by the mobs, continues in southern
Russia. They are assailed in person,
their property destroyed, and the un-
fortunate victims in many cases forced
to flee the country Never in all the
history of human bigotry has there
been an instance Of so causeless and
heartless a crusade against an unof-
Tending people.

CONGRESSMAN JAMES O'BRIEN, of New
York. obtained divorce from his wife
recently OH the ground that she was an
habitual drunkard, and when under the
influence of liquor was very violent.
O'Brien in his bill averred that he treat
ed his wife with great consideration,
contributed generously to her support,
and tried to reclaim her, but to no pur-
pose. In lieu of alimony he offered to
give her 5000. The case excites some
interest because of O'Brien's promi-
nence in politics, and because divorces
are not recognized by the church to
which he belongs.

The following is the latest improv'
version of the ancient" stanzas:
A house OF glass shall come to pass
In England but alas!
War will follow, with the work
In the land of the Pagan and the Turk,
And State and State, in fierce strife,
Will seek each others life:
But when the North shall divide the South
An Eagle shall build in the Lions mouth.
Carriages without horses shall 90,
And accidents fill the world with woe;
Primrose Hill, in London shall be,
And in its center a bishop see;
Around the world thoughts shall fly
In the twinkling of an eye.
Waters shall yet more wonders do,
Now strange. yet shall be true;
The world upside down shall be,
And gold found at the root Of tree.
Through hills man shall ride,
And no horse or ass by his side.
Under water men shall walk,
Shall ride, shall creep, shall talk;
In the air men shall be seen,
In white, in black, in green.
Iron in the water shall float
As easy as a wooden boat
Gold shall be found mid stone
In 4 land that's now not known
Fire and water shall wonders do
England shall at last admit Jew;
The Jew that was held in scorn
Small of Christian be borne and born.
Three times three shall lovely France
Be led to dance a bloody dance
Before her people shall be free;
Three tyrant rulers shall she see;
Three times the people rule alone;
Three times the peoples hope is gone;
Three rulers in succession see,
Each spring from a different dynasty.
Then shall the worsor fight be DONE
England and France shall be as one.
All England's sons that plough the land
Shall be seen book in hand
Learning shall so ebb and flow,
The Door shall most wisdom know.

FROM the south comes most cheering
words of the prospect both Of cotton
and sugar crops. The season was late
and discouraging, but the fine weather
has brought everything forward rapidly.
Even the crop from the stubble cane,
which was regarded as almost hopeless,
will make more than a half crop under
continued favorable weather. The
Shreveport Times makes complaint of
the cutrworm making havoc in some
sections, but it is hoped that the unusu-
al cold Of the past winter will do much
toward ridding the planter, the coming
year, of many of the pests to his crop

ANOTHER defeat awaits Bismarck in
the German reichstag. He intends, it
is said, to introduce his tobacco mo-
nopoly bill at an early day, and, as a
majority of the members are opposed
to the measure, it is almost certain
that it will be defeated. The reichstag
is showing considerable backbone in
defending its privileges and constitu-
tional rights, and Bismarck is exhibit.
ing considerable bad temper and bad
judgment in courting defeat at its
hands so frequently and so needlessly.

A HaYtien Princess.

The face of the Princess Soulouque
was dead Jet black, but the features
were softly nodded, and with fine set
of laughing teeth, made her appear
ance possessing. She wore q jaunty
white 'turban hat, with an immense
cardinal red feather floating away be-
hind like ships pennon. Her riding
dress was of sky blue, very long, and
trailing in the dust. Around her waist
was q broad gold sash, and in her
bosom she wore sapphire brooch al
most as large as saucer. She was
mounted on . Venezuelan horse about
sixteen hands high, which was made a
present to her father, by the president
of Venezuela. Tho horse was as re-
markable as the woman on his back.
He was a clear cream color all over the
body, with long. snow-white name and
tail, and most admirable shape. The
lady riding-whip had gold handle
studded with precious stones, and the
bridle-chain was of solid silver. She
wore yellow leather gloves, with gallnt-
let's extended as far as the elbow. Her
voice had q tendency to falsetto, and
its tones were peculiarly entertaining
to hear. The princess, but no longer
princess by the laws of the land, was
educated in Europe, and speaks our
language. Boston Traveller.

The Flying Dutchman.

A name given by sailors to q phan-
tom ship, supposed to cruise in storms
off the Cape of Good Hope. Accord
ing to tradition. Dutch captain, bound
home from the Indies, with long, COM
tinued head winds and heavy weather
off this cape. and refusing to put back
as he was advised to do, swearing .
terrible oath that he would beat around
the cape if it took until the day Of
judgment to accomplish the feat. He
was taken at his word. and doomed to
beat against winds all his days. His
sails are believed to have become
threadbare, and the ships sides white
with age, and himself and crew re-
duced almost to shadows. He cannot
heave to or lower q boat. but sometimes
halls vessels through his trumpet, and
requests them to take letters home for
him. The superstition has its origin
in the looming or apparent suspension
in the air Of some ship out Of sights
