A RUSSIAN STORY.
I lively Picture of Society in the
lteiffit of Catherine II.
The folio wing anecdote, taken from
fife Historical Memoirs of Segur, gives a
" Jirely picture of the'Spirit which reigned
’ iifthe Russian Court undey the sway of
the celebrated Catherine II:
A. nth banker, named’ Saderland, en
joyed for a long time tfie favor of the
Empress, bnt one day ie suddenly saw
Lis house surrounded by an armed force,
led by a-commissary of " the police, who
demanded to speak with hym.
“ My dear sir,” said he to the fright
ened banker, “ it grieves me deeply to
have received orders from oUr gracious
torereign to execute towards you a sever
ity beyond anything I have ever yet seen.
I know not what extraordinary offence
you have committed to excite such ex
tremity of anger in her Majesty as to in
duce her to command a punishment so
horriM- and unprecedented.”
" I do not understand a word of what
you are saying,” answered the astonished
banker. “I am as much amazed as if
yon had fallen from the clouds. What
are the orders you have received ?’V
“I h ive not courage to tell you. And
yet I shall l>e compelled to execute them.”
“ Am I, indeed, so unfortunate as to
have lost 1 e. - Majesty’s confidence ? ”
" Ah! If that were all, sir, yon would
not see me so disconsolate. You might
regain her confidence and even her favor
—but—”
"But am I then banished from Rus-
“ That would, indeed, be a sad misfor
tune ; yet with your riches you could find
a hospital)* reception in any other coun
try. But—”
“ Oh heavens! is it possible that I am
to be exhiled to Siberia ?”
’’ Even from there yon might, sooner or
Lifer, be recalled to Russia.”
“ Perhaps, then, yon are going to put
me in prison?”
"I wish it were so, for then you might
be liberated/
"Am I then condemned to undergo the
knoutV
"The knout is a dreadful punishment,
to b» sure, but it is not always fatal."
“Then, oh ! then, you lead me to death!
Tel 1 me p'ainl.v; this suspense is worse
than dentil itself.”
"Know, then, that your most gracious
Em r ‘ss lias given absolute orders to
tak > off your entire skin."
“T.» take off my skin!” exellimed Sa-
der.and, seized with horror—"to flay me
alive!” But, regaining his self-posses
sion, he added, "Vo, no—it cannot be;
either you have lost your senses, Mr.
Com li-uory. or your most benign mis
tress ha: lost hers. Is it possible you
who has seen it will bfear witness to the
soberness of our language. This bed-
quilt is not intended to be useful, but
ornamental, mrral and instructive. The
scope of the subject token for illustra
tion is
SOMEWHAT AMBITIOUS,
as it covers the history of the creation of
man, the temptation and fall of Adam,
the story of Cain and Abel, and even
takes in the finding of Moses in the bul
rushes. The fine moral tone of. the treat
ment given thi3 work by the artist is seen
most strikingly, perhaps, in the improved
appearance of Adam and Eve in compari
son with their usnal simple outfit. Eve
has a beautiful red dress with crinoline,
a tidy apron and a handsome switch of
solid hair Adam looks
BATUEB RAKISH
in green trowsers, an orange coat, and a
wide-awake hat. He has n- knowing look,
too, as if he were telling Eve that she
couldn’t make him believe that that yel
low cabbage she was offering him wa3 an
apple—not any. ..
THE GREEN ANGLE WORM
hanging over the limb of a tree is the
original snake mentioned in the Scrip
ture. The apples on the tree are a very
rare species, not grown nowadays. In
the right corner of the quilt the lion and
the lamb are about to lie down with each
other in perfect amity. The lion in a
scarlet tail, and the striped appearance
of the sheep, are greatly admired by the
editor of the Buffalo Live-Stock Journal,
who says he never saw anything like
them before. The horse is also repre
sented, but he
LOOKS BILIOUS.
This may he owing to the green and
yellow spots of which he is composed;
but we don’t pretend to criticise. The
most spirited scene on the spread is in
the left hand corner, where Cain has
just settled his brother’s business for
him with a club. The club is beautiful.
CORONER VAUGHAN SAYS
that Abel looks deader than any corpse he
ever sat on, and* yet Cain seems to he ex
pecting to see jiim get up again, for he
is just ready to 3fetch him another blow.
Both the young men look real spruce in
their yellow coats and green trnsvsers—
really genteel and one-priced as it were.
In another part of the quilt is to be seen
a game chicken roosting with confidence
on a gentleman’s fist. A sewing machine
man says this is the dove of peace, but
we don’t know what he means.
MOSES IN THE BULRUSHES
is, in many respects, the strongest feature
of this grand historical qnilt. The river
is faithfully represented by yellow, green
and red stripes of cloth, which gain a re
markably realistic effect ly the introduc
tion of two red codfish. Moses is seen
ensconced in a cradle which is rocking
between five bulrushes. Pharaoh’s daugh
ter, with parasol and red dress, stands on
one side of t.he stream, while a hand
maiden in green gingham stands on the
other side,
HOLDING HEB STOMACH.
She is either laughing violently, or else
has a bad case of colic—it is not perfectly
clear which. Up above all these instruct
ive scenes float roosters and pigeons, and,
singular to relate, the American eagle.
This seems a gross anachronism—putting
our bird of freedom, clad in the national
coat of arms, in the Garden of Eden;
but it is justified, perhaps, by the poetic
license which pervades the entire quilt.
Our readers will excuse our dwelling
on this thing of beauty at such length,
those who have seen it will bear with us,
at any rate. It is a masterpiece which
holds ollour finer sensibilities spell bound.
Strong men stood before it and
WEPT BITTERLY,
while little children cried when they
caught a glimpse of it, and wanted to be
taken home. The only unappreciative
visitor was a lady who declared with some
heat that she thought it showed very had
taste in colors, and that it was a sheer
waste of time to make “such stuff.” Some
people are born entirely devoid of the
cesthetic element. "We say,
SEE THAT QUILT,
and—die.

Later of tbe Lonoke Tragedy—The
Assassins Still at Large.
Little Rock, November 7.—The trag
edy reported in Lonoke county last night
has created intense excitement. It ap
pears one of the Eigles was acting in the
capacity of constable and had a warrant
for the arrest of two negro hog thieves.
On coming up with them they refused to
surrender, and as the constable’s posse
dismounted they were fired upon by the
band of negroes in' ambush, killing all
three of the Eagles and severely wound
ing Sullivan. Dr. Gray was the only one
of tbe posse unhurt. On his escape, he
returned to Lonoke and reported the af
fair, when the sheriff of Lonoke county
summoned a posse of fifty men and went
to the place of the deed. He arrived
there at 11 o’clock last night and found
the bodies with no one near. They had
been relieved of guns and horse-*. The
bodies were removed to Lonoke to-day,
where an inquest is being held,
i The sheriff of Lonoke, accompanied by
Hon. J. P. Eagle, a representative, whose
kinsmen were killed, arrived in the city
this evening, and laid all the facts before
the Governor. The. sheriff of Pulaski
sent out a posse of ten men to-day, to ef
fect the arrest of the murderers, but
nothing has been heard from them..

were as follows: On the 12th of Septem
ber, 1868, a farmer’s boy discovered on
the bonks of White river, about three
miles north of the city of Indianapolis,
the dead bodies of ’ Jacob Young and
Nancy Young, his wife, two reputable
citizens of that place. The post mortem
examination disclosed the fact that Mrs.
Young had been killed by a pistol shot,
the ball entering the back part of the
head and > coursing upward through the
brain until it lodged upon the inner sur
face of the.frontal bone. The hall proved
to be a cartridge pistol balL j Mr. Young
had been killed by a discharge from a
double-barrelled shot-gun, which was
found by his side, with one barrel explo
ded, the -other barrel heavily charged
with ten. buckshot, and standing cocked.
Tho position and course of the wound
upon Young and his wife proved conclu
sively that they had been murdered. No
pistol war discovered. The day after*the
discovery of the murder it was ascer
tained that -the shot-gun found by the
dead bodies had been purchased from a
pawnbroker in Indianapolis, on the day
of the murder.
the gun was identified
by means of a broken thimble and a pe
culiarity about the locks, and the man
who had purchased it was accurately de
scribed by the pawn-broker and a negro
servant who-was'present when the pur
chase was -made. At the time of the
murder a gentleman and his two children,
who were fishing some distance below
the scene of the murder, heard the re
ports of fire-arms in the direction of the
place where the bodies were found. Five
minutes before the report was heard, the
children saw the deceased and another

board. He plunged in and rescued her,
and she thanked him, asked his name,
climbed upon the deck of her vessel and
sailed away. Last week the youta was
surprised by a visit from the maiden and

seized his hand and said: * You saved
the girl, and she’s yourn. Take her, my

moved forward as if to seek an embrace,

the window and fled, pursued by the

anvils to hei neck to hold her down.

How Nice it is To Be a Horse and Go
to California.
Baltimore Sun, October 28.
True Blue, the winner of the f onr-mile
heat race Saturday, left Baltimore for
San Francisco last night in a special
stock palace car by the Northern Central
Railroad. True Blue’s rider, Barbee,
with Chamberlin’s agent and his colored
man Jim, accompanied the horse in his
sumptuous car. The outside of the car
was painted a bright red. Upon either
side a brilliantly displayed placard was
posted, reading as follows: “ Please do
not detain me.—Business of importance
with my friends, Thad. Stephens and
Joe Daniels, requires me. Yours, truly,
True Blue.” Upon expressing a desire
to inspect the interior of the car and to
interview the champion, permission
was cheerfully accorded by Mr.
Chamberlin. The rear end of the
car, which had been set apart
for the valuable steed, was filled all
around with thick mattresses, as was
also the roof. Glass windows were placed
in the side to secure proper ventilation.
The fore part of the car was divided into
five separate .compartments for two. of
True Blue’s stable companions who were
to accompany him. The middle of the
ear was arranged for the accommodation,
of attendants and for the storage of tem
porary supplies of provender. It is ex
pected that the horse will reach San
Francisco in aboift eight days. This will
allow True Blue only about a week in
which to recover from the effects of his
long trip by rail before contending
against Thad. Stephens and Joe Daniels
in the $20,000 race which will taka place
November 15, The result of. this enter
prise is watched with considerable inter
est by turfmen in all parts, of the coun
try. Should True Blue win the race, he
will undoubtedly never start again.

Then the maiden came to the rescue, and

In. the curious breach of promise suit
brought by Mra. Wade, of Brooklyn, N.
Y., against Mr. Kalbfleisch’s estate, it
has been decided that tho death of the
latter concluded the proceedings. The
point of the decision is that a promise of
marriage is a civil contract, and a repudi
ation of that promise is therefore a breach
of contract. Being personally liable and
no-more, the individual breaking the con
tract can be mulcted in damages. But
there heing no actual injury of person on
the part of the plaintiff, her suit cannot
follow the survival, by his estate, of the
deceased defendant.

Amos and Mahala Gregory, Colored,
Whip a Colored Child to Death.
Wilmington (N. C.) Star, November 4.]
From the evidence elicited during the
examination it appears that the boy. who
is about nine years old, and who was
hound to the parties accused, was seized
by Mahala Gregory and tied to a tree,
with his hands extending above his head,
the alleged offence being that of playing
with other boys after being cautioned
not to do so. She then took a swith, the
boy laving been previously stripped, and
whipped him .vith it as long as she was
able to do so, finally relinquishing the
task to her husband. He procured other
switches, and the brutal chastisement was
continued, amid the mo;tpiteou3 appeals
for mercy from the suffering child, until
it was apparently lifeless. One of the
witnesses testified that Amos Gregory
said he would whip the boy until he
obeyed him if he died in five minutes af
terward. This witness also stated that
she left while the whipping was going on,
but returned between 6 and 7 o'clock in
the evening and found the ohild dead on
the floor. She proposed to strip it, but
this was objected to by Mahala Gregory,
who wanted the child shrouded with its
clothes on, douhtlej? with the desire to
conceal the horrid evidences of brutality
which marked it3 body.

the place where they were murdered, with
a lady sitting in the same seat with Mrs.
Young. A few rods behind the carriage,
Silas Hartman, driving the livery-stable
mare, was seen by the same parties. He
was recognized, but when they attempted
to speak to him he turned his head and
drove by them without returning their
salutation. Several of these witnesses
testified that Nancy E. Clem, the wife- of
a leading grocer in Indianapolis, was the
lady who occupied the seat with Mr.
Young’s wife in his carriage. Silas Hart
man, who followed in the buggy, was her
brother. A close watch was placed upon
Mrs. Clem’s movements, but her arrest
was delayed for three weeks. This delay
in her arrestinsured her conviction. The
confederate, Abrams, was in jail, and had
difficulty in raising money to pay attor
ney fees. He sent for his brother, and
directed him to go secretly to Mrs. Clem’s
house and get several thousand dollars,
and to “tell her that the money must
come.” The brother obeyed these direc
tions, and Mrs. Clem, yielding to the de
mand, went into a cellar where she had a
package of bills concealed in a stovepipe
hole in a chimney, and gave Abram’s

him to tell his brother in jail not to send
