The Press Law i'm Russia.

BY late cable dispatches, it appears
that changes have recently been made
in the press laws which render them
much more severe, and are almost liter
ally prohibitory of the larger portion of
Russian literature. Under the law OF
1865, every sort Of original composition,
reviews excepted, of less than ten pages,
and every translation of less than
twenty pages, could be prohibited by q
simple police order. This was under the
supposltion that the size and price of
larger works would restrict their circu.
culation to the cultivated classes. The
rule failed TO work, however, and for this
reason, it is probable, the change has
been mede. The new law gives the
Minister of the Interior the power to
Withdraw from circulation any work or
number of magazine which he consid-
ers hurtful. All copies of such inter
dicted publications are to be immediate
ly contiscated, and the publishers, print.
ers and compositors who seek TO evade
the order are liable to punishment.
Every work has now to be presented to
the Council Of Ministers seven days be-
fore being offered for sale, and every
number OF magazine must be present.
ed to the same body four days before
distribution to its subscribers. The
French people, who are forever grum
bling about the censorship of the press
which is more severs, if anything, under
the republic than the empire, ought to
live in Russia for awhile to appreciate
the liberties they enjoy.

A ROYAL LOafer.

"A New York World correspondent at
Bordentown, n. j., writes: When
Prince Luc!en Murrat came to Bor.
dentown he was one of the finest look.
ing men ever seen. Tall, and of ma.
jestic mien, he was skllful swordsman,
and the most elegant and graceful
dancer. He brought with him large
fortune, which was quickly squandered,
and then he ran heavily in debt. When
these became fairly mountainous Joseph
Bonaparte liquidated them all. In a
short time Murat was as deeply involved
as before, and Bonaparte being again APP
preached by his creditors, shook his
head. i" 1t is useless, gentlemen" said
he; "the Prince has no legitimate
claim upon me, and it was through
friendship and the hope that he would
be more economical that | placed him
upon his feet at this rate he will speed
lily make beggars of both of u.s." And
henceforth the noble gentleman had TO
go it alone" Shortly after he mar.
ried Miss Frazier, of Charleston, n. c.,
a noble and accomplished woman, who
opened young ladies school at Borden
town, by which means she supported
her family and W orthless hus band. The
Prince led gross and disreputable life,
was addicted to gambling. hunting, fish.
ing, drinking, loafing, and borrowed
money of all who would loan it. He
had not the least taste for refined and
intellectual pursuits. One day, when at
dinner with Bonaparte, the latter by an
understanding with number of ladies
who were present caused him to give
an exhibition of tastes. A discussion
upon the exact reading of certain
passage Of a classical writer was intro.
duced, and, TO settle the dispute, the
volume was brought from the library.
| Bonaparte, who was an excellent reader,
opened the book, and began reading to
the company. Murat, unable to conceal
| his disgust, rose and left the room
| Straying away until he thought the in
sutferable controversy was over, he came
back again only TO find the ex.King
still reading and the ladies listening
with the greatest interest. Wheeling..ab
ruptly about, he once more took his de-
parture, and stayed away altogether
Just here l may add parenthetically
that the residence of Bonaparte in this
State gave rise to the old quirp Of call
ing New Jersey Spain, and a foreign
country. Murat came to be very obsese
and was nothing more than bar.roon
loafer. " My father was born a peasan
and died prince" he was accustomed
to say, land | was born prince, anc
will die peasant" But when tn,
coup d 'etat OF 1852 was made, the Prime,
saw that the golden opportunity hac
come, and he packed up and took hi
passage for Europe. The gentleman
whose state-room was next to his de
clares that the Prince snored so terrific
ally that he had not a single night un
disturbed rest during his passage. Th'
Emperor Napoleon took care OF his cou
sin, securing to him an immense revenue
paying his debts several times, and Civ
ing him the means of living as becam
member of the royal family. But hi
tremendous extravaganza always KEEP
him poor.

High Prices for Scottish Cattle.

A sale has lately taken place in Scot.
land of the greater portion of the cele.
brated herd of short horned cattle be.
longing to the Earl of Dunmore, and the
prices given were such as could hardly
have failed to satisfy the most exactinp
seller. 4" Bright Eyes" sold to Mr..
Brassey, son of the great contractor, for
81, 500; another to the same gentleman
for 81 $780, -" Siddington" to Lord Bee.
tive for $4,000; another TO the same,
$1,000; Marchioness of Oxford. y
5000 Z" Oxford Duchess" $500 an.
other for 81 800. The forty.eight heif.
ers sold fetched 100000. The lowest
sum brought for heifer was 1925, and
the highest 1906. At this rate Gait e.
farming ought to pay, one would think
the enormous high average is more re-
markable than the prices given foi
single animals.

Great POmp.

In certain school the geography
class was called up to pass examination
before the committee man, and ques-

the grave there of Napoleon Bonaparte.
4" Where ha. he since been entombed 2"
was the next question. "In Paris, with
great pomp," answered the pupil, very
readily, and in the exact words of the
book. Right and what do you under
stand by great pompP" asked the
committee man. "A big niger ~ re.

ing a surprised expression creeping over
the faces of the listeners, he added 81

Homemade Lightning Rods.

well we must tell you of an impress.
sive lesson taught short time since by
one Jack W., who resided near Crab
Orchard. A lightning-rod vender was
erecting rods in that town and vicinity,
and applied to our friend aforesaid to
place one upon his residence, but failed
10 secure the job, for the reason that our
friend was not a believer that lightning
rods afforded any protection. Upon his
return home, however, he began to
think over the matter, and being some
what in has cups, he concluded for the
fun of the thing to 60 out into the Dix
river bottom and cut some very tall
horse.weeds, which were at least eighteen
feet high. He placed one or two upon
his residence and an equal number upon
his stable. He had not more than COM
pleted the job when there were evi.
dences Of an approaching storm in the
west the ink black clouds commenced
banking one upon another until the
whole heavens were overcast by one Of
the most angry looking cloud, possible;
the forked lightning leaped from cloudy
peak to cloudy peak, accompanied by
the most terrific discharges OF heavens
artillery, which appeared to descend
into the very bowels of the earth. The
storm continued to rage with great vio'
lence for considerable length of time.
After it had spent its force and ceased
to rage there was a dead calm. Our
friend went to survey the extent of
damages, when he discovered that the
electric fluid had been attracted by the
the horse weed lightning rod placed upon
his stable, ETC., and had descended it
and torn his stable to pieces and killed
two of his most valuable horses.-Dan-
viHs (Ry.) Advocate.

Taking it to the President he wrote "An.

her she would get the money at the bank.

or attorney desires to spend three weeks or
a mpnth in tri on The Continent He
goes to Mr.. Cook, lie mentions his limit as
to time and money, and selects from long
lists of tours to Madrid or to Malta, to GO
peuhagen or to Constatinople, the ore
which takes his fancy He pays stil ula-
ted amount; has his baggage sent for on
the stipulated day, and then from the mo-
ment he gets into the railway car. or the
steamboat until he returns home he has
not an atom of care or responsibility, or
expense. His hotel bills are paid for him,
his luggage looked after by some good
natured invisible sprite; all the trials aud
mishaps that vex and worry the ordinary
traveller are carefully smoothed from his
path. He dimes at the best hotels; he sees
all the places of interests; e travels, in a
word, like Prince of fairy tale, with Mr.
Cook as his tutelary genius. Is it any
