Leaving Russia.

A letter from Odessa, in the st. Pc
tersburg Gazette, says that the German
colonists in Southern Russia are now
emigrating in such numbers that the
exodus reminds ono of the Tartars from
the Crimea in the years 1859 and 1861.
In january and February whole trains
full of these emigrants were to be seen
proceeding towards the frontier. Entire
villages, such as those of Landau, Neu-
Danzig, &C., in the government Of
Kherson, have lost all their inhabitants.
The colonists have sold their estates
in some cases 400 dessiatins in extent
their cattle and oil their movable prop
erty. Most of them have gone. Tho
reasons alleged for this emigration are
the gradual exhaustion of the soil, the
bad harvests, the withdrawal of the
privileges formerly enjoyed by tho col
onists, and their newly-dccreed liability
to military service.

B0napartist Prospects.

NJ. D. Conway writes an interesting
letter to the Cincinnati Commercial,
concerning the Banapartist prospects
in France. In the course of the letter
he says: "Just before leaving Paris I
stopped to look at the Vendome column.
About twenty-five feet of it had been
built. The same stones appear to have
been used thus far. The scaffolding
was around it, but no workmen were
present, and I am told the work goes
slowly on. At night, when started off
for London, I found myself on = train
crowded with Bonapartists who were
going on pilgrimage to Chiselhurst.
After listening to their talk, their
wretched boasts, and, still more, after
observing the servility of all the rail-
way people to them, there appeared to
me (between walking and sleeping) a
vision Of q shadowy political column,
with MacMahon and DeBroolie work.
ing on itwith trowels, with Rouher SUI
perintending them, and the young
Prince Imperial standing statuesque in
corporal's hat, waiting to crown the
editice. There appears to mo no doubt
whatever that the government now in
france is consciously and deliberately
betraying France back into Napoleonic
dynasty. The whole tone of these men
travelling to Chiselhurst is that of ella
ton at the present situation. They speak
OF the septennat with joy, as just the
time required for princelings tomature,
and for Sedan to be forgotten. But how
is it with the lower classes? Even now
one hears them saying But we
oughtn't to visit the sins of the father
on the son. THE poor prince he
had no part in our misfortunes.' 'Ah,
the young prince was born in France,
he loves France, and he may restore
us-who knowsY I cannot help think
ing when they and the youngster at
Chisclhurst talk of appealingto the pop
tilar suffrage, they know well what they
are about.

land knows too we'll how quickly
posts planted in the earth become rot
ten, especially in damp spot. All Of
them will welcome the following pro-
ceeding to prevent rottenness, a process
rs wonderful in its effects as it is sim
pie and almost costless. It is taken
from LIE Bien Public, of Dion, France:
Take inseed oil, boil It, and mix it
with charcoal dust until the mixture
has the c0nsistence of an ordinary
paint. Give to the post a single coat
of the mixture or paint before planting
them, aud no farmer, even living to the
age Of patriarchs of old, will live long
enough to see the same posts rotten.
"Some years ago I discovered the
way of rendering wood more during in
earth than iron itself" says the author
of the communication, "but it seemed
to me so simple, and so inexpensive,
that did not think it worth while to
make much ado and fuss about it.
Posts of soft wood thus prepared were
removed after remaining seven years in
earth, and were found as sound as
when they were planted. The only
precaution to take is to use only we'll

the charcoal paint"
The above recipe is certainly cheap.
and seems to be well worth the trial.
If what is said of the efficiency of that
simple and cheap (about two cents per
post) process be only half true, GER
tainly it would save yearly millions of
dollars to the farmers and telegraph
companies. For it is said that the
farmer, even in his teens, who will
plant posts having received coat of
this perpetuity post paint" will
never live long enough to see the same
post rotten.
