How THE EMANCIPATION OF THE Rus
SIAN SERFs WAS DEVISED AND EXECUTED.
Nothing was further from the thoughts or
intentions of the Emperor Nicholas, the faith
er of the present Emperor, or of his advisers,
or of the mobiles of Russia, than the act con-
summated by the present Emperor, the uni
versal emancipation of the seris. when
boy of nine yeaas, Alexander, sitting one
morning at the breakfast table with the EN-
peror and Empress, bis governess standing
near. was observed to be leaning his head up
on his hand, and apparently in deep thought.
His mother asked him, "What are your
thoughts, my son?" As the boy hesitated,
the question was repeated, when, looking up
with an earnest and deeply serious air, he
said: 81 was thinking how, when become
Emperor, can make free all my poor coun-
trymen who are now slaves" His mother was
startled by this answer, whilst the Emperor
Nicholas turned pale. The governess, fearing
that the charge might be made.that her in
fuence over the child had caused this strange
and unaccOuntable remark. was much discon-
certed. The Empress earnestly questioned
the boy as to the origin of this extraordinary
thought. After some hesitarion he answered
that he had learned it in the church from
Gods word, wherein the duty of loving ones
neighbor as ones self, and Of doing unto all
men as we would have them do unto US, was
so often and so earnestly inculcated. He
thought that it was not right that these poor
people should forever remain slaves. The
subject was not again alluded to, but the
young prince pondered all such things in his
heart, and as he grew older grew stronger in
his determination to confer this great boon
upon his subjects.
On his accession to the throne, Alexander
Immediately sent for man OF eminent piety
and honesty, as well as of strong intellect,
and intrusted his thoughts and plans to him.
These two, in the recesses of the palace, with
Gods eye upon them, ana with an earnest de-
sire within them to carry out in the best man
ner possible the great plan of emancipation,
devised and put into operation that vast
scheme, the result of which has been the free
dom OF all the serfs of Russia. The consum-
nation OF this generous scheme cost the En-
peror the loss of twenty millions of dollars of
annual revenue.-From "Ihe Emperor Ater-
ander," in the august number Of Ltppan-

Gently A man named Joseph Thomas, in 1916

named Elizabeth Caruthers. They had one

ing the boy and Thomas going off into the In.
dian country. Mrs. Thomas adopted her maid
en- name of Caruthers and with her boy Finice
went to Oregon prior to the passage of the
Donation Law. They each took up land
claim, part of which is where the city Of Port
land now stands, the balance adjoining town.
The mother died first and Finice inherited her
estate, aud after he died suits were instituted
to escheat the property to the State, as it was
believed that he had no heirs. Efforts were
made BY various parties to discover the heirs
to this estate, which is estimated to be worth
from quarter to . half million dollars. but
until recently no one has been found that could
establish his claims as the heir Of Fnice
Thomas, who had gone by the name of Finice
Caruthers. Two gentlemen, James NJ. Moore
and G. C. Davidson, Of Oregon City. knew of
the marriage of the parties. of the birth OF
Finice, the separation, and other facts con-
nected with the history Of the parties. Moore

THE ROMAN VOTE AND REPuBLICANIsM.

On the Cd of October atvote was taken IL
that part Of Italy called the Estates of tn
Church, upon the proposition submitted to then
Of union with the Kingdom of Italysunder thu
rule OF Victor Emanuel Although the result
of the vote was foregone conclusion, the sur
prising unanimity manifested by the people mp
on the subject was something we were no,
quite prepared for. Out of fifty thousand votes
polled, if we are to believe the dispatches, not
fifty were cast against italian unity.
The temporal power of the Pope has become
thing of the past. The rule of the Supreme
Pontiffs for centuries past, failed to secure a
perpetuation of the papal dynasty, and the doc.
trine of Italian unity appears to have secured
a stronger hold in the minds of the people than
the teachings of the Church, and to have gov
erned their action despite the thunders from
the Vatican. 1t remains yet to be seen wheth-
or or not the Italians have become so thor
oughly imbued with republicansm us to make
the country too hot for Victor Emanuel. The
ands and tens of thousands of Germans under
the Prussian flag in the present war against
France, and the splendid victories which have
crowned the arms of Germany during the cam
paign have not prevented the outcroppngs of
republieanism, which are plainly discernable in
even the most intensely loyal portions of Prus-
sia. The problem as TO whether the republi-
