QUITE a sensation was created at Nice,

THE Russian gapers announce the emanci-
patton Of the last Russian serfs. It appears
that the peasants on the estates of the foreign
converts in Transcaucasia were until quite
recently the serfs of the doceses of Jerusalem
and COnsJantinOpe. This abnormal situa-
tion has attracted the attention of the author
tiles, ana since last summer the enfranchise-
ment OF these serfs has been IN progress in the
governments of Tifiis and Kutais. The Broth
erhOod OF the Holy Sepulchre possesses more
than 5000 serfs, and the Patriarch of Con-
stantnople. as representing the convent of
lyesky, on Mount AthOs. has about 500 more.
OWING to the prevalence of foul odors from
the drains at the British Houses Of Parlia-
ment committee was appointed last session

that the nuisance had been effectuaily cured.
A recent rain showed that this hope was de-
luslve. In Palace yard and in Star Court,
through which member walk or drive to the
private entrance, foul Odors rose from the
grating OF the drains and were unpleasantly
percep ible to the police on duty and others
who had business at the House.
A MAINE NEWSPAPER MAN who recently
suffered a serious loss by fire, among other let
ters Of coincidence has received one from a
lady, enclosing 81 and the following explana-
ton: Several years ago her husband lost a
valuable! horse and other valuable property
by the burning of steamer. UpO n hearing
of their loss an aged aunt sent them 81 toward
making up the loss. II was the only gift of
money the pair ever received, and the sym-
patty which prompted the sending was so
Mighty appreciated that ever after when the
gentleman heard of any one in like trouble he
gave them the aunt's dollar. and since his
death his widow had kept up the custom, and
says that the dollars have never been less
thereby.
THE RUMOR Of the arrest of an important
NihilDt chief, recently reported, is confirmed.
and the following additional details are given
by St. Petersburg correspondents The in
dividual in question is up to the present be-

escaped from prison at kieh, together with
the famous StephanOvich, who instigated the
revolt of Tehigrin, and was subsequently re-
captured. tried, and, II my memory serves me
rightly, hanged. Iyano6 escaped abroad and
