To believe the following story, which is recounted by a French historian, oue most remember that tin wont of a Russian Emperor or Empress has always been a vorv different thing from the word of an English King or Queen ; and that where ai. in this case che British cabinet would decide that her majesty was temporarily insaue. the Bassiau
lady would be considered only a little
more severe tfcan her predecessor.
In the time of Catherine the Second,
there dwelt in Russia a gentleniau
named Sontlerl anij, who, tnongh Knghu by birtli, had lreoome a Boseian subject,
ana also a gTint favorite with the ism' press. She ltiaded him with favors :
made him immensely wealthy; gavo him
a palace to Uvo in, and embrjused iuni
paoueiy.
Whit more ;oa1d a foveroiga do to show cer affeeaon for a subject? Her partial iiy was so well-known that
the greatest people at Ckmrt sought his favor and fair ct his frown ; bat he was very pleassur; and good-hearted perfion, who thought nioro of his dress ap pearanee, and the effect he produced ou the fair sex, than anything else ; and it was rather a benefit to the community than otherwise that he should have tho ear of the Empress. He, himself, was perfectly happy, and spent a great deal

The poet it.stantly threw down Ids paper, and, delighted w th this proof oi iwnlidenee on the part of the sovereign, excused himselt to i'.s friends, and hurried to the rooxa whtre Beliew was waiting for him. The Chief of Poll sat leaning back in his chair, with a very grave face, and saluted the Englishman ss a ja ler might salute a piisoiu r whom hd was aboot to lead to execution. " What can I do for you, Keliew ?" asked Sondetiand, with a condescending twist of his nmstacbe. see you are in trouble, and it was well to come tome at oaee. The mpress was kinder than usual yesterday, aud expressed herself more anxious t take my advice than she 1ms ever done tie lore; so have no fears. I esteem yon, Beiew. I consider you my best friend. "Ah!" said the Chief of Police, doubtfully. "And 1 1 un very sure I have a true friendship for yon; hut I regret to say I Lave terrible news for you.

"So one loses the favor of royalty," sighed Keliew. "Perhaps you have admired a pretty woman. " "No, no," replied Sonderland. " The Empires told me nothing, said Belkiw; "nothing whatever. She gave me her commands, and bade me accomplish them at t:noe. But they are too horrible! too horrible V "Am I to be sent away?" asked Sonderland. " You could be very happy in soma other country.

Have the words The Favorite of the Empress, in letters of gold on a black pklestal three feet in height," "There, my poor Sonderland, yon ve," sail the Chief of Police, "it is not I who have gone mad. " " Then it is the Empress," sa'd Sonderland. " Unhappy sovereign, she has lost her mind. "Alt tho worse for as, sighed the
wretched Busman. "As soon as I felt sure of her real
meaning, I fell on my knees and begsred
her not to intrust the terrible news to
me ; to reconsider her intention. I hardly knew what I snid. For answer she
pointed to the door.
"it Bonoenatta is not taken to the taxidermist within an hour, vou shall be
tenanted and sent to Siberia,' she said.
Wretch that X am, I am here with the
news."
"Let me see the Empress; let me
know what-1 have done. Let me write.

"I dare not," stud the Chief of Police. I have a wife and seven children. Yon

Empress only wished to play a pineries.'
joke npon them, and pitying his friend
for his terror and the grief he snffered. after a few moments more, arose and offered to go with him at once. Wrapping themselves in their f nrs, both men
jumped into the sleigh at the door.
Meanwhile he had written a letter to
the Empress, aud calling a servant, dispatched it by him. As yet no one
guessed at the reason of this visit from
the tJhiet of Jfouce, and the servant had no fears coneemiinr the safety of his er
rand.
Meanwhile the two getlemen pro
ceeded together to the house of the taxidermist, Gottschekoff, Sonderland yet hopeful for an JSngtiiihman could not
believe that such a command could be
given in earnest the Bussian half mnd
with horror. In fact,- in delivering the
command of the Empress he lost command of his voice and fainted away. The taxidermist himself grew pale. "This is my sentence of death, as well as yours," he said to Sonderland.
for I do not know how to stun a man,
and I know what Empresses are. I
shall have to try, of course, but I don't
think it can be done.
"1 am sure it is onlv a jest of our
sovereign's," said Sondarland.
Ihe Kussians snook their heads. But
at this instant a loud tramping wan
heard, and armed men entered, seized npon the Chief of Police, Sonderland and
the taxidermist, forced them into (.
sleigh aud drova madlaway to the Roy
al raiaoe.
Sonderland still kept his courage. A
man knows well enough when a woman really likes him, but the Bussiana knew that if the Empress had lost her senses, her maddest mandate must be obeyed Perhaps they would now be all stuffed.
xjsd into the royal presence, ther
found Catherine furiously pacing the
floor.
" Wretched madman." she shrieked
to the poor Chief of Police, " what have yon been about? "
The poor fellow fell upon his knees. " My Empress," he cried, "endeavor
ing to obey vou, though it broke my heart.'
'And you. beast? " she cried to the
taxidermist.
The taxidermist also prostrated him
self with his teeth chattering in his
beast.
Mv Empress," said Sonderland. of
fering her tLe paper tha had written,
here is your royal mandate. There
were some difficulties (purely profes
sional) fat the way of stumng me.
Otherwise I should have been aireadv
in an attitude of supplic&tion on a black marble pedestal, I make ho doubt."
"Ureal Heaven! cried Catherine. My friend my most faithful and most
earnest friend how dared you believe
me capable of such a thing? And yon, idiots, get up." And she spurned ths
orouching men with her royal foot. "It
was my dog, my favorite spaniel whora
bad named alter tms dear Bonderlar.il
because he was so handsome that I
vrdered you to sttuX He died last mgb 1 .
The whole palace knew that. Good
heavens 1"
The absurdity of the mistake forcavl
itself upon the royal minct at this instant Catherine, in the midst Of her rage, began to laugb, and ended by growing
gond-natnred.
"Amusimr idiots." she said, "go, ana
always obey me as well as you have done to-day. I see, at least, that you
meant well.
And thereupon the Chief of Police and
the taxidermist crept aw; y, thankful jor their lives, to convey the dead dog to its
destination, mnd Sonderland went to lunch with the Empress, who leant upon his shoulder as they walked togethei through the Palaca.

Then Lather Gmtvan, worthy man as he may have have been in all other reApecui, was insane npon religion, aud he forced young Guiteau to enter the Oneida Community, which was the vestibule oi hell, i'rom that hour, Itoed ondeavored to show by GuitoauV letters, wbich tho prosecution had introduced, and by tho testimony of tho Government witnesses, tbo prisoner was

Haw the Cearts Ineoarage Criminals. A couple of cattle thieves &i Son Jose were couvieted in 1879 and sentenced to five years' imprisonment in San Qnentux In writing out the verdict a jnryi.mii improperly spelled the word defendants. The document read : ' We find the ilefondances guilty." Ou this quibble ihe case of oe of the thieves was appenleil to the Supreme Court After long pondering on the weighty subject, that august tribunal derailed in the thief's favor. 'Ihe case is not one of striking importance, save that it illustrates whut is constantly ocenrring in oiircourH Tho law no longer inquires: "Is this inan a thief? Is he a swindler? la he a murdorer? Did he acititlly commit the crime he is charged with?" On tho contrary, it turns Us large nianifying glass on th. case and practically eays: "Is there liny nosib!e technicality by means of whic i this worthless scoundrel can be shiuldol from punishment? If there is, we wmit to find it." The law seiiks to exclude from the jury-box men who read the daily papers and who are wide awaXo and iuteiligont, and, in the rase under discussion, nullifies a verdict bocaust', naturally enough, a juryman is too ig norant to spell correct y. A thief is turned loose, not bectuise he is innocent, but because a juryman proves to lie ignorant, 'ihe juryman was really on tria:, at grefrt expense to the public, instead of the thief. The investigation was one concerning orthography and not cattlesteal ing, as was erroneously snpiKKscd. And this is what they call law iu California an article that costs tax payers and litigants vasts sums of money annually. Oar courts liave become arenns in which technical esthetes assemble to split hairs, strain at legal gnats aud sat e the guilty from punishment, oaf Frm-

" If," he exolaimed, " I were to sum up the moral and Intel ectnal qualities of this scan, I should say that he bad mo daring of a vulture, combined witu tho heart of a wolf.'' Iu spoaking of Guitoau's plau, be remarked upon his greater fear of tho mob than of the law, ami exclaimed : "We mn:i! sav, to our shajne, that this estimate had a foundation It rested" he added "with ino jury io snow the worm wnetnor Gn teau's opiuion was well found sd. If he had feaitd the law as ho feared tho mob, our martyred head and chief would be alive to-dy." Mr. Davidge took up in order tha case of each member of tho Guiteau raniiiy nron wboco uiontnt condition ovideeco had been offered by defense, and recited iu connection counter-evidence cf tbe prosecution, sumi uug up tbe force of tt is evidence with thereuark: '-lint the unanswerable testimony of experts fettles tho question how much effect this liollateial insanity could have upon the mental cond-tion of tbe prisoner. It :s but the merest oiOi-kery to discut s this question, iu view of the undoubted ability of tnis man to distinguish between righs and wrong." Guiteau rnterrnptod once, and shouted: "I havs always been a (.'unsuui man, and : or six
years have been strictly virtuous. .Dor -t forget thai, either."
Jjavidge conunued: "'more ts nor a single fact, or siogle lot or tittle, to chowTUint this

The jury wi l find that tbe defense have uareinlly picked out aud held up to view everything in tho entire career of this man whioh may be considered odd or pecnliar,and it is for you to consider how much valuo can be attached to this evidence, when yon come to consider whether this man did not know on tho 2d of Jn!y that it was wrong for him to kill the Chief li.igislraio of the nation."
Jlr. Davidge then took np the Omeda Ct mmnnity, and spoke of Guitean's wallowing there for tx years. Guiteau shouted:- "And I say it is fa sa. I didn't wallow, I'm Inst as pure is you ar-i.

to save my son), not from lust. Put that down, Darijge, and don't yon forget it."
Mr. Davidire discussed the evidence cf Charles
H. Itoed, who conversed w:tU the prison sr Uio Tuesday liefore tho shooting, and who tbougbt he appeared " a little off his balance." ' And this, mark you," said Mr. Uavidgo, " in tbo extent of his evidence as to that day. Hi was never asked if he thought he was unable to distinguish between right and wrong. Is it so very strange, gentlemen, that this prisoner should have appes,red queer, when at tUitverr timii he was carry .ug in his breast this monstrous crirrrt-?"

Davidgo tmimi'd bis argument far tho prosecution, and tperit the day in a matttr-of-fact and, at timoti, rather tedious review of tbo evidence. Passirc lightly ever tlw more nnimportaut parts he Mid marked emphatic upon the damaging testimony oi John W. Gaiteau, who. he said, was a most nn rilling witness agaiiiBt bis brother, but who was obliged, as a man or truth and honor, to affirm :he prisoner'a sauily and his hateful, domineering, egotisliu temper. John Guiteau s KatinntiT, at the time it was rendered, was universally commented npon as very bad for tbe dnfeuio, and tiiChkiUfnl nso nude of it by Mr. Eavidge s:.owg what importance the prosecution ittuchtd to it This witness was from the very lirit oppOHi-d to the pica of hereditary insanity, ax it toucbo.1 himself mid his children sb nearly as it dirt the pristner. Hence ho rendeied Ihe pDj.'c.ition'voiy nr.aterial help in attacking this !'i.e of deft nsf. Hit understood thai he feels very indignant at Mr. Scoville for mating this throrv ho prom neut, and that arfcer tho trial is concluded he wil. set himself right before the public on tho matter. Mr. Davidgp, tibile he in no wise encouraged Guiteau's interruptions, noticed them whore it at rvf d his purpjsc, iind or. several oc jasions made them the tent fof apropos and t lling oomment. His description of tho prisoner's own testimony was given in graphic sentences. He had been put on the stand, said Mr. Davidge. as a last hope, but, so far from sustaining tbe defense, he bad removed any d'-ubt. which remained as to his sinity. He then coniJitn'pdonGu'to.iu'soharoctor as t-sstifled to by several of the wituesnes for tbo prosccnIioil showini: thnt lie was a tborouch scoun

" He may bo a crank," said the speaker, Msornfully, ""but he is responsible enough to bo hanged." He proceeded to direnss the medical testi aony, Taking np tho hypothetical question of the defense and claiming that its bases wi re not sustained by ihe evidence. He also pointed out that tbe inquiry begged the question it issuo and was artlully incomp'ete and unfair. ' Tbeu hot. trued to the nisuiratirm theory. "If ho was inspired," said Mr. Davidge, "ltwisfioni the devil not from God. Substitute dovil for God, and tbe meaning of much of this prcmnre is claar. Guiteau struggled against it j,b overy man trmptod of the devil struggles, bur. ho did not resint. He succumbed, and sin brought forth death," As the orator drew his rpeooh to a closo tho prisMior made several of uistpitcfnl demonstrations, and singled out Corkbui for another tirade of abuse, quoting, as be has often quoted before, tbe notion of the mills of tho gods. Ho said that tlioy would, in tlieir grinding, make slow but sure work of Oorkhili. roirnr-rotmxB at. At the opening of court Gnitean stated that he had thirty checks, representing about 15.000. some of which were worthless, and ihit he wanted no more of th latter kind. When Mr. Scoville asked if tho prisoner would bo allowed to speak to the jury, the assassin exclaimed that be wouldn't trust his case in tho baud of the lest lawyer in America, Judge Cox
said it was safe to assume that jGuitean would abuse tho privi'cco 1 of

If I could only liavi, a talk with that jury, I won'd give them Uio right theory." FOUTT-Finn DAV. George Scoville began bis argument for ths defense, and consumed the day without finishing. Ho started by charging that thero was a conspiracy to hang tho prisoner. Ha then proceeded to name tho conspirators ; Tho District Attorney, Judge 1'ortcr, Mr. Davidge and five of the Government experts, namely, Drs. Gray, Hamilton, Kcnipster, MacDonald and Wooster. Tho counts of this indictment, twenty in number, are : First They have perverted ihe law in this case. Roovillo, in illustration or support of this count, alluded to the introduction by Judge Porter o' tho decision of Judge Uatva in a New York ii-c. Ho said : ' Counsel npon the other side
indignantly repndiatrd tbe suggestion that Judge Davis sat with Cardozo or Barnard, but I have yot to learn if either of them over coninutttd a more reprehenaiblu act than that of Judge Davis." Scoville warmed np with his subject, and de nonnot'd Iu severe language the extra- judical set of Judco Davis. " Had a tewsps.per been guilty of snob a bold-faced attempt to influence the deririon in a pending cause, tho editor would have been subject to arrest for contempt" Judge Porter "Don't let us torn this courtroom into a town meeting." Pcovillo resumed, but was toon interrupted by Davidgo, who. with some impatience, said: " Oh, io, ho. Scoville ; that's not so." Kcuvil:e -l'ou nuy interrupt as much as von pluase ; I shall cot bo deterred from saying ju-t vhat I believe to bo the truth. Daiidge Well, well, I'll not interrupt again, and say what you may. Guteau That's right, Davidce ; vou keep quiet You talked for two days and didn't say anything oil hsr ; now give some one else a show, Scoville continued : Wbou Judge Porter comes before tbis jury and undertakes to pervert evidonce, I shall not keep quiet, as I did with Dav-
iuge, ma i snau stop nun. Gu teau So sbidl L Scoville I shall stop him, and I shall correct him, 11 I find b i misstating evidence. GuiUati X -nind: ill attend to him. Judge Por. iicre will be two Ouiteios tiieu to attend iu no, , Scoville continued : "The prosecution states that if the prisoner know the f act was wrong on July then he should hang. Now this is' uot by any means tho whole of it, or a correct statement of tho law. Tbe court has added in substance as follows : 1 Yet if m this act he was overHwer.d by a consciousness coming through his diseased mind that what he was doing was neceswrry for tbe good of the country and was specially approved by God, then yoncanuot convict him of murder.' " Scoville proceeded to point out to tbo jury what bo termed the perversions of evidence by Davidge. He attacked the theory of the prosecution that it was tho prisoner's 'own innato or acquired depravity that naturally led np to tho killing of the President, Mid disctust-d at some length the evidence introduced by thsm to ( how instances of tho prisoner's meanness and depravity. "Tbis evidence," said Scoville, "basin almost overy instance been perverted. Counsel parade here tbo debts owed by tho prisoner, and attempt to make much of them in this chain they aro weaving." Guiteau 1 owo about 1,000, and I snpposo thnt ought to hang a man. Jf these people will send in their lulls now, l'ii givo them checks for tbem, and get them out of tho way.

cruitirals; "and, gentlemen of the jury,
bo said, "in my opinion, if there were not reasoi s, oifti powerful ones, at the bank of this prosecution, this prisoner nover wonld have been brought to trial Hut I till you, gentlemen of tho jury, back of this prosecution is an lull nonce which I have felt, and whitth run may feel, gentlemen, before this trial ie concluded. There are politicians who seek to hide their own stianie behind the disgrace jf tbis poor prisoner and make hm a scapegoat for their tnino. I did not intend, geii.le-utn of tho jury, to take up tbis feature of the case, but when I find the power an-1 lull uaneo of this Government used against me in deiiyii K tbe small pittauee that I have asked lor a lair and nupartial ti'ial. and the small fa

Mr. Conkling shall not escape, shall not sliu-k the responsibility of the sttito of things that led Io th s act, and bo sball not encape tho condemnation of the American iieople, if I oau help it, for his (hare iu tins disgraceful rcrambln for office tha: led to a ccnfl ct with the cUo.vu ruler of this t;reat nation, and led this poor insane man to compass what they would have hailed with mt.sfaotion, as would, probably, hundreds of other pohtffiians, if it could have occurred otner than throii,n assassination the removal of Garield, who stood in tho way of their unrighteous and dmgraxful struggle for oniee.

I am not going to see the misdeeds of these men, high iu power, visited upon the head of tbis poor insane man if I can help it This clauioi lor his blood is not for tho purpose of avenging Garfield or of satisfying justice. Their theory is that : If it can be shown that this was tho act of a sano man, then these politicians a high places will say, 'Of court we aro noi. responsible for I be act of a sane man. To be nro, wo had sorie differences, but then it i;ouM nover have led a sauc man io auch an ac! ;' but, on the contrary, gentleman of the jury, what is the effoot of your verdbt if you acquit him na an insane man 1 Why, people wid say, 'Some one is at fault;' they will, say, ' Wo will fix lho blame upon the heath and hearts of those men wbo waged tho war upon our poor dead President until it drove this poor im.atie man, from reading daily in tho papers wtat Grant says, what Conkling says, and rein constantly thinking upon it, to his insane act or killing the President ; and thure aro met in high places, the' really culpable ones, who will go down to posterity with tbe stif ma upon their names and the detestation ot their countrymen fastened upon their nitiuor es." Kcovi lie's denunciation of Conkling and others created a profound sensation in tbe court-Mom. The prisoner, who had been looking over tho New York papers, called out : " I see the New York !uit of Appeals has just decided in favoi of our theory ou the insanity question. I tbf.uk you, Miissrs.

Guiteau at ths time and immediately after the sbootuu, and contended that they were entirely iu keeping with' tho theory of insanity- that his coolness, his quietly going to bed and peacefully sleeping the night alter the murder wore ohsraulsnsli i iuc.dents of crime such as wonld bo expected from an insane man and insane men.
Scovi.le continued with hia review of the evidence, and called attention to various incidents in Guiteau's li'r, arcuiug his insanity an evi-. deuced by tho undoubted lack ot so&iethiag in his mental composition possessed by other men.

Alligators as Pets. "I have some peculiar cnstomisrs," Uio keeper of a bird and pet-animal store fca Fulton street said. "There are some ladies that purchase nothing but white rati. I onco asked one what she did with them. She blushed a little and said she let them sleep on her pillow siVh her. She fondled them and taught them little tricks. I have had quite a demand for young alligators recently. Mostof thepui'chasers, curiously enough, oiv ladies. You wouldn't think there wii 3 anything particularly likeable in an alligator, with a mouth running nearly half tho length of his body, tout aoma ladies think so. I have seen them throw bits of meat into an aquarium containing a six-ir.eh alligator, and, as his mouth flapped open and closed on the delicacy, they would raise their hands and exclaim : ' How perfectly lovely ! ' They use the nlligators to look at and feed. An alligator looks very comical when about to swallow a fly. He rushes at it with open jaws, aud brings them ao violently together that the water spouts out at each side of his mouth, fie gets himself in the most grotesque attitudes, and is always making unexpected moves. A woman came here from Hobeken, recently, and bought a ten-inch reptile. She also bought two dollars' worth of fishes. She went away apparently
' pleased with her purchases, several days afterward she come again and said that all her fishes had mysteriously disapcared the night she took them home, I but that the alligator still remained, j She said sho had put them all together i in ait aquarium. Of course I told her j the alligator had swallowed the fishes. 'She said. 'Oh. mv, tho nasty thing V

The total area of the United States as reported by the census of 1850 was 2,380,1159 square miles. The census of 1860 made it 8,020,194, and that or 170, which included the newly-acquired territory of Alaska, some 677,699 square miles, gave it at 3,603,884. Tho figures for tho States, and such of she Territories as st it! retained tbe same boundaries, are the semo for 1870 as 1850, indicating that no new computation was made for either the eighth or ninth censuB, and a foot note appeudnd to the table ot areas in the report lor 1870 states that Ihe increase of the total area of 1860 over I860 represents the territory acquired from Mexico, known as the Gadsden purchase. Another now says that " the land surface of the United iitates, 8,603,884 square miles, wben increased by the water surface of the great lakes and rivers, brings tbe ttal area of the United States ap to 4,000,000 square miles. But this, according to Mr. Gannett, who is a very careful calculator, is quite wide of the mailt, since, without coonlii-g Alaska, he is only able to make it 8,025,600 squire miles, which, minus the principal lakes, rivers and ponds, leaves na 2,070,000 square mile l of fairly dry land. This ought to be enough to ratisfv anybody, and UncloJSam will probably
! be able to content himself with it, unless the
(Jlayton-lmlwer treaty is abrogated, in Which event the Lotd only knows what he'll do. But a c ireful study of these ngures,more than anything else, will tend to convince one that there is indeed a world of country ont West. In tho ten prairie States, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska, there are 616,775 square miles, only 10,818 of which are " water lots." There are, therefore, 605,940 square miles of mora or less productive soil nt thin region, on the cultivated portion of which, in the year 1880, according to the reckoning of Sir. Bobert P. Porter, of the Census Bureau, there was raised 826,720.466 bushels of wheht, 1,283,865,107 bushels of corn, 70,167,982 pounds of lobaoco, nearly 6,000,000 horses, more than 8,OOU,O0u cattle, over 12,000,000 shaep, and about 16,000,000 hogs. Tho total production of cereals of ail kiuds in these ten States, according to tbe samo responsible authority, was 1,907,848,933 bushels, or more thau two-third of tbo product of the entire countrr. Those j same States produced in 1880 1,912,839 tons of iron and steel, woitb in the igregate I 78,933,686. j Tbe progress of manufacturing industries of all kinds ittfhcjc ten Stntssduring tho last thirty j years, is almost beyond bel cf.

About the Batcher. This week, children, I shall show you the butcher. He is generally a giod man, but sometimes has a bad weigh of (showing it. The butcher is a jolly fellow; therefore it is meat tli.t he cuts up occasionally. He is a good husband, and his w ife cleaves unto him. He takes great can of his cleaver. The butcher is a great favorite among the fair sex. He Is always killing. The butcher never selhi horsefmeat, ilthough he has been known to cut up a ud dispose of a fillet. The butcher will knock down an ox a nd lamb a woman or a chiltl ; but let us l ot bo too harsh on the poor creature, for a pork readier he is. It has been said that what is bred iu the bono won't come out of tho flesh; I: at the butcher gets much of his bread in tho bone he sells to you; and doesn't-this come out of the flesh? The butcher has bet-n blamed ;'or
! charging you as much for the bone ns:'cr
the neah ; but he does no t require you to takti the bone. He carof ally removes ill he can before he sends it heme. Though the butcher oharges yon twenty-Ave ceuts a pound for bone, you must remember that he wills the sains bono to the scavenger for three cents. So you see his average price is not exorbitant. Batchers are almost invariably fleshy
! men. A meat shop is tho place to tro to
if you want to get fat. 'fhe batcher is usually very eour eons, out some of his best customers frequently get the cold shoulder from
him. The butoher soon finds out a poor -prying customer, and will at once out h m
