No. 4264-FEBRUARY 17, 1877:1 way to member of the Russian colony in this capital, and some of their details are moat melancholy. Not only is materiel of war deficient, but the men themselves are wanting in numbers. The 200,000 soldiers of the Pruth are mon on paper. Great numbers of the reserve have not answered to the appeal, and they can nowhere be discovered. Names were probably put on the rolls for purposes of peculation. At least this seems likely from the state of the military stores which were supposed to be in an excellent condition, and on which a good percentage of recent Government loans coats, was expended Uniforms, great ammunition, provisions-none of these are found in the expected places. The infantry has beer recently armed with the new rifle in which the soldiers under the standards have been as yet. but little exercised, and the reserves not trained at all. The weapon is delicate and requires specially careful manipulation, for which the dull intellect of the Russian soldiers is but little suited. The men are said to have but small confi- dence in the firearm and to be rather timid of it. An infantryman, doubtful of his musket, is worse even than a cavalryman afraid of his horse. The men are ill shad, and already, in moving to the South, are said to be falling out by thousands, and filling all the hospitals in the rear. I ex- pressed recently to a Russian gentleman my surprise that the Czar's troops were not more hardy.
"Yes," he said, "they are hardy; your people have found them so in the Urimes. But they are weakened by vapeur baths, which are becoming too common in our country, and at this season by excessive fasting just wait till the fine weather of spring. These observations, I confess, surprised me.

in an article upon her, called a remarkable freedom from the bonds of any kind of prejudice. France she has never revisited since the war of 1870-71, and her affections are now centred in Italy. Onida is not tall; she is slightly built, fair, with an oval face, and large eyes of dark bine; her hair, of a golden-brown colour, which, used to hang loose over hur shoulders, is now braid- od à la Catogan; the dresses in white always in the summer, and is addicted to black velvet in winter. In her habits of thought, her powers of description and her keenness of tongue Ouida has been compared by enthusiastic critics to George Sand.

With a fair share of vanity in her composition, Onida must certainly be credited; her vanity has perhaps less of intolerance in it than might be expected. She forms her opinions rapidly, defends them keenly, and abandons them but seldom; but she san listen to the arguments of others, and recognise their right to differ from her. At all periods of her life she has had sa individuality of her own; and if in Parcarel she struck a deeper chord, it was not that it had up to that time been non-existent. Ouida is not insonsible of the popularity she possesson, nor is she ungrateful for the many testimonies to that popularity which she receives. The compliment perhaps which pleased her more than any was when Bulwer-Lytton told her that he had read every line that she ever wrote; and amongst her valued papers is a letter of eight pages, written by him not long before his death, apon Belle-Farine, which he considered one of the triumphs of modern English

It belonged of old to the Nerlè, and was the first spot from which the artillery of the Imperislists was directed on Florence in the great niege; it belongs now to the Marchese Farinole, grandson of the famous Gino Cappone. By this family it was modified and modernised, so far as comfort goes, without disturbing its ancient charm, and enclosed within the ring of low wall-con cession to privacy so rare in Italy!
