U is well known that ice is capable of such great solidity .aa to t retain 1b cold countries any , desired , shape for a long time; and houses hare been constructed of it which hare resisted the elements. not only throagh the winter, but far into tfielsacceedtng summr7 and in 9090 instances even during several year. . - An illustration of this fact, the Courier dee Etato Unia tells the following story: , . Peter the Great of Russia had in Bis services buffoon named Nickolieff a dwarf in size, and particularly ugly ia appearance, but possessed of a mind fall of intelligence, and overflowing with wit and sarcasm, in the exercise . of which even the czar was not always respected. Ho one day approached his master and requested permission to marry. ? , 'And who do you suppose would marry yoa?" demanded thoesar. "Catharine- Itslivaski,'' replied the dwarf. ' " . -" f "-a , -Catharine Italiraski! that majestic, beautiful creature, attached as fills dechambre to one of the empress's ladies in-waiting! Impossible, my poor Nickolieff! ' She is young and beaatifal, and you are old and ugly. . "She loves me!" sail Nickolieff, swelling with' offended pride. 'Every body does not look upon me with the unfavorable eyes of your majesty.' ' 44 Yoa must be very rich, then, or ehe would not love vou," said the czar. - - "Allowing that to be, I should not be the first one who has 'been lored for his wealth!" replied the buffoon, with a cynical smile. "I know of one far more richer and more powerful than I am, who has thought himself loved for him self alone, instead of his piles of yellow gold, and was so plainly deceived that he alone was unsuspicious of the true object" - ' The emperor turned pale with anger, and bit his lips until the blood flowed, tor the buffoon alluded to a love adven ture of tba monarch well known at court. but of which none had dared to speak above a whisper. ,4 very ..weliaaid he, controlling his rage by a violent effort, "since you desire . to marry Catharine Ttalivaski, you shall do - so. I charge myself with the whole expense of the nuptials; and yoa will receive from me the palace, which yoa 'will occupy with your cnarmihg bride. ; Meantime you are forbidden to leave your chamber. under penalty of being made acquainted with the, knout, in comparison - wnn which the blows of my wife, which have often made your shoulders ache, are mere love caresses. " 3 " r ":- " Fifteen days after,' on the 14th ' of January, 1720, the buffoon was awakened at daybreak by the sounds o nutate at the door of the chamber,- which served him as a prison.- A number of the servants, of, the czar 1 entered, clothed him in a magnificent suit of garments, then placed him on a aiedge, to which were attached foar of the most beautiful horse in the imperial stables, and surrounded by a cortege composed of the greatest lords and ladies of the imperial court, conducted him to the cathedral Notre Dame de Kazan, where the nup tial ceremony waa . celebrated with . a splendor and extravagance which not only re-assured, but delighted the proud N i ckoli eff. r a r r : The nuptial benediction pronounced, the happy couple were placed upon sled ges, and conducted to an isolated place, short distance from the city, on tne banks of the Neva, where he had built a palace, the like of which never existed except in fairy tales. The palace, which seemed to be constructed of crystal, and which reflected in thousands of luminous rays the blazing 'torches of the eorUge, was built of massive . blocks of ice, cut out as if lrom stone, and fastened with water in place of cement. The dwarf and , his wife were introduced into an immense hall, the furniture of which, tables, chairs, .. chandeliers, everything was made of ice, and were served in the presence of the: emperor and his attendants, with a feast of regal sumptuousThe choicest and most delicate wines were served in abundance, and the gob lets of Nickolieff' and Catharine also carved from blocks of ice were kept constantly filled, until at a signal from Peter, the spouses, stupefied with wine. were carried to the nuptial chamber, and placed upon a bed of solid lee, richly carved and gilded, aud there left without fire, or other clothing in the frigid tern perature or a Russian winter. The doors of the chamber and palace were then sealed by pouring water over them, when they immediately congealed, ren deiing them equally solid with the walls themselves. As the cortege withdrew, the cruel czar remarked: "Behold a nuptial night such as was never witnessed be fore. - ' ;.i , Eight months after the fatal night. saye the - historian JLeveque that is, at the close of the month of Auguat the palace and tomb of ice still existed, and in an almost perfect state. Certain portions of the exterior only had yielded to the influence of the warm winds and son. and, melting, had formed about it a species of opaque - stalactites..- The monument itself gradually lost its transparency, and became a dirty, tarnished mass, through . which it was no longer possible thanks to God to distinguish the bodies of the frozen lovers, of which the very features had been so long visible. Another winter passed, consolidating the fearful tomb anew, so that two years later, under the combination of frost, hail, snow, dust, sun and rain, this fairy palace was completely transformed into a little hillock, black and hideous to behold. -When., at. last Peter the Great, gave orders to demolish the frightful witness to his bsxbarityr; tbo ; picaxo mad bar war found insnJScient for the purpose, and recourse , to blasting waa Bi aasry to relieve the bores of the las?ul Neva from the villainow objaat wtka recalled so disgraceful a history.

She sent ahe could live by vartoa Httle tales, poems to some of the aad magazines, bnt unfortunately n of them succeeded In obtaining msertSea editors often hard to be pleased. ' Mile, de MenIan had perseverance, aad this made her continue efforts which were literally' made without bop thejr being successful... i.. 7 Tl . - . " Meanwhile, one by one, her ornaments disappeared., .They went to purchase food, raiment and lire. At last her perseverance was rewarded. The managers of a publication called "The Pub-. liciste" accepted , soma of her papers, they found merit In tha "opinion of the reading public, and it was found worth while to engage her as- a constant contributori The pnbUisOaT had eminent success, and the payment she received was sufficient to let the young authoress live in comparative comfort. She. even became talked of and enquired after, so that she frequently went into literary so ciety. At that time no literary soirees were so well attended--at those of Mi Suard, a well known and wealthy literaUur, and at them, an invited guest. M ile de Meuian met and mingled with, persons, male and female, most distinguished for talent in Paris. t . - " Thus happily did matters proceed, until poor Pauline was unable, from a severe illness, to send any more articles to the Pnbliciste. It ia not the custom for editors to pay when " contributions . are not Bent to them, unless the writers be of such vital . importance to the work that it becomes prudent .to pay them', during illness, for articles to be written when they are convalescent. Now, poor Pauline de Meuian was very useful to the Pnbliciste,- but her articles were by no means indispensable to' its success, especially in a metropolis which supplied very" many peasons of no less ability than hers, to write ad ItbUum for the work. And M'lle. de Meuian was fully aware of this ; sor being thus sensible of her, situation and having been unable to have saved much money, fears of indigence and distress haunted her siek-bed. At this moment relief cime n an ,nnex pec ted manner, so as to seen quite providential, and relieved Dr tears, by mitigating the feara and ajaf.slrittdf the reality of (ttstress. - 'x . aShe was lying on her bed of .sickness, one morning, sadly musiag on the evils present and Anticipated, when packet reached her, by the bands of an unknown messenger, which was directed in a hand one ma not Know. contsmevj err article, in her own line and manner, which an anonymous name accompanying it requested she would se.:d to the Public iste, hoping that it would be accepted by the editors in lieu of her own. The writer added that he would take leave to transmit her a similar article, at regular intervals, until she was quite able to re sume the pen. Ignorant or the hand writing, Pauline had no idea who her unknown friend was. He kept his prom ise, however, and suitable articles were sent at regular intervals, accepted by the editor of the Publiciste, and the same remuneration as her contributions had produced was thus obtained. . By such means all requisite comforts were secured to her during her illness, and the dis tress of imnd which would have materi ally impeded her recoyery, was wholly relieved. When M'lle. de Meuian resumed her; own literary labors, her correspondent ceased to write to her. She much longed to know and thank him, but months rolled on aud still she had no clue by which to ascertain , who her benefactor was. At length a young man pale and slender, with a countenance of a mild and contemplative expression,. called npon her and introduced himself as her unknown correspondent. Pauline de Meulau instantly remembered that she had met this young man at M. ' Suard' s soirees, where she had heard him spoken of as one who had won for himself the reputation of being one of the most rising and premising young men of the day. , She had been struck, at several times, with his modest demeanor and eloquent and thoughtful conversation, and he, also, had taken notice of her, although until that hour he had never breathed to her or to any one the interester beauty, her simple manners, and her talents bad excited in his heart. This interview was followed by others, until at length. Panline had the pleasure of Laving the benevolent stranger her recognized lover." Very tenderly they loved each other, and they married. ' '.. But what connection has this anecdote with M. Guizot ? Why, no more than the little circumstance that the actors in this little drama of the heart are M. Guizot and his wife. The marriage took place in 1812, the same year tha he became professor in the University of Paris, which he still holds. But I anticipate, Madame Guizot's Letters on Education, and other works, show that she was a clever woman. V - - ' Thbt are beginning to apeak well of Thad. Stevens in the South. .

The present prices of paper are so high that we cannot preeare an article such aa we formerly used, with out raising the price of the Review, and this we choose to avoid. The exborbl tant cost of paper is the result of combination, and it Is an extortion to which we shall not yield. For example, it is publicly stated that the Carow . Paper Company of South Hadley Falls, Mas. has fust declared a Yearly dividend of 100 per cent., besides reeerving a fund sufficient to build an addition to their mill. Last year the dividend was 120 per cent. The publishers of one of the most widely circulated schoolbooks have actually sent the stereotype to Kn gland. and caused it to be printed and bound there, and shipped hither, because they can do this cheaper than they can buy paper and get the work done here. ' A third of the books sold in New York at this time are imported from England. I Writing Materials; The earliest mode or writing was on bricks, tiles, oyster shells, stone, ivory, bark and leaves of troea, axd from the latter term "leaves of a book"' Is proba bly derived. Copper , and brass plates were verr early in rise ; and a bill of foeffont on copper, was some years sinee discovered in India, bearing date one hundred years before Christ. Leather waa also used, as wtdl as wocden tablets. Then the papyrus ci tine into vogue, and about the eighth oentnry the papyrus was superseded by parchment. .Paper however, is of great antiquity especially among the Chinese ; but the first paper mill in England was built in 1587, by a German, at Dartford, in. Kent Never thelesa, it was nearly a. century and a half namely, in 1713 before Thomas Watkins, a stationer, brought papermaking to anytbinir like perfection. , The first approaoh to a pen was the stylus, a kind of iron bodkin ; but the Romans forbade its use, on account of its frequent and even fatal use in quar rels. and then it was made of bone. Subsequently, reeds, .pointed and split like pens as in thn - present day, were used: and whatever ma-v be said of our pens and paper, on the . score of convenience, it is clear, from early records. that the inks of the anckmts were great ly superior to our own. ;J,,, .,. .

It will be distributed with the assurance that its general introduction ill prove of great benefit to the wheat-growing interest of the United States. The Commissioner has also received from the same locality numerous- variet ies of apple and pear trees, knotfn to be of great excellence in that region, and which it is proposed to test in th e gar dens of the department. .They - were procured by' Commissioner Newton through our consul at the port of Odt wsa, and their development will be watc bed with considerable interest with the h ope that they may prove a valuable acquisition to the list of fruit trees grown in this country. ' ' I Verhowt Shxxp. The correspondent' of the Springfield (Mass.) Union has been visiting the sheep farms of Cornwall, Vt., and reports particulars. We select a few samples, Henry F. Dean has a 300-acre farm, and 140 Spanish Merino Bheep, valued at $40,000. Hon. Rollin J. J. Jones has a farm of 600 acres. His flock numbers 125, valued at $40,000. F. H. Dean, 350 acres; 150 breeding ewes valaed at $500 each 75,000. Don't doubt it, for he has been offered 81,000 each for five of them, and $7,000 for a four year old buck which has since earned him $4,000. California gold mines cannot compare with that. Merrill Brigham, 4,000 acres ; flock, 300 thorough-bred, valaed at $51,000. Simon S. Rockwell has a flock .of 300 -valued at 930,000.

J i r - Prospects at Wtstta.
The leading friends ia Oonsreae of a National Bankrupt Law are eatirely cobfdent that the bill (CK Jeaease') wbieh has already passed ta uoaee, will the Senate. As it will have considerably amend sd, it must return to the Hons for eoaeurieuco ta the Senate's amendaiente; but It wd act fall there. Unleae vetoed by the rreaident and bo reason, nnlaa ft ba the fbrce of habit, Is suggested for encba vesu -a aball be able to congratulate the eomatry a the passage of the Bankrupt Law before tbe 1st of March. That law will emancipate at least One Hundred Thoosand of oar countrymen from a hopeless thralldom, enabling them once more to earn bread for their families and contribute sensibly to the increase of our National wealth.' Hasten the auspicious day ! - 1 The passage of a very fair Tariff bill in substance, the House bill of last session as - amended- by the Finance Committee of the Senate seems almost assured by the evident indisposition 'of Congress to contract and appreciate the Currency. Manifestly, we cannot persist in importing largely in excess of our ex ports, snd staving off the evil day of payment by sending abroad some 8200, 000,000 per annum of bonds mainly those of our Government which we sell for sixty up to eightr cents, on the dollar. Somehow or other, this most come to a halt, and, as tie solid (not stouo i aorta west opposes and preventa a Resumption of Specie Payment, (for the present, it says : bnt Its logio plainly condems and deprecates Resumption si any time whatever,; it is morally impossible that the enactment of a higher Tariff should be successfully resisted. True, some two or three score of Members who zealously oppose Resumption as zealously ' oppose - Protection ; bat their repugnance to Resumption is powerfully helping us to Protection ; and we ttrank them for the good they do without intending it. By one means or another through wise legislation or through National insolvency we must stop buying more than we can fairly pay for : and this is every day more widely realized'. ' We hope to chronicle the paessage of a pretty good Tariff bill by the Senate before the 1st of February, t .: : i Should the President veto the bills admitting the new States of Nebraska and Colorado, the former will pretty certainly, the latter probably, be passed over the veto. , ., The idea of Impeaching and removing President Johnson has more strength in the House than we had supposed, and seems to be gaining supporters. However, it is not likely to be definitely acted on at the present session. ' All manner of Mexican Jobs and projects are hanging about the Committeerooms snd looking in at tbe lobbies of the two Houses one of them proposing a modest loan of 950,000,000 to Juarez (whereof so much aa 920,000,000 might and might net get out of Washington); and there is aa Ortega loan of like amount lying around loose; bat it is quite unlikely that either of them will ever get launched ia the shape of a bilL If 950,000,000 were lent to Mexico by ovr Government, her military banditti would doubtless have a good time while it lasted; but, "except these bonds,", there would be no trace of it in existence next year. - - u ;.' . . b - , , ; ' PHOQRKSa OF BaCOKSTBDCTION'. ; - The House of Representatives is 'fitly devoting its sittings mainly to. the consideration of the various bills submitted to it which look to a restoration of the States lately in revolt to the position they held and tbe privileges they enjoyed until they saw fit to renounce and repudiate them by uniting in the Slaveholders' Rebellion. No other topic so important,' and hardly one so urgent, ' solicits the attention of Congress. . Few thoughtful observers can doubt that, had the last session terminated without the passage of the pending Constitutional Amendment, the results of oar late elections , would have been quite other and less satisfactory than those we have had the pleasure of recording.' And' since thS plan of reconstruction embodied in that Amendment has been rejected by all the later Rebel States but Tennessee, it is most desirable that Congress shall review and reconsider the whole subject, in the- light of the latest developments, North and South, and take such action thereo n as " ahaQ ' seem , necessary and proper. . Even though it should be decided th at - no new , action is necessary,' this review ia required, if only to ahow that inaction is the dictate, not of blind' obstinacy, but of attentive, observant sagacity and patriotism. v-t ;. t We bolieve that in spite of some superficial appearances and many irritating and unprofitable sayings, events are steadily tending toward and early restoration of the seceded States. Here are some of our reasons : ' ::.i5 ' L Thaddens Stevens is generally, aad we presume truly, regarded as - inclined to deal more harshly with the Rebels than are ' most ' of the Republicans : in Congress. Tet," in his modified bill of Jan. 16th inst., he proposes to recognize the existing State Governments 'of Uie South "as valid for municipal purposes," and to let them so stand until dory aspersed ed. He proposes to concede the) Rights of Suffrage ia tbe Myr'f'",tirini of those States first to all their ritit sns of whatever color, who hars, given ao' voluntary aid to the Rebellion ; secondly, to all those former Rebels whoaaaU. swear they would have sxthsnitted to tba Union on the 4th of XLuch, l&i, eoold. they have aaty eVaa so, sad that they gave thereafter no wi23 sepport to the Rebellion. Ws believe fcxlf the once Rebel population of the Couth will pe through this door, should OongreeS aaa fit to open it. . And then, as to ths store t inveterate Rebels, llr. Ctevsas proposes that they shall be regarded aa havias rtv! noonced their sgssacs to the Union, and enabled to reaOsiat or reasaac it pre-' eisely like other slier, so that they mar" all be restored toi-SI-tS

A simple provision that no furT ther confiscations" shall be ''initiated would enable thousands of the most capable aad enteiprisin Southrons to borrow money wherewith to fence and : till their laada, or to sell - half of them fo; the , means with which to cultivate the other.
