The Cur ofRussIa e Drunkard

II is asserted that the Gear Alexander,
of Russia, has lately had the deliri1tn1 IRE
mems. 1t is known that he has been an in
temperate drinker, to an extent that would
classify him among the drupkards. This
vice Of intemperauce is a!armirgly preva-
ieut in Russia, as it is in all the cold and
northern climates. The prince and the
pc SAINT there are alike subject to it, The
Russian national drink is brandy of the
strongest kind. Their punches of that
liquor are calculated for tremendous
mental arrangement. From the earli-
est times drunkenness has been dis
played III the Royal family Of Russia. 49,
Peter the Great committed some
of the most brutal acts while stupe-
fed by strong drink. The great Empress
Catharine SO far forgot the proprieties of
her sex as to be inordinatelY given to it
Her son, Paul. who was assassinated, was
rendered little better than maniac ON its
account. To it he owed those eccentrici
ties of conduct which caused his death at
the hands of the nobility. From the time
of his accession the present Gar, Alexan-
der III. has been accused of it. AS we have
said, this terrible vice attacks both high
and low in social station, but perhaps,
from their greatest leisure, more abundant
means and greater temptations, the rich
and aristocrGtic are the most likely to fall
victims to it.

We have conversed with farmers from all

Particulars or the release OF Yerger.

JACKSON, MISS, April ~.
Justice Shackelford, Of the Supreme Court
of Mississippi, to-day, on writ OF ha6eus
corpus, and released on a recognizance OF
$4,000. The evidence taken before the
military commission for the prosecution
was read and submitted without argument.
The judge referred to the fact that the
finding of the commission was not APP
proved by the President of the United
States, inasmuch as no execution of the
sentence of that commission had been car
ried out.
The evidence was conflicting on some
points, and does not warrant the CRIME of
murder. It is evident the crime was com
mitted in the heat of passion, and there
fore the case is bailable. Judge Shackle-
ford is an app0iHtee of General Ames

ThOse in favor and those opposed to the
re~enactment of the Income Tax law, may
be classed as follows
In FAvOR-George S. Boutwell, and his
Assistants of the Treasury Department.
Assessors, or the licensed Paul Prys of the
Internal Revenue.
Collectors of Internal Revenue.
Clerks of do do
Politicians who believe in an indefinite
amount of political patronage.
Spies and informers.
THOSE OPPOSED - Farmers, mechanics,
merchants, mariners and laborers.
Professional and scientific men.
The People generally.
In this connection we may add that the
tax itself, is not what is so seriously object
ed to, as the inquisitorial examination to
which every person is liable, whom the as
SCISSOR may feel disposed to call upon for a
return No matter whether the person
may have an income exceeding the $1,000,
or not, it does not exempt him from the an
noyance Of having to make an expose of
the sources from which it is derived This.
and not the sum to be paid, is what creates
the dissatisfaction with the law.

X Warming to Girls.-Girls of fourteen to
eighteen years Of age, the critical time at
which they all think they are women, and
want long dresses and chignons, should
be warned against destroying their own
beautiful hair for all the future by wearing
the masses of false hair now in vogue. If
it has been kept short, as it should be un-
til they are twelve years old, it will be of
just the right length to braid and wear
flowing; if it is too long for that let them
braid it loosely, and tie it up at the top
with ribbons SO as form braided loops,
but let them on no account mount heavy
chignon.
