"NEM KUssIA I"

The New York Herald, which claims to be
an oracle on foreign affairs, gives a descrip-
ton Of the government of "New Russia"
meaning we suppose the Russia of the present
Gar, whose reign begins with his coronation.
1t says:
"But there is n form of self-government
which Is indigenous to Russia. 1t is the most
wonderful portion of the empire. IL is port
ent whic astonishes travellers and historians,
standing solitary in the midst of n great despot-
ism. IL is the village republic, the association
Of peasants, owning the soil in common, ruled
by their own elders, making their own laws,
holding their own courts licensed to fine and
fog 10 condemn offenders to Siberia to do
what they will within their own confines, by a
mere vote of the majority. 1t is the safe
guard of the empire, and those who are too
ready to lend an ear to the grievances of the
Nihists and who believe the Russian system
of government TO be wholly unsound must
think of these rural cOmmunes, whose liberty
has no parallel in the world"
We know as much after reading this fluent
description about the Government of Russia
as we knew before, and there is as much I'M
known, which we shall have to keep over for
the Herald's future treatment. The fact is,
there is nothing in this description comprehen-
sble to an American. What we know of Rus
STA is that its government is constituted of the
despotic will of the sovereign. This "won-
derful portion Of the empire" like the rest, we
presume, has that tenure and no other. What
ever license the association of peasants is al
lowed is sufferance merely and is, doubtless,
at all times under curb bit. There is nc
hope for Russia, none of parliament or con :
stitution, nor of any recognition of individual
rights. The outcome will probably be a new
crop of Nhilists for Siberia and the scaffold.
A New Russia" is yet an enthusiasts dream

CHALK AND CHEESE AS sANIrIvEs.

We have seen some cheese statistics some
where, possibly in some grocers' circular or
reporter, which establish cheese as a great
sanitary agent. 1t was shown in the interest
of cheese men, that the English and Ameri-
cans are the great cheese eaters Of the world,
but while 100000 Englishmen consume
900, 600, 900 pounds cheese yearly, 50, 900, 900
of Americans get away with but 200, 600, goo
pounds ergo, as the average Englishman is
muchonger lived than the average American,
TIE latter has nothing to do but consume more
cheese and live. But there is chalk ques-
ton which reasonably comes up, in justice to
the chalk industry, on which we have seen no
figures. But it is known that Englishmen
drive and walk on chalk roads, and dwell
among chalk hills, and breathe an a,mos-
pheric solution Of chalk, which Americans do
not; ergo, chalk is great sanitive, and the
American has nothing to do but make chalk
roads, and build chalk mansions, and live.
But how about the honest Teuton, who OUT
lives both and knows nothing about either
SfNNNN
rub. The fact is that it's just possible
long life depends on other conditions, and
not upon either chalk or cheese. 1t may be
that the Englishman begins life at the begin
ming, while the American never gets ready to
live till towards its end. 1t is known to OBJ
serving minds that when an American settles
down for quiet life his death invariably en-
sues within a few weeks or months after (;
whereas the Englishman has been living a
quiet life just on the spot where his father and
grandfather had lived quiet lives before him,
and has never thought it necessary that he
should take any hand in the general manage
ment OF creation. Hence his nervous system
is adapted to healthy uses, and not, as the
Amencan's, worn out early by unhealthy
abuses This cause characterizcs both Teuton
and Englshman, and is quite as likely to
have something to do with Longevity as either
chalk or cheese.

A. Oakley HALL, the present editor and
proprietor of the New York Truth, was Mayor
of New York in the memorable days OF
Tweed, and Grand Cockloram of the Ring.
No mans stars could be more propitious than
were Oakley Halls in the crisis Of that des-
perate fortune which consigned William M.
Tweed to a felon's doom. The great Tweed
charter, which was to have been got through
the Legislature and which caused Tweed to
buy the Senate almost bodily, vested Tweed,
Oakley Hall and Connolly with absolute pow
ers Of expenditures, being made auditors of
their own accounts. Such an enormous trust
is incredible. Yet, but for the diligence and
astuteness OF sammy Tilden, the triumvirs
would have assuredly been in possession Of
that stupendous authority. Tweed made a
clean disclosure OF the whole thing. The
purpose, he declared, of the bribery was to get
through the charter. 1t was only because his
statements were never adequately confirmed
that Oakley Hall was not charmed home from
London through ertradtion. Perhaps mo-
mentous sigh Of relief may cause Oakley to
feel as comfortable and as content 10 the
editorial sapctum OF Truth as he would have
felt in the role OF a Tweed triumvir.

In ABOUT 1873 Col. VIM. II . McCardle
was designated by the Legislature of Missis-
sippi as the officer to be entrusted with COM
pilng the military war records of that State.
In green old age, which seemed to have
taken edge from life Of political disappoint-
ments, Mac was exactly the man for the duty
and entered upon it, we are aware, with no
apparent obstacles in his way. He had been
chosen unanimously without division, or a
ballot, and viewed it as a labor of delight.
We are quite at loss to assign any cause for
the absence OF such book from Col. McCar-
die as would do great honor to himself and
the late Conlederacy. An experienced writer
practised in all the qualifications essential for
the discharge of his high duties, it yet does
not appear that they have been performed
That adequate cause exists we know, and as
no compensation was provided it is not I'M
likely that Col. McCardle found his disability
ir that strange oversight. We should be glad
to know if it is so.
