Master of One Hundred Palaces.
As most of our readers are aware, ihe Czar’s income is far in excess of that of any other Royalty in ilia world. But to read tha full t . of his magnificence brings to one’s mind reminiscences of the story-book splendours of the Arabian Nights. He possesses no fewer than ninety-right palaces and cattles, bui. it is said that of these he has only seen thirty-four. Yet all Use rest are kept up in the pink of perfection. A vast army of 35,00 b servants. Indoor and out, are in charge of these various residences, and their salaries amount to the colossal annual sum of £BO,OOO. In the stables are five thousand horses. while the eattla which feed in the Royal farms are put at ten times that number.
