The following story Is told I'm illus
stration of the sagacity ofthe celebrated
Irish barrister, Curran:
A farmer, attending a fair with q
hundred pounds in his pocket, took
the precaution to deposit it in the
hands of the landlord Of the public
house at which he stopped over night.
Asking for 1t the next day the land
lord, too deep for the countryman,
wondered what he meant and asserted
that no such sum had been lodged in his
hands by the astonished rustic. After
Intellectual appeals to the recollection,
and finally to the honor of Bardolph,
the farmer applied to Curran for ad-
vice.
"Have patience, my friend" said
the coansel "speak tn the landlord
,civilly--tell him that you may have
left your money with some other per-
son. Go home, raise another hun
dred, and taking with you friend,
lodge it with the landlord in the
presence of your friend, and come to
me.n fr
= He did so, and returned to his legal
friend, saying, L can't see how I am
going to be better off for this, If get
my second hundred back again. But
how Is this to be done 2"
I" Go and ask him for II when you
are alone with him." said the coun-
sell -
AYE, sir, asking won't do. am
afraid, without my witness, at any
rate.n
aNever mind, take my advice" said
his counsel "dO as bid you, and re-
turn to me-"
The farmer soon returned with his
hundred, glad to find that safely In his
possession. .7i af'
Now, sir, I must be content; but
] don't see that I am much better
Now" said the counsel, I" take
your friend along with you, and ask
the landlord for the hundred pounds
your friend saw you leave him."
The willy landlord found that he had
been taken off his guard, while his
honest friend returned to thank his ad-
wiser exultingly, with both hundreds
in his pocket. ~ ..,s,5, -, ....

During the war there lived I'm the

li AS the Illinois legislature haB made
anappropriation for the conipleti0p Of
the Lincoln monument. at 6phngdeld,
q description Of the monument will
have peculiar interest just now, and p
here given: IR .sss ssls soii
The group which is to be placed on
the right Of the statue Of Lincoln rep
resents the infantry arm Of the service,
and wins decisive Victories. The CEN
tire figure Of this group Is an officer
who has Just seized the staff of a flag
whicn but moment before had fallen
from the grasp Of its bearer. With
this flag he Is In the act of advancing
on the enemy. On his right is an in
fantry soldier in full uniform, and
with all his equipment, In the act Of
left OF the officer is drummer boy,
who, with his drum strung on his
back, with O pistol In his right hand
and a drum-stick in his left, is also
rushing on the enemy. These figures
are of heroic size and full of life and
spirit. The flag in the officers hand
streams out, displaying in its full bla-
zonry, and being slightly elevated.

feet.
On the left of Lincoln's statue is to
stand the naval group which has for
mortars which were used In the expe-
ditions both down and up the Missis-
sippi river. On this mortar is perched
the front to discover the object indicat-
kIxA ~ ri hA 10 fNpp
the right of the mortar, and who has
ceased the labor of rolling o shell
toward the mortar, to call attention to
something in the distance. On the
left Of the mortar is q naval officer,
who has Just taken from his eye the
glass with which he has been inspect
Ing the enemy. His figure Is In per-
feet repose, and his face Is calm and
assured, as becomes an officer of the
true breed in the American navy. The
contrast between the excitement Of the
boy and Of the sailor and the cool con-
fidence Of the officer Is very striking,
and draws instant attention. .at 81
When these groups are in position
the southern side of the monument
will represent Lincoln crushing the
rebellion with the army and the navy,
while in his hand he holds the eman-
cipation proclamation. These groups
were designed and modelled BY Larkin
g. Meade. now Of Florence, Italy.
They cost $1,000 each, and each
weighs nearly four tons. Two other
groups of equal size, representing re-
spectively the cavalry and artillery
arms, are yet to be produced to COM
plete the original design and fill up
the vacant pedestals. ~

Russian Sects.

Many of the sects have persons among
them whom they believe to be Christ,
incarnate for the second time, and the
Virgin. One sect was founded by q
peasant-soldier, Daniel Philipitch,
about the middle of the seventeenth
century, and Is now strong in many
parts Of the empire. Philipitch's doc
trines, as reported by Mr.. Hepworth
Dixon, who has made a special study
in Russia Of secret and curious sects,
were, first, "I am Cod" second,
''There is no other God;" and third,
"There is nothing new" He gave
nine precepts to his followers, which /
quote from Mr.. Dixon's text: Drink
no wine. Remain where you are.
Never Marry. Never swear or name
the devil. Attend no wedding, christ
ening, or other feast. Never steal.
Keep my doctrine secret. Love each
other, and keep my laws. Believe in
the Holy Spirft.n a
Another soldier has recently estab-
lished q new religion which is so Sc
cret that It has no name, even among
its disciples. Hepretended tobe Christ,
and chose q woman for Virgfn-mother.
The accounts given Of this sect repre-
sent Its doctrines and practices to be
unlawful and blasphemOus. The men,
bers are said to insult the church in
their meetings, and to treat sacred
things with the utmost indignity and
yet when the authorities undertook TO
punish the heresy, the men who were
arrested established by abundant evil
dence their perfectly good behavior,
and proved even that they were in all
respects especially exemplary citizens
and subjects; that they paid their tax
es, obeyed the law, performed all their
duties, lived sober lives, attended the
services and participated in the rites
and ceremonies of the Orthodox
Church, went to confession regularly,
partook of the sacramento, and con-
formed strictly to the requirements of
the church. Enough was proved, how
ever, to make 1t certain that these men
have q secret religion Of their own;
and an emissary of the police, who had
attended their meetings, testified that
they Knocked the sacraments, spat up
on icons, and gave other expression Of
their contempt for the church, which
In public they treated with ostenta-
tious respect and veneration. This
sect also has Virgin as well as liv-
ing Christ. -
Mr.. Dixon tells US of another sect In
Moscow who regard Napoleon as the
Messiah, and worship his image. They
believe that the French emperor Is
still alive, somewhere in Asia, and
that in due time he will return and
conquer the forces of the czar.
/ have mentioned here only few
of the many sects which have been
described in Russian official records.
The list might be extended almost In
definitely ii there were space at COM
mand., One sect, whose practices are
not proper matters to be described in,
this place, boast that even the EN-,
peror Alexander I. was q member Of
their communion. This Is extremely
unlikely; but 1t is certain that that
czar was deeply interested In studying
the doctrines Of the order, and for that
purpose went among them in person,
and questioned them of their belief
and practice. George Cary Egglestop.

amount Of hope to its own, in the follow
ing, from its Washington correspondent:
Republican members Of the commission
boldly avowed the doctrine that the cert.
hcates Of the Governor and the State Can
vasserB were final and could not even in

fraud, be corrected by the State or by Com
gress. They said that was the end of Il.
Justice Bradley did not 20 quite 30 far IS
rect wrongful act, If provision had been
made by the State to do it, and not other

This, then, makes scrutiny into the
eligibility Of the Florida elector pre-
cedent for an inquiry into the status of
Cronin, Of Oregon, where a remedy is
found in the law of the State for the
wrongful acts of himself and his asso-
ciates.
The Times special finds the only hope
of the Democracy in another view:
Members Of the commission say that the
ruling in the Florida case will not govern
Other GASES so far as inquiring into the eli
gibility of electors is concerned, and that
their ruling was only intended for the Flor
ida case. This also gives Democrats en-
couragement.
