Vera Sassulitch.

—————

Few things which of late have occurred in Russia, where stirring events succeed one another with startling rapidity,. created so great a sensation as the Vera Sassulitch episode. The woman was born in 1850, and at seventeen years of age felt the justice— or suspicion—with which the ‘‘Empire of Discontent” is swayed. She was the school friend of the sister of Netchaieff, the cen- spirater whom Switzerland refused to ex- tradite. Miss Netchaieff was threwn into prison fer the offence of being her brother’s sister, and Vera Sassulitch was likewise im- prisoned for a the friend of, the con- spirators sister. For nine years she was a prisoner, and as such was subjected te brutal indignities. In 1876 she was liberated. A little overa year later all liberal-minded people in Ruasia were shocked by the brutality of General Tre- pog, whe had ordered the severe punish- ment of a political prisoner. Pogolin- hoff, who was guilty of the grievous offense of net having uncovered in Tepefi’s august presence. Vera Sassulitch, it is said, had never heard of Bogolinhoff, but she felt that by attracting attention te Trepoff she might end his tyrannies. Accordingly she sought an interview and shot him in the side. The wound was not fatal, but the woman was tried for her life. The jury embraced six members of the civil service, two merchants, a school in- spector, a nobleman, a student, and an art- ist. The audience of six hundred persons wasa splendid one, admitted by ticket, and was composed of people in high sta- tion. Though the offense was admitted, the sympathy of the audience and the gen- eral public was so great that she was ac- qitted. The audience greeted the verdict with cheers, and there was an attempt at a Nihilist demonstration, but the police in- terfered, and promptly killed several per- sons, Vera’s brother-in-law fired on the police, and then blew out his own brains. The woman escaped, and severe] months later was at a banquet in Geneva, where, si‘ting at Henri Rochfort’s right hand, she made so violent a speech that the Swiss autherities politely asked her to move on. From then until now her movements have not been a matter of public record.—N, Y. World.

-_——— —-~+- > Tux Londen “‘ Spectator” says: ‘‘ Tuters and governesses have all caught up a sys- tem from the prefessional writing masters, and the professional writing masters are all dominated by two ideas, which are radi- eally false. They all think that ‘ copper plate writing,’ the special hand of writing masters and bank clerks, is good writing, which it is not, being devoid of character, far too regular in form, and from the mul- tiplicity of fine upstrekes not easy to read ; and they all believe that certain mechanical motions, if carefully taught, will produce clear writing. They will not, and they do not.”

TsE congregation of Earltown have agreed to call the Rev. Wm. Grant, of West River, P. E. I, to be their minister.— Eastern Chronicle.

T'o the Editor of the Examiner.

Sirn,—On the night of the 3rd March last two masked men entered my house at Crapaud, in the middle of the night, through the windew, forced the keys from me, and stole from my drawer a draft that I had re- ceived from my husband in Colorade for $50, payable to me or order, and about twenty dollars in cash. :

I hereby give notice of the matter, in order thatthe Danks and the public may be cau- tioned about said draft, that the guilty par- ties may be brenght to justice

THE PANAMA CANAL—POLITICAL,

WasHincton, D. €., March 1, 1880.

If they do not look sharp, some ef our shrewd American capitalists may be taken in by the wiles of the men who spring from ‘‘efete Monarchies.” Thus a good many of them seem to take steck in the assumption that the Frenchman who pro- poses to ditch the Isthmus of a Panama is an engineer, and therefore competent to do a great work like that. The fact is DeLesseps is not an engineer atall. He was formeriy in the employ of the French government as Consul or something of that sort, and it was by one of those fortutious circumstances that nobody can account for that he got held of the job te construct the Isthmus Canal. It is probable that this accounts for his zeal for this Panama scheme, which Captain Eades and the best engineers pronounced impracticable. De Lesseps may turn out to be something of ahumbug.. At any rate we have much better talent in America for the carrying eut of American improvements.

Mr. Charles Nordoff, one of the leading newspaper autherities here, writes to the New York Herald that the anti-Third- Term Republicans, including George Wil- liam Curtis, will no longer eppose the nem- ination at Chicage of Senator Blaine. Their attitude will be similar to that of the Tam- many men toward Robinson, They will support anybody but Grant; in fact, he thinks Senater Blaine would unite all fac- tiens of the Republican, bring back all the Liberal Republicans and gain over some Democrats. In one respeet his prophesy is coming true almost before his ink is dry. The leading newspapers that opposed Blaine in 1876, are warmly favoring his nomination now, and it was through the anti Third-Term influence that the Illinois convention was postponed until May 19th, which isa great disappointment to Logan, as one of the boomers. By the way, I hear that there is a goed deal of bad bleod developing between the Washburn and Grant men in Illinois, and that they will knife each other. The impression is’ gain- ing ground that the Washburns are for Grant, merely as a stepping stone to some- thing for Washburn.

The new three and a half per cent re- funding Bill, whieh is the special order for Tuesday, finds new favor frem the signifi-

cant fact, it is discovered that Wm. H.

Vanderbilt, the railroad king, is down en the Treasury books fer $30,000,000 four percent. bonds, on which he has made a profit of $1,500,000 by the rise, besides the interest. It is now anticipated that the four per cents will soen be worth 1.10. If this is the case the friends of the 34 per cent. says there is no danger in trying a bend of a lower rate than 4 per cent.

Why Germany is Arming.

In the debate which followed the intre- duction of the Army Bill in the Reichstag, Von Moltke said, ‘‘All our neighbors are more er less safe from attacks in the rear and only need to present a front on one side. They have stationed a considerable pertion of their land ferces close to our borders, while our regiments are distri- buted equally over the whole ceuniry.

Since the conclusion of the Turk- ish war, Russia has considerably extended her military establishments,

and France has doubled her army. Meanwhile we have kept our troops within the proportion of one per cent. of our population. France has an army of 497,000 men, while Germany has only 401,- 000 soldiers. The peace strength of Russia is trice as great as ours. The full term of service in France is 20 years and in Russia 14 years, while in Germany it is enly 12 years. The degree in which our army is behind others can only be made up for by activity. I can only sin- cerely deplore the necessity cempelling us to impese a fresh saerifice on the German nation. We must preserve and uphold peace abroad, even as far as our strength allows ; and we shall perhaps not stand alone in that position. In this there is no threat, but a guarantee of peace, Without forces this end cannot be obtained.

Miss Aun H. Brewster writes from Rome that an English visitor to her house asked: ‘* Have you any ugly women in the United States? For surely only beautiful ones come to Europe from your country.” This stery

has been told here before.
