"Stop, gospodin, stop! In tht
name of the blessed Panagia, reir
up, and hear me! You will be
glad to have hardened, English
lord !"
The crisp shining snow crackled
beneath the hurrying feet of the
speaker, as, painting and breathless
he came bursting through the
brushwood, and emerged from the
pine copse into the road, not a pis-
tol shot from the two pillars of red
granite brought from the Ura, that
decorated the extremity of the
avenue leading to the country house
hard by. With some difficulty the
driver of the sledge-a tall, manly
young fellow, whose fair hair and
rudy checks contrasted forcibly
with the swarthy sallowness and
the black elf-locks of the Russian
maujik who had thus suddenly nc-
costod him-brought the fiery
horses to a check.
"Why, Isaac, my good friend"
he said, smiling, "wbat news have
you for me that brooks no delay in

n man, and does nobody dare to

run to-day nineteen versts through

"There is o rising, then, among
the serfs 7" asked the young En-
glishman, eagerly.
"There is" answered the man
called Isaac, with a nod. "The

to the very district to which his
warning had reference.
In the course of three years
residence in Southern Russia, Ed
gar Marston, who was manager OF
the Land Bank at Vosilkof,-a post
of trust to which he had been APP
pointed through the influence of
relatives of his, wealthy members
of the British Guild of Merchants
at st. Petersburg,-had gained q
thorough insight into the condition
of the province in which he lived,
and knew the bitter hate which the
Ruthenian peasants entertained to-
ward the landowners, most of
whom were Polish mobiles who had
won their estates when Poland was
a wide spreading kingdom. He
knew, too, that Count Galitzin was
personally obnoxious to his late
vassals for q hundred arbitrary
acts and petty enactions, and he
trembled lest he should not reach
the lonely manor house in time to
give warning to its inmates of the
approaching evil.
"And Annette is there !" said
the young man to himself half un-
consciously, as he encouraged the
mettled horses to do their best
Yes, that was the secret of Edgar
Marston's eagerness to give timely
notice of the coming storm to those
beneath the roof Of the Galitziu
Castle. He had fallen deeply in
love with the Counts young and
pretty daughter-the Countess An
niette, as she was called in compli-
ance with that courtly Russian rule
which bestows titles on all the
members of an aristocratic family
and he knew that his love was
reciprocated. lie had, indeed,
been formerly on terms of intima-
cy with Count Galitzin's household,
although, on proposing himself as
a suitor for Anniettc's hand, he had
been met by q decided refusal.
Count Galitzin, whose large but
ill-cultivated estate lay on the bank
of the Borysthenes, but a few miles
from Vosilkof, and who owed mon
ey to the financial corporation of
which Marston was the representa-
tive, had other views for his daugh-
ter than to bestow her upon q
young foreigner who was neither
rich nor titled, and the visits of
Edgar, formerly welcome guest
at Czerngorod, had for some time
wholly ceased. He was, however,
aware that Annette, with her pa
rents, had for several weeks past
been residing at the chateau, and
his first impulse was to hurry tbith-
er to preserve her whom he loved
from the blind vengeance of the
half barbarous serfs now on the
eve Of revolving.
The short winters day was near
ly spent, and when Edgar reached
tho outskirts Of the village of
Czerngorod, the sun had sunk be-
meath the black screen of sullen
pine trees that marked the bound
ry of the forests; while, through
those trees glared an ominous rud-
dy light, and shouts, shots, and
roar as Of an excited crowd, came
confusedly to the ear.

THE STATES TITLE To TIE
PRISON GROUNDS.

For wears a cloud has been hanging
over the States title to the grounds of
the State Prison, near Carson. Away
back in the early days of our Terri
torial existence some of the officers
neglected to perfect the title to the
same in some trivial matter, and pro-
ceeding on this technical omission,
Farmer Treadway of Carson,xnd Judge
Mesick, Of Virginia, brought suit for
the premises and obtained a decision
In the District Court in their favor.
The matter was thus allowed to rest,
the State the meanwhile holding and
occupying the property. Two years
ago Treadway came before the Legis'
lature with his claim, offering, if we
remember correctly, to take $4,000 in
satisfaction of his judgment. The
proposition did not meet with favor
and his bill was not pressed. 1t now
pears that the question of title is again
up for adjudication in the United States
District Court. The Appeal has the
following well-timed remarks OF the
subject:
The question to the title to the State
Prison grounds, now being tried in the
u. s. District Court, will, we hope, be
decided one way or another before the
incoming session of the Legislature is
concluded. 1t is to be regretted that it
is not already decided, for very much
depends upon it. There will doubtless
be some very important legislation
this winter concerning the State Prison
either to enlarge the present building
or complete the work begun on the
Truckee. This question of title ought
not to embarrass the consideration of
this matter. We have never believed
there was any serious, well grounded
claim against the States title; and
while, of course, that is a question for
the Court to decide, so long as there is
a shadow of uncertainty about the
ownership of the land in question
there will exist a pretext for the pro-
posed removal. At all events, the
State should have had q decision long
ago in order that The Legislature
should be clear upon this one point.
We trust that whatever is done in the
United States Court will be done
promptly and as far as possible, de-
cisively. We can not understand,
however, why the suit has been thus
long delayed,

vention should be held in Columbus,
Ohio, on the second Monday in May,
1877, its sessions being continuous.
Fourth-That the Chief Justice of
the Supreme Court should preside,
and that each delegate should receive
twenty dollars per day and mileage of
twenty cents for each mile necessarily
travelled, the United States Treasury
defraying all expenses.
Fifth-That the convention on ad
.journment should report to the Presi.
dent of the United States the revised
constitution, aud that he should imme-
diately submit it to the delegates
chosen In each State by the people
thereof under recommendation of its
Legislature for assent and ratification.
Sixth-The several State Legislatures
are recommended to apply to Congress
without delayto call this convention.
A Snn's editorial says: Randall's
brief address, on assuming the chair
as Speaker yesterday, had a strong and
manly ring. There was an ominous
sound in the concluding words, which
he uttered with much force, declaring
that if unauthorized and unconstitu-
tional acts on the part of the Executive
were not frowned down at once, with
relentless and unsparing condemna-
ton, the country would be lost.

ATEAlINGS.

A small house, says the Elko hide
pendent. containing all the appurte-
nances for the accommodation of a
medium sized family unprovided with
OK panded views OH the subject of infla-
ton, arrived here on wheels from the
eastward yesterday. 1t was artistic
ally adjusted upon The running gear of
a light wagon, and probably had
'coine the plains across" Although
not quite so sumptuous in IT'S appoint
ments, all the advantages of a Pullman
hotel car were secured, accompanied
by the soothing assurance that the
danger of being ~''telescoped" SOM
fine night had been entirely obviatrd.
The last view we had of its gable end
was just before it disappeared behind
the hill beyond the river over which
passes the Lamoille Valley road. 1t

The Board of Aldermen OF Virginia
City have passed an ordinance which
tho Chronicle says makes 1t unlawful
for boys under Ii years of K to be
upon the streets after So'clock at night,
unless accompanied by their parents
or guardians, or unless provided with
a permit from such parent or guardian.
In Ease Of a violation of the ordinance,
the police are to request the boy or
boys to go home, and on their refusing
to do so, to arrest them; and on con-
viction. the punishment for the first
offense is made a fine Of IS, or twelve
hours imprisonment, and for the sec
ond otfense $40 fine and three days i'm.
prisonment.

The New York Times Account of
the Argument Before the
Canvassing Board.


NEW YORK, Dec. s..
A Times Tallahassee special says ut
the morning session ofthe board, Biddle
read an argument, summing up the
case for the Democrats. Their contest
was chiefly confined to the counties of
Alachua, Clay, Jefferson, Duval and
Baker, and then asked the board to
throw III enough Republican pre-
cincts to give the State 10 Tilden by
about ZOO. The testimony by which
it is backed is of the fiimsiest kind.
The usual objection was made to the
jurisdiction OF the board, though the
precise power conceded to them could
not be understood from Biddle's ar
gurncnt. 1t vas substantially the
same a. that claimed by the Demo
cratic lawyers in South Carolina. AZ
ter Biddle's argument a large number
OF additional atidavits were filed, in
Guiding these of the Republican in
spectors Of Jefferson county, which
disprove all the Democratic allegations
about that county. IT the Democrats
had waited for these aflidavits before
making their argument they would
not probably have asked the board TO
throw out 300 votes from Jefferson
county. At the evening session ex-
Governor Noyes read the summing up

The summing up by the General and
his review of the entire case on the
