exhibition of her horsemanship on Satur-
day next, riding two miles on fiery racer.
Mr.. Stevens gave an account of Miss
Archer and her antecedents and family.
She was brought on the track, under es-
cort Of Newt. Douglass, and introduced to
the spectators. She seemed modest and
rather pretty young girl, Of middle size,
neither her face nor manner giving any
indications Of the skill and endurance
which she Is said to possess. But there
seems to be, from al accounts, no doubt
- to Miss ArcheFs ability to ride the
twenty mile race at Sedalia.

The Baron's Watch-POcket.

One of the most illustrious of our
Judges, contemporary tells us, was
travelling once with friend through the
South of France, and so into Italy. He
was at the time of his journey the pos
SCISSOR of brand-new andsvery splendid
chronometer, OF which he was very
proud. A constant source of complaint
on the journey was that no watch-pock-
cts were affixed to foreign beds, and
that the chronometer, placed under the
pillow at night, slipped, after the GUS
tom of chronometers, from that posi.
ton, and, in so doing, incurred risk of
breakage. At length, at a small hotel
near Lugano, at which a nights rest
was to be taken, the Baron found, to his
delight, the pocket the absence of which
had marred the pleasure of his journey.
So overjoyed was he that there was
some talk of arranging the next DAVIS
journey with view to returning to
sleep once more at an inn so far in adj
vance OF its rivals in its attention to the
comfort of guests. In the morning.
however, the Baron came down with a
rueful visage and showed the chronome-
ter, now silent and ruined. What had
been taken for a watch-pocket at the
head of the bed was small vessel full
of holy water. In that the watch had
remained all night without experiencing

FOREIGN GOSSIP.

SO great is the Empress of Austria's
horror of noise that wherever she may
be thick carpets are laid down to drown
the sound of even her own footsteps.
The Princess Dolgorouki left her
children behind her when, three hours
and half after the Cars death, she
was ordered to retire from st. Peters
burg. Her sister, also, now at Warsaw,
has received instructions to withdraw to
Italy.
The town of Elbing, in Germany,
has been accustomed to make an appro-
priation every year for an illumination
of the Rathshaus on the anniversary of
the Emperor Williams birthday; but
this year it takes the significant action
of devoting the money to the poor OF
the city.
Several French ladies of high rank
who are unwilling to part with their
children to 90 abroad, and are unwilling
also to separate them from the religious
teachers to whom they have been hith-
erto confded, have emigrated for time
to Jersey, where several French convent
schools are established.

Alexander Ill. has decided liking
for France and the French. During the

Madame Tarnowski is Russian
lady who has just been unanimously
elected an active member of the Society
of Physicians in charge of the lunatic
asylums of her native country. She re-
ceived several years ago the diploma of
M. ID. at the St. Petersburg University,
and since entering actively upon the
profession she has shown so much skill,
power of thought, and success in her
treatment of difficult cases that she has
earned wide reputation even among
specialists.
AN article on Alexander Ill, writ
ten by Russian of high position, says
the new Gear will strive to maintain
good relations with Germany, toward
whom his attitude will be simply the
same as was that of his father. France
will enjoy a more marked sympathy.
The relations with Austria have the ap-
pearance of distrust. In any case, the

only for one thing. Once Tom ran
so fast that he tumbled down and

Transplanting Evergreens.

There has always been much said as
to the proper time for transplanting ev-
ergreen trees. The first tree we ever
planted on our own account of the ever
green family was a cedar-tree. We
wanted about dozen with which to
make hedge, and were told to select
the month of August, as that was the
year to remove them with certainty. We
did SO, and were three years before we
could get enough to grow. It is true
good-sized trees were selected, but they
were not two hours out of the ground
before they we're in again, and during
even that short period the roots were
protected against the sun.
We never tried August again: and
subsequently in planting the Hemlock
and Norway spruces, the double white
spruce, the common mountain spruce,
the white pine, the Excelsior pine. the
Criptomeria, the Austrian and Scotch
pines, the Irish juniper, the Irish vew,
the American, Chinese and Siberian
arbor vitas, we do not at this time re-
member that even one was lost nv the
transportation. We set from the mid
die of March to the end of MAY, and on
one occasion the Norway spruce was
planted when it had shot fully two
inches.
August and the autumn months NAV
be very good transplanting times for
some people. We merely mention our
own experience, which may or NAV not
be considered satisfactory; but August
and the autumn can not be better than
the spring when, if properly attended
to, all the trees grow Germantown

How Justice is Administered in Russia

Panjutin, one of the government
officials in command of the district en-
bracing Odessa, in Russia, is described
at some length in the Berlin Tageblatt.
Within few months after his assuming
office, ninety-three persons were dis
patched Enthusiastically which
means without trial, conviction, or even
accusation, to East Siberia, among
them several whose ages ranged be-
tween IA and IL years. Some of these
arrests and banishments were effected
in such haste as to occasion trifing mis-
takes, like sending off the wrong man.
Thus, in place of the student Andreas
Ostrowski, the type-setter Vladimir
Ostrowski was carted off and the same
thing happened to railroad laborer,
one Kusehnirenko, in place of student
OF the same name. In the same cate
CORY may be placed the arrest and ban
ishment of postillion, with his wife
and babe a year and a half of age, the
child being recorded us guilty of treason,
and transported for that crime. Paniu-
tin selected congenial tools for the exc
cution of his orders. He directed one
OF his subordinates to search the labor
atory of the University of Odessa. The
man made the search, and found moth
ing that he could safely seize; but he
nevertheless expressed strong suspicious
because there were so many of ''those
electric batteries" around. Teachers
and professors were especial objects of
Panjutin's kind offices. One of the
Odessa faculty resigned his chair and
quilted the country to get out of the
mans neighborhood.

child who passed her door. Her house
was old and grim. The dark curtains
were always down, the doors were sell

without fearing the evil spirit that
seemed to lodge there. The old wom-
an cursed any one who dared peer
through the fence, andif seen abroad
she was carefully avoided.
A few days ago the children saw the
inside of her house tor the first time.
The old woman had been found dead,
and men and women had assembled to
respect her cold clay. With them
came the children. They were the
first to forget what she had been, and
the first to shed tears over the close of
her earthly career. Men and women
were satisfied when the body had been
dressed for the grave, but the children
brought flowers and laid them on her
grizzly hair until she seemed to wear q
crown of glory; they placed beauti-
full lily in her bony fingers, a green
vine over her breast, and when the cur
tain was raised and the sunshine
streamed in and fell upon the dead, men
and women said:
