1863 the peasantry are prOprietors
of their wretched holdings by
an ukase Of the late Emperor, but
what his majesty could not confer,
were the qualities TO make the boon
fructify, namely. the spirit Of order,
economy and foresight. Before be-
ing emancipated the Polish peasant
was a sluggard and drunkard.
Since he has become his own lord
and master he a ks less and drinks
more-that is all the difference.
His home is sty his children at
tend no school; his wife works in
the field; their food is struggle
against famine; their clothing rags.
If the peasant keeps his plat OF
land it is because the law fOrbids
him to sell il. He has no credit,
save at the dram shop, and that only
if the state of the crops be good.
Oddly enough, the large pro-
prietOrS, freed from the charge
of worthless tenantry, have
become positively wealthy; they
have concentrated their capital, in
telligence and the practical advan-
tageS of science to the ameliOra-
ton of their estates. The Russian
cabmen never beat their horses, and
the latter go twice as rapidly as
those of Paris; they caress their
horses as old friends, and calling
them German or Jew, are the only
epithets employed. In Warsaw the
Jews must have their hair cut fol-
lowing a certain standard. Close

taking place in France.
Two statues have recently been
inaugurated to Roget de Elsie, the
composer of the M1TSeiLtGiSe.
One where he died in poverty
for national neglect, and the
other in his native town, to celebrate
his glory. Among other statues
down on the roster is one of NJ. de
