DuChes OF Edinburgh.
THE DUCHESS OF EDINBURGH
bears her great loss with characteristic
tortitude, On her arrival last week and
after visiting the chamber OF death, she
was greatly overcome, and sleep refused
10 assuage her grief, The next morning,
however, che visited the Princess Urietf4t
and remained more than an hour. In the
evening the Duke aud Duchess, inCognita,
paid visit to the spot where the fatal

Mr.. sala contributes a long article
on Russia and the Nihilists to the
Paris Figaro, In which he ridicnles
the idea that 1t is possible to found Re.
public in Russia in the present State oi
Russian society. The sixty millions Of
peasants forming o greater pat OF the
nation are ignorant, isolated and wholly
devoted to the Czar. The popular ele.
ment OF the towns Ia powerless for q
revolution, and II the Nihilsts continue
THE POLICY OF BLOOD AND VIOLENCE
we may some day witness the spectacle oi
theinturiated peasantry rushing bllndlyt to
the rescue Of their Little Father" bent
on indiscriminate slaughter. "Modern
Russia" says Sala, "wil probably be born
OF political and social factors borrowed
from oil the nations Of Europe. II will be
the work, not Of theorists, but ol,time and
circumstances"
