How the Russian Peasant Lives.

Correspondence of the Newark Advertiser
The houses OF the Russian peasantry are
built Of logs and are thoroughly filthy, so
that no civilized person could eat or sleep
in them if he wished. 4 fresh egg was the
only thing that seemed to be uncontam NINA
$ed. The peasant dwells with his horses
and cattle under the same roof, he above
and they below. so that the odor of the sta
Bile and every other imaginable vile smell
permeates the whole interior. One not ac-
customed to that way of living cannot stay
within doors, much less eat their food.
Their household furniture is of the most
primitive kind, SO also their farming imple-
ments. Indeed, everything makes you feel
tnat you are carried back to the Dark Ages.
The people live in villages altogether, each
family having land apportioned to them
according to their numbers, by the village
commune or assembly, which also decides
as to the rotation Of crops and the time of
gathering them. Some of the country
through which we passed seemed quite
fertile, but the greater part has barren
appearance Often whole stations would
be continued wilderness, with sandy or
corduroy road, forest of pine. spruce and
birch stretching away on either hanl.

A Forty Years. Debt.

Forty years ago the father of o lady in
New York city was a miller in Ireland.
A man of the name of Raftis owed him q
debt of $50, which for some reason he
left unpaid, and came to New York.
Years after, when on his death bed, this
unpaid debt weighed heavily on his con-
science, and calling his brother to his
bedside he gave him the money and ex-
acted Il solemn promise that the debt
should be paid. The brother ut once
wrote to Ireland and learned that the
miller was dead, and that his only heir,
q daughter, was married and living some
where in America, but he vas unable to
ascertain tile name of her husband.
With only the name of the lady's father
and the fact that she lived somewhere in
America as q clue, Mr.. Raftis commenced
the seemingly hopeless task Of searching
for her and redeeming'h his pledge to his
dying brother. BY accident he heard Of
a lady living in Dubuque whose family
had borne the miller's name. He visited
her, and after asking her a few ques-
tons, learned hat the object of his
search was found. MI. Raftis insisted
on not only paying the original debt,
but forty years interest.

Stripped by the Lightning.

On a farm sixteen miles southeast OF
Jacksonville, ILL.,, and not far from
Franklin, Mr.. Samuel McCurley, his
son Pullall, and a hired hand were at
work when q severe thunder shower be-
gan. The party sought refuge under a
tree. While waiting for the subsistence
of the storm, the electric fluid descended
the tree and felled two of the men sense
less to the ground. One, the laborer,
soon recovered, and was unframed.
The other, young McCuriey, seemed
l~ifeless, and was supposed to be dead.
His clothes were stripped from him,
even to his boots. Some of his garments
were on fire. His underclothes even
were burned or torn into shreds. The
Door fellows body was burned and bis
tered down the entire back, from his
shoulders to his heels, and even the
soles of his feet. His companions
wrapped up the almost naked body IN
their coats and carried it off to the farm
house, about a quarter of a mile distant.
There it was discovered that life YVES not
extinct. The sufferer recovered con-
sciousness, and is now convalescent.

The Cry Of NiDead Heads"

In a long article on Journalism aud
Reporters" the New York Evening Mail
says thus: Tt is the people and not the
journalists who are "dead heads" In case
anything more serious than stubbing the
toe Details a man, he hastens to the nearest
newspaper and demands that the editor
shall WELD the pen anu shed ink in his
vindication or defense. And ii the iadel
editor does not with a~lacritv espouse the
cause of his ''patrons' he will make an
enemy for life. members of the press"
are literally hunted down by all sorts of
people who have IKE to grind. The
managers of q public meeting who do
not find the reporters at the table, suf-
fer stings of disappointment; the Judge,
who generously blows his nose before
reading his opinion. looks anxiously for
the stenographers; the preacher who des-
cants upon some special subject, loses
spirit if the representatives of the press
are not there; V the burglar on the way
to the State prison covets a talk with the
newspaper man. Yet the outside
barbarian thinks all newspaper men are
dead heads, and envies them the fine
times they have in the way OF free din
hers and free tickets to all manner of
shows. Thereneverwas.a greater mistake.
People do not seem to realize that, Oh
the part Of the journalist, it is merely
- matter Of business; that the re-
porter goes to the places, so attractive to
outsiders, much as the horse goes to the
plow-because he must do SO. We ven-
tainments are to journalists intolerable
bores. The press is the victim of the
public's rapacious and unceasing de-
mand for services without pay. Let us
have the boot on the right leg.

is saying a good deal. A teacher is or
dinarily employed i'll the school-room
about seven hours, and she has vacations
Of at least ten weeks during the year.
She has less physical fatigue to endure
than workingwomen in shops or factories;
her working time is shorter; she has
more rest. Tt was not physical fatigue
that unhinged the mind of this delicate
Wisconsin girl it vas the discipline,
the worrying, the nerve-grinding, the
soul-harrowing it was not WEAKNESS Of
body, but WEAKNESS Of soul that tor
tured and wore out her life. Probably
she did not have the physical basis Tor

events, she had not learned the art of
arranging her life ont Of school hours so
as to get relief from her drudgery aud

stupid girls were never ont of her head !;
her exhausted spirit worried over them

A Warming.

Opium eaters had better take warming
rom the experience of Mrs. Sarah A.
Davis, of Boston, lately arrested for
stealing $3.50 worth of silverware. The
defense was that she had been for years
addicted to the excessive use Of opium;
that this produces epilepsy, which often
results in a loss of moral sense, a de-
.struction Of the ability to discern be-
tween right and wrong, and a decrease
of will power; that it promotes a ten
dency to deceive and falsify, and that all
these results we're apparent in the de-
PENDANT. Medical evidence was given
sustaining the defense, and Mrs. Davis
was sent to an insane asylum.

What Russia Wants.

Misgivings are entertained in England
and Germany that if Russia acquires
possession of Turkey, she will largely di-
vert the trade of that country. These
apprehensions are well founded, mas
much as Russia is mainly a s~elf-snpport-
ing nation, and makes each country
which she conquers conform to the i'll
dustrial system of the empire. The
government has just directed that all To-
comotives and rolling stock shall hence
forth be procured at home, promising to
admit the raw material duty free and to
grant both subsidies and premiums to
