Ir will be remembered that the United States had a balance of some seven or eight million dollars of the Geneva Award Fund, after paying the claims present by the Gov- ernment, and which were pronounted legal. It has been a question for soms time past what to do with this money, aud Congress is now preparing for its final distribution. A bill has been reported from the Senate Judi ciary Committee, which provides for the re- vival of the Court for the disposition of the Geneva Award Fund, such Court to consist of three Judges, te meet in Washington, to continue for eighteen months, and _ all claims to be filed within six months of the organization of the Court. The principal clause in the new bill is that which prevides for the repeal of
that *‘no claimant shall be admissible or al- lowed by said Court by or in behalf of any in- surance company or insurer, either in its or his own right or as assignee or otherwise, in the right of a person or party insured as aforesaid, unless such claimant shall show to the satis- faction of said Court tbat during the

Romance in High Life.
The marriage of the Empress of Russia, who now lies ij! at Cannes, was almost a romance. In 1831, when the present Czar was twenvy-three years of age, a list was prepared at St. Petersburg of marriageable German princesses, and under the care of Count Orloff the Czarevitch went to visit them. He had been to Berlin and the courts of North Germany, and was en his way te Carlsruhe when he arrived at Frankfort. The Prince was about to re- sume his journey when he received an in/ vitation from the Grand Duke of Hessez Dormstadt to dine at the Palace of Darm- stadt. As a matter of courtesy only the invitatien was accepted, and after dinner the court adjourned to another reem for tea. There the Russian Coelebs in search of a wife saw a,young lady ef sixteen, ac- companied by her governess, whose appear-} ance was £0 charming by its simplicity that, he inguired who she was. The Princess Mary was the daughter of his host, but her, name was not upon the St. Petersburg_higt,, Presently the Royal and Imperial person- ages proceeded to the drawing room, where, Alexander asked to be presented tosthe at~ tractive girl and a long. conversatiog with her confirmed his first impressions. ..Next morning ~ Count Orloff, informed the Prince of the arrangements for pro- ceeding to Baden. ‘‘ My dear Count,” said the Grand Duke, ‘‘ we shall go no further ; [ have made my choice ;amy journey is finished,” Orloff had net suspected how matters stood, and expostulated. The Prin- cesses of Baden had not been seem, and the name of the Princess Mary of Hesse was not on the list. Alexander would go to Carlsruhe if politeness required, but he had made up his mind to marry none other than-the Princess Mary. When the news reached St. Petersburg the enfowrage.of the Emperor endeavored to prevent this mar- viage ; but Nichvlas was tenderly attached to his sen, and would not allow him to be
thwarted in an affair of the heart. An old diplomatist, the Count de Reiset, tells this. story in his unpublished memoirs. The Czarovitch married
the Princess Mary a few inonths later. Eleven years after this same writer saw the Czarevuaat Krasnos-Sele, watching through the palace window the Great guard of her eldest son at the door of his grandfather's palace, Heavy rain was falling; the little fellow had on abig soldiers cloak, in which he marched to and. fro with difi- culty, and tie mothers’s heart was anxious about the exposure of her iirst bern. Thirteen years later still, and all the care- ful nursing of the Empress did not suffice to save the life of this same son, who died at Nice, after putting his brother's band in that” 6f Ti own betrothed, the Princess Dagmar of Denmark. So there are ro- matees..of) love and sorrow beneath the
‘eens glitter of eourts. - eee eae Mending Rubber Boots and Shoes A number have asked how rubber boots and shoes could be patched. Of course any cement used for this purpose must be elas- tic, and the only thing suited to the work is a solution of rubber itself. Unfortunat- ely, rubber is solubie in but few liquids, and these are either costly or dangerous to have about on account ef their volatile and inflammable character. Probably the best solvent of rubberis Bisulphide of Carbon. We dislike to publish a recipe that we have not tried, and rarely do so; the following, commended for patching rubber, we have
not use fcr that purpose, but have used it for cementing other articles,
and have answer for
reason to think it will that purpose: ‘Take one
part of Rubbe?, three parts of Gutta Percha, -and eight parts of
Bisulphide of Carbon. Tho Rubber sand Gatta Percha must both be pure; manu- factured or vulcanized will not answer ; beth should be eut fine and put with the Bisulphide in a wide-mouthed bottle witha tig ht cork. They will require a day or so to dissolve, and will need thorough stir’ rng te nake a smooth mixture. Recollect that the Bisulphide and its vapor will take fire very readily, and the greatest caution must be used. Moreover it smells horribly. The rubber to be joined must be perfectly free from grease, and the paris coming in contact should be rubbed with fine sand- paper. When the patch is put in place it should be held there, by winding @ string ‘about it, or in any ether manner that will
k-sp it under pressure until the cément is | hard. —American Agriculturist, Feb. 1,
% ~~ —____-—-~- Mental Condition of the Czar.
i Thesubstance of certain official reports which have been made to the authorities at | Vienna by their agents at St. Petersburg i has leaked out; and isin process of circu- lation in seciety. The reports give in great ‘ detail facts respecting the mental condition ' of the Czar, and lead to the conclusion that _he is at times quite insane. He is repre- | sented as subject to prolonged fits of de- pression, remaining for hours and even days in a state of almost unconscious leth- argy. These fits are succeeded by, wild ex- hilaration; during which he is most:affable, genial and joyous, and it is at these me. iments that his courtiers ask and-receive ‘from him favors of the most extravagant | descriptions. It is said that in ong ofthese
moods the Ozar announced that BA was re-
