A Nihilist's Awful Death.

On the northern shores of the Black
sea lies the beautiful city of Odessa,
celebrated as the chief grain exporting
city of the Russian empire. But in
this city there is prison which is by
no means beautiful. To any person
unacquainted with the horrible sides of
mankind's character the following
would seem to be incredible. It is told
by the Paris Steele, and is unquestion-
ably true:
Ayoung Russian Nihiist, Mr.. Somof,
had been for years time incarcerated
in that Odessa prison. The cell allotted
to him was so filed with filth of every
description that he was daily near suf-
location. When he could not stand the
filthy smell any longer he petitioned
the authorities in the case to have him
placed before the proper judges in the
matter and duly tried. This petition
maddened his jailer into downright
Russian frenzy, and his next order was,
"Take that scoundrel, tie him to the
lashing-post and give him twenty-five
knout strikes"
The subordinates, as in duty bound,
obeyed the mandate. They took Somoff,
tied him to the terrible triangle, and
went so notify the jailer that his pris-
oner was ready for the, execution.
Somof, finding himself alone, and see
ing petroleum lamp burning above
him just within his reach-the tragedy
occurred in the evening-tried to grab
it. Impossible! And then what did

These comparisons, too, might for the
South be extended almost indefinitely.
If the inland States with which 7 have
been dealing presented within the same
boundary lines such very diverse popu-
lations as those of the mountains and
lowlands, the States on the coast, such
as the Carolinas and Georgia, had their
'sand-hillers," the people Of the "piney
woods or tar region, to exhibit in
wide contrast to the wealthy rice and
cotton-planters of the same common
wealths. While, as almost every one
knows, it was hard to find anywhere
within the bounds of the nationality
men of more education and travelled in
telligence than the latter, many of them
spending successive years abroad along
with their families the sand hillers,' .
on the other hand, presented phases of
life, of poverty, of almost total igno-
rance and simplicity, such as seems
hard to accredit any portion Of this
country with, unless demonstrated as
such by personal observation. And yet
there they were and are, and it does not
need discussion of their peculiarities
here to establish the fact that such ex-
list, since in various sketches Of those
regions, by their own local writers-by
Judge Longstreet, for instance they
have been set forth graphically and at
length. Let the traveller meet with, for
instance, in the "piney woods" men
going fifteen or twenty miles with a
cart, the wheels with hickory tires, and
the rude vehicle loaded with a single
barrel of tar, worth, perhaps, So, with
the inevitable Jug along to contain in
part the proceeds of the long journey
and the barter; let him often enough
see this as have seen it, and he would
no longer question all that has been
said of the utter isolation and misera-
BILE want of enterprise and high motive
characteristic of those people.
The truth is that society in the South,
however it started away back in the
history of the nation, was, later, one
of strong and broad contrasts-con-
trasts that were widening every year
and decade, until recent causes, imperi-
