Life in Russia.

A private letter published by the Frankfurter Zeitung tells the following extraordinary story: Not long ago the priest of one of the churches in Samara Russia, in the course of sermon, re, called the brutal asse ssination of Alex ander II. His hearers became greatly excited, and at the close of the service left the church in a frenzy of rage, shouting that they would have revenge. Not finding one of the murderers ready to their hands they ran about the streets assaultiDg everyone who was dressed after the manner of Europeans. That night Nihilist committee having head. quarters in the town met and decided that the priest who had unwittingly in. stigated the riot should be put to death. They cast lots and young girl was designated for the bloody work. She turned deathly pale, but promised that the committee should be satisfied and it's sentence carried out. Two nights afterward the priest was awakened by the noise of an explosion in his daugh ter's room. He hurried to the spot and there found the g Il lying just alive al the foot of her bed. She explained thai she had been chosen by lot to murder the priest, but had preferred to kill her self rather than her father. She refused | to divulge the names of her accomplices and in Q few moments was dead.

Propagation of Goldfish.

The first practical attempt to take the spawn from live codfsh and i'm. pregnate it for matching at Fulton Market was made under the surpervi- sion of State Fish Commissioner Eugene G. Blackford, and the experiment was as successful as could be expected at this late season. The first artificial propagation of the cod On large scale was made at Gloucester in 1878, and as this fish is very scarce in the waters of Chesapeake Bay, Prof. Baird, of the United States Fish Commission, con- ceived the project of stocking them, be- lieving that the fish could he made to stay in the more southern attitudes. It Is we'll known that the cod preft Is cold water, but it is also 8 fact that 1t feturns to its native place to spawn. Prof. Baird's idea was to take live fish from New York and deposit them at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay at the spawning season, and he believed that ] the young fish would return there upon reaching maturity. He communicated with Mir. Blackford, who suggested that the eggs be taken from the fish in New York, impregnated with the milt of the male, artiicially matched, and the young fish placed in the more southern waters. This suggestion was adopted, and Ex- perts Hamlin and Sauerhof, from the United States hatchery at Washington, began taking the spawn flom the female fish and impregnating it with the milt from tn. male. Out of 250 cod which were caught of Fire Island, but thirteen ripe females were found, and these yielded about 100000 eggs. There were plenty of male fish in proper con dition. At Washington the eggs will
 be matched at the United States hatch
 cry, process requiring from twenty te
 fifty days, according to the temperature
 of the water. An examination of tho
 eggs under 8 powerful microscope
 showed that fair number of them were in fine condition, and great hopes ar' ' entertained that the experiment will b.
 successful. The small number of egg ) obtained was due to the lateness of tn season, and the fact that the fish wer , not very large. A75-pound cod yielde, } 9,1OO,OOO eggs at Gloucester in 1878 , and 21-pounder 2, 732, ,2a7. The larges of the fish manipulated weighed bu
 forty-nine pounds.

THE OLD FARM.

From the Christian Union.1 Out in the meadows the farm house lies, Old and gray, and fronting the west Many a swallow thither flies Twittering under the evening skies; In the old chimney builds her nest. Ahl how the sounds make our old hearts swell! Send them again on an eager quest; Bid tn sweet winds of heaven tell Those we have loved so long and well To come again to the dear old nest. When the gray evening, cool and still. Hushes the brain and heart to rest, Memory comes with joyous thrill. Brings the young children back at will, Calls them all home to the gray old nest. Patient we wait till the golden morn Rise on our weariness half confessed Till, with the chill and darkness gone, Hope shall arise with another dawn,f And new day to the sad old nest, Soon shall we see all the eager east bright with the Day Star, at heavens behest; Soon, from the bondage of clay released, Rise to the Palace, the Kings own feast, Birds of flight from the last years nest.

POWerless Mormon Slaves.
WHY THE SISTER SAINTS OF THE MORMON
 CHURCH SEEK NO REVENGE.

A reporter of the Boston Herald re- gently asked an ex-elder of the Mormon Church, "Don't these women ever com- bine to get revenge ?"
 "Oh, nol' was the reply. "They are utterly powerless. I know of a Mormon bishop who took a young girl for his second wife while his first wife was on her death-bed. It was very festive occasion, with one wife dying and another being duly installed. One blushing lady remarked that she thought it rather out of place, where upon the timid husband said that it was rather rough on Jane that she couldn't join them. The poor old wife died, but the husband of her youth and father of her ten children was not present at her death or burial. He was off with his young bride. 4 saint with three wives and sixteen children sought to pay his addresses to young miss. Knowing him to be poor, she said:
 sHow do you expect to support more families ? You can't we'll keep up what you have got He replied:
 "'Oh, have taken care of the old ones long enough. They must do like the chickens, turn out and scratch for themselves
 "The girl, thinking she would have f to do the same after awhile, said she proposed to scratch for herself now. When a man wants young wives, he turns the old ones out to scratch. One grief-stricken wife, finding her husband determined to take another wife, said
 "'We have been so happy together shall die if you take another
 "Hear the response
 "sDie, then Hundreds of better women than you are in their graves who died from the same cause.
 "But this is not the worst side of DO lygamy. One woman, I know, hat several sons before her husband tool another wife-these sons all good young men, The last, born after bis fathe had taken another wife, was a regula desperate. Many a time his hand
 
 were stained with the blood of his fel lows, until he was lynched for diaboli cal murder. When the poor ol mother heard of the fate of her son, sh exclaimed:
 "'Poor boy It is not his fault; it the accursed doctrine of polygamy For months before that poor boy wa born wanted to kill his fathers set ond wife. Murder was in my heart 8 the time. That poor boy has paid th penalty of his fathers crime and hi mothers sorrow Then raising hs withered hand, she cursed polygamy { only an injured wife and bereft moths , could.
 , "Could you hear the anatbemas, as
 have heard them in Utah's harems, 70 would shudder. Women curse it the
 offspring curse it. Men are now ma rying young girls twelve years ol'
 Grandmother, daughter and gran' daughter are wives of the same mal
 Three or four sisters marry the san
 husband. Men marry their nieces ar , half sisters, and are often hudoled t. gether, two or three wives and familie in one room. The fact is, polygamy barbarism, and should be wiped out
