NADIA FilosoroR and the Gar.

A correspondent in st. Petersburg re-
cords an amiable action lately performed
by the czar. During the last few days
the chief military procurator, Filoso-
foff, and his wifehave returned to Rus
sia and reappeared at court. The story
of their absence is curious one. Under
the regime of Gurko it was an easy
thing for any one man or woman to be
ticketed as POLITICALLY suspected" and
dealt with accordingly. Nine. Filoso-
foff was cultivated and generous lady,
and she employed her spare moments
in frequent gifts to poor and promising
students to aid them in their careers. A
student of science or literature was
regarded ipso facio by the Gurko school
Of politicians as doubtful character
if not already Nihilist there was no
saying how soon he might become one.
Madame Filosofoff's gifts 70 youths of
this class brought her into bad repute,
and although no proof seems to have
been found that she really aided any
professed revolutionists under the plea
of aiding scient fic or literary aspirants,
she was suddenly informed that she
must leave Russia and reside abroad.
Her husband, the chief military pro-
curator, was in despair, but his influence
and Office could not procure remission
of the hard sentence, which reduced
him to the condition of what the Ger
mans call "straw widower."
At court ball shortly after the exile
of his wife, the late Emperor Alexander
II. went up to Filosofoff and kindly
asked him why he looked SO wretched.
"Your majesty knows" he replied,
that 1 am lonely man. I am no
longer young, am constantly ill, and
I need hardly say that 1 miss the
society of my wife" 81 can feel for
you," said the czar. "and I wish that
your wife could return to you; but"
added he, after pause, 81 find that it
is quite practicable. Early the next
morning. while the procurator was at
work in his study, courier arrived
from the czar, with a note in the i'm
perial handwriting. GAS your wife
cannot return to you," said the docu-
ment, "you had better go to her. l
grant you an extra leave of absence and
1000 rables for travelling expenses
Alexander" The present car struck'a
line across Madam Filosofoff's name in
the list of "political suspects" and she
and her husband, the compulsory and
the voluntary exile, were thus enabled
to return home, and, as our police re-
ports often conclude, "without stain
upon their character"

Russian Style of Dress.

The Russian costume of the lower
classes consists of black or white cap.
with the brim drawn down on the brow
and shading the eyes; long, loose,
shapeless dark blue or brown great
coat, flowing down to the heels, and
heavy top-boots up to the knee. From the
folds of the coat You may here and there
catch the sight OF the red blouse or of
the broad red sash and black velvet
breeches which were once popular !;
but, as a rule, the black, long gaber.

class idlers who crowd the steps of the
exchange wear the jacket and wide
awake hat now common to all Europe ;
gentlemen of higher rank are either
in the military OF civilian uniform, and
these also throw over it their heavy rid
ing cloaks, regardless of the sitting
heat, a Russian apparently never
feeling comfortable unless he is swsthed
in loose drapery from head to foot. The
funny pork pie hats worn by the droski
drivers in st. Petersburg or Moscow
disappear as we come further east, and
here the ivoshtshik buries his head and
half his face in his ugly black hanging
cap like other men. The Russians are
as hirsute race as any Asiatic. Those
of the lower classes, whether out of an
cient Muscovitic pride or to spite the
shade OF Peter the Great, the great
shaver, are bristling with such full, long
boards as might excite the envy of Their
snaggiest Kalmuck or Samojede fellow
subjects; some few have name at the
back of the head down to the shoulders
but for most of them the hair is clipped
in straight line by the barber, primi
tive artist, who claps an earthen pot or
them, over head and ears, when they gc
to'him for shearing, and trims round

pot. Hair and beard are usually un
kempt and tangled, fit frame for th,
face, where coating of several weeks
dirt neutralizes the color of the skin.

Night Experiences Of a New York Pilot.
BOlt,


We ran westward all night ur der
short sail, taking casts of the lead at in
tervals. Soon after ten, the atmosphere
being thick, but not so much 30 as to
prevent us from discerning objects at
the distance of mile, we discovered q
sailin y-ship ahead, evidently running
fer New York, and probably in need OF
a pilot Edging away toward her, We
lit our torch, and had the satisfac-
ticn of seeing her send up a couple OF
rockets in response. At the same time
she backed her reefed maintopsail and
hove to. Running down on her lee
side, We also hove to very near to her,
and proceeded to launch the yawl. 1t
was wild scene as the little boat vau-
ished iuto the darkness, perhaps never
to be seen again. But her crew carried
lantern with them, and after they had
left the pilot cn board the ship, we
were able to shape our movements by
this little glimmer bobbing up and
down like an ignis fatuus in the misty
dark. AS the night wore on the fog
grew so dense that We brought up our
six-pound brass piece from the fore
peak, and fired it at short intervals !;
this was done, not, as ole might sup.
pose, to keep vessels from coming into
collision with the schooner. but to in
form them there was pilot-boat in the
vicinity. But this very fact required
redoubled vigilance on our part, in
order that we might not be run down.
In the middle watch We were startled,
just after firing the cannon, by the an
swering whistle of steamer hoarsely
coming down the wind, and close at
hand. The excitement of the moment
was intense. Again we fired the can
non. The whistle drew nearer, and all
at once the colored lights of steamer
loomed ont of the dripping mist, and
her huge bow emerged from the gloom,
so near that it actually seemed to over
hang our deck. Passing close along.

her mighty engine a moment to make
sure of our position, and then vaguely
glided out OF sight. Century Magazine

Herr Holtz has concluded, from the
comparison of the statistics of thunder
storms and the damage occasioned by
them in Germany, Austria and Switzsr-
land, from 1854 to 1880, that while the
increase of thunder-storms has been
small, the risk from lightning has been
very largely augmented. He belives
that the change is partly due to the use
of iron in house-building.

The supreme tribunal of Mexico has
just given remarkable decision. They
have determined that certain slaves
were entitled to their freedom twenty
years ago, and that the owners of a
mine in which they have been worked
for those twenty years must pay them
wages for all that time. This decision
indicates the growing liberal sentiment
of the people of Mexico.

AUGUSTA, May 24.-Gen. A c. Haskell,
president Of the Charlotte, Columbia and
Augusta Railroad, was in the city to-day i'll
conference with President Verdery of the
Augusta and Knoxville Railroad. 1t is un-
derstood that the purpose of his interview
WAS to arrange some form of agreement
whereby the Clyde combination will have an
equal chance with the Baltimore and Ohio
over the Augusta and Knoxville The
CLYDE combination is now building an
extension of the Northeastern Rail
road of Georgia through GAINESVILLE and Ra-
bun Gap to Knoxville, at Lula. The new
road meets the Air Line at Greenyille. Tie
Air Line can connect with the Greenville
and Columbia Railroad, which will also
connect with the Augusta and Knoxville
at Greenwood, SC that if an agreement can
be perfected with the Augusta and Knox
vile the Clyde combination will have line
from Knoxville to Augusta. 1t is not pro-
posed THAT this shall debar tho Baltimore
and Ohio from also using the Augusta
| and Knoxville, but that both shall have an
equal showing. 1t has not TRANSFERRED what
conclusion was reached. Gen Haskell re-
turned to Columbia tonight.
To-day syndicate purchased the remain
ing 1870, 900 of the Augusta and Knoxville
Railroad bonds, paying ninety-seven for
them. The road will be pushed forward to
completion as rapidly as possible.

Water Works.


The construction of water works in
Knoxville is something in which all are in
terested, and is one of the most important
local questions now to be considered Great
care should be taken by the board Of mayor
and alderman to see that nothing is done
hastily or without due consideration. The
experience of year or two ago should i'm
press upon the wisdom of Davy Crockett's
maxim: BE sure you are right and then
go ahead Any proposition recommended
by the committee should be considered and
acted upon by the board after having 1t
printed and distributed among our business
men for examination, consideration and
criticism. Water-wOrks are for the benefit
of the town. and the people who pay the
taxes think they have the right to know
what is proposed to be done on such
an important question. No committee or
board of aldermen can afford to hurry
through scheme of this magnitude with
out due notice. We have confidence in the
proper judgment of the people, and no one
can safely disregard it.
