A Woman Burnt Alive as q
Witch.

st. Petersburg Government Message.l
Early last month a woman named
Agrafena Ignatjeva, was burned as a
witch by the peasants in the village of
Wratshevo, in the government Of
Noygorod. 1t seems that the wretched
woman. who was the widow of a sol
der, had the reputation of being a
.sOrceress and witch, and strove to
promote this delusion by every means
in her power. The peasants of the
whole neighbOring district had such q
dread of her powers of mischief that
they endeavored even to anticipate
her wishes, and although an absolute
pauper, she lived very comfortably on
the contributions spontaneously made
to her. There were many persons in
the district suffering from epilepsy.
and it was popularity believed that the
witch had thus punished them for
offending her in some way.
One Of these e%pileptic sufferers, a
girl from a distant village, besought
some peasants to burn the witch, and
so release her from her sufferings. AT
an assembly of headmen and seniors
of the villages it was resolved to ex.
tinquish the source of mischief. They
proceeded to her hut, which they
found fastened up. They broke il
open, discovered the wretched wo.
man, charged her with the crime, and
then nailed up the window and door
to prevent her escape. By this time
over two hundred men had assembled
around the hut, and amid their ieer,
and shouts of exultation it was set or
fire, and the whole crowd remained
until it was quite consumed. The
sum Of q roubles and 80 copeckt
(ncarly $16,5W was collected and of.
fcred to the rural policeman as a bribt
to secure his silence. But he rejected
it, and so this terrible crime came t
light.

BEECHER's POSITION.
How Il has Been Affected by the Scan.
dal In Which He Figured.
Ncw York LeLlcr . cin. commereIal.l

New York Letter to Gin. Commercially
What has been the effect of the
great scandal upon Henry Ward
Beccher's daily life and work? There
is no difference to be detected in and
around Plymouth Church, save that
he exhibits less of that exuberance of
spirit which wellod out of every line
Of his c%ountenance and every word of
his mouth, and which was responded
to and assisted by his arms, his body
and his legs. His congregations are
greater than ever. His flock is SEEM
ingly as much devoted to him and
fascinated by his words. His pews
sold lately for about the same as the
average of fifteen years back, save, of
course, the one year when $4,000
was raised for him. His mission
schools are prosperous, his Sunday
school is overlooking. The people of
Brooklyn talk no more about the
scandal. Tilton has gone to New
York. Moulton has taken up his
abode in another city. Mrs. Tilton is
in seclusion in Williamsburg. Beech
er keeps on with his church work the
same as ever.
But outside of Plymouth church
and BROOKLYN All there the effect
of the scandal crops out. Mr.. Beech
er is no longer the public mar that he
was. The time was when he made
the chief speech at the annual New
England dinner-and what a speech it
was! bubbling with wit, sparkling
with humor, noble for its eloquence,
admired for its sentiment-a perfect
speech. Since the scandal broke, Mr..
Beeeher has not been invited to the
New England dinner. He speaks no
more at banquet boards, at college
commencements, at church dcdica-
tons and statesmen's funerals. He
does not seek these things, his friends
say. They are not offered to him, re-
ply his enemies. No longer does he
discuss from Plymouth pulpit the
vital political questions of the day.
Some remarks on the Chinese problem
uttered in a lecture have been quoted
recently. But it is now more than o
year since any word of his has at
tracted public attention, and hen he
was unsupported in an incidental ref
erence to the labor question it was
the first for more than a year before
that time. 1t looks to those who dis.
interestedly watch him as though Mr.,
Beeeher is endeavoring to attract as
little public attention as possible, and
that he is endeavoring to give Ply
mouth church the very best work Of
which he is capable, and it is quite
likely that the public and Plymouth
church are satisfied that he should
do SO.

How Old is the World:
London Academy

London Academy
Biologists. astronomers and ply
sicists alike have hitherto been baf-
fed in their attempts to set up any
satisfactory kind of c%hronometer
which will approximately measure
geological time, and thus give us some
clew to the antiquity of our globe. 1t
is therefore worth noting that Mr..
Mellard Reade, of Liverpool, has
lately contributed to the Royal SOci-
ETY. a very suggestive paper, in which
he endeavors to grapple with the
question by employing the limestone
rocks of the earth's crust as an index
of geological time. LimestOnes have
been in the course Of formation from
the earliest known geological periods,
but it would appear that the later
formed strata are more calcareous
than the earlier, and that there has, in
fact, been a gradually progressive in
crease of c%aleareOus matter. The very
extensive deposition of carbonate of
lime over wide areas of the ocean
bottom at the present day is sufficient
" attested by the recent soundings of
the Challenger. According to the
authors estimate, the sedimentary
crust of the earth is at least one mile
in average actual thickness, of which
probably one-tenth consists of cal
careous matter. In seeking the origin
of this ealcareous matter, it Is
assumed that the primitive rocks of
the original crust were Of the nature of
granite of basalticr rocks. Blythe disin-
tegration of such rocks, %calcareOus and
other sedimentary deposits have been
formed. The amount Of lime-salts in
waters which drain districts made up
of GRANTEES and basalts is found, by a
comparison of analyses, to be on an
average about 3.I3 parts IN 100000
parts of water. 1t is further assumed
that the exposed areas of igneous
rocks, taking an average throughout
all geological time, will bear to the
exposures Of s~edimentary rocks a ratio
of about one to nine. From these and
other data Mr.. Readc concludes that
the elimination of the calcareOus mat
ter now found in all the se~dimentary
strata must have occupied at least
600,000,000 Of years. This, therefore,
represents the minimum age of the
world. The author infers that the
formation Of the Laurentian, Cam
brian and Silurian strata must have
occupied about 2O0,0O0.0 900 of years ;
the old red sandstone, the ~carbOnifer-
Gus, and the pOikilitic systems, an
other 200, 0O0, 600; and all the other
strata, the remaining 200, 0O0, 900. Mr..
Reade is, therefore, lead to believe
that geological time has been enor-
meusly in excess Of the limits urged
by certain physicists and that 1t has
been ample to allow for all the changes
which on the hypotesis Of evolution
have occurred in the organic world.

MAGNIFICENT GEMS.
The levels Worn at the Wedding o
the Duke Of COHnaught.

London Cor. New York WOrld.l
AS to the impression which the chief
ladies made on the spectators in the
scene last Thursday, | am told that
some little disappointment was crea-
ted. The bride, indeed, has been
more or less known to us all for weeks
past by means of excellent photo
graphs, and these show that she has a
sweet and winning face, and although
on the day of her wedding she was
very pale, yet her appearance pleased
everybody. But some people say that
the bridesmaids were not so pretty as
they ought to have been, on which ex-
tremely delicate point | will not ven
ture to express an opinion. There
was one lady there whose fair face
attracts never-hiling admiration
wherever it is seen-the Prin-
cess of Wales, as beautiful as
on the day when she stood at the
same altar sixteen years ago. There
were also some very handsome ladies
present who were of noble, though.
not of royal blood, and the brave dis
play of costumes and jewels which
they made a%ssuredly could not be
eclipsed. If | had been allowed to
select a little eadeau from among the
countless gems which made the old
chapel glitter, | would not have pre-
sumed to have touched the hem of a
lady's garment, but merely begged for
the turban of the Maharaiah Dhuleep-
Singh, in which there was an emerald
about the size of a William peer. l
recollect seeing a still larger one in
India on the robe of a boy Rajah, the
said robe being so stiff with jewels
that if placed in the middle of the
floor it would have stood upright with
out anybody inside of it. A hole had
been drilled through the middle OF
some of these jewels to allow Of
their being sown on the brocaded
robe. One Of this young Rajah's
followers gave me a stick, the head
of which was cut into the shape
of a tigers head, with two rubies for
eyes and an emerald by way of mouth.
But, alas, these stones were apparently
not intended to match those on the
Rajah's robe, and although l have
never had the stick valued | shall run
little risk by offering to transfer it to
the gentle reader for a fvc-dollar
g~rcenback, if he has such a thing in
bis possession and does not 60 in ex-
clusively for gold. But | will not
answer for it that he Will not repent
the bargain. The Maharajah Dhuleer
Singh made as good a show of dia.
monds and emeralds as an Indian
prince need wish to do, and his wife
must have been worth a couple Of
hundred thousand pounds to any dia.
mond dealer. What, however, are all
these compared with the Koh-i.noor
which the queen always wears on such
occasions, and which, you will recol.
lect, once belonged to the present
Maharaiah's father, Runjeet Singh?
