4 RECENT CHAPTER or RUSSIAN HIS
TORY.
HOW CATHOLICS ARE TREATED.


Mr.. Henry Owen Lewis, MP. for Car
low, has brought out iuto daylight a report
made by Colonel Mansfield the BritishiCon
sui General at Warsaw, on the means used
by the Russian Government to persuade
the Polish members of the United Greek
Communion into the fold of the Russian
Nation al Church, which is not of a nature
to warm the sympathist of mankind to-
wards Russia as a regenerator of European
Turkey and protector of oppressed Chris
tisns, Given an United Greek, it probably
will not make much difference to him
whether he is beaten to death with rods,
for not paying taxes enough, by Mahom-
eta collector, or beaten to death with
rods by q Russian military officer for re
fusing to have his children baptized by q
Russian village pope. The United Greeks
are Christians of the Greek Church who
acknowlede the supremacy of TIE Pope at
Rome. They are most numerous in Aus
tria, but are to be found in Turkey, Rus
sia aud Southern Italy; and the Russian
Government has bean steadily at work for
more than a century past reducing them, as
one may say, "to the ranks" Since 1871
the efforts of the Government in this direc-
tion have been particularly vigorous and
the Parliamentary paper to which we refer
gives US an interior view of the processes
employed in the operation. While the
Russian journals we're describing the return
of the United Greeks of Poland to the
Church of the White Car as a spontaneous
and irrepressible outburst of loyalty, the
British Consul General, writing to his
| an Government, is found representing it
as the work of Cossack evangelists using
the whip, the stick, the lance and the jail
as their instruments of conversion.
On January %, 1874, Colonel Mansfield
reports q renewal of disturbances in the
governments of Siedlee and Lublin, "re-
sultlug IL bloodshed, loss of life and the
most barbarous treatment inflicted on the
peasants"
"In the district of Minciewiez," says Col
onel Maste!d, the peasauts surrounded the
church and defied the military to introduce
the priest. The former, with their wives
and children, were finally mastered and
surrounded and given the option Ofslguing

1t seems that some of the Eucalypti actually
oyertop the Pyramids in height. "A celebrated
naturalist, M Planchou, has giverrinsthe Rerue
des Deu1 Mondes resume of sll that is known
about these wonderful trees. He says that
while the Eucalyptus Amygdalina atsa'ns to a
the dome of the Invalides in PsrIs in only los

highest building in the woTld-l46 meters.

ally in Algeria. In Valantia (Spaip)~ the

| recal lcitrants we're imprisoned aud com mu
pities fined. On the first Of January, 1875,
| Colonel Ma"stie'd again reports that " the
details of the antagonism between the au-
thorities and the peasants have been most
narrowing. In one village II peasant sut-
focated himself and his family with char
coal, rather than have his child baptlseu oy
the governmental parish pope" The NOR
forests had beeu "fightful." On the 20 III
of the same month the Consul had 1.-The
honor to report" that ffty-:wo thousand
United Greeks in the Government or Sic
dice had been received into the RUSSIAN
National Church, but adds that this has
been effected by various means, IN which
physical maltreatment has formed not
lnconsiderable element, besides banshment
to Siberia, the devonring of taeir substance
by the Cossacks ard corporal punishment.
In the village, he says, "tbe peasants were
assem- bled and beaten by the Cossacks until
the military surgeon stated that more
would endanger life" "they Were then
driven through a half frozen river up to
their waists iuto the parish church through
files of soldiers where their names were
entered il petitions expressing their
"boundees DEVOTION" to their "august
Sovereign Liberator," and their readiness
TO "walk in the course traced out by his
powerful imperial Will! These, it must
be remem bered, are the statements of the
English Consul General; II the charges of
Roman Catholic jnpr1 sie, such as the
Nonae, are consldcred, lrcomparabiy
worse things are alleged.
1t IS not surprising that the anti Russian
papers III Euglaed like the Telegraph
should make these facts the basis of fierce
denunciatory articles 10 reply to the phil
anthrophists who Insist that Russia shall
be regarded as a divine.y appointed agent
izstion in European Turkey; and it is worth
while for Americans to consider them ser
iOusiy when they are making up their
r inds upon the merits Of the Russo Tuck
ish conflict from a strictly humanitarian
point of view. They do not prove of course,
that Bulgaria and Bosnia would not be
better Off, materially speaking, under Rus
sian rule than under Turkish rule. But
they do afford very grave reasons for de-
clining to regard Russia as an entirely dis
interested and trustworthy representative
of liberal Christianity, moved and ibstiga-
ted to her attack upon Turkey solely by
her desire to spread the blessings of peace
and federation from the Danube to the Sea
of Marmora.

Notes From Rldgoway.

R1DGEwAy, November 24.-The
"Moiso Light Artillery" is the name
adopted by the first artillery com-
pany raised in Fairfield since the
dark and lowering clouds which
followed Reconstruction have been
swept from our political horizon.
This company (or rather two sec~
tions of q company was organized
recently at Ridgeway. Tho organi..
zation is on the high road to sues
cess, having elected good and
energetic mon to Office, and as far
as we know perfect unity prevails,
which is SO necessary to SUCCESS in
any body, The captain, Chas. e.
Thomas, deserves great doal of
credit for tho perseverance he ex~
hibited in raising this company, and
his untiring labor for it's success.
The other officers ore Lieutenants
P. NJ. Spence and P. e. Cloud,
Sergeant r. H. Edmund s., Jr., and
Corporal M. Z. Cooper.
The Hampton Rifle Guard are
also progressing and at present are
negotiating for uniforms which we
hope to have by the March inspec-
ton, when, with our infantry and
artillery, we will give the Doro a
close race for the championship of
Fairfield.
Cotton is opening very slowly,and
consequently farmers arc growing
proportionatciy ''blue" at the PROS
pect of a short crop, little money
and hard times.
We wero quite charmed at the
"fair" exhibits from Ninnsboro, at
the capital last week, having had the
pleasure of joining them at this
point.
And when next thoy"--go to the fair
INLAY wo be there TO see."

DELAY IN THE MAILS. The Regis-
ter says of THE NEwsAND HERALD; 'sIt
is exceedingly rare for us to get the
paper in less than twenty-four
hours" Why this is, we do not
know. The inAexible rule of the
postmaster hero is to close the mail
ut 8 o'clock in the evening. We al
ways try to get our packages in the
Office at that time, but sometimes
miss it, and thon, of course, our
papers lie over for twenty-four hours.
Oflate we have frequently been put
to serious trouble owing to the carly
hour at which the mail closes, but
have preferred to make no cons
plant. In truth, however, we do
think eight o'clock an unreason-
ably early hour for the mail to clos SO
it being five hours before the
arrival of the southern~bound TRAIN,
and seven hours before the arrival
of the northern>bound. Ten o'clock
would be none too late and we are
sure that hour would suit business
men and all much better. We do
not find fault with our worthy post
master, nor do we question his right
to fix his own hours. But it is hard
for us to bc put behind twenty-four
hours, in consequence of hardness
OF few minutes. Of course we
get our papers in as favor, but we
believe in systom, and when q man
has his rules we dislike to ask a
departure from them. The remedy
for the difficulty lies in fixing the
hour for the mail-closing q little
later-~say nine or half-past nine in
winter, and ten or half~past ten in
summer. What the Register says
about the recent four days delay is
strictly correct. But this is due
solely to the Encouragement and
want OF accommodation of the cor
poration at whose mercy we have

The STATE SUPERINTENDENT OF
EDucAr1oN.-AIaj. II. S. Thompson
the State superintendent, has kind
ly accepted IN invitation to be in
Winnsboro on Saturday, in behalf
of the schools of Fairfield, He is
thoroughly in earnest in his work
of reforming old abuses, and
getting the schools we'll to work
and he is satisfied that he will sue
cced provided he secure the hearty
cooperation of the people. One
OF tho principal ends to be accom-
piished is the securing Of competent
teachers. The State Superintend-
ont will give his views on that
subject. 1t is of Importance that
every one desirous of teaching next
year should meot him and hear
what he has to say. It is the
desire of the County Board of
Examiners, if possible, to organize
q training school, or institute, in
Winnsboro, during the month of
December, in which parties may
have an opportunity of acquiring
OF renewing information. IF a
sufficient number of persons will
signify an intention of entering
this institute, it will be opened at
no e1peaese to the Stote or County.
Students will be at no cost for in
struction. Their only outlay will be
in maintaining themselves while in
attendance. A months review of
the elementary branches, with hints
on tho best methods of conducting
a school and imparting instruction,
will be of vast benefit, far moro
than compensating them for any
expense incurred in attendance. In
this way, the "examination" will be
shorn of many Of it's terrors. It is
sincerely hoped that teachers and
applicants will avail themselves of
the opportunity offered. The FEAST
bility of establishing this institute
will be Thoroughly discussed on
Saturday and for this reason, all
teachers arc requested to be present.
Superintendent Thompson is m
officer Of ability, genial gentleman
and IN instructive speaker. He
should meet with warm welcome.
The inclemency of the weather last
week is the reason he was not in
Winnsboro on Saturday, tho Coun-
ty Board of Examiners deeming it
best to postpone his visit week.
The Superintendent will be here
on Saturday morning, and the meet.
ing will be held about nine O'clock.

Washed and Unwashed Butter.

The flavor Of butter that has been washed
is different from that which has not been
washed. When uuwashed there is always a
little butter-milk and sugar kdhering to the
butter that gives it q peculiar flavor in addi-
ton 70 that Of pure butter, which many peo-
pie like when It is new. Washing removes
all this foreign matter and leaves only the
taste Of the butter pure and simple. Those
who prefer the taste of the butter TO the for
eign Ingredients mixed with il like the wash
cd butter best
The assertion is often made and many peo-
pie believe that water washes out the flavor
Of the butter, but it only cleanses the butter
Of the buttermilk, sugar and milk acid, which
may adhere to it, just as clarifying sugar
removes from it the foreign matters which
modify its true flavor. The flavor Of butter
consists of fatty matters which do not COM
bine with water at all. and cannot therefore
be washed away byit.
The effect Of washing upon the keeping
qualities of the butter depends upon the pu-
rity of the water with which the washing is
done. If the water contains no foreign mat
ter which will effect the butter, it will keep
better for washing out than by working ii out.
But if the water is hard from the presence
of lime, or contains anything that would in-
jure the butter by contact with it, washing
becomes an injury instead of benefit to its
keeping Nothing but the best and purest
water should be used about butter. Very
hard water is always Questionable. 1t is
not, however, so Objectionable as the water
from wells which contain muddy sediment
so full Of organic matter as to become tainted.
Water standing over such mud takes in the
taint, and if used for washing butter is sure
to injure for long keeping. There is good
deal of water otherwise good which is rem
rendered entirely unfit for using about butter
by reason of sediment at the bottom of tue
well-Boston Journal Of Chemistry.
