ACurlOus Trial in Russia.

A curious trial took place the other
day in the government Of saraloh,
in Russia. Two peasants, named
Tokarslf and Kotchetkoff, were accused
of obtaining money under false pre-.
tences. Tokareff had gone from village
to village stating that he was 'the
earthly Christ" and that Kotchetkotf
was Sabbath" that he was inspired
by the Holy Ghost, and that God had
given him the power Of sentencing all
men on the day of judgment. His
white face surrounded by coal-b)ack
locks, his glittering black eyes, thin
compressed lips, humble look, AMI low,
harmonious manner of speaking are
stated to have produced an extraordi-
nary inn ression on the villagers. who
readily gave anything lie asked for to
procure exemption from punishm Mt
after death. He usually demanded a
horse and load of wheat, or 100 rou-
bles, declaring that those who made
such an Offering" to him thereby
made themselves "a ladder by which
to attain eternal life and the pardon of
all tk cir SINS One of the witnesses, a
wealthy peasant named Lochof said
that Tokaretf had told him his soul
could not be saved unless he would sell
his house, fast for nine days, and then
bring him the purchase money as an
"onering." Lochof did as he was in
structed, and placed $50 roubles, the
amount of the purch chase-money, on a
table in front of the picture OF the VIr-
gin. Tokaretf took the money, but soon
afterwards told Lochof it was not suf-
fcient, and not only induced him to
make more Offerings" but even to
give up his wife to be employed by
Tokaretf as servant. 1t also appeared
that three women lived with Tokars #
whom ne called his "spritual wives
and "mothers cf God," and an iron
chain, with the inscription, "Lord of
glory" was produced, which Iokaretl
said he had obtained. from an unknow
person." The court acquitted kotchet
kof, and sentenced Tokaretf to repay tt
his dupes the money he had received
from them, and to serve for tifteel
months in the criminal companies of the
Russian army.

Gone Idaho.

Ambrose r. McVey who resided at
No. 3l1 Il. Sth st., started on the 18TH
inst, for Boise City, Idaho, at the so
licitation of prominent mill owners and
manufacturers. His occupation is that
of wright, and by practice and
study it is said that he has achieved a
knowledge of the business second to
none in the country. Should he find
the business as represented, he expects
to make Idaho his permanent residence.
The trip to that rising State is quite a
laborious one. After leaving the cars
at Kelton, the nearest point by rail,
he will travel $50 miles by stage which
will occupy three days and two nights.

The LaAi nfIlge year.

The lecture at the Wesleyan College
on Saturday evening last terminated
the exercises of the year. President vii,
liams stated this and returned his thanks
to the young ladies of the institution
and to others who had aided in giving
to these weekly entertainments the hell
which has made them the success they
are. He said that the venture had
been highly satisfactory one, and was
one from which great amount OF gooo
had been obtained. They had always
been well attended and the interests il
them by the friends of the college had
never abated.

Yesterday Bishop Lee visited Christ
Church, in this town, and administered
the rite Of confirmation. The Bishop
preached In the morning on the ascen-
sion, and in the evening on missions.
Four persons were confirmed.
The younger members of the Kent
bar, together with the students, have
org anized themselves into an associa-
tion, and at a meeting held last night
Beniah Watson was elected president
and A. M. Gooding secretary.
It is thought that the June session OF
the Court of Errors and Appeals will be
longer than usual, as there are already
many cases docketed.
J. V. Massey, ESQ.,, has been out OF
town all this week. He and his wife
and children are visiting Oxford, Md.
There is no one who needs rest more
than Mr.. Massey.
The next fall meeting of the Dsla-
ware State Fair, to be held at Fairview
Park, will far surpass the last one

even the far fanled coursers of New
England, New York and Pennsylvania
whose records are wonders of the world
A meeting Of the newly appointed di
rec.ors will soon he held in your city.
This town is being visited by a terri
BILE fever which nearly always proves
fatal. The strange thing about th'
disease is that it is confined almost en-
tirely to the male part Of our people
Every unmarried member of this bar

er the frosts of autumn tinge the wood

ing to dose of the mitten, and eve
then they are left diseased for life.
Those who may have the privilege t
attend the balls and social hops of tn
legislature Of 1881 will look in val
for those faces which added so much
l the beauty, grace and pleasantness
i. the similar entertainments of the las

another great question. Justice asks
who killed Perry Demby' The next
question is for what was he killed 7 At
the time he INST with the misfortune
it was announced through your esti-
mable paper that he was . quiet
peaceable citizen--an inoffensive aged
man who would harm no one, going
to his home on the night Of the afore-
said misfortune. As no reason has
been assigned why he should have
been foully dealt with, we think IT
proper to ask the question, it bewilders
US to understand. Had he been cltl-
zea of a different character We should
not have any more to say in regard 10
him. When an inoffensive citizen
meets such a fate, be he black or white,
sorrow fills the heart of all humane
persons of either hue. Can we conclude
that it pays to be respectable and
peaceable we aver at that rate not
near as much as it should. We know
of no great crime that the race, to which
the man alluded to belonged, since
Wilmington was a borough, that M
should be so treated, and as we Wlsh
plainly to be understood, if he was
killed that was the county's business
and not ours. A great deal has been
said concerning the saloons In which
alcoholic liquors are sold, being the
cause of much of the crime committed
in our midst. We believe it is all
true, for we can find youths and adults
in our midst Of evil propensities lurk-
ing within, that have not the bravery
to act until crazed with the intoxica'
ting cup. We entreat them to think
seriously the authority from which
no appeal can be taken hath spoken
( Out of one blood made He all nations
that dwell upon the face of the earth
He it is that knows if Perry DembJ
was killed and who killed him, ant
should the individuals who committed
the crime not repent and receive for

when arraignef before the aforesal

READY FOE WORK.

The Auxiliary sanitary association is now
thoroughly organized and ready for work.
TIE Taxing District legislature has laid be-
fore it estimates of the amount of money
necessary to accomplish the work for which
1t was called into existence, and all that is
now needed is the money which it will cost.
This, we take it, from yesterdays sub
scriptions, can be had on demand.
The readiness with which all classes
of our citizens respond, and the earnest
ness which characterized the recent meeting
at the Theater, give hope that the committee
charged with the taking of subscriptions will
not have a difficult task. 1t is therefore fair
to conclude that before the end of the week
the necessary steps will have been taken
to initiate, for the first time in the
history of Memphis, system - Of
sanitation. The people of Memphis cannot
fail to be encouraged by a movement for the
public health accomplished so rapidly and
established upon a permanent and enduring
basis They must feel that something taARi-
ble will result and that the future of the city
80 far as it depends upon cleanliness is as
sured It is the determination OF the assoeia-
ton to see that the sanitary ordinances and
laws are enforced without fear, favor or affec-
ton, aud that nothing is left undone that can
contribute to perfect sanitation. The fret
efforts will be confined to those now in vogue
in most well-regulated cities, but, no doubt,
in the near future they will advise and aid in
the enforcement of that system which shall
afford the nearest approach 10 absolute pro-
lection from all kinds of Objectionable mat
ter. We are in a condition to initiate
sweeping reform in the matter of sanitation
there is nothing to prevent Us from adopt
ing the cremating process and of thus setting
an example that will ultimately be followed
10y all the cities in the country. Destroyed by
Gre, the ashes from the offal, garbage and ex-
creta will be found to be an excellent manure.
without auy of the objections as to smell or
talnt hat usually apply to that class of mat
ter. Fire is the only purifier, the only abso-
lutte safeguard against filth diseases. 1t will
save US from sewer-Gas and the long list Of
diseases it generates, and, we have reason to
hope, will make us almost impervious to at
tacks of yellow-feYer, cholera or smallpox.

Another Case OF incest.

PARKERsBURG, May PA case of al
legged incestuous intimacy between father
and his own daughter has come to light III
this county, about eight miles back of Belle
vile, town sixteen miles below this CITY,
shocking the community from center to CIR
conference. The name of the alleged per-
petrator is Frank Boswell, who is farmer,
and the head ofs family, consisting OF a wife
and six children. The victim is a young
girl about fifteen years of age, and is very
handsome. but evidently very ignorant. she
is now enceinte. Her condition first caused
certain parties in the neighborhood to suspect
visiting at the house, but few weeks ago a
neighbor, from various other causes and the
known desperate and wicked character
OF Boswell, came to suspect that there was
criminal intimacy between the father and his
daughter. He watched them on different
occasions, and on the fifteenth instant
caught them, as he declares in the warrant,
in fidgTante deIictO in a strip of woods near
the farmhouse. He, for some reason, post
poMed getting out the warrant for several
days, but came to this city yesterday and
swore out the warrant before Justice Davis.
Officers Stage and Beckwith took two-horse
wagon and went to Belleville last night, and,
taking several parties from that town as
guides, started for Boswells place, where
they arrived about three O'Clock this morn
ing. The house was surrounded and admit
lance demanded, when a woman from the
interior declared that he was gone. When
asked who she meant, she said: ''Mr. Bos-
we'll" The officers entered the house and
searched it-an easy job, as it was little
shanty, about fifteen by twenty, consisting of
one room and loft. The bird had flown,
and had been gone some time.
