The Plaques OF Russia.

The RuSSki Prada states that Prof Eich-
wald, the leading specialist of epidemic dis
ease IN Russia, Is preparing to leave st. Pc
tersburg to study the plague on the spot. In
closing his class at the university last Thurs
day he said: when the plague does not ex-
lst we study 1T from books; when it breaks
out 1t Is the duty of specialists to forsake
their books and study it in its living form. :"
At Belopolya, in kharkoff, diphtheria is
raging with such fury that the authorities
have received permission to make use Of an
empty barracks as a hospital. At Kieff a
sanitary commission is engaged in searching
every warehouse and store IN the town for
provisions or goods liable to breed infection.
Upward of twenty thousand pools of frozen
fish have been destroyed. All trade with
Astrakhan has been suspended. The Riep.
ianiH atfrms that the Jews at Kieff have
held meeting, at which the elders discussed
a novel mode Of dealing with the plague,
viz, by collecting subscriptions to enable the
poorer members OF the Israelite community
to marry. 1t Is belief among the Polish
Jews that marriage Is a preventive of epi-
demic disease. Religious OF seryances, Gus
tomary among the Jews IN time Of plague,
have been commenced throughout Russia.
At ElezavetOgrad the zemstvo has decided
that every house Ia which the plague APP
pears shall be burnt TO the ground. In three
villages at Rannenburg tumor typhus has
broken out; at Vyazjnsky smallpox Is rife,
and there Is only one doctor 10 stem its
progress among twenty thousand people.
The ANTICIPATES at Wilma have refused to al
low Astrakhan goods to enter the town. and
have turned back two tram loads of mer
Chandlse from Tsaritsn.

WORK FOR THE LEGIsLATURE.

A resolution that ought, without delay, to
be introduced in either or both houses of the
legislature, should read:
BeSOt,ei M Ue General assembly Of Tn STATE Of
T,y1seSsec That a committee of five be appointed to
investigate the printing, In the Nashville Bl,Hcr Of
the testimony taken before the committee to iBves
tlgate the Stale debt, and lind out If such printing
was by the cOnniydnce OF consent OF said commit
tee or If such evidence was sold to the Banner, or
stolen for the Banner.
Until such an investigation is had and an
swer Is made to the questions in this resolu
ton, the legislature of Tennessee must stand
as giving its consent to the wilIful
traduction of all the leading men of the
State since 1852; stand disgraced as aiders
and abettors of starr chamber proceeding
without parallel in the history of the Union,
and to deliberate purpose by a ring of re-
pudiationists, by defamation and intimida-
ton, to dishonor the State and its people.

For the Sunday Appeal
TO - FADED FLOWER.

Dear little flower, ills three long years
Since first placed you here,
Inthts tiny box, far out OF sight,
Because you were so dear.
Twas then that you were given me,
And loved you, loved you so,
Your leaves were fresh and very green,
Your petals white ds snow.
All, those sweet words, l hear them yet
Take, love, this little token
But now | must all this forget.
The bright, bright dream is broken.
And so lift thee tenderly,
The happy past recalling;
Try as / will, cannot keep
The bitter tears from falling.
Dear little treasured, faded flower,
That no more may cherish,
Teach us that all things we so love.
Like thee, must fade and perish.
Teach US the unseen future
No one on earth can tell;
And now, farewell forever,
sweet flower, fare thee we'll.

Remarkable Eruptions from n Well. |

heHudrkaDAe EruDLAOhB from we'll
Rochester Express, February 22d: "Last
autumn the Vacuum oil company, of this
city, began the woik Of drilling for salt at
Leroy. State geologists had given the opin-
Ion that there was a vein, and several hun
dred dollars (about fifteen hundred dollars, it
Is sald) were raised in that village to assist
the Rochester parties, it being expected the
vein would be reached there as had been
reached in Wyoming, only much nearer the
surface. On Friday, about half past three
o'clock in the afternoon, when the well had
been bored to depth of about four hundred
and fifty feet, a strong vein of gas was
struck, which blew the tools out of the well,
and rushed out with such force as to extend
to the fire in the coal stove, about ten feet
distant from the mouth of the WELL The
house In which the men were working took
nre, and the destruction of the derrick
seemed inevitable, when the rush of the gas
from the well gave way to a gush of water,
which put the fire out, and was so strongly
lmpregnated with sulphur that it could be
smelled distance of nearly half mile. For
some time afterward there were alternate
rushes OF gas and gushes of water from the
well, each holding its own for about min
ute and half. About six o'clock the water
was spouting to a height of about sixty feet
in the air, and was strongly lmpregnated
with salt; while at half-past seven o'clock it
had reached an altitude of one hundred and
ten feet. The bore of the well is eight inches,
but the casing takes up about an inch, thus
having an opening Of about seven inches,
from which the water still gushes with such
force that large blacksmith s anvil, placed
over the hole, was blown entirely out.
