Baron De Marriott, who was one o.
Napoleon's staff officers for years, and
a successful commander under him
through several campaigns, says MAJ
poleon was ready to re-establish the
Kingdom Of Poland but could do nOrh-
ing until the Poles struck the first blow
themselves. While the Poles wanted
Napoleon to take the initiative, and in
this vicious circle their purposes fol-
lowed each other until the opportunity
for either to act had passed away.
1t seems hardly probable that Polish
nationality can ever be restored any
more than that Irish nationality may
be. The present tendency is rather to-
ward the consolidation Of states and
governments, than toward the estab-
lishment Of new ones And yet, Russia
Is so far behind the age in everything
she is 50 big, she includes within her
sovereignty such vast and distant
areas, and such varied people, and
they are bound together so loosely,
neither by common blood, common in
terests, nor common justice I'm their
government, that who can say what
may not happen to Russia pressed by
foreign foe, distraught by internal
dissenslon. There may be a dismem-
berment of her empire as complete AS
SCATTERING as the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of
the Roman Empire. If such cata-
clasm happens Poland may yet be re-
established as a free and Independent
nationality, and the dreams of Kosclu-
sko come true.

Inmates of the Emperor's Prisons.
Russia Is rejoicing over the recent
manifesto OF the car granting amnes.
ties and decreeing certain benefac.
uohs for the oppressed people. But
more than all it rejoices that corporal
punishment has been abolished. To
the average American reader the eu-
phemistic term corporal punishment"
is practically devoid of meaning. But
replace the sugared phrase with the
word "knout" and thing at once hor.
rihie and revolving fashions itself in
the minds eye.
The knout is a whip OF three thongs
or tails, the end OF each thong being
fashioned into knot, and not infre
quently, particularly when the weapon
was TO be used on hardened criminals
the knot was partly composed OF
leaden ball. With scourges of this ter
rible kind Russian peasants, scldiers,
officials. suspected offenders. aud even
persons in high places have been
whipped
