special telegram from New Albany, Indiana,
October 26 to the Cincinnati Gazette says
Southern Indiana has been again disgraced by
the outrages of a MOB. The particulars are as
follow, Last Wednesday night six men went
to the residence of John Fisher. near Orleans,
Orange county, and battered down the door
with rail. They entered the house and de-
manded Fishers money, threatening him aud
his wife and children with instant death If any
resistance was made Under this threat Fisher
delivered them the money-sl50. After the
robbers left Fisher gave the alarm, and pursuit
was Immediately made.
On Saturday Picktrl aud TOngatc were cap
tured. On Tuesday they we're taken to Orleans
for a preliminary examination, when they were
both Identified by Fisher aud in default of bail
were remanded to iail They left Orleans about
10 o'clock last nigh, ia charge of posse of
twenty-five men. When abpIt four miles from
Orleans, and about crossing the last river
bridge, about one hundred disguised and we'll
armed and well-orgauZed men rode out OF some
woods and took the prisoners from the escort,
and with scarcely moments delay the ropes
were placed around the necks of the two unfor-
tunates, their feet Knocked from under them,
and the two bodies were left swinging to the
railing of the bridge.
The scene is described as a fearful and heart
sickenipg one. The guards were ordered to
stand aside, and the trembling robbers begged
for mercy time To prepare for the stern reali-
ties awaiting them but the vtgiants knew no
such W, rd as mercy. The bodies hung as left
until tRs morning when the Coroner ordered
them cut down.
Pickard's remains we're tax en- to his home in
Greene county by his brother, who was
witness OF this fearful tragedy. Poor Tongates
remains have not been called for, and he will
probably be buried by the county. Two more
of the robbers were arrested in Greene county
to-day. and are to ne taken to Orleans for
preliminary examination, aud il is feared that
they will share the fate IF their comrades.
The excitement throughout Orange county
and the southern part of the State is intense.
Some reports say these men are remnant of
the old Reno gang, while others say they are
part of we'll organized and formidable gang
making their base in Greene county.

A CHINESE NO VEL.

Here is the plot Of a Chinese novel called
The Twins" 1t is given in a recent review of
Chinese literature, by Jessie E. Ringwalt:-
A husband and wife, after years of constant
bickerlng, finally differ seriously about the mar.
rage of their twin daughters. These lovely girls
are as sweet and charming as the twin blossoms
of the brilliant rose, or the flowers of the odOrous
herb bending before the breeze.
The husband is absolutely determined to dis.
pose of them according to his own choice, and
the WIFE with equal obstinacy, claims the same
right. The parents each select their tayorlte
suitors and the marriage presents, which are an
indispensable preliminary, are brought to the
house at the same moment.
The irate father drives away with contumey
the porters who bear the presents sent by the
suitors chosen by the mother, and his wife iings
aside with contempt those presented by her hus-
bands faYorite.
The debate wakes warmer, and threatens to
become interminable, and the case is at length
carried before the official who has legal juris-
dicton over contests between parents. The
magistrate is q prudent and worthy man, who,
after listening carefully to the question at ISSUE
demands that the daughter shall be summoned.
The young girls are brought and kneel before
the tribunal. The magistrate permits them to
remain silent, but orders them to exhibit their
preference by bowing either to the right, where
the suitors chosen by the mother are arranged,
or 10 the left, where stand those selected by the
father.
The four suitors are equally repulsive TO the
girls, and the twins perseveringly bow their
heads and rest their eyes steadily upon the
floor. The magistrate, appreclating the feelings
of the daughters, instantly dismisses all the
suitors and endeavors to negotiate a peace
between the belligerents but, as he fails utterly
in his pacific intentions, he proposes plan
of adiustment-the Chinese specific for the
cure OF all evils-a competitive examination.
The two men who shall prepare the best essays
upon a given subject shall become the husbands
OF the twins; No possible objection can be
offered TO such an admirable scheme, and the
examination takes place. But, unfortunately
only one essay is found worthy OF acceptance
married, because the Higher Powers have con-
demned hin to celibacy. He explains that he
has been six times betrothed and six times have
his lady loves died suddenly as the victim OF a
terrible fate. Learned astrologers, consulted
upon the subject, have declared that he will
always be the subject of misfortune to a wife.
perhaps So" answers the wise magistrate, 'you
will be the cause of misfortune to wife, but
not to-twom
An argument so irresistible overwhelms all
present, the difficulties are vanquished, aud
he fortunate essayist happily marries both the
wins.

news of the firing on Fort Sumter, in April,
1861, reached Massachusetts,, Wendell Phil

Russia ass Misunderstanding Nation.

The great Empire of Russia is advancing with
rapid strides to the front rank of the producing
and manufacturing nations of the earth. The
idea has been very generally prevalent that the
Russians were at best but a semi civilized people,
and many were astoDished to hear that they
proposed an ." Exposition" this summer, of
Russian manufactures. \ correspondent of the
New York Tribune, writing from St. Petersburg,
under date of July LIST, describes the Exhibition
as remarkably fine and we'll displayed, with ex-
cellent specimens of c%ottons, cloths, linens, silks,
cutlery, sugar, chemicals, metal work, and even
machinery.
The actual commencement of Russia's growth
as a great Empire, dates from the year 17O3,
when Peter the Great founded st. Petersburg,
and by his indomitable energy laid the foundation
for making it one of the first cities Of Europe.
The Empire which he consolidated, has grown by
annexation from Sweden, Poland, Turkey, Persia,
&C., until to-day it is the largest State in the
world, extending in Europe and Asia, and, until
the recent sale of Alaska, in North America. 1t
lies between d : so and 70 . 90 north latitude,
and stretches from 1S . cast longitude to 1900
west, and is estimated to contain 1-30th Of the
whole surface of the globe, and is more than
uOuDle the eAtcue u dh EuiOPO- IL POPuld-
ton in 1851, was estimated at 81 ,734 900, and
in the nineteen years that have since elapsed, it
must have greatly increased. The exports for
1868, amounted to 226, 500 900 of roubles in
value, Ia rouble is worth seventy cents) and the
imports to 221 900 900. There are now in
European Russia, exclusive of Poland and Fin
land, 2,139 factories of cotton, linen, hemp,
wooden and silk goods, employing more than
264 900 workmen, with a yearly production of
l72, SOC, 900 roubles. And there are also more
than 5000 other factories, not including smelling
furnaces, distilleries, breweries, and sugar re-
fneries, producing yearly to the amount of more
than 246, O0O, 900 roubles.
This remarkable progress is considered to be

The dangerous character of nitro lycerine was
well illustrated a few years ago on the passage OF
a ship from Liverpool to Boston. After being a
short time at sea the captain discovered a box
near the main hatch which excited his suspicion
that its contents was the dreaded nitro-glycerine,
and without hesitation he immedia tely ordered Its
careful removal aft and threw it overheard from
the stern of the ship. Upon its striking the water
a terrific explosion followed, and a column OF
water sixty feet high was thrown into the air. but
fortunately the vessel escaped injury. Had the
box been cast over from the side instead of the
stern. the broadside of the ship would probably
have been smashed in but as the vessel was
under good Roadway. she was enabled to leave a
clear space of water between her and the box be-
fore the explosion took place.

The emancipation bill which has passed the
Spanish Cortes is better than the very gradual
scheme of Senior Moret, but is only an unsats-
factory measure after all. Slaves obtain their
liberty at sixty instead of ~sixty-6ye years OF age,
which is but a tri1ing concession to justice, Tor
liberty at that time of life is rather a sentimental
than a practical benefit. /. is still provided that
children born of slave parents since the overthrow
of the Bourbon dynasty shall be held in an ap-
premiership differing little from slavery till they
are twenty-five years of age. but there are some
important qualifications of their bondage, designed
to secure their immunity from illtreatment and
their immediate emancipation if they marry. The
new law is in fact a compromise between slavery
and freedom, and, like all compromises between
absolute right and absolute wrong, is likely to
satisfy nobody. 1t will carry slavery over into
the next century, if it stands-but we shall be sur
prised if it does stand even Eve years.
