VOltaire's Remains.

Mr.. Stewards remains can hardly
have a more checkered career than
those of a very different celebrity-Vol-
taire. When he died at Paris in May,
1873, the Church there refused scepul-
ture to its a~rch.enemy, and his body
was inferred at Scellicres, in Cham
payne: During the revolution the Ma
tional Assembly dccreed that Voltairc's
remains should be brought TO Paris, and
they were accordingly deposited in the
Pantheon with great pomp, in 1871.
Tbither, too, presently came the body
of Rousseau. One dark night in May,
1914, when the Bourbons were enjoying
their own again, some OF the faithful,
indie nant that the bones Of such enc
mics Z religion should rest in conse.
Grated ground, threw them pell nell in
to a sack, and carried them to n point
in the suburbs near Bercy, where there
was q large vacan lot belonging to the
city. Here a hole had been already
dug, and the contents Of the sack were
shaken into il and covered with quick
lime. The hole was then filed in, and
the conspirators trampled down the
earth. Voltaire's heart had been saved
by a friend, in whose family it remained
until 1864. On its then being offered 10
the Government, Napoleon III. decided
that it should be placed with the body.
On consulting the Archbishop Of Paris,
that functionary suggested the expo
diency OF verifying the actual presence
of Voltaire's remsins. An investigation
followed, and the truth came out The
heart was then placed in the National
Library, and a portion Of the brain APP
p~ropriated by the surgeons at the au-
topsy was publicly sold. Its present
whereabouts is unknown.-NeU York

An Ancient City.

Ayodhya is one of the sacred cities of
India in the province of Dude. and is
the cradle of the Hindoo and Buddhist
faiths. Three thousand years ago it
was in its glory, but it is now consider
ably run down. Nevertheless some Of the
principal temples and other objects of
interest are kept up. One of the chief
attractions is the Hanomangarhi, or
Monkey Temple. Within its walls
dwell 600 Disciples of the Silent Sect"
They live as monks do, and pass most
of their time in solid Incidence. There
are in Ayodhya seven cloisters of this
order, each of which is presided over
by an abbot. These are the Silent
Sect" the "VOid-o of Affection" Sect,
the "Naked" Sect, the " Ash Besmear-
ed" Sect, the Dumb" Sect, the "Pa-
tient" Sect, and the "Provisionless"
Sect. The men who compose these
sects r supported by the revenue of
land set apart for the purpose and by
the gifts of pilgrims. Ayodhya contains
a tomb of Seth, one of Job, and one of
Noah. Noah's grave is "a feet long
and 2 feet wide. The great Fair OF
Ramnammi, which is held annually at
Ayodhya, has recently closed. It At
tracted this year nearly q million of
pilgrims. The name of the place

Sentence Of . Young Socialist.
From the Pail Mall Gazette.1

The Russian revolutionary journal,
Land and Libertt, reports that on the
18th (24th) of March sentence Of death
was passed at Archangel on a young
man named Bobikoff, who had been u
subaltern in the army. BobikOf, though
only 20 years of age, had already, for
some offense unnamed, been sent to
serve in a penal or disciplinary battal-
ion, somewhere in Western Siberia; and
his indignation had been reused by the
publication of an order to the effect that
desertions from the disciplinary battal-
ions in Western Siberia should be pun
ished by exile to Eastern Siberia for life.
He himself deserted, and, an attempt
being made to recapture him, he defend
ed himself, revolver in hand, against his
would-b be captOrs. The court formed
to try the young man was composed of
military officers, under the presidency
of Gen. Mordvinof; and Land and Lib
erty declares that a. the members of the
special tribunal were leaving st. Peters
burg, the COMMANDMENTS Chief, Nicolas
Nicolaievitch, said to them: 81 hope
you will not sentence him to an honora-
bic death" "The slaves" it adds,
"did not disappoint their master, since
they sentenced Bobikoff to die by the
rope" Only high functionaries were
admitted to the court, which was sur
rounded by q large body of police and
soldiers, 90 that the whole street was
crowded with them.
Bobikof wa brought into the hall by
IL soldiers. "His young sympathetic
face" va are told, "wa- csreSorn and
pale. On each side of him stood q
9endarme with naked sword; while he
was separated from the public by six
soldiers with loaded muskets, and from
the Judges by i've soldiers similarly
armed" The act of accusation was
read. Based on Bobikof's w avow-

The Portuguese are not a clean peo-
pie. which may be one Of the causes of
English repugGance to them. Some OF
their customs are very nasty. They ex-
p~ectorate continually, and before doing
SO make a horrible, long-drasn, whirl-
ing noise up the throat, which is very
annoying. They seem TO do this once
in every two or three minutes, and make
quite an art Of it, for little boys practice
it, and young men seem 70 take pride in
doing il we'll. There is also n great deal
of hat lifting TO one another among the
men, and from observation l should say
that the art of expectora.ion, with the
proper noise, and the art of lifting the
hat, were two things tha. the native
male youth of Madeira first learned.
The presence of . lady does not deter
the men from the former nasty habit,
and the Portuguese ladies have been
known 10 indulge in it also, as they
hang over the balconies, 30 that il is
well to keep the middle Of the street in

enade called the PIaca, laid out with
trees and seats, where q band occasion

Miss YOupge's History OF England.

Christian Union: Unprecedented history
Is impossible, perhaps not desirable. The
prejudices of Miss Youngu in her Young
Folks History Of England estes and
tan Union. The two most impor-
tant aspects of English history In its rela-
lions to our own time and It's problems are
its record OF the progress OF civil aud re-
hgious liberty. And In religious liberty, in
the American sense of that term, Miss
Youoge does not believe. In her account of
the coChtct between state and church IN the
times of Henry Ii, her undisguised sympa
thieS are with Beckett. Ii her young readers
should think that she believed that Henry
VIII was wholly wrong In his battle with the
pope, who really ought to lie recognized as
''the father bishop of the west" and whose
only fault was that ''he had sometimes taken
mere power than he ought" they would at
least have reason in her narrative for that
impression, though possibly she does not
mean to give it. We do not discover word
of reprobatlon of Mary Tudor, who chad
only longed to do right and restore her coun-
try to the church" and we do fall on some
very severe words of reprobation of Eliza
beth, though perhaps no severer than are de-
served If they had been balanced by dis
terminating concentration of her real VIZ
tues. James "was a much wiser man at
bottom than any one would have thought
who had seen his disagreeable ways and
heard his silly way of talking;" his wisdom
consisting, apparently, in his mad endeavor
to establish eplscopacy IN Scotland, persist
ence in which was the Immediate occasion of
the civil war in the reign succeeding. The
attempt of Charles | to raise ship-money is
very mildly criticised; the Eail of Stafford S
attempt 70 establish despotic rule in England
is hardly criticised at all; and the neeotia-
tons between parliament and Charles l, that
came to naught because of the royal captive
| chronic inability to tell the truth, are brought
