Fa,n,s a, the Mention ot .::roua.

The district court is somewhat mlde-
cided as to what is the best course to
pursue III the case of the State versus
Edward Porter. charged with carving
another colored man named Clark with Il
knife. The trouble arises over the fact
that Juror Oswald is taken with fit
every time blood is mentioned, and the
case has to rest until he recovers The
very mention of a wound OF the showing
of knife sends him into fit of shivers,
and the attorneys are struggling along
in an effort to conduct the case without
the use Of CORY details That is prac-
tically impossible. The court cannot re-
lease the jury and try the case again un-
der the rule that man once in jeopardy
isalways in jeopardy and cannot be tried
twice, except i'll case of disagreement.
The case is peculiar one. e.-Ninneapol:,

a New Prophet and Mystic In kief.

A new sect whose prophet is certain
peasant called Kondrati is making ex-
traordinary progress in the provinces of
kief and Poltava. Kondrati is man
of considerable power as speaker, but
who was at one time confined in lu-
natic asylum. He was arrested some
time ago and sent to Transcaucasia, but
his followers are most energetic apostles
and continue to propagate Kondratism.
Their principle tenet is that all men
are as Christ was, and in exactly the
same way sons of God when they have
been touched by the Spirit. The plain
est facts and statements in Scripture are
interpreted in mystical spirit. There
is also tendency to free love among
them, but as the last statement is voucll-
ed for only by the Russian clergy it may
have no foundation. The Kondratists
already number 1000. Christian w World.

"3y the Wisl, of His Wife,"

1t is generally, believed that the money
which the Duke of Portland wins at rae
ing is given to charity, according to the
direction of the duchess. and the duke,
not content with this, seems determined
to hand down to posterity tribute TO
her wholesome influence. In the center

erected on his Welbeck estate for the
widows of those employed on it there is
stone with an engraved inscription
setting forth that the buildings were
