'TOTAL .ABSTINENCE A$ PRACTISED IN GLASGOW.—The
'North Britisk
.Mail says:—unit is to be regretted, aithoulk
not surprising, that a number of the excursionists on
Saturday, under the auspices of the Abstainers' Union,
returned to town from Campsie fou.' The fact is, the
afternoon proved so wet that hundreds who went to enjoy
the beauties of Casnpsie Glen could not venture out of doors,
and !the' shelter ©f all the public-houses and inns in the
neighbourhood was necessarily had recourse to. The result
was that the three hours thus spent whilst awaiting the
return of the train GEered such an amount of temptation to
many that it was a bitter satire to call the party.en its
return an Abstainers' Union Excursion."

How S,EDITeERS OUGHT TO BE TREATED.—The following
is reported of ,a recent summary aet of justice by Wee
Emperor of Russia : —"A. military officer, a prince of.the
Galitzin family, having, with the aid of two comrades,
abducted aiitl" dishonoured a young girl, the daughter of a
civilian in ‘tiatubie life, her brother, in eonsequence of the
connivance of the police, being unable •,to obtain legal
redress, appealed direct to the Throne. The Czar instantly
compelled the prince to marry the sufferer, endowed her on
the spot with half of his worldiy goods, making her at once
very wealthy, and then immediately issued a ukase of
divorce, leaving ter entirely free. All the three officers
were transported to country regiment, deep in the heart
