A RUSSIAN BAsTILE.
The Terrible Prison Of Schlusselburg Where

The Terrible Prison OF Schlusselburg Where
Even the Guards are Prisoners
Some fifty miles from ST. Petersburg, upon
the lake Of Ladoga, there 10 q small granite
island, entirely occupied by q fortress, says
Free Russia 1t is Schlusselburg, the dreadful
prison Of state-worse than the French Bastile,
worse than the fortress Of St. Peter and ST.
Paul, with its Troubetzkoi and Aleneevsy
ravelins and its underground cells. The most
resolute Of the revolutionists, men and women
who have taken part in active conspiracies,
whom IL is not considered safe to keep in
the fortress Of St. Peter and St. Paul, are sent
there.
The absence Of any inhabitants except those
employed in the service renders ii possible to
isolate the prisoners to degree unattainable
anywhere else. No one is allowed to land upon
tie island. Sentinels have orders to shoot any
one who approaches. If the near relatives of q
prisoner inquire concerning him at the police
department in St. Petersburg they are some
times told "alive" or dead" sometimes no
answer is given. The soldiers and guards are
themselves prisoners, who mingle only with
each other and are carefully watched on the
rare occasions when they are allowed to make
a visit to the mainland. II was possible to
establish secret communications with even the
most jealousy guarded ravelins of the st.
petersburg fortress. But the fortress of
it is.
Inc journal continues: Though some Of the
oest-known men Of the revolution party, in
whom the greatest interest was felt among the
whole body of revolutionists, were kept there.

and have lost what is as precious, if not more
precious, to man than life.

DEATH OF PARNELLISM,
One Patent Fact in the Perplexities Of the
Irish Problem.


A London dispatch says: Mr.. Parnelrs let
ter, admitting the inaccuracy of the amount at
tributed to Mr.. Dillon's drawing from the
evicted tenants fund, has brought to a pause
the wretched controversy in the Irish COM
moner's ranks, which really centers in the de-
sire Of each side to obtain control Of the Paris
fund. Mr.. Parnell, brought to bay, is meeting
on. the same treatment to Messrs. Dillon and
O'Brien which he has already melted out to the
Healyites and the liberal leaders, but he is
fighting an impossible battle. Nobody doubts
the scrupulous integrity of Mr.. Morley, and on
the question Of veracity Mr.. Parnell, with his
record Of the widest statements, stands no
chance Of credence. However. he still knows
the weak points in his enemies armor. and
eompels them to vince and take refuge in am
biguities.
This modifying spectacle, which gains unde-
served attention. occurring as it does in the
deadest part OF the political season, can have
but one result-the destruction of Ireland's
chances of home rule. The tory press and
party are delighted that Mr.. Parnell has sue
ceeded in drawing from Messrs. Gladstone and
Morley an admission of anxiety to reach Mr.
Parnell through secret channels. Lung leaders
in the tory papers dwell upon the discontinue
and humiliation Of the liberal leaders, while
the liberal press vainly appeals to the party to
leave Mr.. Parnen alone The clericals are in
censed at Messrs. o Brien and Dillon for adher-
ing to the plan Of campaign in defiance Of
Rome. Altogether the position of the Irish
problem, from whichever side it is viewed, is
extremely perple1ing; The only patent fact is
that Parnellism is dead The apathy Of the
Psrnellite organization and the constant Access
sion Of Psrnellites to the national federation
have induced the latter organization to instruct
its registration agents for election lists to make
no distinction between Parnellites and Nc
Carthyites.

The Cuckoo and the Sparrow.

In an article concerning the cuckoo" In
Longman's Magazine an interesting account
is given Of the cuckoo ll-known and seldom.
seen performance. The surprising and ex-
ceptional nature Of this phenomenon, and in
some measures also the difficulty of acceptiny
the explanation usually given Of the origin OF
the instinct in the young bird. must be held to
account for the disposition shown to accept &C.
counts of it with reserve. One of the most
graphic sketches Of the occurrence by an eve
witness is that in Mr.. Gould's Birds of Great
Britain" The account by Mrs. Blackburn,
who watched the movements Of the young
cuckoo. is full of interest.
The nest under observation was that OF the
common meadow pipet and it had the first two
eggs in it besides that of the cuckoo ..At one
visit, continues Mrs. Blackburn, 1.-THE pipets
were found to be Matched, but not the cuckoo.
At the next visit which was after an interval of
forty-eight hours, We found the young cuckoo
alone in the nest, and both the young pipe,s
lying down the bank about ten inches from the
margin OF the nest, but quite lively after being
warmed in the hand. They were replaced in
the nest beside the cuckoo, which struggled
about unit! it got its back under one of them,
when it climbed backwards directly up the
open side of the nest and pitched the
pipet from its back on to the edge. 1t then
stood quite upright on its legs which we're
straddled wide apart. with the claws firmly
fixed half way down the inside Of the nest
among the interlacing fbers of which the nest
was woven. and, stretching its legs apart and
backward. it elbowed the pipet fairly over the
margin SO far that its struggles took it down
the bank instead of back into the nest After
this the cuckoo stood a minute or two. feeling
back with its wings, as if to make sure that the
pipet was fairly overheard, and then subsidized
into the bottom of the nest"
The rejected bird was replaced, but on again
visiting the nest on the following morning both
pipets were found dead out of the nest. Mrs.
Blackburn continues: 1.-The cuckoo was per-
fectly naked, without the vestige Of O feather,
or even hint of future feathers: its eyes were
not yet opened and its neck seemed too weak
to support the weight of its head
The most singular thing of all was the direct
purpose with which the blind little monster
made for the open side Of the nest, the only
part where it could throw its burden down the
bank. l think all the spectators felt the sort of
horror and awe at the apparent inadequacy Of
the creatures intelligence to its acts that one
might have felt at seeing q toothless bag raise
a ghost by an incarnation. 1t was horribly un-
canny and gruesome."

THE BLUE SKY.

ways In Which the Changing Tfnts Of the
Firnament Are Produced.
From the Youth's Companion.
Every one admires and talks Of the blue of
the sky, but how many have observed not only
that the sky is sometimes Of deeper or richer
blue than at other times. but that its changes
OF tint occur in more or less regular way
Such is the conclusion of NJ. Crova, who has
reported to the Paris Academy of Sciences the
result of his systematic observation of sky color
from December, 1889, to December 1890.
He finds that the sky Is most intensely blue in
December, January, March and September and
paler in July, August and November. Observ-
ing the changes from hour to hour he found
that it was more deeply blue in the morning
than during the heat of midday. This indicates
that, since the deepest color is seen. generally
speaking. in the coolest months and during
the cooler part OF the day, heat is an important
color.
This recalls one Of the most brilliant Of the
many experiments with which Prof Tyndall
used to illustrate his lectures. By projecting
beam of electric light into cloud of invisible
particles Of vapor in glass vessel he was able
to Initiate the finest azure tints of an Italian
y The point of the experiment was to show that
the sky tint is caused by the reflection of the
blue waves Of light from minute particles float
ing high in the air. The. waves Of blue light
are shorter than those of yellow or red, and
consequently are more easily arrested and re-
fected back.
When the sun is blazing hot high in the
heavens it dissolvea the fine particles of vapor
to great extent and leaves fewer of them to
split up the scattered daylight and send its
soon blue beams back to the observers ewes.
1t will be easy and interesting for any person
to observe for himself the variations in the
color of the sky. Perhaps new facts may thus
be discovered that men of science will be glad
to learn.

Says the London Globe: "A new prophet has
arisen-also from Russia-who bids fair to
emancipate humanity from the tyranny Of
Tolstoi the Terrible. His claims to attention
are all the more imperative from the fact that
he guarantees his followers exemption from
two of the greatest Affections to which fashion
able flesh is heir-dyspepsia and badness. The
name of the prophet Is khorf. and he bears his
credentials writ large on his person. Though
he has already passed the span allotted to hu-
mainly by the psalmist, he is as agile as q
young opossum and as well matched as Absa-
iom. His rules Of longevity are refreshingly
simple. Eschew all drugs, never shave. live in
the open air g much as possible and
wear a. little clothes a. you can
these are the cardinal doctrines of
hygiene, according to Khorf. So shall you be-

An Aged Statesman.

From the Des Moines Capital.
There could be no more suggestive picture
presented to an Iowa audience than that of
Gen. Geo. W. Jones of Dubuque as he presided
over the festivities of the Indiana Society at
Prospect Park yesterday afternoon. Well
along toward ninety years of age, he enioys
superb health, is 1.-THE and active. and as
fastidious in his dress and personal appear
ance as when. in 1882, he was one of the distin-
guished members Of the United States Senate.
He seems as quick in apprehension, as prompt
in repartee. as WIDE awake and active az at any
time during the past twenty-five years. He
had pleasant words for everybody, recognized
all his old friends upon the instant
OF meeting them, and was as compli-
mentary to the ladies as we can imagine he was
half a century ago. He presided with spright-
illness and the most perfect self-possession He
never kept his audience waiting an instant
recognizing motions and putting questions like
the readiest parliamentarian. What a memory
that man must have-going back to tire days
when there were neither railroads, steamboats,
nor telegraphs! 1t was in his boyhcod that the
battle OF New Orleans was fought. He knew
intimately and well Jackson, Clay, Webster,
Benton and Calhoun. He sat in the Senate with
Henry and A. C. Dodge, father end son. the
first from Wisconsin and the latter from Iowa.
he was by far the most prominent man in Iowa
for lifetime, and in al the broad northwest
there was not his superior in commanding in
duence.
