RUSSIAN NIHILIsM.


End of the Trial of the First Group
OF Accused Persons-Severe PenaA-
ties.
St. Petersburg. august 4th) Correspondence
London Standard.
The political trial has ended in the
conviction of seven out of the eleven
prisoners included in the first group.
The accomplices of Nechaieff in the
murder Of Ivanoff are condemned to
hard labor in Siberia-one for fifteen,
one for twelve, and the third for seven
wears. Three of the other prisoners are
Sentenced to close confinement for terms
VARYING from four to sixteen months,
and four are acquitted. The real Grim
inal, Nechaieff, is said to be enjoying his
liberty in Tendon. Ifhe had done moth
ing but commit a cold-blooded murder
there would be a chance of bringing him
to Justice; but as, besides being an assas-
sin he is professor of Wholesale slaugh-
ter, pillage and incendiarism, he has a
right to the tranquil enjoyment of Eng
lisb hospitality, while his less fortunate
dunes have to spend the remainder OF
their lives in exile. The Russians find
it difficult to understand this, and refuse
to admit that there is either generosity
or wisdom in affording protectionto such
miscreants as Nechaieff During the
preliminary inquiry there was great
deal of vague apprehension as to the
extent of the conspiracy, which was
Thought to have remiiications all over
the country; but the result has shown
that these fears were perfectly ground
less, the leading members OF the secret
organization being a set OF lads, most
of whom were learning the mysteries OF
farming. and the funds at their disposal
amounting in all to little more than f40.
If the trial had not been a public one the
uneasiness which was manifested last
wear would doubtless have continued, but
as every one who could force his way
into the court was permitted to remain,
and the counsel were allowed to abuse
the Government as much as they liked,
everybody was satisfied. One OF the
advocates, who showed great deal OF
skill in defending his client boldly said
that so long as there was any restraint
upon liberty secret societies would CON
tinue to be formed; and another defend,
ed nihilism, considering that the men OF
talent who profess this doctrine have
done immense service by their writings,
and that the reforms of the present
reign would not have been half so radl-
cal without their agitation. Nihilsm
seems to be very favorite subject
with this gentleman, who appears to
entertain rather advanced opinions in
politics. He told the Court that the
word nihilism was invented by Tur-
guenieff, who introduced it into his adj
nirable novel of Fathers and Chill,
dren, as term of reproach to the ex,
IRENE Radicals, but they eager y adopted
it, and have ever since gloried in the
name. The trial of the second group
has commenced. 1t consists of thirty
three persons, one of whom is woman
and twenty-seven are students. AS the
individuals included in this category are
even more Insignificant than those in
the first batch, and as the same ground
has to be gone over again, all interest
in the trial is at an end.

Still Onward and Upward.-The extraor-
binary increase that has taken place in the
sale Of Hostetter's stomach Bitters during the
pas. year is another proof that an intelligent
people. although they may try all things. hold
fast only to that which is good. No amount
Of puffery can lift inferior articles to the posi-
ton Of standard specifics. To use the words
of Tom Paine. they may go up like a rocket,
but are sure to come down ignominiously like
its extinguished stick. Hundreds Of such
nostrums have gone up and come down since
the introduction Of Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers. nearly the fifth Of a century ago. Yet it
stin remains the supreme tonic of the age. II

or popularity. and now stands at the head Of
all proprietary remedies manufactured on this
side Of the Atlantic. In every civilized CON-
munity on this continent. OF in South Amer
lea, it Is the accepted remedy for dyspepsia,
bilious complaints. constipation. general de-
bility. nervous weakness. and many other IN
pleasant or dangerous maladief. A medicine
so widely extended is Of course piFRted nd
initiated by dealers without conscience or Ia
teqrity. Therefore. let every man and woman
who designs 10 purchase the genuine Hostel
ter's Stomach Bittsrs, see 70 Il that they have
what they pay for, and not the results Of an
infamous impOsture. Look carefully ~ label,

A PhiIosophic view of oysters.

The Memphis oyster season COM
mences to-day, and why2 Because the
letter "r" can be found in Septemb Der,
but not in August. This is an ancient
tradition which has been handed down
through many generations, and has come
sounding down through ages, like many
other similar fallacies. In the Delaware
the oyster has been the cause of war be-
tween New Jersey and Philadelphia.
The discussion has been carried on with
great fierceness, each party claiming that
they placed the oysters in their little
beds. The oysters have not been con-
suited in this matter. Darwin has proven
conclusively that we are all descended
from the oyster, and yet the representa-
tives of our ancestors have been treated
slightingly. The fried or stewed oyster
may have no rights that any person is
bound to respect, but this must not be
asserted of the raw oyster. This ami
NAL has been described as follows:
The raw oyster is a fiery and proud creature.
with a bright and penetrating eye, and lip
now curled in seorn, now sweet with smiles.
His forehead is high and expansive, and his
| instep has that peculiar arch which the Arabs
declare TO be an infallible sign Of nobility;
/ His hands, too, are white and delicate, and
those who have seen an oyster bound upon
| his war horse and career along the desert
sands Of New jersey, tossing his spear IN the
| air, and shouting his battle cry of defiance,
say there is no nObler sight. He is affection
ate, too, and often on moonlight nights may
| be seen beneath the windows of the New Jer-
sey maidens, leaning against tree and sing
| ing to his plaintiye Lutte the love-sonRs OF ms
native land. The panned oyster is much
| milder in his disposition, and has never been
| heard TO utter an oath. even under the great
/ est proyocation. Yet these are the fellow
beings on whose rights we trample without
scruple.
The Mobile, Barataria Bay aud Balti
more oysters eaten in Memphis are sim
liar in disposition TO their New Jersey
relations. We interviewed a dozen oys
tiers this forenoon. by the kindness of an
oysterman, who prevailed upon them Il
open their mouths. We we're of opinion
that until they we're allowed to vote thei
interests would not be respected. Many
of their statements appeared incredible
but we did not hesitate TO swallow them
