VILLAGES OF RUSSIA.
The DepIorable Condition of sixty Mil

The idea of 6o01o,O)0 of people be- ing constantly upon the verge of starya- ton is n startling one, yet there does not seem to b. any rcl7pn t0 doubt the truth of the authors .tatoment The peasants are fright'ully ignorant, and their mfrs make them, t) ccrtein eX- tent, selfish Inc c,e mir, are village governments, each one independent of the other, and each peasant, while bound for life to his m.r, ha- no ties connecting him with any ot4sr village.

In fact, tho authority of the Cza to-day rest, upon two things--the ignorance oi l,.a paasantry and their lack of orgalil ,tiop.
 It is question. however, of great interest how long this state of things will last. If, as Stepniak says, the majority of these peasant, are in want all the time, if they absolutely have not enough to eat for the larger part of the year, a time will come when they will move. They may be ignorant but no man is so ignorant that he can not tell the difference between hunger and rcpletion. When ths misery becomes widespread enough, when the tooth of starvation presses down hard enough, something will happen. The history of the world has slDwu often that under certain Cnadi'0 OBS in society a spark Is only ne ,ded to st ire to the train. 1t might bag.n iu Russia with knocking down a tax gathcrer. And when it does begin the result will loo fearful. The atrocities of the French revolution would cease to be talked of for those in Russia will cast them into the shade.

An old acquaintance of Tom Oohil.
tree, ga, g the New York Ecening Sun,
told a characteristic story about that
celebrated man yesterday, which q
group OF politicians listened to with
interest.
ut was about 1856 or 1885," be
said, "when the Indians were raid,ng
the Texas frontier that q company
called the Texas rangers was formed
for the purpose Of fighting the redskins
and driving them from the border.
Tom and l grew up together and once
on Fourth of July he delivered the
Grafton, and one of our cronies read
the declaration of independence. Toms
father was an eminent lawyer down
there, and was called Buffalo Head,
because of the large thinking box be
carried above his shoulders. He was
whig leader, and several times was
his party's candidate for governor, but
was always defeated.
"Ton joined the rangers, aud just
before he started with them for the
frontier his father-who was not a not
able pious mao, howaver-handed the
young fellow bible.
"'Take this bible, Tom, said the old
gentleman, 'and 1t won't do you any
harm to read it sometimes
"The young ranger thanked his
father for the gift and soon after left
with his company for the front. The
rangers were about three months in
the service when they returned. When
Toms father met the lad he said:
"'Well, Tom, | suppose you read
your bible while you we're out there 7
"'Yes, father replied the young
soldier, and I have brought it back
with me-
"Judge Ochiltree took the book and
opening the pages picked out a $40
bill, and put it in bis pocket, while
Tom looked on with utter astonish-
ment and chsgrin. Then turning the
leaves the old gentleman took out two
other 500 bills, which he also put in
his pocket Just what Toms thoughts
we're at that moment can be well i'm.
agined. During the latter part of his
service on the road he hadn't cent.
and was obliged to deny himself many
mental aud physical comforts which
without money were mo- obtainable.
"'Yes, said Judge Ochiltree, you
may have read the bible, Tom, but
you see, it seems funny that you didn't
strike those parts of the book where l
slowed those bills.
"And like the oyster Tom was voice
less"
