THE MAI) CZAB.
Panl L was known among his sub
jects, and to the universe, as the Mad
Czar. It was the policy of Count
Pahlen. his favorite, and afterward the
ringleader of his assassins, to make his
master appear as insane as possible: he
enconragexi him in his vagaries. There
aever wis a man more uncertain, timid
and capricious, possessed alternately by
the fiends and anceLs; in one moment
he would be founif consigning, without
any obvious cause, the noblest of his
subjects to disgrace and exile, the next
you misht see him with tears in his
eyes benignly bending over some
wounded soldier in the military hos
pitaL As the years went on these lat
ter moods of tenderness became fewer:
he grew suspicions, bitter and restless,
the unhappiest man of his vast empire.
Shortly after Paul's accession to the
throne he arrogated to himself omnis
cience 'and infallibility. He could not
be deceived, and he could not be mistaken-
By intuition he detected the sins
and thoughts of his courtiers, who. in
deed, found it lucrative to confess tneir
designs asainst the State on the plea
that darkness could not hide them from
Paul, occasionally inventing misde
meanors when they were at a pinch for
real ones. The ptea of innocence of
any crime of which the Czar charged
you. headed the list of crimes. Infalli
bility fitted Paul to be an authority in
all departments of life and thought.
Theology, war, man-millinery, phi
lolosy, chrch. ritual, etiquette, sad
dlery, architecture, education, felt in
turn the touch of his reforming hand.
By a ukase he evangelized the lapsed
masses of Russia in a day, rilling the
churches with worshippers, an-1 tne cun
ffcsionaLj with penitents waose devo
tion and remorse were fired by visions
of the knout: the local authorities were
instructed to march the reputed lioer
tines of their districts to churcn m pro
cession between two row3 of soldiers.
The issue of an imperial decree for
bidding the wearing of round hats,
frock-coats, vests without sleeves and
pantaloon was supposed to be a means
of gratifying a srrudge Paul bore toward
Englishmen. His "aversion to round
hats seems to have bien constitutional.
It was more expeLent tnar tne hateful
garment should be pneribed than the
tranquility of aCzar-hould be disturheii.
The sudden apparition of crowds of
bare-headed gentlemen on tne -treets of
St. Petersburg announced the new de
cree: wnerever a round hat appeared it
was snatched by ambushed policemen,
and the muscular pedestrian wh
ventured to repel the assault and knocs
down the thief was carried before rue
court and fined. The combative En
lishrr.an was.of course.the chief actor in
these street broils. By the iniiuenee of
Sir Chariea Whitworth the ukase, so far
as it affected foreigners, was moiiiied:
the Chief ot the Police was instructed
not to confiscate tne head-dress, but to
detain its wearer till evidence was pro
duced that he was not a Russian either
by birth or naturalization. Paul- hatred
of hats was of old standing While Grand
Duke and living at Gatschina. he saw a
workman wearinirone. He caused the
man to be broucat before him. and ad
ministered to him a lecture on his in
decent attire. Turning to the Grand
Duchess. Paul asked for some pin-, and
raisinir the flap of the round hat, trans
formed it into a cocked one. and ordered
the workman to wear it so. till it was
past service. The ukase caused a run
on the -nop- for head-dresses that were
not a civil offense, and as the stock wa
soon exhausted, people had to walu; tne
streets bare-headed. or batter their hac
iato another category. An Ambassador
who ventured to laugh too loudly at
these eccentricities had his passports re
turned. Paul paid the dress of English
men the compliment of a special colice
decree. The costume he enioined was
a three cornered hat. a lonjr queue witn
a curl at the end of it. a sinrle-breasted '
coat and vest, buckles instead of latcnes i
at the knetr-breeches And the shoes. Qn
one occasion, seeing one of the hated
race wearing long boots, he sent some
policemen to cut them into the size of
shoes: but as the man refused to be
reformed, they dragged the boots off
and left him to go nome in hs stock
ings. It is written somewhere that a '
lady at court provoked the imperial dis-
pleasure by wearing her hair too low at i
the neck, and that as a punishment she !
was ordered into close confinement and
fed on bread and water. Aca:n. an
English servant was dragged from a
slecge and caned on the streei. for wear- ,
ing too thick a neck-cloth. The inhab- i
itants of St. Petersburg ded in all direc- '
tions when they saw tne Czar's carriage ;
in the distance, only to be followed 5v '
mounted Cossacks, who broncht them
back and compelled them to prostrate
themselves in the mud before His ilaj- ,
esty. A short-sighted Englishman, who !
pleaded defective vision when asked
why he had skulked down a back lane.
was ordered to wear spectacles. He !
was known in the Capital ever after
ward as '-the gentleman who wore spec
tacles by ukase."
The costume of cabmen was not be- '
neath the Czar's notice: he wanted
them, amonc: other thimrs. to shave
their long beards, and as many of them '
objected lo part with a single hair, the j
struggling culprit had to be held by
one police official while another shaved i
them. The method of harnessing I
horses was also regulated by law. the
new decree made the fortune- of tLe
saddlers of the L'apitaL Ten days were
allowed the nobility and rrentrv to pro-
vide themselves with the prescribed
equipments, after which the traces of
every carriage harnessed in the forbid
den fashion were cut. for a time th '
streets wcre littered with disabled veiii-
cles. Thereafter silence reigned, the i
crack of the whip and the voice of the !
coachman were unheard till the new !
caparisons were ready. Another ukase ,
swept the streets of the aristocracy and
fashion of Russia, it was that whieh re
vived prostration. As the Imperia
carriarre passod. the pedestrian had to
plump down on his knees, and the
equestrian and charioteer to alight and j
do similar homage, amid the snow and .
slush and mud. and the vengeance of J
an autocrat overtook the traitor who
neglected his duty. When the Czar
held a Drawing-room, the subject who
did not imprint a resonant kiss on the
Imperial hand, or whose knee alighted
imttpl
- , 1884.
ginjerly on the floor, was taught by a
cuff that sounds that reverberated
through the hall were needed to certify
to the genuineness of the osculation and
genuflection.
Paul's horses were admonished and
chastised if they forgot the respect due
to their owner. Once he convened an
extempore court of justice on the streeta
to try a horse which had just stumbled
with him: the brute the ridden one
was- sentenced to receive fifty lashes,
and after the castirarion it was rebuked
by the ridins one: "That, sir, is for
having stumbled with the Emperor."
Whiie riourishins: his cane in one of his
uncontrollable nts of anrer. he acci
dentally struck the branch of a lustre
and broke it- Indignant at the lustre
interposing itself as" an obstacle in his
way. he attacked it in right earnest and
beat it to a powder. His reply to Gen
eral Dumourez is worth reprodncinr
The General havinjr absented himself
from court one day." Paul asked him if
he had been unwelL No. sire; bus one
of the most important persons of your
court havincr asked me to dinner. I could
not refuse him.'

have you know that there is no person
of importance here except me and the

If an unexpected necessity for money
arises, make every possible effort to
economize to meet it without drawing
anything out of the bank. Keep your
self poor by the promptitude of your
deposits of what you get in a Savings

at rive per cent, is only a quarter of a
dollar a year. But the interest on ten
deposits of five dollars each is two dol
lars and fifty cents: and the interest on
a hundred " deposits of five dollars is
twenty-rive dollars.
As for the Savings-banks select the

in twenty years, to S:!.6o3-29: in thirty
years, to S4.o21.94. and even at four per
cent. SIjkjo will, in twenty years, dbu

A very singular marriage was one
which took place at Leicester, in the
einteeth year of Queen Elizabeth's
rehm. between Thomas Rilsby. a deaf
and dumb man. and Ursula Bridget, a
hearing and talkative pinister. As the
prayer-book required that the promises
of marriajre -hould be exchanged in
spoken words, the clergy and civil au
thorties of Leicester were unable to say
how this dumb man could be satisfac
torily married. In their perplexity they
appealed to the Bishop of London! who,
with the help of another member of the
clergy, devised a marriage service by
signs. The bride made her promise in
tne usual manner, and the groom did
his part thus: "Having nrstTernbraced
Ursula with his arms.he took her by
the hand and put the nuptial ring on
her finger. He then laid his right hand
significantly upon his heart, and after
