missing with diamonds belonging to variou,
Boston firms and private customers valued
at large sum. Poppelhower was trusted
by the jewellers of this city almost implicitly

jewelry firms and request the LOAF
of some diamonds, which he said he said h,
could sell to good advantage. There are
large number of anxious inquirers for him
1t is supposed he has gone to San Francisco
where he has friends. 1t is almost impossible
to state the amount of his swindling opera

held, that had lent him $4,000 to S15, 00t

incendiarism and lawlessness of a certain ele,
ment of the striking miners is growing more
serious; in fact, something has TO be done,

Lord Lytton has wisely determined to limit
his biography of his father to four valumes,
two of which have already appeared. The Pail
Mall Gazette says: Life is too short for six
volume biographies" And yet the Dickens
biography, counting not only Forsters Life,
but the letters also-and them any life
would be incomplete-is easily a slX-Volume
biography.
Lord Lytton tells an amusing story of an
answer of Fuseli to a materialist, who said to
him in discussion, iYou assert, then, that
have an immortal soulF' ''Sir," replied Fuseli,
II have asserted nothing of the kind. What
assert is that 1 have an immortal soul" In the
same way Bulwer's conviction was, as his son
tells us, 'inseparable from the sense of his own
vigorous personality"
The Rev. James B.. Kennedy, in describing a
visit to Boston in June, 1881, in the Syracuse
Christian Advocate, tells the following anec
dote: "One day a knock was heard at the door,
which Mr.. Longfellow answered in person. The
poet at once recognized his visitor, both by his
accent and dress, as a Western rustic. AS his
custom was, Mr.. Longfellow invited the man to
step in. Once fairly in the house, the fellow
gazed curiously around him, and at last said: is
this the house that George Washington once
occupiedP Mr.. Longfellow answered.: 1T is.
We'll, by the way said the rustic, might l ask
who the party is that occupies it at PRESENT.
Certainly, replied the poet. my name is Long
fellow ~'Longfeller, Longfeller" drawled the
'sinew of the West you don't mean Henry w.
Longfellow2' That is my name answered the
poet. We'll, 1 yum! said the rustic. that beats

died before Washington was born"

A person who attracted much attention from
the fact that a fine black moustache bloomed on
the upper lip, while the body was attired in fe-
male apparel, arrived at Castle Garden yesterday
on the steamer Elbe, A brother of the person
said; 'He is my sister. She is a woman from
the waist down, but a mar above. His name is
Frederick Ross, and he was born in Dantzic,
Prussia. Since the day Fred was born he has
never spoken a word, nor can he understand any
thing that is said to him. He can hear, how
ever, where an ordinary person cannot, and has
often signiied to us that "a person was approach
ing whose footsteps We could not hear for some
minutes afterward." Fred is a repulsive looking
being, with large, bony and horribly manned
hands, while his feet are exceedingly small and
well-shaped. His mother, who accompanied her
two sons here, is a healthy, we'll formed woman,
and seems to admire her unfortunate son. In
Prussia Fred attained fame for his graceful
dancing, and the ladies frequently overlooked
him. The party are bound for Detroit, where
the father resides, in good circumstances.

HOW IT Is DONE IN RUSSIA.
Points of Difference Between Popular Gov
eminent and One-Man Power.


eminent and One-Man Power.
G.. NJ Clay, in Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
Nihilism does not bloom in a day, and its
fruit is not yet ripe. Let us compare our boosted
best government in the world with the Rus
sian tyranny
First-There are not steam mills in Russia
grinding, in open day, terra alba and other
"",SI.@us elements for our iood. =.
Second-Poison in Russia can only De 9oughC
| m hroner ceI+iacates, which affords at least a
clew to murder.
ThIrd-Houses of prostitution are not pointed
out IN 2 <housand ways, as through OIL secular
and r~ensIous press, or such facilities gwen
through advertisements as increase the soD- '"i
evil, which by nature is certainly strong enough.
Fourth-Should a clergyman violate the chas-
tity of his parishioners there, he would not be
backed up by other clergymen in the murder of
the victims, to shield the purity of the gown and
save the credit of the church.
fifth-Obscene literature, which now more
corrupts the youth of our country than all the
pulplts can restore, is not allowed to flourish
alongside Sunday-schools and missionary socie-
ties.
~Sixth-There it is possible to get something
pure in the menu and in the drug store. Cleo
margarine is not allowed 10 be sold as butter,
nor tea, dyed with green coloring, and mustard,
filled with cabbage seed or bean-meal and pois-
onous coloring. Cheese is not made of the fat of
diseased cattle, dead without the aid of the
butcher. L give but a point in this horrid direc-
ton.
Seventh-The most ignorant and corrupt men
are not systematically put on juries tosuppress
crime! The judges are not chosen by the roughs
and Nihilists! The whole force of law is in the
suppression of crilne-not towards the suppress
sion of honesty.
~Eighth-Men are put in office because they are
worthy-not because they have a criminal fol
lowing!
Ninth-1t is not their interest, there, to keep
the meanest men in the community in power
to rob the treasury in order still more to rob the
productive class of the nation!
Tenth-A man can have a just hearing in Rus
sir outside of the autocracy! 1t is not considered
fair play for the press to SANDER her best men
and then refuse them a hearing in defense!
Eleventh-Will any man deny that with rare
exceptions the press of America will wink at and
circulate a known calumny for the sake Of party
SUGGEST
Twelfth ask a hard question. Has not the
press come to be the ruling power in Christen-
dom, and is it not more corrupt in America than
in any other civilized nation2
Thirteenth-Is not our whole judicial, political
and religious systems based upon the false idea
that education will of itself make men better,
showing the fallacy of such teachingl
Fourteenth-If the salt has lost its SAVIOR,
wherewithal shall it be salted}
l throw out these hints for thoughtful men.
