English Books about Russia.

In a notice of Mr.. 6. I. Lowths Around the
Kremlin," Just published in London, the Spectd-
tor says:-''In the Public Library at st. Peters
burg a special compartment is reserved for
books written about Russia by foreigners. There
it is easy to form tolerably correct idea In a
few days of the reports on Russian manners and
customs which Western travellers have laid
before their countrymen. Some of those drawn
up~by Germans are good. Haxthausen and
Kohl, for instance, have in their different ways
gathered together most creditable amount of
in Russia have contributed TO the collec-
tion number of useful historical and scien-
tifc works. The books by French authors are
for the most part absurdiy incorrect but st
all events they often have the merit OF being
amusing. The Partisan tourist talks great non
sense, but it is so well expressed that 1T may be
recommended to readers who only Wish 10 while
away their time But the English books tor the
most part have not even this merit. Not only
are they almost always incorrect but they are
generally dull. the country being little known
in England, every one who has lounged away
a week at ST. Petersburg or Moscow looks upon
himself on his return home as competent autho-
rlty on Russian matters, and stralghtWay pro-
ceeds TO print such extraordinary statements
as may well make Russian critics wonder with
what manner OF intellect their Englis visitors
can possibly be endowed. The Same old stories
are repeated In almost all their productions,
the same strange misconceptions characterize
them throughout There are few, no doubt,
which may be spoken of with respect, but for
the most part, they are discredit to our lite.
rature NOR ls the Iact 10 De wondered AT, con-
siderng that they are generally founded
upon exceedingly meagIe books of reference,
and to great extent composed of stories picked
up in the course OF con- nyersation with singuarly
ignorant and prejudiced individuals, The ordi-
nary English resident at st. petersburg is not
exactly the best possible source OF sound inior-
nation, his judgments on what is going on
around him cannot invariably be relied upon,
his sympathy with the people among whom he
is iHVoluntarily thrown is net of the liyelies
nature, his views can scarcely be called ex

conclusive, and yet in all these books OF traye
he is perpetually cropping up as an authority
from whose sentence there Is no appeal The
Russians find IL difficult to understand why thii
should be the case. Knowing that the English
are famed as travellers and as writer's OF soUn(

against our New England brethren, and
the very men whose duty it is to correct
this, are the ones who do most to aggra-
vate the feeling and estrange our people.
Can not men learn to speak OF wrong as
they find it without condemning in harsh
terms the people OF an entire section of
country? They may have among them
men who dislike many of our customs and
habits, and consider them wrong, but if the
laws are not violated with impunity in our
midst, and life and property are rendered
secure, they have no right to find fault and
prescribe code of morals distasteful to
our sense of enjoyment. A better and
more tolerant feeling should pervade the
country.
The sooner church members of all demo-
Mutations and editors of newspapers COM
mence to reform the growing intolerant
feeling that pervades the country to very
serious extent, the better will it be for the
"peaee and good will of our people. As
new era is about to dawn upon us and
new year is soon to be ushered IN with
prospect of soon having change for the
better in the presiding genius of the "White
House," it seems to us that now is the pro-
pitious time to inaugurate reform in this
respect. We think this will suit the times.

CARRIER,s ADDRESSES.

We have determined this year to omit
the usual custom of inhicting upon our
readers piece of doggerel called for
courtesy 1.-THE Carriers Address" The
object of putting out these gorgeously
printed illusions is to afford The carriers an
opportunity for begging gratuity from sub
scribers. Our carriers are paid by US for the
faithful performance Of their duties, and
hence have no claim on the bounty of
our patrons. For these reasons, the read
ers of the REPUBLICAN will not this year be
annoyed by the opportunities of carriers
asking for aims from those who have SO
literally sustained us in our efforts to build
up paper.
