Endorsed by Govnrnor* of IOWA, ARKANSAS & DAKOTA CgthgteftM. P.9I1IB, St, Lssii, Ko,J> The Insurgent. Reflecting on the.subject of liber ty, my mind frequently recurs to the • . . ^ time when I became a temporary res ident of St Petersburgli, when the death of the Emperor Alaxander was followed by the accession of Nicho las to the throne. I still fancy my self standing before the barred gates of the city, waiting the long examina tion which must be undergone before a stranger could be permitted to en ter. I stiU hear the repeated watch word of the solitary gard, which con tinually patrolled the streets after dark. I imagine myself receiving my letters, the seals violated from being opened at the post-office, a precau tion seldom omitted even in the case of the most obscure individual. It was well known immediately af- te r the demise of Alexander, that two regiments bad revolted in favor of Constantine, and that many of the populace hnd joined them. It was a day of great import in the Russian capital, and of great private interest to the family with whom I resided (that of an English merchant) whose daughter was that day to become the bride of a faithful ani long attached lover, a young Russian officer of great promise. Everything had been ar ranged on the proceeding evening, when the intelligence of the morning threw an undeflued apprehension of evil over'our hopes, and when on the bridal party assembling, the bride groom was missing, and our worse fears were confirmed. Many hours passed in fearful sus pense; sometimes we listened to the heavy fire of the distant artillery; sometimes gathered anxiously round some informant who had lately re turned.from the vicinity of the scene of tumult, hoping, inquiring, conjec turing and fearing, till the cheek of the intended bride grew pale, the lus ter of her eyes faded, her jewels were thrown off, then resumed, her bridal vail discarded, then taken up again only to be drenched with tears of the most bitter regret. It became too certain from all the information we could gather that the the regiment of our young friend was engaged in the revolt, and as we heard the new emperor’s guards were everywhere bearing down the insur gents we had little hope of his safety. From hour to hour these apprehen sions increased; every moment the most exaggerated reports reached our enr.i, till at length suspense became agony, and doubt distraction. No sooner did darkness fall, and the suc cessless struggle had ended, than the young bride entreated her brother and myself to accompany her to his lodgings and endeavor to learn the fate of her lover. It was in vain we represented the probable hazard of such an attempt, as we must- pass through that part of the town which had been the scene of the contest; she was careless of life, and only wished to end her present uncertainty. Gui ded by the clear moonlight of a north ern atmosphere, we left her father’s house and proceeded through the now deserted streets and public walks, only meeting here and there parties of the inhabitants conversing gloomily on the events of the day, frequently interrupted and dispersed by the mil itary, who in detached bodies paraded the streets during the night. Often those who had escaped from the field, and were fearful of arrest, harried singly across unfrequented lanes, care fully avoiding even the hovels w hich are constructed for the accommoda tion of the night watch, containing ovens, which, continually heated se cures them from the. inclemency of the weather.. Arrived at the great square, which had been the scene of contest, we found all tbe entrances blocked up by the guards, seme of whom were con veying on sledges heaps of the slain (and as their groans too well informed us, of the dying), to be committed to their last repose in the cold waters of the Neva. Painfully alive to every impression of horror, we almost fan cied we heard amid the stillness «f the hour, the sullen plunge and heavy dash of the waters over the deadly freight consigned to tueir bosom on that eventful night. We stood some many honors gained in the service of his conhtiy were appended to his breast;, his face Was concealed, yet the eyes of Matilda soon recognized him who at that moment alone possessed her thoughts, and wildly and ardent ly she tried to assist his companion in his painful task. Her lover started at her voiee; he gazed upon her pallid smile, bnt the agitation of this un looked-for meeting, added to the loss of blood from his unstaunched wounds, soon wasted bis remaining strength, and we were compelled to support him, fprit was impossible to proceed further. Matilda flung herself beside bim, gazed upon his countenance in tear less agony, and besought us with piercing supplications, to save Iris life. “It is too late,” said he, with a startling calmness; “I could have wished to have spared yon this scene; give me your hand my last moments are approaching.” She gave it him all glittering with jewels, the intended ornaments of a happier hour, and as he pressed it to r his pale, cold lips, feeling and life'seemed at once to de part from him; he sunk lifeless in the embrace of his bride. She remained for a few moments in that Cold trance, then starting up, cast her furred clonk from her, and pointing to her white robe stained with the blood of her lover, asked in distraction, “if this oere not a merry brical?” We endeavor to calm her, that we might convey the remains of tbe young soldier from this dreadful spot, but it was impossible. She al ternately laughed and wept, increas ing the fearful interest of the scene by her frantic mirth. This was one of the many strikin examples which they who mix with the world must witness, and would do well to lay to heart; of human happi ness and the hi; h st hopes wrecked at their very entrance into port; and it will be long before memory will c< ase to recall that fearful nigbt, of the horrors of which I was destined to be a witness in t he city of St. Peters burg.—Selecle I. graceful, and the glittering insignia of J The Rellstnus War In Germany. the saw, the plow-handles, the axe; minutes in shuddering, and chill sus- pi c k-axe, the spade—anything pense, scarcely able to support Matil da, now almost overcome by the ac cumulation of anticipated terrors.— We wonld have returned, but she was desperate in her intention. “Per haps,” she said, “we may yet -find bim; perhaps he even now lies fester ing from his wounds, and our assis tance' may not be too late; I fear not any danger, he would have dared as much forme.” We pressed onward and passed un noticed amid the confusion. Matilda gazed eagerly round, and distinguish.- ed even in that imperfect light a - spot where the prostrate slain and some few survivors wore the well-known uniform of her lover, rushed towardit without speaking; we hastily followed, scarcely noticing the many heart rending scenes which were passing nronnd us. The Mound-Building Megapode. Of all bird dwellings the most sin- ulnr I ever saw is that of the mega- podius of New Guinea and the sur rounding archipelago. This bird is a member of a small but deeply inter esting gallinaceous family known as Megapodinse, which have this pecu liarity, that they never sit their eggs. They bury them in immense tumuli that excite the astonishment of stran gers, leaving them to be hatched by the heat of tbe sun or by fermenta tion. This family of birds is found in all the islands, between Australia and the Philippines in tne one direc tion, and from Borneo to New Britain in the other. My first .acquaintance with the nest of this remarkable bird was made in New Guinea, when ex ploring in Manumann Kiver in Nov ember, 1872. While breakfast was preparing I strolled into the bush to collect ferns. Close to tbe river inside a dense growth of timber, was a great mound with a depression at the top. It was a perfect circle, and it was evidently artificinl, great quantities of* leaves being mixed with loose earth. It could have not been built by human hands, as there was no trace whatever of cultivation in the neighborhood. The mound was carefully measured, and proved to be ten feet high and sixty feet in circumference at the base. Onr old native guide persisted in saying that it was built by birds. H it I remained incredulous until we fell iD with several mounds on Bamp- ton Island, near the entrance of the Fly River. These were exactly the size of that just described. The na tives utilized;them with bananas and other trees and shrubs,—Lev. D Wyot Gill. ■ To Young Men. Some old genius gives tbe following excellent advice to young men Who “depend on father” for their support and take ho interest in business, but are regular drones in the hive, subsist ing on that which is earned by oth ers: “Come off with your coat, clinch Among these was an old soldier en- j - deavoring to convey, by stealth, his j wounded officer from the field; he was j that will enable you to stir your blood!

Get up in the morning—turn luuud at least twice before breakfast—help the old gentle- man—give him a lift in bueiness, learn how to : take the lead,.and not depend forever onbeingled; you have no idea how the discipline will bene fit you, Do this and our word for it, you will soon breathe a new atmos phere,-possess a new frames tread a new earth, wake to destiny—-and you may begin to aspire tp man 's hood.” - •' ’ Com t Gossip, The wedding of Miss Nellie Grant leaning^n^his ^ e™,"who' haA j» feed for Mist instant, when the carefully enwrapped him in the folds • bridal party will sail for England, of his military cloak; yet he proceeded | It is supposed she marries for pure only by slow and tottering steps. His j love, as the income of her affianced is figure was tall and appeared, to have only §60.000 g years- The Prussian correspondent of the London Times writes under date of Berlin, April 4th; In consequence of the attest of two more German Bish ops one-third of the whole number are disposed of. Of the remaining eight two are likely to follow suit: be fore long, when half the number will have been practically removed from office. All of them being sent to pris on for the considerable fines they re fused to pay, it is probable that the new ecclesiastical court will have time to declare their sees forfeitedloDg be fore they can hope to regain liberty. As soon as Parliament has passed the new bill enabling the government to intern or expel priests who have in curred penalties under the new ec clesiastical laws, the imprisoned mon- signeurs must expect to be sent across thef.ojtier. Beyond a slight stir in the streets tbe arrest of the Bishops , of Cologne and Troves has produced no visible effect upon the inhabitants of their diocesan towns. It was somewhat- different. On the 31st of March, at 6:30 p. 3i., Herr Deven i, the chief of Cologne police, attended by two sub ordinates, made liis appearance in the Episcopal palace. The Archbishop immediately got up, and when in formed of the officer’s errand begged to be allowed twenty-four hours to ar range his affairs. The officers regret ted not being able to comply with this request, but gave him two hours to prepare. They then left the palace and returned to the at eight o’clock. By that time the house was full of priests, the street being occupied by a large crowd.— When the officers entered the room in which the Archbishop was they found him taking leave of the princi pal ecclesiastics of the diocese. The ceremony taking so long that he was at last reminded that they had better go. To this the Archbishop replied that he did not intend to quit his honse of his own free will at all. He wonld only yield to force. Hearing this the principal officer quickly an swered that the Archbishop’s having uttered his determination to yield to force only, this might be regarded as tantamount to bis really bavin: made resistance. He would therefore be obliged by the Archbishop follow ing him without any more ado. *No, sir,’ said the Archbishop, ‘you will have to take me bodily out of the room if you wish me to go with you.’ Upon this, at a sign from the princi pal officer, one of the two subordinate officers took hold of the Archbishop's arms, and leading him to tbe door re quested bim to proceed alone. But tie Archbishop again protested that he would not leave the house unless they forced him out of it, so that the police was obliged once more to touch his arm and lead bim out. On the stairs the like scene was again gone through, the police being evidently reluctant to face the crowd outside with an official grip fastened upon the Archbishop.- When they appeared at the door, which was guarded by six policemen, the crowd vented their feelings in angry exclamations. The prisoner and his three custodians then entered the private carriage of Herr Devens, and amid the cries of the populace, who, however, made no at tempt to hinder their progress, drove to the prison. There the Archbishop had assigned to him two newly pa pered and furnished rooms. He is allowed to provide his own viands, and may receive visitors in the pres ence of aL officer.” Look-Bi-furc you Leap. Bottlebnry of Camden, will never dive into the creek to save another Woman from drowning. -He. saw a red-haired girl named Sparks, tumble in the other day off a boat, and he in stantly plunged in after her caught her by her dress, and swam to shore with her. As soon as they were on dry land. Miss Sparks gave a hysteri cal scream, flung her arms about Bot- tleimry’s \ neck, and fainted. • Just then the father came up with the rest of the family, and perceiving the sit uation, he dashed up to Bottlebnry, grasped bis hand; and said: “Take her, my boy; take her! It is hard to give her up; it wrenches her old fath er’s heart; but she is yours. " Bless you, my children—bless you!” Then Mrs. Sparks cried, and said she hop ed Harriet wonld be happy, The lit. tie Sparkses manifested their emotion by elimbing up Bittlebnry’s legs' and pulling his coat tails. Then Harriet came to, and laying her head On his shoulder, whispered, “Kiss me dar ling;” > Bottlebnry, amazed and in dignant, tore himself away and fled. He was arrested that afternoon on eharge of breach of promise, and on the trial the jury gave the broken hearted Miss Sparks two hundred dollars damages. Bottlebnry has in timated to his. confidential friends that if any other warm-haired woman in tends to fall over board near: him she wid find it- to her advantage to learft to swim. The Lonisrille Lattefy. The Louisville Lottery has just closed under disgraceful circumstan ces and surroundings. The end can not justify the means. The State of Kentucky, in a moment of weakness, authorized certain persons, acting as Trustees for the Public Library of Louisville, to draw five lotteries — four of these have beeli spawned, and now the fifth and last of the ries is advertised. The last one pro poses to sell 100,000 tickets at §50 ticket, or in the aggregate $5,000,000, and to distribute onfr.htfff that stun os prizes. The best commentary on this lot tery business, or the one that will most forcibly strike a large body of the public, is, that the net profits of the first three of the series did not exceed §20,000 to §30,000, and this was the resnlt of gambling with three or four millions of- dollars of other people’s money. What the result of the Fourth has been has not yet been made public. Forty-five thousand tickets were sold at $50 each or for §2,225,000. That was the sum paid by the credulous fools who invested their money ia the short cut to wealth. It was attempted to sell three million dollars worth of tickets, but the attempt failed . The prizes tvere proportionately scaled dawn, §1,112,500 set apart for distribution. In other words, the Trustees of the Public Library at Louisville bor rowed $2,250,000 and paid the loan at 50 cei.ts on the dollar. To the ordi nary reader, the presumption is that the other fifty cents on the dollar is heir as an endowment of the Public Library. But not so! Judging by the results of the the three previous lotteries, it will be a good thing if the Library nets §75,000 from the last sknffle. The “expenses” of such things are enormous. Gambling houses always pay liberal wages—five times the amount paid for equal ser vice in any other business. Then the selling of tickets is illegalin near ly every State of the country, and high commissions have to be paid to the wholesale and retail- dealers; the risk of prosecution and the wear and tear of character in the illegal trade, have td be paid for at extravagant rates. The confidence operator who shoves a bogus check on a greenhorn is willing to leave an immense mar gin for the comparatively small amoun t of gold money he gets from his victim. We suppose that, from first to last, the commissions for peddling the tick ets reach 25 per ceut. of the sales.— Then there is a bill for advertising. The lottery depends for success upon having its alluring schemes kept con stantly before the public, and in every possible locality. Printing and adver tising probably consume 10 per ednt. more of the receipts. Then there are the salaries and allowances and expen ses of the high functionaries of every degree who are connected, with it; and these, with countless items of de tail expenditures, so draw upon the profits after paying the prizes that the unfortunate Library in whose rame the whole scheme was perpetra ted gets only the fragment that is left. Putting thj profits of this last %ttery §100,000, the Library will get less than 5 per cent, of the money drawn in its name from the 45,000 people who bought tickets. Of each §50 paid for a ticket, less than §3 will pass to the Library. The whole thing is a fraud. The real endowment is that of the college of managers, direc tors, agents, and ticket-sellers, who divide the proceeds among themselves ns salaries, commissions and expen ses. It-is time tbat-public opinion should be exercised to arrest the further progress of this monstrous -fraud.— There is hardly a village in the West where one or more of these tickets have not been sold. There is not a work-shop, nor a mine, nor any col lection of workingmen where there have not been tickets seld, each man -clubbing in his §5 to §10, to be sent to Louisville. Iff hundreds of cases, boys, and girls, and widows have been coaxed to send their scanty savings to invest in this heartless scheme.-— C.dcago Tribune. , Raining Gaasshoppers.

The Swedish summer is very short and the year has hardly my spring or autumn. But the summer days are very long, and the sun, after setting, rinks only a few degrees below the horizoD, filling the whole space during the flight with a mystical luminous- ness which mzkes even the pig-sty ro mantic. At midnight you can walk in the garden and read a letter from your mother. And how singular the letter is! Every word in it has a new meaning, and so has every object around yon. The street, the houses, the old church, the river, tbe hills all look so strange, and yet they all look as if yon had never before seen their trne shape and never before under stood their trne meaning, and so has every object around yon. The houses do not press the ground with their weight; they float in the air like pic tures. The river does not pnsb its waves forth through a melancholy fall from one pebble to another; it only turns its bands, rapidly bat gently, -to catch the images of the stars. The trees do not suck and heave and foil for a bit of existence; no, they breathe, they live, they whisper about Para dise. Swedenborg’s idea of spiritual bod ies was by no means a grotesque no tion. It was one of the most natu ral and most beantiful allusions the human imagination ever gave birth to. It was a genuine child of the Swedish summer night. The clatter ing and the hammering and all the noises of the town are asleep. The splash of the waters falling down the cataract in the birch wood is trans ferred into'a sweet melody, whose sub dued notes swing in the air, now sounding near to your ear, now echo ing far off. But this, as all individ ual sounds, the chirping of tbe in sects in the trees, tbe clap of your steps on tbe rocky path, the crackling of the paper in your hand, are soon hushed by the deep stillness from which the terrace with the lonely lake and the sombre pine forest draws near and nearer until it covers all the world with silence. Only one individual sound can be distinguished, one single drip of water fulling into a silver lake, one single note strnck on the deepest string of an instrument. It is the echo of the first cataract, a hundred miles distant, far off among the moun tains. Distance seems here merged into infinity, and time into eternity. Lire L*ke Boyers. Married people should trust each other like lovers all their lives-—then they would be happy. Bickering and and: quarrelling would soon break ofi love affairs, consequently lovers in dulge in Ruck only to a very limited extent But some. people—men and women. both—when they have once got foamed, tbink they can do~ just as they please, and it will make no dif ference. They make a great mistake. It will make all the difference in the world. Women should grow more devoted and men more fond after mar riage, if they have the slightest idea of being happy as wives and hns- bands. It is losing, sight of this fun damental-truth that leads to hundreds of divorces Yet many a man will scold his wife, who wonld never think of breathing a narsli word to his sweetheart; and many a -rife will be gram and morose on her husband’s return, who had only smiles and words of cheer for him when he was her suitor. How can such people ex pect to be happy. • Ocean Disasters. Starring Negroes. The Memphis Avalanche says a merchant of that city, who has been down tbe river three hundred miles, returned yesterday and states that the condition of the people in the over flowed sections is ten folds worse than generally believed. The whole coast country is under water, and the in habitants have been compelled to leave their homes and flee for safety to the higher lands. The negroes have left the plantations along the nver bottoms and congregated in great numbers aronnd tbe towns and country stores. These people kave ro money,.and not only are in rags but almost on the eve of starvation. In the early pnrt of the year the mer chants and storekeepers advanced supplies and provisions to the negroes who would give them a mortgage or lien on the incoming crop. At some places the merchants and citizens are issuing them four ponnds of meat and a peck of meal per capnt a week to those unfortunate persons, allowing nothing for children. The The gentleman informs ns that many places are densely packed with refngee negroes, that tbe citizens are in great danger of having their bouses invad ed and their property destroyed by these half-famished creatures. All who have enough money to pay their fare lose no time iu boarding.steamers in order to lea ve the stricken country. Stock of aU kind has been drowned in the bottoms, and, shotdd famine be averted for the present, the great loss in the future will be unprecedented from such a source. The above state of affairs exists from here'to the gulf, and no one can comtemplate the hardships and mise ries of the people along the river with out feeling a desire to do something for their alleviation. Bad on Thieves. It is stated that the Patrons of Hus bandry in Iowa have perfected an or ganization for tbe captnre of horse thieves. Each grange is to kaYe “five riders,” who ate on a robbeiy of stock being reported, to mount and follow the culprits. To this end the grange is to furhish them with funds not less in amount than. tweniy-five dollars,; and on giving the hailing sign of the patrons all other grangers will enter tain them free of cost, • turn out to them or lend them fresh horses. Sim ilar organizations in other States wonld render stealing horses a very unprofitable business. Odds and Ends. ‘Going through the Rye’ issngges ed as an appropriate song for the temperance crusaders. Any candidate for office in Omaha who wears a shirt collar is considered a bloated aristocrat.

There are some good suggestions ns to the management of frightened hor ses, in the following, especially about curing them by degrees of all fear of any object, and being calm and qniet yonrself; but we should question the policy of giving loose rein when they shy at objects: Almost invariably the damage done by frightened horses is directly traceable to injnrion.s man agement. In tbe first place, the idea o* lorcing a horse to “get used” to something he is frightened at, is very wrong. If a horse is afraid of the cars or any other object, tbe only way to enre him of it is by degrees. Drive or hitch him a safe distance from them, and then pay as little attention to him as possible. Do not make anything of the matter yonrself, and he will gain confidence rapidly. When your horse is frightened, never display any fear op nervousness yonrself, and make the matter appear as light as possible. If yon make agreit demonstration about holding him, it is certain to magnify the cause in the mind of the horse. Never let your horse see that you are afraid of him, nor try to cure his fear by force or rough treatment, for either course will be certain to increase his fear. Be firm, calm and kind, and you will be astonished at your o wn success. Many horses are disagreeable drivers from the habit of shying at objects on the roadside or in passing another ve hicle; this is in most cas»s a mere hab it and can be qnickly cured, simply by making the horse ashamed of bis own fear. When a horse shies, if the circumstances will possibly admit of it, do not pay tbe least attention to it, do not pull him severely on the rein, -and never hit with the whip when past the object, bnt let the lines re main loose and let him shy as for as he pleases without any apparent at tention. No other course than that we have tried will so quickly and ef fectually cure a horse of- this disa greeable and sometimes dangerous habit-. In the case of a runaway, dan gerous results can often averted by quiet calmness, and seeking to restore your control by degrees, instead of by some sudden exertion. Never hal loo, or by any. means let th^ horse know you are afraid, although there may be ample cause for it Th* horse deserves credit for more know ledge, affection and memory than is generally given him;'- :•>'■ ~vV.'jsi-'i STONEWALL MILLS.
