W. Curtis Lee, owing to his re- cent illness, was unable to participate in to- dav's ceremonics, but nis brothers, General W. H. B, popularly known as “Rooney” Leoe and Captain Robert E. Lee, were there. A few minutes before 11 o'clock the proces- sion began to move, At the head of the line came the chief marshal of the day, General ‘Wade Hampton, riding by the side of Gover- nor Fitz Hugh Lee, followed by the gover- nor's staff and assistant marshals, Next came the confederate veteran camps of Vir- ginin, the veterans of Maryland in line, and the volnnteer infantry of Virginia, the North Carolina_artillery and then all the various civic societies, The whole made such a dis- lay as was never before seen in Richmoud. Dense crowds packed the sidewalks along the route. About the time the head of tho procession reached the monumont grounds o drizaling shower, which commenced this morning, again set in and continued so that the programme was cut short. The corner- stone was laid with the impressive ceremonies of the Masonio order. Notwithstanding the disagreeable weather and muddy condition of the grounds and vieinity, the vast field was almost covered with people, the crowd being estimated at from 15,000 to 20,000, Among the ex-confederates present who were frequently greeted with cheers and ap- plause as they were recognized by the crowd were Generals Wade Hampton, Joseph E. Johnston, Jubal A. Early, Daniel' Ruggles, J. D. Imboden, Bradley . Johnson, William McComb, R. L. Page, George H. Steward, L. L. Lomax, Robert Ransom, Mat Ransom, Epps Hunton, C. M. Wilcox, W. D.

The hall of the house of delegates was packed to-night, many being unable to obtain admission. Governor Lee called the gather- ing to order and introduced General Jubal Early to preside. General Early was greeted with thunderous applause. He spoke of the formation of the monument association, paid an eloquent tribute to the ex-president of the confederacy and regretted his absence on this occasion. He then introduced General Gordon -~ McCabe, who paid a glowing tribute to the late Captain James Barron Hope, the gifted author of the poem which he then read. After this Colonel Charles Marshall, military secretary of General Lee, delivered the oration of the day. At the conclusion of Colonel Marshall's oration, General Wade Hampton made u few extem- porary remarks, in the course of which he said that he regarded Lee us even a greater man than Washington. pracss bk A Our Indinn Schools. WAsHINGTO, Oct. 27.—From the annual veport of John B. Riley, superintendent of Indian schools, to the sceretary of the in- terior, it appears that the aggregate expen- diture by the government for the education of Indian children during the year was 31,005,379, of which §710,5833 was expended on account of the government boarding schools and $308,200 for the support and education of pupils at contract bosrding schools, most of which arc under the control of religious de- nominations. The whole number of Indian children between the ages of six and sixteen years is . Of this number 14,932, or about per cent, at- o r, A n of text be teaching of English only The report says too much laid upon the importance of pre teachers, and to this end suggzests that a nor- mal school department be cstablished at the home of Lwge schools. The superintendent makes the following reeommendations: That an industrial boarding school be established near the Missour went to the Sioux reservation s be provided for the tribes in N that a commissian be appointed empowered to make a thorons examination of the whole subject of indian education, paring native wrory's Wealth. N —Governor Semple, of Washington territory, in his annual re- port to the secretary of the interior, esti- mates the population of the territory at 148,669, au increase of over 16,000 in the last two years. The taxable property of the ter- ritory, exclusive of railroad property, is given at £50,653,8306, an increase of nearly $200,000 over last year. Settlement on public lands, of which nearly 17,000,000 acres re- main unsurveyed, has been retarded by that fact, by the uncertainty of Northern Pacific titles, by extensive Indian reservations, etc. The report speaks at length of the resources and capabilities of the territory in the way of crops, stock raising, mineral and lumber production, ete., as of great variety and im- nce. Labor is hardly equal to the de- mand. The salmon fisheries yiclded $2,124,000 during the year. Army Orders.

New York Tribune:’ The late Frank W. Pettygrove was the founder of Port- land, Oregon. When he was running a general merchandise store at Oregon City in 1843 he received from John P. Overton, a pioneer, an offer to sell him a tract of 640 acres of wild land for $50 worth of goods from the store. Mr. Pettygrove went down the river in an Indian canoe, found that the land bor- dered on deep water, and then, in con- junction wilL his partner, General A. . Lovejoy, m-m;]nlml the offer. The storekeepers decided to start a city on their land. Pettygrove was a Maine man and wanted to call it Portland, joy came from Massachusetts and lled Boston. They sub- mitted their rivalry to the tossing of a cent, and Pettygrove won. - And there is the city of Portland to-day, its central portion.on thyt GiU-ucré Lract, lIflE PEOPLE OF RUSSIA, Their Habits and Customs—The Ozar's Tyranny. DESPOTIC GOVERNMENT. The Royal Family—The Censor of tho Press—The Church of Russia— An American's Views on Russian Affairs, THE ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 17.—[Cor- respondence of tho Brr.]—To under- stand Russia, her imperialism and her institutions, and especially to appreci- ate the tyranny here, and to know why such violent efforts are made to destroy the czar and his despotic government, the people must first be understood. The people more than the country make a republic, & kingdom or an empire what it is. Americans, more than any other race, oppose violence as means of reform. The franchise of the people works re- formation, together with the customs which bring about changes in office. But in a country where there is no such thing as the ballot, and corruption, un- fitness and natural circumstances do not chango official make-ups, the people are driven to other means than political to work reforms. Here the throne is the inheritance of a single family, and officers of the empire are never punished for crimes against the people. A Russian may with im- punity and in cold blood murder a whole amily, if it has no connection with the throne, enter a plea of guilty and be sure, under no condition, that his act will cost him his life. He will go to rison, probably exile in Siberia, for & lew years. But if he is found guilty of utterances againsta member of the royal fumil.\{] or in opposition to the imperial rule, he is taken from his home, shop, store or office, and never more is heard of. His life pays the penalty. ad read much in romancing litera- ture about the ‘“‘mysterious disappear- ances” of people in Russia who wrote or spoke against the high-handed imperi- ousnessof the czar, but came to St. Peters- burg ready to discredit it all. I believed it might have been true one day, but that it could not be now. In the face of danger one is less appreciative of it; yot in the capital of Russia I am ready to confirm the most that I have heard of the dungeons, the guillotine and Siberia. TIIE CONDITION OF AFFAIRS in this country can be compassed when it is known that there are no free schools and none of a private nature free from the personal supervision of the czar’s censor. Not a line of printed matter comes into the territory that is not utinized by the censor of the press, not a telegram sent in or out without the inspection, and nothing will be suffered in any form, by tongue or ink, which takes exception to any feature of the government or suggests any form of government. To violate the law is to court deuth. And one does not have to persist in violating this law L5 meet with swift punishment. Ouce is sufficient, For a mild form of indis on, exile in Siberia or a life sentence in the dungeons is prescribed. 1f the offense is positive the offender goes to the islan into the garrison, and is soon beyond the call of mortal subjects. His remains are thrown into the stink pit. Forty-two miles up the river Neva from St. Petersburg is a fortress where enough blood has been shed, in expira- tion of alleged crimes againstthe em- pire, to float a British man-of-war. It 1s & long, quaint old structure, maae of stone, and the Neva, though a narrow river, broadens just enough at that point to give it Com{;letc protection against land approach. It should oc- cupy a place in the background of Dante’s Inferno. On the parapets or walls overlooking the water are always a number of sentinels, who are in- structed to shoot down without cere- mony any person who attempts to land. Only officers with fresh victims arve per- mitted to approach the fortress, and many are the stories about innocent strangers, fishing or rowing, who have been murdered in their efforts to visit the place. Here those who are condemned to death or lifo sentence are brought, and it is believed that the infernal tortures of the inquisition are now inxel'gctuul practice within these walls. At differ- ent periods members of the royal family —like the son of Peter the Great—have been cast into this dungeon to die,under suspicion of disloyalty to the Czar. In natural location it remindsoneof Black- well’s island, near New York, but the latter prison is A PALACE IN COMPARISON. Not only does the emperor and censor punish persons who speak or write against the royal family, but friends of the family, When Katlkoff, the editor of the Moscow Gazette, died a fow weeks ago, the foreign press commented copi- ously upon the influence he wielded in the rule of Russia, The English pross did not ozerlook the fact that Katkoft had not wielded his power with the Czar in relieving Russia of her burdens, Katkoft was the most influential man in the empire, and not only were all the articles in foreign newspapers and mag- azinss on the death destroyed, but in a number of instances the publications were blacklisted. The censor of the press,when he wishes 10 simply destroy a certain article in a newspaper or magaziue, generally rolls a voller of black ink over it, leaving a dense spot, through which not a word can be discerned. The instrument is like the ink-roller of a printing press. Jf the article in a magazine covers more than a page the pages are simply torn out and cast into the waste basket. The office of the censor of the press in a city like St. Petersburg is something like that of the city editor for a large American newspaper. The corps of assistants open the mails, run through tbe matter and hand the questionable stuff to the censor, who decides it it should be detained, de- stroyed or passed. This ' pro- cess makes the delivery ef all mail matters except letters very slow. The newspapers in Russia are of very little importance on account of the cunsorshir. Every article, even to a local paragraph, dicussing Russian affairs or referring divectly or remotely to the emperor or his family, the army, navy or any of- ficial, although it may slmf:ly say that so-and-so is going to such and such s on a visit, must be referred to Editors tell me that their articles are long DELAYED BY THE CENSOR, even though he pusses favorably upon them, that it is not worth while to at- tempt to use political matter or news relating to any one or anything con- nected with the empire. It is notin- frequent that articles are referred to the czar, and the author {s summoned to appear before his excellency und ex- plain the oh'j'cct of publication. Thus the restrainf of writers cannot be ap- preciated by any except those who ve had the experience. There {s a lawer grade of intelligence ‘in the common people :in "Russid than was evor found among the blacks of - Amerioa during slavery. The Amori- ican negro had, from %hu vory begin- ning, “horse sense,” a cunning which gave him reason. There is nothing in the minds of the mass of Russinns ox- cept that which is carried by the senses of sight and hearing. They do not reason. In St. Petersburg there are thousands of droxky (curring\\z drivers, and [ am told that not one in twenty can read the signs along the streets, and not two in fivo hundred can read a k or newspaper. And yet these men have had, for Russia, extraordinary op= portunities. What, then, must bo the condition of the people in the coun- try—those who have not had contact with the world? The proportion of these ignorant peo- ple to the intelligent and educated is about 60 per cent. Of the 100,000,000 population in Russia about 60,000,000 were either among the serfs freed by Alexander II. a_quarter of a century ago or are the offspring of those white slaves. They do not know what a school is and have been taught more abject manners than our black folks. I have never encountered 8o much obse- quiousness anywhero. Not only do the working people rpetrate upon the visitor all sorts of salaams, but mer- chants and n|zle in the upper classes have the infection and bow and blink a white freeman must blush. is mno wonder that the serfs have mnot improved: they have not the power to lift themseclves up, but there is no excuse for the super- stitions and ignorance among the peo- ple in commerce, ete. Although the proclamation of the lately assassinated czar, the father of the present czar, freed the slaves, it gave them nothing more than liberty, Up to that time the Yet\snnm were not allowed to leave the arms, which were owned by the no- bility. They were slaves in this sense, having located on farms they must al- ways be farmers. That was a law es- tablished for the landlords as long ago as history runs in the mind of man here The emancipation gave the slaves free: om, but nothing more, nnd in their help'lessucss they remain where they were found; they are serfs, the peasan- . try, the class THE PRESENT CZAR is trying to court. But in his en- deavors to please the peasantry and nobility he is not.making a glowing suc- cess. I expected to find the Russians a fierce Iooking people. They are the very opposite. Fierceness must be ac- companied by a degree of mental sub- stance. The average Russian one meets on the streets or in the country is of medium size. He is of light yellow tan color, from exposure to weather and ex- istence upon coarse food. Generally he wears a full beard, and four times out of five it is light in colorand very filthy, His hair is about two inches thick, is cut square around his head, extending about one-third up his neck, as if the work was done with a meat ax ora cular saw, and besides being combed down in front is slightly parted in the middle, as though he were not sure whether he is a male or female. He in- variably wears high u,prm boots, und his pantaloons are tucked into the boot tops. The boot tops have series of finely artistic wrinkles mid- way, and are generally well oiled. This is the only tasteful indication in the dress. The coat of a p easant is a cross between a robe, a frock and a blouse. 1t comes almost to the ees, is single- breasted, and has a wide belt. If the subject is a driver he wears a robe and belf, and the garment is of blue cloth and comes to the ground. The head- wear isa brond-topped cap with low crown, The Russian is as filthy as heis ignor- ant and unsightly. Only three or four of the principal hotels have any pre- parations for bathing, and these are ex- tremely meagre. The Russian bath in Russia is a myth. I paid three roubles for a place to take a very ordinary bath in the principal hotel to-day. ~ Not one of the palaces in five have baths, and as the waters of the Neva are too cold for swimming baths the people, as a mass, shed their accumulated filth like fish scales. And since dried fish, oil and cured vegetables form the staple diet for the majority of the people, and the Neva, which furnishes the water supply, can be detected miles distant by the nos- trils, it is only the cold atmosphere that prevents long mortuary lists. Later I shall write in extenso of the superstitions of Russians, for they are more extensive and ridiculous than those found in any other country. It was probably & wise step when the Czar assumed control of the church and es- tablished in his cabinet a church minis- ter, for the prating one sees and hears even now_about_false prophets would undoubtedly lead the masses to desperat thingsin the name of the church. THE CHURCH OF RUSSIA is the Greek Catholic, and be it said to the credit of Alexander IIL., it is well controlled. But the people are extrem- ists, and commit many sins under the shield of the church. attention was attracted, when I saw a shrine at every forty paces,to the seals on the collection or contribution boxes. None of these can be opened without breaking a seal. This, I am told, is arranged so as to traco the direction the money takes when deposited in the boxes. So many ofMicers of the church have keys that robberies within the church are com- mon. Robbery, however, is very com- mon in all Russia. Looking out on a street here one sees hundreds and hun- dreds of men, women and children walk- ingordriving with bared heads and muking crosses at every shrine. The drivers ave continually at it. Only the wicked gendarme deigns to pass without notice. The steps leading to the hun- dreds of churches are covered with peo- ple of all grades on their knees, making crosses and bumping their forcheads on the stones or pavements. Fealty to the church and oral demonstration of it seems to be the principal avocation, The candles at the shrines arve kept burning continually, at the cxpense of the empire, and almost every other store or shop has a lurge display of glit- tering brass and paint in the form of shrines. And yet, amid all this, there is more crime here and more ignorance than in any other civilized country. . HEATIH. Cattle Quara Removed. Saxta F'2, N.

CATARRH DESCRIBED. s Attending That Disease Leads to Consuniption. When catarrh hasxisted in the head and the upper part of the throat for any length of time ~the patient living in a district where peopla are subject to_ catarrhal affeotion—and the dis- case s been left uncured, the catarrh nvari ably, sometimes slowly, extends down the wind- pipe and into the bronchial tubes, which tubea convey the afr into t ‘parts of the lungs. The tubes b affected from the swelling und the mu; ising from catarrh, and, in some instan ome f)mg ed up, s0 that the air cannot get 1 as freely as it should, Shortness of breath follows, and the patient breathes with labor and difficulty. In either case there §s a sound of erackliy and wheezing inside the chest. At this stage of the disease the breathing is usunlly more rapid than when in health. The patient has also hot dashes over his body. "he pain which accompanies this condition {3 of a dull character, feit in the chest, behind the Dbreast bone, or under the shoulder blade. The pain may come and go—last u few days and then be absent for several others, The cough that ocours in the irst stages of bronehial ca- tarrh I8 dry, comes on at intervals, hacking in character and {8 nsually most troublesome in the morning on rising, or going to bed at night, Ana Tt may be i the frst evidence of tho disease extending into the lungs. Kometimes there aro fits of coughing induced by the tough mucus violent as to cuuse vom- ifing. Later on the mucus that {5 raised is found to contain smull particles of yellow mat- ter, which indiontes the small tubes n the, lugs wre now affected. With this there are oiten streaks of blood mixed with the mucus, Ti some cases the patient becomes very paie, has fever, and expectorates before any” cough appears. i\ Some cases small masses of cheesy sub- stance are spit up, which, when pressod bo- fween the fingers, ‘emit a’ bad odor. In other cases, particles of & hard, chalky nature are spit up. The raising of cheesy or chalky lumps in- aléate serfous mischief at work in tho lungs, In some cases catarrh will extend info’the Iungs in & few weeks; in other cases it may be months, and even_years, before the disease ut- ticks the Tungs sufticiently to cause serious tne t nee with the gencral health, When the disonse has developed to such a point the pa- tent 13 sid to have catarrhal consumption. With bronchial ¢atarch there is more or less fever which differs with the different parts of the day—slight in the moruing, higher in the afternoon and evening. SNEEZING CATARRH.
