In a notice of Vietor Tissot’s ‘ Russians and Germans.’ the London Spectator says “The au- thor confirms what has always been our own opinion—namely, that the nihilists in Russia are numerically unimportant. Wherein, then, | does their strength lie? How are they able to | paralyze a vast military empire. and make the beolute ter of eighty millions of subjects a prisoner in his own palace? The author answers question in a sentence. ‘Their strength,’ he says, ‘lies not in their number, for they are «dfull, but in their fanaticism. in ‘their st_ resolution to perish to the last ‘| man, whether by torture or the gallows, with h roic firmness displayed by the’ early Ss struguling against the emperors,and je of strength and the rotting Political assassinations are attempts at them generally unsuccess- ful. because the assassins take too many precau- | tions to ensure their own escape. The Russian ts, handful as they are, are formidable be- ‘ause they giadly sacrifice their lives in the of their designs. Their self-sacri- , cing zeal is, after all, only a perverted torm of | the splendid heroism which conquered Napoleon | by the conflagration of Moscow. But who are | the nihilists? ‘The majority of them,’ says M. Tissot, ‘consist of students who have’ failed in_ their or whom poverty has driven from the universities, embittered school- masters, underpaid public officials who are dying | of huager, lieutenants and subalterns who have | been disappointed in theirambitions. Pessimist | ideas have invaded all these brains, and from pessimism to nihilism there is but one step.” M. Tissot calls attention to the notable fact that the nihilist ranks are largely recruited by Jews. “There are ten times as many Jews as there are Russians, Poles or Germans.’ And, what is still more remarkable, the Jewish women are more prominent than the men in the nihili tmovement. They appear to be impressed with rit and resolution ot Judith, prepared to ‘ything in avenging themselves on their ressors, Even young unmarried Jewesses, ‘of remarkable beaiity,’ discarding the ordinary restraints ot their faith and sex, are found inthe forefrout of this crusade against the existir order of things.

These | root of the present order of things; it is therefore necessary to sweep them all away.” Cruikshank’s Activity as an Artist. I have glanced at the more Important work produced by George C.aikshank between 1820 and 1830; and the reader has seen what kind of | effect it made in its time, and how it has been Judged by critics of high authority. But the | full'strenzth of the artist can be estimated only after an examination of the sum of minor work | which he got through at the same time. When | his “Life in London and Paris,” “Phrenological | Illustrations,” “Humorist.” “Points ot Humor,” | and many series of book illustrations—compre- ‘hending a notable quantity of his best crea tions—are estimated, in conjunction with his hand-to-meuth work’ for the caricature shops, the whole has been surveyed at once, the connoisseur stands literally amazed at the im- | measurable fecundity of the artist. Within the [range of this decade of feverish activity is massed such wealth of fancy, of invention, of jocund spirit, of sympathy for suffering, of rage over wrong, of minute observation, of men and things, and withal such conscientious, ever-im- proving execution with pencil and needle, and lithographic ink and ~ tinting-brush, upon wood and stone and steet and copper, jas not ail the caricatumsts or comic artists who have swarmed in Fleet 4 | street since the queen’s coronation day could equal, if they made a joint show of their best. Cruikshank was lavish with his faney, and his humor lives npon the smatiest subject. He never ade one poor litte idea stand alone, as the the comic or satirical cartoons of nt day. It was his wont to support ant conception with a seore of helpful e He laid every detail under contri- is the elucidation of the story to His caricatures as well as his serious | pictures shound in admirable by-play His power of concentrating interest is unmatched. | His chairs and tables «peak. There is life in | every accessory. Nafure morte did not exist for him. “Dead as a door-nail” he could not under- stand; for under the magnetism of his etching needle the nail would laugh and speak, He was so full of life bi hornpipe cer In his eighty-fourth year—that, in spite of him, he in- fused it into anything he touched. No artist | ever threw such movement and infused such | vital breath into his pictures as this untangiit man of gentus spontaneously breathed into his | etchings and woodcuts. A scrimmage by him inclines the beholder to lift his arm to protect himself. When he leads off a dance upon cop- per, you involuntarily bum a jig. When his page are merry, you laugh outright with them. On the other hand, in his mood solemn, he can make your heart beat quick and send you shuddering away, with his images m your brain—presences you will find it hard te banish. “The awful Jew that Cruikshank drew” lngered for years in Thackeray's mind, and the profound upeiod whieh It made on the | public, when it appeared, has not faded even now.

CURIOSITIES OF WILL-MAKING. Rules Which Some Men Are Ignorant of and Others Ignore. From the Springfield Republican. ‘The journals of a year past have mentioned an extraordinary number of queer or contested wills. Are people Qecoming more disposed to draw their own wills without employing law- yers? There is no reason why aay one should not draw a will who has fair business-alike ability to write out the gifts. Common sense suggests that the paper ought to be headed as a will, and it is not difficult to learn by inquiry how many witnesses are required in the particu- state; this, by the way, is the state where the testator resides (at his death); a will drawn for @ man on a journey should follow the law of the state where he has his home. Neither bad grammar nor misspelling in the vody of a will vitiates it: if the judzes can understand what the paper means tliey will order that done. Wills having nearly every important word misspelled and almost destitute of punctuation have been accepted. Maine papers say that a court has lately taken proof of a will made in pantomime by a man who was deaf and dumb. and could not write or use the manual alphabet. But mistakes which obscure the meaning make trouble. A story last summer was that Mr. Matthew Vas- sar, when drawing his own will, meant to leave 27,000 to seven churches—i. e., $1.000 apiece— but in copying his rough draft he inadvertently inserted the word “each,” giving the churches $7,000 each, or $49,000 in all. The general rule as to mistakes is that if the will is Incid and in- telligible, and can be carried into effect as it reads, this must be done; the language cannot be altered because witnesses say that the testa- tor meant something different from what he wrote. But if what is written cannot be per- formed, the courts will then take proof of what the man meant to write. Curious conditions are sometimes imposed. One testator declared in his will that if any lege tee should attempt to break it he should a barred from all share. Another cut off any heir who should wear moustaches! Another said that each legatee must take the pledge before receiving his share, and should forteit a half- year's income for every breach o7 it. Another left to his family physician £2,000 if testator should live two years, or £3,000 if he should live five; but unluckily for the doctor, the patient lived only a week. Whether conditions of this kind are operative depends on the cir- cumstances; if they are lucid and practicable the courts wiil enforce them, but many are so ex- pressed that they amount to nothing. If you wish that your legatee should not receive the pro- perty unless he complies with a condition, say 80 plainly in the will, and the condition, if not con- trary to law. will probably be enforced. But to make him give back the legacy because of \7—— breaking the condition after it has been paid may not be so easy. And do not mention the request at allin the will, but write them in a letter separately, unless you mean that, if they are not obeyed, the legacy shall be forfeited. their possession of domestic animals, and even. in some cases, of slaves, it must be adinitted that they have a fair claim to pe next to man in the scale of intelligence. Times. peek ena Virginia Hospitality, Over beyond Strasburg I came upon a farmer sitting on a log in front of a house which I first took to be a stable, because a mule stood with his head inside. He had an acre or two ot clear- ing on the hiliside, but he was a hard-up man. no mistake. [ dismounted to talk with him about the battle field. of Cross Keyes, and after a bit he said: “Stranger, 'd invite ye to dinner, but I presume you don't relish dodgers and bacon.” Then we talked a little more at Fremont’: troops, and he said: “Stranger, I'd like to feed that hoss, but my old mule has had to browse tighty fine to keep on his legs this fall.” Then we talked about Stonewall Jackson and his march up that road, and the farmer branched off with: “Stranger, I'd like to offer ye a drink o” suthin warmin’, but the fact is I hain’t seen a pint o’ whisky since the war.” Then I in- quired how far it was to Port Republic, and whether the bridge had been rebuilt, and he answered me and added: “Stranger, I do feel asif J orterto ask ye in to.see the family, but the old woman’s down with the chills, Sall’s over the ridge, and the fire went out an hour ago.” I mounted my horse and handed him a cigar. That broke him up. He turned it over and over, looked up and down the road, and from me to the house, and finally seized my leg, and exclaimed: “Stranger, 1am poor and way down, and sometimes wicked; but I'm right thar when aman calls my hand! I can’t feed e, nor warm ye, nor give ye whisky nor to- ker, but if ye don’t get off'n that hoss and come over to the spring ang have some water with me, I'll never forgive ye on airth.” And we drank to his luck.—Free Press. 90 Government Employes and Political Assessments. From the Providence Journal. We think the employe should exercise his own judgment. He should not be coerced on the one hand, nor should he be frightened by the civil service association on the other. If a man in the employ of the government believes that one party is more likely than another to sustain the political doctrines he deems essential, and that these doctrines are necessary to the best welfare of the country, then there is no more reason why he should be denied the right of con- | tributing to the support of such party than there would bein passing alaw that no Congrega- tionalist should be permitted to subscribe to the support of a Congregational minister. hot arguing the question of abuse; we are sim- | ply saying that upon principle-it is absurd to : Say tl a man shall nof help sustain that which he deems to be essential tor his and his coun- try’s good. 1882 THE NEWSPAPERS 1 SS2 Requests which are not peremptory conditions often make trouble. When Heller, the magician, died he bequeathed his apparatus to be de- stroyed. In some instances a testator has di- rected that a favorite horse or other pet should be killed, “est it fall into unkind hands.” It is doubttul whether a court would compel an ex- ecutor to destroy property because the will so desired. Wills are allowed for giving one’s property: that useful animals or articles should e destroyed is not for public benetit. Direc- tions given in a will as to mode of burial, or for cremation, are also subjects of the sanitary law of the place. It is only when one designs to give his pro) erty outright in simple ways that he should draw his own will; for comp dowing new institutions, or tying up property for a future time, a lawyer's aid inay be very needful. Eyen lawyers sometimes make mis- takes. A New York lawyer named Rose drew his own will, leaving about two million to be held for five years to see whether other givers would add $300,000; if they would the whole should go to endow a “Rose Beneficent Associa- tlon;” if they would not, then his money was to go to other charities. Now the law does not al- low property to be held in suspense for a deti- nite term of years; therefore his gift was pro- nounced void. Some most absurd blunders haye been made by lawyers in drawing wills for themselves. It is not obligatory to appoint an executor, but doing so is wise, and if a testator has enonzh confidence in the person named to direct that “he shall not be required to give security,” this may prove a great convenience. As respects signing and witnessing, wills often fail for some informality in these, especially in New York, where the form Is stricter than in most states. A story of last samme: was thata will was presented, written partly in black pen- | cil, partly in blue, (2 will Is not vold because in | pencil, though ink Is far better;) about half was | written on one page, and the witnesses signed | at the foot; the other half was written on the other page, and then came the testator’s signa- ture. This instrament was discarded, because the witnesses did not sign at the end of the will Common sense ought to tell any one that any important paper ought to be compieted before the signatures are affixed. | The New York rule as to signing and witnes- | sing is that there must be two witnesses; the | testator must sign in their presence, inform them that the paper 1s his will, (ie need not | tell them what is In it), andask thein to witne it; and they must sign their names and re dences as witnesses at the end of the will. Th usually sign below a brief memorandum certi ing that these things were done; but this me: orandum is not strictly essential. Keep the will, when completed, ina safe place. In M. setts, lately, a will was contested because rats had eaten the signature. Lord St. . will was lost, and was established only by the fortunate f.ct that his daughter was able to re~ | peat the -ubstance of it from memor: = ee ‘Whe Senses of Ants. That ants can talk with each other in any proper sense of the term seems improbable. It | would seem, for example, that one ant has no power to tell another where a store of food is to be found; she may take her friends to the place, or they may find their way by tte smell of her track, but that is about all. Their sense of smell is very powerful, and no doubt it is by this they mainly recognize their friends, the denizens of the same nest. Sir John Lubbock made many crucial experiments on this point, | experiments that cannot leave a shadow ot doubt as to the power the ants have of distin. | guishing between friends and strangers; and with them every stranger is an enemy, at whom their first impulse is to “’eave arf'a brick.” ‘The evidence that ants have a sense of hearing is by no means satisfactory; if they have, it must be very different trom that of ours, though SirJohn seems inclined to believe that they may may be able to perceive sounds below or above the reach of the human organ. That this isthe case with their sight there can be no doubt from the beautiful-experiments vhich Sir John has carried out. That they can see the colors beyond the violet end of the spec- tram, colors which human beings have never seen, bat which we know to exist from their chemical action, he has clearly proved. Every one knows how exquisite is the structure of an insect’s eye; ants at least seems to have a double optical system, the ocellus, a sort of cyclopean eye in the center of the head, and the muttiple eyes on each side, some of which have a thousand facets. What the special function of each set is we cannot say; but that the world as seen through the eyes of an ant presents a very different aspect from that which it does to the simple binocular of man, Sir John's experiments have made very clear. Soetally and economically thereare many differences between various kinds of ants, as there are between different races ot men. Sir John belleyes he has detected the degrading influence of slavery among those ants addicted to what we call the inhuman practice. In some cases the slavers are so degraded as to be utterly helpless and entirely dependent for everything on their so-called slaves, but really their mastei bee cannot even move without being carri hers again, which probably have only recently begun the ing prac- tice, are not so erenarate, and really them- selves work as well as thelr slaves. Among ants, a8 among men, there would seem to be different stages of civiltzation; ‘there seem to be three principal types, offering a curious anal- ogy to the three. ih os the hunting, pas- toral, and agricultural stages—in the history of human development.” So the same community there seem to be great differences of social morality; among ants, as among’ men, there are priests, Le’ and Samaritans, though it must be said tl ants are far more attentive to the sick and wounded than bees, who suffer from Sir J tious.
