The recent dismissal by the En-
peror of Russia, says the New
York Sun, of his sanguinary Cheif
of Police Trepoff recalls the wounds
he received last winter from 'the
pistol of the young girl, Vera
Zasoulitch, who was triumphantly
acquitted after the trial amid frantic
applause in the conrt. Last June
Trepoff visited the prison for
political prisoners in st. Peters
burg, and inspected the inmates,
who, according to the rules, walk
ed about the court yard without
speaking to each other. Finally,
he observed two men in cenversa-
ton, and shouted TO the prison
director, who tremblingly followed
him: "Why do these men enjoy
an immunity." "Seigneur." said
one of them, named Bogoliouh-
off, "we-." "Hold your tongue"
was the reply. "Director, place
this man in dungeon" Bogolionh-
off remained immovahle, with his
hat upon his head. Trepof lifted
his stick to knock it off, but his
victim snatched it from his hand
and threw it away. 81 do not take of
my hat to tyrants," said he. At this
moment two jailers seized him, laid
him upon a bench, took off his gar
ments, tied him, and administered,
by order of Trepof and under his
eyes, fifty blows with the knout,
which left the unfortunate man
mutilated, inanimated, and stream
ing with blood. Six months after
ward a young girl called at Trepofs Is
office with a petition for Bogoliouh-
offs release. "In twenty years.
said Trepoff, with sardonic smile,
'motioning his attendant to admit
another visitor. At this moment
the girl fired two balls into his
breast and with flashing eyes and
the revolver smoking in her hand,
cried: 81 am Vera Zasoulitch, the
betrothed of Bogoliouhoff, whom
you have assassinated. / revenge
him !"

ments of decaying vegetables mat
ter, seeds of desease, at every
drink. Ii is needless to add that
such quantities of decaying veget-
able matter renders water totally
and emphatically unfit for drinking
or domestic purposes. Filtering
is help, but the poisonous eman-
ations from this large mass, con-
stantly accumulating, and con-
stantly decaying are absorbed by
the water and presented in another
form. Public filters soon get, foul,
and cannot be relied upon.
These conclusions are in harmony
with all works on hygiene, and one
can hardly deny that they perfect
ly accord with human reasoning.

BY UNIVERSAL ACCORD.

AYERS C!ATHART1c Pills are the best of
all purgatives for family use. They are
the product OF long, laborious, and sue
cessful chemical investigation, and their
extensive use, by Physicians in their prac-
tice, and by all civilized nations, proves
them the best and most effectual purgative
Pill that medical science can devise.
Being purely vegetable no harm can arise
from their use. In intrinsic value and
curative powers no other Pills can be
compared with them and every person,
knowing their virtues, will employ them,
when needed. They keep the system in
perfect order, and maintain in healthy
action the whole machinery of life. Mild,
searching and etfectual, they are specially
adapted to the needs.of the digestive ap-
paratus, arrangements of which they
prevent and cure, if timely taken. They
are the best and safest phYsic to employ
for children and weakened cons titutions,
where mild, but effsctual, cathartlc is
required.
