From Samara, one of the most tlourishing
towns in the Volga Government, is reported
the following tragical incident, painfully IL
Illustrative of the baneful influence exercised
over overwrought nature in Russia by the
Nihilistic propaganda: Some weeks ago a
popular preacher in one of the Samara Orth-
odox churches gave deep umbrage to the
Revolutionary Committee of that city by
recalling, with fervent eloquence, the assas-
sination of Alexander Ii. to the remembrance
Of his congregation and vehemently inyeigh-
ing against the murderers Of the Gar. A
few hours later the Committee held 4 meet
ing for the purpose of deciding what pun
ishment should be inflicted upon the Offend
ing priest for his inflammatory uttcrances.
After some discussion the committee resolved
that he should be put to death, and its mem
bers drew lots for the eXecutiOner's office,
which fell to girl of seventeen, affiliated to
the organization only a days previously. Up
on drawing the fatal lot she exhibited some
agitation, but, speedily collecting herself,
accepted the murderous mission with the
words, "The committee will have reason to
be satisfied with the manner i'll which its
degree will be carried OUT Next morning
the doomed priest was awakened, shortly
after daybreak, by the report OF tire-arm,
discharged in room contiguous to his own
bed-chambe. Upon entering the room III

herself to take his life, in obedience to the
orders of Secret Committee, but had PREFER

Vitality Of Serpsnts.

In almost every country curious be-
lief exists, in some form or other, that n
serpent will not die before shutdown,
however mutilated it may be. Perhaps
the great tenaeity of nervous vitality
common to all the lower or so-called
cold-blooded animals-as evinced by
their vigorous contortions after dccapi-
tation, and even muscular quiverings of
the discovered portions which cut into
pieces -may account for this. \ huge
Python molurus has been known to
snatch torch out of coolies hands
and shake it to pieces after its body was
cut in two and the anterior kalf trans
fixed with a sword. And everywhere
poisonous snakes abound ii will be found
that some particular tribe Of Indians or
religious sects or other people are re-
puted to have the power, by means of
incubation or otherwise, to prepare their
bodies so as to render them proof
against the effects of the venom. and are
thus enabled to handle dangerous SER
penis with impunity. But alas! when
we come to investigate these ION the
face)by no means impossible orvery i'm
probable tales, we soon meet with y
tissue of nonsense which throws one
| back in disappointment and disgust.
Thus, Nine. La Rarca, in her book on
Mexico, says that injections of the rat
t.esnake's venom into the veins is prac-
ticed there, the result being that the
inoculated one is not only protected
from the bite of all venomous animals,
| but has the power of inilicting a fatal
, bite himself! think Pliny attributes
some such process with the scorpion's
poison to his African ''psyll,o or ser

OF Minnesota, is a stalwart of the
stalwarts in his devotion to the prin-
ciples of his party. He is an elderly
person, being just about GO years of

the public ever since 1854. His dis
trict sends him to Congress with
big Republican majority at his back.
In a recent debate, to be found in
the Congressional Record of Feb. "a,

the line of his party. He said: 81

Good Advice.
Enfield Sentinel

Enfield SENTINEL
Our farmers should grow at home,
this year, as many of the necessaries
OF life as possible. Let them sell
more and buy less. Let them use
the hard cash for what they need at
home in their families and let them
avoid, as far as possible, running in
debt. We believe our farmers should
raise more grain. We have the
best lands for corn, oats and other
grain, yet we find out people buy.
ing corn from Cincinnati, Norfolk
and Richmond, and even bolted meal
is sold here in car load lots and re.
tailed to those who should be selling
corn instead of buying meal. We
do not say plant short crops of cot
ton. Cotton suits our soil and as a
general thing the land will yield
more in cotton than anything else.
But We can never know anything
about the price of this staple until it
is thrown on the market. 1t may be
up to day and down tomorrow, lust
as the bulls and bears of the market
may wish. We think it but right
for our farmers to raise good crops of
cotton; but at the same time let them
raise their corn, meat, oats, ETC., for
home consumption, and then the
money they get for their cotton will
go into their pockets for a rainy day,
and not for something to eat.

A Blessing in Diquise.

Milledgeville (Ga.) Recorderl
On every hand we hear men say,
"this is going to be mighty hard
year on the poor farmers. They
have, most of them, no provisions on
hand to run their farms this year, no
money to buy them, and but little if
any credit" This outlook, at the
first glance, does seem gloomy one;
but it may be blessing in disguise,
and bear fruit of the richest flavor
in the end. If the hard lesson the
year shall teach makes the farmer
live more at home and spend less
abroad, it will be an invaluable one.
Most farmers have been just one
year behind ever since tho war. How
are they ever to catch up and get
even if they do not practice self.
denial and change their farming
mothodsf When they make the
food crops the main dependence,
and the cotton crops a secondary
reliance, they will throw that ugly
one year behind, clear out of the
way, and their progress will be
steady and sure.
