Of the Emperor Nicholas, who died a quarter of a century ago, a characteristic ancedote is told in diaries of Privy Coun cillor Boguslovski, recently published in St. Petersburg. As he was walking one day he heard a German artisan declare that he would not quit the spot until he had seen the Emperor, the latter went • toward him and demanded who he was and what he wished. The German, who did not know the Czar, answered that he was an artisen from Hamburg, and de sired to submit a paper describing a new and cheap m thod of making shoe soles for the Army. "Why do you apply di rect to the Emperor?" inquired the Czar, "wliy have you not first addressed your self to some one about him." "I wished ■> do so, and called on the Chief of Po lice for the purpose," returned the man, his clerk asked me to pay 300 rubles, which is impossible, as I have no money.' "Well, my fine fellow," said the Czar, "if you will only transact your business with the Emperor in person, speak up, for I am he." At this unexpected revelation the honest Hamburger was so terrified that, trembling from head to foot, he fell on his knees. In doing so his hat drop ped from his hand. The Emperor's dog, his almost constant companion, seizing the hat, began playing with it. The Em peror contemplated the seene with chara cteristic pride, hugely relishiugthe fright of the poor artisau. At last he pulled the hat from between the dog's teeth aud handing it, smiling, to the still kneeling Hamburger, said, "Do not be alarmed, my friend; give me your paper, I will have it examined. Meanwhile, come to the Palace, where you shall have a pecu niary indemnity for the fright you have Buffered." The Hamburger himself weut mad from fright, but his family received a regular pension. It is said that the game of "fifteen'' was invented by N. P. Chapman, post master of Canastota, N. Y. Our readers, especially those who are wrecked on "im possible combinations," will remember that this is the same individual whose office was robbed of a pipe, pair of boots, and other valuables not. loug since. The first oue of the games invented found its way into the hands of a Syracuse lady, who gave it to au invalid lady at Watcli Hill, R. I. This lady took it home to Ilartford, Conn., where it attracted con siderable attention. A Boston firm soon began manufacturing it. It was not long before two firms were engaged in the manufacture of the blocks. Firm No. 1 tried to block the game of No. 2, but could not because the invention was not paten ted. The puzzle is being manufactured at the rate of 2,000 a day. The number of possible combinations is said to be 1,397,- €74,368,000 hut there are hundreds of people who firmly believe there aie ten times as many ways in which it can't be done.— Utica Herald. It appears from a recent report submit ted to the House of Bepresentativcs by the Secretary of War that there are in the militia of the United States 145 generul officers, 921 generul staff officers, 1,605 regimental, field and staff officers, 6,198 company officers, making 8,869 commis sioned officers, and 117,037 non-epmmis sioned officers, musicians and privates, or 125,906 in all. These constitute the organized force in the several states in a condition of a greater or less efficiency. The whole number of men not organized but available for military duty, food for powder in an emergency, is 6.526,768. New York of course leads in strength, with 20,288 commissioned and non-com missioned officers, musicians and privates and 567,669 unorganized men. The Hon. Thomits C. Piatt, who is al ready a banker in Owego, a railroad man in Tioga County and a miner in Dead wood, has been for some time the general super intendent of the United States Express Company. He yesterday assumed the position of president of the Express Com pany, to which he was unanimously elect ed. Mr. Piatt is as accomplished a business man as he has proved himself fervent as a partisan. His acceptance of this new position probably indicates that after the next election he will not be willing to burden himself so much as heretofore with political cares. It must be said, howev er, that his political influence throughout the Sonthern Tier has, in spite of news paper hostility, steadily increased. A young man recently converted to re ligion took part lately in a prayer meeting at Lewiston. Me. During some remarks which he made, apparantly with perfect earnestness, he said, to the amazement of the audience: "It's no use, brethern, for us to strive so hard to go to heaven, for if we should happen to go to the other place Governor Garcelon and his Council will be there and count us out." NOTICE OF DISSOLUTION.— The partnership heretofore existing between C. P. & It. H. Patch was dissolved to-day. All accounts will be settled by It. U. Patch. The undersigned have formed a co-partnership under the horn name of Patch & Tracy. It. H. PATCH. W. G. TRACT, Towanda, Pa., March 1, 1880. N EURALGIA CURED BY DR.
