SERFDOM IN RUSSIA.

The Campaigns of lSl3-'l5 are known to
have brought about important changes in the
constitution Of Russian society, and in the
relations Of the mobiles and serfs. Before
that period, the more numerous and less
wealthy class of the Russian nobility, in
trenched in traditional customs and exclu-
sively national manners, had very imper-
feet idea Of the internal civilization Of the
West-serfdom was not then. Or at an ear
lier period, the tremendous evil it has since
become. The mobiles resided on their es-
tates; !; differed little in the habits of life
from The peasantry and having more than
sufficient Of the coarse abundance to which
they were accustomed, had little temptation
to be exorbitant in their demands upon the
serfs. Most Of them were on the obrok
that is, the village paid collectively certain
sum to the lord, apportioning it as they
thought proper, among themselves plan
which often gave birth to an excellent COM
munaI organization. Many of the villages
are still on this plan /; and were the amount
Of the obrok fixed and moderate, the condi-
tions Of the villagers would be highly advan-
tageous, and would practically differ but
little from that Of peasant proprietors /; but
the one circumstance that even in these cases
vitiates the whole position is, that it depends
entirely on the will Of the landlord. After
the campaigns alluded to, many Of the no.
bles. who had before been content with a
rude and simple mode of life, acquired
a taste for the pleasures and luxuries of
the great capitals Of Europe, and had re-
course to the most shameful oppression of
their serfs, in order to obtain means for these
indulgencies others got into debt, and,
after having burdened their estates with
mortgages, sold out to men who had grown
rich by the profits of Government employ
ment, or by methods still more reprehen-
sible. The new lords were strangers to the
serfs-there existed between .hem none of
those ties of reverence and affection trans
mitted from generation TO generation, which
in primitive state of society have often
tended greatly to mitigate the evils Of servi-
tude. The peasants regarded the new mas
ter, whom they considered an intruder, with
coldness and suspicion and he, on his side,
often viewed them IN no other light than as
machines for the creation Of wealth-nof
MEN, but hands and with such feelings on
both sides, the administration of the seig-
norial estates became altered greatly for the
worse. Others Of the mobiles removed their
peasants from the cultivation Of the soil, and
them into factory workmen- III

PUBLIC LIBRARIES.

The Annual Report Of the Board of Re-
gents Of the Smithsonian Institution, for the
past year, exhibits comparative view of
the public libraries of Europe and the United
States, of which the annexed is condensed
statement.
Taking into view the Libraries Of Germany,
France, Great Britain, Russia, U. States,
Denmark, Belgium, Sweden, Spain and Nor
way, it would seem that, in proportion to
population, Denmark is better provided with
books than any other country in the world !;
while Russia and Spain, OUT Of all the coun-
tries above enumerated, exhibit paucity of
reading for their people.
The number of libraries (pubIic) and the
aggregate number of: books in each country
are ascertained from late examinations to be

OHIo-HER POPULATION AND RESOURCES.
We hnd in the last number of the Western
Quarterly Review, published at Cincinnati,
valuable article on the State Of Ohio A
table which it gives Of the population al DIFF
ferent periods, shows an increase from 1920
to 1880, of 81 l-2 per cent, and from 1880
to 1910, of the same amount, and shows that
if they calculate the population for 1850, at
the same per cent, we shall have for that
year, 2,459, l32, while Pennsylvania, now
the second State in the Union, will have
population of 2, DOG, ,762. New York, calcu-
lating at its present rate of increase, will
have population in 1850, of3 ,O39, Isl. Tho
two great States of the Union will then stand,
New York 3,O39.I5l
Ohio 2.459.I32
Thu. it will be seen that New York will
then only be in advance of Ohio something
over half million souls.
There are, according to the Review, 25,-
OO0, 900 acres of good agricultural land in
Ohio. The aggregate value of real and per-
sonal property it estimates at 5000 900 600,
although the assessed wealth of the State for
taxation is S42l .O67, ,49I; the value Of The
annual agricultural productions it estimates
at something over Sl2O. .OOO, 600.
There are now raised annually
Wheat 2s,0OO,000 bush.
Oats 5000. 900 Sc
Corn $4,000, 900 &c
Potatoes IO,OOO, 900 :"
The Review estimates the capacity, for
the production of wheat and corn as follows:

Corn 4SO, ,OOO, 900 :. -
Mather, in his report, Gays that a bed Of
six feet, covering an area of 5000 square
miles, would not be an over estimate of the
mineral resources in the article of coal; and
the Review says that "every square mile;
containing two yards in thickness Of worka-
BILE coal, will yield about 600 900 600 tons, !.
and that, making all necessary allowance for &
increased population and manufactures, We
have coal, within a moderate depth, suffi-
cient for consumption during 1000 years.
In addition to this, there are extensive beds
of iron ore throughout the State.
We extract what the Review says further :
on the subject:
"The beds of ore are easy Of access, and
associated with minerals necessary for its
reduction, cannot fail to be immense sources
of wealth. Most of the working beds of
ore are above the first workable bed of coal.
The amount of workable iron ore in Musk
ingum County is estimated at l53, 3,6OO.OOO
cubic yards, which, when smelted, will yield
about that number Of tons, IN pigs. we
need not now speak of localities. MIR. Briggs
closes his report on iron ore by the follow
ing
ga very low calculation Of the amount Of
good iron ore in the region which~has this
season. been explored, is equal to the solid,
unbroken stratum, sixty miles in length, SIX
~ miles in width, and three feet in thickness.

! sUS The Vatican, which crowns one Of
the seven hills of Rome, is group Of build
ings, covering space of 1900 by 1000 feet.
Its site was formerly occupied by the gardens
of Nero. The Vatican owes its origin to
the Bishops of Rome, who, in the sixth
century. erected an humble building on its
site. Pope Eugenius ILL.,, rebuilt il on
magnificent scale in ll5O "a few years af-
terwards, Innocent H., gave it as a lodging
to Peter H., king of Arragon.., In 1906.
Clement V. at the invitation of the King or
France, removed the Papal See from Rome
to Avignon, leaving the Vatican in obscurity
for seventy years. The Vatican became
once more the Papal residence in 1876, when
it was enlarged. Its famous library was
commenced 400 years ago. 1t now contains
sc 900 MSS, among which are some Of
Pliny, st. Charles Borrome, and many He
brew, Syriac, and Armenian bibles. The
Vatican is also the repository of vast
number of the rarest paintings, statues, Gu
riOus medals, and antiquities Of every kind
Upward of 10000 statues, have been ex-
himed from the Temples and Palaces Of
Rome, a great portion of which are in the

ample, when he established his factories, of
attaching to them villages Of workmen, and
had thus given rise to the idea that all labor
OF. the serfs belonged Of right TO the lord, and
that he was legally entitled to employ them

them the utmost profits he could obtain. In
many governments agriculture has been al
