A SEVEN WIFE RELIGION.
Young Russians Oppose Doctrines Of

A DoukhobOr named Vazoff, who was
disappointed with the dolngs OF his
fanatical sect in Canada, and returned
to Russia, has Just been arrested and
sent to prison. wires the Moscow cor
respondent OF the London Express. Vo-
zoff aspired to be the Joseph Smith OF
Russian Mormonism. Having quarrel
ed with the Canadian DOukhobors, he
returned surreptitiously to his native
country, boasting that he would found
a sect ten times as numerous as theirs.
Arriving at Odessa he tramped inland,
announcing to the peasants a new rev.
elatlon, according to which all true
Christians were in future TO have seven
wives, "as was the case with the good
Canadians." The villagers OF Ilovo
passed a resolution accepting Yazoffs
doctrines. but when the mayor, his two
sons and seven or eight rich peasants
put the tenets OF the, new religion into
practice there was K loud outery. and
the young men OF the district raided
the mayors house and nearly killed HIS
sons. Vazoff fed but was pursued TO
a neighboring village. where he was
captured while haranguing the mouilks
on the virtues Of polygamy.

In some respects one of the most re-

Tugela he took a position on the firing
line. The fire from the British batteries
across the river was very heavy during
the preliminary period Of the assault,
and shells literally rained on the low

Meyer thought he saw a good OppOr-
