step
ped upon or otherwise crushed several
bees in the operation, nnd vet without
receiving a sting, unless { had awk
wardly pinrhed a bee or squeezed him
against my flesh, when, of course, I
deserved my punishment, nnd took it
philosophically. And this without
using the smoker, but of course it is
more prudent to use it.
Another wonder of modern bee
culture is a peculiar method of ex
tracting the honey from the comb by
means of a tin cylinder with a verticle
shaft in the centre. It has a bottom
HIUI a tightly fitting cover through
which the shaft projects. The shaft
is furnished with a crank. Bheets of
comb, or frames full of comb, are set
perpendicularly in a framework fitted
to the shaft. On turning the crank
rapidly the honey flies out by cen
trifugal force, leaving intact the brood
cells if there are any. The honey ex
tracted, the frames are returned to the
hives, and the patient little bees clean
up every "smob" of honey, mend
every torn cell, if there be any, ami
theu go to work refilling the comb
with honey.
Extracted honey is certainly the
perfection of the product, though hon
ey in the comb as yet brings the high
er price. I'eople say it is because it
is more beautiful to the eye ; but this
cannot be true. Served iu a stand of
chrystal, extracted or clear honey,
golden in color, and translucent as the
chrystal itself, —what object more ele
gant upon a well appointed tea table ?
THIS is the season of the year when
bud Indians commence signing trea
ties of peace and drawing government
blankets for the winter.
