a LARGE number of the Russian !
Mennonites will leave for America in |
April next. They are selling their
farms at very great sacrifice in order
to escape. The Russian government |
has already ordered draft OF six men
to the thousand for military service; |

and hastened their preparations. Those
who have arrived here have settled |
near Mountain Lake, Minnesota, and |
in Marion and Mcpherson counties,
Kansas.
In Minnesota there are two societies
deliberately organized for the purpose of
bachelorism and old maidism. Nearly |
hundred young ladies have banded |
together and resolved not to marry |
any man who uses tobacco, and "a
many men have concluded not to |
marry any lady who uses false hair,
bustles, corsets and such attractions.
The reputation of the living is of
far more account than the reputation |
OF the dead. How careful, then, ought !
men and women he to preserve spotless
their own honor and to speak i'll only |
of those who deserve censure.

words can. 1t is simply sickening.-

The other day the young ladies of the
Illinois Female College held meeting
and, after condemning the action of
one Of their number who had got

other one should do so--before the end

a MAN was turned out OF the gallery
of Memphis theater, the other night,
