A HEW BOOK ABOUT RUSSIA.
The Emnnclrallon of the Nerfa-KeRtiU of Ten
Yenra.
The London house of Smith, Elder t Co.
has jinbliBhed Dr. Julius Eckhanlt's work on
"Modern Kussia," a volume which makes a
timely appearance in view of possible contin
gencies in Europe. Dr. Eckhardt, confining
his researches chiefly to the reign of Alexan
der II, describes the present condition of
Kussia better than any other writer of the
day, and a large part of his book is devoted
to the serfs and the effect of the decree of
emancipation. This decree became a law less
than ten years Ago February; ISO 1 but this
brief period has sutliced to create a peaceful
revolution in the empire and to strengthen
the Government by elevating twenty-live
millions of persons from a condition of
slavery to the rank of citizens and free
holders. The old custom had been that a certain
amount, usually a third, of every estate was
reserved to the proprietor, the remainder
falling to the use of the village community.
But the peasants were obliged to cultivate
their masters' portion without wages, and
three days a week were generally devoted to
this service. The serfs were divided into
two classes, those who tilled the soil and the
household servants, who were entirely depen
dent on and supported by their lord. The
former possessed their land in common,
which was divided anew, according to f ami
lies, every nine years. It by no means fol- ,
lowed that the head of a family received the
same allotment at each recurring redistribu
tion, and it frequently happened that the
portions assigned him did not lie all toge
ther. The individual possessions of each
man consisted of his house and garden,
horses, cattle, and movable goods, llun
away serfs were severely dealt with, but any
peasant desiring to quit his village and settle
in the towns could do so by purchasing his
freedom or by paying an annual tax to his
lord. Many proprietors derived large sums
in this way from serfs who had become
wealthy merchants and tradesmen.
rr.ovisioN of the emancipation act.
By the Emancipation act the freedom of
the serfs, both agricultural and domestic,
was assured, and the village communities
were allowed to acquire absolute possession
of the land by purchase, or to hold it under
easy leases. Nothing else was altered. The
household servants were to remain in their
former positions, receiving fixed wages, until
the 19th February, ISO:, when they could
terminate their engagement if they pleased.
The serfs who were living in the towns re
mained for the same period under the old
conditions, except that the tax paid to their
lord was limited to thirty rubles (about C I)
for a man and ten rubles for a woman. At
the same time, all obligations on the proprie
tor to provide for his serfs in sickness, scar
city, or old age ceased.
Previously to the Emancipation act, it
depended solely on the will of the proprietor
as to what portions of his estate should be
assigned to the village communities, the only
rule being that each peasant was to receive
four and a half dessiatins (about twelve
acres) for his support. Here, then, arose a
difficulty. It was the peasant's interest to
get the cultivated and most productive par
of the land, the lord's to keep in his own
possession as much of those portions of his
estate as possible. The question was left to
the parties themselves to settle, under the
supervision of officials appointed for the pur
pose and styled peace mediators. It was im
possible, of course, to apply the same rules
throughout such a diversified territory
as the liussian Empire. It was there
fore divided into three zones, each uf
which was subdivided into regions.
Special regulations were drawn up for each
of these divisions, according to the varying
conditions of soil, climate, and agricultural
life and customs. These regulations were
most complicated, and the transition period
during which they were to be carried out was
originally fixed to terminate in the present
vear, but a much longer time will probably
elapse before the land question may be con
sidered as settled. Not the least difficult
part of the business is to be found in the fact
that the liussian peasant, as a rule, hates
work almost as much as the negroes in the
"West Indies showed they did after their
emancipation, and he is ready, for the sake
of immediate and temporary gratification, to
surrender all his prospects of future well
being and prosperity.
IiESULTS OP TEN YEARS.
The results of this change, as described by
Dr. Eckhardt, are summed up by the London
Spectator in its review of his work:
The serfs settled in towns were the first to
recognize the benefits conferred npn them.
They were no longer in danger of being re
called, at the caprice of their lord, for their
lucrative occupations, to resume the old
drudgery they had abandoned; and the tax
'which they were to pay for the next two
years was a mere trifle. The lower orders of
these, such as mechanics, droschky drivers,
and the like, after the fashion of true lius
sian peasants, immediately proceeded to get
drank, and paraded the streets in bands, shout
ing "VolyuKhka!" "Volyushka," "dear little
freedom." The agricultural serfs, on the other
band, did not at first comprehend what had
been done. Their ignorance was played upon
by political agitators, and disturbances arose
in various quarters. They thought that the
real Emancipation act of the Tsar had been
tampered with in its transmission to them.
They said, "We belong to the lords, but the
land belongs to us," and thev imagined that
it had been the Tsar's intention to give them
ubsolute possession of the land without any
payment to the proprietors. These disturb
ances were, however, easily suppressed,
though not without bloodshed, and the re
adjustment of the land tenure has since gone
peaceably on. But is is not until a compre
hensive system of education such as that
bow in contemplation is in force throughout
the land, that the Emancipation act will bear
the full fruits contemplated by its enlightened
originators.
THE MOST POWERFUL 8ECT IN RUSSIA.
Dr. Eckhardt gives a long acoount of the
religions sects in Russia. The most power
ful is that of the Uaskolnikoi or Old Be
lievers, who date from l;.r7. In that year
the patriarch Nikon carried out a revision of
the mass books and rituals, which, owing to
the errors of ignorant copyists, had caused
considerable alteration in the old teaching of
the Greek Church. But the majority of the
people and the inferior clergy, with one soli
tary bishep at their head, still elung to them,
and nine years later were solemnly banned as
heretics in a council held for that purpose.
At the death of their bishop the Old Believers
became subdivided into priestless Beets, and
sects still possessing ordained ministers
The former held that the link of apostolioal
ordination was broken; their biBhop having
died without consecrating any other bishop;
the latter recruited the ranks of their clergy
by secessions from the dominant Church. At
tfce present day, they are connived at, if not
tolerated, by the Government, with which
they have come to some tacit kind of under
standing. Their history in Dr. EckbariU's
hands reads like a romance.
Modern Tolerance. Nothing perhaps can
in the long run be wors for humanity than
the notion that men should be hated and per
secuted for their opinions. The world may
be held to have learnt this lesson. It has
found it out. And everybody knows that the
reason why it is bad, and why it can never
answer to persecute and put down those who
think differently from ourselves, is because
no man can be cet tain that his view of truth
is the correct one. If one could be ure upon
this point, war against a false opinion would
be right and expedient. It can never be ho,
because we are really in doubt upon the sub
ject; . because when A. says, "I hold the
truth;" and 15. says, "No, you hold falsohcod;
hold the truth," there is no umpire to whom
appenl can be made to decide between them.
These are the cases in which, as the world
has by this time pretty well learned, absolute
toleration is and should be the rule. But
surely we are in danger, in these latter days,
of falling into the equally mistaken converse
of the mistake our forefathers fell into. They
very readily burned with a "divine white
heat," as Carlyle says of indignation against
both wrong-doers and wrong-thinkers. We
extend an equally tepid tolerance to both !
But we may quite depend upon this that
unless, to use the words of our poet-prophet
again, a sufficient number of heroic men are
found in the nation to stand forth with the
hot indignant protest on their lips that such
things shall not be such things as have been
too much lately tolerated among us we
Bhall "right surely, we for one, stumble to
the Devil, and are every day and hour, little
as we imagine it, making progress thithar."
Saint Paul's.
Singular Proceedings under Different
Wills. The town of Sherborn, Mass., has
iust become entitled to about ro,000, the
bequests of Thomas sawin ana manna, ms
sister, late of Natick. The Newton Journal
states that reciprocal wills were made nearly
twenty years ago by the brother and sister,
by which the survivor was to have nearly all
the property, on condition that a suitable
provision was made for a Mrs. Perry, their
only sister. Thomas died in 18G8; but this
will was contested by Mrs. Perry, and was
not allowed nntil Martha had made a satis
factory arrangement with her sister giving
her a life interest in a certain house in Gran
ville, 8)()0 down, and an annuity of $000
during Mrs. Perry's life and that of her
daughter. In ltMV.t Martha Sawin died,
leaving a will which gave all her property
but about $ 1 000 to the town of Sherborn,
for the maintenance of a high school. This
will Mrs. Perry also con tested, and it was not
allowed until the parties interested had
agreed that she should have the estate 'at
Granville in fee simple, and a sum of money
equivalent to two life annuities of $!00
each, and 10,000 in money. By this ar
rangement Sherborn loses about $10,000,
but gets nevertheless, the handsome sum of

The bonds are issued at f 20,000 per- mile against
the portion otAj of the line fullv completed and
equipped.
The greater part of the road Is already In opera
tiuu, and the present earnings are iargeiy in exces
nf the operating expenses and Interest on the bonds. '
The balance of the work necessary to establish
throtiKh connections, thereby shortening the dis
tance between St. Paul and Chicago 43 miles, and 90
miles to St. Louis, is rapidly progressing, In time for
the movement of the coming grain crops, which, It
Is estimated, will double the present Income of the
road.
The established character of this road, running as
It does through the heart of the most thlckly-settled
and richest portion of the great state of Iowa, to
gether with its present advanced condition and large
earnings, warrant ns la unhesitatingly recommend
ing these bonds to investors as, in every respect, an
undoubted security. A small quantity of the Issue
only remains unsold, and when the enterprise la
completed, which will bo tills fall, an immediate ad
vance over subscription price may be looked for.
The bonds have fifty years to run, are convertible
at the option of the holder Into the stock of the Com
pany at par, and the payment of the principal Is pro
vided for by a sinking fund. The convertibility
privilege attached to these bonds cannot fall to cause
them, at an early day, to command a market price
considerably above par. U. S. Five-twenties at pre
sent prices return only 4 per cent, currency inte
rest, while these bonds pay 9 per cent., and we
regard them to be as safe and fully equal as a security
to any Kauroaa uona issuea; and until they are
placednpon the New York Stock Exchange, the
rules or whicn require tno road to be completed, we
obligate ourselves to rebuy at any time any of these
bonds sold by ns after this date at the same price as
realized by us on their sale.
