RUSSIAN PEASANTRY.

In an article on the Russian peasantry the Aoira
observes that the chief peasant In village some
times has moro power than any man In the Empire
except the Gear. He has the power. for instance Of
ordering u culprit to be logged right which is
denied by law To any other public functionary or
citizen ia the Empire. Further, majority OF the
peasants in commune sentence one OF their
number to be beaten with sticks. aud there Is no
appeal against the sentence. 1t is true that women
may no longer be hogged and that the maximum
number OF blows winch may be inflicted on n
man IL twenty, while formerly
sometimes beaten to death by order of the COM
mune. but the commune can still sentence man to
banishne to Siberia for life. This sentence has
been passed for such petty offences as stealing a
handker chicf or u little honey or opening brandy
shop without tho permission of the commune. In
tho government of SanarA u man was sentenced to
be banished, together with hts family. shortly af
ter, however, tho Senate. to whom the case
terred decided that the man should be permitted to
remain IN his village on tue ground that his health
would not permit OF his going to Siberia. The
of the mans WIFE, however, was not considered. and
the sentence carried out so far AS she con-
c,rncd though she was innocent of any crime. aud
had been directed TO 20 to Sibcris merely IN order
that she should not be separated from her husband
