The Russian secret societies which announced
their determination to aSsasslnate the subord-
nate officers OF the. Car seem TO have forgotten
the assurance which they gave In the same con-
nectton tha the Car himself should be spared
The Car has now escaped safely from the third
attempt upon his life, but the fact that he has
passed the number popularity considered fatal,
VIII hardly reassure him In respect to the TT
ture. The social condition OF Russia may rea-
sonably give uneasineSS to It's rulers. The re-
volt against despotism is net confined to the
lower classes, as has frequently been the case
In other domestic Hprisings. Indeed, the revo-
lufionarx splrit is strongest and finds those
1h6st willing to die in its behalf among the more
cultured classes. These feel their subservience
more keenly than the peasantry who, compare
lively speaking, bear oppression with indifrer-
ence. As long as hate of the present cruel
despotism Is mainly confined TO the fragments
of the middle class, no other opposition to the
government than is, Indicated by frequent at
tempts to assassinate those in power can be ex-
pected It will not be until the fl me spreads
among the lower classes that there viii be a
Russian revolution on as vast scale and with
the same characteristics as the French reyolu-
ton

The signs of rebellion against the nomination
OF Grant manifested by such papers as the New
York Post and Harper's Weekiy (edttortally not
pictoraly) have their counterpart In the hostlli-
ty to the candidacy OF Tilden displayed by lead
Ing democratic papers like the New York World
That paper commences its leading editorial to-
day by saytng:-'Perhaps the most sinister of
many sinister political phenomena of the day Is
the open activity with which the candidacy of
Mr.. Tilden On one side and the candidacy of
Gen. Grant on the other side for the office of
President OF the United States are pushed for

John Kelly has scored point against TIlden
by getting reversal by the court, OF the decf-
sion confirming the injunction issued by Judge
Barrett to restrain The Tammany Society from
initiating 143 new members elected last New
Years eve. The Injunction had been granted
on the prayer OF the anti Tammany leaders,
who hoped to defeat the present sachems at the
election which takes place this month. The
neWly-elected members were adherents Of John
Kelly, and the object of the tDjunctionists was
to prevent them from being initiated in season
to vote this year.

The ''eminent citizen Just returned from
Europe, who has seen Grant and has been made
the sole repository of the secret that he will not
be candidate for the presidency" Is catching
1t all along the line from the stalwart papers OF
the Grant persuasion. The st. Louis Globe
Democrat, for instance, Is moved to admonish
''the kindly idiots who protest against drag

MINISTERIAL SIMPLIoITY.-Perhaps the worst and most mischievous of hobby-rid ministers is he who makes a hobby of some real or fancied personal trait of his own. I knew minister, who was once complimented by some very soft and spooney young ladies' they were not so very young either-on his simplicity. From that time he cultivated
 simplicity in and out of the pulpit, and culi- vated simplicity is very likely to degenerate into what on the outside looks very like im- becility. The truly simple minister is simple in the childlkeness that Christ commends. No child ever thinks of acting the part of a child. They are childlike because they think nothing about their being children. This man was simple because he was vain. He was the Reverend Cream Cheese churned into butter, he was so concentratedly simple. His conver- sation was prattle and his sermons babble. He was so lamb-like that he gambolled away his diaconate, and in his priesthood turned out what all lambs turned out if they escape the butcher To this day he goes from parish to parish dealing out intellectual baby talk, not because he thinks the people. will like baby talk but because he is so simple. Ionce heard this man address some children-and he spoke as follows: s'I love the pretty little stars because they twinkle so. Do you know what makes the stars twinkle? don't Maybe we all shall know some day what makes the stars twinkle so. Would you like to know? I should. Perhaps the good people who have died and gone to heaven know why the stars twinkle so They must be very happy to know why the stars twinkle so. You must ask God to help you to be good children, and then you will some day be with those good people and will know why the pretty little stars twinkle so. You must think of this when you look at the stars. Do you know that pretty little song beginning Twinkle, twinkle" etc. There was ever so much more, and the children looked sleepy and disgusted before my friends fountain of simplicity had half run out.-W.
