A trial for so-called blasphemy, re-
minding one of the religious perse-
cutions in the Middle Ages, has taken
place at Odessa. The criminal court
has sentenced peasant, a member of
the Bible-realing sect known as Stud
dists, to imprisonment for three years
and nine months, and loss Of his per-
sonal rights, for having preached
against the image worship of the
Russian Church. The trial was held
with closed doors; and although the
majority of the witnesses swore that
the accused had not used the words
imputed to him, the jury, composed Of
four intelligent men and eight ignorant
peasants, found him guilty. Another
strange feature of the trial was his
being defended by Jewish advocate;
whereas, Russian law forbids Jews to
hold briefs in cases of heresy or bias
phemy committed by Christians.

Sir William Thomson, in recent
lecture in Baltimore, held that the
theory of the biologists that the inter
ior of the world is liquid, whether fire
or otherwise, is not true, and the other
theory that the earth has been inhabit-
ed for unknown millions of years, was
contrary to known physical laws, The
interior of the earth, he thinks, is
probably mortared rocks. with limited
spaces of liquid matter, and earth
quakes are probably due to the falling
of the rocks, and their occurrence he
regarded as evidence for this theory.

The Brazilian law of 1871, provides
that all children born to slave mothers
shall be free, but cannot obtain their
freedom until they are twenty-one
years old, and must serve their mother S
owner until that time. Consequently
children are worked to death, and only
a small proportion OF them live to Sc.
cure their freedom. A traveller says
there "never was a nation on the globe
in which slaves were treated with more
diabolical cruelty than they are
to-day in the colTee-producing PROV
inces of Brazil. The punishments
practiced are simply barbarous." ;"
There are still 100000 slaves in the
empire. In two provinces abolition
sentiment is so strong that all of the
slaves have been freed

GALENA, ILL.,, October 13.-The

by friends of the family here; indeed
there are one or two persons in Ga

have virtually lived apart during the

about from place to place, with no

A war Reninl.eence.

From the Hays County News.
believe IL was In the spring Of '63
that General VIM. III. Jackson ("Old
Red" as his soldiers called him) was
camped near Spring Hill, Tenn, and
had his headquarters In the home of
the writer's father. Those were hal
cyon days for the people in that see
Ion, all OF whom were pronounced

soldiers appear more gay than did
those under "Old Red" at the time of
which | speak.
The writer was then mere youth
Of some five or six summers, yet no
one was more enthusiastic In the
cause of the south, than he, and he
took delight IN listening to the SOL
diers relate their varied experiences
and watching their military maneu-
vers.
II was his pleasure every morning
before breakfast, TO go To the spring
branch and gather bunch of mint 10

drinking these todies the General was

tenants Moorman and Martin. who
belonged TO his staff, and the pleasure
that these friends and sympathizers
seemed to have over their mfut jullps,
as,they called them, was, to my YOUTH
ml Imagination, the very acme oil
enjoyment, and, as now look back
upon those happy days, they come
before my fancy's eye Ike some beau
teous mirage In the barren desert.
But I'm depressing. One day, as
was my usual custom, | sauntered out
among tue soldiers, who were en-
camped about 200 yards In front of our

meaning, Il had not at that time be-
come acquainted with the national
game, Hurried to the house to re-
late to General jackson and my faith
or the news had just heard.
When l arrived at the yard gate,
however, l observed strikingly
handsome young officer, mounted on
q beautiful bay horse, a short distance
from the front door of the house and
in conversation with General Jack
son.
Presently he dismounted, tied his
horse to tree a few feet of, went in
to the house with the general and
heard..him ..introduced to my father
and other gentlemen who were pre-
sent, as Colonel Ross, the wild Ran
ger"
The introduction was made by
General jackson, and when the party
had become seated, he turned to me
and asked If l wouldn't get some mint
with which to make Colonel Ross a
julip. Ofcourse the request was COM
piled with, and the mint was soon on
hand. Each man performed the task
of making his own julip. and noticed
that Colonel Ross, although the
youngest ofthe party, Il do not think
he could have been over tweoty-one)
used about as much dexterity as the
older ones, in the mixing process.
Soon the julips were ready, the
usual tipping of glasses was gone
through with, and in moment more
| the task was over. A few minutes
after the young colonel arose with his
broad-brimmed hat in hand, remark
ed that he "must be OFF, shook hands
with all present, and in less time, al
most, than IL takes to tell l.. was
astride his fiery bay riding gaily of.
| After he was gone, my father re-
marked to those present, 'fhat he
thought young Ross about the hand
soonest man he had ever SEEM
| "Yes," returned General jackson,
and the 'biggesp daredevil have
ever seen. / believe he would charge
a battery by himself, aud take him
among the ladies, and I'll be DID Il
the rest of us soldiers would stand
any show at all. And,' he contin-
ued, .if he doesn't get killed before
the war Is over, he Is apt to make his
mark in this world, as he is the most
ambitious youth / ever saw, and a
leader by nature"
| OF course nothing was then
thought of this last remark, and the
name of Colonel Ross was soon drop
ped out OF the conversation. l have
not seen Kim since that day, but the
dash and tho eagle eye of the young
officer imprinted themselves indelli-
bly, upon my youthful mind; and now,
long years afterward, when l hear his
name mentioned SO favorably in con-
nection with the governorship OF
Texas, l wildly recall the remark OF
General Jackson, that Sui Ross
"would make his mark in this world
and wonder If his prophecy is not
about to be fulfilled.
