pIyo Hundred OF tho Delegates visit the
uiant's Uauscwsy.
After DR.. Breed had presented his ~.
port to the an-Prcs6yteriau council the
meeting adopted resolutions IN which 1t
was stated that the council was specially
gratitied at the report. II was then
approved. Efforts were made to raise
81, 900 in behalf Of the ancient MOraviIu
and Bohemian churches. The council
heard with lively satisfaction statements
as to tho condition of tho churches in
Europe aud America, aud asked for the
general support aud prayers of tho
stronger churches of the allIauco in their
behalf.
Tue members of the Pan Presbyterian
council and party Of friends numbering
five hundred IN all made u visit to the
Giants Causoway. An enjoyable day was
marred by al accident which happened To
the Rev. David Irving, secretary Of the
American Pres byteriau board OF foreign
missions, who fell from a car aud had a
leg broken while driving to pOrtrush
Hsf starved for Thirty Years.
A sensational trial was concluded ut
Moscow a few days ago, resulting ia a
sentence of deportation to Siberia against
woman named Bulakh, for keeping q Iich
gOvcrness, in state of wretchcd contue-
meut aud semi starvation for nearly 80
years, IN order to obtain possession of the
fortune of 10000. Bulakh WAS gOyeruess
to Mazurin, the girl, in the house of the
latter's grandmother in Moscow. Under
fear Of being forced into an unhappy union
and though various other pretcXts invcut-
cd Oy Bulakh, the glrl was Induced
to run away with her scheming gOverness
TO the town Ot Releit, where, by diut of
religious terrorism aud eXhOTtatiOn to take
the veil, the weak minded though aeon
Plished pupil was gradually reduced - q
state OF helpless imbecility. The girl, now
a woman Ot 10, was at times brought so
| low that sEo ate pieces of the hrewuOd
| brought into her room. Having reduced
her to a state of drvoling idioey and got
| hold of her money, Bulakh then did all
| she could To persuade her victim 10 comm
| suicide. As u Bulakh herself, she lived
well, built almshOuses, aud helped her
| two sons 20 become rich The sUrauEeSt
part of the story is that the governor and
! society of iejeh, to whom the truth OF
| the case had been more or less evident for
seven years, S. Ould 50 long have REGARDED
the crime of Buakh with Indifference.
The poor victim, Mazurln, was not in a
condition to DO brought into Caurt.
Bulakh's only defense seems To have been
that the accusation was conspiracy
against her, and that Mazuru had always
been insane. She has given notice of an
appeal, and has been set at liberty on bail
for 200 600 rubes.

| excited over several remarkable cures, said

hour, and walked across the room, and has

Plant. That Live Upon Eisn.
Professor Baird of tho national museum
Washington, has received from Englaud
specimen of an aquatic fish eating plan
known as the great bladderwort, whicl
has been discovered TO be peculiarl
destructive to young fish. The plant i
large, has no roots, but floats free il
tho water, aud its leaves bear small
bladders which entrap the fish fry. lively
or fifteen species Of the plant arc founI
within the limits of the United States, anI
it abounds in tho Fish Commission carl
ponds in Washington, whore it has beer
introduced at considerable labor anC
expense, having been heretofore re
garded as excellent fish food. ProieSso
Baird will warn carp cuIturists TO destro
the plant wherever found, as he believes
that millions Of fry must be annually
caught in tho little bladder traps.
