G THE DAlLf EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1870, A RUSSIAN LEAH. Fnm Iht rail Hall Uaicttt. The current number of the Vyertnik Riropui contains a 6hry by M. Turacuieft which Is as remarkable for the iniiirht it dives into some of the stranger phafes of Russian life aj for the prcat artistic nicilt which it poKPec3. There it no better Rulde for any one who wishes to be come acquainted with tho real ch;raetrlU'M if Rncsian society than is afforded by M. Tu.-ne-DieHs writings. HU portraits are like photo graphs, or rather like t-kilful drawings after pho tographs, jn?t as his descriptions of scenery are so faithful that, to anv one who U Lv..ii!Ur with the districts to which they refer, they seem, poetic as thj' are, to bo careful studies of actu ally cxlstiuic scenes. In a'l probability the persons of the terrible domestic dr.4-.n i which ho has now brought before the eyes of hi readers once played their parts, at least to eo:no extent, In real life. And yet their behavior, In some respects, seems to an English reader almo-t in credible;' for real Hie iu Russia h is, or at least used to have, somo features which ni!it appear at firstslght unreal In the extreme to spectators who look on from the outside only. We knov what strange ideas spring up, how strongly pre judices become continued, eveu at home, In per sons who live In remote districts apart, from the healthy friction of society and tho useful re straint of public opinion. But we can have but little idea of the extent to which such Ideu and prt judices may have become- developed In the remote districts of eo vast and stagnant a country as Russia at a time when a social sys tem prevailed under which a passionate or over bearing man found himself free, so far as the ma jority of the persons who surrounded him were concerned, from most of the restraints on the will and the passions to which we are accus tomed to trut for safety. In the case of the story now before us, its general outline may easily be conjectured from the title it bears. The self-sacrifice of a father, whether he be a King Lear or a Pere Ooriot, and the ingratitude of his children, are themes upon which many a domestic tragedy has already been constructed. But the particular form In which the Russiau Lear's reeentinent manifests itself and the posi tion which is finallv occupied by the Regan of the story one in which no Cordelia figures are so extraordinary that no amount of fami liarity with the incidents to which Eughsh family quarrels may have given rise can assist the reader in predicting them. The Slavonic counterpart of the ill-starred King of Britain is the owner of a property In the interior of Russia. Martin Petrovieh Kaarlof is a man of huge proportions aud of immense bodily strength. In appearance he is more like a bear than a man, bulky, clumsy, prompt to anger, and terrible when aroused to wrath, lie never boasts of his thews and sinews, but ho is beyond measure proud of his wisdom and his fcUength of will, and his love of independence amounts to a passion. Of one power alone he stands in dread: this giant with a hero's heart is afraid of death. At times he is liable to attacks of melancholy, and then he shuts him self up iu his room, and gazes at a picture of which ho has a high opinion, representing a lighted candle which the winds human headi with puffed-out cheeks strive to blow out, with an inscription uudcr it, "tiucu is tho life of man!" When he is not in a som bre lit, ho turns tho picture to the wall; but when gloomy feelings invade him, he turns it back again, bhakiug his head with aa air of conviction over it, and deriving soma eou foI ation from listening to his favorite servant, who reads aloud to him iu a strauge sing-song from the only book he has in the house, a peri odical called 'Diligence in Repose," such phrases as, "But the man who Is a prey to his punt-ions deduces from that solitary position w hich he occupies among created things com pletely different conclusions," etc. To religion, however, even iu his melancholy moods, he sel dom turns, excusing himself for appearing very rarely in church by saying that he is afraid a man of Ida size would inconvenience the other wi i shippers. Srich is the man who suddenly takes it into his head to disembarrass himself of tho cares which attach to property by dividing all that he has between his two daughters. lie has received a warning, ho says, that death is at hand. While he lay asleep he dreamed that a black colt bounded into his room and fell down upon him, crushing his left side beneath its weight; and when be awoke he found that side numb, and he felt sure that in the form of that black colt ho had seen his own approaching death. 80 ho calls his Iriends and neighbors together to wit nets the transfer of his property to his daugh ters, made with all due formality in the presence of the legal functionaries of the district. The transfer scene is a very strange one, and is admirably described. Kharlof occupies the chief place, 'conspicuous by his colossal form, arrayed iu his 1S12 uniform, with a medal on his breast, and a sabre by his side. Near him are his two daughters: Anna, the elder, slightly built, with thick j-ellow hair, and small light blue eyes and thin lips; aud Evlampla, the younger, tall and largely framed, with masses of flaxen hair, and immense dark blue eyes, ex pressive of a somewhat wild, nutamcd nature. The elder sister is accompanied by her husband, a handsome, Jewish-looking young man, Slyot- Kine by name, wtiose characteristics are an in cessant thirst for gain aud a servile obedience to the commands of his father-in-law. Evlampia z is still unmarried. A deed of renunciation is read aloud by Slyot klne. By it Kharlof divides all his property between his two daughters, reserving to himself ' only the right of continuing to live iu the rooms actually occupied by him, and of receiving his "natural provision" and ten paper roubles (al out as many francs) a mouth for shoes and clothing. The last sentence of the act Kharlof reads himself "And this my parental will must he carried out by ray daughters, and kept intact as a command. For I, next to God, am their head, and to no one have I given, nor am I bound to give, any account. And if they carry out my will, then my parental blessing shall be upon them; bnt it they do not carry out my will, then my parental maledictiou shall be upon them, now and for ever, Amen!" At the end he lifts the paper above his head. Anna and her husband fell on their knees before him, and bend their fore heads to the ground. But Evlampla does not move till her father turns to her with a "Well, now, what are you going to do ?" Then she Hushes np, but makes her obeisance also to the ground. One of the magistrates then proceeds to read a formal deed that which had been read aloud having been a florid and informal composition of Kbarlof's and afterwards goes out on the balcony in front of the house and ex claims w hat has taken place to the peasants of the (omain, apostrophizing them in this style, "Listen, devils 1 understand, demons!'' On which "they all bowed together.as if at a word, of command, each of the 'devils and demons' holding his hat tight in both hands, and never taking his yes oil the window at which Kbar lof's figure appeared." Then a priest and a sub-deacon appear, dressed in threadbare vestments; the odors of incense arise from an old braes thurible; a service is performed, at the end of which the two daughters again kueel. before their father, and bead their foreheads to the ground; and finally all who are present sit down to breakfast, at which the magistrate pro poses first the health of the "fair proprietresses," and then that of their "eminently respectable and supremely generous" father. On hearing the word "geueroue,'' Islyotkiue jumps up and attempts to kiss his benefactor and father-in-law; but at this moment the brother of Kharlof's dead wife, who is present, aad who is, vexed at not havlnff had anything done for him by bis brother-in-law, takes it into his head to predict loudly that Kharlof will repent of Lis "genero sity" some day, when his daughters ' turn him, the servant of God, barebacked, out of the house, and into the tnow." An uncomfortable scene ensues. SJyotki'ie begins a reply, but is silenced by Kharlof with a "11 old your tongue, whelp!" Anna looks d.n.'-. vers, but Evlampla merely smiles, in the dis dainful way peculiar to her. Kharlof gets up to make a speech, but stops, aud hits the Uble such a thump that the whole room fchakes. Auua tries to pacify him, making loud protestations of love and obed'''icc, b-.it her s'.'r ?5m still aiJ cays nothing. Kharlof otters a lew au0'ry words J and disappears, thus blinking the festivities to a premature end. Time passes, and when KhtrlofU next peon he Is an altered man. All hU prido hs left him, his strength of will Is broken; he has In come an old man of whom no .'one takes any heed; who passes the greater part of his day in Cshicg, or pretending to fish, in a neighboring; pond. A friend who goes to look for him lla.ls him sitting on the bank fishing with a lluo which has no hook to It, and scarcely recog nizes the giant who mcd to bo so proud. of hn strength both of mind and body iu the broken, grey-bearded old man who crouches there, gazing on the water with lack-lustre eyes. Oa this occasion Kharlof will 6vy nothing about himsttlf, but a few days afterwards ho suddenly makes his appearance at tho houe of his chief friend, a lady whose llfo he had saved- some years before. The day on which he comes is one of wind and rain, Hnd when he reaches tho hoao ho ts wet through, and eo covered with mud from head to foot that he looks inoro like a bear than ever, aud a bear which lias fallen on evil days. It is some time before he can speak, bui when he is able to do so he tells a tale that is very sad. lie bad long bceu subjected to cruel Iper leeution. It seems, by his daughters and his son-in-law. They had taken away his favoi ite servant from him, sold tho horse on which ho had always been accustomed to ride, grudd htm his eating and driukiug. and kept b.tJK from him his .little monthly allowance of money. But he had endured all this patiently, not beiDg able to bear the Idea of confessing to the world how mistaken he had been. Bit at last his children have turned him out, he says have taken the room in which he has lived so long and sent his b j 1 upstairs intoanatic. And this insult has broken down his patience: so he has left the accursed dwell ing InVhlch the lngratcs live, and taken refugo under the roof of his old friend. She treats him with the greatest kindness, and he seems consoled and pacified for a time. But after a while he Is suddenly stnng to madness by the taunts of the brother of his dead wife, who had predicted that he would some day be turned out of his house, and who now exults in the fulfil ment of his prophecy. In a paroxysm of rairo he rushes away from the kindly refuge ho had sought, exclaiming that as his children have driven him from under their roof ho will leave them no roof to cover them a threat which is no mere figure of speech. The scene in which his wild proceedings arc described is a strange ouo indeed. Kharlof climbs to the top of the house that once was his, and applies all his enormous strength, now fully restored to him, to destroying the rool. From below a terrified crowd gaxed at the mad man, who is wreaking his vengeance on all that he can lay bauds on. The covering of the slightly built dwelling soon yields to his mighty tfiorts, and down come tumbling portions of a illmFy structure which bears but little likene?3 to a firm English roof. The peasants swarm into the yard, but none of them show any in clination to interfere with him, however much they are ordured or entreated to do so by the wretched Slyotkine, who rushes about In a state of frenzy, yellow with terror, brandishing a gun, with which he threatens to shoot his father-in-law. Anna ruus in and out of the house in a state of distrac tion; Evlampla leans liko a statue against a wall, never taking hor eyes off her father. By her 6ide stands an old bareheaded priest, supporting a large cross with both hands, and now and then in silent despair holding it forth towards Kharlof. At last Slyotkine levels his gun and is on tho point of shooting when Evlampia strikes up his arm. Then she turns to her father, calls to him that she and her sis ter have sinned, entreats him to pardon them, and to come down aud live with them again. But he, standing there on high, with bands all torn and bleeding, and blood streaming through the rents in his clothes, and his white hair aud beard tossed about by the wind, only cries that it is too late, and heaps abuse on his son-in-law down below, who is again preparing to fire at him, when suddenly a part of the" woodwork which Kharlof is pushing gives way, and ho falls headlong with it from the roof to the ground. In a few minutes he breathes his last. We pass on to the last two scenes in tuh domestic tragedy. Some years after Kharlof's death, the narrator of the story pays a visit to the house in which that victim of filial ingrati tude used to live, it is in perfect order, aud tho root an iron one is in thorough repair. Khar lof's elder daughter, now a widow, lives in it with her children. Her sister, Evlampia, had disappeared soon atter ner lather s death, tak ing with her merely a small store of money, and no news had ever been heard of her. Anna evidently leads a very happy life. Her health is excellent, her childreu are handsome and strong, her estate is in admirable order. An air of quiet and of substantial comfort pervades the whole house and its belongings, iter neigh bors, who, among themselves, make no secret of their belief that she poisoned her husband. show her unfeigned respect. For them she is a truly great woman, ono who, if she had been placed upon a throne, would have been Hemlramis or a Catherine the Second." Four rears later the narrator is out on shooting excursion in the neighborhood of St. Petersburg, and he passes a strange-looklug house, almost hidden behind a high and close paling, only its steep red roof being visible from the high road. This house, he is told by his companion, a man who is acquainted with every tVitntr that tr rcm rr a 1 ira inennna -v f t ti a hers of one of the wildest and inot fanatical of the Russian eeets, and in it dwells their head, the being whom they hold most sacred, their mystical "Mother of God." The house exer cises a strange influence upon him, he knows not why, and he often finds himself nearit when out 6hooting. On one occasion the gate opens as he passes by, ana a carriage comes out, drawn by a mighty horse and driven by strikingly handsome young mau in a merchant's dress. By his side sits a tall woman, erect as a dart, in whom the sportsman to his utter stupe faction recognizes Evlampia. Her face has grown longer and thinner, her complexion has become darker, aud she has wrinkled a little; but the principal change which has taken place in her is to be found in her expression, which has become one of unalloyed pride and self confidence. Her look is now that of a woman who lives surrounded not 60 much by worshippers as by slaves who has long forgotten any time at which her every wish was not Instantly accomplished. Her old ac quaintance calls her by her former name, but her companion lashes his hoie, the carriage darts away at full speed, and in a few minutes she is out of sij',ht. Nothing more is ever hoard of her, and the mystery is never cleared up as to how the became recognized as a "Mother of God," a sacred being from whom a Metilali is some day to spring. Such is a bare online of M. Turguenleff 's story. With what dramatic skill and grace of diction it is told may be easily imagined by all who are in any degree acquainted with his writings. A vouug man named Holcomb was recently arretted in Georgia for falsifying the census returns of Liberty county. As he was to be paid eo much per hundred, he thought he should make a good stroke of business by setting down the population at just double what it really is. George S. Coutant, of Ro;endale, in New York, who Lad been robbed of $1400 about fourteen years ago, while asleeD, was lately notified by an. anonymous letter that ho would find the amount In a paekago at the Kiogstou Express orlice. He went there on the following day and received it. It wan directed in such a way that it would be impossible to trace out the thief through H. The Detroit Post says: "Wooden water pipes were recent.lv. taken out iu Woodward avi Lue, laid there forty-three years ago. Tha wood is apj areutly as sound as ever, showing Lo tlns cf decay, even retaining the bark, and on cutting through it into the wood the timber was found as bright and as souud us ever. The ipeswere made of tamarack logs, about sixteen feet in length and eight or ten inches in diame ter; bore cf log, three inches in diameter. The pipes were disconnected from the distribution L-ij-te vil c tr au. TLey cre ij.',-;lici In clay at a drpth of lour or live feet-" CI1EM101L 1 by rnorEHSon albert . Leeds. In a recent number of the Revue dea Deux 2u 1 tit will be found an article by an etni ri i t French author, containing among a Lumber of other comparisons, all favorabla to Germany, one relating to the, laboratories of Prussia and of France. The writer earnestly calls the attention of his countrymen to tho great superiority of the German Universities respecting their facili ties for theoretical investigation and practi cal application in tho departments of Physic". nnd (Jlmmstry. He dwells especially upon the great Friedrich Wilhelin Laboratory pt UeiliD, recently coniploted at a cost of a mil lion and a half of francs, and of the similar laboratory at Bonn, which cost a half million of francs. I he former, undor the charge of the illustrious chemist Prof. Ilofmann, uioro resembles id its external appearance, in its lengthy corridors, frescoed halls, and spaoiom lecture room, some museum devoted to art, than the dingy accommodations which were long thought adequate to the want3 of chemists. The laboratory of the Ecolo das Mines im pressed me the ruost favorably of those which I saw in Paris. It is restricted, however, to metallurgical operations. Hut the laborato ries of tho JLcole Polytechnuiue, of the Jardin des Planter), the antiquated and dismal apart ments of the Lcolo (Jentralo, and even the newly-erected Rddition to the Sorbonne, are much inferior in the facilities offered to those of Berlin. And tho practical effect of this inferiority is manifest in the relative condi tion of the physical sciences in the two coun tries. A great French chemist begins a philo sophical treatise, recently published, with the declaration that "Chemistry is a French science." But the greater bulk and import ance of the contributions which have been and are being made to chemistry by German authors sufficiently disprove this arrogant as sumption. And, moreover, the fact that German, rather than French, is becoming the general language of science upon tho conti nent, is evidence of the most convincing kind. Not many years ago the proceedings of the Itoyal Academy at Berlin were pub lished in the latter language; now, this aud all other contributions from Prussia are in German. Of late years the importance of those studies has so deeply impressed the public mind in some portions of our own. country, that the course of collegiate and academic In struction haa been revolutionized. As, for ex ample, at Cambridge, where tho capacities of tho colloge laboratory are at present being en larged to such an extent as to accommodate eighty students with desks and all the para phernalia of manipulation. Their course is intended to combine tho practical with the philosophical in such a way as not only to enable the students to da but to think. They commence at once with manipulatory chemis try, using for the purpose tho elaborate trea tise of President Elliot and Prof. Storer. Then the students enter upon the study of the admirable Chemical 1'hiloaophy recently published by Prof. Cooke, which taxes thoir thinking powers quite as much, perhaps, as Hamilton's or Mill's Logic At the same time tbey attend a Beriea of chemical lectures, and finally enter upon a course of analysis. Like wise, a special laboratory is provided, where, during the last twelve years, a number of in vestigations have been made by young Ame rican cnemisis, wmcu are nigniy creaitaoie to our national scholarship, and have been re cognized ps such abroad. A similar institution is now being orga nized at Hoboken under the presidency of Professor Morton, and supported by the mu nificent bequest of nearly threo-quarters of a million of dollars, which was made by the late Mr. Stevens. The Btudent will find there several spacious laboratories for investiga tions in physics and chemistry. These will be provided with every appliance which the exactitude and intricacy of modern science demand; and the student who has mastered previously-acquired knowledge in these de partments may pass to the glorious work of solving new problems and exploring what is yet as land unknown. I do not wish heroin to detract from the ex cellence of tho instruction imparted in our own city at the University and in our Medi cal and Dental Colleges. Bo far as leoturing and text-books can give a knowledge of physi cal sciences these institutions do admirably, ana me courses 01 lectures delivered by their eminent professors are worthy of the highest praise. Neither do I desire to say anything which is not of the most favorable character with regard to the few colleges and private laboratories where facilities for a practical knowledge of qualitative and quanti tative anaylsisand of metallurgy are afforded. Hut I wished to draw attention to the fact that a city which once stood fore most in this country in point of scientific activity, and which is now perhaps the largest proaucer 01 cuemicai wares, nas at ine pre sent time no general laboratory at all ade quate to the wants of investigators in the physical sciences. I think I am representing the feeling of a large number of students clustered around the Academy of Natural Sciences, the Franklin Institute, the Philo sophical Society, and our various colleges, in saving that any movement upon the part of our public institutions, or any act of private munificence which would oive the students in Philadelphia as fair a chance for researches in physiology, physics, and chemistry as are enjoyed by those of Berlin or Cambridge, would meet with the deepest gratitude, and would, in itself, result most beneficially to the higher interests of this great manufac turing city.
