STRUTOR CAfKICKS OF THE FEHAUSMT “NihiIists” is the name of s sew sect iorntad among the women of St, Peters burg. They have made their appearance hi Paris at least so says a correspondent who relates the followiug: “The Tt Deum for the C*ar, snog is the Kosewa church in the Faubourgh du Boule, was attended by the elitt of Russian society, ell in foil drees, and as magnificent ly adorned with jewels os for a representa tion at eourt. The blase of diamonds was something marreUous, and created great curiosity among some of the French spec tators gathered there. Rat in spite of the tremendous quantity of loyalty and dia monds displayed, none of the fair wearers attracted the same attention as that drawn toward two modest looking young women who stood In the penumbra thrown by the projecting angle of the wall beneath the archway »t the entrance of the chapel. “These two fair and beautiful strangers became the cynosure of all eyes, the ‘lion ass’ of the assembly, the ‘distraction’ which caused the wivertersal g*» to wander from the priest to the altar and the wondrous singers of the choir. Their attitude, never theless, was humbled and resented; they seemed to avoid, rather than seek observa tion. Their custom was singular enough, however, to attraot all the scrutiny they met with; foe two fob heads cropped dote, their attires sort of compromise between the coat and trowsers of the male sex, with foe most convenient portions of female costume. A jacket descending low over the hips, and dosed over foe bosom by n row of huge buttons, • short, very Cul* pettioont of foe seme, and beneath, just apparent above foe high hoots of black, aiming leather, foil isexpreMuhias, not < gathered is, hat dotting just above tbs knss, and displaying shout an inch of the snow whits stocking, formed their novel iq| siogtU#? attire. Eaoli fadkl In bar hands low fiat hat, with a large brim, adorned with a cord and tassel, it was soon whispered through foe ebapel that these young ladies were foe first epecimena beheld in Western Europe of foe new sect formed at St. Petersburg among the Women there, and whkdt has increased to •uoh an alarming degree that foe Gover- Jtseet la beginning to take umbrage. The Mies remain umnmarried; they assume the cares and reepooilbffiUM of the m»le sex; work at ail kinds of manual labor; go to the bourse; transact every sort of mercan tile business, according to the state of life la which they have been placed by Provi dence. The new sect is called that of foe ‘Nihiliata.’ * Maximilian.—A correspondent of foe New York Tribune, writing from the City of Mexico, says: “The Emperor, a man tbirty-eewn year* .Old, it one of foe largest men in tho city; tall, straight, and well proportioned, as Expert in all manly exercises especially aa a horseman and swordsman; and possessed jot immense physical strength, which, when he ohoosee to exercise it, has excited foe admiration of his staff and the French Zouave officers, nearly all of whom have hem raised from foe ranks for signal acts of daring, in which bravery and personal .endurance were required. His fsoo is broad, refined in its expression, and beam iog with good humor; and above all, there is a look of genuine benevolence and kindness which seldom fails to win those with .whom he comes in contact. The large blue eyes me full of intelligence, .while the high, expansive forehead indi cate* a great brain and correct judgment. He is seldom mistaken in his estimate of men, whose qbaraeter be generally pen etrates at the .first interview. While Gov ernor of foombardy several yean ago, tnuoh as foe Italians detest foe Austrian rale, their public disturbance oould always he quelled by the presence of Maximillian who was looked upon as an euoeption to foe House of Hapsbuvg. He is foe author of a number of eoientifio works which have been printed in three or four languages, and is regarded as among the mosi aocotnpliahed and enlightened of foe German princes." Hoar to Mama Hoasx Gaow.— That’i a tarnation tall horse,’ said JUid law. ‘Ye* i guess you can’t account for it,’ mpliad Jonathan. ‘No, how,’ said Laid kw. ‘He belongs to Huumins, foe livery man.* replied Jonathan, ‘and his tallness .comm through his having beau regularly higker'd (hired) evorv day for,the lsstsevea yearn.’ What is mere sole-harrowing than pegs wee's heels? A MONBTBB XsTK*?mi*A Away up in foe Sierra Nevada Moun tains, to high in sir that water and sir lose their respective gravity, end sticks of wood refuse to float on its surface, it a beautiful sheet of water, called Lake Ta hoe, by 1,600 feet foe highest body of water on earth, ever navigated by a steam boat. Surrounded by mighty peaks, whose summits are clothed in mantles of eternal snow, while they look down on valleys where eternal summer reigns, this lovely lake teems beyond the reach of civilisa tion, and consecrated to solitude forever. But science has already seised upon it as a fit subject for another tt her triumphs, and a daring engineer, CoL A. H. Voo Schmidt, of this city, has determined to turn its vast volume of water to a practi cal use. He has ineorporatsd a company with a vast capital, and will actually com* mence the work next month of tunneling the mountains to draw its pure, waters to foe California side. The waters are to be turned into foe channel of a stream and carried over foe hills which skirt the val ley of the Sacramento, thence through canals among foe Placer mines, down to the level of foe capital city; thence across foe valley towarde Coast Range, and ulti mately to San Francisco. This enterprise would, if carried out, supply • dozen interior towns with deli cious water, of a purity unknown else where. provide foe miners with water to cany on their work during dry seasons, irrigate thousands of acres of now unpro ductive land, making U to blossom as foe rose, and lastly, supply, for all time to come, the teeming millions who will in habit San Francisco. It will take a life-time to carry out the plan in alt it* details, hut Yon Schmidt, who engineered to completion the Spring Valley Water Works, by which San Frhn cisco is supplied with wa'er from a dis tance of forty miles, is confident of its fea sibility. The route by which foe water would ieach Sen Francisco is nearly 200 mile* long; but nevertheless Von Schmidt it thoroughly in earnest, and as I said, pro poses to commence work next month. To any man who has sealed the dixxy heights of the Sierra, and seen foe tremendous obstacles to be overcome, looks like foe fresh of ff dkgfdered imagination, but fits cfclfe may be atrtmay. torn who will live to see it e' fact acpqmpKshed.— Quia » Sabt ?~~ ISatf JPraticts Cor.
