VOLCANIC RUSSIA.

The following from the New York
World serves to Illustrate in a
striking manner the volcanic state
of the whole Russian empire. Even
Siberia, it seems, is no longer safe
Siberia, which has so long been used
as a sort of safety-valve through
which anything like political agfta-
ton could be carried off from the
civilized portions of the empire
Siberia itself is becoming the field
of a dangerous political agitation,
and can no longer be used as a place
of deportation for political offenders,
who must be sent to Saghalien
Island for safe keeping in vessels

AN immense Gar pike is on exhi-
bition at Roth's window. He IS
over five feet long. Cars of that size
do not often condescend to honorary
stream smaller than the Mississippi.
This gentleman came into the,Ohie
with the back-wateT during the late
rise and failed to secure his retreat.
This curious fish is the sole surviv-
ing species of a great genus, which
was once diffused over the habit
able globe. He seems to form a con-
Meeting link between the fish and
the amphibious reptiles, such as the
crocodiles and alligators; his swim
ming bladder is much more elab-
crate organ than that of most fishes,
and is nearer analogous with the
lungs of the turtles and alligat0rs.
According to the Darwinian theory,
the extinct species of the genus are
not properly extinct, but have been
developed into the amphibious be
ings above mentioned, or perhaps
into the great saurian reptiles of ge
illogical ages, themselves also ex
tinct in the present day. To come
down to the present time, the gar is
altogether worthless for food. The
Mississippi boatmen have a saying
when they want to denounced man
that che is as mean as gar-broth.
Visitors need not be afraid of get
ting gar-broth, however, at Rotil's
where everything on the table is o
the very best material that the mar
ket supplies, and cooked by an art
ist who would gladden. the palate 0

of the "chtcks,, at st. Lonls

foI. LOUIS SunudN.
TheIron Mountain railroad train
which bowled into the Union depot
at $50 yesterday morning, had on
board the famous ChickasaWG Guards,
who had come direct from their en-
campment at GAINESVILLE, Tenn.
They were received at the depot by
the st. Louis Cadets, who escorted
the gallant company to the Laclede
Hotel, where a good breakfast had
been prepared for them. From the
hotel they went to the Fair grounds,
where they pitched their tents and
will remain encamped through the
Fair time. The company was in
charge of Capt. S. Il. Carnes and
Lieuts. Camp, Allen and Clapp.
They still bear about them the same
esprit de corps and general gOod-na-
tured way, which made them such
prime taVOriteS here during their
last visit. They have been in ac-
tive service ever since the fever
fiend took possession of their home,
and will, for this reason, prove for
midabIe companies. Memphians
quartered in st Louis express conf
dence in their sixty men, and eX-
pect them to carry away the first
prize for company drill. All the st.
Louis volunteers want to see the
Chicks win, although of course they
will do all in their power to avert
defeat at the hands of the South
erners.

Warming 30 Refugees.

The following warning to refugees
has been published in the Memphis
papers
Frequent applications being made
to the Board of Health and Super
intendent of Quarantine by absen-
tees from here to return, we deem
it best to make this public announce
ment, that though the number of
new cases of yellow fever and deaths
are small and perceptibly on the de-
cline, it would not be safe for those
who have not yet had the disease to
return vet. The comparatively
small number of new cases and
deaths is due to the fact that there
are so few unacclimated people here.
Those who have had the fever, and
wish to return, will be permitted to
do so. and will be furnished a GER
tifcate to that effect on application
to the Superintendent of Quaran-
tine. None others will be permitted
to enter Memphis before it is Off
cially announced by the Board of
Health that it is thought there is no
longer danger from the infection,
which will be done at the earliest
possible day.

behind his ticket, Gov. Robinson Is re-elect-

could hardly be higher tribute TO his in
tegrity than the fact that the Tammany
faction is ready TO bolt sooner than accept
him.
Meantime Kelly has no friends
left except some stalwart Radicals

est of Cornell. New York may yet

licans can shake off Conkliug and

Asbury Circuit.

This pastoral charge is in better
condition than it ever has been since
1 knew it. Chaos is being reduced
TO order, the lines are becoming
more and more distinct between
true and false Church members,
many dead-weights have been dis
pensed with, and the necessity for
the full recognition of all religious
obligations is more clearly per-
ceived by the well-disposed. The
introduction of measures to bring
about some of these results caused
commotion, of course, and alarmed
the Belshazzars, but who has not
learned that healthful reforms are
always attended by such things !?
To purify the Church, implant cor
rect principles, and give systematic
shape to the work constitute the
goal toward which press. Getting
up "big meetings." floating on the
popular current and taking up all
the collections are accounted the
surest token of success by many in
high and low places, but these things
though good enough of themselves,
are but the glitter of prosperity. The
foundation of a pastoral charge must
be of more solid stuff than this if it
would endure.
In carrying out the programme
which we regard most favorably, it
is gratifying to report that our labors
have been rewarded with goodly
number of conversions and aces
sions to the Church, and that the
/ financial condition of the charge has
undergone some improvement, al
belt the best paying Society former
ly belonging to it was taken from ii
just before our pastorate began here.
Whether the pastor has given gen.
eral satisfaction or not is a matter
into which he does not condescend
to inquire.
The work of consolidating Church
es, so long and so much needed, has
at last been begun, and most auspi-
ciously, think. By the unanimous
vote of the Quarterly Conference il
was agreed to consolidate Carmel
and Mt. Pleasant Churches, which
but opens the way to speedy read
lustment of the entire circuit where
the general good requires.

Mr.. Charles A. Holmes says in the

He ate there bowl of cream (so-calied

when picked, he sent them In, with a

put them into jar, which she left uu-

parrots cage was standing near, having
been brought down to be cleaned. and
when the cook left the kitchen to See

soon found her way to the jar, from which
she helped herself literally, scattering
remnants on the floor and on the bottom

The Speakers Room.

The Speaker of the House has to keep
sort of hollow log to which he can re-
treat from the throng Of struggling leg
islators before him. An important place
the Speakers room is. Possibly not half
of those familiar with capitol know where
it is. Not the Speakers room down in
the guide -books-a big, tile-foored, we'll
windowed reception room just back of
the chamber in which the House sits.
That room is currently known as the
Speakers room, but the Speaker never
sees any one there whom he wants to see.
1t is too open and accessible by half. The
conferences which the, Speaker has at
which any thing is done are not held in
this marble walled saloon. It is little
closet in dark entry below the hall. 1t
is hard-by private staircase. The glazed
door is screened by green baize. There
is not the sign of name or note on the
door, and it is one Of the few doors un-
marked in the capitol. The corridor has
no light, and on cloudy day is quite
dark.
Once inside, you see a room partly
covered by carpet partly ragged. The
window-there is only one-is screened
IN some cneap way Ihere Is room tor a
struggling table, one lounge and three
chairs. There is room for nothing else.

cant of the publicity of public life, when
1t is unfenced by class-rank, that it is
only in some such coal-hole that he can
get time to work. Unless he hides HIM
self, so many people have right to see
him that his whole time runs to waste.
It is in this little hole in the wall that
three Speakers, Colfax, Blaine and
Randall, have done the real work of leg-
islation. Speaking guardedly, l fancy
more of the business of governing is done
in that room than in any other one room

Rules for Home Education.

/. From your children's earliest in
fancy, inculcate the necessity of instant
obedience. ,~~,..
2. Unite frmness with gentleness.
Let your children always understand that
you mean what you say.
3. Never promise them anything un.
less you are quite sure you can give them
what you say
4. Ifyou tell little child to do some
thing, show him how to do it, and see
that it is done.
5. Always punish your children for
wilfully disobeying you, but never pun
ish them in anger.
6. Never let them perceive that they
vex you, or make you lcse your self
command.
7. If they give way to petulence or
ill-temper, wait till they are calm, ana
then gently reason with them on the i'm
propriety of their conduct.
8. Remember that little present
punishment when the occasion arises is
much more efectual than the threaten
ing of greater punishment should the
fault be renewed.
9. Never give your children anything
because they cry Tor it.
10. On no account allow them to do
at one time what you have forbidden,
under the same circumstances, at an
other.
IL. Teach them that the only sure
and easy way to appear good is to be
good.
12. Accustom them to make their
little reeitals with perfect truth.
13. Never allow tale-bearing.
IA. Teach them self denial, not self
indulgence of an angry and resentful
spirit.--Home Illustrated.

Lively Connecticut Cider.

A Norwich man put up twelve bottles
OF cider. against the no-license law, this
season, and when he went down cellar to
get bottle for friend, the other night,
be found that five of them had burst. He
picked up souud one and returned
above stairs. He held the bottle at an
angle of So 10 degrees north latitude,
between his knees, and cut the wires that
igirt the cork. There was flash and a
Sreport, and the cork struck the northern
brink of his wife's ear, while the entire
pint of cider, making nearly as good time
as the cork, struck the expectant friend
friend full in the mouth. Never having
accustomed himself to drinking cider in
this way, that is, on the fly, he reminded
the detected possessor of the bottle that
he had been able to get only smell of
the liquor, and advised him to open an
other bottle. The request was complied
with, and the host brought up another
bottle, and in order to avoid accidents and
also save the cider, he turned the neck of
the bottle into a pitcher before he cut the
wires. Then he served the cords in the
presence of small but highly apprecia-
tive and attentive audience. The second
vancouver, as far as getting the cider out
of'the bottle and into the pitcher was con-
cerned, was complete success, but the
