This terror is the CHEF cause of the
irritation and di~affection felt by the
Russians against the Emperor. They
are irritated and humiliated at seeing
a Sovereign Of 81 years of age MAX
ing a prisoner of himself in the midst
of his vast Empire. He scarcely
dnrps to take a walk in the parks Of
Gatchina and Peterhof. If perchance
he Ices take a walk, the ne2t day the
newspapers announce it as an event.
1t is due, no doubt, to the same
causes that the coronation has grown
more and more uncertain yet if it
does not take place before the end of
the year the Emperor will fall in the
estimation of the nation. All Empe-
rors have been crowned during the
first year,, and we are now in the
second year of the new reign. At
Moscow people have long expected
the ceremony to be performed. Usu-
ally when the coronation takes place
all the foreign Princes and Ambassa-
doris hire houses in which to take up
their abode and give festivities, and
for eight months beforehand the houS-
es which are suitable for this pur-
pose are scarce. Well, with the eX-
ceptlon of the English Ambassador,
who took a house in Moscow in Feb
ruary, no other parsonage has hired
a residence, and it is therefore con
cluded that the coronation will not
take place. To Ignatieff, again, is
attributed this resolution Of the EN-
peror, which formed part OF the Minis
ter's petty e%vasions. At Moscow, as
throughout Russia, it is now hoped
that his fall will lead to The coronation
that is to say, to the reconciliation Of
the Gar and the nation on the foot
ing of mutual confidence.
Thus is explained the delight, both
Of the Russians and Of Europe, at the
fall Of a Minister whom nobody ever
approached without a feeling Of there
being IA desire TO deceive him.
This general satisfaction accordingly
shows that all nations agree il admir-
ing honour and straightforwardness,
and that they still place and respect
character above talent.

Ignatietf's fall are not clear. The
Russians, indeed, say he vas dragg-
ing the Empire to ruin; but this would
scarcely account for the satisfaction
outside Russia. The Jews on their
side say that Ignatieff's policy with
regard to them was execrable, which
is true. But this does not explain
the universal satisfaction either.
There are or must be other reasons.
The Jews have certainly every
ground for delight. Ignatieff, from
malice, weakness, perhaps race ha-
tired, if he did not foment persecu-
ton, allowed it to spread with terri
bic cynicism. For months, on tie
advice of Count Schouvaloff, the
Jews had been soliciting a Ukase
from the Emperor, to be read in all
churches, %forbidding the assaultlng,
massacring, and ~pilIaging Of them.
For, strange to say, the peasants had
been led to believe that the Emperor
allowed the Jews to be ill-treated
from 8 to 6 o'clock; and a peasant
who was arrested as he was beating
a Jew was astonished "because it
was only 4 o'clock" Well, formonths
General Ignatieff prevented the En-
peror from publishing the Ukase,
which, at the outset, would have 8uf-
feed to put a stop to the atrocities.
Why did he prevent him? 1t is
said that he had learnt that the
Jews intended offering him 2,000,0 900
roubles in order to get him to protect
them, and that he wished to goad
them into offering the money,so as to
have the glory-for in / usSia such
a thing would have been glorious
of declining them. He said some
time AGO to a Russian, "There are
2,O00,000 roubIes deposited by the
Jewsto bride me" General" replied
the other, "the Jews are not so stupid.
They know YOU are not to be brlbed."
And meanwhile the General prevent
ed anything being done for their pro-
lection. The Jews are therefore m
ply justified in rejoicing over his fall
but this legitimate satisfaction does
not account for that of everybody
else. Whence does this latter arise?
1t must be because there is univer-
sal antipathy for a man whose pre-
sence in office was a constant men
ace, who had never been candid with
any body, and who belonged to the
so-called explosive" class of states
men-men governed partly by events,
partly by prejudices, and never safe
from an outbreak. He had no liking,
moreover, for the high position he
had grasped. He had gained an as
cendancy over the Emperor by arti-
flee, and his great anxiety was to mis-
lead his Sovereign. His influence
had increased through inducing the
Emperor to visit Moscow and some
other towns, and pretending hal his
own great popularity had enabled
him to conduct the Emperor safely
without an escort. The latter did not
consider that he set out secretly like
a fugitive, and that his safety was
due to q kind Of incognito much more
than to Ignatief's popularity or ar
rangements. Ignatieff had raised the
spy system to a pitch hitherto I'M
known. Letters were opened in the

THE FUTURE LIFE.
The Views for W hIch the Rev. j. II. VIII.
cox, of Chicago, Has Been De-
elared UBOrIh0d0x.

CHICAGO, December I3.-The Rev. J.
Fletcher Wilcox, pastor of the First Presby-
terian church OF this city, has been deliver
ing 4 series Of lectures on "The Problems Of
a Future Life" and the doctrines which he
put forth IN these have given cause for an
estrsngemsnt between him and his people
The people do not like the pastors doctrines
regarding future life, and do not want him
10 continue the lectures. but he ia in no way
inclined to leave the course unfinished. They
think such lectures should not be given in
the church, because they have a tendency to
weaken the faith Of their fathers, but here
Mr.. Wilcox does not agree with them,
In an interview Mr.. Wilcox admitted that
he stood pretty much alone in his doctrine
of future life. He did moi believe in the
natural or inherent Immortality OF man, but
maintained that Immortality or eternal life
was the life of God, through faith in Jesus
Christ and welI-doing. Hence he did not
believe in an eternal hell, but in the abso-
lutte destruction of the wicked. He claimed
this was in accordance with the Scriptures
and with common sense; that the virtuous
and upright alone were entitled to and would
receive Immortality. The wages of sin is
death, according TO the Bible The question
was whether the Bible meant what il said.
Mr.. Wilcox said he had believed and
preached this doctrine twenty-five years, and
the FIRST Christian church was aware of his
views when he was elected pastor last spring.
The doctrine was simply the survival Of the
fttest.
A multitude OF ministers throughout En-
gland and this country were adopting the
same views on future life He mentioned
among those who held such views Prof. Ives,
formerly of Yale College; the late Prof.
Hudson, and the Rev. DR.. Lyman Abbott,
| editor OF the Christian Union. 10 the Chris
tian or Campbellite denomination, each
Church Ia independent in government and
doctrine, yet there is a general faith peryad-
ing the Church, and the views of Mr.. Wilcox
| are not in harmony with the general tenets
of the Canpbelliies. What will be The out
come of the breach is hard to determine
The Church does not seem to be inclined 10
go with the pastor, nor does the pastor in.

proffrred hand, but when he stepped closer
she drew back and refused to hold any COM
munication with him. She asked her attor-
ney il she was free. He answered, yes"
Her husband then offered her sealskin
cloak She declined IT, Collins then at
tempted to cit beside her. She drew away
her chair, and said she would hold further
converse at her lawyers office. DR.. An
drews, before leaving the room, shook hands
with Mrs. Collin1, saying he hoped she had
no fault to find with the ASYLUM authorities. |
She answered, "No. doctor, had none after

me that l was not as yet represented as
