"Kerer Saw yon before," marmnred Peter; "Watt, my noble friends, if I cannot prove that vou had a hand in to-day's bloody work, then I shall cheerfully snrrandez my lite, to the exeouticmer," said Iran. The two friends exchanged frightened glances that did not escape the keen eyes of the officer in charge. At length the prison was reached, and here the three men answered the customary questions, and were assigned to cells in the gloomiest pat t of the prison. By this time it was quite dark. Still great swarms of. prisoners were ponied into the seemingly limitless cells of the immense prisons.

His mother and sister then, with the instinct of filial and fraternal affection, filled his heart and mind. Then by impulse and suggestion he reeauea Jjoia nuasKv She; bin himself, was a prisoner in tnat boiidrag. As he thonsht of her, he remenv bered that she had been condemned to Siberia, and he recalled that the order consuming her to a life of exile awaited the signature of the Czar. But the Czar was dead ! Aa he realized the full force of hia thomrht. he leaped to his feet, and, raising his clasped hands above his head, he turned his face heavenward in the darkness and cried out; Oh. thank God!" He still stood there; when to his eager ears there came the sound of heavy footsteps echoing along the stonv floor of the corridor. He cauffht the murmur of hoarse roioes; then the men outside stopped before his cell door. A key was inserted in the rusty look ; the ereakmsr door swung open, and Ivan saw before him the dim outline of two men. and the light was sufficient for him to see that the one was the turnkey and that the other was an offi cer a uniform. "Ivan Berger," called out the officer, "approach, Ihave come to take yon be fog the Imperial Council." CHAPTEB XXXIY. thu enncam mu otr xbb xax act. The Caar was dead I St Petemburg. as a matter of form, and in many eases, no doubt, as a matter of sorrow, was draped in numrning. the ConneS, or nominal advisers of the late Czar, sat in Solemn deliberation. It was before this auirust body that Ivan Berger was conducted, by an aid, to Count Orfoff. Connt Orloff was there in person: and when Ivan entered, he was startled and surprised to see in the great chamber, not oalv his beloved mother and sister; but also the Grand Duke Alexis, seated nrar General Paul, who, in his turn, was seated near Lola Pulaski. Ivan stall wore the- uniform winch had served to disguise hin as sn old soldier, but his bearing was calm and fearless as he approached the officer presiding over this tribunal. 'xna preetatng omcer neia m one md an envelope, in the other a letter. which had evidently been taken from the envelope. Ivan iserger, said tne presiding J officer, as ne sola up tne letter, "tnis document was found on your person by the Justice, Look at the envelope m tell me rl yon recognise it r "I do." said Ivan, with a glance at the paper. on know how it came into your "l ao. "And you are willing to tell us?" -lam "How are we to know that yon are telling us the truth?" "Becausa, excellency, I. have never leaned to lie, and in what I shall tell yon, U X am iree ,to speak, X do not pose tnat any cowardly fear shall ma to shield myself. .

After Ivan had finishea ids statement, and from the manner ol his hearers it was evident it was believed, this letter was read to the council. ' It showed conclusively that the Countess Linwold knew that Colonel Orloff was a Nihilist, and that both wen aware of the conspiracy to kill the Csar. It further showed that it was Colonel Orloff who had attempted the life of General Paul, and that there was a conspiracy to induce the authorities to believe that the General was a traitor. Itiurther showed that the Countess Hated Lola Pnlaaki, and that the had and would continue to make every effort till that persecuted young, lady was sent to Siberia, The Grand Puke Alexis testified that Lola Pulaski had come to the palace to want the Csar, and that her efforts were rewarded with imprisonment On his own behalf General Paul told hia own straight story, and on the instant the council declared him free, and restored him to all his estates and honors. The end is near, and. it would be profitless here to go into details. Colonel Orloff was ai -rested, aad as history shows, died a felon's death. The Countess Linwold, on learning the fats of her lover, tommitted suicide. Count Linwold fled the empire in disgrace and went to live in England, where he shortly afterwards died. Dr. Mnlek and Peter the atudent, deipite thai? protein ations of lovalty and innocence, were sent to- Siberia for life, end there were never men who "so well deserved that fate. Ivan Berger was pardoned on condition that he should leave the empire. Connt Orloff provided him with money, and he came to America, where he has prospered well, and althontrh he can never forget his old home, he is now ine sappy unsound 01 a non penver merchants daughter. Count Orloff married the beautiful ISHsabeth, and with Madam Berger he went to live in Paris, having resigned from the Bnssian service.

THE LINOTYPE MACHINE

IT IfltX ACCOMPLISH THB WOBKOr TBKEB PRINTERS. An Illujtrsited Uecr!pt4on of the oat H martablo Typa-MtUng; Mmchlno Tat In- . -rented I t I Now Wxl by tha Now York Tribune. OVER 160 patents relative to typesetting and typedistributing machines have been issued from the Patent Office at Washington. AH such devices nave thus far, however, met with but little favor smong printers, end they have not been employed in practical work to a sufficient extent to have any appreciable effect in this most important branch of the printing business. Printing presses have been improved almost beyond comparison with those of the earlier days of the craft when only about 200 impressions were obtainable per hour from small forms, as against more than 20,000 copies now made per hour of our largest newspapers, bat the type-setting part of the mskisg of books and newspapers has remained substantially where it was left by the earliest users of movable types. The accompanying illustrations from the Scientific American, representing the latest, sud in many respects the most remarkable, of the numerous maohines which inventors and mechanics have devised in their long-continued efforts to . THB IiIXOTXPB find soma practical means by which to supersede or cut short the tedious work of typesetting. It is known as the Linotype machine, from the natnre of its product It is not, striotly speaking, a typesetting machine, but forms type bars, each 01 tne lengtn, widtn ana neigutn of a line of tvne. and the exact counterpart of that which a compositor would Bet up, except that each line is formed of one entire piece of metal, instead of as manv differ ent pieces as there are characters, spaces, etc. The key-board in front of which the operator sits has 107 keys, each marked for a oapital or lower case character of a THB F0KHAOE. font of type, or the figures, points, or compound letters used . in connection therewith, many of the letters most frequently used having several keys. The operative parts ore oarriiid by a rigid metal frame, ell portions of which are stationary. The "copy" is placed upon a convenient holder just above the keyboard, and above and behind the copyholdtr is s series of vertical tubus, one to correspond with eaoh key, fanning the magazine in which the matrices representing type are held. The keys are pivoted in a supporting frame carried by a bar attached to the magazine tubes, and eachhas a vertical slot or opening for the passage of the matrix, which drops by gravity as the key is depressed, another sype at the same time descending from the magazine tube to take the place of the one discharged, and bearing upon the upne; edge of the key. The slotted oscillating key thus serves as an escapement, receiving the matrices one at a time from the tube, and delivering them through the corresponding openings beneath, the delivery being instantaneous as the operator touches eaoh key. The matrices, of which one is shown herewith, each consist of a thin plate of brass aa inch and a quarter long, about three-fourths of an inch wide, and of s tmckness minutely defined by that of the letter produced on eaoh, all matrices bearing the same letter being exact duplicates of each other. Each matrix has suspsnding shoulders differing on the matrices representing the respective characters, and secondary shoulders or notches differthe JfATHrt. iag bi width on the different matrioes, the special distinctions being necessary to insure the automatio distribution of the matrices to the magstine tubes after they have been used, a. side view of one of the matrices is also shown at A, in the sectional figure, where it forms part of s line as held up In casting. To receive the matrices, as ihey are delivered one at a time below the magazine, and condnot them to the point at which they are assembled or composed to form lines, a horizontal guide or channel is provided, with rails on which the shoulders of the matrices are supported, the matrices fitting loosely in such channel, and being maintained therein in substantially upright position. The matrices, are advanced through this guide or channel to the point of assemblage by means of a blast of air directed longitudinally through the channel-; from the lowermost of tba two tubes seen to be connected with the machine at the right of the operator, the other tube being connected with the casting mechanism, to assist in cooling the mold. By this means the delivery of each matrix is effected ho promptly that its motion can hardlv be seen, the click of the matrix coming to its place in th line being formed seeming to be almost simnltaneoas with the touching of each key, little fingers or followers at the same time continually pushing forsard the characters until the line is completed, or nearly so. The spacing of the lines is acoomSlished by a peculiar meohonism which oes it automatically, and always spaces evenly between every word. The line of matrioes thus completed is received by a head opposite the end of the stationary type guide, there being immediately below and bohind the head a mold, in the form of a vertical disk, having a mold chamber or slot extended horizontally through it of a form and size identical with that of the required type bar." This portion of the machine will be better understood by ff sreso to th ito-

For the purpose of foroing the line of matrioes tightly against the mold, their characters registering with the mold proper, an outside dumping head is emuloved to bear against the outer edee of the line, while supplemental clamps or jaws assist to noia tne line nrmiy ana in exact adjustment. Not only is all this work done automat ically, but the matrioes, after the type bar nas ueen lormea, are automatically wimdrawn from their position against the mold disk and lifted by a carrier to the distributing mechanism, at the top of the magazine, whence they are distributed to their several tubes. . How far this machine may be considered a practical success for general use, in the way of superseding typesetting by hand in the old way, it is perhaps too eorly to give a definite answer. It is obviot s that it is not adapted for work requiring different varieties of type, as small capitals, ital'as, accented letters, etc Bnt there is a largo class of work, especially that required for newspapers in general, in regard to which this objection would not be very material. The actnal performance of the nuwhiao at present, and for many months past on such plain work, is about equal to tbreo ordinary compositor!, and it r-xraires bat a short time for an operator to attain an efficiency which will enable him steadily to maintain this speed, us compared with hand work. This, at least, has been the experience on the New Voik Tribune, where only thirty machines are ordinarily kept running for a day's work of eight hours each to cot oat a ten-pace edition of the daily, wluoh would requite the servioes of about ninety men in the old way of working. The absolute saving XAOEUTB. of all distribution, which is equivalent o about one-quarter of the work of composition, is of itself a most important factor in the economy of the machine, while 'standing matter," in the form of these type bars, can be kept for an unlimited time, and in any amount, without inconveniencing the office. To correct an error a new line has to be made, but this is done so quickly that the entire work of correcting is said not io be increased, , THE CHARITI INSTITUTIONS OF PARIS. In recent years, in France, conscientious efforts have been made to ascertain the principal causes of the loss of population, and it has been demonstrated by numerous facta that one of these causes consists iu the physical degeneration induced by deucieucy oi alimentalioTrin -infecey , and the most Imminent physioians of Paris, and the JJirector 01 i'ubiio Assistance, nave endeavored to modify and improve the system of nutrition in this public charitable institutions, providing for recently born children lactation adequate to the necessities of the temperament and constitution. In the Hospital for Infants' Diseases, situated iu Sabres street, there exists a section for rickety boys and girls, whose miserable aspect produces an impression of pain upon the mind unfortunate beings who have inherited the organic vices of their parents, and who suffer from anemia's cruel tortures. The administration of the hospital is arranged in two separate pavilions, where there is much ventilatiqn, with large windows that look out upon a garden, and whose walls have double rows of willow cradles perfectly equipped. The newly born receive hero the personal care of the establishment, beginning with being weighed in tho balance the same day they make their appearance, the operation being frequently repeated almost every mouth in order to determine with exactness the development of the child. The little one is subjected to an especially nutritious diet of tho most tonic kind, if it had been previously fed from a refractory goat liable to convey contagious germs, it having been found by experiment that the milk of this animal, although possessing nutritive principles of the most salutary kind, presents the inconvenience of communicating by absorption the effects of those nervous accidents to which the goat is subject. The public charities of Paris, advised by the wise doctors of medicine, have substituted for the milk of goats that of the ass, and have installed an ample yard near the pavilion of the rickoty and scrofulous children, which is only separated by a short covered passageway. Nothing is more picturesque than the speotacle of the lactation of the babes in this inoloaure evory morning, as graphically represented in our engraving, from a drawing by M. de Haenen. The nurses, dressed in dark gowns with white caps and aprons, each carrying a child on the right arm and a little scat in the left hand, present themselves in exact turn to the women who have charge of the animals, and they hold the child-, applying its Hps to the teats of the docile animal. Tho children suck with avidity tho liquid nutriment, which is fresh and of agreeable taste. Tho Administration of Public Assistance of Paris has calculated that oae young ass is able to laolate 1 -"uuudttotty iav spos of a)ua or

ten months, and when this period has passed they are sold and replaced by others. It is well known that the milk of asses, by its vivifying qualities and its nutritious principles, assimilates in a great degree the milk of the nurse, and these disinherited and sick children, enjoying its beneficial effects by its permanent and methodical use, are restored little by little to health sud vigor. James McMillan, the Junior Senator from Michigan. Hon. James McMillan, the newly elected Senator from Michigan, was

SENATOR U'WIXAN. born at Hamflton, Ont., May 12, 1838. He comes of good pure Scotch stock, his father being an immigrant who won a superior position on the Great Western Bailway, now the Wabash. Senator McMillan became a resident of Detroit when sixteen years old; he received an ordinary education, and after serving a six-years apprenticeship in the hardware business, he obtained the position of purchasing agent of the Detroit and Milwaukee Bailway. Prom that time he has been identified with the railroad interests. He organized the Michigan Oar Company for the manufacture of freight cars. This led the way to the formation of other companies, and he is now at the head of corporations in Detroit employing more than three thousand men, and doing a business of over $6,000,000 annually. Senator McMillan was one of the' organizers of the important Duluth, South Shore and Atlantic Line, is a large stockholder in many other com panies, ana a aireotor in several uanKs. His wealth is estimated at several mil lions. The new Senator is a generous man , using his riches well. Among his benefactions was one of $100,000 iu 1870 for the establishment and maintenance of a hospital in Detroit, his early partner, T. Jj. Newberry, giving a similar sura. Senator McMillan is married; has a family of four sons and a daughter. Texas Jack's Grave. "Not far from Charlie "Vivian's grave m XieodTUie s cemetery, began tno old actor, "is the earthly tenement of another man whose reputation was world-wide. A rough pine slab, upon which are inscribed the simple' words, 'John Omahundro,' marks the spot where the once famous Texas Jack is interred. When the pneumonia scourge carried him away ho was the dimenovel ideal - of a frontiersman. Tall and muscular, with long raven hair and mustache aud features of Grecian beauljy, 'twas no wonder that the first time Morlacohi met him she loved him. Morlaechi was a Parisian danseuse who came to this country with one of the French opera' companies. She saw Omahundra one might ia a Now Orleans cafe, and a week later the marriedJuni. She was a blase woman of the ybrld his life had been spent on the plains. Shb was gifted Rlth 'all the graces ultra-refinement could bestow he was a beautiful brute. "The queerly assorted couple drifted into Jueadville with the 'rush. Morlaccbi's talent was in demand: She danced divinely, and the princely salary she received from the management of the Grand Central Theater was only an insignificant portion of the emoluments showered upon her. Golden coins were flung upon the stage every time she graced it. Meantime her beloved husband drank and gambled with the many kindred spirits he found in the new camp.. The woman danced and made money, and tho man spent her earnings in the wildest sort of dissipation. She never complained of hia conduct. Stories of his marital infidelity reached her ears, but she dismissed tho gossips with a shrug of her shapely shoulders ana a snap 01 her fingers. 'Pouf,'she would say, 'ze enfant enjoy neemself -why not?' Yet to liim she was true as stool. Perhaps her love was mingled with fear, for her spouse had a playful habit of publicly proclaiming his intention to commit a double crime if his wife should ever forgot her rows. And so ho drank and gambled and blustered until King Pneumonia cut him down and hurried him away from the world in whioh he was less useful than ornamental. Morlacohi was with him when he died, and remained with the corpse until it was bmied with all the tinsel honors her professional associates could bestow. Yot not a tear did she shed. She silently stole away from tho city in which the last act of her life romaoco wan played, and in a quiet Vermont village shut herself up with hor memories, until death claimed her, about a year ago."

The Famine In SbJntnng, The Rev. Alfred G. Jones gives the following details of the famine as observed by him in Shintiing. The letter is under date of April 4: "There is no village which has not had deaths from starvation, probably about one person itarved to death in every five families to say nothing of those who are suffering daily on the verge of such a horrible fate. Regarding the sale of women and children, it is a matter of as much notoriety as the seltiug of mules and donkeys, except that they are not brought to market. Since the very cold weather passed over death from starvation has decreased, but not so the sole of women and children. Women between twenty and thirty years of sge are sold for $5 or $10, the latter being a high price. Children under ten years, say $1 to $1.50." Mrs. Neal wrote ou April 11: "I hear on all sides the saddest tales told in the quietest way, as if it were only natural, how this man's wife of daughter, this woman's only son or her two or three little children have been starved to death ; how So-and-So sold his lit(;le girl or boy to get food for his other children for a month to come, or how a certain man's wife hung herself to get away from the sight of her famishing babies. I heard our gatekeeper say to a mau whose wife was ill: Tour wife hasn't the courage mine had I She took her life most bravely (ate arsenic) to save herself from seeing our children

die slowly before her eyes.' The other man, determined that the sterling character of his family should be appreciated, replied: 'But my boy ran away from homo to join a theatrical troupe, and my only daughter drowned herself last winter, so that her mother and X might have more to eat if she were gone.'"
