From the 41h to te 14th of October last th inliitary court of Kbarkoff was engage: tiny fourteen persons ac ntrary, inetting et ppott had that Dantloff had tasilted the ers Who Went to arrest bim; that Professor Sytzianxo had not reported to ‘the authorities the crimes of bis son, Alexander, a youth @f 19 years. The accusations against the other pris- Oners were comparatively Instgalficant. Tae defence was conducted very poorly, all the counsel betng appointed by the court from among the military counsel. The trial of the youth Sytztanko produced an unusual excite iment ip the court. Dr. Sytaanke had ali the sympathy of the pubiic, being esteemed hath as an able professor of the Uatvérsity of Kharkoff and as a physician, Eight months of prison Ife bad made him almost unrecognizable; his face was deadly pale, Still when examined he de fended himself ably. His son, Alexander, a gym- nasium pupil,was undondtediy the most remark. able of all the accused. His beautiful face, his clear and charming voiee,and his eloquence pro- duced a very favorable tmpression on the public. ‘The most striking moment of the trial was this. The attorney for the state asked why, the preliminary ual made certain statements whic ial he Teealled. In explanation bed | moat eloquently all the horrors of the prisor life he bad been submitted to, His paysicat sufferings and moral tortures, be sa‘, had ro duced him to a condition in which no person can be responstble either for his words or for his actions, He told how he felt whea winter he was shut tn a smail. dark, damp, underground ceil, and subsisted for a time on one glass of water that was given to him o: jn twenty-four hours. The father of youth could not stand such a dreadful tale; he fainted and so put an end to the exposition of the secrets of the political prison. A most exciting scene followed. All the ladies present in the court-room cried and sobbed. and tears were seen on the faces of the stoutest men. The court adjourned. When it reappeared the attorney for the prosecution requested that the prison authorities and guard- fans should be summoard as witnesses. (Ga the next day they were brought. Alexander Sytzianko was requested to repeat what Rs had said on the previous day about the abuse received by bim at the hands of the prison authorities. This he did, and added some details even more shocking. Again his father felt sick, and requested te court to be allowed to leave the court-room. This petition was granted. The prison authorities were unable to contradict the startling revelations made by the youthful prisoner. ‘On Oct. 14 the judgment of the court was an- nounced to the accused. Alexander Sytzlanko and Legky, being deprived of all rights, were sent to Siberia for two years and eiguc months at bard labor; Philippoff, being deprived of cer- tain special rights, was exiled to Siberia for two years; Blinoff and Kuznetzoff were sent to @ fortress for four montas; Dantloff also got four months, and Gotubef! two months.

The writers would give to the talk of the salons a stimulus, the waht of which is dally deplored; they would bring with them ori- ginal ideas, picturesque fancies, the flame and the@enthustasm which are necded there. On the other hand, society would teach them those habits of elegance, that exquisite polish of manners, that sense of tue correct thing, which are now too often despised by literary men. Too often writers confound negligence with slinplicity, and independence with license.

To {ts posses- ston certain social advantages are attached. A vast amount of the land in England belongs to no one in existence. by the will of some one who fs dead, it is the property of some on? who is not born. The life-tenant, whether he cares for country life, whether he has the means to keep up an establishment, and whether he Is overburdened with settlements aud mortgages, is compelled to own a large garden and large pleasure grounds attached to It. As in inapy Instances he is Indifferent to his heir, and In still more frequent cases has to 8ave to provide a porifon for his daughters and younger sons, he lays out nothing on the estate, und is unabie, by the tenure under which he oceupies it, to give such long leases as would induce occupants to turn it to the best use. Habit, moreover, has often led the owner to impose numerous restriciive clauses in the leases that he does grant, which cripple the en- ergies of the tenant, and keep him under the \utelage of exploded faltacles. An occupier who wishes to buy land has, therefore, pay forit more than it is worth, and. beside this, he has to expend a compara- Uvely enormous sum among lawyers for acquir- log it. ‘The result of all this 1s, that land has accumulated to a scandatous extent in the hands of some families, that in others it is 2 curse to the or, Uhat the oceupier is not lls own master, and that it 1s all Aufiposst- ble for any yeoman, wishing to become posses. ‘or Of a small farm, to purchase one, unless he oo Ready to pay a fancy value for 1t.—Lowton ruth, A Church that is a Guaranty of Character.
