Death of the Czar.

--The American people do not believe in assassination as a remedy for political or social evils, nor d<> the American\people believe in despotism, as practiced in Russia. No good citizen of America’s 50,000,000 inhabitants wante to take human life. But in self-defense they will kill. They will slay a burglar or a highway robber as readily as they would a wild beast, if the protection of their persons or their homes require it. Russia** despotism can find no sympathy in America. Here the fundamental idea is that life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are inalienable rights. This idea is extending its conquests —permeating society everywhere. It overleaps al lioundarles. It rises above all barriers. It defies all edicts and challenges armies and dynasties. It warms every human heart that is not dead to human needs. » It glows in all eyes that are capable of discerning human destiny.. it freshens in every cohscience not seared by the fires of bigotry and prejudice. it will triumph in the connct uriless the throne of eternal justice becomes like the Dead Sea fruit. In contemplating the death of the Czar the mind at once drifts away from the wreck wrought by the assassin’s instrument of death to Russian prisons and dungeons and Siberian mines, where thousands of Russians and Poles are suffering such death tortures as only fiends could inflict, for the high crime of hungering and thirsting after liberty—for uttering such great words as made Patrick Henry immortal —sud.h words as sent Emmet to the scaffold and Davitt to prison—such words as are coined by martyrs and pass current everywhere among the lovers of liberty. To these victims of Russian tyranny their is a warm current of human sympathy fdrever flowing. In the presence of the tortures of the victims- of Russian absolutism, human indignation, hot as a lava tide, bums the last lingering relic of regard for the mpnsters who inflict them out of the soul. The Czar, whose violent death has been announced, had it in bis power to release these lovers of freedom from their living tombs. Instead of doing that, he added to their number. Women and men, old and young, had caught the infection of liberty. They had read the Declaration of American Independence, and they ventured to express desires for which the human soul is forever pleading. As schools and books increased, the down-trodden millions of Russia learned more of their God given rights, and Alexander 111., who claims to be Emperor, and autocrat of all the Russias, Czar of Poland and Grand Duke of Finland, by the grace of God will find it exceedingly difficult to keep life in his body unless he broadens the area of Russian liberty. He may. call , upon all the Russian people to pray for him, and command them to swear fidelity to him and his boy, Duke Nicolai, but unless he recognizes the fact declared by Peter the Apostle, who was< greater than Peter the ’ Great that “God is no respecter of person,’’.and makesit a prominent feature of his reign,, he will be constantly in danger. The assassination of Alexander 11. is referred to by Alexander HI- by paying: “It has pleased Almighty God, in his inscrutable will, to visi» Ruzda with a heavy blow,’’ etc. We doubt not that it pleases God to see the shackles fall from the limbs of the oppressed victims of tyranny. Were it not so, Americans would be infidels in an hour. The way to end the conflict is for autocrats to yield, to abandon the the idea of “divine right’’ to rule—the idea that thrones are inherited with right to lord it over men whom God has created their equals. The assassination of Alerander 11. is an event that will shake every throne in Europe. The. guilty men who have oppressed their fellow-men will not rest easy upon their pillews. They are likely to feel that the god of retribution has marked them for sacrifice, And if they harden their hearts, and stiffen their necks, they only the more mvite destruction. The Bofers in South Africa, the famishing sons and laughters of Ireland.the thriee-cursed victims of Russia rule iu Poland, the 'laggard inhabitants of prisons and penal colonies, whose crimes' were . *ove of freedom, mingle their wails .vfth the mourners around the bier of :he dead Czar, and their friends tell that, catching inspiration from the genius of American liberty, they will work out their emancipation through ‘very crowned head has to fall. It is .he spirit that inspired Washington »nd his compatriotsjiu the fiercestrug'le with King George, and it is a spirit that will live and animate the human family until the last victim of lespotism stands forth crowned with *ll the rights of free’ men.—lndianapilie Sentinel. . ‘

Queens of the Cabinet.

Seldom, writes a Washington correspondent, has it been that, in the selection of a cabinet, the wives of members enjoyed such distinction, apart from th*e reputation of their husbands, as do some of those. Qf the present administration. Mrs. Blaine is a fine-looking lady, tall, with good features, and her hair well sprinkled with gray. She is pleasant in her manners, a ready conversationalist, and shrewd. Her long experience in public life has made her a valuable acquisition to the administration, or at least to that part of it represented by her husband. She can keep a secret and ward off the inquisitive. Mrs. Blaine possesses those peculiar qualifications which make a wife a great comfort and aid to a public man. Mrs. Windom is a fine, matronly lady, who has never shown any disposition for society and its frivolities. While she always dresses in good taste, in either black silk or satin, or some solid color, there is nothing dashing to distinguish her in a crowded reception room. She appears to the best advantage in the home circle. The. oddest fish in the cabinet basket is Samuel J. Kirkwood, the secretary of the interior. He is a plain man, and has an agricultural appearance but the -one who picks him up as aflat will be mistaken. Little is known of his wife beyond the fact that she is an estimable lady, who partakes In a measure the quiet manner of her busband, and has a limited circle of acquaintances. Secretary Lincoln’s wife was’Mary Harlan, daughter of ex-Benator Bar-

lan, a woman of exquisite loveliness. In her younger days the suitors for her hand were numbered by the score. Her presence in the charmed circle of the cabinet will add to its brilliancy. The fact that Mrs. MacVeigh is Simon (’ameron’s daughter has given her a reputation which haa preceded her here. She is tall, graceful of figure, and, having spent jeers in society with her father when he waa in the zenith of his political glory and power, conies well prepared for the new honors which both her husband and herself will receive. Those who know her intimately say that she possesses in a marked degree many of the characteristics which distinguish her father, and that these traits are more largely developed than in any of her relatives. Having been brought up in a political atmosphere, she has acquired the faculty of reading men and women at a glande; and I am told that hers had been the directing mind in many of the movements made by her husban<V Mrs. Hunt will be the belle of the cabinet beyond a doubt. She is a beautiful blonde, agreeable in manner and cultivated in taste. Mrs. Hunt is one of the bast educated ladies in Washington, and withal a brilliant society woman. Her, circle of acquaintances is large and she entertains with true southern liberality. Post master has a lovely wire, who will be an ornament to society here.

“Awfully Lovely” Philosophy.

A few days ago a Boston girl who had been attending the school of philosophy at Concord, arrived in Brooklyn on a visit to a seminary chum. After canvassing thoroughly the fun and gumdrops that made up the education in the seat of learning at which their early scholastic efforts were made, the Brooklyn girl began to inquire into the nature of the Concord entertainment. “And so you are taking lessons in phflosephy. How do you like it?” “O! ft’s perfectly lovely. It’s about science, you know, and we all just dote on science.” * “It must be nice. What is it about?” ;

“It’s about molecules as much as anything else, and moleculas are just too awfully nice anything. If there’s anything I really epjoy it’s molecules.” “Tell me about them, my dear. What are molecules?” “O! molecules! They are little wee things, and it takes ever so many of them. They are splendid things I Do you knew, there ain’t anything but what’s got molecules in it. And Mr. Cook is just as sweet as he can be, and Mr.Emeraon too. They explain eveiything so beautifully.” “How I’d like to go there!” sai-i the Brooklyn girl enviously. “You’d enjoy it ever so much. They,teach protoplasm. I really don’t know which I like best, protoplasm or molecules.” •

“Tell'me about protoplasm. I know I should adore it.” “ ’Deed you would. It’s just too sweet to live. You know its about how rhings get started, or something of that kind. You ought to hear Mr. Emerson tell about it. It would stir your very soul. The first time he explained about protoplasm there wasn’t a dry eye In the house. We named our hats after him. This is an Emersun hat. You see the ribbon is thrown over the crown and caught with a buckle and a bunch of flowers. Then you turn up tne side with a spray of forget-me-nots. Ain’t it just too sweet? All the girls In school have them.” “How exquisitely lovely! Tell me some^more.science.” , “O! I almost forget about differentiation, lam really and truly, positively in love with differentiation. It’s different from molecules and protoplasm, but it’s every bit as nice. And Mr. Cook! You should hear him go on about it! I really believe he’s perfectly bound up in it. This scarf is the Cook scarf. All the girls wear them, and We named them after him on account of the interest he takes in differential ion.”

“What is it, any way?” “This is mull trimmed with Languedoe lace —” “I don’t mean that—that other.” “O! differentiation! ain’t it sweet? It's got something to do with species. It’s the way you tell one hat from another, so you know what is becoming. And we learn all about ascidians too. They aie the divinest things! I’m absolutely enraptured with ascidians. If I only had an ascidian of my own! I wouldn’t ask anything else in the world.” “What do they look like, dear? Did you ever see one?” asked the Brooklyn girl, deeply interested, “O! no; nobody ever saw one except Mr. Cook and Mr. Emerson, but they are something like an oyster with a reticule hung on its belt. I think they are just heavenly.” “Do you learn anything K Ise besides?” “O yes, rhetoric and those common things like metaphysics, but the girls don’t care anything about those. We are just in estacies .over differentiations and molecules, and Mr. Cook and protoplasm, and ascidians and Mr. Emerson, and I really .don’t see why they put in those vulgar branches. If anybody besides Mr. Cook and Mr. Emerson had done it we should have told him to his face that he was too terribly, awfully mean.” And the Brooklyn girl went to bed that night in the dumps, because fortune had not vouchsafed her the advantages enjoyed by her friend.— Brooklyn Eagle.

A Sale of Valuable Books.

The third part of the American library of the late George Brinley, of Hartford, is to be sold in New York early in April. The catalogue contains 2,700. titles, for some of which there will be a lively competition among collectors and libraries. The first book printed with types, the Guttenberg Bible, is among them. This copy has been described as “the most beautiful of all known copies on paper. It is not only the tallest, and almost uncut, but it is of -remarkable freshness and purity.” Mr. Perkins’ (vellum) copy was sold in 1873 in London for 117,000. His paper copy was sold the same year for $13,450. Mr. Brinley’s copy is the first one offered for public sale in this country, and it is not unlikely to be the last. The collection also contains one of the earliest productions of the press in America. [Rikel: Juan Cromberger, Mexico, 15441—exemplaire magnifique—a century before the Bay Psalm book, in Gothic letter, on English vellum as bright and clean as the day it was printed. Here also are three copies of Eliot’s Indian Bible, John Allan’s famous copy of the first edition [Cambridge, mDCLXIII]: Gov. Stoughton’s copy ofthe second edition (1680), and also Jonathan Edwards' copy. To these should be added the very rare edition of Saur’s German Bible, [Germantown, 1743], the first Bible printed In America in a European language. The collection is especially rich in early biography and personal history; military and naval history; Indian language and history; and in psalms, hymns and church music generally.

It is understood the president has decided to recall General Longstreet, minister to Turkey, and appoint him United States marshal for Georgia. The nomination to the latter place will probably be sent to the senate in a day or two. The coinage at the. Philadelphia mint during March was 4,561,800 pieces, valued at $8,798,401. Of iMs amount $4,871,800 was eagles, $3,298,400 half eagles, and $800,500 silver dollars.

The American Pork Market

The acting British Consul at Phibkdelphia has succeeded in arousing a gennine sensation by his false report to the home government respecting the prevalence of trichina among ■wine In this country. He alleges that 700,000 hogs died of cholera in 1880, in Illinois alone, and then recites two or three cases where death was produced by trichina from eating pork. He also alleges that butter and cheese are made from lard and grease taken from places where hogs die from cholera. The language of this report shows the consul to oe a man of great ignorance and easily imposed upon, A committee of the New York Produce exchange called upon him to ascertain his source of information, but he refused to disclose it. He seems not to know that cholera and trichina have no connection; that thousands die from each of the other diseases to which flesh, is heir, where one person dies from tricniniasls; that cnolera prevails mostly among young pigs, and is as natural to them as cholera infantum is to children; and finally, that swine were vastly more healthy in 1880 than they were in 1879 and for several previous years, while nothing injurious to the health of the British people had heretofore been experienced.

But all this exaggeration and misstatement, following on the heels of the unfriendly action taken by France on this same subject, and followed, as it is, by lying secret telegrams daily to the Liverpool Board of trade, reiterating the prevalence, and fatality of these diseases among American hogs, is not only calculated to create great alarm among the people of Great Britain, but deal a ruinous blow to the export trade in the pork products of this country. The importance of this trade can be best understood when it is known that the value of the annual food products exported from the United States in 1880 amounted to $162,200,000, and nearly one-third of this amount in value, in the shape of bacon, hams and salted pork, went to Great Britain alone. The people of those Islands are almost dependent on the United States for their supply of meats, and to cut off that supply would cause almost universal distress. It is, therefore, to be hoped that the truth will soon be made clear, and the pre udice excited be allowed to speedily subside.

The motive of these lying reports, however, is most reprehensible, and if it were guessed they had their origin in an effort to destroy the market for speculative purposes, the guess would probably not be far from the truth.— Hl. State Journal.

On The Downward Career

The Denver (Col.) Republican says: “Edward J. Murdock, an insurance clerk, Who was advertised over the country last fall on account of heavy swindle at Cincinnati, has just left Denver under circumstances that place him strongly under suspicion of having found another victim here, though he had not the opportunities here for such heavy transactions as characterized his Cincinnati career. About the Ist of September Murdock left Cinninnati and came to Denver, where he found employment with Messrs Bates, Chittenden & Co., being cautious to keep from that firm all knowledge of his Cincinnati transactions. There is testimony that one day an insurance periodical came to the office of Bates, Chittenden & Co., while Mr. Bates was at Leadville. The paper fell first into the hands of Murdock, who, seeing in it a statement concerning the Cincinnati affair, tore it. out, remarking’, ‘Bates’ll never know who did it.’ In the meantime, Mutdock roomed at 220 Twelfth street, with three other young men, two of whom, William C. C. Murray and John R. Parry, were also from Cincinnati, the other roomihates being William C. Earnest. Murray an<T Parry, as well as other Cincinnatikns here, knew of Murdock’s Cincinnati career, but all of these, thinking that Murdock meant to do better refrained fiom betraying him. Messrs. Bates, Chittenden & Co., however, concluded on Monday of last week to discharge Murdock, giving him s3l or $32, “so as not to turn him adrift into the streets.” The next morning, when the young man’s roommates got up, Murdock was gone and Parry found that his pockets had been rifled of SSO in cash and a certified check for $l9O. Parry and his two friends at once hunted Murdock up, encountering him upon the street. He denied the theft but the three men said he looked guilty. That night Murdock lost money at gambling,and the next day he left the city, presumably to go to Chicago. Before leaving, he got from Mr. Rhodes, of the Colorado Live Stock Insurance Company, a letter to the Chicago agent of that company, but on hearing the young man’s history, Mr. Rhodes promptly sent word to Chicago canceling the recommendation. It. is thought that Murdock’s wife, at Cincinnati. intends to bring suit for a divorce against him, but it is further said—or has been stated by himself—that his mother has agreed to settle the Cincinnati affair. The case is a pitiful one for his wife and his mother, but there is a duty to the public, and insurance companies may as well keep an eye on the young man. Parry, the loser of the money, was prospecting in the mountains during the summer, and had worked hard all winter to save the money, in order to resume work on his mining claim this summer. . ' ■

How Mistakes are Made.

Al the dinner ofthe Chicago Press Club, John Ritchie, the stenographer, made a little speech of which the following is a part: *There are times, however, when even the most expert stenographer wants more time. Not long ago I saw a reporter taking a lecture on the Abencki tribe of Indians, in which occurred the name of the powerful sachem, Choppegogmagcochkamuggin. Just imagine that thing fired oil at an unsuspecting American citizen, and conceive if you can, the mental wreck left behind when that orthographical cyclone rumbled by! The practice of stenography is the sawing “wood of intellect. It is the cultivation of detail, so that exact words are remembered in their consecutive order, but very often at the sacrifice of ability to grasp the the thought contained in those words. There is a dangerous temptation in this direction, because of the difficulty of running simultaneously two trains of thought; and if the stenographer fails to fight down this tendency he loses his individuality as a thinking, reflecting human being, and degenerates into a baldheaded, shorthand factory, ready to step into his intellectual grave. Common sense and general information have about as much to do with accuracy in stenography, as in long hand. In rapid writing, characters representing entirely different words will often look very much alike, and the reporter sometimes fails to detect in his notes little pieces of skullduggery that lead him into frightful mistakes. I have known stenographers binder whose heroic treatment the “ Sermon on the Mount” would read like a chapter from “Rattlesnake Dick, the Ringtailed Screamer of the Rocky Mountains.” I confess that I myself once reported a eulogistic address in which were the Words, “His brow was enwreathed with celestial wisdomand when I came to convert it into long hand.the notes looked up into my face with impudent rectitude,and made the speaker say, “His <

bread was enriched with a stump tai 1 hard pan.” That was simply .a case of similarity of outline.

Apples and Peaches.

Mr. John Piper says the first box o apples of Pacific coast production which reached Ban Francisco came in | the same year from the ranche of . Lewis Allen and Mr. Meade, in the , vicinity of Portland, Oregon, the owners of the same having crossed the Sains in 1846 and having brought nit trees with them. Mr. JPiper purchased the first lot from the agent, Mr. ■ King, for $2 SO per pound and retailed , the same from $1 to $4 and even $5 apiece. The next steamer, the Columbia, brought another box, for which Mr. Piper offered 'the same price, which was declined. He finally secured the lot for $1 12)4 each, and sold them again to two lads named Keating (now In the gunsmith business in Ban Francisco) for|l 37)4 apiece, who in turn peddled them out for $3 to $5 apiece. During the winter of 1853-4 Mr. Piper and Mr. Andrews, who were then engaged in the hardware business on Davis street, ordered four or five thousand pounds of apples shipped from New York city to Ban Francisco, by steamer, paying fifty cents a pounc for freight. The apples were packed in sawdust closed in tin cans. Says our informant*. “The apples when first opened had a delicious flavor, but turned black in half an hour afterward from the effect of the heat during the twenty days’ voyage.” The first lot of peaches which reached San Francisco, 1854, came from Mr. Hill’s ranch, at Napa, and sold as high as $2 50 per dozen, retail. Cherries of Oregon growth were introduced the same {rear. Mr. Piper purchased the first ot for $2 60 per pound. Putting them in a clothesbasket, he retailed them on the street at 25 cents apiece, and afterwards sold them in his store for $5 per pound. Strawberries arrived from Alameda in 1854-5, and cost $4 a pound wholesale, ami heaped up in French soup bowls, holding half a Ku nd each, were retailed at $5 per wl. Pears, which came into the i market about the same time, retailed at a high figure. Mr. Piper remembered getting |ll for a single pear. The first lot of grapes that came from Los Angeles sold at wholesale as high as twenty-five cents per pound, i Oranges, which were first brought by steamer from San Juan, the terminus of the route of the Nicaragua steamers in 1854, brought S9O per thousand ' wholesale. Limes brought from Aca- ! pulco were worth S6O per thousand; ' pineapples, S4O per thousand; bananas, $25 a bunch. Mr. Piper continued in the fruit trade from 1853 to 1858. Among the retail dealers during that period were Marco Medin anc Undertaker Wilson, of this city.—Nevada Enterprise.

The Maine Demon.

The Augusta (Me.) Journal has the following about the wretch who recently shocked the country by chopping his mother in pieces without provocation: . Charles Merrill, the self-confessed murderer, who is now awaiting final sentence in the county jail, is apparently an exampie of total depravity. He seems to be a stranger to remorse, and is insensible to any distinction between right and wrong. Since his incarceration in the jail, evidence is accumulating which goes to show his moral rottenness. On the night of the 17th of June last two large bams, belonging to Oliver Hammon of China, a neighbor of the Merrills, was burned to the ground. Mr. Hammon says that young Merrill has confessed that he was the incendiary. It seems that Mr. Hammon had a flue calf which Charles wished to purchase, but the owner refused to part with the animal, so this young monster took this method to get even, probably hoping that in the confusion ne could steal the calf w ithout being detected. After Charles was turned out of d< ors by his mother in September, he went to live with a relative named Hammer Merrill, to whom he told this story. Mr. Merrill says he did not dare to reveal the secret till Charles was behind the iron bars. Charles also related to his relatives, with considerable gusto, his numberless other misdeeds, and tried to induce Mr. Merrill to become his accomplice in crime. On one occasion he said: “Hammer, Nat Jones has a nice flock of sheep; now if we set his barn afire we can get hold of some of them without getting caught.” These are but a few of the escapades of the young desperado. In this connection, it may be interesting to relate that the hand of the murdered woman, with one or two fingers chopped off, was found in the road between the scene of the tragedy and the village of Wick’s Mills. It was partially covered with snow, and had probably jolted out of the load of potatoes which he was driving to ’market. The unhappy father of the mur. derer, who was in the woods at the time the atrocious act was committed, is nearly insane with grief.

Cheese Made From Potatoes.

A foreign paper says that cheese is made from potatoes in Thuringia and Saxony. After having collected a quantity of potatoes of good quality, giving the preference to a large white kind, they are boiled in a caldron,and after becoming cool, they are reduced to a pulp, either by means of a grater or mortar. To five pounds of this pulp, which ought to be as equal as possible, is added one pound of sour milk and the necessary salt. The whole is kneeded together and the mixture covered up and allowed to lie for three or four days, according to the season. At the end of this time it is kneeded anew, and the cheeses are placed in little baskets, when the superfluous moisture escapes. They are then allowed to dry in the shade, and placed in layers in large vessels, where they must remain for fifteen days. The older these cheeses are the more their quality improves. Three kinds are made. The first and most common is made as detailed above; the second with four parts of potatoes and two parts of curded milk; the third with two parts of potatoes and four parts of cow or ewe milk. These cheeses have this advantage over other kind—they do not engender worms; and they keep fresh for a number of years, provided they are placed in a dry situation and in well closed vessels.

A Model Bear Story From Maine.

J ar K e black bear was killed at Steuben a few days ago. In felling a tree it dropped across a hollow log, out of which dashed this bear to the unbounded astonishment of the woodmen. A few days after a woodman went out alone in the woods with his ax on his shoulder. The bear came Upon him and gave chase. It was a hot race, and ended In the bear getting near enough to clap his forefoot on the man’s snow-shoe. The man tripped and fell, and in falling turned with marvelous dexterity and dealt

the bear a terrible blow between his eyes, sinking the ax into his brain. Another blow finished him, and the man's life was saved. The bear was a rilendid fellow, weighing 400 x>unds. His fur was long and a jet >lack. Two cruel looking gashes on the head testified to the sharpness of the ax which the woodman had so skillfully wielded.— Bangor (Me.) Commercial. Oecnr De Lafayette, a senator of France, and the grandson of General Lafayette, is dead. He was to have represented France at the Yorktown centennial.
