THE KILLING OP ALEXANDER II ,
The shadow which for the laa1
fifteen years has been brooding over
the life of the ill fated Emperor o ;
Russia hss deepened into night. The
hand of what the world Trill call an
assassin has accomplished its purpos
and Eoropo stands appalled at the fear

the largest empire en the face of the

FraYco lnhis method of government ,
'the ' late emperor mnct be .given credil
for accomplishing during the quarter
of a-century in which ho ruled over
JEtucsia , a number of important politi
cal innovations. It was ho who in
1861 , against the will of the nobles o !
the empire , . .emancipatedtwenty mil
lions jof serfs and decreed the sep'ara
tlon of education and military disci
pline. In the early years of his reign
he'eylnced a tendency towards grant
log Important concessions looking
towards popular representation one
punished official corruption and petty
tyranny'with a merciless hand.
Jt" was only after the first attack
upon-hls lifo in April , I860 , that the
policy , of concession with which the
czar opened his rolgn gave place to a
rl ld. proscription of every tendency
towards constitutional liberty and a
retrogression to the old methods of his
predecessors. _
The nihilistic movement , rhich will
b'e held * responsible for the death ol
the czar , is the natural protest ol
antnslared nation in the 10th century
against a system of government based
on those of the dark ages. The per
sistent refusal of the , czar to give to
iis subjects some of the elements of
popular representation was alone Re
sponsible for the originrcmlh anil
development of-nihiliam. Presenting
the spectacle of the only civilize" ! coa-
'inental government which iad resist-
'ed all appeals ofhor people.towards"
Bomblance of popuIacjrepresentaCion
it was not strange that with' the
qrowth of education and the diffusion
of intelligence , ' secret organization
should nttemptiio secure thai which
had been denied to open protest and
popular sentiment. A general feeling
was prevalent , in tha empire5'that
what the czVf could not accomplish ,
his heir apparent both could and
would. Urgent attempts were made
to ! indnco ; him to abdicate
ftei favor of his aon who iras consider
ed more in accord with the national
aspirations , and who , it was believed
would follow the example of Austria ,
Germany , Prussia , Denmark ' , and
Spain , and give to tne Russian people
least a nominal share in the na
tional governmont. Failing in this ,
Nihilism determined to accomplish
their end by taking tha lifo of the
emperor , and after four unsuccessful
attempts , it jias gained the purpose
which it sought to secure.

THE TKADE IN FLOWERS.
FLORAL .DECORATIONS FOR DIFFICULT
OCCASIONS.
New York Trituno.
The unusually largo number of so
cial gatherings in this city this winter
and the severe weather of the last two
months have considerably raised the
price of cut flowers. The.custoui that
133 sprung up within the last few days
of a lavish display of flowers on all
possible occasions weddings , funor-
ils and receptions has induced florists
to exert themselves to the utmost in
: he production of elabora'o and tasto-
: ul designs , constructed of such flowers
as coem most appropriate to the occa
sion. Nowadays the floral decorations
at a fashionable wedding , dinner or
reception are a noticeable feature. For
the construction of a bouquet or de
sign considerable skill , ingenuity and
: aste on the part of the florist is ab
solutely necessary. The old saying
; hat true art is perfect harmony of de
rails is perhaps nowhere better illua-
: rated than In the correct grouping of
iho flowers of different slzos , shapes
and color * .
In the moro pretentious florists'
shops trained male assistants , whose
natn employment ia the arranging of
jouquets , are employed. They are
nearly all Frenchmen or Germans ,
who have been bred to this work in
; heir native lands , where far moro at-
ientlon is paid to scientific and ays-
; ematlc floriculture than in this coan-
; ry. A prominent and experienced
dealer in this city , In speaking about
the increase in thi taste for flowers ,
said , recently : "In the last thirty
years there has been a remarkable in
crease in the UBO of flowers for' deco
rative purposes. Tears ago the elab
orate patterns in cut flowers that , can
now bo seen at any weddinsr , funeral ,
or public occasion were unknown. In lie
wreath the base liet
making a was usually a
piece of willow or a'barrel hoop ; if a 11vri
cross , two pieces cf lath formed the vriH
groundwork , and the whole dovlco ; eic
when completed was such as reflected for ic
little credit upon the artist. Now
everything { 3 changed , there is no de
vice or design , however intricate and To
complicated , thnt can not bo con
structed at a first-class establishment.
Crosses , harps , stars , lyres and devices -
vices figurative of the vocation of the
deceased person are much in vogue
for funerals , while the pretty English w <
innovation of the wedding bell , made ro
usually of white roses and other deli r roiC
cately tinted flowers , is now very
fashionable. Among the queerest
devices that I have made
p were Greek letter mon
ograms presented by college
fraternities to orators at commence
ment axercists In 1844 the sale of
flowers for New Year's day , in what feat
was then the largest florist shop iu the
city , amounted to only § 200 , and pro-
baoly for the whole city of liew York
did not exceed § 1000. Now the
amount spent for floral decorations on J.
that day ia estimated at § 50,000 , while
for the whole year the amount spent
in these perishable ornaments amounts
, hundreds of thousands of d l-
lars. There nrb almost 500 florists'
establishments -within a radius rf-ten Uifa
miles of Now York city , and the capi fa I
tal invested in land , structures and
stock is not lofa than § 8,000,000 Tha
green houses from which come iho
flowers , and plants that are sold ia

steatite , is a combination of silica an <
magnesia. It is soft and greasy , auc
hence it is sometimes called lardstone
From , its adaptability to making vessels
sels , in some sections'it is called po
rock , j When ground it is a soft
smoothe , greasy and almost impalpa
bio powder. No ono who has seen il
in its ground state 'will ques
tion i its almost diamond value
for adulteration. Candies , sugars
flour and butter , it is alleged , can bo
adulterated to the extent of 20 to 25
percent , without any chance of detec
tlon. " Fortunately detection in such
cases [ is not at all difficult. Dissolve
the suspected candy or sugar ; the in
soluble mineral will remain. Burn a
sample of suspected flour ; an excess
of ash will betray the cheat. Molt
ing andfiltering will do the same for
suspected lard of butter.
