The Cam t Ni.I el Me a.e The (.ar Nicholas was, in fact, the last real autocrat in Europe. 1 count it among my most instructive experi ences and rncohlections to have ob tained a living picture of the most re markable man of my time, which I was able to supplement and complete from time to tnle by meansof inuner ouscoun.tctions with relatives cmmon to us both. In the person of the Em peror Nicholas all vague abstraltions of state, church and nationahty van ished. On hlooked at himi amnd per Piveld tha:lt aill the force expressed in tlhese ternls was concentrated in his person. Apart from him niothing ex Isted or seemed capable of existing. He stool tangible, but by no means terribl':e o, the contrcrvy. handsome and lordly. ::ttr.,ctive and seductive self uassue.d, Ihold, and like a kind o! religions gunrdiaII spirit before an adoring world And yet this colossal apparition .,f :ia absolute ruler proved on closer exannuiatioi to be mere out ward show, a painterl picture. lie was the mist perfect wearer of uniform ;amom.,g all the princes of Eu rope, a tailor's bhlck (Modellh for every kind of full dnmrs. The principles of his life amn government were uniform and red tlap. He looked both the statesnman and the general in so marked a degree that his complete capacity to till either role seemed to every one a foregone conclusion. Thait and everything else he effected by means of the grand spirit born within him, which was expressed in the phrase. "Nimbus of the Autocrat." He was better capable of maintaining this in the most brilliant style than any of the empelrors and kings of his time. But with equal ability lie man aged to give to the social expression of his feelings a certain air of bonhomie, which c(irrV'sl1)ted to his chainge of uniform. Above all, he understood the art of putting one out of counte nance, while his gallain and chival rous demeanor fascinated both men and women. His influence was every where and nowbere, like that of the Wandering Jew.--Duke of Coburg's Memoirs. Trieks I PBteogipbly. There are various ways for provid ing surprising results in photography, things that in one age would have been called magic, but in ours recog nized as scientific tricks. The ghost picture, for instance, in which a shadowy ghost-through which ma terial objects are visible-is seen be tween twtural attitudes and occupy tions. This is produced by an almost instantaneous exposure of the figure that is to do duty as the ghost, fol lowed by a full exposure of the figures and properties that are to appear natu ral. Another novel trick was shown recently in a photograph reproduced by a prominent trade journal, which presented the photographer seated at a table, playing chess with himself seated on the opposite side of the ta ble. while lie himself stood up in the background,lookiug at his two selves playing. . The ilgures were all on the negative, which wasL produced by three succes sive exls suresof the plate, parts there of lx.iing mnasked each time by a black velvet .liutter. Still another trick is that by which aº person who liked that sort of thing may appear to be photo graphed riding upon a flying goose or a fish. or any other desired style of ridiculous locomotion. This is done by the subject holding upon his lap a huge piece of white or sky tinted card, with the fanciful ligure drawn upon it. His face alpears above the upper edge of the card, and seems, in the picture, joined to the funny little body mounted on the goose or fish. The statue pic ture is made by about the samine device. . -Photographic Review. Norwtegia Iree~nm Even so commonplace a thing as a fence gives character to the landscape. This is a matter of importance to all who are interested in making country places and country life as attractive as possible. The fences of Norway, as described, must be an ugly blemish upon the face of the country. Two thick stakes of pine, from seven to eight feet long, are driven firmly ilnto the ground within an inch of each o.tlhr, and repeated at intervals of four feet. " S;maller sticks are then placed in a slaniting, position between the uprights, w hIIuli x.rve as grooves to keep tlhemn in thecir place, and they are still fur ther ccured by their being bound to get her with twigs of osier. When completed, it makes so com pact a fence that a weasel could scarcely put his nose through. They cannot. however, boast of combining the ornamental with the useful, hav ing a gaunt, monotonous look, which made us long to see them replaced by the pretty edgerows of England.
