INTERESTING LETTER FROM MINISTER JEW

ELL TO LADY AT ROCHESTER,, N. Y.
The following letter from Hon. Mar
shall Jewell, United States minister to
Russia, will give the reader, we think,
a better idea of that country, than could
be obtained by the reading of many
books upon the subject. As a descrip-
tive letter, it is of the best:
ST. PETERSBURG, March, 5, 1874.
Ny Dear Mrs.: wonder whether
you don't think | am lost sometimes.
| am not, but am quite firmly anchored
up in this so-called cold climate 1t has
not been cold all this winter, though I
understand it is exceptional We have
had about ten days of zero weather, not
more, and those run five or ten below

ten above zero, but most Of the time
twenty or thirty above, cloudy, sour.

is rather odd !: A large, four story brick
edifce stands just beyond the Mansion,
which | found to be Shaw College, for
colered people, of which | shall tell you
another time. | wonder if, s'in the good
old times before the war, any occupant
of that house saw in his dreams college

door, where his property could have the
same opportunities for acquiring an edu-
cation as he had found at the State Uni
versity
The Asylum for the deaf, dumb and
blind, is an odd looking structure, which
might have been brought from Oriental
lands. More trouble was taken to make
the outside of the building odd than to
make it inviting in appearance, should
say. [ know but little of the working
of the Institution, save that the musical
department is presided over by Mrs.
Young, formerly Miss Cook. of Barre,
Vermont, an intelligent, accomplished
lady.
The Insane Asylum is about like all
such places-strongly built, well guard
ed, and enough to give you the horrors

now being taken to beautify the grounds
and thus add to the attractiveness of the
outside.
The penitentiary l have not visited.
Its appearance, as seen from distance,
does not incline me to think [ should

bright, new garb which Spring has bro't
our trees, and the beautiful flowers that

THE SIN.
''WHAT IT IS-wHAT 1T DOES.


The following is an extract from one
of Prof. Chandler's lectures on the Sun:
Thus it is proven that the materials
of the earth and sun are similar the
conclusiveness of evidence is overwhelm-
ing. While thousands of the ablest ply
sicists of the enlightened world yield
concurrent and unanimous support to
the entire trustworthiness of this new
mode of investigation, not one, to my
knowledge-certainly no one worthy of
the slightest credence-has expressed
doubt of its unerring correctness. The
earth being so much smaller than the
sun, is in condition far more advanced.
By radiation, 1t has already parted with
most of the heat which it contained,
when in an incandescent and luminous
state. Were it as large as the sun, it
would doubtless yet be in the same con-
dition the sun now is, emitting light and
heat, and of course entirely unfit for the
existence of animal life. Being another
sun, it would reyolye around common
centre with our present sun, presenting
the same magnificent spectacle to the In
habitants of worlds in immeasurable
space which we ourselves perceive in
many instances. The sun is undoubted-
ly advancing to the same condition In
which the earth now is, but by reason
Of It's enormous size, the change is i'm
perceptible. But when the wheel Of time
shall have rolled on throughout unnum-
bered cycles, and the sun shall have ar
rived at condition similar to that of
the earth at present, whence will be gen.
Grated the light and heat necessary to
complete it as an abode suitable for ami
NAL life ?
/ intended to devote portion of the
evening to the probable theory of the
physical constitution Of the sun, but
time admonishes me to curtail my re-
naming remarks, though appreciate
the evident interest and close attention
given by all, even the younger portion
of the audience. will, however, barely

THE LOST FAUCET.

A resident of Ward l6 in Boston, be-
lieving that drinking liquor was a per-
nicious custom, resolutely set his face
against the saloons, and put barrel of
ale in his cellar. On the first evening
of the purchase he repaired to the cellar
to tap his ale, taking a kerosene lamp
with him. On reaching the barrel he
thoughtfully sat the lamp on the floor in
the direct line with the spot ne was to
tap, and taking the faucet in one hand
he drove in the bung, and meant to have
applied the faucet at once But the pow
er at the vent was so great that the fau-
Get was Knocked from his hand, and the
lamp being in direct range was upset
and put out in flash. A less sanguine
party would have straightway plunged
up stairs for another lamp, but he'd find
that faucet in the dark if it took him
seventy-fve years to do it. He dropped
on his knees, and described various cir
cles with his hand, while the foaming
and sputtering ale whistled uninterrupt-
edly. He moved around swifter and
swifter, losing the calmness born of his
determination, at every unsuccessful re-
turn of the encircling hand. He bump
ed his head against other barrels, and
scratched his knees on the floor, and was
bombarded in the face and neck and un-
der his coat tail by the fierce stream.
But he ao0uld find that faucet He beat
the cement surface with his fist, and
prayed, and howled, and screamed, and
wept. But he wouldn't 60 after light.
The flying ale got into his throat and
choked him, and into his nose and made
him sneeze. 1t ran from his eyes and
his ears, and down his neck and face
from his hair. But he wouldn't give up.
And down there on his knees in the dark
and flying liquid, he stayed like an hon.
est and honorable citizen until he had
found that faucet, and jammed it into
the barrel. Then he felt his way ur
stairs, and appeared to his family with
a want of cOngruity in his appearance
that was painful to behold. The blood
from scratch over the eye had min.
gled with the fecks of foam and trick
ling ale and these in turn were loaded
with dust and cobwebs. His hair anc
clothing were saturated, and one eye
was completely closed while the othel
glared upon the horror stricken family
in unconscious ferocity. But he hat
found that faucet, and he would hav,
found it if he had stayed down there un
til Canada had frozen over 1--WE think h
said Canada. Then he went up stair
and got into bed.-Dan6ary NeicS.

LETTER FROM REV. WIN. A.
ROBINSON.

DEAR MONITOR A long time has
passed since I last gave you any account
of things seen and experienced by me-
The months have been eventful ones in
the smaller circle of my personal obser-
walton, as they have been in the larger
sphere of more public affairs. During
last summer very important change in
the school system in our village was ef-
fected, partly through my instrumental
ity, by which our schools were consoli-
dated, put into connection with the ex-
cellent old academy, which for nearly
sixty years has been an honor to this
town. and thoroughly systematized and
graded from top to bottom. By this
plan the academy which had begun to
share the experience of all such schools
in this day of Normal and Free schools,
gained an assured basis of support, and
took new lease of life and vigor; while
the common schools which had been neg
lected and allowed to become degraded
schools, are lifted into their proper place
and Importance, furnished with spacious
apartments in our fine school building,
and made most valuable adjuncts in the
symmetrical and proper instruction fur
nished to rich and poor alike. Cempell-
ed against my will to take the presiden-
cy of the Board of Education which has
control of this important public interest,
I have had my time and strength too
fully taxed to permit of much correspon-
dence with family friends, to say moth
ing about fulfilling promises to the news
papers.
Our school has enrolled four hundred
pupils, and has employed eight teachers.
The earnings from outside patronage to-
gether with the larger proportion of State
Aid now secured. has made the school a
financial success, and has changed the
feelings of the opponents of the measure,
SO that the risk of ineurring popular dis
pleasure, which some of us, of the friends
of the free-school were compelled to take,
has become of no account. At the same
time the excellent work done by the
school has won the hearty support of all
who have children to educate, or who
are interested in the prosperity of the
place. | doubt not this statement of
facts will interest my old co-workers in
educational matters in Orleans County,
and especially the people of those villag-
es In that vicinity who are agitating a
similar movement
| In September last, it was my good
fortune to carry out long cherished
plan for a western tour. In company
with Mrs. R | attended the meet.

State Fair of Minnesota, and improved
very excellent opportunities there and
elsewhere to learn much more about this

Lines to Mabel.
BY f. CHADWICK.

Fold the little white hands lightly
Ger her peaceful breast
Draw the ribbon not too tightly
Lest You break her rest,
Put the little babe beside her
That but once drew breath,
Naught on earth to-day can chde her
Mabel sleeps i'll death.
Fair young mother, oh, the sadness
OF thy love and pain
He who gave thee hopes of gladness
Brought thee only shame
Friends, remember she was human,
Then speak soft and low,
Cali her not a fallen woman,
For loved her so.
Brown eyes eurtained as in dreaming
Meet my gaze more,
Darklashed eyelids hide the beaming
LOvelight that they wore;
Poor, tried healt, more in sorrow
Shall You be crushed low.
There has dreamed a sweet tomorrow
1t is better so.
Never more a fallen woman
Men shall say with sneers
Never more cold words inhuman
Blind your eyes with tears;
He who won You by deeeiving
Sullied your fair fame,
In Gods Judgment still believing
Dare he brand thy name
He with lords and gentlemen
Who boast of high degree,
Still reVels on in gilded dens
Where gold buys misery,
And clasps the hand of virtuous maiden,
Thy own sex. Mabel, dear,
Who gave the looks of seorn fnll-laden
And never word of cheer
Though my womans lips may falter
Tremblngly and weak,
Still my love shall never alter
And for thee I'll speak,
Though the world for this condemn me,
Still its wrath I'll brave,
Mabel, dear win defend thee,
Kneehng at thy grave.
There were snow drops in her soft white palms
When She was laid below,
nd an infant on her busom.
Like rosebud in the snow"
int I'd rather be in Mabels place
at rest beneath the daisies
han be the welded wife of him
Who ruined her with praises.

as they all nave Engllsh goVernesses.
English and American books are in all
first class libraries, Russia having but
comparatively little literature of its
own. Law and order here are as much
respected as with us. While the En-
peror appoints everything and every
body and can do exactly as he likes,
still he governs by and through law
The knout is long since abolished, and
a trial by jury is regular and safe.
1t is no-heathen country by a long
ways, but the Greek or orthodox church
is strict in its discipline and thorough
in its organization. Divorce is almost
impossible. Prisons are few. Capital
punishment is unknown except for at
tempts on the Emperor,s life All con-
victs are sent to Siberia, the worst to
work in the mines and others on the
land. Their families can go with them
if they like, so that the country is now
full of pretty good people of this kind.
This nation is growing rapidly in all
the directions of national greatness.
Education is being pushed slowly but
steadily. Most of the people I see can
already read and write. But the rich
being so rich and the poor so very poor
makes progress very slow. The police
regulations are perfect. though people
drive through the street as fast as ever
they can go. Those on foot have no
rights which the carriages are bound to
respect.
Handsome black Tartar horses go past
one like wind, with little light harness,
no binders, and low light sleighs, or
sledges as they call them. Nobody
goes out minute here without being
fully wrapped up in fur, and no one
sits a minute in the house with them
on. In the halls are servants to take
off and care for these wrappers. In this
way they never appear to take cold. In
no other way could they live in this
changeable climate. Not one of US have
had a cold this winter. So all the sto-
ries about this being so bad a climate
appear to US to be a humbug. But great
care is necessary, and that everybody
take of themselves. So in this way we
get along, and on the whole, find the
climate not bad.
Do I like it? Well, some. Don't
believe I should want to spend my life
here though. 1t is a great thing to see
for time and 1 find my colleagues
pleasant people and the social life il
doors was enjoyed for time. In al
the elements of strength and greatnes;
America is so far ahead of Europe that
the contrast is painful. So my eyes
constantly turn towards Hartford aftel
all. But read a great deal of politics
and write many letters and hear from
home daily almost. When l next come tC
Rochester l shall have something tc
talk about. You know lack of talk is
my failing. Esther don't fancy it very
much. The girls like it tolerably we'll
but [ can see would tire of it. We dc
not find so much intelligence as we are
used to, or so much to talk about. Il
is mostly grand dukes, opera, dress and
flap doodle generally. We have beau
tiful apartments and entertain a gooC
deal, and so fill up the time. find my
official intercourse delightful, as the
Russians like US very much indeed.
Believe me. yours truly,
MARSHALL JEWELL.
