AN ENEMY RAEEIE ED.

There is an enemy with whom thous-
ands are familiar all their lives. because
they are born with tendency to bilious
ness. With this enemy they are constant

Mere purgatives will not reform IA disor-

by constipation alone, but also by sick
headaches, yellowness of the skin and eye

gripe and weaken the iutestiues, and sub

to save their he plesS comrades, came a
third explosion, more terrific than its

dent occurred this morning on the Baltl-
more and Ohio road at Buena Vista, TWEEN

men were thrown from the cars, and they,
with those on the ground. were buried
under the wreck. Both trains took hire,
and the flames spread so rapidly that II

PRIeSTCRAFT AND DESPOTlsM.


! LONDON, Jan. 4--The Moscow corre-
/ spondent of the Chronicle describes the
unsparing persecution of the Stundists in
Kietf. A similar persecution, he says,
I has been carried on in the provinces of
western and southern Russia since 1870
! Imprisonment, Punishment, beatings,
! fnings aud outrages that he wonld have
considered incredible unless he had per-
| sonally verified each case, have been the
/ lot of the wretched people.
In one village in the Kaperstinitz dis
! trict the governor bad arrived early in
| Septe mber for the purpose of iDquiring
! into the state of religion. In this inquiry
| he WAS assisted by the local priests.
! Eventually the officials compelled the
! Stundists to abandon their lands and
shops: to work in the communal
lands during the day and to
do sentry duty in the village at night, SO
! that they were hardly able to visit their
homes at all Recently, even women with
nursing infants were compelled TO assist
in communal field work. The orthodox
peasants surrounded the others and in
t1icted with impuuitY all sorts of indigni
ties whenever the latter Jagged in the
field or fell asleep when on sentry duty.
Although menaced by the mobs the
Stundists still refuse TO embrace the ortho-
flOA FGilSlOu- 10 MAKE du example, Iuc
village elder one night summoned the
police and peasantry to his aid and took
possession of hut whose Stundist owner
was absent on sentry duty The hut was

so that the sleeping children were almost
sutfocated. As the mother still refused to
abjure her faith, she was stripped naked
aud subjected TO frightfui indiguities. The
party visited other houses, where similar
scenes were enacted, unless the inmates
received warning and escaped. In one case
an elder and coachman violated a woman
in the absence of he- husband. They
dragged her about the floor until she be-
came unconscious, and afterwards restor-
ed her to consciousness by one sitting on
her breast and another putting the smoke
from noXiOus weed into her mouth.
These visits and the same horrible
scenes were of nightly occurrence, until
all the Stundists were driven to seek
refuge in the steppes. ii the husbands
protested against the outrages committed
on their wives, they were numerically
beaten. Appeals to the law had no real
effect. When the men engaged in the
horrible work complained that they had
exhausted the noXlous weed, they were
informed that fresh supply would be
sent to them. All still enjoy freedom TO
continue the atrocities.
