V Z. J.9 abilTlBlonB of thsse classes are
deBorlbed by a Russian writer, whose nam de
plumt is Bobfido-Ferrotl. Thia able writer
dlTides the Beipopoftsl into at least thirty
even distinot Beuta, and one of the principal
divialona is that of the Kapitonea.
v THE KAF1TONB8.
The Kapi tones, bo oallod after the monk
Kapiton, lire only on bread, fruit, vegeta
blee, and wild berries, and are renowned
throughout Russia for the austerity of their
lives and the severity ef their voluntary pri
vations. They consider suiolde as the most
meritorious aotion that a true believer can
commit. At their holiest oeremonies a young
girl, dressed in the brightest colors, is oon
oealed in the cellar of the house in which the
meeting is held, and as Boon as all is ready
and the faithful are assembled, she oomes out
of her htdiog place, and enters into the cham
ber Bet apart as a sanctuary, clothed in a white
eheet and holdiDg a basket of raisins on her
hesd. bhe then utters a kind of invocation,
or rather pronounces a blessing three times,
and distributes a raisin to each individual
preBtnt, who, looking npon it as a viatloum
that will insure salvation, have in numerous
instances been known to kill themselves im
mediately npon leaving the room.
ANTICHRIST.
Next oome the Siberian Cespopoftai, who
maintain that Antichrist has already come,
and reigns over the Russian Church. These
also recommend suicide by fire, and Soh6do
Ferroti relates how seventeen hundred of
the sect, including men, women, and children,
together with their leader, a priest named
Domitian, shut themselves np in wooden
huts, around whioh dry wood steeped in pitch
' bad been heped np, Bet fire to the whole mass,
and perished miserably in the flames. How
ever, the date and place of this frightful holo
canst are not given.
The Fomoraenie (i. ., dwellers on the 861
coast) originated in the country between
Lakes Onega and Vyg, and on the desolate
shore of the White Sea. They believe that
though Antichrist reigns on earth, Jesus
Christ will soon oome again; indeed, the pre
cise day of his second appearing has been
several times announced by their preaohers,
whereupon the members of the seot dig out
graves in the earth and lie in them awaiting
the blast of the last trumpet, and though con
tinually deceived are continually credulous.
They do not refuse to pray for the sovereign
as Czar, but rejeot the title of Imperator, whioh
they say is an attiibute of Antichrist. They
also are ready at any moment to pass through
the "iuimaoalate baptism of fire."
THE THEODOSIANS.
The Tbeodosians form one of the wealthiest
and moat numerous of all the subdivisions.
Their founder established a oolony In Poland,
but, driven thence, contrived to plant new as
sociations In Yaroslawl, Riga, Mosoow, Nijhnl,
Toula, Saratoff, Kazan, and elsewhere; and in
1771, Kaveline, one of their number, founded
in the environs of Moscow the Freobrajensky
Kladbishtohe (or, Transfiguration Cemetery),
which in a short time frecame the central
point- and metropolis of all the Bazpopoftsi.
Kaveline ruled over this establishment thirty
eight years, and when he died left behind him
a rich and powerful settlement, oomposed of
more than fifteen hundred persons, npon
whom were dependent upwards of ten thou
sand disoiples living in and around the anolent
capital. The wide spread renown of the
Influence, wealth, and strict discipline of this
monastery speedily caused all other commu
nities of the same persuasion to regard it as
their centre: thence they procured their
teachers, and thither every three years they
Bent deputies to debate and determine ques-
- tions of oommon interest. The tenets of this
Beot do not greatly differ from those of the
Fomoraenie with this trifling ezoeption,
however, that the former hold that provisions
pnrohased at a public market must be purifled
before use. A hundred poklons, '. ., rever
ences acoompanied by the sign of the cross,
are Bsfiloient to effect this objeot, and then
the grace of God descends npon the meat
through holes made purposely in the lid of
the cooking-pan.
THE "BUBKEES" AND " WANDERERS."
The Filipoftsi take their name from Philip,
a fanatioal monk, who, with thirty-eight of
hiB adherents, burnt Himself alive in presence
of the Imperial commissioners sent to visit and
report npon the seot. Similar examples of
suicide are so common amongst them that the
people call them tojigatdi, or burners. The
wanderers (stranniki) pretend that Antichrist is
Incarnate in the person of the Emperors of
Russia, and therefore obedienoe to the seoular
power is clearly the mark of the beast. To
escape perdition one mast resist the Church,
the Czar, and all authority emanating from
him. As this opposition cannot be carried on
openly, the only oourse that remains to the
faithful is to flee before the servants of Anti
christ, to break all family ties, uproot all re
lationship with Booiety, and roam about in
the lonely depths of the forests and deserts.
The Siraunoprimtal (hospitable) are a kind
of eomplement of the above sect, and have to
pass through a noviciate. Their duty is to
receive the wanderers, hide them from the
Dolioe. skelter and feed them, for which pur
pose every oottage is provided with a secret
nndergronnd chamber, discoverable only to
the initiated, bo that the homeless pilgrim
may enter, rest, and depart unobserved even
bv the owner. Any member of these seots
taken suddenly ill has himself transported, if
vossible. Into a field or wood, in order that be
may die en fuite, and not under a roof. If the
neophyte possesses a passport, , baptismal
register, written charaoter, or certificate, or
any paptr serving to establish his identity, he
must destroy it, and he himself ba rebaptized
aooordinir to the ritual of the Beot. Marritge
Is Btriotly forbidden, and looked upon as an
s nnpardonable ,Bin, but chit-fly, no doubt, be
cause thev would fain differ from the est.
bliahed laws and oastoms of the country. The
number of this fleet is very considerable.

THE POPOFc'TCBRNA.
The opposite division of flchiamatios Is
known as the Popo'atohena. These possess
fVveral distinct communities, but their antag
onism is not bo clearly marked as that sub
sisting between the brotherhoods of the Bsz
popotbtchena, and their associations tend
lather to union than to an infinity of petty
subdivisions. Their most aaoient oolony is
that of KerBhena, so called from the name of
one. of the ailluents of the Volga, where an es
tablishment waa fou luted by the dissenters,
who were forced to flee before the persecution
of the council of 1(JU. They were the first to
depart from the creed of the mother Cauroh,
by admitting a trinity oomposed of three hea
venly powers, amongst whom Jesus Christ,
horn they regarded as a fourth divinity, was
not inoluded. But in 1(199 this heresy was
condemned by the Kersheng community
itself, and the dissidents returned to the ori
ginal belief, and henceforward must be con
sidered to be "ancient believers" in the same
sense as those of Vetka. About this period a
similar Beot was founded by a monk named
Job, in the neighborhood of Tamboff, whioh
spread to the Caucasus, tha banks of the
Kuban, the Caspian and Azof! Seas, the Oaral,
the Terek, end the Don.
The Vetka oolony first came Into being In
1GG7. A great body of Bohismatios, flying
from the rigorous treatment ..experienced in
their own country, oroBsed over the frontier
into Poland, and there obtained permission
to establish themselves, and build villages on
the little islet of Vetka, formed by affluents
of the Dnieper, in the government of Mobile!!.
They ereoted a church; and Boon their num
bers iv creased to forty thousand, and the Isle
of Vetka became a kind of mother city for all
the scattered dependencies.
A Russian correspondent of the London
lcrald, who has gathered these facts, says:
"M. Sch6do-Ferroti, to whose interesting
works I am indebted for most of these details,
puts the number of dissenters of all kinds in
Russia at about nine millions."
An English astronomer has discovered
that the temperature of the moon varies alter

frozen mercury.

impesing $110 fine, or one year's imprison
