History Repeating Itself.

German paper points out that there
is striking similarity between the as
surances Of the Russian Government in
the present crisis and those which it
gave ITO years ago, at the time OF the
partition of Poland. Russia was then
the champion of the Polish male ontents,
as she is now of the Turkish Slavs aud
she then also put forward her demands
with the purest Observation-Disclosures, and
from deslre-nay, love OF peace"
the Empress Catherine then declared,
as solemnly as the Emperor Alexander
does now, that she only asked for guar
aptees because she was anxious for "the
maintenance of the general peace" and
that she would rejoice if her "noble I'M
dertaKing were blessed by divine Provi-
dence," and if humanity enjoyed the
benefits OF peace" She added that only
envy and malignity could suggest that
she coveted Polish territory. 81 will
never" she said. "make any claim to
the territory of Poland will even Sc
cure the integrity of that country if any
other power should attack it." She
wished TO protect the malcontents only
:" in the interest of humanity and her
only object was "to gnin the respect of
Europe apd the pleasing CONSCIOUSNESS
OF having promoted the happiness of a
neighboring nation"
These assurances were given at the
very time when partition of Poland
was being secretly negotiated with Prus-
STA. Soon after the Russian troops en-
tered Poland, but the Government de-
clared this was only for the purpose of
preventing any disturbances which
might be caused by the grant of conces-
sions to the mslcontents, and that "the
Empress motherly heart would be
deeply grieved if any blood were shed
unnecessarily" Nevertheless, large
piece of Poland was annexed and when
the Poles protested they were told by
the Russian Ambass ador that "the EN-
press still prefers the interests of Po-
land to her own" but that, the annexa-
ton being an accomplished fact, il can
not be reversed by metaphysical areu
ments. Pail Man Gazette.

The Grain Movement.

The new freight rate increases the cost
of transportation of bushel of wheat
from Chicago to New York about six
cents, and a rise in price in Chicago on
top of this makes q total advance, with
in a week, OF ten cents. Ocean freights
are a little weaker, so that the effect of
the suspension of the freight war on ex-
ports is not likely to be very marked.
The wheat movement has been compare
lively small for the whole year, the ssa-
board receipts for fifty weeks being only
than in 1875, and 19, 600, 900 less than in
1874. Most of this falling off has been
since the new harvest came in. This is
only the Atlantic movement, and takes
no account of the Californian. But.
since Sept 1, Great Britain has received
only 8, 400, 600 centals of wheat from us,
against IL, 900, coo az Il Q sa ne time last
year. The new California will arrive in
Europe for some months now at the rate
of ship load day. Indian corn has
been the great crop of the year. the sea-
board receipts rising to "a, 900, 900 BUSH
els, or go per cent. above last years.
Farm operations in Western New Eu-
gland are now almost as dependent on
the Western corn supply as in the West
itself, and the price of this raw material
is intimately related to the profit at
which meats, butter, cheese, poultry
and many other of our local products
can be turned of.-Springfe Id Mass. }

Dirt IS Medicine.

Some very extraordinary properties
have been discovered in the earth, of
New Jersey 1t seems to be an infallible
cure for chronic diseases, for rheuma-
tism, wounds, bruises aud corrupting
sores. The application is very simple
The earth is bound on TO the limb, and
changed once day. Some very extraor-
binary cures have been performed, and
people carry off quantities of the earth
and apply il Mt home. 1t can be found
not only by the acre, but 10y the mile.
1t is as good for animals as il Is for man.
A farmer had hog that was fearfully
hcerated. Inflammation set In, and the
hog was turned out to die. He crawied
to a hollow filed with swash. He laid
himself down and continued to wallow.
In three days the Inflammation was gone.
The animal began 10 eat, and in less
than week was perfectly cured.
Whether the medical properties are
chemical or mineral no one can tell az
yet. The farm on which this remarkable
earth is found lie owned by New York
merchant. His friends already distin-
guish him as the Mud Doctor.

A Boy Kills His Brother for Ten Gents

On Monday evening, at Motifs mill,
about twelve miles from this city, on the
Western railroad, Lige Mott, colored,
shot and killed his brother William.
The former, it appears, had taken ten
cents which belonged to the latter, pur-
chased ammunition with it, and went
hunting. On his return, William, be-
ing the older and stronger, gave him a
whipping. This enraged Lige very
much, and he seized his musket and shot
his brother through the heart. William
ran about fifty yards, exclaimed that he
was dead man, fell, and died instantly.
Lige fled after the deed was committed,
and has not been seen since. The de-
ceased was about Is years old, and his
brother about eighteen months his
junior. (Ga.) Inquirer.

THE FINAL COUNT.

What Will the Acting Vice President DO I?
Washington dan. 81 Telegram to Chicago Trib-
une.l
There is great anxiety to know the
views of Vice President Ferry upon the
electoral question, and particularly to
learn, if possible, the plan which he has
decided to adopt in the counting of the
electoral vote. Ferry, owing to his pc
culiar position, cannot permit an au-
thoritative statement to be made, but It
is confidently believed by these who
have excellent opportunities for know
ing. that he has adopted one of the two
following plans First, he will either
count all the votes, opening only those
from the four contested States which he
considers to be the rightful ones, and
will announce the result to the Joint
convention, with the statement that that
is his judgment as to the proper count ;
but that If the two houses concurrently
arrive at different conclusion he will
obey any Instructions which the joint
convention, acting concurrently, shall
give him.
Second, he will count at first only the
votes from States as to which there is no
dispute, and will then present the dupli-
cate sets of returns from each of the
four contested States to the joint con-
vntion with the announcement that as
to them he awaits some instruction from
the two houses, acting concurrently. 1t
cannot be stated with equal plain
ness what his action would be should
the two houses not agree upon some
specific instruction as to the disputed
votes. There is good reason. however,
to believe that, in the event Of the two
houses declining to give him the con-
current instruction he desires, he will
then consider himself under the consti-
tuition required to declare the result ac-
cording to his best Judgment In such
case there could be little doubt that he
would count the returns from the dis
puted States which the Republicans at
present consider the only legal ones.
But of one thing there can be little
doubt, namely, that, as to the trouble
with the questions connected with the
four States in dispute, Mr.. Ferry will
first ask q concurrent instruction from
the two houses. These conclusions pro-
coed upon the assumption that prior to
the 14th of February the two houses do
not agree upon such rule or specific in
structions as Mr.. Ferry now contem-
plates asking. Should such an agree
ment between the two houses be had
before that time, the counting and dec
iaration of the vote would be entirely
ministerial.
