End of the LabOrs of the Famous Hns-

LONDON, December 23.-Sergius
Michael Stepniak, the famous
Russian exile, who has done more
than any other man in the last
twenty years to make the world
acquainted with the methods of
the Russian Government in its
treatment of all who desire free
dom of speech and conscience, lie
dead. He was known, like Prince
Kiapotkin, by his works. many Of
which have been published in
this country. His headquarters
for years was London, though he
visited the Continent and four
years ago went to the United
States on a lecturing tour.

descent from the Cossacks of
Little Russia. From 1859 to 1868
he was a student at Kietf, and he

that time, which were prohibited
by the Government in 1862.
In 1870 he became a professor
at the University of KieH, but

POET ouTTER.s FENCE.
The Cause and the Result Reported
Rhyme by the New York SUN


The following poetical report of events
in Little Neck, the home of Bloodgood H.
Cutter, the poet of Long Island, is sent
from Little Neck without signature, says
the New York Sun, but a study of the
lines seems TO leave no doubt of its au-
thorship:
While the evening sun was setting
DER the clammers on the bay, a troop of
merry children to the village on their
way, took shady path that led them
through a little patch of wood, owned by
the Poet Cutter, a. man of verse, and
good The ehildrens laugh and prattle,
carried by the summer breeze, startled
herd of cattle standing meath the
shady trees. Their peace thus disturb
ed by the pleasant, youthful chime, the
cattle did forget that 1t vas milking
time, and, with tails up in the air and
hercely lowered horns, the herd pranced
wildly DER the poets lawn.
The clatter of hoofs and the snorts of
wild alarm, as the frightened herd dash
ed DER the gentle poets farm, aroused
him from reverie as peaceful as the
sea, and he fastened out to learn what
the matter all could be. He saw at
glance the fearful damage wrought, and
his anger was heightened by the mad
cows snort. The poet had been writing
an epic on the clam, and his indignation
almost made him utter -. The poet
heard from each farm hand, how the
children passing through his land. had
by their laugh and merry prattle, alarm
ed the herd of quiet cattle.
He said of the cattle;
"'Tis wonderful how fast they stride,
so near each other, side by side; tho
when together they get near, they still do
manage to keep clear"
He said of the children:
For twenty revolving years, or more,
my neighbors were wont to pass my door.
~ssrl,A dow M
fences there did bar their way
Then he sent his men for posts and
rails hammer and saw, and plenty of
nails. The posts were set deep in the
ground, till the farm was fenced entirely
round. Had the Poet Cutter taken to
prose, had he taken wife, the whole
world knows, no greater surprise could
have struck the town than to find his
fences up instead of down. The people
talked of the poets wrath that had
caused him to fence their accustomed
path. Then they heard of the cows and
the havoc made, and knew why the poet
their passage stayed
Some people said the poet was mean
others thought he should be seen, while
others said a man repents who bars his
neighbors with fence When the poet
heard what his neighbors said, a peculiar
notion entered his head. He would
change from a friend to village foe, and
the power of poets the people show.
There stands in the village a building
tall, known all about as the Poet $
Hail." The sewing society meets in the
place. and the whir of machines with
gossip keeps pace.
'Tis whispered abroad, in home and in
street that the sewing club must else
where meet. The poet has heard what
the women have said, and will take his
roof from over their head.
Little Neck, Great Neck, and other
places, too, wonder what next the poet
will do. Some people feel sad, while 9TH
ers feel cheap, and the Little Neck CLAIMS
do nothing but weep.

Here Is a Company Which Insures You
Against Loss of Employment.
The development of the original theory
of insurance has resulted in nnumerable
curious specialtes. 1t is possible now for
a man not only to insure his own life, but
that of his horse as well and his wife's
sealslSin sack He can insure himself
against fire, cyclone and burglars, and
loss through dishonest employees
He can insure his plate glass against
the predatory brick, and if the same mis-
sile chances to hit him on the head, his
accident policy pays his doctors bills
Thus the mishaps of life are in sense
forestalled and-the prudent citizen is en-
abled to pluck certainty from the heart
of vicissitude.
1t has remained, however, for con-
Germ in Atlanta TO cap the climax, says
the New York Journal, by insuring the
employee against the loss of his job. In
an alluring circular the object of the COM
pany, and, incidentally, the cost of men,
bership, is given the public.
All persons of good character, steady
bership whether employed at the time of
joining or not The different classes are
graded by salary received by the appli-
cant per month, and they range from So
to 800, and the dues are regulated in ac-
cordance.
after six months of membership in good
standing will receive the benefits of the
system. They will receive one-third of
their regular salary for four weeks, and
the president is authorized to pay out
such extra benefits as may, in his dis
erection, be justified.
Professional people and others who do
not work for regular salary may enter
the company in whichever class they
choose. If misfortune overtakes them
they are Untitled to draw benefits the
same as anyone else. There u.s. however,
a clause in the prospectus governing the
distinctions made between different
methods of losing ones employment.
This is of vital Importance. 1t sets
forth that such a calamity shall not be
for incompetence, dishonesty or intemper-
ance. Barring these three provisos, and
they would seem to cover pretty nearly
all the ground. should man lose his
position he can draw one-thrd of his sal
airy for four weeks.
