Considerable e1ci.oment has been caused In
Germany recently by tho operations Of an
American, representing limaolf to be an officer
on Con. Grants staff. He visited nearly al tho
potty Dukes and Princes In Germany, armed
with forged credentials, and collected largo
sums, which ho announced woro to help build a
gigantic monument In memory OF tho soldiers
killed during our Civil War. Ono day, however,
hc arrived in tho Duchy Of Anha!t and solicitod
m audience with Duke Leopold, who happened
to have an American Secretary, nlr. Dosolin.
Tie latter suspected the solicitor. and hold him
until he had telograpled to Mr. Bancroft. who
at once pronounced him to be swlndlor. Ho
was then placed ulder arrest. Ne turns out to
be an Iriehman, named Beatty, who has long

that the United States will trouble itaolf about

RUSSIAN pHOnRFsg.

Recent Intelligent Observers of ovents in Ius-
pa report gradual but silont revolution, whfo1,
IL transforming that country from tho most
despotio In Europe to ono OF tho most liberal
and progressive. Tho change commenced with
tho abolition Of aerflo,n by tho present Emperor,
which WAS followed by tho adoption Of trial
by Jury, and complete rofor1n Of tho
ago that tho Russian Govornmont indoraed
tho actions Of its officials, however
cruel, or illegal, or oven monhtroua they might
be, upon the ground chat thoy could do no
wrong. Tho people lad no appeal from in
Justice. The only reply WAS tho knout or
o1patriation, or, il thoy escaped those, thoir
liability to still further suffering was in-
crehaed. A recent trial at Charkow, an impor-
tant city Of $4,000 pooplo, shows tho groat
chAnge which has taken place in this respect.
During tho celebration Of the annivorBary Of tho
resurrection Of tho sarior, which ia made an
OCCASION Of great rejoicing, tho people
Of oharkow, according to their custom,
wore congratulating aud embracing zach othor
In tho markot-placo. During tho fostivity, d
quarrel aroso betwoon two workmen, which BOON
led to general acul1le. Tic police were called
out to quell tho riot, whereupon tho contonding
parties united their forces and drove on the po-
lico. Ono Of tho Commissioners Of Police, OK
aBpcrated by tho conduct OF the crowd, ordered
out tha town 1ro-ongines aud threw cold water

looao upon tho great crowd Of mon. womon

and tho people would have obtained no zepnra-
ton or sympathy. Tho Government how
ever, upon being informed Of tho facts,
took Immediate action and discharged
him from his position, aud diaquali-
fed him from holding any position in tho future.
In addition to this, it prosecuted him in tho
Assi7e Court for cruelty and abuse Of his au-
| thority, but the jury acquitted him upon tho
| ground that lo had boon already sufficiently

reporter on Thursday, Gen. Hurlbut,
formerly minister to Bogota, gave an
interesting sketch Of abe virginius and
somo of her former troubles with the
Spanish authorities. While On hS return
to the. United States about eighteen
months since, Gen. Hurlbut found the
Virginius in,tho port OF Aspinwall, where
she bad been blockadcd for three me gths
by tho Spanish war steamer Pizarro.
The commander of the Spanish man-of-
war stated that his orders were to sink
tho Virginius wherever found, and he
had even threatened TO lombard her in
port, Thus violating the neutrality OF
Columbian waters. Tbs Columbian au-
rhoritics appealed to him, and he made
aa examination of the papers OF
tho Virginius. Finding them cor
rect on :heir face, and deeming it
just thnt if she had been guilty of unau-
thoriz.d acts she should be dealt with
by tho United States authorities, he
took advantage of the presence of the
American man-of-war Kansas to direct
that she DO conveyed to sea. This was

A story 10 told by tho Boston Trans
crypt at the expense Of distinguished
theological professor at Andover, Mass,
whose usually retentive memory is &C.
casionally little treacherous on proper
names. While visiting neIghboring
city some time, as he stood upon the
depot platform, waiting for train, a
gentlemen stepped up, accosted the pro-
lessor, shook hands warmly, and begin
numerous inquiries in regard to members
OF his family and the good friends living
in A.. The professor was puzzled
the lace of his cordial friend was quite
familiar, and he was evidently no strang-
err to himself or family, but to recall his
name was beyond any effort ofmemory.
The professor joined in a lively CONVEX
sation, dislikins to make the awkward
inquiry, and hoping for some chance
word to reveal the name Of his friend,
but il came not, and as the conversation
went on the ignorance became more
and more embarrassing. At last a hap
py thought came 10 the professor; he
would get it without asking. So, with
anindiifcrcnt air, he agked: "Let me
sec, forget how TO spell your name
But, alas for the expedient. With a cu-
rious smile his friend replied, "Wcil;
usually, spell it J-o-n-e s." -

Nearer, Ny God, 70 fhee.

Sarah Flower, the writer of this touch
ing hymn, was worthy of the
name of Sarah. 1t signifies a prin-
cess, and a swccter fragrance has rarely
exuded from any flower in the garden.
The gifted girl married Mr.. W. B. Ad-
ans, civil engineer ofsuperior abilities:
She was of frail constitution, and amid
many bodily srfierings she kept her pen
at work upon various poetical produc-
tions. At what time sho caught the in
SEPARATION to compose that one immortal
hymn, which is now sung around the
globe, we have never learned. Proba-
bly, it was some season Of peculiar trial,
when the bruised spirit emitted the odor
of a chl!dlIke submission to chasten-
ing father. Her hymn first appeared
in a volume of sacred lyrics by Mr.. Fox,
in England, about the year 1S41. The
authoress did not live to catch the fame
it was to bring, for she died in 1853,
aged twenty-fo years. She was buried
near NARROW, in Essex. Presently the
hymn began to work its way into vari-
ons collections Of songs of worship. II
was married to the tune of "Bethany;"
everybody caught the strain. In noon
day gatherings for prayer it soon became
80 familiar that if any body "struck up"
the hymn the whole audience joined in.

A FUNNY Temperance case.

. Q
In Akron, Ohio, l heard Of funny
temperance case. A rumseller whom
will call Hi Church, becaase he was
~high" most Of the tine, had been sued
several times for damage done BY his
rumson citizens Of the town. One man
came out drunk and smashed in o big
glass window. He was te0pOor to pay
tor L, land the owner cams against Church.
A boy about Is got drunk and let ahorse
run away with him, breaking his arm.
His father made Church pay the dam
ages. A mechanic got drunk and was
killed on the railroad track, and bis wife
sued Church for $1,000, and got it. A
farmer got drunk and was burned in his
barn on the hay. His son sued Church
and recovered. Church got sick otpay-
ing out 20 much money for personal and
property damages. II ate up all the
rumseller' s profits. Still, he acknowledg-
ed the law to be statute, and that it
made him responsible for all damage
dome by his rum. by used to argue,
also, that sometimes his rum did people
good, and then he said be ought TO re-
ceIve something back.
One day Lawyer Thompson get to
drinking. Thompson was mean, like
most all lawyers, and when he died OF
delirium tremens there wasn't much
mourning in Akron. There wasn't any
body who cared enough for Thompson
to sue Church for damages dene.. So,
one day Church went before the court
himself.
"What does Mr.. Church want T.
asked the Justice.
81 tell yer what, Judge" commenced
the rumseilers, "when my rum killed
that thar mechanic, johnson, and Farm
or Mason, l cum down like nam. Ipaid
the damage and squared up like Chris
tan now, didn't l, Judse!"
"Yes you paid the damage, Mr.. Church;
but what them"
oval, Judge, my rum did a good
deal towards KILN Lawyer Thompson
now, and it appears ter me when kill a
lawyer kinder oughter get rebait."
