The Oldest of all rose bushes is
said to be one which is trained
upon one side of the cathedral of
Hildesheim, in Germany. The
root is buried under the crypt, be-
lew the choir. The stem is a foot
thick, and half a dozen branches
nearly cover the eastern side of the
church, bearing countless flowers
in summer. It's age is unknown,
but documents exist which prove
that a Bishop Hezilo, nearly a
thousand years ago protected it
by stone roof, which is still ex.
tant.

In a police court, recently,
a musician was fined $40 for
pelting a woman with toma-

will have the effect to beake up
this disagreeable custom, for
which there is no justification
in a city paved with cobble

HCA@ANA HO A1'1SSANAA
government has recently pub
lished interesting statistics in
reference to the emancipation
of the serfs. The emancipa-
tion ukase was issued on Feb
ruary IS, 1861, and at that
time in Russia and Europe
there were 103,15S land-own-
ers, who employed 9,797, ,163
serfs as agricultural laborers on
their estates, besides 900,971I
household servants held in the
same condition of bondage.
Including women, the total
number of serfs was upwards
of 22,000,000. The 103, ,158
landowners possessed about
60,000,000 acres Of land, Of
which about 2O,000,000 were
occupied by the serfS for their
cottages and gardens. BY the
emancipation ukase the land
thus occupied by the serfS was
| to become their property after
the payment of its value by i'll
stalments. In ten years after
the PRONUNCIATION of the decree
of emancipation. 6,474,613 serfs
have become absolute prOprie-
tors of II, ,SSl, lis acres of land.
Another period Of ten years, it
is calculated, must elapse be-
fore all the serfs are emancipa-
ted. The popular notion that
emancipation has ruined the
mobiles and enriched the serfs,
it is argued, is entirely fallaci-
Gus. The mobiles still possess
the greater portion eff the land,
each one still retaining on an
average 34S acres, while the
peasant owns only two acres.
Iu the less populous parts of
Russia the land lies uncultiva-
ted in consequence of the want
of laborers; but this state of
affairs, it is contended, is to be
attributed to the conduct of
the mobiles, who, before the
emancipation, were in the habit
of sending the most intelligent
serfS to the towns to learn
!, trades, and then claim a large
share of their considerable earn.

Thousands of these fanatical
missionaries, organized with
great skill and concealed by
disguises, are said to be traver-
sing India, circulating tracts of
their faith, and preaching a
universal revolt and massacre
of the European infdels,
Whilst these seem to be ele-
ments of danger sufficient to
explain The solicitude with
which EngliShmen regard their
Indian Empire, it is not to be
doubted that the British gov

measures of repression. The
lapse of India to Mohammedan
barbarism from its present de-
gree of civilization and pros
perity, forin advance Of what
it ever knew before the British
conquest, would be a calamity
TO be deplored by all mankind.

1t is somewhat startling to
find in a late number of the
London Spectator the follow
ing sentences relative to India:
"Our dominion hangs even
now, to-day, by a hair. At any
moment in any year a Mussul-
man Cromwell may take the
field, and the empire be tenn
porarily overwhelmed in uni
versal massacre" When the
English commenced their Ca
reer of conquest in India the
Mohammedans had been its
rulers for centuries. The con-
querors permitted them to re-
tain their laws and religious
customs, and to have their
share of the lower Offices till
the famous meeting of 1857.
when they excluded them from
the military and civil service.

positions. The Mohammedans
are said to have keenly felt the
degradation, and numbering
thirty millions, and comprising
the best military material in
India, are not to be despised.
The remaining inhabitants,
however, made up of various
races, are about four times their
number. ..' ..".
One of the most dangerous
classes Of the Mohammedans

be remembered that it ran as fol-
lows:
"CitiyenS of Portland:-I have
very vivid recollections of a, to
me, gratifying visit l made six
years ago in your city. Now l re-
turn from an equally pleasant one,
both here and in other parts of
your State. My reception has
been most pleasing, and / hope
my visits will not be SO far apart
in the future, otherwise shall not
be able to visit you often before /
am very old man. l thank you
for this greeting" ...F.r
Now, we contend that this was
an eninently wise. patriotic, aud
conservative speech. We can find
no fault with it. 1t was not tedi-

being tired out with listening to
it. 1t was easily reported. Above
all, it was sound and true, which
public speeches sometimes are not.
1t will bear the closestaualysis.
