LONDON, April 3O.-In the house of.
commons to-day Sir Robert Peel COM
planned that there was no minister
present to answer his question relating
to recent events in Russia, of which
he had given notice publicly yesterday.
He also complained that the speaker
had altered the wording of the ques-
ton.
Thespeaker explained that the ques-
toni n the form submitted being argu-
mentative could not be put and it
must be raised in the form Of a mo-
ton.
Mr.. O'GOrman Waterford City,
said the absence of the minister when
notice had been given of the question
to which he should reply, was disre-
spectful to the house. The subject
was then dropped.

ST. PETERSBURG, April Boa
great fire occurred in the city of Or
enburg, on the Ural river, Monday
and Tuesday last, destroying the prin-
cipal part. The loss is enormous.
More than half the population are
destitute Of food and shelter. A
number of persons were injured.
A dispatch from the governor of
Orenburg to the minister of the inte-
riOr says A violent storm assisted in
spreading the flames, and Monday
night the best quarters of the town
were in ashes. Among the buildings
destroyed were two churches, the ar
tillery barracks, town hall, engine
headquarters, auction mart, telegraph
station, seminary for teachers, custom
house, central Office and district mill
tary ourt-house.
The public funds and a greater part
of the official archieves were saved.
The loss to the inhabitants was enor-
nous. Persons suffering from burns
and other injuries are being tended in
barracks outside Of town and in the
summer gymnasium. The governor
Of Samara has been telegraphed for a
supply Of bread.
Measures have been taken in neigh
boring villages to relieve the distress
of the sufferers. The number, how
ever, is so great that local resources
will fall far short of what is required.
The governor appeals to the minis
ter for speedy pecuniary assistance.
No riots or excuses occurred during
the conhagration. A large number of
government officials were among the
injured. The minister of the interior
sent 100000 roubles to the sufferers.

The New CaIedonio of Rusqig

A st. Petersburg correspondent
writes: Five Russian Nihilists con-
cerned in the recent discovery of the
printing presses at st. Petersburg have
been banished to the Island of Sagha-

to become the New Caledonia of Rus
STA. All of these were officers in the
Imperial Guards. and one only was
below the rank Of captain. The pris-
Oners were removed from the fortress
of st. Peter and Paul last Sunday at
midnight, each having a covered
vehicle to himself and each being
guarded by three gendacmes armed
with sabres and revolvers. 1t will

General Jim Brownlow, who died
Saturday, elsewhere noticed. was one
the kindest-hearted men Of the age.
He was the soul of honor, and his
affection knew no bounds. His con-
slant wish since the death Of his wife
in May last, was to die and rejoin her.
During the war he endeared himself
TO all with whom he came in contact.
whether friend or foe. Indeed, to a
non-combatant he was no foe. At
one time, when the family of the
writer was within the lines of General
Steadman's command and they were
stripped Of everything, an appeal
to Jim brought such assistance as
no n else could have given. He
refilled the larder, had corn and hay
brought and thrown into the barn,
and to more effectually screen them
made the house his Headquarters. No
n dared modest them while Jim was
around or absent. He so endeared
himself to the family, that it sprung
an affection as durable as life itself.
Gallant, chiyalrous and noble, he lived
for others, and the greatest happiness
he had was TO confer a favor. If the
world had more men in it ike Jim
Brownlow, there would be more peace
aud charity in it than is to be seen
now. Il Nashville Banner, 18th.

and calling each other names. Que final

were about TO grappIe when a woman
opened the door and said:
Gentlemen, are you about to fight?
1--WE are - they answered together.
"Then have the kindness to wait mo
ment," she continued. my poor hus-
band has been sick FOR weeks and weeks,
and is now just able to sit up. He is very
down hearted this morning, and if you'll
only wait till I can draw him up to the
window l know he will be grateful to both

Be not puffed up at any time. Turn
over thy books again. Judge justly.
Forbear bad language. Overcome thy
parents with forbearance Cast not off an
inferior. Throw not thyse'f headIong
into danger. Love thy friends things and
preserve them as if they were thine own.
Do not to another man that which thou
hatest. Threaten no one, for that is a
womanish thing. Go sooner to thy
friends that are in misery than to them
that are 10 prosperity. A stone is the
tree Of gold and gold of men. A liar de-
praveth his life with slander. Whosoever
is discreet and wise hateth liars. Have a
care of thy house. Instruct children that
are most dear to thee. Do good to good
men. Throw away suspicion. Rsmem-
Der a courtesy received. Do not coyet
other mems things. Nothing is more
precious than Czeo6ulus Of
Lsndus.
