Vera SaSsulitch.

Referring to the recent arrest in st. |
Petersburg of Vera Sassulitch, who shot
General Trepof, project of the Russian
capital, in February. 1878, the New 7 ork
World gives the following sketch of her
career Few things which of late have
occurred in Russia, where stirring events
succeed one another with startling rapid
ity, created so great a sensation as the
Vera Sassulitch episode. The woman
was born in 1850, and at seventeen years
of age felt heiustice-o suspicion-with
which the empire of Discomfort is
swayed. She was the school friend of
the sister of Netchaieff, the conspirator
whom Switzerland refused to extradite
Miss Netchaieff was thrown into prison
for the offense of being her brothers
sister, and Vera Sassulitch was likewise
imprisoned for being the friend of the
conspirator's sister. For nine years she
was prisoner, and as such was sub
iected to brutal indignities. In 1876 she
was liberated. A little over year later
all liberal minded people in Russia were
shocked by the brutality of General Ire
poff, who had ordered the severe punish
ment of apolitical prisoner, Bogolinhoff
who was guilty of the grievous offense
/ y
gust presence. Vera Sassulitch, it is
said had never heard of Bogolinhof, but
she felt that by attracting attention to
Trepoff she might end his tyrannies.
Accordingly she sought an interview
and shot him in the side. The wound
was not fatal, but the woman was tried
for her life. The jury embraced six
members of the civil service, two mer-
chants, school inspector, a nobeman,
a student and an artist The audience
of six hundred persons was a splendid
one, admitted by ticket, and was COM
posed of people in high station. Though
the offense was admitted the sympathy
of the audience and the general public
was so great that she was acquitted.
The audience greeted the verdict with
cheers, and there was an attempt at a
Nihilist demonstration but the police
interfered and promptly killed several
persons. Vera's brother-in-la fired on
the police and then blew out his own
brains. The woman escaped and several
months later was at a banquet in
Geneva, where, sitting at Henri Roche
forts right hand. she made so violent a
speech that the Swiss authorities po-
litely asked her to move on. From
then until now her movements have
not been matter of public record.

A Mans Month SeWed Up,

The Syracuse IN. y Herald says:
There is one of our city physicians who
ia sometimes in the habit of imbibing
too freely, and when the trials and tribu-
lations of the busy world bear down
heavily upon him he browns his griefs
and drives dull care away in the flowing
bowl. 1t was while in this condition
that one day he was called to one of the
suburban villages of Syracuse to attend
q man who had received severe gashes
on his face. The patient was put under
the influence of ether. and after fashion
the doctor proceeded 10 sew UP the
mans wounds. When he had completed
the operation, as he supposed, he OBJ
served large opening in the face just
below the nose, from which the blood
was oozing. After swallowing another
potation from his now nearly empty
flask, the doctor proceeded with renewed
vigor to the task of sewing up the mans
mouth and after he had finished, ban
daged the mans face and departed. Not
many minutes elapsed before the man
recovered his consciousness, and "Umi
UNI! UNI" was heard from underneath
the bandage, and "Um! UNI! uni" was
repeated as emphatically as it was posi-
BILE for the man to calculate under the
circumstances. Another physician was
called and the bandages' and stitches
were removed.

Some New York Fits.

The New York police the other day
found a young fellow in dreadful fit
and took him to the station house, where
hospital ambulance was at once sent
for. 1t came, as such. things do, in a
hurry, bringing two doctors. "Epil-
epsy," said one; :" Sham, said the other,
and they proceeded to test the case The
fellow was foaming at the mouth, with
eyes set, fists clenched, and limbs rigid.
Ice-water was poured on him, and he
showed no sign. 1t was about to be adj
mitted case of epilepsy, when hot
water was dropped, just little upon
his skin. The patient at once jumped
up all right. Both doctors were then
aroused, and they threw him down and
poured all the ice-water they had ov, r
him till he begged them to stop. Then
he owned up that he was shamming,
and had recently slammed his way into
Bellevue for n month and then into st.
Luke's. Whenever l want new suit
of clothes and to feed up. go out and
have fit," he said, The doctors say
this sort Of thing is not rare, and that
these well fellows in hospitals make
danger us thieves there.

A Funny Mistake.

Ninety-fve Rubber Boots advertised in all
the papers. I'm thinking they must be cheap
at ninety-fve cents, and IN Just take home
two pair to the old man."
1t was difficult at first TO convince the old
lady that the figures "95" referred to quality,
not price, and that the boots were 95 per
cent sterling pure; but when she was shown
sample cut open to display the interior and
saw that the soles we're halt an inch thick Of
solid rubber, and that the upper and legs were
double thick, she was contented to pay, not
ninety-hve cents, but several dollars, for a
single pair of the "Candee IS Per Cent.
Boots" believing they would be the cheap
est in the end for the cold man" The
storekeeper punched the date OF sale in the
legs so as to fix the expiration OF the three
months warrant and assured hor isl ease thoJ
did not stand the warrant, he would give a
new pair free OF charge.

FoR TIE FAIR SEX.
A Chinese Beauty In Parts.

The wife Of the Chinese ambassador
appeared al ball in Paris for the first
time unveiled in any European assembly.
Describing her appearance a correspon-
dent says: A little, quaint woman, with
her hair plastered down to the sides of
whitewashed face, was seen blinking
in the gasligiit as bats are said to blink
in the sun. She tottered through the
rooms on her small, mutilated feet, won
dering even more than she was won
dered at. Never before in Chinese his
tory had the wife of high official been
seen even by her own countrymen, much
less by the foreigner. An American
may take credit for the conversion of his
excellency to common sense, Mr.. Hit.
of the American legation, having pre-
vailed upon the ambassador to visit his
house to sec the great fete of the repub-
lie
The sight Of this Chinese beauty was
q little disappointing. She was very
handsome or the reverse according to
your way of looking at it. have heard
the most contradictory verdicts from
different people. Her oily skin was COW
cred with powder laid on as thickly as
If it were a clowns face at pantomime
time. She toddled about the rooms for
a short time on her poor mutilated feet
and then went home, no doubt TO dream
of what the sun and moon and morning
stars would say next day on this awful
innovation of all the Confucian proprie-
ties. The great anxiety OF the minister
here is to do as the rest do, to follow the
immemorial customs. Sitting at dinner
the other day, he was observed to do
precisely what was done by the gentle
man who sat next to him. He ate of
the same dishes in precisely the same
proportions, and when the other asked
the servant for another piece of bread he
made a sign to h We bread, too. The
European-something of an amateur in
porcelain-at length turned up one of
the dessert plates, just to see the mark
of the fabric. The Chinese minister i'm
mediately did the same.

ing; To limit the maximum rate OF duty on

The Dill reported to tho HoJ5e lns KING The
department Of agriculture an executive de-
partment and its head member OF the cabi-
net was accompanied by minority report by
Mr. Covert. He opposes the bill on the
ground that those engaged in agricultural
! pursuits are as class emlnently and abund-
antly seli-sustaining; that the bill if enacted
will be an extension OF a system which should
be condemned-that is, the seemingly I'M,
necessary iavoring of one class already strong
| in numbers and material resources at the ex.
pense OF other classes less strong in theil
various departments of labor; that the policy
of the government should be to secure to eacl
citizen and each lawful branch Of industry
full and necessary protection, leaving to in
dividual citizens the opportunity to use theil
| individual efforts and the associated work O.
their class to the attainment OF the mos
profitable results.
