themselves that Campbell will get

him, but they are not succeeding
very well. The national demo

to, to use its influence to whip the

has promised to do so, but iuasmuch
as the committee has for some time
practically conceded the election Of
Mckinley by laying wires TO capture

AN INFANrILe JOAN or ARC.
A Little Russian Girl Who Led the Mob
in Odessa's Streets.

Sergius Stepniak is a splendid con-
yersationalist, aud he tells stories o.
crueliies to political conyicts to friends
or chance acquaintance with evident
pleasure.
One story specially illustrates the
means n Government will employ to
keep itself at the top, even by the
punishment of children too young TO
know of an offense against the nation
AT Odessa 20 1876" began Mr.
Stepnias. "a great riot was precipi-
tated by the arrest of Scrgius Koral-
sey FOR a political offense in which the
people were especially interested. The
police were unable to do anything with
the mob and it held full control for
hours. A little girl named Gukorsky,
yet under thirteen years of age, SEEM
ed to be inspired by the sights and ran
hither and thither urging the men to
greater deeds of violence. While on
the outskirts of the crowd she was
seized by one of the gendarmes, but
immediately mounted on huge stone
and made a speech to the crowd. call
ing them towards if they did not
rescue her from the police, Men soon
surrounded the officers and beat them
back, carving away in triumph their
little heroine
But the police knew her too well
and not long after she was arrested
and sent to prison. She had no trial,
for in Russia no one gets a trial for a
political offense. She was taken be-
fore an officer but was not given a
chance to tell her story. She was sim
ply put in Jail and could not even COM
muuicate with any friends to tell them
where she was located. She was taken
from one prison to another for two
years, and at last in 1881 she was inn
priSoned in the miserable jail at Kras-
noiarsk. Feeling that nothing could
be done for her, she grew respondent,
and in March of that year committed
suicide, after only having reached her
fifteenth year. A child so Young as
she certainly could not willfully break
the laws. aud such cases as these only
spur on Nihilism.

Chris tianity in America.

The fact is, that the great majority
Of the American churches are what
many modern Eugishmen would
call old Fashioned in their orthodoxy.
They hold by ancient standards and
follow familiar paths. The funda
mental truths of Christianity have,
in fact, hrmer foot-hoId IN these
states than IN II G England Of to-day,
for antagonism has made no pro-
gress, aud the devotion of the peo-
pie to their religious organizations
remains unaffected. In no country
IN the world are there more liberal
contributions To churches and mis-
slonS; IN no society is there less
tolerance for hippanoy or irrever-
ence, while careless life or open
uubeilet would ruin any public
career. II fact it is very necessary
IN studying the states to dlssoclate
the surface features of American
life-the froth on the waves--trom
the deep, quiet currents of national
existence.-Loadoa Telegraph.

Oshkosh Northeastern. At a re-
cent gathering in the east, which
was attended largely by society
people who have nothing TO do, so
much enthusiasm was created over
foreign missionary work that young
ladies and men stripped off their
jewelry, diamonds and watches and
donated them to raise money for
sending missionaries abroad to con-
vert the poor heather. If the same
amount Of interest would be taken
by the wealthy idiers of the east in
the heather and poor of their own
country and they would be equally
liberel in their donations, there
would be more sense IN it and their
action would undoubtedly be fol.
lowed 10y far better results. But IL
probably would not be the style to
do anything of that kind, so the
poor Of New York can starye under
their eyes while the heather OF
