A DK AI? MAN. Ii was just before thc opening <>?' fin railway from Taganrog lo Kharkof in 18(58, that I was' driving those dreary distances in autumn. For the first two days and nights thc weather was lovely, hut on the third (thorning, soon idler sun rise, the sky became covered with heavy, torn and jagged clouds, a northerly wind arose, mid with thunder, lightning, odd .rah-, and snow, tin- winter hurst on us as it vearlv breaks on southern Russia. In hall* an' hour the rich, black, rolling plains bad become an ocean of inky mud, and we reached thc post station of Doiiski only to lind the order: "Impos sible lo proceed." 1 called for tea, and the samovar was brought in by a tine, upright, gray bearded man. whom, from his black vel vet tunic and slashed sleeves. I took to he thc postmaster himself. He was fol lowed into the room by a noble-looking Cossack woman of bis own age. wdio said: " Little husband, why don't you ask the loni if he will eat a paltridge ami a bit ol bread".' The kurupaika is plump, and the day will be long before bis t roi ka can be harnessed to face the storm." She smiled .sweetly as she spoke-he smiled lovingly upon her; then she left us, looking lingeringly back. .'Your wile is in love willi you still, and you with her, postmaster," 1 said. You must have treated her well when she was young for ber to love you so. How long is it since you were married?" " I am titi," bc replied; " I was married at 20. thirty-five years ago; live years be fore I died." " What?" said I. " Five years before my death. ls it possible that you don't know my death? You must have come from a long way oil", for I have heard that it is told even upon the Azof." And throwing his legs across a chair, without morcado, lu-spoke thus: " 1 was born in I SOI), and can remem ber the rellim from Paris of my father and uncle- Cossacks ol' the Don. Those were grand ?lays, when every Cossack was an ellicer by birth, and when the Herman IMaloll was king ol' Ku rope, conqueror of tin- Turks and of the French, and friend and equal to the white tsar. Now, lids Petersburg tsar says that we'er no better than his great Russian slaves, ami four years my saber and long pistol have hung upon the wall unused; and when I have worn my red banded cap and my red-striped breeches. I've always hid as much as I could of the stripe in my boots, for I'm ashamed of it now; and they're even going to luke awav our privilege of the supply ol'| salt. "In 1S34, as a young postmaster-for my father was dead-with a good place and a handsome beard, 1 was the best match in the two church villages round. 1 could pick my wile, and I chose tilga, that you saw just now." '. There." said I '? Ah, wait and see ! Wait, little lord. Don't be impatient. Olga was as lovely as she was good. You have seen her in her (Kith year; her goodin-.i-- what it was and, t'-ough I mav be ar unsafe judge, he r ' tv, I think, is no! vet initie. - *?? ked at me : I nodded. " We were happy at first, but 1 was young. I felt the chain. I was faithllll to her as far as women went, but not kimi. Wc had no children. Ope day in '.!'.' she was in a low spirit about nie, and flung her arms upon a sudden about my tieck, with: 'Do yon really love me, little .lohn?' 'You know I do.' ' lint noi as I love von.' At thal very moment, lord, the devil mus! have been unchaiiiged from hell. To tell you what I thoughts Hashed in an instance through my mad mind would be impossible. That what she said was true! That, wdiile 1 did love her in a kimi ol' way. I was bound to her for life whether ? would or no. In a lit of wild rage 1 struck her one short, sharp blow. She looked at nie with despair in her eyes, and 1 walked slowly into our other room. I ran into tho stable-yard. Harness a troike,'said I to the st.ir osta ; ' I leave at once for Kharkof with dispatches thal thc courier dropped, and that I've found upon the floor. Quick! quick! the best courier horses' In an instant they were ready. Merrily jingled jingled the bells in the crisp air. l'an! took Itu- reins, and off I whirled. In twenty hours 1 was at Kharkof. To my friends, the starosta, at the great Khark of station, who was equal in rank and pay to most postmasters themselves, I said: "Do nie a service, little friend, as I would do one for you. I am going to leave my wife, to whom I have been un kind, and am going to enlist in the guards. Hut I wish her to forget nie, and she must think nie dead. Write to her in a week and tell bei' thal 1 was taken willi the cholera and died. I'.eg Inn-to forgive me for my unkindness; say thal I wish she should marry some lad more worthy of her than myself. Make interest lo have the station con tinued lober as postmistress. She is a priest's daughter ami eau write.' Wc crossed ourselves; he Swore ; WC bow-il lo the image in thc coi ner cf the stable, we kissed, and in live minutes I was gone. At the recruiting ollice I enlisted tor the empress' regiment of cuirassiers ol' the guard, as a fourteen years' vol unteer guard, and in a false name. I'd, ol' course, no papers, but they asked no questions, for 1 was a linc reen rit. My beard was shaved, my hair was cut. and when I got lo Petersburg and was fitted with my uniform and eagle-crowned hel met no one would have, known nie. I i i.-e to sergeant, ami second riding-mas ter. From your padarojnn ! see that' you are F.nglish. Now,' in fifty-three, when I had served my lime, lhere was rumors ol'war in Turkey against von, and telexing oilers were made to mi- I.? stop and .drill tim new recruits. Rut J was wretched, and homesickness drove nie south, though if I lound my wife dead or married again, I intended to kill myself. Petersburg is not a place for Co.-sacks, either. Ry brooding over (lie ?last I had become madly in lovi with i. y wife. It was no use for me to tell myself that 1 had left her wc'I off; that she was married again and happy ; that she was forty-four and fat; or else, per haps, a scarecrow, I was madly in love. " I gol my discharge ??ml pension pa pers, and started south. At Kharkof ?ny friend was dead.' What if she, too, was dead? ' Who keeps j,hc Doiiski post station now'." I murmured, crossing my self the while under my long cloak. . The. widow.' 'A widow that has kept it fourteen years'." 'Tho same.' In eighteen hours I was there. I recognized two of thc old HICK, hut they not mc. I rushed into thc house. She was at hoi day-hook writing, not changed. Only iri iver, and with silver in her black hair. ?

She did hot turn to look at inc, hut threw up her arms and fell for ward on the tallie. 1 rushed to her and felt her i lear I, with mine, too, all hut leasing lo heat. In a moment siie came to herself-our lips fast glued together. This was in 'fifty-three. This is 'sixty nine. Sixteen years gone like a ?lay. We have made up for the past, little lord .. Hut, would you believe it? that wretched government at Petersburg in sists that 1 am dead, and thal the Donski -talion is kept by my widow. (Jr else they say the cuirassier riding-master must he dead, and with him his pension. My widow accents this situation with a smile, for neighbors know belter than to believe the government, but she keeps the books, signs thc receipts, and pays the taxe.-. I draw my pension in my cuirassier name. A great Petersburg holde wdio was passing hore last wick, tobi mc that h?' didn't believe one word of my story, but that thc postmistress and I were "quiet in the fashion.'

It is a matter ol' history that Charle magne hunted in the forest of (lonird nien. then consisting of oak and beech, though now tlie same forest enntainsonly pines of various specie.?. On the Rhine, between Landau and Kaiserslautern,oak forests of several centuries (dd are grad ually giving way to thu beech, while others of oak and beech arc yielding their ground tb pine, lu the Palatinate the Scotch fir'{pinun tylvc*i?i#) is also succeed ing the oak. In the Sura anil in the Tyrol the beech and tim june aro seen to succeed each other, and the same alter nations are witnessed in many other dis tricts. In all these cases there is int exhaustion of soil as in the growth of old field pines in Virginia, North Carolina and other southern states after oak. The rotation of natural plants without thc interference of man is not explained by assuming the consumption of alkalies liv beech, oak and maple and their resti tution by pines, where all the loaves, limbs, hollies and loots of tree? rot where they grow. 'I bis operation should make the soil better for deciduous trees the longer they draw mineral food from moving water, and gaseous food from moving atmosphere. Obviously there is an element ot local change ol species w hich is not understood. Napoleon (II. ruthe "Memoirs ?d' Od i lon Ilarrot" occurs this .-ketch ol'the character of Na] polcon 111.: "One ?d' the principal traits of tho character ?d' this predestined personage, who was fated lo reconstruct the empire, wa- thc knowledge how to yield ; that was th?- quality which chiefly dis tinguished him (rom the first Napoletin, and therein alone lay all his strength. To possess a will as inflexible as fate itself, to dread no initiative however bold it might he, but at the same tina to know how to halt, to adjourn, to draw hack without any embarrassaient either of personal vanity or of pride, these arc contradictory qualities which, when they are united in one person, make ot thal person au exceptional being. These qualities were marvelously appropriate to the situation of Louis Napoleon, who. having neither the genius ?d' the first Napoleon nor his victorious prestige, wa- forced to obtain by dint ?d' emmi hg and patience thal which the other billi been able to bear away in lofty combat." During the disorders of the 24th of February Prince Jerome Bonaparte, the falber ?d' the present prince, came to Madame Ilarrot and demanded the loan of her carriage, in which to show himself t?? the people, declaring thal only a Bonaparte could calm the tumuli and disarm the insurrection. His proposi tion was rejected as absurd, "and yet," athis liddon Ilarrot, "he was only ll lit tle in advance of tho times." Tho Product ion of Cheese in the United Stales.
