The Rooskf Courier, which we lately receiv-
ed from Moscow, publishes the following
intelligence from Yenesaisk, town in mid
Siberia: go Again political exiles are arriv-
ing, is the word in ey ry ones mouth. Nine
have Just arrived; of these six were exiled
from Moscow by Count Albedinsky, aud are
under orders to proceed further inland For
the moment they are exposed TO our muir
derous climate. We have no mercy t.
expect-we are forgotten they say to the
people. Having lost all hope Of returning to
Russia they are in a most respondent state
Only yesterday a girl named Patrooesa
attempted the third time 10 commit suicide by
eating lucifer matches. She was saved by a
prompt application Of remedies; but will
rescue always be at hand We Siberians have
seen many exiles during our life, but we have
never seen such grief, such Tears, such hope
lessness, as presented by these nine exiles,
who do not know their crime, who do not
know how long they are exiled for, and where
their destination lies, and who must not write
a word in their letters about their condition.
A common convict knows what he is trans
ported TO-: his term of Imprisonment is told
him by his gaoler. These wretched political
prisoners know nothing. They are left in
dark anxiety and despair.

Eauard Toths Death.

Eduard 10th, the popular, bat very poor,
Hungarian lyric poet and dramatist, who died
some weeks ago, has left an photographed
account of the event which FASTENED his end.
There seems to be DO doubt that the gifted
young man had the germs of consumption al
ready at work in him; but probably no con
sumptive patient ever took less precaution
against the advances Of the destroyer, while
the last stage was prematurely hurried on by
the circumstances which he has described.
In a light coat, with no companion but a
walking stick, and with only five guldens in
his pocket, he set off for walk of ten miles
across mountain path to join troop Of
players in town which is simply indicated
as g L" He was overtaken by fearful and
binding snowstorm. About. II o'clock at
night he saw a light in house, made his way
10 il, and found that it was miserable little
inn, of forbidding aspect he determined 10
seek headquarters there, having no other
choice, as he thought, between that and death.
After he had been admitted by the evidently
Jewish landlord, he saw two peasants of cri-
ninal-looking aspect, drinking and playing at
cards. 10th ordered an omelette and half a
bottle of red wine. He was so disconnected
by the evident character of his host. and his
felIow-guests, that he thought it better to
trust himself to the sno%storm for The remain
der of the night than to such companions. He
pnt down his FIVE gulden piece, at which the
two peasants glanced, and received four
gulden and seventy kreutzers in change.
Warmed by the wine, he started off with
reinvgorated force. He had proceeded some
distance when, to his "great good fortune"
as he says, he slipped and rolled down into a
deep ditch. As he could not find his way
back to the road, he made use of the ditch as
track. The snow had ceased and had not
fallen so heavily on the downward route as
on the ascent. In few moments he heard
the voices of the two peasants whom he had
left in the i'm. "He must have come this
way" said one, abe cannot escape US. 7"
Bah F" replied the other, it is not worth
freezing all night to get 4 gulden and 10
kreuzers. l shall 90 back 10th says that
he kept himself quiet and molionless on the
frozen ground for two or three hours before
he dared again to move. :" That night, he
writes, "killed me, for since its horrors

A Picturesque Story about Mr.. Cos.

his new distinction. and says that he has had
quite a romantic career. He is a Virginian
born and bred, and bis family is Of the Oldest
stock in that State. He was only eighteen
