The spectacle of a trim, shapely, well
bred looking young woman walking
down Fifth avenue behind an over
dressed child Of perhaps twelve years Of
age and carrying the youngsters school
books. has been observed by social stu
dents on several occasions lately. 1t
seems to be the proper thing with chill
dren of the smart set, but it is not an
altogether cheerful and encouraging
sign of the times. These young women
are not governesses, unless they come
under the English designation of nursery
governesses, for the children go to school
and presumably are taught something
when they get there; nor are the young
women maid servants, and they are very
rarely, it would appear, of foreign ex-
traction. In u country like England,
where poor girls of good family consent
to accept positions which, if not menial,
are given menial suggestiveness. there il
the Unborn British respect for rank and
money to condone what seems to be rath-
er unworthy service. But in this glori-
GUS republic of independence and equal

In Mr.. Davin's "Irishmen in Canada"
is told very good bear and mouse story,
which is better than the average inven-
ton in that line. Asettler had gone into
"the bush" and worked one season be-
fore bringing his family to their new
home. Having built his house and cleared
some land, he thought of returning for
his wife and children. s a au.h
He had, with other money, $3.50 in sill
yer. This, ON account of its weight, he
determined not to take with him, but to
hide it in the hollow of tree. He put
it in a stocking and hung it up in a hol-
low trunk. 81, "a. e4r, .s y..
When the settler and his family came
home the next summer, they found that
an old bear had made the house hisabode
during the winter, and on going to the
tree for his money, the man was not o
little disappointed to find it--gone!
His mind lowered round his money,
and he haunted the tree. At last he de-
termined to cut it down. At the base
hope revived when he saw portions of
the paper and the stocking cut up fine,
forming, together with grass and leaves,
a wood mouse's nest. Beneath the nest
was the $3.50 in the midst of mold and
rotten wood.

Great. Mea are sent of by hundreds to
Siberia, while it is never known by whom
they were denounced, or what are the
crimes imputed to them. The petty in
references in common life are almost in
credible; no man can even alter the front
Of his house in st. Petersburg without
special permission from the czar. For
eign newspapers are received with broad
splotches Of printing ink over any pas

The theory Of personal government is
carried out to its utmost extent; each
minister is supposed to communicate di-
rectly with the czar. and to take orders
from him alone, so that there can be no
concert between them, and nothing like
what we call a cabinet. In practice,
however, this cannot possibly be carried
out. and the majority of the affairs of
the enormous empire must necessarily
be settled without the cognizance of a

the peasants between the ideas of mo-

as described by Count Tolstoi, it is the
fashion to profess complete unbelief in
everything, and Stepniak glories in the
nihilism Of the middle classes as includ-

vanced than other nations, as we have
disposed Of religion, the next world, and
all such rubbish" The small remains Of
free institutions still left in the local
