THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH ra IBELAND.-The
most important religions news wa bare re?

sume, of course of the Protestant Episcopal
Church although it is not so expressed) have
resolved that a general eynod shall assemble
st an early day, in whi-h the laity as well
as the clergy shall be represented, and
also to convene the provincial synods, to con?
sider Iocs! changes necessary to bo made in
the obnrcb. This will be the first meeting of
a synod of the English Church in the British
Isles in which lav re pre gestation bas ever ob?
tained recognition. So long as tbe church
was sn establishment connected with the gov
eminent. Parliament an i the Queen re- ai ned
in their own hands the entire power to regu?
late its affairs. The bishops were members ef
the House of Peers for that reason; bot with
the disestabliebment of the church is Ireland
sad the cessation of tbe right of Irish bishops
to seats m the House, the chm ch m IreWnd
resumes its right te self-government, and,
therefore, its synods will be important bodies.
The form of government f>r the church in
Ireland bas yet to be provided, and thia is the
principal object for which these meetings are
to beheld.
THE SOUTHERN JREVItW.
TO -THE EDITOR OF TUE NEWS.
I Bee DO notice taken in the papers of the
Sojtbern Review, revived in Baltimore, ander
the management and supervision of those dis?
tinguished scholars, Professor Bledsoe and
Major Venable. 1 presume the cause of this
omission is that there are too few subscribers
to this Review in our oliy or State to authorize
an agency to be established in Charleston.
Ibis is a sad state of things. Allow me, in tbe
absence of the usual criticism, to bring to the
notice of your readers the contents of the July
number. 1. Alexander Hamilton; 2. Ameri?
can Dictionaries; 8. Anthropology; A, Chival?
rous Southrons; 5. Theories of .Reasoning; 6.
Pocahontas; 7. The New Bounce; 8. t he Solar
System. All of these subjects are ably ban?
died, and I propose to make a few observations
cn one of tbem only, on account of some very
gross errors.
The article on anthropology is a very interest?
ing article, but it is clear that no statesman
wrote ir. It is written by some professor
borne mere man of science, who does not un?
derstand the affairs of State, even of his own
times. Speaking of this continent, be Bays:
"Here, however, our investigations cease
to be precise, for here the soil is forever tremb?
ling with political as with volcaniceartbqu ikes.
The white mao no longer rules supreme here;
be bas been poshed aside bf the redskins and
the mestizo, and the tenacity ot lower races,
both in physical and iu psychical lilo, bas
beeu exhibited here in a frightful manner.
The new world seems to be destinod to evolve
and to prove new ideas oy roost painful experi?
ments and trials. All the calculations of the
wipest ot European statesmen bave been con?
founded here by recent events, and all the sys?
tems of the most learned naturalists of the old
world seem to be on tbe point of bli og over?
thrown in this world, where revolutions are at
home occurring periodically in the southern
han? and becoming chrome io our own port iou.
Tbe bloody tragedy which has been recently
emoted on Mexican soil, brought to light the
startling fact that Juarez, the murderer of
Maximilian, was suegro Indian of the State of |
Os jaca. And tbe heartrending arce ot see?
ing untaught negroes solemnly issuing decrees
and proclaiming laws for the better govern?
ment of the descendan rs of English Cavaliers
and French Huguenots, seems to defy the
views ot American anthropologists, who, here?
tofore, beld the negro incapable of a higher
culture, and the pride ot the European who
believed in bis own insuperable pre-eminence."
Here, it is asserted, that the inferiority at?
tributed to the Indian and negro races is dis?
proved (or at least rendered doubtful) by the
overthrow and murder of Maximilian in Mexi?
co, and the subj schon of certain Southern
States to negro rule.
As to the overthrow of Maximilian, it was
produced entirely by the withdrawal of tte
French troops. With only ten thousand French
troops Maximilian easily conquered the six |
millions of Indians in Mexico snd established
his throne. Ibe United States Go vern m eat
intervened, and Napoleon, to avoid war with
the United States, under their threats*and re?
monstrances, withdrew the French troops.
That Maximilian-a foreigner-pot over Mex- ]
ico by foreign troops, could hold bis throne
without them against the six millions of In?
dians in Mexico, backed by the United States,
was next to an impossibility. His fall
proves nothing in favor of Indian efficiency,
or the false estimate of Europeans with re?
spect to them. With ten thousand troops Gene?
ral Scott conquered Mexico. With the same
number of troops Maximilian conquered it, and
with the esme number of American orEuropean
troops it c m be conquered again. The Indian
cf Mexico is as weak as he ever was. The only
chance tor power and prosperity which Mexico
has had since its mongrelism and its fatal pre- j
tension to political liberty under the forms of |
free government, in imitatiou of the Govern?
ment of the United States, was the government
of Maximilian. The United States has deprived
ber of this, and now she reverts back to the
chronic revolution and bloody despotism which
has been her fate Binee her release from the
authority cf Spain. The wealth and civiliza?
tion of Mexico under the rule of the white
race bas long since left her, by their emigra
t'on, under a despotism with the forms of free
government, which her people can neither
appreciate nor administer. The greatest curse
on this continent bas b?ea tba United States
to the other States in habiting it-affecting a po?
litical liberty which was impossible with their
people, and now apparently impossible with
the United States themselves.
The other proof of the false estimate of Euro?
peans is ot the negro in the South. There
ought to be a book written on'-The Curiosi?
ties of Stupidity," and when written, foremost
on its pages should be placed the assertions of
this article, that "negroes are solemnly issuing
decrees and proclaiming laws, of their wisdom
and invention, for the better government of J
the deseen dints of Cavaliers and Huguenots." j
Is it possible that this writer does not know
that the negro, in the bands of tbe Yankee, is
nothing but a votiug machine to give him
power ? Does he not know that the greater
part of the ians, passed in the Southern Le?
gislatures to uphold Yankee rule in tbe South,
were actually concocted in*Washington ? And
even when this has not been the caso, who but
the white Southern traitor and Yankee carpet?
bagger in our State Legislad ares have framed
the laws passed in these Legislatures ? Ia
South Carolina, who but Corbin and Scott, and
Moses, father and sou, and Orr, and Mackey,
and Chamberlain, and the whole crew of rob?
bers and tyrants, who now rale the State, have
originated the laws which oppress her ? And
one step farther back, who supports them
ia their rule but the Government of the
Uoited States? The truth is, thoy and the
negroes are nothing but the instruments of the
United States to rule and to crush the South.
This is the simple truth. The governments in
the South, under the Reconstruction laws of j
Congress, are not governments of thc people
of the South, white or black. They aro noth?
ing but governments of tbe United States,
resting on the bayonets of the United States
soldiery, under the command of President
Grant. The United States have set them np,
and if they were to'withdraw to morrow their
military power, which alone sustains tbem,
they would collapse forthwith, like a loul bus?
ter pierced. Nothing, therefore, eon be more
Burprising and disgusting tban to find a lead?
ing Southern periodical affirming tho suprem?
acy and rule of the negro in the affairs and
laws of the South. The negro is a convenient
tool to promote Yankee interests, aud to in?
dulge Yankee hate-and, In no very long time,
to become their victim. The worst government
on earth, is a despotism under the forms of j
free government.
Whilst noticing these erroneous views, we
cannot, however, too highly commend tbe
Southern Review to the patronage of tbe South?
ern pee pie. The only hope of the Booth is in
a clear understanding of their political condi?
tion, and thia eau only prevail through the press.
The Southern Review, in fidelity and ability, is
at the head of the Southern prese. A.
-J. H. Pratt, formerly a major in the Con?
federate service, bas been arrested at New
York on the chai ge of killing three of the
guards at Jefferson, Texas, whilst making his
escape from the stockade priaon there <n Os?
tober of last yeai*.
T3E STATE TAXATION.
An A ppeal to Governor Scott.
His Excellency R. E. Scott:
GOVEBNOB-Aft?r reading your letter call?
ing upon alt law-abiding eil izeos to yield to
laws passed by tbe Legislature, and aid you in
restoring the state to its former prosperity. I,
with many who are proud of having, for four
years, struggled to protect our rights, deter?
mined to do all in our power to allay the bad
feeling engendered by unjust legislation. So
monstrous is the injustice being practiced, that
we are charitable enough to suppose that your
Excellency is sxserant ot our Erie van ces. I,
therefore, lay before you facts.
When the assessor notified the planters of
this river to meet his assistant for the purpose
ot valuing property, the land-holders, anxious
to do what was right, proposed that those
planters familiar with the valuation of their
lands should, with the assessor, appraise the
landed property. This was agreed to, and
lands in cultivation were valued at the price of
before the war. Unrt claimed lands were re?
garded as pasture lands, aDd valued at five dol?
lars per acre. Although tb ese valuations far ex?
ceeded the present market price, we were satis?
fied, believing the justice of our com se would
prove our anxiety to comply with the require?
ments of law. But to our surprise, when called
upon to pay taxes, we find our returns entirely
changed. Lands valned at five dollars are as?
sessed at figures ranging from twenty to twen?
ty-two dollars per acre, and cultivated lands
have an addition of from ten to thirteen dollars
per acre.
Upon this valuation twenty-five per cent, is
added for county purposes, and upon the
whole, fifty per cent, additional for State pur?
poses.
If it be law that seventy-five per oent. should
be added to our valuation of property, I have
nothing to co -upiam of, as we know that so
long ee the State is controlled by a party of
non-property-holders, who create useless offices
to maintain power, and who do not feel tbe
burthen of taxation, which is equal to a confis?
cation, we bare nothing to boos for or ex?
pect but heavy taxation; but what I do com?
plain of is the arbitrary, unjust and tyrannical
power vested in your assessor or Board of
County Commissioners, who, without ever
visiting our property, and in direct violation of
this law, has changed^be valuation of the as?
sistant assessors, who were sent upon the pro?
perty, ana whom we aided in rendering justice
to the 8tate as well as ti e proprietor. Now, I
respectfully ask if this injustice meets your
approval?
Again, we were requested to notify our la?
borers that the assessor waa ready to take
their returns, and a day was appointed for tbe
purpose. Only a few colored citizens appear?
ed. Upon inquiring the cause, we were told
that members of Union Leagues bad to pay no
taxes. Time has passed-we bave been oblig?
ed to pay our taxes-and no efforts are being
made to collect the taxes from those io our
employ, or tbe many colored farmers around
us. Our people cannot be satisfied with an
administration that, to every aopearanoe, does
not intend making State officers collect taxes
from colored men Laws are passed and mani?
festoes issued purporting that J natte a shall bi
done the white citizen as well aa the colored.
Are these laws and manifestoes intended sim?
ply for the public eye ? Are we to infer that
the non-propertv-holders of the State who con?
trol tbe government have given this unlimited
power lo assessors and county con missioners,
for the purpose of so changing thq valuation
of property, that the amount required for State
purposes can be raised, without calling on tbe
colored people for even a poll tax ?
It earn ot be disputed that, had State officers
compelled the colored citizens to make returns,
our taxes would not be snob a burthen. Does
it meet your Excellency's approval that our la?
borers should be exempt from paying taxes
upon their dogs, hogs, cows, and from the poll
or educational tax, while we bavo been com?
pelled to pay these taxes ? (and thc education?
al tax to be used for the education of colored
children.)
If your Excellency will but give us justice,
and prove to us that the white man shall be as
fairly dealt with SB the c ol re 1 man, the law
abiding citizen will recognize you as practicing
what you call upon us to do; and to a man
tbev will raliv to tbe support of laws, when
impartially executed. SAKTEE.

that Sahara is the bed of an old Bea displaced

assertion, M. de Lesseps, a little time ago.sent
some engineers to extmino the configuration

his beccmo convinced that the desert in ques?
tion was at ita nearest limit twenty-seven me?
tres below the level of the Bed Sea, and that
the depression weet On iucreasing towards the
interior. He is, therefore, of opinion that a
canal seventy-five miles in length would suffise
to put the Bed Sea and the Sahara m commu?
nication, restore to the latter its original desti?
nation, and create an easy method of inter?
course with Central Africa by mews of these
artificial oceans."
TBE GEORGIA EXPRESS ROBBERT.
Arrest of Three Parties Charged with
the Crime- Confession of a State's Wit?
ness-Further Details of the ASTalr
How the Mobber y was Committed.
Hie Augusta Chronicle, of yesterday, gives
the following full sod interesting parti clara of
the great express robbery which occured on
the line of the Georgia Central Railroad on
the 2*2 J nit., together with the steps which
have t bus far been taken towards tbs convic?
tion of tbe perpetrators :
On the evening of the 22J day of last Jul v.
air. Butler Mays, a resident of Woodlawn, m
the suburbs ot this city, and employed m this
division of the Southern Express Company in
tbe cipacity of a messenger on the Central
Railroad, between Savannah and Macon, lett
the office of the company in the latter c;ty in
charge of th? money chest and au average
amount of other express freight. The freight
was conveyed in the wagons of the company
to the depot of the Central Railroad where it
was deposited in the express car, and soon
afterward tbe train started for Savannah. Be?
sides the passengers and employees of the
railroad on the train that nigbt, there were
also on board two train bauds, Francis B.
Bland and - Lissi ter, both of this city,
and a third party, a baggag>master named
Hargrove, from Savannah. The train of cars,
beside tbe engine and tender, consisted of a
box car, next to this a car divided into two
compartments, and known as the Macon ex?
press and baggage car-the first compartment
being occupied b> the Macon messeuger,
while tbo second compartment was filled with
baggage for Macon-a partition, with a door
in it, separated the two rooms; next to this
the Angosta express and baggage :or; then s
Becond-class passenger ear; and following this
the other passenger cars.
When the train bad arrived at Station No.
Two from Savannah, Mr. Mays lett his ctr
and weut with the baggage-master, Hargrove,
into the second-class passenger car, where a
watermelon waa cut and eaten in company, we
understand, with Bland and Laseiter. f*ot
long after this the messenger, feeling sleepy,
went back to the Macon baggage car with
Hargrove. Arrived there, Hargrove, who
kept the key of the door between the two
rooms, opened the door and Mays went to bed,
telling Hargrove, as the hitter turned to leave
the express tor his own car, to be sure and
lock the door between them. This was done,
and Mays went to sleep aim DB t immediately af?
terward.
Several hours afterward the train anived at
Millen, where it met tlie down night train from
this city, and the messenger awoke. Taking
his safe key from his pocket he opened his
money chest for the purpose of transferring
the money packages for Augusta and receiving
those for Macon. It was st thu time that the
loss was first discovered. When the safe waa
opened the messenger found that four pack?
ages, containing in the aggregate s great deal
moro tban fonr thousand dollars, had bean
taken from the chest. While be so soundly
slumbered some pet soo or persons mnst hare
entered the car, searched his person, without
awaking bun from bis sleep, and taken the
key from the pocket of the sleeper, robbed the
safe of the four packages sod returned the key
again, getting ont undiscovered.
THU SUSPECTS!) PASTIS*.
When the messenger discovered his loss, he
went on to Macon and informed the company
of tbe robbery. As soon ss the officers or the
company had been informed of what had tasen
placo, Geneial Superintendent O'Brien and Di?
vision Superintendent Dempsey pet eagerly to
work to discover the sn thors of the robbery.
After hearing the circumstances which preced?
ed the robbery, we are informed that suspicion
atonas fell on the three parties above men?
tioned. Bland, Lissi ter and Hargrove, but
there was no clue which could lead to their
arrest. Ascertaining tbat the partie i, or at
least two of them, were residents of Augus?
ta, tb6 police of this city were pnt on their
trick. Still, however, for more than two whole
weeks the affair bung fire. Though these
men were strongly suspected of having com?
mitted the robbery, there waa no tee timony to
sustain the charge, and any false moveman-,
any arrest on suspicion alone, wonld ruin ere
rything. Accordingly the affair was kept as
quiet as possible, that tho suspected parties
might not become frightened, whilst the police
nev i for a moment ceased their exertioas. Up
to th ) first of August, so quiet had the adair
been kept, that not a ne vspaper in the State
had gotten hold of it, and on that morning tbe
robbery was published for the first time in the
columns of the Chronicle and Sentinel.
THE AB BUST MA DZ.
Thus the affair progressed until last Satur?
day morning; the suspicions of tbs polios still
resting on the same parties, bnt no positiv*
proof having been obtained of their guilt.
Ono of the men, Frank Bland, was suspected
more strongly than either of the others; for
t no UR h of known impecuniosity, he was h nu g
in s very extravagant style, and seemed to be
very flush of brads. OJ the evening of satur?
day the three men were all ascertained to bs IB
the city, and it was determined that the time
had arrived for etrik.ng the blow. Accordingly
a warrant was obtained and the police officer?
sallied out and found and arrested Hargrove
and Laasiter on TwiggB-street. Turning over
theda two men, as soon aa arrested, to soms
privates, the officers rode rapidly to a bar?
room in the upper part of the oity, sear
the corner of Broad and Campbell streets,
where Bland was also discovered and captur?
ed, without offering any resistance, though
bom bis well knows character for courage, a
fight might hivo boen expected. The three
wera immediately taken ti? the City Hall and
carried before Justice Ells. The prisoners
were searched tor tbo money, but the search
waB unsuccessful. On Hargove was found only
twenty dolla:.-; on Bland fourteen dollars and
a quarter, and oa Lassiter twenty-five cents.
Before Justice Eds nothing once ram g the
robbery was elicited. All three of them stout?
ly protested their innoceuce, and Bland said,
with an oath, that he was "none too good to
do it; but that he never would have entered an
express safe and only taken four thousand dol?
lars." It was remarked, too, that while in the
police officer's loom and charged with the rob?
bery, be exclaimed that "so rou :h money was
not' taken." Nothing having transpired at this
time, the accused were committed to jail in
default of four thousand dollars bail which was
demanded.
BLAITD HAKES A C0XTB38I0X.
After an incarceration of the prisoners,
great efforts wera made to induce one of the
three to turn State's evidence; for if that was
not accomplished tho arrest would have been
of no avail, lt this was done it most ba done
quickly in order that the money might bi re?
covered before it was curried away from the
city by outside parties who must have it in
their possession. These efforts were attended
with such success t nat, oa yesterday morning
Bland, fearful, it seems, that Hargrove would
leave him in the lurch, determined to antici?
pate any Ftep of that kind; and tnrned State's
evidence himself aud made a confession ot the
crime.
In his confession he stated that he was on
the train tho night of the twenty-second of
July with Hargrove, Lassiter and Mays. That
himself and Hargrove had previously made a
plot to rob Mays, but that Ltssiter bad noth?
ing to do witu'tbe attar; that at Number Two
Station Mays went into the baggage car with
thom and ate a watermelon; that subsequently
Mays complained of being sleepy, and went to
bed in bis car, as we have above aeson bed; that
when Mays had gone to sleep Hargrove opened
the door betwean the express and baggage
cars and entered the ronner, whilo Bland
remained on the outside ; that when Har
frove had entered he took the chest
ey from the person of the messenger,
opened the safe and nfl jd it; that he tbeu
locked it again, replace! the key and left
the car; that when Hargrove cams out to
where Bland was he told tba latter be bad only
found five hundred dollars in the chest and
gave bim halt of it, two hundred aud fifty
collars, which sum the latter accepted. After
the robbery was committed Bland and Har?
grove carno on to Augusta-they ran between
Augusta aud Savannah-while Mays weat oa
to ?lacon. Bland says that be had no idea
more tbau five hundred dollars had been
taken until he saw the account of the robbery
on last Sunday week, and that even arter that
Hargrove denied taking more than the first
named amount.
W2KBZ U TUB MOSEY ?
Blend's confession seems to fix the crime,
but, otifortunately for the Southern Express
Comuany, it has not assisted in the discovery
t<t the stolen thousands. Bland, on yesterday,
pretended to know where the money, or rather
a portion ef it, could be found, and ho was
token by the police others te the designated
boose, bar nothing was found there. Daring
the day the house where his mother lives was
searched, but with tbe same want of BU cess,
and up to a late hour last night the money iras
stall miEBing. In well posted circles it is
thought that Blands confession is not a full
one, that he did get half of the forty-nine hun?
dred dollars which Hargrove took from the
express safe, and that he has lt now concealed
in this city. Despite the confession or Bland.
Hargrove stoutly maintains his innocence, and
has employed counsel-Mr. A. D. Picquet-to
defend bim. A preliminary examination of the
three accused will take place before Justice
Elle Borne time to-day. Lassiter's innocence
having been established, we understand that
he will be discharged from custody this morn?

TJIE TOTAL ECLIPSE.
Bow lt Appeared at Haleigh, Nortn Caro?
lin*, and Springsleid, Illinois.
A letter from Raleigh, N. C., describing the
eclipse, which was total at that point, says:
Tbe scene at the time ot totality was magni?
ficent beyond description. At 5.08 tbe eclipse
began, the shadow gradually covering the disc
of the san until complete. At tho Bun
was half obscured, and at 6.02? the eclipse was
total, and remained so for ODO hundred and
eighteen seconds. A thermometer, which was
placed in the Bun, stood at ninety-three de?
grees at 5.08; at 5.44$ it fell to seventy-three
degrees, and at the time of the total eclipse it
lea to sixty-eight degrees, the air growing
rapidly colder, while the ?bole atmosphere as?
sumed a hazy and leaden appearance.
Immediately succeeding the total obscura?
tion the corona became visible and brilliant.
Corruscations seemed to flash and radiate
from the circumference of the moon. Undula?
tions ot soft white light burst oat brilliantly
and repeatedly, until the close, when Venus.
Mercury and Mars shone out in magnificent
splendor. A peculiar gloom spread like a pall
over the landscape, while ohangicg tints of
black, orange, indigo and leaden hues covered
the heavens near the horisoo, north and south.
The spectacle was magnificent and sublime and
the crowd about the cupola spontaneously burst
out with ''Praise Qod from whom all blessings
flow." During the totality two blades of crim?
son light seemed to cut the moon's circumfer?
ence, and curved lines were visible across the
disc of the moon, resembling the groined pro?
jections of the top of some gothic cathedral.
No point could have offered better facilities for
taking an observation than this, and the cir?
cumstances were all that could be wished.
Every facility was extended by Dr. Gnssom, of
tbe asylum, and to whom the Washington
party aro much indebted.
A dispatch from Springfield, Illinois, says :
The total eclipse at Springfield, Illinois, was
a startling and sublime phenomenon. Tbe sky
was perfectly clear. Professor Pearce, of Har?
vard, bad charge of the observations which
were made near tbe city reserv?n:. A hundred
photographs of the eclipso wero taken by Mr.
Black, of Boston. When the total observation
took place the heavens and earth presented a
scene of awful su ohm itv. A bril ian t amber-col?
ored corona appeared around the sun and moon,
shooting rays of light outward in all direc?
tions, when the whole horizon was illuminated
with light of the same color. Tbe planets Mer?
cury and Venus and a number of fixed i tars
were distinctly visible, but no planetoid* be?
tween Mercury and the san were discovered.
Brilliant rays of colore i fl kmc or protuberances
were noticed on the western limb ol the suu
during the period of toi al obscuration.
The phenomenon known as "Bailey's Beads "
was also distinctly witnessed. Tbe phenome?
non, Professor Pearce thinks, is occasioned by
refraction of light. He ia also satisfied that the
corona at the time of total obscuration was oc?
casioned by the Bun's atmosphere.
The moment the eclipse became total, the
flame-likp protuberances ware teen with won
dort ul distinctness, one very large on the lower
limb of the son, and three nearly as large on
the upper limb, while at least seven or eight ot
them in all v. er 3 vibible. The one on tbe right
band or lower limb bad somewhat the appear?
ance of a full-rigged ship with sails set. Io its
part nearest the moou were two of tbejetbhvk
spots. To the naked eye it seemed as though
there were openings of fissures in the moon, two
on the east side and o ie on the southwest side.
Just after the total eclipse, through three open?
ings. the lurid glow ot the sun was dis'iuctly
visible. The corona was not, as generally de?
scribed in books, ?cc, a halo of light surround?
ing tut moon, but was distinctly seen to bo a
fine pointed prong on the lower and two on
the upper circumference of the moon. Tbe
points presented u radiant appearance. The
generally rocoir. d theory regardin r this co?
rona, that it is tin atmosphere of the sun,
floes not seem to be sustained by observations
made at this point. Ic is conjectured that tbe
corona is in some way caused hy the phenome?
na of light passing through tho atmosphere.
Although soaroh was mads no planetary bodies
were observed between Mercury and the sun.
During the to tah ty phase, Mercury, Venus,
Regulus, Mars, Saturn and other stars were
viaiblo. Temperature in the shade at tho be?
ginning of the eclipse was 77 degrees; during
totality 45 degrees, asd at the end it bad riseu
to 70 degrees; at 3.40, in the sun, in the gross,
the thermometer WJM at 103 degrees: a few
minutos after 4 o'clock it rose to 102 degrees,
while dun se the total ec'ipse it fell te 60 de?
grees, hst subsequently rose to 80 degroes.
THE WIFE .VAR XE i Ut Jt USS I A.
Sitting ap all night with a couple of Russian
ladies might or might not suggest tho idea of
telling you somo'.hing of tho marriage cus?
toms ox Ibis strange cou airy. A French wri?
ter, whose name I forget, had truly said, "the
Russians are a nation of polite savages; ' a re?
mark that is not very apt, bat it helps ss to?
ward a proper un lernt indine; of the social con?
dition of the people. The rich are very rich;
tbe poor are very poor. The nobles are court?
ly, polite and as refined in manners as tboae of
the same class in Germany, but tbe serfs, or
! those who bolongoi to the nobles, witb tLe
soil, before the emooeipakion, are rude and sot
half civilized.
Almost as soon as a girl is born, in thc bet?
ter ranks of society, ber parents begio to pre?
pare the dowry sho must have when she goes
to her husband; tor this is indispensable in tho
eyes of any Bussian young gea (lera au who pro?
poses to be married. K be must furnish every?
thing for an outfit in life, even to a dozen new
shirts for her cumin? husband.
1 have beard of a lady ot rank and wealth
who had prepared a costly dowry of silks, linen,
jewels, plate, for her beloved daughter,
who died as sho cimo to be twenty years old.
ibo mother resolved to e.idow M?X girls with
these riches, and actually advertised for them.
A host of applicants carno, and she selected six.
None of them had lovere; but now that they
bad a respectable dowry secured, each girl was
speedily engaged, and, with the husband, took
tbe dowry, and paid the rich lady by promis?
ing to pray for the repose of ber daughter's
soul.
In no country is the arrangement of terms
carried on with more caution and completeness
than in Russia. Tbs young man goes to tho
house of his proposed bride and counts over
the dresses and examines tho furniture, and
sees to the whole with his own eyes, bet?re he
com.-nito himself to tho irrevocable birdum.
In high life such things ire con darted with
raor? apparent delicacy ; but the facta uro as?
certained with accuracy, the business being in
the bands of a broker or a notary. The trous?
seau is exposed in public before the wedding
day.
At Whitsunday there is a enri?os custom,
which is gradually giving way with the ad?
vance of civilization. Tbe young people of a
neighborhood come together, and the girls
Btind in a row, liko so many statues, draped,
indeed, and not only draped, but dressed in
their best, and painted, too; for tho young la?
dies, and the older ones oleo, of tbis country,
use cosmetics freely, and a box of lady's p.int
is a very common pres mt for a young manto
make to the girl he likes. Behind the row of
girls are their mothers. Tho young men hav?
ing made known their choice, the terms are
settled between the parents of the parties.
The ladies in Russia are very anxious to mar?
ry, because they have no liberty before mar?
riage. They are kept constantly under tho ma?
ternal eye until they are given up to the hus?
band, and then they take their own course,
which is a round of gayety and dissipation, only
regulated by their m .ans of indulgence. The
Greek Cbureb, Lke the Roman, permits no di?
vorce ; but the Emperor, bte tbe Pope, can
grant special dispensations. The Greek priest
can marry once, and if bis wife dies he cannot
marr}' again. No one in Russia ?an be mar?
ried more than three times.

radical change hu been introduced lo ths practice
of medicine. Physicians have ceased to torture sud
prostrate their patienta. Ina'ead of pulling ri own,
they build up; intfteal of assaulting Nature, they
assist her. Cupping, leeching, blistering, venesec?
tion, taloiueL antimony, stuplrylng narcotics, snd
rasping purgatives, once the ravorite resources of
the faenlty, are now rsrsly resorted to even by the
most dogmatic members of the . rofession. Ths old
creed was that disease wes somsthlng which must
be expel? d by violent artificial means, irrespective
of tbs wear sod tear of the vital organization in the
process. The new creed recognizes the improve?
