The Outlook for 1850.

The New York Times publishes un-
der the heading, "The candidates CT
$780," reports showing the state and
tendency of public opinion through
out the union upon the choice of can
didates most likely to be made by the
Republican aud Democratic parties
for the presidential campaign of 1880.
The Introduction says: "We have in
formation from every State in the
union, gathered by more than 10
correspondents stationed at from one
to nineteen points in each State.
Each correspondent covered a large
field, Including many important GEN.
ters OF political thought and discus
sion. 1t is safe to say the thirty-two
columns Of reports which the
Times gives reflects the IOpUlir
sentiment at nearly l 600 different 10
cali,ics pretty evenly distributed over
the whole geographical extent OF the
country. The letters come from in
telligent men of both political parties,
from lawyers, editors, journalists and
trained newspaper reporters, from
college professors, from politicians,
literary and business men, from all
classes and vocaiions which give op-
I portuniiy for familiarity with cur
renrs of thought and feeling. In To-
calities where the Republican party
was known to be divided on certain
issues, either personal or otherwise

A Woman Burnt Aiiye as a Witch.

st. Petersburg Government Messenger
Early last month woman named
Agrafena fgnatieya was burned as u
witch by the peasants in the village
OF Wratshevo, in the Government or
Novgorod. 1t seems that the wretch
ed woman, who was the widow OF u
soldier. had the reputation OF being "a
sorceress aad witch, aud strove to
promote this delusion by every means
in her power. The peasants OF the
whole neighboring district had such
n dread OF her powers OF mischief
that they endeGvoied even to antici-
pate her wishes, aud, although an
absolute pauper, she lived very com
fortably on the contributions spon-
taneously Lade her. There were
many persons in the district suffering
from epilepsy, and it was popularity
believed that the witch had thus pun
ished them for offending her in some
way.
One OF the epileptic sufferers. girl
from distant village, besought some
peasants to barn the witch, and SC
release her from her sufferings. Al
an assembly OF headmen and seniors
OF the villages it was resolved 10 ex'
tinguish the source OF mischief
They proceeded to her hut, which
they found fastened up. They broke
it open, discovered the wretched
woman, charged her with the crime
aud then nailed up the window anc
door to prevent her escape. BY thi.
time over two hundred men had as

Every day on the Via Toledo. the

Naples, might have been seen an old
woman, bent under The weight of

She wore a tattered bonnet on her

small coin the passengers might
vouchsafe her. That old womau's

but who was she? No one could tell.

The other day a couple of muncipal
guards laid hands on her, and, bnud-

the Mendicant's Home. One or the
female attendants stripped her, AMI

This is not true. They have re-
duced the county treasures in salary
$500, and increased his fees in de-
liEquents l per cent. thus not only
making up the $500 in another way,
but in the larger counties addiGg
several hundreds more to it-in Mar
ion county not less than $500. Thus.
instead Of saving TO the counties SIS,
400 by reduction of 5000 from the
ueasurers' salary, the legislature has
actually given them $4,000 more than
they now get under the old fee bill.
Auditors in counties OF Is 900 inhabi-

and under 10000 the salary is not
only left at the old figure. but $l25 are
added for each additional 1000, in
creasing the salary fully 10 per cent.
But it is III counties havidg 20,000 in

expense is rolled up. Ia these audi
tors are allowed an additional 500

ion the auditor of Marion county will

raised in others, while d dozen OF
more important items are allowed
