from DISTANT RUSSIA. SOMETHING ABOUT LIFE IN A • FAMILY OF NIHILISTS. Student Svetloff Discusses the Russian Political Situation in Words Interest ing to Americans— What a Tourist Saw and Hoard in Kieff. A letter from JvieiT to the Chicago .Veres lavs: Kieff is a city of about 150,000 in habitants in Southern Russia. Its name is seldom mentioned in America, and if men tioned it is always in connection with a dis aster of some kind, an uprising of the pop ulace against the Jews, or a nihilist plot. How came I, a Chicagoan, to be in Kieff; That is a question that needs an explanation. An American tourist in Europe hastens to the gay shores of the Seine, the majestic pa laces and villas of the Tiber, or the lofty mountains of Switzerland. He takes a ride on the Rhine, stops at Berlin, Vienna, Cologne and Munich, sees a few other places, then his conscience is satisfied—he thinks he has done his duty. He forgets entirely the great empire of the Slavs; the magnificent cities, churches, domes and monuments that adorn the way through which his ancestors centuries ago caino marching to the plains and hills now known as Germany, England, France, or Spain. I got tired of western Europe, where everything has assumed u settled air, and where old ago and stability make a morbid impression on the novelty seek ing, active and creating American mind. Everything that oan be seen there has been studied and written up by Americans so often that 1 did not consider it worth while to write something about it again. Hardly anybody would care to read it, though, and I w ould be reproached for repeating and re freshing old themes. Once in Vienna a long ing to see something unusual, something out of the way, overcame me. A Russian friend called my attention to his native land, and one bright afternoon I boarded a train, crossed the frontier at Brodi, a town in Eastern Austria, and found myself under the aegis of the Czar, among gendarmes, Cossacks, soldiers, peasants, ex-serfs and strange people of all kinds. In Kieff, my first landing place, I remembered Chicago and sat down to narrate to my beloved fel low-townsmen my experiences. KIEFF, THE MOTHER OF RUSSIA. I have been fully rewarded for my ven turesome journey, Kieff is a beautiful town, and the Dnieper, on which it is situ ated, is a grand river. If one wants to study the history and life of Russia let him begin with Kieff, “the mother of the Rus sian cities,” the “Jerusalem of the Russian nation,” the “cradle of the Russian church,” as it is called by writers and poets. It is the oldest Russian city, whose origin is dated back to the eighth century. Hundreds of romantic legends and heroic songs are connected with its name. Here Vladimir the Great first introduced Christianity among the Russians, and here the first Rus sian statute laws were issued by the Grand Duke Yaroslave, the sage. Kieff has been completely destroyed and built up time and again. iVild inhabitants of the steppes as well as Tartars, Poles, Cossacks and Mus covites fought here for supremacy. It has a glorious history, which is writ ten on hundreds of monuments, although at present it seems to be an entirely now city, built after the modern European style, with stately buildings, beautiful private residences, broad streets, and spacious, shadowy parks and orchards. SVETLOFF, THE STUDENT NIHILIST. My Russian friend in Vienna, whose ad vice I followed in visiting this strange coun try, gave me some letters of introduction which proved of invaluable service. After having established myself in the Hotel de Paris, a splendid mansion with French cooks and servants, I hired a carriage and started out to make acquaintances. My first visit was to a young student named Svetloff. I found him in Ded. He received me very suspiciously, but after reading the letter I handed him he changed histone and invited me to sit down. It was a regular dwelling of a bachelor. The shoe-brush lay at one end of the room, books, pamphlets and papers were scattered around the floor; shirts, collars and various pieces of clothing occupied a number of chairs, and half a dozen empty w ine bottles and glasses, rem nants of caviar and cheese; left no free space on the table. The host asked to be excused. Ho would not change his habits for a moment, he said, for anybody in the world, and he would feel sick and unhappy all day if he neglected his toilet. A party of friends came together in his room the night before and had a good time, he add ed, pointing at the empty wine bottles. He spoke French, of course; he readily excused me for not having the least knowledge of his native tongue. A sturdy young fellow, a servant, brought in a huge tub and tilled jt with cold water. Ia rose to go, but Mr. Svetloff kept me back, saying I need not feel uneasy and might consider myself at home. He plunged himself into the tub. re mained there for awhile, and then he pro ceeded to makeup his toilet. Finally, freslj nd smiling, he reached me his hand, offer ing to become friends. He was young, tall and slender, with black hair, black eyre, and a constant benovolent smile on his clean, w'hite face. From his questions and re marks, made in an impnssionate, unostenta tious voice, I conjectured that, I had before me. one of those men with a dreadful repu tation whom rve commonly call Nihilists, but he won my confidence at once, and sur prised me by his thorough knowledge of our American institutions. He praised our na tional energy and self-confidence, and as sured me that I {would not regret my visit to Russia. He proposed himself to be mv guide, which proposition I accepted with thanks. At noon we left his room to visit a family named Choudzin, to whom I also had a letter of introduction. We were re ceived by a young lady of striking beauty and amiability. vivcc 11 ® Nikolayevna Choudzin,” said my Nihilistic friend, unceremoniously, introduc ing us.

Svetloff applauded the passionate out burst the young Choudzins ironically loaned over the table to shake bunds with tneir lit tie sister, while the mother, all confused, tried to excuse her. “Lina is so forgetful,” she said, “I foar her rashness will bring her one day into trouble.” Svetloff assured the old lady that I was an American, not a member of tho imperial detective force who would give her daugh ter away. ° Mine. Choudzin indignantly replied that she did not entertain such an idea for a mo adde i an<i ’ addreßsiu S herself to me, she I Russia people have become so gunrd- She did not end her sentence, for sudden ly strange sounds of music, coming from the open door of the drawing room, filled the air. I looked back and saw Lina sitting at tho piano. How wonderful was her music! Never before had I heard a combination of sounds with such a singular, bizarre, now complaining, now caressing, and almost moaning color of tune. Now she dragged and prolonged the measure so it sounded like the moaning of the wind; but then she tumbled and hurried it, making mo think that I was listening to a cataract of tones. I felt puzzled and captivated, but at the same time I enjoyed the music. Slowly the wrath or passion of the fair pianist subsid ed, the music assumed a certain color of calmness, and the tones began to hop on the key-board like ignes fatui over a stagnant surface of a lake. A CONVENTION ON THE PORCH. Suddenly Lina left the piano, and we all joined her in the veranda, adjoining a large garden with bulky, blooming trees, clean, yellow paths, delighted flowers, and all the gayety of May. It was a bright, warm afternoon. The air was spiced with blossom scent and filled with the humming and buz zing offices and butterflies. I was charmed by the calmness and grandeur of the scenery before me, and yet on the enlightened laces of ray friends, as well as on all their sur roundings, there hung, it appeared to me, some heavy, pressing burden, and every thing seemed incumbered by a longing to get rid of it. The conversation was re sumed. Lina’s eldest brother, an officer of the Russian army, desired to be enlightened on the organization of our militia and na tional army; the other two brothers, one a physician, the other a mechanical engineer and architect, asked questions pertaining to their professions. Lina asked how I liked the popular songs of Southern Russia that she had just played. Svetloff got warmed up and began to lecture on the political situ ation of his country. THE RUSSIAN POLITICAL SITUATION. “Russia,” he said, “may be called the youngest of the nations of Europe—a prom - ising but backward child, whose develop ment is a slow process Her rulers have been so little in the habit of recognizing the growth of a desire for improvement among the higher classes that when the deceased Emperor Alexander’s attention was directed to the awakoniag of the mind of the coun try, as shown by increased activity in all departments of thought, he deemed it be neath his notice. Hitherto absolutism had prevented all progress and stifled all aspira tions, providing no outlet for the energies of the young, aua taking no thought for the morrow or intellectual development. The literary and philosophical movement in the middle of the century, called Nihilism, re minds of the revival of learning in France before the revolution a hundred years ago, for Russia lags a hundred years behind the rest of Europe. There were the same en thusiasm, the same thirst for knowledge, the same worship of genius. Newspapers were multiplied, magazines were started, books and pamphlets sprang from the hands of the Erinter like the armed Minerva from the rain of Jupiter. Every work of merit published in England, France or Germany was at once translated into Russian and eagerly discussed. Nihilism was the nega tion of all doctrines not founded on pure reason —a bold declaration of war against everything that could impede or jjhacklo tho development of the human mind. The word was not used in a political sense till a much later period. In fact politics was then hardly thought of, and it was not till the death"of Emperor Nicholas, thirty years ago, that the spirit of radicalism, liitherto only applied to philosophical speculation, was turned to the affairs of the country. Then it was that the thinker became a re volutionist and took the oath of Hannibal against the present unjust order of things. Give us half of your American liberties aud we will be perfectly satisfied." A CHARM ING NIHILISTIC FAMILY. I remained with the Nihilistic family—for all, even the old lady, entertained revolu tionary ideas—until late in the afternoon. HvetlofFs honest face brightened more and more during the flow of tus eloquence. He drew a splendid picture of the domestic life of modern Russia, and enlightened me on subjects that interested me most. Lina's father, he said, was a Colonel in the Russian array He died at Plevna during the last Russo-Turkish war, leaving his family in good circumstances. Besides, the old lady wits pensioned by the government. Lina’s sister, a geniul young lady, died in a cell at the fortress of Ht. Petersburg, whither she hail been sent for affiliation with the Nihil istic movement. Lina herself, though a girl of 20 years, had already also had an oppor tunity to inhale prison air. She had ob tained the position of a teacher in a village, and because she dared to overstep the limits prescribed by the government, because she taught the peasant boys aud girls not only to read and writo, but told them stories from ancient and modern history, she was sus pected of Nihilism, arrested, aud kept in prison for three months. At fi o’clock a servant announced that tea was ready. It vvas the first time in my life that I tasted genuine Russian teu, and I must say it was delioious. At 7 o’clock we parted with the understanding that the next day I should be shown something “really strange und interesting,” as Lina ex pressed herself. MISS CLEVELAND ON PATRIOTISM.

I shall not try to speak of ail the ways by which this very undesir THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, JULY u, 1887. able reputation can he deserved; but there are two ways which are so much in the p 'int I wish to make, that I will speak < f ,tiem, a: and leave you to enumerate o.hers for yourself. In the first place, then, you can bo very un American indeed, and become more and more so, and when you have become just as un-American as you cau be. you can keep so bv simply being and remaining ignorant about your country. It is a good rule about good things that if you wish to feel very little interest in them you must know very little about them; and if you w'ish to have no interest, at all, you must know nothing. The rule holds particularly good about the particularly good thing we call America. The girl who wants to be un-American must know noth ing about her country; she can then feel no interest in it, and if she has no interest she will have no pride, no love, no Americanism. This is the first, best way to be un-American. In the second place, you can be very un-American indeed by being very something else—very French, very Italian, very German, or, alas! “very Eng lish !” There is no better way in the world to alienate yourself from an old friend or benefactor than to be disloyal to that, per son. The very best way in the world for a shallow girl to lose admiration for one friend is to compare that friend with an other who is more admired by every one else; who is “the fashion.” And, even if she is not shallow, it is a dangerous experi ment, if she wishes to i etc in her own self respect and sense of loyalty, for any girl to expose a dear friend to too much compari son with others, and to hear too much criti cism from others. It is a good thing not to permit one’s self to do this at all. If your old friend, your brother, your sister, your mother, your father, is not so much admired for surface qualities by people iu general as is some new friend, that is not your af fair: ho or she is, after all, yours, and yours to keep, yours, first and best, always and for ever. Avery good way Indeed to lie thought to be un-American, and to really become so, is to compare your country with other coun tries, with a constant willingness to believe the criticism of other people which makes America come out of the comparison second best. And then to imitate, as much as pos sible, the manner and customs of European countries; to catch up all the foreign expres sions and “airs” you can;in short, to be just as French or just as English as you possibly can be. You will lose your sense of loyalty toward your own land in this way, and then you will find it very easy to dislike America, just as we poor sinners find it very easy al ways to dislike everybody and everything which is a reproach to us. To be a truly American girl is to be a truly country-loving girl; that is, to Be truly patriotic; and that is to love and honor and lie ready to serve her country at all times and in all places. Plenty of times and plenty of places will be found if one is look ing for them. No American girl can possibly help loving and honoring her grand country if she knows anything about it. The long, thrill ing story "of its making, from first to last, from its Loginning way back in the hearts of men, to its present growth and greatness, will sink deeper and deeper into the heads and hearts ot all who study it, and mean more and more, as time goes on. Learn all you oan girls, of every country; you can never study history too much. But first and last and in the middle, learn all you can of your own country. You can never in a whole lifetime learn all there is to learn. The story can never grow stale, if rightly studied; and never grows tiresome. And stand up for America wherever you are. Don’t imitate any foreign styles or manners. If in the depths of your good, true, country-loving hearts you’are com pelled to admit that your country has a fault, as every great nation has, why, go to work to first conceal and then cure that fault; smd let it bo your glory that, as American girls, it is your mission to make everything American so good aud so beau tiful that not long hence it shall be more fashionable to be “very American’’ than very anything else;even “very English”. Rose Elizabeth Cleveland. UNITED AT FOURSCORE. An 80-Year-Old Couple Seek Happi ness in Camden’s Marriage Mart. From the Philadelphia Press. Dr. George Dean, one of Fairmount’s most prominent citizens and well known in political circles of the Fifteenth ward, was married to Mrs. Ann A. Wilson, a widow of 80 years, by Justice James M. Cossady, at his Camden residence, 128 Federal street, on Thursday, teu minutes after he had finished the double Irish-Chinese union. Dr. Dean is also 80 years old and has re sided in Fairmount for sixty years, having come to this country from Donegal, Ireland. He began his American career as a cobbler, and by his sixty years’ labor at the bench has acquired considerable money. He has also gained quite a reputation in tho last few years as a veterinary surgeon. The doctor has also been active in politics for forty years and is now judge of election in the Thirty-eighth division of the Fifteenth ward. Monday, tho Fourth of July, was selected as tho wedding day, but it was postponed until Tuesday, when they sought the advice of Mr. Peter Curry, who advised them to go to Camden and he would act as best mail. Accordingly they proceeded to Justice Cas sady's marriage establishment, where they answered the usual questions in a satisfactory manner. Both acknowledged to 80 years of life Very few knew of the wedding until Mr. Curry told a friend. His friend told an other, and it spread like wild fire by 0 o’clock in the evening. At that time their house on “Candy Row” was besieged by friends and others who had hoard the pe culiar nows, all intent on giving the couple a hearty welcome and serenade. Tavern keeper John Cain sent as a w-edding present a half barrel of beer, which was followed by more from almost every saloon keeper in the vicinity, so that, in half an hour no Jess than six barrels stood on the walk. The house in which the wedding festivi ties were held might possibly hold fifteen persons comfortably, but fully three times that number gained admittance and par took of the old doctor’s hospitality. The house itself is alsnit. twice as old ns the doc tor, having served as a barrack during the war of the Revolution. It is one story in height and has only one room, workshop and kitchen. Into this small space about forty people sat last night and drank the contents of two half barrels of beer. Crowds tilled Twenty-fourth and Brandywine streets and Pennsylvania avenue and sere naded the bridal couple to the music of the Ronaldson Brass Band. Officer Rooney, of the Ninth district, kept the good-natured crowd in order until a keg of boor was tapped on the stops. Then they became disorderly and boyond control. They procured fireworks and large torpe does, aud bombarded the sides of the old liarraeks. Ki rial ly they tore away the stoop. Inside the house the Jackson Bdcjnl sang a number of songs, and the 80-year-old couple responded with “When You and I were Young" amid tremendous applause. Mr. Curry and Joe McGilloway were masters of ceremonies. During tho tumult the mar riage certificate was stolen.
