A Sno Francisco FrucUireil In CurlouH Manner. At the time of the last earthquake shock on tho Pacific coast, January 3, 1801, a pane of plate glass in the postal inspector's- oflice in San Francisco was fractured in a most curious manner. The pane was ISxSG, and more than one-half inch thick. Tho fracture extended entirely across the pane, storting from each corner and leaving a perfect uninjured square in the center, thus: The sides of each section arc said to Ixj as smooth and straight as though cut with a diamond anil straight edge, and the proportions of mathematical cx- actncss. This relic has been deposited in the California historical collection, as the most remarkable earthquake Jreak on record.

In he was appointed consul general to Egypt, and two years luter he acted in tho same capacity to Wallaehia and Moldavia, bearing-, however, the title of actual council of state. His services at this latter post during the next five years earned Him the order of St. Anno of the first class. Iu 1SOU De Gicrs was cloviitecl to the position of ambassador extraordinary ami minister plenipotentiary to 'Persia, lie remained at the court of Teheran until 1SGO.

1ST3 Do Giors, then recognized as one of the leading statesmen of the Russian empire, was appointed adjunct to the minister of foreign affairs and director oi the Asiatic department, with a scat in the national senate. During the absence of Prince Oortcba- koffi from the capital in 1S7G the direction of foreign affairs became altogether confided to DC Giors, who was thus practically designated as tho successor ol Gortohakofl, on whom age had begun to tell. Again in 1877 DC Gicrs' capacity for tho place was tested for seven months, during which he satisfactorily administered the affairs of the foreign office. So great an impression did his ability make on the emperor that De Gicrs was at once created an actual privy councilor. While GortchakoJl was attending the Berlin congress DC Giers for a third time took charge of the foreign office.

As the imperial chancellor was never afterward able to transact business for any long period, it may be said that from tho time of the conclusion of the Berlin treaty, when GortchakofT turncd broken in health, Do Giors was to all intents and purposes the head of foreign afi'airs. In April, 1SS2, ho became actual foreign minister, and cvor since then he has held a position in the- politics of Europe side by side with such statesmen as Bismarck and Gladstone, De Giers may fittingly bo designated in history as the Grand Old Man of Russia. The wife of Co Giers was Princess Kantakuzene, a niece of Prince Gortcha- koff. This alliance, early in his career, materially assisted the great statesman to the position of rank and honor where ho belonged. WhiVt the Ciar Wnuted.

The first mot of the new czar was delivered upon the occasion of M. de Giers' official visit to the emperor, who received him with the greatest demonstration of friendship, at the same time expressing the hope that notwithstanding M. de Giers' reported wish to retire from office he would still continue to work with him for many yearss. "But, your majesty, it is scarcely possible; look at my feet, they will hardly carry me," Tho czar, replied: "I am very siorry for you; but as far as I am concerned, I do. not want'your feet, I wact your head."

Until two years ago, when Great Britain raised her representative to tho rank of ambassador, and Franco, Italy and Germany quickly followed, tho dean of the corps was always the minister who had seen the longest term ol service here, and the dean now is tho English ambassador, Sir Julian Pannce- fote. As cJeac he takes the lead at all official functions; foreign ministers call upon him lirst, and in matters in which the whole corps is interested he is consulted first. When the.

ambassador first appeared in Washington society thcro was a good deal of surmising about tho matter of precedence at dinners, and. for some time it was a much-discussed question, but it has settled itself without much difficulty, and nothing is ever heard about it now. In the early days of the republic the question of etiquette became of sufficient importance for tho secretary of state, Mr. Adams, to address a letter upon the subject to tho president, but it was never settled. Years of precedent have, however, given a certain fixity to the etiquette here, which is much more rigid than i3 generally supposed by those who hav-a not lived in Washington long enough to know.
