sustain the idea Of American protection. Com

Progress Under a Despotism.

The history of the Russian Empire
for the past century and a half, and
especially within the past thirty years,
proves that even despotism, under
certain peculiar conditions, is not an
tagonistic to national development, not
only i'm material but in a moral and
intellectual sense as well. The rule of
Alexander H., semi-sacerdotal as it is,
is as absolute, as unquestionable, and
as actively strong as ever; but the Rus
sian serfs have received their freedom,
the people have grown more intelligent
and more enterprising, industries and
great economical projects have been
pursued with indomitable energy, and a
great and obtrusive national spirit has
come into being, and is every day adding
new strength to the power and wealth of
the Empire. The Gear is still looked
upon as half deity; not long ago,
when he appeared in public to celebrate
the anniversary of Peter the Great, the
sober, bronzed, long-bearded populace
which welcomed him evinced the same
deep reverence which the humble Catho-
lie feels in the presence of the Holy
Father, or the toiling husbandman of
Thibet when standing before the Grand
Llama. Still, civilization has crept on
apace, and the nation is now striding
boldly forward. Russia presents the
singular spectacle of an alliance between
IA more than C@saric throne with the
element of progress, against that aristo-
cratic caste which in other lands is the
prop and bulwark of monarchies.
Schools have been established, by I'M
perial ukase, throughout Muscovy;
more than one concession has been
granted to the people in political reform,
and even now the Imperial Cabinet is
considering the expediency-not the ne
cessity, let it be noted, for the Gar is
never driven to an unwelcome policy-of
establishing a representative chamber,
elected by the Russian people. Quite
as striking as its progress in intelligence
and the growth of public opinion is the
material development of Russia. In no
European country has military enter
prise been pushed with more vigor, or
public improvements been executed with
greater rapidity. The commerce and
manufactures of the Empire have grown,
since the Crimean war, to greater ex-
tent than in any Continental State,
excepting, perhaps, France.

Draining a Murderer Of Six Men and
Two Women.

Some weeks ago man named Jim
Mcdonnell was murdered at McIwen's s
Ferry, on the Suwanee river, by no.
torious outlaw and despel ado known as
Ed Lawson. Hearing of the murder of
his brother, William started out as an
avenger. Accompanied by man named
Peter Hagans and a ferocious dog, he
made his way to McIwen's Ferry, near
which the outlaw Lawson lived, and
after some little accommodating came
upon the object of his search near the
river. Lawson, divining doubtless the
object of the men, endeavored to escape
to n neighboring hammock. But Me-
Donnell had provided against such a
contingency, and the dog was slipped
from hi, leash and set upon his human
prey. There was n short, hopeless race
"a desperate struggle-and the muir
derer Lawson was mt the mercy of the
murderer Mcdonnell. The fierce dog
had set his fangs III the mans shoulder
and held him firmly to the earth until
the pursuers came up. There was but
a slight display of etiquette when the
Lawson that he had come to avenge the
death of his brother, and allowed his
prisoner fifteen minutes to prepare for
his doom. The wretched culprit de-
voted the few wmoments of his life to con-
fession horrible in the extreme. He not
only admitted that he had murdered the
brother of Mcdonnell for his money,
but confessed that he had also murdered
five other men and two women for the
purpose of obtaining their money, and
added that these murders had only net
ted him $50 all told. When Lawson
was through with his confession, Nc
Donnell placed the muzzle of his gun to
the murderer's head and scattered his
brains broadcast over the ground

The VentrilOQuist on the Dock.

Quite an exciting time, says reporter
of the Cleveland Herald, occurred at
one of our wharves recently.

the surprise and CONSERVATION of the
persons performing that operation
voice was heard inside the cask
Roll it easy; these plaguey nails

stand all this.
Holding up their hands, their eyes ex-
panding to the size of two saucers, the
two laborers exclaimed
"That beats the dickens ~
The mate coming up at this moment,
and unaware of the cause of delay, COM
menced scolding them for their dilatori-
ness, when within the cask the voice
came forth:

"What's that ?" said the mate.
"Why it's me-" said the voice. CT

voice, 80, how these nails prick Look

Cooper" said the mate, "unhead
that cask and take out that man."
AS the adze sundered the hoops, and
the head was coming out, the voice again
broke forth
"Be easy, now ; is there any one about?
don't want to be caught.
Quite crowd had gathered round the
scene of action, when low gutteral
laugh broke forth, which made our hair
stand on end, and the cask was found
filed with bacon.
What does that mean ?" says one.
1t beats my time," said the mate.
We enjoyed the joke too well to tell
what it meant as we walked off arm in

WHEN Paris was invested by the Prus-
slams, the besieged communicated with
the outside world by means of carrier
pigeons. There were placed at the dis
posal of the Government 1868 pigeons.
Only seventy-three of these re-entered
Paris, many of the others being killed
by German bullets. Two of the pigeons
made four return voyages each, and these,
we are told, are now the pets of Nine.
