1t is reported from St Petcrsbugh that
the Mennonite colonies, numbering 3d.
coo souls, and situated in the South of
Russia, near Berdiansk, propose remov-
ng in body, either to the United States
r to Canada, in order to escape from the
bligations of military service, which is
repdg4nt to their religious belief Their
teaching issFeFy simple, and ia many re-
speets1 resembles that of the Quakers
The sect was founded IN the Low COun~
tries, about the middle Of the sixteenth
century, by Menno Simons. sehismatic
Catholic priest, who organized his follow
ers INTO 'eCommunes of Cod and poor
and defenceless brotherhoods." After
the death of Memo they emigrated to
East Prussix In 1870 and 1872 they
were threatened with expatriation on &C
count Of their refusal to serve in the
army. They suffered annoyance and
persecution from time to tune, and in
1876 they accepted an invitation from
Catherine IL and emigrated to Russia
and settled on the lower Dnieper. By
their industry they have made the once
barren steppes to blossom ike the wheat
fields of California They use. machinery
in tn If agriculture, and are largezraisers
Of stock. They also haye in activity cloth
mills, water and gri$6 mills, dyeing and
printing works. Notwithstanding that
one of the conditions on which they emf
grated to Russia was perpetual exemp-
ton from military service, they are now,
however, to be compelled to furnish con-
scripts They therefore propose to seek
homes beyond the sea. e their skill in
manufacturing is not over-estimated, they
would be very desirable immigrants for
any country. Hope the Mennonites will
