Conp Wsarnkr AND Storms. — Des- patches state that that the severest weather reported for years prevailed on Tuesday throughout the State of Michigan. At St. Vincent, near the Canadian line, a spirit thermometer indicated 58 degrees below zero! A heavy rain was general on Tues- day and Wednesday aleng beth sides of the Ohio River and a flood is feared, the river having risen nine feet in 24 hours, while a tributary rose ten feet in 12 hours. Much loss has been entailed by lumber and logs being caught by the sudden rise and floated down-river. In Kentucky, the rain on Wednesday was said to be the heaviest in twenty years.
A Delphos special to the Cinnati, Ohio, ‘‘Enquirer,” says: Bernard Pickers, an old German resident, was called to his door at two yesterday morning and confronted by three men, who demanded money. He refused, and in the scuffle was shot and instantly killed. His wife came to Pick- ers’ assistance, when she was seized and threatened with death if she did not dis- close where the meney was. She began to scream, when the men gagged and bound her with a rope and placed the soles of her feet to the fire, until, unable to endure the torture longer, she told where the money was. This was taken, and the criminals left without leaving any clue.”
It is not eften that a subject ventures to challenge his sovereign ; but this was re- cently done by the Swedish poet Bjornson. King Oscar, who has a considerable reputa tion as an author, takes a strong interest in contemporary Swedish literature, and is sometimes rather free in his criticisms of well-known writers. He lately passed an unfavorable judgment ona new work by Bjornson, expressing at the same con- tempt for the general character of the werk. The indignant poet at once wrote to His Majesty, demanding that he should either apologize for the insult or grant the only satisfaction that would be accepted by a man of henor. The King was prosaic enough to hand the letter to the police au- thorities of Stockholm, who forthwith in- stituted proceedings against the writer.
| Bjornson suddenly discovered that a change
of air would suit him, and has now ample leisure to consider whether a king should have the right to express a literary opinion only at the risk of his life.

Canadian Christmas Stuff.
We are pleased to observe that in addition to grain, potatoes and cattle, Canada is shipping to England large quantities of what is generally called Christmas stuff. Last year a considerable quantity of poul try—especially turkeys—was shipped from this country to Liverpool and other Eng- lish ports and met with success. Prepara tions have been made for sending largely incrensed shipments of these articles. At this moment several thousand turkeys, fowls, geese and other poultry, both alive and in ice, are on their way hence or have arrived at Liverpool. It is understood that one lot of 10,000 turkeys is intended for the Parisian markets. Little did those in- nocent bipeds imagine, while they were at. taining their full growth and breathing the free air on Canadian farms that they were destined to tickle the palates of English- men, Frenchmen or Germans thousands of miles from the peaceful country sides where they were brought up.
Nothing is so earily or so cheaply ‘‘raised” in this country as poultry, and we trust that the business will so grow, that hundreds in the old countries who never would have tasted our continental bird, will have an opportunity to do so at a reasonable rate, at the same time paying a handsome profit to our raisers and those
‘who ship them. There is and there will be | money in the poultry market.—Hz. Re-
porter.

A Picture of Life in Russia.
SUMMARY OF THE ARTICLES FOR PRINTING
WHICH THE ‘* GOLOS’ WAS SUSPENDED. (St. Petersburg Correspondence of the Lon- don Zimes.)
The diarist devotes his first entry to an outburst of complaint regarding the enor- mous rise in the prices of all the necessaries of life. He especially refers to the enhanc-
ed price of grain in the south of Russia and to the dearness also of wooed. The masses have now to consume straw in their stoves, and even this fuel has risen in price from 30 kopeks to 1 rouble and 20 kopeks per pound. The north fares no betier than the south, for there, too, the cest of bread has risen in less than two years 75 per cent. and salt 50 per cont. The Russian moujik eats no more meat than he did formerly ; the cattle plague is no new thing in Russia; meats can be transported at much cheaper rates than before, and yet this article of eonsumption continues to rise in value. Life has become dearer, and still deople do not value the lives any more. Nothing but suicides by d:owning, shooting or the knife are re- ported from every side. Even the tallow candle has become dearer. On Tuesday agriculture is the butt ef the diarists’ sar- casm. More than a year ago new statutes were established for the lower agricultural schools, but, as usual, they never emerged from the region of project and theory. Ma- terials enough were amassed by the com- mission to convince a blind man of the necessity of edueating the agricultural classes of Russia. But this necessity was no novel idea, The commission also be- lieves that it is possible to teach agricul- ture in our national schools, but a teacher of a St. Petersburg school, who once took it into his head to instruet his scholars in natural history, brought down upon his head the wrath of the press and the Terri- torial Assembly. It is also propesed to teach trades in national schools, A population, for example, is engaged in the iron industry, and carpentering is made compulsory in the schools, although there is prebably not a tree mor a bush within miles of the settlement. ‘‘it is easy to talk about the introduction of acientific agriculture among the Russian rural popu- lation and of technical knowledge in the national schools, but by whom is it to be done! By the Zemstrow? These institu- tions a year ago spent vast sums oi money for the purpese witheut any result. Of course it cannot be done all at once. By degrees we shall succeed in teaching in our schools those trades and industries by which the local inhabitants exist; in the course of another ten years we may begin on agricultuaal education and then not all at once. For the sake of cenformity, we can commence educating the populatien in agriculture in those districts where there is net an acre of ground to plough.” The Golos next refers to the dis- honesty practissd in the pecuniary. concerns of the commune authorities. The press almost entirely ignores the malprac- tice and embezzlemeuts which are so com- mon inthe rural commune. [ff all the de- ficits disclosed by the occasional revision of communal funds were reckoned up, they would amount to millions. Threats of tor- ture have been used in certain districts ag arguments for the conversion of Stundists to erthodoxy. Refractory members were flogged. One woman, named Pruskowia Shimenko, waa flogged to within a short cance of her life, as testified by medical evidence. No feeling was stirred in the breast of any of the one thousand witmesses of this barbarous scene, not even when the poor woman cried eut in pain, ‘‘ Lord, for- give them, for they know not what they de.” This castigatien Was evidently pre- meditated, for many of the spectaters were persons who had purposely come from long distances. Nineteen years will soon have passed since the emancipation of the serfs, and during all this time the whip and stick have net disappeared from the self- adminstratien of the peasant. Such bar- bar:sm does not harmonize with the respect due to the individual man. What do we see! The flaggellation of Stundists, the burning of witches, the murder of a dumb men suspecting of spreading rinderpest, the drowning of a drunkard who in his cups threatened to burn down a village. This is the way in which the commune ex- ercises it authority over the individual. An elder directed the auto da je of the witch, and an elder ordezed the cruel treat- ment of the Stundists. Who hold the whip more tenaciously in their hands than the elders or the village communes! The first step in peasant reform is to destroy this arbitrary power over individuals.

Read and Learn for Yourself.
Many valuable discoveries and much use- ful knowledge is kept from the world, be. eause of the immense expense in making them known to the people. This is not the ease with Boschees German Syrup, although but -a few years introduced into this ¢oun- try, its sale now reaches in every town and village in the U. S. Its wonderful success in curing Consumption, severe Coughs, Pneumonia, Asthma, and all other diseases of the throat and lungs, wes first made known by distributing every year, for three years, over 400,000 bottles to the afflicted, free of charge, by Druggists. No such atest of merit was ever given before to any other preparation. Could you ask more? Goto
your druggist and get a bottle for 75 cents and try it. Sample bottles 10 cents.
