AN ILLSPENP LIFE.

The Belgian papers record the trial of an
Englishman at Brussels for swindling. The
priioner, venerable-looking old man with
white hair, arrived some time since at the
Hoel de pEurope, accompanied by young
woman, who he said was his wife. He gave
the name of Richard Conway Seymour, and,
after staying at the hotel for some time,
attempted to leave the city without paying
anF of the bills he had incurred. The EtOiIe
B2ge states that the prisoner, under the name
of Horace Belmore, was condemned to hard
labor for life by the Assize Court of the Seine
in 1928; under the name OF Amyas Deane he
wa sentenced at Brussels to ten years hard
lalbr; and in the name of Williams he had
ben sentenced by the Assize Court
Of he Pas de Calais to five years hard labor
ItRppears that he was pardoned in 1S48, and
.nl851 or 1852 he was arrested at Calais when
about to embark for England, and under the
Iane of Cavendish he was condemned to fif-
teei years hard labor. While in prison he
declared that he was the righful Duke of De-
voIshire, and having succeeded in corrupting
0ne of the prison officers made his escape,
diguised as woman. He was, however, re-
caItured at Hayre and sent to the bagl1e,
whre he fulfilled his sentence. In 1867 he
wa charged at Lambeth Police Court with
baing committed bigamy, and underwent q
tenn of imprisonment At other times he
Ia been convicted at Calais, Boulogne, Havre
an Napes, under the various names of Sey-
mqr Ponsonby, Duke of Devopshire, Ben
tink, and other aristecratic appellations.
Himarciages were frequent, and it is certain

RUSSIAN PEAsANTs.- Throughout the whole
Of Great Russia the dwellings, of the pea
ssntry are still mere log-huts, frequently
without chimneys, and uniformly containing
only one room, which is the common dormi-
tory. The rigor of the climate renders these
habitations miserable in the extreme. Swarm
ing with vermin, where not filled with smoke,
and without ventilation, the hut is generally
in winter the refuge of the SOW and her far
rows, of the lamb and the weakly sheep, as
well as of men, women, and children. 1t
contains no furniture beyond a deal table and
bench against each wall Pillows, and
sometimes felt, constitute the only bedding,
the place of which is supplied by the sheep
skin, that seldom leaves the peasant men and
women of Russia. Their domestic utensils
consist Of few pots of burned clay, or cast
iron, the ''samovar," or tea-urn, being only
found in the hut of well-to-do peasant. An
earthenware cup and saucer, or glass tumbler,
are among the articles which the peasant
deposits in a small cupboard below the images
of saints. There is no garden to this log
hut. The heavily-worked peasant woman
can scarcely find time to attend to the plot of
fax which belongs to her individually, and on
which the family depends for the more neces-
sary articles of clothing. Any great material
improvement of these peasant dwellings can
only follow on education and enlightenment,
for it is the tendency of the half-civilized
peasant to expend his superfuous money on
articles of personal adornment rather than on
those of mere comfort, of which he has in
reality no understanding. In villages on the
Volga, where peasant families share the same
roof with domestic fowls and animals, and
burn wood laths instead of tallow candles or
oil, the women attire themselves on holidays
in crinolines, and silk damask dresses and
jackets, while the men cover their unsightly
sheepskins with good broadcloth.

BELGIAN MINERS. Rs.-The Food Journal gives
some interesting statistics in reference to the
food of the Belgian miners According to
the reports which it takes as authentic, the
Belgian miners eat two pounds of bread per
day, about two ounces of butter, one ounce
of coffee and chickory mixed while for din
ner they have in the evening portion of
vegetables mixed with potatoes, weighing at
the most enc and half pounds. They have
meat on Sundays and festivals, but during the
week they drink neither beer nor other fer
mented liquors. Coffee is their only beve-
rage. Yet these men are hardy and healthy.
1t is not the coffee which sustains them for
it constitutes but one-thirty fifth of the nu-
tritious properties of their aliment, though
M. de Gasparin, in paper read some
years ago before the French Academy of
Sciences attempted to prove, from certain
tables, that the waste in liquid excretion is
less where coffee is drunk than at other times.
The miners coffee is not like the French cafe
az ldit, for it has but one-tenth part of milk
in it.; he drinks several pints in the day, and
eats only bread and butter until the vegetable
meal of the evening. The albuminous sub
stance which enters into the rations of the
Belgian miner is thus reduced from twenty
three grammes to fifteen grammes of azote.
This is less nutritious even than the diet of
the monks of La Trappe at Aiguebelle. Here
is, therefore, proof that life and health can
exist throughout whole population with less
nutritive substance than is generally consi.
dered necessary.

disturbed for some time. AS Mary was on the point
of taking an affecClonate farewell OF Joseph he
placed his hand where his wallet should
be- but it had mysterl0usy disappeared. by
this time Mary had gained the sidewalk. when her
companion started on double quick after her, ex-
callnin1 mot for Joseph,n but was met by rwo
more persons az he was aoout leaving the gateway

remain under the stoop until Mary had got out OF
sight, when they let him out. He saw no more

her on Broadway no followed her and handed
her 70 the custody OF officer Bell, Of the
Eighth precinct. She was yesterday morning
