A FEMALE SAvIoUR.-A female saw
Jour and her apostles are creating pro-
digious sensation in the southern part of
the Russian Empire. The Russian pa
pers say that the leader of these women,
whose name is Anastatia Gabacrewicz,
claims to have performed number OF
miracles, having made the blind see
and the lame walk. A vision first re-
vealed to her that she was the daughter
Of God, selected to suffer for the redemp-
ton Of her sex in tho same way that
Christ suffered for that of the other. I'm
mediately after this revelation she gave
up eating meat and drinking brandy,
and prepared herself for the mission -
The Holy Ghost then possessed her and
gave her the power to work wonders with
a mere word. She pretended to be able
to resurrect even the dead by simply
touching them; and so strong is the faith
of the ignorant masses in this new proph
etess, that the prison to which she has
been confined by the authorities, has be-
come place Of pilgrimage for thousands.
The sick are brought from distant locali-
ties to receive the assistance of the in
spired woman, and the keepers receive
large bribes for permission to see her.
Every day new stories of her extraordi-
nary powers are circulated far and wide.

THE DESERTED VILLAGE.-One of the
saddest spectacles in this country, is the
ruins of Il mining town, or the deserted
remsins of a once prosperous mining prop
erty. Goldsmith IS deserted village affords
a melancholy picture of the effects of hu-
man oppression and of bad government,
but there is still some satisfaction in
knowing that it is always possible for a
deserted English village to be re-peopled
by thriving and contepted population.
No such possibility remains for an aban-
doned California mining town. When
the ruin sets in, it is rapid in its work and
its effects irremediable. The saloon keep
er packs his stock, the Hebrew closes his
clothing depot, the red light of the celes-
tial wash house dies out the "sport"
and courtesan HE away to more lucrative
quarters; red shirts and gray have deserted
the streets; the poverty stricken landlord
takes down his sign and the town is dead.
Only few years ago, within cannon
shot of Quincy, fourished Elizabelhtown,
one of the liveliest villages in Northern
California. The surrounding placers were
rich. Business Of every kind was on the
jump. Hotels, billiard saloons, stores,
Masonic and Odd Fellows Lodges, ex-
press offices and all the accompaniments
of live village sprang up like mush-
rooms. Presently there was dearth of
water. Rich strikes were less frequent.
The miners and sports deserted and BET
sytown" died. So effectual was its de-
struction that the very sight Of the streets
is blotted out and there is scarcely a YES
tige to mark the spot where so many
thousands of busy men toiled and sweat
and struggled for gold. - PumoS Na-

LET those American young ladies
who go abroad and marry husbands
take heed lest the knot be insecurity
tied. They should take warning from
case which lately came before court
in Paris. Mrs. Maria Hicks, a young
American, was married by Protestant
clergyman to M. Dussance, French
man, in her own country. A son was
the offspring of their union, and
NJ. Dussance having returned to
France with his wife, the child was
baptized, members of the fathers fam
lily officiating as god-parents. M. Dus-
sance died, leaving behind him for
tune, and Immediately his blood rela-
tions, like lot OF harpies as they we're,
sought to prove his marriage null and
secure all his property for themselves.
The court has declared the marriage
legitimate, but only because Of the ac-
cident that the family Of the deceased
had not made the demand TO annul it
within year of having heard OF the
alliance.
