The absurd restrictions placed by the government on the Russian press tend to keep the people in the dark as to the actual amount of the danger from the secret organizations. The police spies pro- ceed in their vexatious inquisitions as if every society, no matter what its object, were formed for some criminal purpose. Clubs which in England would be looked upon as harml+ss trades unions are dogged and persecuted as though they were con- spiring against the order and peace of society. If the press were allowed to publish what it knows on such questions, the authorities would be saved a great deal of trouble and the officers of the law would have more time and energy to devote to the real criminals. But it is only from foreign journals that anything can be learned of what is going on in the heart of the empire. Editors are allowed to express opinions con- cerning Fenians, or Communisis or German socialists, but Nihilism is to them a tabooed subject. Or, if they ever touch on it at all, they can only mention bare facts, with the names of persons arrested and on trial. The whole system is abeurd and does more harm to Rusia than is done by the harbor- ine of refugees aboard which is so mach complained of. oni

Prince Bismarck has just given another proof, although of a negative character, perhaps, of his contempt for the methods of the present Premier of England. His admiration for Earl Beaconstield having become almost proveibial, one of the lead- ing London newspapers recently sent him a note requesting in the most polite manner that he would favor them with an article containing his opinion of the late Earl's public and private career. To this, Bis- marck has written a reply in which he states that, while it wonld give him great

leastre to put on record a tribute to Beaconsfield’s greatness, he cannot jeopar- dize the existing friendly relations between his government and that of Mr. Gladstone, by so doing. This is interpreted as a characteristically sarcastic way of Bismarck’s saying that if he were to write whet he thought, the contrast would be so marked between the greatness of Disraeli and the littleness of Gladstone that it would result in an amount of bitterness which he does not care to stir up.

Advices from St. Petersburg dated April 15th say:—‘‘In relation to the late failure of the crops and reported famine in Eastern Russia, Baron Uexkull, who was com- missioned by the government to make enquiries, reports that no famine exists, and that no deaths from hunger have oc- curred. Great poverty and destitution however, prevails in mrny villages, but all possible aid is being sfforded to the dis- tressed population. The deficiency of the grain crop in Russia is giving rise to a discussion as to the advisability of pro- hibiting the export of grain. This would be a very severe step indeed, in view of Russian indebtedness to Western Europe, and the difficulty already experienced in discharging it.”

The attempt to aboiish slavery in Brazil is succeeding well. The number of slaves has diminished by nearly twenty-five per cent inten years. In the Province of Caera the population is this year for the first time wholly free. The slaves have been redeemed by emancipation societies, private donations, their own savings and the generosity of their masters, or by the contributions from the municipal and provincial treasuries. The best popular opinion in Brazil is opposed toslavery. Dom Pedra is 6 pronounced abolishionest, and is a large contributor to the emancipation funds. Several of the provincial legislatures have imposed high taxes on property in slaves.

Ingersoll is pitching into christianity again. He has a new lecture in which orthodoxy is fiercely disapproved. Robert has it all his own way, for though ‘‘statis- tics are against him,” as the Telegram says “statistics are nothing when a wan hires a hall and grows eloquent.
