But he had beea neither tried nor sentenced, and br favor of the Czar, and m order that ha might con tiaue hfc literary labors, be enioved in dulguncos that were granted to no other prisoaer. Yet he sulJerwU ternWy, and he will naver. let him live as lone as he may. recover from the effects of his long incarceration in that frightful dungeon. .But if a nobleman high in rank ami favored by the sovereign suffcretl so. much, what m-t have been the fate of the fri.m!less ami obscure?

It is hnjre. hideous ami slab-klet!. and surmountetl by a thin aad-taeriBgsfurw thai looks like the end of a Brobdingnagiau svringe. Tle fortress is in the center of the city and fact's the imperial jNtlace. During the day k is in part a mhtic, thomughfar.', and people pas through a narrow dohleof gloomy ami tortuous vaults, wit-re heavily-armed sentinels march to and f.o, and si on saints in niches hokl aloft burning tapers. Bat at nightfall all is etosed, and when darkness covers the capital and t'e quays of the Neva are all aclow with gas-hghts the prbon. here dedicated to St. Peter and St. Paul Temaias shroHled in gloom, like some huge maw, ever ready to swallow up all that is be ami noblest of the unhappy land which it corses with its presence. Round the fortress reigns a deep siW; but four times in eyory hour the btg dock in the syriage-shaped' spire ehintes a aJm tune hi praise of God ami th Oar! No wonder that men who were taught in their childhood that to disobey the potentate wan to dishonor the Creator should, have learnt to dete$t the one and repudiate the other. A GREAT A KMT OP M1SEKAKLKS. If those hoary walls of the Russian iMsttle coukl speak, what tales they might tell! Since its foundation the fortress has been the chief political prison of the Empire. In past times the mnsatee were mostly court offenders on their way to 'Siberia or the scaaoM. One of these was the wretched Alexis, son of Peter the Great and heir presumptive to the throne. Visitors are still shown the cell where, after beinc put to the tort ure, he was nut to death by order of iw father. But for welt-nicn one hun dred rears then have been neither alaee plots nor ooayi a"eJf, ami from the bejHaahwr of the century to 1816 the fortress prison was closed.

DENS WITIIOUT LI OUT. The casemates are cells, live paces loa and three wide, eoual to about seven aad a half feet bv four and a half feet-dens into which a little light struggles through a strongly-barred slit. The walls stream with moisture. For fur niture the inhabitant has a straw raattniA and a thin auilt. a iut. the image of a saint, and a pail whieb serves for all nurtHos and remains there day am nhfht. The air of suoh a place, surely one of the dark places of the earth, be sides beinr cold and damp, must be un spsakably foul. But even worse than dampness, and foulness, and gloom, is me SOmiKie lO wniun me HWiucia am condemned, for the fortress is organised on the strictest cellular system. Every posible precaution is taken to prevent tlteta from communieating with each other. They never meet, never speak to each other, are not even allowed to exchange a word with their jailers. A. warden is forbidden under severe penaltics to answer a question, however meaningles or Innocent. To prevent him from obtaining favors or inf ormatio neither by cajolery Or collusion, the turnkeys are" made to visit the cells in couples, and to prevent prisoners from ebmmuntcatkn with each other by knocks on the walls, every alternate cell is either altogether untenanted or occupied by a gendarme. Once a day the door is opened and the warders signify to the inhabitant by a gesture that it is the hour for exercise. Silently lie rises from his little bed ami follows his cus-H todians into the narrow yard, so hemmed m by high walls as to .-eem like the bottom of a wall. Here he paces to and fro for the allotted time, like a wild beast in a cage, and is then led Hack to his den as silently as lie was brought out. Tbe'-prison is full of pc6plc. yet for every inhabitant of its casemates, its bastions, its ravelins and its curtains tltere is the isolation of death. No books are allowed in this dismal solitude, not even the Bible. If a priso ner wants religious consolation he may look at his saint and raise his' thoughts Heavenward, if he can. It is no wonder th:tt men immured in these dark places sometimes go mad. BL'KIED ALIVE. But in spite of every precaution pris oners do occasionally contrive to com municate 'with their friends; A little money in Russia goes." a loag way, and even turnkeys have sonieahnes' bowels. So it comes td pass, m the ease, of, the letter from the "inhabitant" and some other letters, which I shall describe later on, that news" from the casemates does occasionally reach tke outer world. It might almost be called a voice from the tomb, for these men, like the author of the, book of that name (Fedor Dostoyeosky), are "Buried Alive.' For clothing the prisoners have the gray dross of common malefactors. , Instead of shoes and stockini,their feet are wrapped in rags. Even in the depth of winter the oclls are seldom warmed, never sufficiently; at least the fuel assigned for the "purpose hi ineufKcient ami embczaied at that Hence the cells are always damp. Water streams down .the walls and freeaes in pools on the floor. So intense is the cold that when the director makes kis rounds fAs never takes off his far cloak, ami shivers even then All that the prisoners have to protect themselves from the terrible cold are a common slteepskin coat and cap, such as worn by, the moujiks. Thev pass most of their time bt bed-rwhat else can they do. poor wretches? and even there thev are well-nigh froaen to death, for besides being iasufliciently clad they are poorlv fed. For breakfast, as for supper, they have a jug of warm water and a lunch of black bread and butter; for dinner they are given a basin of cabbage soup, a cake of buckwheat bread and a pot of kwaas, a sort of beer maaa of water mixed with black bread aad fermented. Twice a week they bare pea soup instead w oaoeage mpiM Sunday bm seua fa asaeiaaattd by a morsei of Mat. Kac it

Many, in effect, die, and1 they are the auost fortunate. The medical service, says the " Inhabitant of a Case mate, is intrusted to an octogenarian practitioner, who is so infirm that he can hardly get one foot betere the other, aad a young doctor,' whom 'the inevitable gendarme renders so timid that lie can hardly feel a pulse or ask a question. Dysentery is another eomraon complaint, and often ends fatally. Not a few of the prisoners cither forget their sufferings in insanity or .terminate them bv Milf-murdur. "'issaioo, one of the men who fabricated the bombs for the murder of the Czaa," writes the "inhabitant," "died in this very casemate." rKHYEU Cl'O.V BV VERMIN. But horrible as is the condition ot the prisoners, that of the. Women is stuj more tMpiorauie. Albeit, the wardens are not supposed to enter the cells alone, the women are often the victimi of brutal violence. Their bods, like most of the male prisoners, are' aearebed everv dav bv the turnkevs. to 'whom, moreover, their cells are always open, lieitner the men nor the women have the- right to -possess a comb or a brush, much less a pair of scissors or a piece of soap. I ho beards ot the one ami the hair of the other swarmwTth vermin, and, in other respects, want bl cleanliness produce the .usual, results. Thev are almost-eaten aura. la Harrison Ainsworth's" " tiuy Fawkes" there is a tearible description of the torture inflicted oa the aroh-imn-powdcr pl6tter in the Tower ""of London to make him confess. It is thirty years since I read that book, but I have never forrotten the hideous story nor the impression it made on my mind. One of 'the ordeals Guy underwent was being put into a pit which, communicated with the river and at' flow of tide swarmed with loathsome and ferocious sewer rats. With these creatures he had to fight as best he could, and was only pulled up when he was in imminent danger of beine devoured. I do not think tlicy do anything quite so bad as that in the'fortress of St. Peter and St. Paul, but thev do things almost as bad. In the Troubctzkoi bastion there are cells below the level of the river-, hor rible places into which the sunlight never oenetrates. lae walls are moklering, dirty water is continually UriDMiH? irom them, ana in ine utick noocs large apies nave ueen isit open io nve admission 10 mo rats, in ineo earthlv IftlLs are immured the prisoners most hated of tlio Government, and the doomed to death spend in them the last hours of their life.
