From all authentic accounts relating to the internal govern ment of Russia, the wretchedness of the people has, even in these advanced days, scarcely a parallel in history. The paternal rule of the CEAR is practically an iron-shod tyranny which grinds the people relentlessly to the dust, leaving them no alternative but slavery or conspiracy. And they have made their selection, and Nihilism and dynamite are potent factors throughout the vast dominions of the Czar and form
become so insupportable that six of them resolved to starve themselves to death. For a whole week they refused to eat, and when the Governor-General ordered them to be fed by injection such scenes ensued as obliged the prison authorities to aban- don the idea. To seduce them back to life officlalism made them certain promises, as, for instance, to allow them walking exercise, and to take the sick out of irons. None of these promises were kept, and for five long years the survivors were left to the mercy of such a jaller as has been des cribed,"

A GLARING instance of the absurdity of the mouldy old Act of King Charles in reference to Sunday trading was, remarks a home paper, afforded at the Thames Police-court the other moned for baking and selling a loaf of bread on Sunday contrary to law. The evidence showed that a rival tradesman had sent a journeyman to the defendant's shop to purchase à Tour of bread, and then took out a summons against him for breaking the law. For the defence however, it was shown that the bread was baked on the preceding Saturday, and the charge was dismissed. It is surely quite time that the ridica lous law against Sunday trading was either abolished or amended. People have a little more wisdom, and a little less superstition in their con-
