The Followers OF the Russian Khod
Kline
IContemporary Review.


Khodkine came TO the conclusion that
the end OF the world was ut hand. He
plunged more and moro deeply into
these ideas as he contemplated the I'M
satisfactory state OF things surrounding
hini-on the one hand the degradation
OF the moral tone of the people, their
drunkenness, their debasement Of man
ners, and ON the other hand the violence
and tyranny of the authorities, who. ar
rogant and cruel, treat the people like
herd OF cattle. KhoGkine ended by per-
suoding himself that the only why to
save ones soul was to leave the world, to
hide in forest, and make an end OF this
life OF sin and igncminy. fie did not
conceal his views from his neighbors, and
b. soon had devosed disciples, the tirst
OF whom were members OF his own fami-
ly-his mother, brother, sister-in-law.

JUSTICE Id Nj Il.

Last week every indication point
ed the non confirmation of Mr.. La
mar by the Senate, as Justice OF
the Supreme Court of the United
States, but events have proven 9TH
erwise. He was confirmed by the
Senate, three republicans including
Mr.. Riddleberger voting in his favor
and the democrats endorsing him
solidly. On Wednesday last after
taking the solemn oath of office to
support the constitution of the Uni
ted States, he took his seat upon the
Supreme bench, clad in black gown
of silk as is generally worn by all the
Justices. The following is the Sec
ond oath he took after the reading of
the commission and those parts in
reference to persons, and the poor
and the rich are specially striking,
viz:
81. L. @. C. Lamar, do solemnly
swear that | will administer justice
without respect to persons and do
equal right to the poor and to the
rich, and that | will faithfully and
impartially discharge and perform all
the duties incumbent on me as asso
ciate Justice of the Supreme Court
of the United States, according to
the best of my ability and under
standing, agreeable to the Constitu-
ton and the laws of the United
States, so help me God"

AN OFFICER .MURDERED.

Officer Joe Glenn, of Wheeling,
discovered some persons breaking in
a house one night last week. They
fired upon him, striking him with
three balls and he has since died from
the wounds. Hecould not recognize
the Williams and they are not likely
TO be caught, although the mayor and
council have offered large reward
for their discovery and arrest. Thus
a brave officer yields his all-his life
at the post of duty. We note this
death to say, officers are in the first
place too few in number in railroad
and manufacturing towns, and in the
second place, they are not sufficient
