The Czar's Little Czars.

A WHOLE VILLAGE FLOORED AFTER HKING

ROBBED BY A PROVINCIAL GOVESNOIt,

St. Petersburg, Feb. I.—" God reigns in heaven and the Czar reigns on earth " is a Russian saying. In one sense this is true, 83 far as Russia is concerned, for the Czar is, at least in law, the whole source of every authority in all his vast dominions. But, according to another Russian saying, "God is high and the Czar is fur." All the Rus sins form too big a country to bo looked after even by the "earthly god," as the peasantry call the autocrat. Therefore the detestable system of minor Czara was iie vised. Now every province is ruled by a Governor, every district by an ispravnik, and every village by a constable, as auto cratically as though each of them was "God's anointed." What the Russian people think of the rule of these Czars was long ago summed up in this saying : " The laws may be divine, but their administra tors are devils." The Rus-ian provinces are to-day governed no better thau tha pro vinces of the Roman Empire Like the aincient satraps, the Russian Governors are sent into the provinces, as it were, not for administration, but for plunder. They zealously practice " addition, division, and silence," but sometimes, though very s»l ---dom, they fail to keep silent, and then the Russians are treated to an exhibition of the inner workings of the administration.

In the Governing Senate thero lias just been tried a very remarkable case, not \iuiquc but characteristic. The defendants were : Privy Counsellor Tokareff, Governor of the Province of Minsk ; Gen. Lashkarelt'; State Counsellor Sevnstianoll', director of the State domains in the Minsk prosince, and Col. Kapher, the ispravnik of a dis trict. The Czar's Government usually grants to its high functionaries portions of the Sk;te land as a reward for distinguished services. Knowing this, many Governors have tried to restore to the Crown lands allegod to be illegally possessed by private parties. In the villxge of Loguishino there were 233 burgher families, possessing about 8,000 acres of land which had been granted to the village in the sixteenth century by the Polish Kings. The Czars at different times had affirmed the right of the Loguish ino burgheis to their land. But Governor Tokareff, by a single slroke of his pen, annulled both the grant of the Polish Kings and the confirmation of the Czars. Be made uo his mind to get the Loguishino land for himself, and go lie reported to the Cear's Government that he had iliscove>cd some State land, and, without much a<lo, ho petitioned that the land should be granted to him. Throng JO'.ue bureau cratic machination.^ W eU°underßtood ] lcrC( he sucsee led ir hig plaUj am \ wns formally presented -; vlt jj t j ie Loguishmo land "as a 'ew^"nl for his services." Then Tokareff vegan to act in his double capacity of Go vernor and land proprietor. He appointed one of his subordinated, who had most zea lously assisted him in getting the land, as his land agent. Then he proceeded to col lect rent from his tenants. The burghers of Loguishino were amazed at the demand. They protested, petitioned, and prayed for mercy, but all in vain. Five residents of Loguishino, who one after another were chosen by the village to present their case in St. Petersburg,were aneafred and thrown Into prison and then transported. One of these petitioners had succeeded in reaching St. Petersburg before the Governor knew of his mission, but Tokaroff telegraphed to the Czar's polics; that the man was a dan gerous person, and he was dealt with accor ■uinoly. Tokarclf, seeing that it was impossible for him to peaceably collect his rent, re ported to the Minister of the Interior that there was a riot in the village of Loguishino and requested permission to use the mili tary force in order to re-establish order. Gen. Loshkareff was sent to the Minsk province to investigate the Loguishino ca je, with power to use the military force if he thought it necessary. After consulting with the Governor, the General sent to Loguis hino a ba'talion of infantry and 200 Coi sacks, under the command of Col. Kapher, whom the Governor commended as tbe moat efficient of his ispravniki. Along wito his soldiers the Colonel took several load? of stout rods, and went to Loguishino. He addressed the villagers thus : "The General from St. Petersburg is •coming here. He has the right to bury you alive, as rioters, or to Avhip you to death, or to ehoot you down ; in a word, he can deal with you as ho pleases. Therefore you had better submit to the law, send your deputies to meet the General, and pray for mercy." The frightened villagers took he?d. They made a small illumination and sent three deputies, who knelt be'ore the Ucne ral and expressed their readiness to pay ; -either in money or ia grain, just as his Excellency preferred. According to the Russian custom the deputies offered the General breid aud salt, and so did the Jew ish residents of Loguishino. The General accepted the offer from the latter, and turn ing to the Christian deputies said : , " Away, you rioters I I will not take your bread and salt before you pay the last kopeck you owe your landlord," On the next day Gen. Loshksreff told the ! military, the civil, and the village authori- i ties, and the gendarmes that the Christian population o£ Lofcuishino owed Gov. Toka- , reff for using his laud 12,000 roubles—about $8,000. The Governor was so kind as to remit half of that sum to the villagers. The other half must be collected within two days, peaceably, if possihle, and, if necessary, by force. Col. Kapher was charged with the duty of collecting the money. The villagers were at once in formed that each family must pay 25 rou bles—sl6. Then the Cossacks and (soldiers brought the villagers to the village office one by one, 1 hose who could pay at once •were left unmolested, but when a villager declared that he had no ready money, the Colonel cursed Mm, slapped him in the face, and cried out : "Take him to the bath and give him a hundred or so!" The "bath" was an adjacent room where the soldiers flogged the burghers with rods. While a victim was under the rods, the ispravnik would ask : ' Will you pay now ?' If the answer was ' Yes,' the flogging was stopped. If a burgher asked for delay or protested his inability to pay the whole Amount, the ispravnik would cry : i Whip him ! Bleed him to death ! Under such treatment all the villagers, except one, paid their share. Among those flowed were two men, one of whom was69anl the other 70 years old There was also a pauper who lived by alms. He was flogged until he g»ve ten roubles,which sum be collected while unacr the guard of two Cossacks. ... - A. MalaKhovsky,a retired sergeant of the army, protested his inability to pay 2o roubles, on the ground that he had just eft the Czar's service, and had no money. H« was severely flogged. On hearing that the sergeant could not pay, the ispravnik wdered that he be flogged a second time. After that the sergeant said to the Colonel, 1 Although I have been in the Czar's army, 1 have never before submitted to such humiliating punishment.1 '& The Colonel retorted, ' Then I will whip you a third time.'

And the old sergeant was Hogged once more. Yet he could not find moucy, and the village had to pay for him. Some of the victims were whipped till they lost their senses. Many tried to escape from the vil lago.but they were caught by the Cossacks, who formed a chain around the village. Burgher Pctrukcvitch, however, succeeded in running away. But then the Colonel ordered that 100 roubles be collected trom his wife. As she had no money, a hor- c and three oxen of Petrukeviteh's was sold to the Jews, and thus the money was obtained In another .case a bull tint was worth 80 roubles was sold to a Jew for 25 roubles Asa rule the burghers applied to the Jews for loans of money,and received it at the rate of from IA to ,'i per cent, a week. At last all the money required was col lected, and, along with bread aud sal', was transmitted to General LoshkarqfV, who, after thanking the authorities, the soldiers, and the Cossacks for their zeal, left the vil lage. In his report to the Minister of the Interior he stated that the fanatical opposi tion of tho residents of Lcguishino, sup ported by outside influence, could not be overcome except by the aid of tho military. He asked that the authorities who assisted him to re-establish order, and particularly Colonel Kapher, be rewarded. This request was complied with, and the Colonel was knighted, l>eing elevated to the fourth degree in the order of St. Vladimir, The General himself was also knighted, rcceiv iner 'he second degree in the order of St VI ail i mi r.

After that everything went smoothly for three years. At last an able provincial lawyer took up the case of Loguishino and brought it directly before the Council of Ministers. These tcported the case to the Senate. The Senators at first weie disposed to send the Governor a fatherly reprimand, but the Minis'crs would not agree to that. So ail who had token part in the outrage were brought to trial. T'<e defendants pre ferred to keep silence at the trial. The Senators reserved their decision. It is rumoured, however, that all of the guilty ones will be dismissed from the Czar's ser vice.

I have given the case as it is reported by the official newspapers. In bureaucratic circles here, great sympathy is expressed for the Governor and the General, who in fact, are but small birds of their kind, Some dignitaries have stolen millions ot acres, stirred up real riots, and shot men down like dogs, and all with impunity.

Traditional of the Appearance of our Lord.

The earliest actual descriptions of Jesus are very late, yet it is possible that they may have caught some faint accent of tradition handed dowu from the days of Irencous, Papias, and St John. Nicephorus, quoting from a description given by John of Damas cus, in the eighth century, says that He resembl-d the Virgin Mary; that he was beautiful, and strikingly t-ill, with fair and slightly curling locks, on which no hands but His mother's had ever passed, with dark eyebrows, an oval countenance, a. pa'e and olive complexion, bright eyes, an atti tude slightly stooping, and a look expressive of patience, nobility, and wisdom. The famous letter which professes to have been addressed by " Lentulus, president of the people of Jerusalem, to the Roman .Senate." though not older than the twelfth century, is yet so interesting for the history of Christiin art, and so clearly derived from long current traditions, that we may here quote it entire. "There has appeared in our times," it says, "a ruau of great virtue named Christ Jesus He is a man of lofty stature, beautiful, having a noble countenance, so that they who look on Him may both loye and fear. He has wavy hair, rather crisp, of the colour of wine, and glittering as it flows down from His shoulders, with a parting in the middle of the head after the manner of the Naza renes. His forehead is pure and even, and .His face without any spot or wrinkle, but glowing with a delicate flush His nose and mouth are of faultless beauty ; tfe has a beard abundant and of the same hazel colour as His hair, not Ion", but forked. His eyes are blue and very bright. He is terrible in rebuke, calm and loving in ad monition, cheerful, but preserving gravity. He has never been seen to laugh.but often times to weep. His stature is erect, and His hands and limbs are beautiful to look upon. ln| speech He is grave, reserved, and modest; and He is fair among the children of men."— Canon Farrar,

How the Fly Walks.

The fly's apparatus for walking and holding on may thus be summed up : On a rough surface the insect appears to use its claws only ; on glass or on a ceiling, three pro cesses are brought into action—first, the " almost indefinite" number of hairs are brought down on the smooth sutface; a peculiar movement of the bristles then expels all the air from between or beneath the hair-like cushion; lastly a fluid is poured out round tho base of the entire hair-pad, and the expelled air,is thus pre vented from entering. A vacuum is in this manner secured and maintained so long as may be necessary. When the fly wishes to move, the flap, firmly pres-ed down on the glass, must be first raised, and this is accom plished by the hooked caws which lift up the thin edges of the hair-pad, and thus let in the air and destroy the vacuum. The movement of the claws in this process is very peculiar. Some notion of it may thus be gained : Let a reader supposo that a sucker is fixed to the tip of his little fin ger, and that this sucker hecomes'fastened to a table by atmospheric pressure ; let him also imagine the; tip of bis thumb to be armed with a number of fine hooks. He will be able to iift the edges of the little finger sucker by those thumb hooks, and thus the air will be admitted the sneker. Somewhat after this fashion does the fly loosen its foot from a surface of glass.— " Cassell's Popular Educator."

Mill and Wordsworth on Provi dence.

If John Mill were to get to hea ven, he^would hardly be content until he had made out howit all vras. For my part, I don't much trouble myself about the ma chinery of the place ; whether there is an operative set of angels or an industrial class ; I'm willing to leave all that. Nei ther do I ever quake on my bed like Words worth, trying to reconcile the ways of Pro vidence to my apprehension. I early came to the conclusion that I was not very likely to make it out cleaily ; the notions of the Calvinists seem what you cannot escape from—namely, that if its all known before hand, why, it all muat happen. This does not affect your actual work at all; and if you have faith that all ia just and true, why it won't harm you to shape any notions about it. I don't see that we do any good_ by puzzling our weak heads about such things while there is plenty of cle:ir work before them in the regions of practibility. In the meantime, I know-that I have uncontrolled power over one unit in creation, and it's my business in life to govern that one as well aa possible.—" Journal of CaroliD" Vi"

History of the Salvation Army.

GENERAL and Mrs Booth of the Salvntion Army conducted a great " council of war " in the Free-trade Hall, Manchester. Admis sion was by ticket, and there was a very large attendance, tbe hall being crowded in almost every part. Amongst those present were about sixty ofliccrs of the Lancashire division, some twenty of the general stall", and about 2,500 members or soldiers of the army. The proceedings were characterised by the greatest enthusiasm, commenced with singing, in which the audience were led by a baud, stationed on the platform. Prayer, offered by several persons, followed ; and after more singing, tiie Genkhal deli vered an address, in which he said he wns glad to be able to report in the most empha tic and confident manner possible that the Salvation Army was really moving forward All along the line they had reports of triumph, lie did not say but what they had their defeats here and there. 7 hey were sometimes sorely tried, and now and then they had to take a step backward ; but that, thai'k God, was very seldom. During the last two years, and especially within the last 18 months, their progress had boon more satisfactory and more uci'i dot! than ever before in their history. The movement was cominenc"d sixteen years ago, and at that time he little thought of what God was goin^to do. Many pc pie had a notion that, fired by some worldly ambition or grot earthly purpose, lie, with ,paper beforo him and plan of operations drawn up, sat down and said he "vould make this army, with generals and captains and the like. Nothing of the sort. He simply resolved, if possible, to^ct :it the perishing people around ; and perseverance had led to what they saw that day. People tulkcd of difficulties ; but had he not difficulties to encounter at the outset? he did not know a friend who would give him sixpence, or a soul who wouM lend him a hand. God, however, had helped him, and now there were tens of thousands of persons to bear witne»s to the fact. His ambition was to make Gotl's name crcat among men, and M sec his colours exalted, and Mod was going to accomplish the work through the ittstru n cntality of the despised Salvation Army. As showing the progress which they were making, he might mention that five years ago they had 21 stations, or corps as they were called. They now lnul 205, and they were adding to them at the r«te of five per week. Five years ago they had 30 separate paid officers, vow they had 485. Five years .since their poor people raised for the sup port of their corp<—and wheu he talked about their neople raising money he did not mean what they sent to head-quarters, but money which [they raised and spent them selves without those at head-quarter* touch ing it-at the rate of £4,(J00 per anuum ; most of whii'h money would otherwise have gone to the public houses. Five years ago they had 600 persons who were trained to spenk ; now they had at loist 20,000. Two years ago they began a newspaper with a circulation of 17,000 per week ; at the pre sent time the the circulation of the JKiir Cry was 200,000 per week, while the chil dren's newspaper had a eircula'ion of 50,000. La»t year they circulated upwards of nine millions of Salvation Army news papers. There was a great coming over to them of public opinion. It was stated in the London letter of one of the Manchester papers, he thought the Examiner taA Times, that morning, tint tho Archbishops of York and Canterbury and other great dignitaries were all agreed that they must have a Sal vation Army on Church of England lines, an amy which should work not in antago nism to but on friendly terms with the Salvation Army. They were now looking out for some clergymen who would under take the offices ot captains, generals, and the like.and the newspaper said it was quite sure no clergyman would undertake- thorn. If they would come to him he would find them clergymen to take the offices, but they would rather come and serve under the orig inal general. Ho knew that in the breasts of bishops and archbishops there was a most kindly fe-ling towards them. God was lai'ingthem up friend", and some people were beginning to be afraid that they would be spoiled by popularity, but of that thgre need be no fear. At tho cat of £15,000 the Army had purchased at Clapton, London, premise* to be U3ed as a training institution for its young male and female officers. £5,000 was to be spent in constructing a great congress hall, so that tho total expenditure would be £20,000. Towards that they had £11,000 already given and promised, so that they still needed £9,000. -Subsequently addresses were de livered by Mnjnr Fawcett, from the Black Country, Mrs liioth, who depicted the de plorable condition of the great masses of the people, and urged the necessity of work for their elevation oeing done, remarking that if the Christian and well-to-do classes of this country did not wake up and do something in this direction, thero was aterrible retribu tion of tears and blood in store for them and their children.

Scraps for the Curious.

" Were it not for our Indian empire," says an Englishman, " thousands of our middle class would be unable to find a remunera tive career "

The annual sale of pews at Henry Word Beecher's church took place a few days ago and realised $25,492, about $4,000 less than last year. The assessed value of the seats, in addition to these premiums, is nearly §13,000 more, so that the total pew rental of the church comes to nearly £10,000.

A learned and compassionate1 j'udpe in Texas, on passing sentence on John Jones, who had been convicted of murder, con cluded his remarks as follows :—" The fact is, Jones, that the court did not intend to order you to be executed before next spring, but the weather is very cold ; our jail, un fortunately, is in a very bad condition; much of the glass in the wludowsis brokon; the chimneys are In such a dilapidated state that no fire can be made to render your apartments comfortable ; besides, owing to the great number of prisoners, not mere than one blunket can be allowed to each. To sleep sound and comfortable, therefore, is out of the question. In con sideration of these circumstances, and wish ing to lessen your sufferings as much as possible, the court, in the exercise of its humane compassion, hereby orders you to be executed to-morrow morning as soon after breakfast as may be convenient to the sheriff and agreeable to you," Few persons, (esthetics excepted, who have the daily handling of the familiar coppers, are probably aware that in all the ola issues or the bronze coinage an unin tentional injustice has been done to Scot land. On ttie reverse side of these coins the heraldic device on Britannia's shield ought to be the same as that on the national flag (the union)—that is, the English cross of St. George,with the St. Andrew's cross, or saltire of Scotland, placed side by side with thej Irish,saltire. In all the early issues of bronze coinage the Scottish cross has been entirely ignored. The attention of the Deputy-Master of the Mint having been called to the omission, new dies were cut. and all the pence and half-pence of the coinage just completed are from the dies on which the shield of Britannia was altered to meet the objection. It may be added that this coinage was made at Messrs Heaton's mint in Birmingnam, hence the letter 'H' underneath the date.

The Original Robinson Crusoe.

Tlie following narra'ive of Captain Rogers, recimily re-publiHhctl, says : -" Our yawl, which we had sent ashore, did not return us soon us was expected, so we sent our pinnace, armed, to see the occasion of her stay. The pinauco returned immediately from the shore, and, and brought abund ance ot crawfish, with a man clothed in goats' skins who looked moro wild than the first owners of tliein. He had been on the island four years and four months. His uamo was Alexander Selkirk, a Sco'ch man, who had been muster of the Cinque Ports galley, a ship that came here with Captain Dumpier, who told me that this was the best man in her; so I immediately agreed with him to l>e a mate on board our ship. It was lie that made the liic last night, judging our ships to be English. During his stay on Juan Fernandez, he saw several ships pas< by, but two only anchoicd. He went to view them, ami linding them to be Spaniards, retired from them, upon which they shot at him. He said if they had been French ho would have surrendered himself to them ; but the (Spaniards in these parts be apprehended would kill him, or make a slave of him and send him to the mines. Some of the Spaniards came so noar him that ho had difficulty to make hia escape. They not only shot at him, but pursued him into the woods, where be concealed himself by climbing hro a tree. He was born at Largo, in the county of Fife, in Scotland, and list.il been bred to the sea from his youth. The reason of his bciiig left at .luan L'crnandcg was a dilFo'encc between him and the cupUiu, Ktrudling. lie bud with him atin1 lock, a hatchet, a knife, a kettle, and other things, with which he provided for himself very well us to food and lodging; but for the lir.it eight months he had much ado to bear up against melancholy, lie built two huts, which he covered with long grass and lined with goats' skins ; in one he dressed his victuals, in the other he slept. He git tire by rubbing two pieces of pimento wood to gether. He employed himself much in winging psalms and praying, He was at flint distressed by the want of bread and salt, but at length came to relish his meat well enough without cither. When his gunpowder failed, lie took the goats by speed of foot, for bis way of living and continual exercise of walking and running cleaned him of gross humours, so that lie could run with wonderful swiftness through woods and up rocks and hills. He kept an account of 500 ROats that lie had killed whilst there ; and he caught as many more, which lie marked on the ear and let go. His agility in pursuing a gnat bad oncu nearly cost him his life ; lie pursued with so much eagerness that he caught hold of it on the brink of a precipice, of which he was not aware, the bushes having hid it from him, so that he fell with the goat down the said precipice, a great height, mid was so stunned and bruised witn tin; fall that he narrowly escape! with life ; and when he came to his senses, found tho goat dead under him. He lay there twenty four hours before he could crawl to his hut, which was about a mile distant, and could not stir abroad again for many a day. In the season he had plenty of good turnips, which had been sown there by Captain Dnmpior's men, and have now overspread some acres of ground. He had cabbage from the cabbaeo trees, and sea-oned his meat with the fruit of the pimento, which is the sume as the Jamaica pepper. He found, also, a black pepper called mala.'ita, which was very good in stomach complaints. He soon wore out t.ll his shoes and clothes by running through the woods, and at last, by being accustomed to shift without them, his feet became so hard that he ran every where without annoyance, anl it was some time before ho could wenr shoes after he was with us, for not being used to any for so long, his feet swelled when he came to wear them again. lie was at first much pestered with cats and rats that bad bred in groat numbers from tome of each species which had got on shore from ships that put in hero to woi-d ant) water; but by cherish ing the cnt3 witli pieces of goat's flesh, they became so tanie that (hey would lie about him in hundreds, and soon deliver, d him from the rats. He likewise tamed some kids, and to divert himself would sing and dance with them and his cats; so that by the care of Providonce, arid vigour of liis you ill, being now about thirty years old, he came at last to conquer all the inconveniences of his solitude, and to be very easy. When his clothes were worn out lie nuuln himself a coat and cap of goat-skins, which he stitched together with little thongs of the same, ctu with his knife He had no other needle than a nail; and when his knife was worn to the back, lie made others of iron hoops that were left ashore. The climate is so good at Juan Fernandez that tho trees and grass are verdant all the year. The winter lasts no longer than June and July, and is not then sevoro; but sometimes there arc great rains. He saw no venomous' eronture on the island."

To Make Dresses Non-combustible.

The secret of impregnating stuffs for dress for security against fire has been discovered also by Mr Gleichmeir, chemist in Itudol statt, Thuringia, after manifold experi ments, and lias been published by him for universal use. Articles of dress, the above gentlemen writes, impregnated by the fluid discovered by mo, do not burn, even if held over a gas jet, but are only charre.i. The mixtures are : chloride of ammonia, 40 grammes ; biborate of soda, 10 grammes ; common kitchen salt, 5 grammes, are disolvcd in 300 grammes of boiling water, in this boiling not fluid tbe stuffs and articles arc soaked for an hour, then taken out, slightly wrung out and hung up for drying. \Vhite stuft's must be soaked by themselves. To impregnate white ball dresses : 30 grammes of starch are boiled with 500 grammes of water, to which, yet hot, are added chloride of ammonia, 60 grammes; biborate of soda, 15 grammes; salt, 8 grammes; after mixing these well, the whole is dissolved in 500 grammes of boiling water, and the dresses are treated as above. To make wood resist the fire so that it will not break out in flames, it has to be covered with a coating of the following: chloride of ammonia, 60 grammes ; biborato of soda, 15 grammes ; salt grains, 20 grammes, arc disolved in 500 grammes of boiling water, to which is added as much cbalk as is needed to form a kind of whitewash. Samples of muslin, paper, oakum, etc. impregnated with the above mentioned prescriptions did not, in spite of all attempts, break out in flames but were only charred by very slow degrees.

There is a fine moral in the story of how St Macarius talked with the skull of a mummy. A modern whohad this privclege granted to him wouldnaturally fall to asking questions about the history and manners of the land ot the Pharaohs. The saint had no interest in such matters, but asked the skull where its soul was located. " Deep in hell," it of course replied. " Are there any deeper.!' " Yes," said the skull, "the Jcwsarefrdeeper." "Are there any deeper yet!" "Yes; Christians who show by their deeds that they despise the doctrine of Christ."
