to be padded with cotton wool stepped
in a preparation which hardened 1t, ana
rendered it, if not bullet proof, at least
knife proof and diificalt for even bul-
let to pierce at long shot. An attempt
was made some time ago to poison the
Gar by sending him petition covered
with some noxious powder, since when
he ceased to receive letters, papers, or
petitions. For similar reason he gave
up smoking, though he used to like
cigar. and he drank no wine but from
bottles uncorked in his presence. In
the imperial kitchen the Cars food Was
prepared by French cook, who piled
all his avocations under the eyes OF two
police guards, not that the cook himself
could incur any suspicion, but because
some conspirator might have got at the
ingredients he was preparing. The food
was always cooked in the simplest way,
without sauces, and it was tasted by
two officials before it was served at the
Cars table. Everything that Alex
ander II. ate or drank was tasted in his
presence, and all the attendance in the
dining room was performed by servants
of tried fidelity.

ICoMNUNICATED.
SECULAR SOCIETIES.
By J. Mitchem, Toue IIaute.

There are scores Of societies among
our people, and all protesting TO be
benefcient. Now, | think that any
careful observer can see at glance
that the way in which The larger pro-
portion of the secular societies have
been and are now being managed,
they are q great lmpediment to our
progress, morally, religiously, intel
lcctually and financially. Now, what
ever hinders our progTessIln any one
of these, | think that it IS a curse 10
Us and not blessing. Those men
and women that are out 10 their socl-
cites or lodges three or lour nights IN
the week. until eleven or Twelve
o'clock, don't have much time Tor
either moral or religious Improvement
and, as general thing, "hen they
die they Leave their families poorer
and more helpless, because it takes
all the money that ye society has got
to meet other expenses. In some Of
our large cities we lave between twen
ty and thirty societies, and some Of
our brethren belong to nearly as many
as there are nights in the week. |
think that there is as much consist
ency in such Il course as there is in a
man having six wives or woman
having six husbands.
In the first place we have too many
societies, and, secondly, we put a
higher estimate upon them than we do
upon the Church Of Christ and our
own immortal souls. This statement
is true, if we are 10 Judge by the peo-
nles actions. Hundreds Of persons
