Tlio Romanoffs.
The Romanoffs , the present rulers
of Rossia , came to the throne in the
person ot Michael R-manoff , who was
elected czar by the boyards or noble
men in 1612. The dynasty has been
ono of the most cruel , if not the most
cruel and despotic , in modern history.
Its harah raeasurei found their cul
mination in Nicholas , who closed his
career in death during the * Crimean
war , and waa succeeded by Alexander
II , who waa publicly crowned in Mos
cow in ,1856. His tirfctjiidasures were
directed toward putting" the finances
en a sound basts , and to restoring the
army , relaxing the military routine
that hid prevailed for more than
twenty years , encouraging industry
and commerce , granting a general
amnesty to political offenders , both
Russians and Poles , and encouraging
schemes of internal improvements.
He turned a careless ear to the secret
Inquisition Known as "The Third
Division , " and allowed it to fall into
decay. Before his father's death bo
had conceived the idea of emanci
pating the 23,000,000 serfs of Russia ,
and on March 3 , 1861 , he promulga
ted the scheme , which was carried out
in the course of the two years follow
ing. The slaves were never chattels
like the slaves of our country , aridj so
far as the laws went , were loss com
pletely at the mercy of their masters ,
but were inseparably annexed to the
estates on which they lived , nnd paid
a labor rent of three days , ta
week for the land they
cultivated , or held in common. By
the emancipation scheme they vrcro
given their personal liberty and ena
bled to purchase lands on a capitalized
value of the rent , the government ad
vancing four-fifths of the sum on 5
par cent , bonds , the same to bo repaid
in installments spread over forty-nine
years , so that the whole scheme will
not be complete till 1910. Those
serfs who did not take advantage of
these terms of purchase continued to
owe tribato in labor or money Ic their
former lords. Nearly 6,000,000 strfs
availed themselves of the decree , and
now own 50,000,000 acres of land. In
1865 the czar hwdoau abortive attempt
to eatabliah local representlive assem
blies. After the attempt upon his life
in 18G6 ha revived "tho third divis
ion , " and more recently strengthened
and extended its powers tilt it sur
passed the "secret inquisition" of
Nicholas as an instrument of ven
geance nnd oppression. Ho advanced
furtner than any of his predecessors
in the traditional policy of the R -
manoff house of territorial aggrandize
ment. He pushed the eastern frontier
of the empire eastward from the Cas
pian sea to the confines of China and
sla's naval supremacy in those waters ,
drove the Turks south of the Balkans ,
and made Bulgaria and Roumalia
bases for future operations , if neces
sary , against Constantinople. Ho was
always on friendly terms with the
United States , and in 1867 sold his
American possessions to this country
for 57,000,000.

CHICAGO , March 1C , 4 p. m. DIa
patches from the west and northwes
are still burdened with waitings over
the blockade. At Yr.nkton , D. T. ,
ne mail haa been received from the
east since last Friday , and with open
weather it will be several dys before
the roads can be cleared. Fuel and
provisions are low and in many of the
smaller towns around there is actual
suffering. Superintendent Jeffoy , pf
the Illinois Central , and several 'of his
subordinates with gaugVuT'worktncir
have "boon snow bound on tha Sioux
City line at Marcua , la. , for a week.
Trains are scattered on all points on
that division , some of them being en
tirely abandoned. A week of good
weather would see ail the Iowa lines
open. The Northwestern rosd. west
of Sleepy Eye , it is said , cannot be
opened for a month. There are
bridges covered twenfy feat under
the snow , banks and cuts miles in
length and twenty feet deep are
filled level full with solid mow
and ice. The St. Paul road hired
three hundred men to shovel enow
at § 1.25 per day aud their boird. Af
ter working one d.iy they struck /or
§ 1.50 and were discharged , their
places being readily filled. Msny
workmen on all the roads hare been
stricken with enow blindnena , with
which they suffer severely , nnd have
to bo confined in d rk room ? .
One party if men , blockaded for
ten days named the place ' 'Drift-

not seasick nor homesick but snow-
sick. Tha St. Paul company has 15-

Aaron Burr and Mrs Hamilton.
When on nn official visit to th
United Slates in 1853 I spent a day
or two * t Mr. Stuart Browne's place
on the Now Jersey shore of the Hud
son river , above Hoboken. General
Taylor , of Ohio , was another 'gueit ,
and as the house was at no great dis-
tsnco from the pt where the fatal
duel between Burr and Hamilton
took place ( July 12 , 1804) ) , a conver
sation arpsa on the event , nn.i the
characteristics , public and private , of
the two men. Gen. Taylor told us
that when a very young man studying
at West Point , he was one diy on
board a river boat , nnd Rmong the
passengers were Mrs. Hamilton ,
widow of Alexander Hamilton , and
Aaron Burr , who had returned to the
states fter his enforced absence in
Europe in consequence of his proved
treasonable practices. Burr waa then
nn old man , but still retained much
of his former confidence and manner ,
especially with ladies. To the aston
ishment of these who know hln , on
discovering that Mrs.- Hamilton was
on board the steamboatho approached
her , took off hla hatv and , bowintr ,
said , "Mrs. Hamilton , I believo. My
naine'is Barr. " The efi'ect on the lady , .
now well stricken in years , was elec
tric. Rising from her.seat , she gath
ered up her'dress , as if to touch Burr
would bo contamination , drew herself
up , and , looking at him from head to
foot , atTopt away with a dignity and
grace worthy of her beat days , and
left him Btauiing abashed , if ho were
capable of feeling so , bsfore the spec
tators. Barr replaced his hat upsn
hla head , and slowly moved bask to
the seat ho had left purposely to make
this experiment npon the feelings of
the widow of the man ha had elaiii ,
for ono cannot believe thathohc.d any
intention to apologl o. or explain ,
ainco this wai Impossible.
