A RUSSIAN HEROINE.

Trial and Acquittal of the Girl Who Shot Gen. Trepoff. .Avenging; the Insnlt Oflerd to m Polltleal Prisoner at tbe Risk of Her . Life Fuller Details or lb . Excitement In St. Petersburg. HU Petersburg Cor. London Times. All the world here is at present talking abont the trial of Vera Z&sulitcb, the young person who, about two months ago. made an attempt on the life of Gen. Trepoff. the prefect of the city. The trial was held on Friday, and since that time the political complications and the eastern question have been quite thrown to the background. The incident which gave rise to "the affair Zaaulitch" happened on the J5th of July of last year. At that time a considerable number of young people of both sexes accused of revolutionary propaganda were confined In one of the St. Petersburg prisons. Some of them were already condemned, and others were awaiting trial. On the morning of July 25 General Trepoff visited the prison and found some of the prisoners walking about and talking with each other in the inner court. This seemed to him an infraction of the prison rules, and he asked explanations. One of the prisoners, Bogoluboff, replied that he was already condemned, and that he was HOT ISFRISGINU ANY EI'LK In talking to one who was not implicated in tbe same affair as himself. The answer appeared to the general impertinent, and accordingly Bogoluboff was ordered to the cell for disciplinary punishment. On his way thither he again met the prefect, and this time did not take off his cap. Irritated by this want of respect, the general raised his hand, apparently with tbe intention of striking. Whether he really struck or not is uncertain, but Bogol abort's cap fell to the ground, and suddenly loud expressions of indignation issued from the open windows of the surrounding cells. General Trepoff resolved to make an example of Bogoluboff, and accordingly ordered him to be flogged with birch twigs. The order was executed in one of the corridors, and gave rise to a new disturbance similar in kind to the preceding one. From the prison the excitement and indignation soon spread to the friends" of the prisoners, and from them to the public generally. Among the many who were indignant at the so called "hashi bazoukism" of the prefect was Vera Zasulitch, daughter of an officer of the line. Though only about twtntysix years of age, she bad already considerble experience of police discipline in its milder forms. At the age of seventeen she had been ARRESTED ON FIPPICIOS of being implicated in revolutionary designs, and, after two years' confinement, had been liberated without having been brought to trial. A few days after her liberation she was again arrested, and was despatched to K rest si. She was told she must live there under police supervision until further orders. This was in April. 171. In June she was allowed to live in Tver with a brother-in-law. who was kept there under police supervision. Next year the brother-in-law was suspected of having given prohibited books to the seminarists, and was accordingly transferred to a small town further eastward. Vera was brought to SL 1'etersburg to be questioned about the prohibited books, and was then despatched to her brother-in-law's new domicile. Toward the end of 1S73 she was transferred to KharkofT, and remained there till September, 1S75, when she was at last liberated. How she formed the resolution of shooting General TreDoff mav be best described in

her own words: "Having arrived in St, Petersburg, I heard about the incident in the prison from various people. About Bogoluboff I heard that he had been flogged till he stopped shrieking. As I had myself experienced long solitary confinement I could imagine what a frightful impression the whole atlair must have produced on all the political prisoners, not to speak of those who bad been subjected to maltreatment. I know by experience the morbidly excited, nervous condition produced by solitary imprisonment, and the majority of prisoners in question had been already confined more than three years. Some of them had gone mad, and others had committed suicide. What cruelty it waa to make them bear all that, simply because one of them had not taken oir bis cap when he met an official tbe second time. Such a thing ouht not to pass unnoticed. I waited to see whether some one would take the matter in hand. BUT ALL WERE SILENT, and nothing prevented Trepoff or any other influential official from repeating such arbitary acts. I determined, at the price of my own ruin, to prove that a human being may not be insulted in that way with impunity. It is a terrible thing to raise one's hand against a fellow creature, but I could find no other means. .... It was all the same to me whether I killed or wounded the prefect; and when I fired at him I did not aim at any particular place." The case was tried by a jury in the ordinary way, and full publicity was secured by sending tickets of admission to the leading representatives of the press. On the bench behind the judges sat some ot the highest dignitaries of tbe realm, among others the imperial chancellor, prince Gortschakoff. At 11 o'clock the three judges young men in dark blue uniforms adorned with gold lace took their places on the bench, with the public prosecutor on the right hand and the clerk of the court on the left, in uniforms not easily distinguished from those of the judges. The jury was duly impaneled and the witnesses examined. The prosecutor showed good and sufficient reasons why the prisoner should be condemned, while the counsel for the defense showed good and sufficient reasons why she should be acquitted. Then the judge summed up, and the jury retired to consider their verdict The accused admitted that she had dangerously wounded General Trepoff, and waa quite indifferent as to whether she wounded or killed him. The jury returned a verdict of "not guilty," and the public, on hearing this decision, expressed their approval in wild, vociferous applause. The case was in many respects a peculiar one. In the first place there was a strong feeling of indignation at the way in which the prisoners bad been treated, and especially at tbe way in which General Trepoft had acted toward Bogoluboff. In no country of the world, perhaps, is there SriH A STROSO FEELING AGAINfT COKPORAL PC5ISHME5T of all kinds as in Russia. In the country where 30 years ago the knout and the rod played a very prominent part In tbe judicial and administrative institutions, a schoolboy would now consider himself disgraced for life if he were subjected to a little patriarch ial castigation with the birch. There are instances on record of boys having committed suicide because their human dignity had received an indelible stain in that way. When the counsel for the defense described the groans of BogolubafT aa "the groans of humiliated, Insulted human dignity," bis words called forth from the audience a burst of applause. In the second place, the appearance and bearing of the prisoner, and some of the biographical details which transpired, won for her the sympathy of the audience, jyfodest and unpretentious in manner and attire, and without any straining after theatrical effect, she replied frankly and respectfully to all the questions which were put to her. "Without eicx fcaviag bea con

demned by a court of law, she had spent tbe best years of her life in prison or under police supervision, and bad resolved to sacrifice the remainder of it to an idea, for she had never seen the man whom she determined to avenge. In vain the public prosecutor pointed out to the jury that these considerations should have little or no weight with them; that they were not called upon to judge General Trepoff or the prison authorities; that the prisoner herself bad been guilty of the arbitrary, illegal conduct which she condemned in others. Exhortations of this kind had very little influence on the jury or the public. For both, the question at issue was whether glaring ad ministrative abuses should be excused or condemned, and tbe verdict was universally regarded as a public reprimand to a high-: placed official who had arbitrarily overstepped the limits of his authority. A Moslem on England. The conquest of Turkey by Russia nas, according to a correspondent of the Allgemeine Zeitung, who writes from northern Africa, produced an Impression on the Mohammedan world of which Europeans have but little idea. A learned Mohammedan, "whose culture is derived entirely from Arab sources," said to the correspondent the other day, "It is Allah's will that the Russians should become tbe rulers of Stamboul; but it is also his will that their empire should embrace all the lands of Europe and Asia, as did in former times the empires of the great Iskander (Alexander) and the great Kissar (Cicsar)." While thus speaking the Mohammedan had tears in his eyes, and his countenance showed an expression of resigned sorrow. "It is better," he continued, "that a great Christian emperor should be paramount over the Moslems than a timid nation of traders, who dishonorably encourage their friend to make war. promising him

their aid at the decisive moment, but in the I hour of danger, instead 01 Keeping tneir word, sacrifice him to his mortal enemy. Aib allhuni (shame upon them)! But God will punish them. Those who imagine that they can buy off every danger with their money will not avoid the fate they deserve. We once thought them our brothers, and trusted in their word; now we see that they are liars. The Muscovite was our open enemy; he made no secret of it; he conquered us openly in the field. It is better to serve him altogether than to be torn to pieces by dogs. The empire of the traders in Hind is lost; the Moslem of India will rise to avenge their betrayed brothers. Ismail Pasha .will shut up tbe great canal, so that no English ship may pass it. The harbors of Stamboul and Muscovy will be closed to the English so that no corn laden ship shall supply them with any more provision. All the nations even the Jews will despise England. The English will be driven from Malta; and the emperor of Morocco, together with the king of Spain, will force them by famine to give u- their fortress of Diebel el Tarik." T Removing Spots from Furniture. ICountry Gentleman. It frequently happens that a cup or bowl of hot water is set down on varnished furniture, and leaves an unsightly spot on the polished surface. This can be easily removed by wetting a bit ot soft flannel in alcohol, and rubbing over the place briskly. When the marks are all effaced, take another cloth with a drop or two of boiled linseed oil, and rub over it slightly, and the sharpest eyes can never see a vestige of tbe tain. In case a black stain gets upon furniture, a few drops of spirits of ammonia rubbed on it will take it all off; then rub with oil. A bottle of boiled oil is a very great convenience, but it ts better to use a small bit of flannel, and after using it once burn it up, so that by no accident it can ever ignite and do mischief. Caution is always the parent of safety, .and an oiled rag is not worth saving. Old rags of any kind are not ornamental, either to shelves or hanging around the walls. This la a Reform Administration. I Boston Post, There was a time when it would have been considered decidedly beneath the dignity of the president of the United States to publicly announce his readiness to chip in for a campaign fund; but this is a reform administration you know. Tbe Common Enemy. In order to make headway against the common enemy, Disease, it Is necessary to oppose him with persistence. It very frequently happens that a remedy perfectly adequate to tne necessities of the case, if pernuttcd in, is condemned and thrown aside because a few doses j of it do not care a malady. How unreasonable and unjust would such a Judgment be regarding Hostetter's Htomach Bitters, one ot the most popular and highly sanctioned medicines of the day, a potent lnvigorant and an Invariably successful remedy for constipation, dyspepsia, liver complaint. Incipient rheumatism and gout, inactivity and weakness of the kidneys and bladder, and for the lntlrmltics incident to the decline of life. No fact is better established than the above, yet In order to experience its truth, those afflicted wltb obstinate forms of disease should give this benignant curative a patient trial. If they do, they may rely upon decisive curative results. Special Invitation.

The shakes, or chills, once broken by it. do not return until the disease is contracted again. This has made it an accepted remedy and trusted specific for the Fever and Ague of the west and the Chills and Fever of the South. Ayer"s Ague Cure erad icates the noxious pol son from the system and leaves the patient a well as before the attack. It thoroughly expels tbe disease, so that no Liver Complaints, Kheumatism, Neuralgia, Dysentery or Debility follow the cure. Ineeed, where Disorders of the Liver and Bowel bave occurred from Mis asmatic Poison, it removes tne cause of them and they disappear. Not only is it an effectual cure, but, it taken occasionally by patie nts exposed to malaria, it will eipe) the poison and protect them from attack. 'Travelers and temporary residents In Fever and Ague localities are thus enabled to defy the disease. The Ueneral Debility which Is so apt to ensue from continued exposure to Malaria and Miasm, has no speedier remedy. For Liver Complaint, it is an excellent remedy. PREPARED BY DR. J. C.

DR. PIERCE'S STANDARD

REMEDIES Are not advertised as "cure-alls," but are specifics in the diseases for which they are recommended. NATURAL SELECTION. Investigators or natural science have demonstrated beyond controversy, that throughout the animal kingdom th ''survival of the fittest" is the only law that vouchsafes thrift and perpetuity. Does not the same principle ?;overn the commercial prosperity of man? An nferlor can not supercede a superior article. By reason of superior merit, Dr Pierce's Standard Medicines have outrivaled all others. Their sale in tne United 8tates alone exceeds one- million dollars per anrum, while the amount exported foots up to several hundred thousand more. No business could grow to such gigantic proportions and rest upon any other basis than that of merit. DR. SAGE'S Catarrh Iemeclyr In Pleasant to 17ae. DR.

SAGE'S Catarrh Remedy Cares "Cold in Head" and Catarrh, - or Ozcpiia. AN OPEN LETTER. It Speaks for Itself. ROCKPOKT, Mass., April 2, 1877. Mb. Editor Having read in your paper reports of the remarkable ceres of catarrh, I am induced to tell "whaj, I know about catarrh," and I fancy the "snuff" and "mnaling tube" makers (mere dollar grablers) would be glad if they could emblazon a similar cure In the papers. For 2tt years I suCered with catarrh. The nasal passages became completely closed. "Snuff," ,.'du8t.,'r"aRhe8,""inhaling tubes" and "sticks" wouldn't work, though at intervals I would sniff upthe so-called catarrh snuff until I became a valuable tester for such medicines. I gradually grew worse, and no one can know how much I suffered or what a miserable being 1 was. My head ached over my eyes so that I was confined to my bed lor many successive days, suffering the most Intense pain, which at one time lasted continuously for 16s hours. All sense of smell and taste gone, sight and hearing impaired, body shrunken and weakened, nervous system shattered, and constitution broken, and I was hawking and spitting seveneighths of the time. I prayed for death to relieve me of my "uttering. A favorable notice in your paper of Dr. Safe's Catarrh Remedy induced me to purchase a package and use ft with Dr. Pierce's Nasal Douche, which applies tbe remedy by hydrostatic pressure, the only way compatible with common sense. Well, Mr. Editor, it did not cure me in three-fourths of a second, nor in one hour or month, but in less than eight minutes I was relieved, and in three months I was entirely cured, and have remained so for over sixteen months. While using the Catarrh Remedy, I used Dr. Pierce's UoMen Medical Discovery to purify my blood and strengthen my stomach. I also kept my liver active and bowels regular by the use of his Pleasant Purgative Pellets. If my experience will induce other sufferers to seek the same means of relief, this letter will have answered its purpose. Yocrs truly, 8. I. REMICK. A CLOUD OF WITNESSES.
