London Times of the Doth ult. publishes
long letter from its regular St. Peters

secondly, through the organs and

extraordinary number of criminal arrests

THE United States Minister to Russia,
che Hon. E. W. Stoughton, who has late
ly come home on a visit, says that the
Nihiist troubles in the dominions of the
Gar have been grossly exaggerated, and
"that nearly every material statement
made about them is absolutely untrue"
Most of the letters dated ST. Petersburg or
Moscow or Odessa never saw Russian soil, &,
and of his own knowledge Minister
Stoughton pronounces the most sensa-
tonal statements contained in them false.
The Russian people are not deeply infect
ed with Nihilsm, and it is not true that
whole classes of students have been
arrested and shipped off to Siberia or
locked up in dungeons, or that there was
any serious disaffection in the army, or
that women of respectability had become
members Of the secret order. The sen.
sational and damaging reports as to the
social and political state of affairs in
Russia are about all traceable to British
sources where the "wish is father to the
thought" These positive statements o.

LAST winter the Mexican Government,
with a great flourish of trumpets, an
nounced that it would hold a grand
International Exposition in 1881, and
passed halG-million appropriation. That
was the rocket. They have discovered
that the building alone would cost the
amount of the appropriation, and that
they could not raise the amount if they
would, so they have decided to abandon
it. That is the stick. The whole thing
was bombastic Mexican fizzle.

WHEN Music, heavenly maid, was
young, and Pan piped peacefully his SIM
pie strains, the world dreamed not of
the day when Song should hold her ma
tional festivals and singers should gather
from near and far to do her homage. Bat
as the world grew in wisdom it grew in
harmony, until there is now no holiday
that exctes its people to more intense
enthusiasm than the day devoted to mu-
sic. No victory of war could call forth
such display of gay banners or arouse
among our citizens deeper interest than
are manifested at these feasts of melody.
These are celebrations of peace. The
brilliant decorations that float on the
breeze do not welcome warriors from bat
tie fields, and the portraits that greet Nlr
gaze at every turn are not the faces of
sanguinary soldiers. The welcome is to
the devotees of Music, and the portraits
are those of the masters who have con-
tributed to her lasting glory.
