Some fifty miles from St. Petersburg. upon the Lake of Ladoga, there is a small granite Island entirely occupied byafortress. It is Schlusselburg, the dreadful prison of State, worse than the French Bastile, worse than the fortress of St. Peter and St. Paul with its Troubctzkoi and Alcaecvsky rave< lins and its underground cells. The most resolute of the revolutionists, men and women, who have taken part in actual con- spiracies, whom it is not considered safe to keep in the fortress of Peter and Paul, are sent there. The absence of any inhabitants, except those employed in the service, rend- ers it possible to isolate the prisoners to a degree unattainable anywhere else, No one is allowed to land upon the island ; sentinels have orders to shoot any one who approaches. If the near relatives of a pri- soner inquire concerning him at the Police Department, in St. Petersburg, they are sometimes told “ alive ”or “ dead ”: some- times no answer is given. The soldiers and guards are themselves prisoners, who mingle only with each other, and are carefully watched on the rare occasions when they are allowed to make a visit to the mainland. It was possible to establish secret communi- cations with even the most jealously guard- ed ravelins of the St. Petersburg fortress. But the fortress of Schlusselburg remained dumb, like the grave it is. Though some of the best known men of the revolution party, in whom the greatest interest was felt among the whole body of revolutionists, were kept there, We rarely could even tell whether they were alive or dead. A few months ago, however, our friends in Russia received some news from this place of end- less misery. It it very brief, only such as can be conveyed upon a bit of paper smug- gled with the greatest danger through some friendly hand. It merely tells which of the prisoners are dead and which are still alive, but even this summary is eloquent enough. We learn from it that out of the fifty-two pi'isoners sent there in the course of the last eight years, twenty, or about 40 per cent. are already dead. Several of those who survive should be added to the list of the dead. They are insane, and have lost what isasprecious, if not more precious, to a man than life. W Here and There. Much has been said during the last few months about the Chinese attacks upon Christian missionaries and the distress and suffering caused by them. Stories of mis« sion buiI‘lings torn down and men and women abused, and, in one or two cases, seriously injured or killed, have been pub- lished, and considerable apprehension has been felt for the safety of all foreign resi- dents in China. It all served to empha- size the barbarism of the Celestial Empire, and doubtless, in a measure, tended to inâ€" crease the interest felt by all members of Christian churches in missionary work among the Chinese. We have no wish in the least to reflect upon that interest and feeling, but only to call attention to heath- enism in the United States that is more disgraceful to the civilization of the cen- tury than all the riots which have dis- turbed pagan China. For the past two weeks a violent anti-Chinese crusade has been carried on at Missoula, Mont. Harm less and peaceable celestials whose chief oflense has been their willingness to work and who had come to America before the passage of the anti~Chinese law for that purpose and not to proselytc, have been boycotted, beaten, tarrcd and feathered and made to suffer all manner of indig- nities by white hoodlums who probably possessed not one-half the good qualities of the patient and industrious Chinamen. On last Sunday, the day of the Week that is supposed to be in ameasure given up to good works in Christian countries, a party of fif- teen masked whites raided the ranch of a prosperous Chinese gardener, who probably had never done anything more at r-ocious than sell vegetables for a good price to these hood- lums, destroyed his cabin and all its belong- ings, beat one inmate shockingly, and tarred and feathered another. Here was an out- break of heathenism in a. Christian country ten times more disgraceful than any in China. This was an evidence of Christian love and brotherhood that will unfortunately counâ€" teract the work of half a dozen missions and mission schools in China. The authorities ought to see to it that the perpetrators are punished, but if it depends upon State offi- cers and State law,they probably will not be. They will escape as easily and surely as the rioters who pulled down Christian schools in China. Yet the United States is a Chris tian land and China is pagan. The two pic- tures are enough to make every Christian, and every philanthropic lover of his kind, whether white or yellow, hang his head in shame. _â€"-â€".‘â€"â€" Sign! Restored at Ninety-live. The \Velsh newspapers report a remark- able event in the village of Llanon. Cardiâ€" ganshire, where the Rev. \Villiam Herbert, late rector of the parish, entertained 500 of his parishioners at tea in commemoration of the restoration of his eyesight in his 95th year. The reverend gentleman, who is the oldest clergyman in the principality, had held the living of Llanon for half a century. Six years ago he lost his sight and resigned the rectorship in consequence. During the last few months he has been under the treatment of an eminent Manchester oculist, and the cataracts being removed from his eyes his sight has been completely restored, and he is now enabled to read the services in church. DIG-GER IND] AN 'I‘ASTES. A California “on Adventure Which Ended in a Feast. While travelling on the Pacific Coast some time ago in search of health and useful in- formation 1 found myself, late in the Autumn, at Bass‘s Station, on the Still- water, in Shasta County, Cal. A more de- lightful place can hardly be imagined. Becoming attached to the little settlement, I remained there for some time, andin com- pany with Mr. Bass and his sonâ€"in-law, er. Dunning, made many excursions into the surrounding country. One day we started out on a hunting ex- pedition, well mounted and armed With \Vinchester rifles. After several hours of indifferent sport we came to a. deep spring at the foot of an overhanging rock and shaded by a. widely spreading tree. “ I must have a drink,” I said stopping my horse and springing to the ground, and without noticing that my companions were riding on I placed my rifle along the edge of the spring, knelt down upon it, and bend- ing over began to quench my thirst. All at once there was a slight rustlingin theleaves over my head, then a rushing sound in the air, and before I could look up or change my position it seemed as though a mountain had fallen upon me. I was borne down into the water, my face and head being submerged, and then it was that I felt the sharp claws of some wild beast piercing my flesh and its cruel teeth fastening themselves in my neck. With great difficulty I managed to raise my hcad above the water and gave utterance to such a shriek as never passed my lips before, an l the next instant I had the satisfaction of hearing the sound of rapidly approaching footsteps. Then there was a pause, then the sharp report of a rifle, and the animal on my back with a cry of rage or pain, leaped to the bank and darted off through | the Chaparral It wasaCalifornia lion, and it was not my cry alone that had brought me succor, for at sight of the beast, my horse, with a neigb of terror, had started offin the direct- ion taken by my companions. Seeing the riderless animal, they had stopped and turned when my cry reached them, and throwing his bridle to Bass, Mr. Dunning bad leaped to the ground and rushed to- ward the spring with his rifle ready. I was out of the water by the time he reached me, and, though badly Wounded and shaken, was burning for revenge. “Come,” I said, picking up my rifle, “ Let's track that cowardly beast and put an end to him ; I never can go home satis- fied if we do not.” “All right,” was the reply; “come on, if you feel able, I think we can find him again.” At that moment we heard the crack of Bass’s rifle and knew that he was on the track of the beast. We hurried forward and came up with Bass just in time to see the lion take to a tree. “ Now we have him,’ said Dunning, and running to the tree We began to salute the wild beast in its branches. Dunning suc- ceeded in breaking its foreleg, and my second shot brought it tumbling to the ground quite dead. " It‘s yours, cried my friend. will you do with it?” “I’d like it’s skin,” I replied, “to take East as a. trophy.” “ That we can manage,” said Mr. Bass, “ provided we can get the creature home.” “ I think my horse will carry it,” said Dunning, and we attempted to put it on his back. The animal made a great fuss at first, whinnying and trembling in every limb, but at last, when its master had mounted, it con- sented to go along quietly enough. My horse was soon recovered, and an hour later we arrived home safely with our game and de- posited it on the ground back of the barn. “ Now,” said Bass,‘ ‘ we’ll leave it till some Diggers come along, whom we can easily get to skin it and prepare the pelt.” Two days passed with no signs of an In- dian, but on the evening of the third day, when the game was no longer fresh, Billy Button, a smart young Digger, came along with Red Bird, his blushing bride, and old Big Head, his father-in-law. “ Now we are all right,” said Mr. Bass, and halling the trio he called them back of the barn, where, pointing to the dead lion, he said : “ Skin him : how much ?" \Vithout a word Billy drew his family to one side, and having filled his own and his father-in-law’s pipe, they squatted on the ground and smoked them out ; then, after a. few muttered words between them, he arose and approaching us said: “ One dollar.” “ To much,” rejoined Bass : “ four hits.” The Digger turn away. Another pipe followed, when he came up again with “ si)~ bits. " “ No,” said Bass, firmly. “ four." Again Billy returned to his family and, after the usual pipe, informed us that they would do the job for four hits provided that they could have the carcass. “All right,” said Bass. Then to me: ”you have no objections, I suppose ‘3" “ Objections?” I exclaimed, “none in the world. They may eat it for all I care.” " That's just what they mean to do, ” was the matter-offact reply. “Great Scott ! you (ll n’t mean it ‘L’ " I ex- claimed. “\Vait and see,” said Bass. And sure enough, a few minutes later a fire was kindled, the skin was stripped from the wild beast, and large pieces of the flesh were cooking over the burning coals. The three in an evident state of bliss, feasted far into the night, and when I visited the spot the next morning I found the skin nailed to the side of the barn, but no other vestige of my enemy did I see, all had disappeared with the noble red man. NW.~ ') “ \Vhat A Verdict of Guilty. A (lespatcli from Montreal says :â€"The case of Ellen Enright, of Renfrew, Ontario, tried for the secretion of the dead body of her cliild,was finished to-day in the Court of Queen’s Bench and a verdict of guilty was returned. The first charge was infanticide, but the grand jury brought in a “ no bill.” The sentence will no doubt be light. The young woman’s testimony before the coroner was read in court to-day and Miss Enright alleges that the postmaster of an eastern Ontario town was her seducer.

A French officer, named Verdict, render;- ed himself famous throughout fiance, by never having lost a. bet. Changing in!» another regiment, on thenight of hisarrival, the officers gave a supper in his honor. The General, who was present, said to ‘. him, “Is it true, Verdier, that you never lose a bet 2‘” ' ' “ Quite true, Genera .” . “ And how do you manage it ‘2” ‘ u “ Well, I ama. hisiognomist, and Inever ' bet except when P am sure of winning.” “ A phisiognomist 2” exclaimed the gen- eral. “ Then what do you read in my fgfi” 1 “ You ask me a very awkward question, General. Iâ€"-I-â€"” “ Oh, never mind,” said the General, “ but out with it.” “ Well, General, since you willphave it. I read that the old wound on your back has broken out again. ” “ It‘s an infamous lie,” thundered the General. “ But General, â€"â€"â€"" said Vcrdier. ” No buts, air, when I declare the con- , trary. What will you bet? Five hundfed francs 2” ' “ So be it. General.” The General, in a. towering passion, im' mediately proceeded to tear ofi'nll his cloth- ing, until he at length stood like Adam be:- fore the fall. All the officers of the re iment approached and examined the Gene ’5 hack, and after the severest scrutiny, they declared that there was neither a wound, nor even the sign of a soar to be found. “ Ha ‘. Verdier, you have lost for oncegin your life,” said the General, triumphantly. “ So it appears, General ; but the best: of us, sometimes make a. mistake,” saying which \‘erdier handed over the five hundred francs. The General never retired to rest that night, until he had writtento the Colonelof Verdier's old regiment saying, “ Verdict, has just made a. bet with me and Lost it! ! i” To which the Colonel replied, “ My dear General, your simplicity would be deliglft- ful, were it not that your winning five hun- dred francs has caused me to lose five thou- sand ! “,The night Verdier left the regiment, he wagered with me, that the first night he met you, he would in the presence of all the ofl‘icers of your regiment compel you to take off your shirt ; and that you yourself would be first to acquaint me with the fact.” Marriage in High Life.
