COUNT TOLSTOPS SHOT.
ANOTHER ILLUSTRATION OF THE MORALS IN
RUSSIAN HIGH LIFE

LONDON, March 10.-Tne District Crimi-
nal Court of Samara, Gays the Stamford, re-
Gently disposed of a case WHICH is OF interest,
not only az presenting another ILLUSTRATION
OF the life and morals OF the upper ranks OF
Russian society, but because the accused,
Count n A. Tolls OF. is a brother of the Rus
sian Minister of the Interior. The crime
with which he Wss charged was an attempt
to murder. The count, wealthy landed
proprietor, who was universally esteemed
Tor his excellent personal qualities, was sup.
posed to be very happy in his domestic reia-
tions; but about couple of years ago bis
vile, lady already passed the middle years
Of life, formed a iidiSOR with a poor noble
man, NJ. de Bostrom. Count Tostoi spared
no pains to induce the countess to abandon
the Illicit connection and return to
a sense OF her duty. On the lst Of
September last accident confronted the hus-
band once more with the fsithless wife and
her seducer. As Count Tolstoi was travelling
in the train from 0renburs to Sysrsnyi, two
passengers entered the carriage in which he
was sitting at Resent suk, an intermediate
station. They were the countess aod NJ. de
Bostrom. The count once more endeavored
to persuade his wife 10 return home, but HE
remonstr ances were received with derlsion
and contempt. s ung 10. madness, he drew a
revolver and was about to FIRE at Bos rom
when the countess seized his arm, and the
shot, being diverted, only wounded the para
mour in the loot. Bostrom seized the weapon,
wres,ed il from the count aud threw it out Of
the window. At the trial the jury found a
Unanimous verdict of snot guilty" againsi
the wr0pged husband, and he was instantly
liberated, amid the enthusiastic applause oil
the crowd who had been attracted to The
court TO hear the case.

MissCiex.,s Komapca.

Everybody in st. Louis, especially lovers
of music, knows Miss Ada Clegg. She is
contralto singer of acknowledged artistic
skill, and Is a member of the church of the
Messiah. She is of medium hight, plump
and rosy, with penetrating gray eyes and
black, glossy locke. She Is what might be
termed a Gne-leoking girl. Her sister, Miss
Julia Ciegg, ID also tue singer, and the sls-
ters are both we'll known in musical circles.
Now it seems that Miss Ada Cegg has an
adorer whom she does not adore. The in.
diE.dual Is Mr.. A. A. Rizderf said TO be
printer. Miss Ciegg. dees not know him.
He is an unknown lover. For nearly five
years he has been Fostering the lady with
unsolicited correspondence. Each letter he
wrote contained pledge of his love and ST.
fiction. The letters were penned in fair
hand and worded intelligently. Rilzdorf, who
is said to be mentally affected, is deeply in
love with the contraito singer, and he threat
ems to become n1onor1 sniac in his pursuit of
her. Il appears that Ritzdorf was fret smit-
ten with LIE tender passion by hearing Mics
Clegg sing, and ever since he has annoyed her
with his love letters. At last the young lady
is really frightened, and, thinking the man a
crank, applied to Prosecuting Attorney
Claiborne for a warrant against Rilz lori
When The tender character of the annoying
letters was explained to Col. Claiborne,
the official 10 question calamity mourned
that The writing OF these letters did not con-
stitnte an ohenss under the statutes. The
young lazy then applied TO Chief of Police
Campbell. He also admitted his inability
to place Rizdorf under arrest, but he has
detailed a detective to hunt the persistent
lover up, aud have him brought before him.
During Chief Kennett's administration Miss
Clegg aud her friends made a number of
complains against Ritzdorf. Dislike to pub
Lefty, however, on the part OF the lady pre-
vented any vigorous measures being taken.
Now, however, it is probable something will
be done, i'd If there is any redress under the
law Riizdorf will have to answer for his con-
slant persecution OF the lady who has been
the victim Of his obno xinus love

Southern Cultivator for October.

We are in receipt Of the October number
of this sterling Agricultural journal, and we
feel that we can say, without being charged
with flattery to the publishers, that 1t IS the
best journal, of our knowledge. for the South
ern farmer. Its teachings and lessons are
adapted not to the farmers Of one State, but
to all Of the Southern States. 1t is in the
forty-fourth year of its existence, and in
creasing age but adds to its value and use
fulness.
In its pages are treated all matters pertain
ing to the success, comfort and happiness OF
the farmer The publishers are doing What
nearly all the proprietorS Of Southern publ
cations have failed to do, namely: employ
ing the best writers in the South to contrl-
butte to its columns. And they are thus
making the most entertaining Agricultural!
journal ever furnished the Southern people.
The October number has the usual able con-
tributions from DR.. Joues-hiS "Ihoughs
for the Month"-and the entertaining IN
ouiry Department; 'sDitchiug and Drain
age" '.Dickson's admirable papers on his
system of Farming" 'EBill APPS Common
Sense Letters" written especially for the
Cultivator, and many other articles OF great
interest.

Sen's Circus.

The long-looked for circus has come,
paraded, exhibited, gathered up all the
small and much of the big change, and
departed for other fields. Early yes
terday morning the small boy and a
great many of the older ones turned
out in force to see the street, parade,
which moved down Church street about
10 o'clock. The procession was fine
one, excelling many that have been in
Norfolk. Long before the appointed
hour for the commencement of the af-
ternoon performance thousands c'fmen,
women, and children, city and country
folks, white people and blacks, had
passed through the mammoth menag-
erie, looking at the living giraffe. herds
of elephants, the hippopotalni, two.
horned rhinoceros, tigers, hyeHas,,
lions, ETC., etc., contained thGreiIr, and
filled every seat in the tent, while
hundreds stood around, occupying all
the available space.
The ring performance WAS good, eS-
pecially the bycicle riding Of the Strike
family; the bareback feat of the daring
Orrin Hollis, and superb riding of Miss
Viola Rivers. Taken altogether the
circus Of Messrs. Sells Brothers was
way above the average, and the man
ager deserves credit. for arranging so
attractive programme and faithfully
carrying it out. The hippopotami at
tracted much attention, and when
their keeper informed the immense
concourse of people that they were
purchased at q cost of $4,000 many
looked incredulorls.
At the night pc rformance the pavilion
was literally packed, and everything
passed off witch credit and to the
amusement and pleasure of all present.
The receipts for the two perform
ances in this, city will reach at least
$1,000, much oft being contributed by
