George Wilkes, editor of the New York

peror of Russia the grand cross of the Order of 
St. .Stanislaus, as a recognition of the sugges¬ 
tions made to the Russian GovcrnmenI in refer¬ 
ence to the overland railway to China and India

Rev. W. L. Gaqb, of Hartford, says of Ruskin: 
“I think he is the plainest mail I ever saw; at 
any rate, no face ever impressed me with so 
much ugliness. And, as If to iolonalfy nature, 
tlie combing of his hair and rudely-fitting dress 
only emphasized the natural want of charms. 
You have seen some faces which were oven 
brutal in their coarseness—MuskJn's is one—it 
lias neither fineness or feature nor winning ex¬ 
pression. His eye, it Is true, is large and elo¬ 
quent, but not enough to affect the rest of his 
face.”
