Tolstoi and the Censorship.

1t appears that the Russian censors
stand in much greater fear Of Tolstol
than he does of them. They begin to
tremble as soon as they learn that he Is
meditating new book. In making up
their minds whether the work of the
greatest Russian writer is to be placed
under their ban. they have now to con-
slider, not only what people will say in
Russia, but also what people will think
in Europe. When the "Kreutzer Soma
ta' was prohibited, Tolstoi's wife, it Is
said, went in person to the car and
lodged complaint. Alexander III re-
ceived the countess very graciously, re-
moved the ban and declared that in fu-
ture he would himself act as censor of
Tolstoi's books, adding, with smile,
that he would be Every lenient." On
the completion Of "The Kingdom Of
God," however, it was resolved to pub
lish the book abroad, doubtless from a
sense that its contents were much too
strong for any leniency to tolerate How
things will go ON under the new regime
remains to be seen. -Westminster Ga

those Of Shenandoah who are interested in en-
gaging in the same talk. We hope it won't
be all talk, as we certainly need one. II
those who own the two present halls won't
keep them in respectable condition, then they
should have competition. The latest is to
buy the old Merchants Hotel property, at the
corner of Main and Coal street, and raze it to
the ground then build handsome brick
structure, to be composed of theatre and
hotel building combined.
