SIBERIAN ExILEs.
Mr.. KEENAN, COrreets Many False State.
ments as 20 Their Treatment.

Mr.. George KEENAN,, author of Tent Life in
Siberia delivered lecture on Siberia in
New York on Tuesday last. From the
Worlds report we learn that he said that if
the United States and every country in
Europe, except Russia, were put into Sibsris,
there would still remain 100000 square
miles uncovered, and that broad belt of
land extending from the southern part of
Siberia to what was known as the Central
Forest was one OF the most fertile and genial
places in the Russian empire. The idea
that exile life 10 Siberia is one of suffering
in dungeons, aud that political agitators
suffer untold miseries in mines, is all mis-
take. "The Russian government" he said,
I'm The beginning sent out its prisoners TO
Siberia in order to settle the country. Good
homes were provided and farming utensils
given 10 the exiles, and such is the case
to-day. There are two divisions in the exilee
the first of which will designate as convicts,
and the second as those simply banished.
The first class work in the western part of
the fertile tract / have alluded to. There
are no exiles in any OF the very cold parts of
Siberia. The only convicts who work in
mines are men wno, had they committed the
same crimes in America, would either
have been hanged or banished for
life. The second have farms which
they cultivate for themselves in the
are descendants of exiles, who were banished
long ago Tor very small ofenses. The num-
Der of political prisoners is very small
From 1867 TO 1872 81, 225 people were sent
to Siberia; $500 were sentenced to hard
i labor, and the rest were only banished.
There are annually about 443 political Of
lenders transported two-thirds of these are
mobiles and one-third Of the other classes. So
tbs proves that nihilism is not a popular
uprising against the Russian government
Tomsk and Omsk are two of the wealthiest
places 10 Siberia, and most of the political
prisoners are sent there. Omsk has 10000
inhabitants, 452 merchants, public library,
a boys military school and q ladies' semi
nary. l visited one of the political exiles,

THE NORTHERN
TTae First Successful Settlers I'm America
AN Interesting sketch.

The Rev. w. NJ. Blackburn, DID,. deliy-
cred lecture on the Mortimer in America
before Columbus" before the Young Mems
Christian Association of Cincinnati, under
the direction of the Lecture COMMITTEES.
He stated that the Mortimer trod this con-
tinent 492 years ahead of Columbus, and at
the very time when his forefathers al Geneva
we're trembling lest other Norsemen should
burn their town as Harold had burned one
in Sicily, and that was by catching the town
birds as they few out to the forest, tying to
them splinters of dry wood we'll tarred and
sulphured, and setting them on FIRE. The
poor birds few like winged rockets TO their
nests in the matched houses, and the town
WAS soon in j blaze. The ancestors of Co.
lumbus, 500 years before him, must have
heard dreadful things Of the Norsemen, aud
to Europe. He dwelt upon the char
acter OF the Norsemep, their influence
in Europe, over Russia, France and Great
Britain. He related their character for
war and plundering; their success upon the
sea, and their wonderful voyages of dis
covery. He referred infinitely to their set
Element in Iceland, and the occupation of
Greenland, together with their sea voyages
along the Eastern coast of the United States,
OF their settlement at Mariha's Vineyard and
other points of New England. He praised
Tic OA the IuQdBlidutb Oh 1CcIdDu
for good behavior, their industries and their
endeavor to live Christian lives. He eulo-
gized the Mortimer for having built their
churches and establishing their schools, their
literature being far in advance of England.
In $50 Eric the Red brought a colony 10
Greenland from Iceland. He was confirmed
heather. His son, Leif Ericsson, made
voyage TO Norway, was favorably received;
he was converted, baptized, and intent upon
bringing the gospel to his people. About the
year 1000 he returned TO Greenland, taking
with him 4 priest The colonists accepted
quite heartily. The settle
ments increased and fourishea. In one
district alone there were ninety farms
and four churches; in another
100 farms, eleven churches. two towns,
three monasteries, one cathedral. Six
teen bishops, one succeeding another, pre-
sided over the church in Greenland. The
Northmen were there $50 yezrsi Certainly
the first Christian people on the Western
Conti7ent, on which was q church $50 years
ago, at the very time when William, the
Norman, was conquering England, and just
before Peter, the hermit, was rousing Europe
10 the first crusade. DR.. Blackburn dEelt
upon the different discoveries of this won
ierful people upon our Eastern coast, all of
which was exceedingly interesting. BE

despair, and hoped through all their trials for

warmed the hearts of those Greenisnders

which bloom in the brighter world.

tiuued: 81 am afraid he will invent some

Says Mr.. Watterson, in the Courier journal,
in concluding review of The Modern Hagar
Though essentially plea for woman, il is
a strong and eloquent and at the same time
a most enlightened plea for the South. There
is no begging OF issues. The truth is told
uugrudgingly. A mind and heart essentially
Southern apply TO the melancholy story of
the South a mature experience of life and q
wide knowledge OF the world. Our attention
was FIRST directed to the book by elaborate
criticisms in the New York Tribune and the
New York Times, which, while assAiling its
political bias, admitted the merits we nave
here claimed for it. We have therefore

Where is the doodlebug that erst
When blushing, fragrance-breathing flowers
Wooed back by ApriPs kindly showers.
Beamed gladly forth from Flcra's bowers
Where is the doodlebug, we say,
That burst
All into life and toiled away
Through sand and sun of summer day?
Where is the gauzy. white pekay
Which, when the spring, serene and warm,
Succeeded wintry wind and storm,
Bedecked the average female form
where that huted, biased thing,
We pray.
Thai with the advent of each spring,
The beaux admire and poets sing
Gone like fevered summer-dream-
Gone like the soon-forgotten lay
Gone like the friends Of yesterday

But, when the vernal breeze, and rain,
And beam
Refresh the hillside and the plain,
The two will come-win come againi
