Nih;IISn, in Russia.
from a Letter of Rev. v.--to Bel

from B Letter of Rev. .--to to Relative in
 this City.l
 This dreadful Nihilistic atrocity in Russia am not at all surprised at these outbreaks, for they are just what I was led to expect while in Dresden. Russia is the only country in Europe where such things are formidable, for it is the only country where despotio gov ernment has held the people in such position that the liberalism which filters in from the outside can see no better way to advance it's interests than to fall back on to the oriental resource of assassination and the like. The truth with Russia is, that her system has left her without any large middle class who know how to administer free government. This fact makes the Ozar hesitate to proclaim a constitution.

William H. Vanderbilt has given the city of Rochester, New York, a lesson that will make it shy of fighting him on future occasions. The city began proceedings against him for being party to fraudulent conspiracy 10 get possession of the State Line road, in which Rochester has sunk $600, ,O0O. Van derbiIt proposed making the State Line part of through route from the West to Boston, and, under his management, the roads seeur- ities were greatly appreciated in value. As soon as these proceedings were begun, how ever, Vanderbilt dropped the State Line, and now receiver has been appointed. The re- suit will be that the city will probably lose it's 5000, 900 investment and Vanderbilt will get the road at foreclosure sale.

An action has been begun in San Francisco under the recent enactment of the California Legislature against the president of a corpor- ation which employs greater number of Chinese workmen than is allowed by the new constitution. The object of the suit is to test the legality of the law, and there is little doubt as to the judgment which will be ren- dered in United States Court. The law is plainly unconstitutional.

A new and attractive method of reward for those who are diligent in the business of the Government has been established in Japan. It consists of no decoration or gift of money, but takes the form of great national DOT trait gallery, in which those who sufficiently distinguish themselves in the opinion of their superiors will heneeforth have the privilege of seeing their Hkenesses placed. Already vast number of applications for place have been made, with the result, in the opinion of the Hochi Shinbun, an independent journal of the Japanese capital, that the gallery will have more of quantity than quality in 1t. Another clause in the decree which establishes this reward raises doubts in the minds of the Japanese journals. People who are allotted place in the gallery may have their Hkenesses painted according to their own taste or be photographed, as they please. chronicler fears that very few ugly faces will appear in the collection, and that it's value as histori- cal souvenir will on this account also be con- sequently considerably depreciated.

A great matter is sometimes kindled by a little fire, and the absence of a little comma from the place where it should be is some times very important as well as confusing. The Hudson river railroad, by it's charter, was limited in it's rates of fare to or 2 cents a mile, according to season. After this, there was passed in 1s48 general railroad law, among other things fixing the maximum rate of roads, to be thereafter built, at 3 cents mile. This law read also: ''All existing railroad corporations within the State shall respectively have and possess all the powers and privileges contained in this act, (comma) and they shall be subject to all the duties, liabilities and provisions, not inconsistent with the provisions of their charter" In 1850 new railroad law was passed. This clause was exactly embodied in 1t, except that instead of comma, as here noted, there was semicoIon. Some time after this resident, up the river, who had been compelled to pay 8 cents mile, sued the company, according to the provision of it's charter, and recovered 8 verdict of about 26,000, being $50 for each offense. The company appealed, and

Human SuMering

A dreadful scene of human suffering
was enacted by the burning Of the State
Insane !AsJ ;uw at St. Peter, Nlnu., on
Tuesday night week. A western pa
per says. 1.-The scene at the burning
OF the poor inmates 10 the hospital was
heartrendIng in the extreme. So ap-
paiiine . sight has rarely been witness
ed. The patisnrs in the annex wing
we're males Many OF tn III refused to

ing. snd those VINO could not be coaxed
u"r forced ou, of the building became
the unhappy victims Of the flames or
w-rs suif,cated. Some wers saved BY
Ia lders, and others BY lespipg from the
windows. Some we're nearly nude,
some shoeless and hatless, and all we're
exposed to the exceeding cold of the
night. Many of the denen.ed and
crssed inmates fed as if for their lives
and could not be overtaken or confined
Their su6erIngs 10 this frightful condi-
tion can better be imagined than de-
scribed. The whole catastrophe is
beart:endipg one. Those who escaped
the flames were at large half clothed,
and were TO be seen in all direction fy-
ing in wild fright from those who at
tempted 10 save them. The rir was
bitter cold, and the poor wretches with
half naked bodies aud bleeding feet
we're flying about, hiding in alleys aud
and dark corners for some time. The
capacity of the building has been tried
to its utmost. There we're about 600
patients. and every inch Of space was
utilized. n bat will be done with these
poor creatures turned out in the cold,
and their malady increased by the ex-
citemeDt Of the occasion, is a very ser
ious question There are two other
buildings situated in the town which
are used, but they are already crowded.
The superintendent of the asylum says
there were not more than twelve lives
lost. and probably as many more per.
sons we're hurt and are suffering from
the bitter cold of last night. More
people are believed to be injured and
dying from exposure to the weather
than from burns. Other people say
that as many as twenty either perishsd
in the flames or died on the bills during
the night. The loss on the building is
$500 ,000."
