Russian Exiles in Siberia.

Much that is erroneous prevails as to
the character of prisoners sent to Siberia
from Russia, as we'll as in regard to
| their condition and treatment in that
land of bondage. Every year the prison
ers sentenced to Siberia are collected
at Moscow, or some other central point,
and thence sent forward to their desti-
nation in parties of various sizes. They
go to the penal territory in the summer
months, or from May to October.
The vast crowd that assembled last
May at Moscow aggregated about
$4,000 persons, and yet it was
affirmed by careful statisticians that
probably not more than 1000 of
these were sentenced to hard
labor. There are several facts to be
borne in mind in regard to the criminals
who are banished to Siberia, the nature
of the crimes for which they are con-
victed, and the character of their pun.
ishment. In Russia there is no capital
punishment, except for treason or
crimes of that nature. The courts
sentence criminals to the mines in
Siberia, to service as laborers at for
tresses, to imprisonment at home, to
banishment to the COLONIES in Siberia,
or to lighter punishment in reforma-
tory institutions. The convicts sent
to the mines in Siberia are the
most hardened persons, such as
murderers, etc. The life led by that
class in the mines is said to be deplora-
BILE beyond anything in any other
country. Persons who have been con-
victed of ordinary penitentary offenses
are sent to the penal colonies, and their
families have the privilege of accom-
panying them. It is stated that many
yagrants are sent to these colonies.
There the colonists, as the prisoners
may be called, are under the supervision
OF the government, and are given land
and allowed the proceeds of their own
labor. 1t is claimed that this system
has been attended with excellent results,
these colonists becoming prosperous and
forming orderly, thriving settlements,
and doing much to develop the country
and civilize the natives. More than one
half the population Of Siberia is com
posed of banished Russians or the de-
scendants of exiles. A few facts may
be of interest in reference to the crimes
committed and the number of convic-
tions secured. OF the persons arrested
for or accused of crime, about seventeen
per cent. are convicted and sentenced.
OF the number of convicted, about two
per cent. are sentenced to hard labor in
Siberia, about four per cent. to exile iu
the Siberian colonies, about twelve per
cent. to labor in forts, about twenty
five per cent. to imprisonment, and the
remainder to lighter punishments. It
should be added that, besides the
families of exiles, some go to Siberia as
volunteer emigrants.

Several interesting archaeological
"fnds' in Europe are reported. Near
Caltarisetta, Sicily, several caverns
have been found, which are evidently
burial places dating from the period
when the ancient Sicilians had already
been ousted by the italian tribes, but
before the Greek colonization had be-
gun. At Nordup, Denmark, the re-
mains of seven human bodies have been
found under a few feet of pumice stone,
numerous bronze objects, gold rings,
Roman glasses, mosaics, glass beads,
ETC., being also discovered among the
remains.

A frequent visitor to this region says
that he has found much to interest
him here. He has almost come to have
a nodding acquaintance with certain
queer old women who become family
visible in odd doorways; and some OF
the street boys. marking his repeated
presence, have comm ented quietly but
profanely on the circumstance. One of
the most melancholy characteristics of
this district, and other such districts in
different parts of the metropolis, is the
forlorn and neglected condition of the
old. WitA all the foul air, scanty food
and exposure, people are found here who
live too look back over fourscore years
and ten; wrinkled, yellow and stopped
old women, perhaps tottering about
with stick, holding a dirty infant in
their bony arms, or heaping curses
on wretched Youngsters who annoy
them. Occasionally there is seen some
decent old woman, a somewhat re-
spected granny" but most, with their
oaths and dirt and rags, seem as if they
had grown up and had some mysterious
association in character with the
crumbling, sooty and unsavory walls
about them. The old men are seldom
seen ia the immediate locality. In
the morning they become the motive
power of hand-carts and disappear in
the din of the city. Or perhaps
they are dodging the coal wagons
with shovels over their shoul-
ders, or selling lead pencils or
brooms, or announcing in some busy
thoroughfare the superiority Of certain

OUR DEAD.
By ADELAIDE PRocToi

By ADELAIDE PkOCTOh.
Nothing is our own; We hold our pleasures
Just little while, ere they are fed
One by one, life robs US Of our treasures;
Nothing il our own except our dead.
They are ours, and hold in faithful keeping,
Safe forever, all they took away.
Cruel life can never stir that sleeping.
Cruel time can never seize that prey.
Justice pales; truth fades; stars fall from heaven
Human are the great whom We revere;
No true crown Of honor can be given,
Till we place 1t on funeral bier.
How the children leave us, and no traces
Linger of that smiling angel band;
Conc, forever gone; and in their places
Weary men and anxious women stand.
Yet we have some little ones, still ours;
They have kept the baby smile we know
Which We kissed one day, and hid with flowers,
On their dead white faces, long ago.
When our Joy is lost-and life will take it
Then no memory Of the past remains;
Save with some strange, cruel sting, to make IL
Bitterness beyond all present palms.
Death, more tender hearted, leaves to sorrow
stin the radiant shadow fond regret;
We shall md, in s51ne far bright tomorrow
Joy that he has taken, living yet.
Is love ours, and do we dream we know it,
Bound with all our heartstrings, and our own
Any cold and cruel dawn may show it,
Shattered, desecrated, overthrow.
Only the dead hearts forsake us never;
Deaths last kiss has been the mystic sign
Consecratlng Love our own forever,
Growing 1t eternal and divine
So when Fate would fain besiege our city.
Dim our gold, or make our flowers fall.
Death, tho Angel, comes In love and pity,
And, to save our treasures claims them all

WILLIAM E. CAMERON.

Commissioner Raum reports $67 1853 ,97499
tax collected during the last fiscal year from
domestic distilled spirits. This large amount
was realized from tax of 30 cents on the gal
Ion. Referring to this matter, and the fact
that whiskey can better bear a tax than any
ether article of luxury the Washington Re
publican says:
There is no lack of uses for the revenue SO
raised. five do not need it for one purpose
we do for another. Senator Logan seems to
have hit upon perhaps the best and most ap-
propriate use of the revenue in question. He
has introduced bill to appropriate and ex-
pend the entire income derived from the in
ternal revenue taxes On the manufacture and
sale OF distilled spirits for the education of all
the children living in the United s tates, which
bill provides that the national school fund thus
created shall be distributed among the several
States and Territories pro rata according to
the census statistics of illteracy but prohibits
any State or Territory from receiving the pro-
posed benefits which does not provide by local
enactment that all children between the ages
Of seven and twelve years shall attend school
at least six months in each year.
Evidently in this new departure" the Sen
ator has shown most excellent way" to
utilize the whiskey tax he would have it go
to increase the facilities for the education of
the rising generation. who will SO soon be the
rulers of the Republic; to advance the stand
ard OF intelligence throughout our country
to give to the children Of the poor man (often
poor only because of his intemperance) the
means of eleyating themselves in position and
usefulness in the community.
The idea is most happy one, and there is
no end to the good that might be said of it.
