BRIBERY IN RUSSIA.
An Incident of the Reign of the “Czar-
Liberator.”
An old and long retired Russian gen
eral. a man of the "old school.” relat
ed the following story in Illustration
of the official bribery that prevails in
Russia, the incident being one within
his own personal knowledge:
During tlie reign of Alexander 11.,
the "czar-liberator,” the widow of a
distinguished general endeavored to
obtain an appointment in a certain
ministry for her only son, a young
man of superior education and Intelli
gence. The minister promised the
widow to reserve the first occurring
vacancy in his department. She wait
ed in vain for the fulfillment of the
promise and twice repeated her appeal
by letter. She learned, too, that In the
meantime several vacancies had been
filled by other candidates.
The widow then waited upon the em
peror and told tils majesty of the min
ister’s broken promises and her own
keen disappointment, and after a few
moments’ consideration the czar asked
her If she had Inclosed a gift of money
to the minister with tier written ap
plication.
“Why, certainly not, your majesty.
I should not dare put such an a (Trout
upon his excellency.”
"Do not trouble yourself about the
affront, inadame,” replied the cz-ir.
"but renew your proshenie lo the min
ister and inclose £1,000 to him."
“But I have no such sum of money,
your majesty," saiil the widow dole
fully.
"Oh, as to that, 1 will lord you the
money, and ihe minister will no doubt
repay me, and you will inform me,
please, of the result of your renewed
appli.-ntion with the inolosure.”
The widow sent her son to the min
ister with the £1.000 lent by the ••r.ar
inclosed with a pdlilcly written note,
the result being that the young man
received the desired appointment the
same day.
About a week later the minister Inrd
just concluded Ills customary official
report to the czar when bis majesty
observed, "By the way. there is a very
intelligent and promising young man.
the son of the late General — . for
whom you can perhaps find a fairly
prospective position in your depart
ment.”
"But, your majesty,” said t!n> min
Ister, "that young man ts already in
my department, and I should say that
he is likely to make a career for him
self.”
"Tell me. please." quietly asked the
czar, "how much did this youth's
mother pay you for the appointment’'"
The minister was too wily and tact
ful outwardly to manifest Ills surprise
and chagrin, and he knew. too. that
his safety demanded a perfectly can
did reply to ills sovereign.
“Would your majesty be Interested."
he said, "to hear what I myself paid
for the influence which procured my
portfolio from your gracious hands’'
The total sum was £22,500. and. rela
tively speaking, I do not think, V">
all humility, that this lady has pa ,t
at till dearly for the prospects of her
son.”
The minister repaid to the czar the
£1,0(10 and was not unkindly dismissed
from the audience, and he also re
tained his portfolio.—Odessa Cor. Lon
don Standard.
The African Buffalo.
A wounded buffalo is vastly more
dangerous when lie runs awa.v (ban
when lie charges, for in nine cases out
of ten after a dash that may lie for a
few hundred yards or a mile lie will
revengefully circle back to an Inter
ception of bis own trail, stand bidden
in grass or thicket until bis pursuer
comes plodding along the trail and
then charge upon him. Despite the
fierce temper of a lone bull, his snvnvc
cunning and ids great, charging bulk.
T believe him much less dangerous
than llie lion, for be lias far less speed,
lacks the lion’s poisoned claws and is
a much bigger target. Tills opinion is
substantiated by the indisputable fact
that at least ton men are killed or
mauled by lion to one killed by buf
falo.—Edgar Beecher Bronson hi Cen
tury.
In Memoriam.
Death, with his icy finger, has
touched the heart and sinless brow of
aonther of our fairest and dearest jew
els, and we have been made to know
that God’s will must be done. Little
Idella Mae Smith, eldest daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Smith, was born
Nov. 18, 1901, and departed this life
Sept. 18, 1909. l.ltle Idella leaves a
kind and loving father, a dear, heart
broken mother and two little brothers,
besides a host of sorrowing friends
and relatives. But we weep not ns
those who have no hope, for we know
that our loss is heaven’s eternal gain.
We know she has gone to meet her lit
tle sister, Sellnh Louise, who preceded
her to the grave only a few weeks.
All was done that loving hands could
do, but the One who said, "Suffer lit
tle children to come unto me and for
bid them not, for of such is the king
dom of heaven,” had need of our dear
little Idella and Louise.
Idella hove her sickness patiently,
although she suffered greatly from a
malignant case of typhoid fever ; but
it is a sweet consolation to know that
she is now free from suffering. She
has gone where suffering is unknown,
to bask in the sunlight of God’s love,
and is waiting for her loved ones to
gather home on« by one. Weep not,
fond parents, hut think of your darling
as waiting for you on that shining
shore, where God wipes all tears away.
There is the tree of life, and the dear
Lamb, who was slain for our sins,
stands ready to gather home His jewels.
May Jesus comfort the hearts of the
dear ones and help them to say, ‘‘Thy
will be done, not mine.”
Little Idella was laid to rest in the
Moreland cemetery, to await the res
urrection morn.
"Thou art prone, our precious durlinir,
Novoi’ will thy memory fade;
Sweet eat I hong’llta will ever linger
’Round the prrave where thou art laid.”

Obituary.
On the morning of June 29. 1909, the
soul of our sister, Zephia Barrett Gor
don, winged its flight, heavenward,
while all earth was awakening to life,
and springtime was in its glory but
she answered the summons bravely,
for she had made her peace with the
Lord. She was horn July 13, 1889, was
married to W. G. Gordon May 5, 1907,
and died June 29, 1909 aged 20 years.
She united with Prospect church,
Heard county, in early life, whore her
parents belong. It was not the privi
lege of her bereaved father and mother
to be with her in her last illness, hut
she murmured not, and all that loving
friends and relatives could do was done
for her, but to no avail. She called
each member of tho family to her and
hade them a last goodbye, telling thsm
she was ready to go. She leaves, be
sides her husband and little daughter,
a sorrowing father and mother, four
sisters and one brother, besides a host
of other relatives to mourn ner death.
While we know that we cannot have
her back with us, yet we would have
her death as a benediction to us all,
guiding us onward and upward to
things brighter and better, so that
when the summons comes we can he
ready and again be united, never more
to be parted.
A few more yearH Hhall roll,
A few more seasonb come.
And we shall Bleep with those who
Sleep within the tomb.
