SThe seventies now being employ
ed against the Russian students are Gu
rious reproduction of those which char
acterizcd the iron rule of Frederick the
Great. The latter expressly forbade all
Prnssian subjects to study at any uni
versity beyond the boundaries of the
Kingdom, any attempt at dsobedience
being punished with fine, imprisonment
sad loss of State rights. Among a class
thus treated, theories of instruction and
Tegicido naturally developed themselves
in d manner which, on one occasion, was
within q hairs breadth of changing the
history of Eruope. During tho Austrian
campaign of 1909, young German stu
dent named Stamps, the son of an Erfurt
clergyman, begged an audience of Napo-
loon, saying that he wished to present q
petition to him. Gen. Rapp, to whom he
addressed himself, noticed that he held
the paper in his left hand, keeping his
right hidden in the breast of his coat.
Suspecting mischief, the general had HIM
seized and searched. when large sheath
knife was found upon his person. Being
taxed with his intended Crime by the
Emperor himself, the youth boldly avow-
ed it, declaring, that he had willingly
offered his life to insure the destruction
of his country's onemy, and that were he
SCI at liberty, his first act should be to
repeat the attempt. He was shot two
days later, dying with an mistaken
tirmness which extorted the admiration
of the French Marshals themselves.-N

HON. JEFFERSON DAVIS.-There is con-
siderable discussion going on among the
papers of Mississippi in reference to the
choice of Hon. Jefferson Davis to the
United States Senate to succeed Bruce.
The maj orty seem to oppose. While we
have not taken ground in the discussion,
we would like to see all the opposers can
say. From our stand point it seems to us
that Mr.. Davis was but our representa-
tive, and by the people placed where he
necessarily risked, suffered and lost more
than any other, he did nothing to forfeit
tho confidence of our people, he was
their delight in years ante-bellum, and
we venture if he was placed before the
people of the State fairly, they would
still delight to trust and honor him. lie
is statesman of experience and learn
ing, and was so acknowledged by all, and
it would be no reproach to the State
again to be represented by him, toEgive
him an opportunity of still guarding the
interests of his State, and vindicating
himself. Let the honored old man be in
tho place of trust and honor still.-Mag-

the FELICIANA SENTINEL.
ROBSON AND HIS PLUMBER.

Tho veil which covered Robeson's ad-
ADMINISTRATION has long since been removed.
He was for eight years Secretary of the
Navy, and in this period expended mon
ey to the extent of $1S2,49G,O3 At the
same time he sold material to the amount
of $1U0,000,000. This makes together,
in round numbers, $3.50, 100000, or moro
than $50, 100000, year. When Secreta-
~ Thompson entered the Office its inven-
tory stood as follows: a. A debt, justified
by no law whatever, amounting to ST.
0S3, 400; b. Forty-cight permanently use
less ships, carrying ga guns: c. Two
inferior sailing ships, with 8 guns: d.
Twenty-four temporarily useless ships,
carrying 2o9 guns; c. Forty-th use
full ships, with 22a gnns. Out of III
ships, there were but 43, and out of SO57
guns, only 223, that could be used.
These figures are by no means invented.
ley rest upon facts which Mr.. Thomp-
son. himselfa Republican, has confirmed.
Thus, in the eight years of Robeson's adj
lninistratian, the money of the people
was squandered IN the basest manner.
During this time an army Of officials
ana contractors We're fattening in the
Navy Department upon the sweat of the
people. Materials for ship-building,
which, according to the testimony of ex-
ports, would have brought to any bust
ness man S20,00O,OOO, were disposed of
for less than $4,000, 600. Over 100000
were employed in the building Of new
men-oEwar, and from this sum sixty to
seventy men-ofwar might have been
furnished; but tho great part of the
money found its way into the pockets
of greedy favorites of the Secretary.
In the purchase OF materials and new
engines the highest war prices were paid;
in the sale of superfuous articles prices
ridiculously low were taken. One man
bought from tho Navy Department. the
ship Delaware for $5175, and nade by
turning his hand over, out of the same
ship, $685. 900. So from one year to another
the business was carried on until nearly
S2OO,oOO,OOO and q navy also had been
lost. a number of laws of Congress,
enacted to govern the business of the
Navy Department, were violated in a
Hagrant manner. Corruption and ille-
galty went hand in hand without pun
ishment.--Staats-Zcitn

A BEGGING STORY.

A touching begging story,
with good moral, is told by
the Pittsburg Telegraph. A
young man who had been on
three days debauch wander
ed into the reading-room of a
hotel, where he was we'll
known, sat down, and stared
moody into the street. Pres
emily a little girl Of about ten
years came in and looked tim
idly about the room. She was
dressed in rags, but she had a
sweet. intelligent face that
could scarcely fail to excite
sympathy. There were five
persons in the room, and she
went to each begging. One
gentleman gave her fve>cent
piece: and she then went to
the gentleman spoken Of and
asked him for a penny, adding:
L haven't had anything to eat
for a whole day. The gentle
man was out Of humor, and he
said GROSSLY; Don't bother
me; go away! I haven't had
anything to eat for three days.
The child opened her eyes in
shy wonder and stared at him
for a moment, and then walk
ed slowly toward the door.
She turned the knob, and
then after hesitating a few
seconds, walked up to him,
and, gently laying the five
cents she had received on his
knee, said with a tone Of true
girlish pity in her voice: If you
haven't had anything to eat
for three days, you take this
and go and buy some bread.
Perhaps | can get some more
somewhere The young fel-
low blushed to the roots Of his
hair, and lifting the Sister of
Charity in his arms, kissed
her two or three times in de-
light. Then be took her to the
persons in the room, and to
those in the corridors and the
Office, and told them the story,
and asked contributions, Civ
ing himself all the money he
had with him. He succeeded
in raising over $40, and sent
the little one on her way re-
iOicing,

THE TERRIBLE SCIENCE.
[London Observer.1

London Observer.l ,a.....
Tho possibilities of chemistry are nj.
most too terrible to be Contemplated.
AS tho science at present stands, any
student can, if he have access to we'll
stored laboratory, carry away in a pill
box matter sufficient to lay London in
ruins, Or to poison the whole commu-
nifty OF Its inhabitants. The chemist
can, as every school-boy knows, con-
vert water into ice in the centre of a
red hot crucible. He can construct a
smell the size Of cricket ball which
expiodes the moment it touches the
water and overwhelm in flames a hos
tile heet. Indeed, the chemist reduces
the world to its original and primal
elements. For him, even more than
the engineer, nothing Is Impossible.
and yet his power, vast as it is. Is
limited. He can more easily DESTROY
than construct. He can take life, but
he can not give 1t. He can level the
city with the plain, but he can not
build it up again. He can create
Prussic acid, but he is ignorant of its
antidote. He is like the fisherman who

Bismarck now has his eye on the
island of Heligoland, in the North Sea,
and is about to begin negotiations with
Disraeli for its cession to Prussia. The
island itself is worthless, but it is
strongly fortified and near the mouths
OF important German ports. It is re-
garded in England as second in strategic
value only to Gibraltar, and there is
no likelihood of the German Chancellor
making the purchase. Disraeli would
at once forfeit his popularity by listen
ing to the scheme.

a SWELL MoHAMAEDAN WEDDING.
The Marriage of the Fifth Son of the
Khcdive of Egypt. -

from inc AOnOOn llmO8sJ
ALEXANDRIA, Jan. 14.-To-day 1t is
great Mohammedan wedding. NAH
mould Hamdi Bey, the fifth son of the
daughter of Edhami Pasha, a son of
Abbas Pasha, son of Mehemet ALI, and
Viceroy of Egypt from 1s4S to 1854.
Prince Tewflk, the heir apparent to the
throne, is married to q sister of the
bride, and Prince Ibrahim, now at
WooIwich, is betroth to another sister.
Certainly the viceregal family are obe-
dient to the behests of their religion,
which declare marriage apositive duty.
" Art thou married Pr asked the pro-
phet of one of his followers. sc No."
replied the man. uAnd art thou sound
and healthyT ~ Yes" said the other.
+" Then," declared the prophet, "thou
art one of the brothers Of the devil.'
But the devil has not many brothers In
Mohammedan country, as every man
of any position has his harem. Four
wives are the limit, and the facility of
divorce is so great that rich men do
not at all shrink from the dangers OF
this quadruple alliance. Alec, the
companion Of the prophet, is said to
have married aud divorced 200 wives
and a certain old dyer of Bagdad has
come down In history as a man who
had been married 800 times.
Prince Mahmoud, who bad been be.
tr0thed for some time, was married on
a Thursday-the lucky day of the week.
All tho old ceremonies were gone
through, and Cairo took a deep interest
in all the proceedings. There Is nc
religious rite, and the principal parties
do not meet until all preliminarles are
over. The Zeffeh, or procession of the
bride, was performed by her in due
form through the streets of Cairo, which
she Promenaded In gorgeous attire,
carefully yelled and shut up in a broug-
ham. Infantry and cavalry, with mar
tial bands, preceded her, and she was
followed by crowds of female friends
and harem slaves, by whom she was
finally conducted to her husbands
palace in the Ismailich quarter.
The bridegroom, meanwhile, after
dining with his father at Abdin Palace.
was escorted by his male friends to the
adjoining mosque, where n solemn
prayer was performed. From the
mosque, as the sun went down, he and
his party marched on foot in procession
through the whole city. All the
Princes, Nubar Pasha, Abdel Kader
Pasha, Shahin Pasha, and crowds of
other pashas and beys were of the party,
and many of the stout dignitaries were
exhausted by the fatigue of such a |
formidable pedestrian trip. Soldiers
escorted the procession, attendants car
ricd numbers of lanterns, and the |
streets were densely crowded by natives
eager to SEQ tho sight. -a'.'ll,
The crowd of friends parted with the
bridegroom at the foot of tho staircase
OF his palace, when his brother IIassan
gave him the customary blow on the
back which signifies farewell to bache-
Tor life, and he was then Left alone to
rescue his wife from her female attend
ants and see her face for the first time
in his life.
