Socialism I'm Russia.

About the last country in the world
that one would expect to hear OF being
troubled with socialism is Russia. Not
that there is not as much provocation
in its political and social condition to
discontent as Ill any other country,
and perhaps more; but the Russians
are 80 conservative, the government so
powerful and remorseless IN the use
of its power. the police 30 ubiquitous
and watchful, that an insurrestion, on
even reasonable grounds, would seem
little short of madness. At the same
time there must necessarily be an un-
fathomable depth of ignorance in a
population forty millions Of whom
have Just been transformed from serfs
to freemen. Outside of this, however,
there is more political and religious
fanaticism in Russia than one would
look for in 30 frigi,l a cline. The
recent trial of socialists at st. Peters
burg developed some crude notions
on the part of the accused, among
whom were four students. From the
evidence adduced 1t appeared that
these students had been visiting facto-
ries, eating-houses and the dwellings
of the poor to talk the inmates over
to their way of thinking; they had
ventured into the barracks to lure the
soldiers from their allegiance, and they
had in some instances succeeded in
gathering a knot OF listeners, whom
they lectured On the growing evils OF
the times and the necessity OF radical
change. They told their auditors that,
the earth having been allotted to man.
kind at large, the land, as well as all
other species of property, should be
equally divided among the individual
members of the race. Again, as the
adults were quite competent to take
care of themselves, the idea of putting
up with any government was evidently
absurd, and must be regarded as a pre-
judice unworthy of the age. Russia
is not a good soil in which to plant the
seeds of socialism or communism, for
the government has peculiar way OF
peremptorily uprooting any such ideas
that cffectually deters even the widest
enthusiasts from planting them.

Terrible Tragedy sn the Park

Captain Chasteau, of the Park guard,
to-day sends in the following funny
dispatch:
"rhe jingling of glass attracted the
attention of an officer, last evening, in
the West Park, and the cry of murder
issuing from a vehicle caused him to
quicken his pace. A man inside was
Kicking to flinders the elegant and
circular glass forming the front OF the
carriage, and a woman and children
were screaming and crying murder.
The officer sprang into the vehicle,
mastered the incorrigible and ordered
the driver to go on to the Sedgley guard
house. On arriving there the officer,
C'Connor, made his statement, when
one of the ladies in the vehicle said
she could explain it all They had all
been talking about Indians, and after
which the gentleman fell asleep, and
must have got to d.eaming that he was
fighting Indians, and kicked out the
glass. The Indian fighter gave the name

Anonymous BenefactiOns.

One secret was well kept for a long
time, even in London. The secret was :
Who was the anonymous donor of those
a Sns of 81, 600, who from time to time
gladdened the hearts of the managers
OF deserving charities. Tt was general
Iy observed that the initials given were
these of the charity which was benefit
tee, although that was not always the
case. Conjecture was rife as to who
eopld be the giver. Wealthy he must
be; for the sum total of all these dona-
items amounted to q figure considerable
enough to be in itself a fortune: that
hei was benevolent was equally certain
from the fact of his donations; and
that he gave without any desire for re
turn in the way Of personal distinction
was evident from the pains that he took
to9eep himself hidden-pains greater
then those which some spend in making
themselves known. But the secret is
now revealed. The death Of Mr.. Benia.
MIN Atwood, of Chestnut, drew back
tAb vail OF concealment. He had the
satisfaction of seeing that some good
Vss done with the money which he gave.
H1 has given away upward of se375, 600.
Nor has he been ~neglectful of those who
had claims of relations for among
those o. or less closely connected
Ei5h him he has distributed nearly a
million sterling. The money thus
tbaritably employed consisted partly of
Nh. Attwood's private fortune aud part
lyiof that bequeathed to him some years
sgo by the late Matthias WolYerly Att
wood, NJ. P. Mr.. Atwood had reached
the age Of eighty years, was unmarried,
ard lived very quietly, though SO rich.
His luxury was that of doing good
qgietly, and We have no doubt il was
ore he thoroughly enjoyed. Each man
hes his own mode of enjoyment, and
t. are are many who share in MI. Att
seod's benevolent feelings, though few
have such ample means of gratifying
them. The world is better for such
persons; would there we're even more
df:them.

Women ia Old Times.

Old John Aubrey, in the collection
OF Evolutionary memoranda which he
made abont the middle of the 8 ven
teenth century, thus describes female
education in the pre-reformation times:
The young women had their education
In the nunneries, where they learned
needle work, confectionery, surgery,

should be given them to kneel on, after
they had done sufficient nan in

lous fans like that instrument which is
used TO drive feathers, and it had a han

Edwin Coke, lord chief justice, told me
