Increased value of southern ,ands

WASHINGTON, April 18.-Tables recently
completed by the statistician of the Agricui-
tural Department, showing the average price
of improved and wood land in each of the
States and Territories, together with the aver
age increase in values of lands, disclosed the
fact that farming land in the Southern States,
with the exception of Kentucky, although
held far below the average IN the North and
West is increasing in value much more rapid
ly than in other sections, and gives reasonable
ground for the hope that. in this respect at
least the South will not be many years in re-
covering the proportionate degree of prosperity
she held before secession, it, indeed, she does
not exceed it. The average rate of increase in
the Cotton States is about IL per cent In
South 5Carolina, whose increase exceeds that
of any other portion of the Union, the value
of farm lands is Is per cent higher than one
year ago. This condition of affairs is due. in
great part, to tina exceptionally large cotton
crops of the last two years. The Border States
seem to share in the general prosperity thus
exhibited. Virginia lands have increased in
value twelve and six-tenths per cent, West
Virginia lands ten and two-tenths per cent,
and Tennessee lands twelve and three-tenths
per cent Kentucky for some reason not as
certalnable shows an increase of only six and
six-tenths per cent. Delaware lands show the
least appreciation, the increase being only
three and eight-tenths per cent. Massachusetts
improved lands command a higher price than
those of any other portion of the Union, the
average price being SOL an acre. Those of
Alabama, which show the lowest price, are
given at $7.47 an acre.

Mrs. Theodore Parker's Will.

BOSTON, April 1S.-The will of the widow of
Theodore Parker, who died week ago, has
been filed. She bequeaths those of the books
of the great preacher which she retained after
his death to the Public Library, where the
bulk of his library now is, having been left by
him to that institution. His study desk and
table are. also to be deposited in the Public Lii
brary, with the marble bust of him made by
Storey All the manuscript sermons and lee
lures bequeathed to her by Mr. Parker she be-
queathes to Frank B. Sanborn of Concord, one
of the literary executors of Mr.. Parker, to-
gether with all copyrights, extension of copy
rights, note books, letters, journals, and the
literary property generally of her husband in
her possession, to do with as he sees fit. The
articles which Theodore Parker mostly used,
aud which were connected with his studies and
daily life, she distributes among number of
friends of her husband and herself, among
them Wendell Phillips, Miss Hannah E. Stew
enson, Mrs. Robert e. Apthorp, and others, of
this city; Miss johnson of Andover, sister of
the Rev. Samuel johnson and others. To the
wife of Ralph Waldo Emerson she leaves a
photograph of Mr.. Parker which always hung
in his parlor, and large number of other be-
quests of small sums of money are made to
relatives and friends. The executors of the
will are Wendell Phillips and VIM. /. Bow
ditch of Brookline. 1t is thought that unpub-
lished papers will be collected and published
before long.

Death of Lord Beaconsfield.
GLOOMY CONDITION OF AFFAIRS lin
RUSSIA.

ST.. PETERSBURG, April 1.-THE most strin-
gent measures are constantly in opera
ton to suppress every possible item of news
that might encourage the Nihilists by letting
them know of any activity on the part of their
fellows Every item of we'll authenticated
shows that the Nihilists maintain nearly per-
feet communication with one another and are
engaged in some deep and cautious conspiracy
Fresh plots are constantly coming to light, but
the law officers seem to be completely baffled
in every effort at investigation. 1t has been
ascertained that at the late imperial services
the very candles and tapers that had been at
first selected to burn around the Cars bier,
and to afford light to members of the imperial
family during the ceremonies, were all filed
with nitro-glycerine. But for the accidental
discovery of this fact while one of them was
being handled, during which it broke, reveal
ing its interior, series of most horrible disas-
tiers would have occurred before the dead
Cars corpse. The imperial palaces are now
protected at every point under ground against
mines. The other day carriage from the
imperial place was stopped by PEASANTS wag-
on, and peasant handed some mysterious
packages to the coachman, who sealed them
up. The police, however, were made aware
of the transaction, and they arrested the
coachman, who is still a prisoner. Nothing
can be learned concerning the peasant, who
managed to disappear, and the officials are
dumb about the whole occurrence. Five. pro
fessors have been dismissed at Jassy for al
legged completely with Nihilist plots and twenty
students have been. expelled for the same
reason.
The measures adopted to control the daily
flow of passengers, traders, peasants, etc.. to and
from the capital are productive of the great
est inconvenience. People who live outside
the town, and whose business takes them into
it by day, have to wait their turn at the bar
riers to inscribe their names, addresses, occu-
pations and destinations at each trip each way.
The authorities fear to take any step to abridge
this hardship. The government has RENTED
some of the measures indicative of national
mourning, and has decreed that pianos may
again be played in the towns. Popular coun-
ellis like the one at St. Petersburg are to be es-
tablished at Moscow, Warsaw, Kiev, Odessa
and at Charkow.
The Golos says six political prisoners will be
tried by military court at Moscow at the end
of April. Three are of noble rank, one is a
son Of priest and two are women, one the
wife of DR.. Bozomslitz and the other the wife
of a teacher named Koroloffsky.
LONDON, April 17.-All reliable advices from
st. Petersburg show that state OF unpar'
allied uneasiness exists throughout the entire
empire The statements repeatedly made OF
late that several of the Nihilist chiefs have
been arrested prove to be false. 1t is now ap-
parent that the rigorous measures adopted by
the police since the Cars assassination have
done little If any good towards quelling the

brow; mobile lips, touched with strong passion
kept resolutely under control; a square jaw,
which would make the face stern were it not
counteracted by the sweet smile of lips and
eye. We can hardly hope that posterity will
ever know her from likenesses as those who
had the honor of her acquaintance knew her in
life. Only some worlds artist could have
handed her down as she lived, as Bellini has
handed down the doge whom we all know SO
well on the walls of the national gallery. The
two or three portraits that exist, though valu-
able, give but very imperfect presentment
The mere shape of the head would scarcely be
possible to represent without giving the idea of
disproportion to the frame, of which no one
ever thought for moment when they saw her,
although 1t was surprise, when she stood up,
to that, after all she was but little fragile
woman who bore this weight of brow and brain.

A Notorious Outlaw Killed,

RALEIGH, N. G., April 1S.-A letter from
Swain county says that Redmond, the notori-
GUS outlaw, who has defied the United States
authorities in South and North Carolina for
several years by persistent violation of the in
ternal revenue law, was captured the other
day. after being fatally wounded in an en-
counter with the officers. Redmond was at
his home, in Swain county, where he has re-
sided since he fled from South Carolina When
the officers surrounded his house and con-
cealed themselves in the bushes, the dogs be.
gan to bark and Redmond took his gun and
went out to see what was the matter He was
hailed by the officers and told to halt. Red
mond Immediately raised his gun to shoot land
was fred upon by the officers. He was then
taken to Charleston, the county-seat, where
he died the next day. He said to Ray, who
shot him: "You bave shot me; never surren-
dered and never would have done So" Red
mond killed and wounded several officers dur.
ing his career, and was known as thoroughly
desperate man, who would die with his boots

had long talk with the President on the SUBJ
ject of the nomination of Judge Robertson.
and, in conversation, said that the President
is determined not to yield anything in the Rob-
ertson case. The President is reported to have

party leaders, but as it had been forced upon
him he thought it the best policy to have the
question as to whether the Executive or the

lions settled at the beginning of his admins
tration. He WAS determined to recognize all
