Is the Czar mated or cueck-mated by a sect whose prospects of life are so disgusting, that they attach no value to their own existence, and find relief only in its extinction? The intentions of the new Czar are eagerly watched; bat the conditions of bis task are no secret.

It is in the admiuistra- Uon of the concessions the difficulty lies, for Russia wants totally governing classes—men of order and integrity, animated with the sen- tment of professional honor, without which there can be neither order 1a public affairs nor guarantees for the governed. THES EDUCATIONAL QUESTION. The Senate has rejected by a majority ef one the clause In the national educational Dill exempting all nuns and monks actually in ped- agogic harness—numbering 36,000—from taking outadiploma.

SPRINGTIGE IN PARIS—THE HORSE SHOW. Spring bas come and gore, yet in the parks ‘and avenues Paris seems to be full of buds and Bap. There are more material signs still of the time coming.

To be born a noble, implies, ay remarked, the mar- chioness de Lambert, simply to live nobly. There are noble families whose ancestor3,in the words of Erasmus, are ‘‘decompozed since ages”—these are born titled, others aristocratic since they have made money. All this re- sembles somewhat what Brillat-Savarin ob- served of cooks: “one can become @ cook, but a roaster must be born.” The new aristocracy Diushes at its humble apd recent origin, yet there was once a king of Sicliy whose father was a potter, and he fook pride in preserving and exhibiting the old china made by his Paps.

There is dissatisfaction in the Johnson Street Methodist Episcopal Church, in Brooklyn, over its treatment at the recent conference. The church is a large white frame structure, at Jobson and Jay streets. It has a large mem- bership, and formerly it was of financial im- portance to the conference, as Its contributions were liberal and it paid its pastor $3,000 a year. It, however, gradually reduced the preacher's , Until last year it Was able to pay the Ray. orge Lansing Taylor only $1,000, and the trustees said that they could now ntee his successor more than $300 for the next year. ‘The contributions and membership waned, and the trustees thought that a new minister would build up both again, and, consequently, ag more important Methodisc churcnes were arranging beforehand for their pastors, contra- ry to ne pea of the Caurch, the Johnson street brethern concluded that they would do likewise. Accordingly, they arranged with the Rev. J. T. Hargrave, of the New Paltz M. E. Church, which is in the New York Confer ence, to become their pastor, and a committee was appointed to see Bishops Wiley and Bow- man, to arrange for Mr. Hargrave’s transfer. Bishop Bowman acquiesced, but Kishop Wiley refused to permit the transfer, and was very decided in nis answer to the comatttee. The committee was highiy displeased with Bishop Wiley's reception of the request, and as the plan could not be carried out without his ascent, the committee passed resolutions, which were sent to the bishop. These resolutions, which the bishop sa‘d were rebellious, taform< ‘him Ubat the church had made its choice, and Intended to abideby it. ‘The church edifice, he was told, was not held, as are most of the churches of the conference, subject to the latter's control a3 to the manner of worship and appointments of mlutsters, but was desded absolutely to the trustees of the church. Bishop Wiley ignored the resolutions, and appointed the Rev. B. F. Reeve, of East New ark, as the pastor of the church,while Bisuop Bowman sent Mr. Hargrave back to New Platz. ‘The trustees determined not to accept Mr. Reeve, and on Friday they telegraphed to Mr. Hargrave to come down. Mr. Reeve reported to church on Friday night to conduct its evening service, but he met with a cold recep- ton, and Brother Ames conducted the services. Mr. Hargrave arrived jate and it was agreed Unat he should be recognized as pastor, instead of Mr. Reeve; that he should consent to as- sume to be the pastor, and that the Rev. Mr. Reeve should be denied support. @n Sai evening, at a fully attendod meeting of the members of the church, the fol- lowing resolutions were passed: Whereas, It ia our unanimous conviction that the Jobnson Street Church has suffered cryel and op- PU pe rite at the hands of Bishop Wiley a 5 Whereas, it ig due to our eelf-respect and the fuvure gucd ot the Jounson trect Church and the cause of the Msster ia general that we resist sacu treatment and assert our independence: ‘Ihe Resolved, That we resfiirm the reeolutions passed at a previous mecting, and that we will carry thom out.

Hargrave in poseeasion of cur pulpit st the earliest possible day. The meting instructed its Chairman, Mr. R. ‘M. Quincey, to sign the resolutions, and send thei to the bishop and cthers concerned. Presiding Eider Kettell, having heard of_ the trouble, determined to carry out the will of the conference, and early on Sunday morning he took e of the pulpit with Rev. B. F. Reeve. The outgoing pastor, Rev. G. L, Taylor, refused to surrender the pulpit to any one except Mr, Reeve, and, it is said, favored a police guard for his successor on Sunday morsing, bat this suz- gestion was not Carried out. When the recal- citrant trustees saw Dr. Kettell and Mr. Reeve jn the pulpit on Dope some of them stepped up to the chancel rai}, and calling Dr. Ket- tell down informed him that they would not accept Mr. Reeve as their pastor, and that if he remained he would get no sal- ary. The presiding elder said that the or- ders of the bishop must b2 carried out. Rev. Mr. Hargrave arrived with Brother Quincay, and went Into the pulpit, which Mr. Reeve continucd to occupy. Mr. Reeve whispered to ‘im that he intended to hold the fort, and that Mr. Hargrave might as well yleld without ask- ing @ scene, and “Mr, Hargrave retired. Tao presiding elder addressed the congregation, and advised the church to oby the conference. The Rev. Mr. Reeve preached upon “Christian Work,” and said that he would net remain in the church ten minutes if he thought he was notto have the hearty co-operation of the members. ‘The trustees are determined to have Mr. Har- grave, even if it is n to make their church in mt. Therp was a consuita- tion last night as to what should be the next step, but 80 far nothing definite has been de- termined upon except to hold out against the bishop's appointee, and to retuse to pay him any salary.—. ¥.

We read in Plautus of an unfor- tunate parasite having a pot full of ashes flung at his head at dinner for no other purpose than to raise a general laugh against him. Some anecdotes are told which confirm this view. One Philoxenus, a poet of Cythera, was @! with Dionysius, Observing a small mullet served on his plate, but @ large one on that of the host, he took the coeked fish In his hands and applied it “ What are you doing?” asked the host. “I am writing 8 poem entitled ‘Galatea,’ and I want to learn trom this fish something about Nereus! But it says it was caught too young, whereas the big tish on your piate fol- lowed in Nereus’ train, and knows all about him.” The host laughed, and ordered the fishes to be exchanged. A certain ee eploge was diniag ata table on which sea-urchins were served. He took one, and not khowing how to manipu- late is, put it into bis mouth and crushed it Shell and all. After making wry faces over it he exclaimed, with true Spartan bravery : “Filthy eating! I am not going to turn a cow- ard and give you up now, but I shan’t take youany more.” Rather a neat repartee is re- corded of one Philoxenus, a parasite, Observ- ing that the host supplied black bread, he quietly sald, “Don’t put any more of that or you Will make the room dark.” Another, seo ing an entree that was being carried round stop at the host, inquired, “Am I tipsy, or is ita fancy of mine that these things are going round?”—Fraser's Magazine.

Ia some parts of Western Hu Pel and Eistera Szechuen it is all put untversal; there are few adults in any station of life wo do not take an occasional whiff,and the very streets of ths towns and villages reek with optum fumes. ‘Tne practice is there indulged in in the most open manner, and no more stigma or disgrace altackes tolttban to smoking tobacco. Mr. Watters, Her Majeaty’s consul at Ichang, mad> careful inquiries last year into the origin of this practice, and he found that it had beea indulged in for several hundred years, long before either tho present reigo! gynasty or foreign merchants and their opium were ever dreamt of, The custom generations ago passed into the family Sacra, and at funerals in the west of China, among other gifts which are transmitted into the next world, by burning paper fac simlles of them in this, for the solace Of the departed, is a cemplete sat of optam smoking juisites—pipe, lamp, needle, etc. By the people themselves the habit, 80 far from bein; as curse, 1s looked on as & sine qua non tor @ Chinaman who wishes to make the best of both worlds. ‘The whole of the opium consumed in the West is locally produced, and Indian opium does not come higher up the Yangtsze than the districts cont! to the portot Hankow, nor is it imported by any channel into West- ern Hu Pel, Szechuen or the other provinces of the West. Above and beyond the enormous quantity there grown for local use there is a large trade in the drug, mostly contraband, frem West to East. Indian opium is consumed Im the provinces adjacent to the treaty ports, and, belng an ex ve ariicle as compared with native opium, is mostly smoked by the Well-to-do clas3es. The common people in these provinces smoke the native drug, whica ig either grown on the borders of Kiang Su and Ho Nan or is smuggled overland from the West. All Western Ci therefore, aud the lower classes in Enstern Caina smoke native-grown opium. Religion, Brigandage—Greece.

A BOGUS BRICK. How a Prominent Chicago Hinker Was Swindied Gul of 82,000. {Little Bock (Ark. ) Gazette | Frederick B. Cole {s on trial at the Hot Springs for selling a bogus gold brick to one of he most prominent Chicago bank presidents. Cole put in an appearance at the Springs a few Gays ago. He was destrous of obtaining all information possible to be obtained with refer- ence to the waters, customs of the country, habite of the people, etc. He was of a spec: ulative tum of mind, When happening to associate for ine time with some gentie- man he had told him the story of a fast young man who had led a life of dissipation and Was even then upon the outskirts of the city, but did not wish to come into the val- Jey, fearlag that he would be recognized by former triend3 who were here. It was his de- sire to flee the country and go to Mexico,where he had determined to lead a different life, But he was without means upon which he could make the trip. He, however, had in hts posses- sion a gold brick, weighing thirty-three pounds, aud that he would sell the same at a very low price. The Chicago banker took the dose, swallowed the bait and interviewed the young when darkress had thrown her sabie mantie over us, actually purchased the brick and paid 2,000 in cash. A few days after making the purchase Le ascertained that he was duped aud that his property was anything else but a genu- Ine gold brick. Ingenious but Ineffectual. In Ulinots some gentlemen had a mos: elabo- Tateplan for obtaining drinks. They formed an essociation for the avowed purpose of promo- tung temperence, frien¢ship and such-like vir- tues. One of the associates was already the happy possessor Of a dramshop; the association bought him out, hock, stock and barrel; then— for be was 6 joll fellow—they elected him to the honorable and onerous position of treasurer and left him in charge of the old shop. So anxious were the‘promoters to extend the be- Bign benefits of temperance and friendahip that the doors of the society were thrown open to aby and to all who were willing to pay the nominal fee of one dollar. In token of pay- ment of the fee the member received a ticket upon which were the numbers from one to twenty inclusive, When moved by one of the “Beasons why men dink; Good wine, a friend, becaute I'm dry, Or lest I should be by and by, Or any other reason why,” the member called upon the treasurer, pre sented his ticket, had & numter punched aud received nis liquor or his cigar.
