ouR GUESTS FROM THE BLACK sEA-How THEY

On Tuesday some $50 Mennonites, from the
Russian provinces near the Black Sea, arrived by
the Schiller, of the Eagle line, at New York. As
some 200 of the last invoice from Poland we're yet
IN Castle Garden there WAS quite respectable
gathering of these peaceful men. They were all
Germans, but having lived NIL their lives in lIus-
nia their German had curious Russian flavor,
which did not at all improve the harsh Teutonic
sounds. They were dresaod III their primitive
homespun garments, which were usually of coarse
wool and of tho most primitive fashion.
Their leaders said that 1000 more were ex-
pected by the Teutonia, which is now due. Over
1900 are already in this country, and as there
are some 40, 600 IN Russia, We may expect large
addition to this number. They ali want to avoid
military duty. which conflicts with their relig-
ious belief, and expect to pass their days peace

Farm laborers in those Russian provinces near

The s,a.I i'm the Nursery.

The New York Ne,os IN lkes this plea for baby
culprits which we endorse:
The moral tone Of tire rising generation
would not be seriously injurG if parents, teach
ers and custodlans OF children generally, wonld
come to the conclusion that child of five years
of age is incapable of committing an offence
that deserves severe ilogging. No doubt con-
siderable mischief can emanate from little sin-
ners even at that tender age but it is no more
necessary to punish such transgressions with
heavy blows than it is to break butterfly on a
wheel.
1t is impossible to measure in advance the phys
cal results of corporal punishment when ap-
piled with intention to inalct pain, upon these
undeveloped babies. One can hardly judge, at
times, whether a child of five years OF ago is
sick or well; at one moment it is playing merri-

and showing unmistakable slgus of phyai-

HOW HEzEK1AH SCOTT Is BEHAVING IN LOWER DEL
AwARE-THE CONDITIONS OF HIS PARDON VIOLA
TED.
This noted thief, Hezekiah Scott, instead of
having reformed his life while at the Maryland
Penitentiary, we were informed a few
days ago, is at his old home in Della
ware, terror to his neghborhood aud q
nuisance to society. Our informant states that
he saw him at a public auction at Farming
ton only few days ago, drunk and
disorderly, bidding largely for property
offered at public sale, and somewhat
furious on account of his frequent potations of
common whiskey. So annoying is his conduct.
and such is the dread Of good and peaceable
citizens, that they would cheerfully contribute
IN a liberal manner to be rid of his presence.
The most prominent citizens of that neighbor-
hood are deeply incensed at his conduct and
think the Governor of Maryland has done q
great wrong in turning him lose again upon so
ciety.
His pardon was conditional one, expressly
stipulating that he was to leave this State
aud never again return. He has violated
the terms of his pardon by returning
again to Maryland only two weeks ago,
and committing on the spot the very act
for which he was found guilty and sent to the
States prison. For a violation of this condition
of his pardon he is liable to arrest at any mo-
ment and to be recommtted to the penitentiary.
and if the people of Delaware are anxious to be
rid of his presence, they have only to arrest him
and deliver him into the hands of the Maryland
authorities Denton Unlon
