The Disturbances In Poland.

writing on the 18th ult., the Warsaw
correspondent of the Eastern Budget
says: "The riots which have taken
place in twenty-six districts of the
United Greek exarchy of Chelm are not
without some political significance, and
have caused considerable excitement
among the Poles here. The papers
are not allowed to print anything on the
subject, and the consequence is that all
sorts OF exaggerated rumors are circu-
lated about the conflicts between the
troops and the peasants in the above
districts. An authentic report has just
appeared IN the Government paper, but.
as usual with such official reports .peo-
pie do not believe that it tells the whole
truth. 1t states that in October last
the United Greek Bishop of Chelm
issued circular to the clergy directing
them to carry out the reforms which
were begun in 1864, but had since then
fallen into allegiance. The organs and
bells used in the Roman Catholic
Church were by this ordered to be Civ
en- up, and the Russian language to be
employed at divine service instead of
the Polish. All these chagnes were to
be completed by the beginning of the
present year. The peasants, however.
preferred to retain the ancient practice,
and when the priests attempted to read
the service in Russian they were turned
out of the churches and the doors lock-
ed. In three villages the attitude of
the peasants was so menacing that
troops had to be called in to restore
order. The most serious of the dis
turbances occurred at Pratulino, where
a staff officer, several regimental
officers, and number of soldiers were
wounded by the peasantry, while of
the latter nine were killed and fourteen
wounded: Great indignation is excited
by the Poles at the conduct of the
Government in this matter, and even
the Moscow Gazette strongly censures
the authorities for having interfered so
indlscreetly with the religious pre-
JUDGES of the peasantry.

Steam to Dublin Direct.

Dublin is a port that is not often
heard of nowadays beyond its own
narrow circle. In fact, there are few
cities of 100000 habitants-outside
of China and Japan-which make SO
insignificant figure in foreign com
merce; but new departure is at hand,
Messrs. Williams & Guion announcing
that they are about to establish a
steamship line between that port and
New York. The first vessel will be the
Zealot, and the intention is to place
her on the route in the course of the
present month. Ocean steamers can
not reach the wharves direct, the Liffey
being navigable only for crafts of light
draught; but Kingstown, some six
miles nearer the sea, with its railway
connections with Dublin, affords ample
facilities for trade and travel, which
the new line will do well to cultivate.

The Old Tom Cat.

Don't you remember the old Tom Cat, John Smith
The old Tom Cat whose notes high;
And he used to serenade each night John Smith.
When the stars were bright in the sky.

Where the elms stand silent and lone,
Some naughty boys threw in the river one day
The old Tom Cat attached to a stone.
Don't you remember old Towser John Smith

But they caught him stealing sheep night, John
Smith,
And old Towser's tale told.
Don't you remember the old pond, John Smith
And the bridge built across of logs,
And how many times we have stood on the bridge
And peted with stones the poor frogs?

But find no change in my pocket John SIN it'll
Could borrow a dollar of you?

The First American Colleges.

There were nine colleges in America
before the Revolutionary War broke
ont The first was Harvard College
The second, that of William and Mary,
founded in 1892, and Virginia and Yale
Colleges are of the seventeenth century,
Princeton College was established in
1746. Eight years after the New Jersey
College was founded, and then New
York City took its turn by founding the
Kings College. A huge iron crown was
placed uponit as the emblem of royalty,
but this badge was subsequently re-
moved, and took the name of Colum bia
College. In IT'S Philadelphia procured
a charter for the University of Penn
sylvania. Then Rhode Island College
was established, but it afterwards took
the name of Nicholas Brown, and is
known os Brown College In Connect
icut there lived devoted pastor,
named Willard, III the town of Hanover,
and the man took it into his head to do
something for the red man. He found
ed a school III New Hampshire, and out
of that school there grew, in 1865, the
Institution known as Dartmouth Col
lege. There was one more founded in
New Jersey, in ITO, and called the
Queens College, so named by King
George, in honor of his wife; but, fifty
years after the Revolution, this institu-
ton, like the Kings College, changed
its name, and took the citizens name
of Rutgers College

that the great changing day, April /,

than single person being obliged to
be accommodated there in the work
house on account of being without shell

mention of real want of dwellings,. Tn

rents have also somewhat fallen AT
the present time there are reckoned
10, 900 houses, with 1S4, 900 dwellings,
and rentvalue of A, 600, 900 of thalers'
Since last year there has been an increase
OF 53S houses, 5000 dwellings,, and of

A Russian-Chinese Railroad,

A special commission of the Cooper
ative Society of Russian Manufacture
and Trade has reported in favor of the
construction of a railroad line between
Russia and China, through Siberia.
The road, with it's connections, would
traverse for the most part thickly pop
ulatea country, and open up immense
cattle and wool growing districts which
are now issolated from the business
world. 1t would have to be built in
sections, commencing with a fortified
town IN Western Russia and ultimately
reaching PekIn. The Commission re-
port that, As an impeachment to a rail-
road from Europe into Asia the Ural
Mountains amount to nothing" but
singularly enough they seem to have
utterly overlooked the difficulty of find
ing conductors or ticket agents who can
properly pronounce the names of such
proposed stations as Krasnoyarsk, r.
koutsk, Werekneondinsk, Tsooroohatto,
etc.
