Russia and Poland.

The political and social regeneration of
Eastern Europe, and in particular of the
two great nations in North Eastern Europe
the Russians and the Poles-is progress
ing at a rapid rate. The abolition of serf-
dom in Russia, the Inauguration of con-
stitut!onal form of government in the Grand
Duchy of Finland, with the creation of dis
trict and provincial representative assem-
blies in Russia, and other reformatory acts,
have recently been followed by ukase, de-
claring the Polish peasants proprietors of
the land which they are at present cultiva-
ting. The measure is radical, sweeping.
and sIipuiates for no exception. Whether
those lands formerly belonged to the Grown,
or to institutions, or to private parties, they
will hencefOrth be the property of the
peasants.
Nor does this important measure stop
here. The Polish peasant will not only be
his own master and freenolder, but at the
same time cease to be subject to the iuris-
diction of the nobemen, who hitherto have
had an almost Unlimited control over him.
Hereafter, the communities of peasants will
have the right of self-government, and peas
ants will themselves choose the local au-
thorities. As compensation for all these
new privileges, the peasant will pay a small
sum TO the Government. to be used for in

The Diving Wife

The following most touching fragment Of
a letter from a dying wife to her husband
was found some months after her death, be-
tween the leaves of q religious volume
which she was fond of reading. The letter,
which was literally dim with tear marks,
was written long before the husband was
aware that the grasp of fatal disease had
fastened upon the lovely form of his wife,
who died at the early age of nineteen
"When this shall reach your eye, dear
-, some day when you are turning

spicy-what a Boston Girl Wants.

The editress of the Boston Olive Branch
having received a communication from
Nashville, Tennessee inquiring whether
some female printers could be obtained there
to go to Nashville, replied:
Every girl in Boston who is old enough
to work in a printing Office, or any other
office, has lover, whom she would be Just
as likely to trade off for a Tennessee article
as she would be to swap him for grizzly
