STRUTOR CAfKICKS OF THE FEHAUSMT
“NihiIists” is the name of s sew sect
iorntad among the women of St, Peters
burg. They have made their appearance
hi Paris at least so says a correspondent
who relates the followiug:
“The Tt Deum for the C*ar, snog is the
Kosewa church in the Faubourgh du
Boule, was attended by the elitt of Russian
society, ell in foil drees, and as magnificent
ly adorned with jewels os for a representa
tion at eourt. The blase of diamonds was
something marreUous, and created great
curiosity among some of the French spec
tators gathered there. Rat in spite of the
tremendous quantity of loyalty and dia
monds displayed, none of the fair wearers
attracted the same attention as that drawn
toward two modest looking young women
who stood In the penumbra thrown by the
projecting angle of the wall beneath the
archway »t the entrance of the chapel.
“These two fair and beautiful strangers
became the cynosure of all eyes, the ‘lion
ass’ of the assembly, the ‘distraction’ which
caused the wivertersal g*» to wander from
the priest to the altar and the wondrous
singers of the choir. Their attitude, never
theless, was humbled and resented; they
seemed to avoid, rather than seek observa
tion. Their custom was singular enough,
however, to attraot all the scrutiny they
met with; foe two fob heads cropped dote,
their attires sort of compromise between
the coat and trowsers of the male sex, with
foe most convenient portions of female
costume. A jacket descending low over
the hips, and dosed over foe bosom by n
row of huge buttons, • short, very Cul*
pettioont of foe seme, and beneath, just
apparent above foe high hoots of black,
aiming leather, foil isexpreMuhias, not <
gathered is, hat dotting just above tbs
knss, and displaying shout an inch of the
snow whits stocking, formed their novel
iq| siogtU#? attire. Eaoli fadkl In bar
hands low fiat hat, with a large brim,
adorned with a cord and tassel, it was
soon whispered through foe ebapel that
these young ladies were foe first epecimena
beheld in Western Europe of foe new sect
formed at St. Petersburg among the
Women there, and whkdt has increased to
•uoh an alarming degree that foe Gover-
Jtseet la beginning to take umbrage. The
Mies remain umnmarried; they assume the
cares and reepooilbffiUM of the m»le sex;
work at ail kinds of manual labor; go to
the bourse; transact every sort of mercan
tile business, according to the state of life
la which they have been placed by Provi
dence. The new sect is called that of foe
‘Nihiliata.’ *
Maximilian.—A correspondent of foe
New York Tribune, writing from the City
of Mexico, says:
“The Emperor, a man tbirty-eewn year*
.Old, it one of foe largest men in tho city;
tall, straight, and well proportioned, as
Expert in all manly exercises especially aa
a horseman and swordsman; and possessed
jot immense physical strength, which, when
he ohoosee to exercise it, has excited foe
admiration of his staff and the French
Zouave officers, nearly all of whom have
hem raised from foe ranks for signal acts
of daring, in which bravery and personal
.endurance were required. His fsoo is
broad, refined in its expression, and beam
iog with good humor; and above all,
there is a look of genuine benevolence and
kindness which seldom fails to win those
with .whom he comes in contact. The
large blue eyes me full of intelligence,
.while the high, expansive forehead indi
cate* a great brain and correct judgment.
He is seldom mistaken in his estimate of
men, whose qbaraeter be generally pen
etrates at the .first interview. While Gov
ernor of foombardy several yean ago,
tnuoh as foe Italians detest foe Austrian
rale, their public disturbance oould always
he quelled by the presence of Maximillian
who was looked upon as an euoeption to
foe House of Hapsbuvg. He is foe
author of a number of eoientifio works
which have been printed in three or four
languages, and is regarded as among the
mosi aocotnpliahed and enlightened of foe
German princes."
Hoar to Mama Hoasx Gaow.—
That’i a tarnation tall horse,’ said JUid
law. ‘Ye* i guess you can’t account for it,’
mpliad Jonathan. ‘No, how,’ said Laid
kw. ‘He belongs to Huumins, foe livery
man.* replied Jonathan, ‘and his tallness
.comm through his having beau regularly

A MONBTBB XsTK*?mi*A
Away up in foe Sierra Nevada Moun
tains, to high in sir that water and sir
lose their respective gravity, end sticks of
wood refuse to float on its surface, it a
beautiful sheet of water, called Lake Ta
hoe, by 1,600 feet foe highest body of
water on earth, ever navigated by a steam
boat. Surrounded by mighty peaks, whose
summits are clothed in mantles of eternal
snow, while they look down on valleys
where eternal summer reigns, this lovely
lake teems beyond the reach of civilisa
tion, and consecrated to solitude forever.
But science has already seised upon it
as a fit subject for another tt her triumphs,
and a daring engineer, CoL A. H. Voo
Schmidt, of this city, has determined to
turn its vast volume of water to a practi
cal use. He has ineorporatsd a company
with a vast capital, and will actually com*
mence the work next month of tunneling
the mountains to draw its pure, waters to
foe California side. The waters are to be
turned into foe channel of a stream and
carried over foe hills which skirt the val
ley of the Sacramento, thence through
canals among foe Placer mines, down to
the level of foe capital city; thence across
foe valley towarde Coast Range, and ulti
mately to San Francisco.
This enterprise would, if carried out,
supply • dozen interior towns with deli
cious water, of a purity unknown else
where. provide foe miners with water to
cany on their work during dry seasons,
irrigate thousands of acres of now unpro
ductive land, making U to blossom as foe
rose, and lastly, supply, for all time to
come, the teeming millions who will in
habit San Francisco.
It will take a life-time to carry out the
plan in alt it* details, hut Yon Schmidt,
who engineered to completion the Spring
Valley Water Works, by which San Frhn
cisco is supplied with wa'er from a dis
tance of forty miles, is confident of its fea
sibility. The route by which foe water
would ieach Sen Francisco is nearly 200
mile* long; but nevertheless Von Schmidt
it thoroughly in earnest, and as I said, pro
poses to commence work next month. To
any man who has sealed the dixxy heights
of the Sierra, and seen foe tremendous
obstacles to be overcome, looks
like foe fresh of ff dkgfdered imagination,
but fits cfclfe may be atrtmay. torn who
will live to see it e' fact acpqmpKshed.—

There is no room whatever here for in

poor Irishmen pitted in bettle against
British troops. Putting aside Ml questions
of iu morality, it Is placing Irishmen iu a
position to false, in a material point of
view, thet, with ell their known gallantry
in bettle, they have not even a chance of
winning. To the extent that this Fenian
ism can be taken as representing Irishmen,
tt is to put them in a trap, where foe vic
tory is a sure thing for their opponenU.
We know how cruel it is, sometimes, to
human feelings to have foe truth told, but
it is foe part of a friend, in a matter like
this, to tell HI This ts far away from be
