THE CZAR OF THE RUSSIANS.
“Good-bye, my dears,” said the Czar on one occasion as he bade farewell to his English cousins at Copenhagen. “You are going back to your happy English home, and I to my Russian prison.” To the present Czar (says the World) belongs the distinction of being the first ruler in Russia who made a tour of Siberia. Former Czars have sent a good many other people to that inhospital climate, but had never ventured there themselves. The Empress of Russia is very tall—taller than her husband. She has a'wonderful dignity of manner with strangers, and her voice is low and deep, but in her own hdmo circle sbe is brimful of mischievous
humour, and her high laugh—her voico rises when she is laughing—rings pleasantly. That the Czar is a highly nervous man is well known. Once at a private entertainment, at which some English officers were present, one of the latter began to applaud a singer by vigorously clapping his hands. Ho was just behind the Imperial seats, and at the first crack the Czar started to his feet, white and trembling.
