Tho following is an nl'stract of ex-Gov.
CiulinV, lecttcc on Uustia, which he has de
livered at various pnir.U over the Slate. Tho
lecture rcrjuircd about two hours for its de
livery :
Ho went on to speak of tho great extent
of that empire, occupying asitdoes one-fifth
in area of tho continent') of the globe, ami
cmbiiicing nine millions of square milc.
Come idea of tho iiiiignitiulo of these figures
may be gained when it is remembered that
tho United States, including tho territo
ric, contain an aica of but two million",
five hundred thoii.'and squaro miles, or lecs
than one-third that of Rusin. Thin great
empire contains about GO.000.000 jicoplo o(
Sclavonic oriyin, .md all Rti-sin, in Turopo
nud Asia, contains from ninety to one hun
dred millions of inhabitant?. Tho people
speak eighty different languages, andaredis-
tribtitcd among fifty-nine different provinces
or governments. Thcro are about 1.000. OOO
Roman Catholics, about tho same number of
rotcstauts, and tho bulk of tho rest be
long to tho Greek Church. Thcro are, how
ever, in remote p,-uviticc( many lire wor-
hippcro, sun worshippers and other idola
ters.
Russia was settled long before the Chris
tian era, became an empire in the ninth cen
tury nnd was converted to the Chii.'tiau re-
ion in the tenth century. Very little was
known of tho country by tho neighboring
nations, and as an illustration of this fact
the lecturer stated that in tho sixteenth cen
tury an 1'nglish navigator having sailed into
tho mouth of one of tho northern Ru-sinn
liven, reported to his own government that
ho had discovered a new country. Old as
tho empire is, Rutia of to-day is compara
tively a new country. There were great cit
ies long beforo Jlo-cotv. Novrogod, the an
cient mart where the transfers between Kuro-
pean and Asiatic Russia were made, w.n a
wealthy and beautiful city, and contained
half a million people; but to-day Novrogod
is in ruins, and barely thirty thousand peo
ple exist there. Thii and other cities flour-
shed when JioH'ow was a mere hamlet and
when the sile of St. 1'elersburg was an unin
habited mor.i-s, Thii latter city, now a
placo of 81)0.000 inhabitants and tho seat of
overnmcnt, was founded after Ilodoii, l'hil-
idclphi.i and New York weru well-known
clliw.
Tho spciker then proceeded to relato his
experience in Russia when acting as Minis
ter to tho Court of St. I'ctcrsbitr,. Ho said
ho first entered tho empire by tho German
frontier, iind traveled to tho capital all tho
tvny on tho highest ridgo of tho country.
From tho cir windows tho laud appeared to
bo all a dreary iiuiulntbittd wnnto. At great
li-tuiii'cs apart thcro were littlo clusters of
mean little I'Mi"1, ono story lii'ii, nu i ire-
pieutly without li .ird floors, but except at
llio-c i'l.lgtiiiiiut hamlets thcro wero no
igns oi niu at mi. .s uio train drew near
t. iVt.-r.sbiia.g thcro were seen iwuo of tho
oiilinarv linlicatioiH of tho api roach to
great city uouo of tlio out lying- vill.u ami
country sMts of llyj wealthy cili.em no
trnggling suburb, Inn all at oncotho spires
and iniiiaivti of tlio city hurst in tiio vlutv
over tho oterilo plain. After ivachlng tho
cltv ho leinaliii'd thrco weeks at Ills lodgings
and nut a soul caino to seo him, and ho be
gan to think that life at Court might turn
out to bo it very lonely one. At tho end of
Unit time, however, a functionary of tho
Court called upon him and told him that
tlio C.ar would give him tin audience the
next day ut two o'clock, lie noticed ill Iho
public prints aiiiiiiiiouiicenicnttli.it tlicC..ir
was to review tho Imperial Guard tho next
morning, and so ho went to seo this great
ageaut. Tito sight was a magnificent one.
Tlio Guard comprised -15.000 picked men
li'.uvn from every province and tribo ol tho
western empire- and droned in their distinct-
ivo cosluine.i. lhoCarliliiHelt waslollotvei
by a special budy.guard uf three hundred of
Iho first nobles uf Iho ciuplro all littering
in tho chain armor ol tho times ot the Cm
sados , iiio sccno ciiuiu not uii to impress
ono w ith a seiio of the power of that despot
o government, especially when it Is remem
bered that this was but u fraction of tho
forcuullu disposal, and that behind this
Imperial Guard wcroSOO.OUO trained soldier
scattered over the Umpiro, Tho speaker, in
ho witnessed this grand review, could not
help contrasting it with that at Washington
in ISoVi, when our iiiibl'Staiuod mid battle
scarred veterans relume I from tho war, uu
hu could not help but think if thu bronzed
herois oft' ' til Vr.i f tho l'otiinae bail
been turned b" In ll' it par.tdo cr und
they would l ave clewed it In idnrt ord r.
In tho alciiu"jsi ho went to the paku'out llio
appointed hour, with his bccrctury, aud alter
being conducted with agood deal of oomical
parade and ceremony through a dozen dif
ferent apartments, ho was at last ushered into
the prcsenco of the CV.ar, who received lilm
without any fuss, cordially grasped his hand
and followed his hearty .salutation with a
wholo volley of questions relating to tho now
.Minister and his country. All this timo the
lecturer Haid ho was trying to find an open
ing when ho might begin tho delivery of a
speech ho had in his coat-tail pocket; but
whenever ho reached for it tho Czar piled
him with now questions and so that oration
was lost to tho world.
This presentation at Court broke tho ice,
and after that thnro was no lack of aociety.
On his rettliirto his lodgings an officer pre
sented film a long list of persons ho was ex
pected to call upon. Ho had tho curiosity
afterwards to count their names, and found
thcro wcro moicthan three hundred andllfty
of them. And ho was expected lo call in
person on all theso it would not do to sim
ply leave a card, and so ho plunged into the
businerts, making twenty or thirty call) each
day. All these calls wero returned. lie
never received moro hospitabls and kindly
treatment anywhere than in (it.To.tersbtirg,
and lis thonld always remember his life
there with pleasure. IIo embraced every
possible opportunity to niako excursions into
tho country, and tried to learn for himself
the condition and prospects of the common
people.
Their villages are -mall and mean, tho
houses being but one story high, and built
of log.), frequently without floors, and with
stable and cattle pen attached directly in tho
rear. There is generally a littlo church with
a priest of tho established religion, a smith's
shop and always a tavern. This latter insti
tution is a prime necessity in every Russian
village, for every Russian is an incurable
drunkard. Ho has a liquor dhtilled from
rye, much stronger than our strongest whis
key, and this ho drinks habitually. Tho
liquor is always puro however, for the gov
ernment carefully inspects it. Drink docs
not operate upon tho Russian ai upon other
men, for as ho gets drunk ho becomes good
naturcd, and tho drunker he grows tho pleas
auter ho becomes. Hven tho highest class
of Russians are not exempt from this vice.
Tho Russian does not treat his wife with
much affection or respect, and tho women
are not noted for their fidelity lo their mar
riage vow. ilie Uussiau "ays tho Tartar
blood in them makes tho women disobedient
and unfaithful, and that they must bo fre
quently threshed to keep them loving and
obedient. Itt illustration of tho treatment
of women tho speaker told how ono of llio
servants of tho homo where he lived was in
tho habit of whipping his wife in tho court
yard, in full view of the .Mini-tor's family.
llo objected to this, aud finally appealed to
the Chief of Folieo to prevent it; but was
told that thcro was no law lo stop tho whip
ping, although tho man w.ii required to be
littlo moro private in hu exhibitions of
family government afterwards.
Tho lecluier then passed to tho subject of
serfdom in Russia. He said that tho insti
tution was established by ono tho best and
scd rulers tho empire overbad. Serfdom
thcro and slavery in this country originated
about tho same time, but they sprang front
y dluorent motives. Serfdom was insti
tuted to fix Iho wandering nomadic native
to (lie soil, and so render the arts of civili-
iition possible and niako Russia a tntion.
lido slavery was established to gratify tho
greed and cupidity of our ancestors. Serf
dom was decreed in 1(113, and at firt was
comparatively a mild institution, but itaf-
rwards became an abominable system of
avcry. At first there wero only two classes
of people tho serfs and tho nobles who
owned both the serf and the land, After-
ards overseers, called boyarswero appoint
ed and, as tho tendency of power is always to
gravitate from tho many to tho few, these
boyars soon came to exorcise despotic power
over both tho herf and his owner. The soif
could be put to death with impunity and tho
noblo could bo thrown into prr-on by the-o
boyars, and thcro was no appeal. When
Fctcr the Great came lo tho throno ho set on
foot an inquiry about tho serfs with a view
to ameliorate their condition ; but ho was so
busy with his wars and labois to extend and
consolidate bis empire that the subject was
forgotten.
Tho speaker expie--cd a very high opin
ion of Fcter tho Great. Ho found Rus-ia
with 12.OUO.ODO inhabitants; ho left it with
10.OUO.000. IIo was a !.tutc-man and an ar
tisan a lawgiver and a civil engineer. Ho
mado surveys in per-ou. Ho worked in
ivory, and wood, and brass, many beautiful
pieces of his handiwork being preserved In
tho Russian palaces. Ho butt a hotiso and
tho furniture for it with his own hands, ami
Unit lion. o stunds in St, I'cterobiirg to-day,
being not much larger than tho slago on
vhseh the speaker stood Ho went to Gei-
iiiany and burned ship building, He went
lo K'lglundiind ordered a frigate to bo built
in which to ride homo Ho inspected tho
workshops, manufactories and schools, 1'ass-
lug
ono day near ono of the coiiilsof law,
ho sawn crowd of men coining out with
robes and wigs mi, Ho asked whom theso
men were, and being told they wcro lawyers,
ho said, "Do they multiply so fast as that ','
I havo two in Russia, and I Intend, when I
;o home to hang one." Ho was a semi-bar-
b.iriau ; but civilization in Ru-sla dates from
hi i reign, llo built tho beautiful cltv ofSt.
reicrsiiiirg among tno intimites or tlio eva,
calling 10.000 people from one part of his
empire one year, and 10.000 from another
part the next, until tho work wascomplcted
All this ho did, dying at the early ago of 52 ;
and ho was drunk more Ihan half his time 1
Notwithstanding ho had cut oil' tho heads of
two hundred pci'Mins with his own hand,
and had put to death his own son because, ho
dltl'ciod with him politically, ho lost his life
by plunging into tho Neva to savo somopoor
peasants who had capsized.
Tho lecturer then procidulto speak of tho
rclgu of Catharine. thu most dissolute but
ono of thu gieateitt rulers Rus-hi ever had.
Sho procured Iho as.as-ination of her own
husband, and entrapped and drowned her
sister-in-law. Sho wasa Russian ruler with
out a drop of Russian blood in her veins,
being of pure German extraction. During
her reign thcro was no improvement in Uio
condition of the eijrf.
Alexander I. mado somo eltbrt to mitigate
the evils of serfdom, as also did Nicholas;
but tho hands and minds of thoso rulers wcro
too full of wars to permit of much belli
djii" fir tho nrf, It Is reported In Russia -
and the s-peiikrr In Ueved the report to be tho
truth that ju bifore Nicholas died ho ex
ib't I fic in his sen a prcini o that ho would
change the policy of thogovvmuieii uatlou
allzo Russia, nnd manumit tlio firth. It is
supposed that Nicholas, harassed by tlio re
verses of tho Crimean war, poisoned liimelf.
Certain it Is that ho announced ono day that
ho should not bo allvo on tlio morrow, and
beforo tho next day camo ho was dead
Within six wooksnfter ho ascended tho throno
Alexander II. turned his attention lo tlio con
dition of tho scrf3. Thcro wero nt that tlnio
23,000,000 serfs, 22,000,000 in a mitigated
kind of serfdom, and !l,r,00,000 persons who
had forfeited thcirliberty, making 18,r,00,000
slaves in Russia. Tho Czar appointed a com
mittee of tho nobility to consider serfdom,
and they reported against its abolition. Ho
appointed two other committees, but they,
too, rcpoited ngaint manumUslon. And
their reasons wero plausible. They feared
that tho native, freed from tho restraints of
serfdom, would return to his nomadic habits
and lapse Into barbarism. In all tho em
pire tho poor serf had but ono friend but
ho sat on tho throne. Tho Czar resolved to
signalize tho 100th anniversary of tho em
pire by tho abolition of serfdom. At mid
night ho attended church, nnd in tho morn
ing all St. I'ctorsburg was astonished to find
tho palace surrounded by troops. Tho unu
sual sight drew together a vast concourso of
people. At noon tho Czar appeared on tho
balcony of tho palace, and tho imperial ukase
was road, declaring free -13,000,000 slaves.
This act was effected without tho expendi
ture of ono cent or a drop of human blood,
and this in a country nonii-barbarous, while
in this enlightened land hundreds of thou
sands of lives wcro sacrificed and billions of
treasure spent to free -1,000,000 slaves. Rut
this was not all that tho Czar did. Ho did
not leave hisnow-mado freemen helpless and
penniless. Ho bought land from tho nobles
and gave it to tho former ncrf, taking his
bond to repay tho purchaso motioy. Amer
ican slavery and Ru;sian serfdom had boon in
stituted about tho same time, and they died
about tho same time. Itwasin March, 18151,
that the Czar declared tho fecrfs free, and it
was on the 21st of April, 1S01, that the first
gun fired at FortSumpter, sounded tho knell
of American slavery.
Ono object of tho Czar win to establish a
middle class in Russia, and this ho accom
plished. Tho merchant and manufacturer
aro now respected. At a recent city election
in JIoscow a merchant wai elected over a
descendant of the ancient nobility, much to
the Czars gratification. Tho recent mate
rial development of tho country hris been
very great. Tea years ago thcro was but
ono lino of railroad in tho country that be
tween JIoscow and St. Petersburg; today
thcro are 15,000 miles, and as much more
projected.
Tho empire is financially as strong as any
country in Europe, and its bonds will bring
as high a price in London as thoso of any
other government. Tho Russian courts of
justice aro conducted with as much propri
ety as our own. They havo the trial by ju
ry; but it is modified in a tvny which the
speaker thought we might do well to imitate.
Hut two-thirds of tho jury aro required to
find a verdict, aud two cxtrajurors aro sworn
who sit bv and hear tho testimony so as to
take tho placo of any juryman who may bo-
como suddenly incapablo of acting. The
government has thoroughly investigated tlio
school systems of all other counlrio.!, and is
gradually extending good schools over tho
empire. Tho speaker was glad to say that
tho Russian, found tho school system of our
own State so admirable that they have fol
lowed it to a great extent.
Tho speaker then considered tho probabil
ities of a general war in Europe, which
seemed to bo rapidly approaching. It is re
ported that Iho difficulty between Turkey
and Jlontcncgro has been settled; but any
day a spark may set all Europe in a blaze.
Great preparations aro being made for such
a catastrophe. Ho was informed that ono
firm in this country had a contract to fiirni-h
Turkey with 000,000 rilles, lo bo paid for in
London. Everybody knows that tho Turk
has no credit ; but England can furnish mon
ey easier than men. Every Rusjian, from
tho CV.ar to tho peasant, is resolved to go
there, and fur his pint, tho speaker said, he
didn't care how .soon tho Russian got there.
He didn't know what tho rest of us would
do when that event took place, but ho knew
ono house that would bo illuminated, and il
there was a big gun anywhere in his neigh
borhood it would bark. Among all the
crowned heads in Europe it was a fact that
tho CV.ar was tho only friend America had in
our late strugglo for life. When war came
in Europe ho would wish lluxia well; but
wo must keep out of the light. Then it will
bo a good time for us to kojp quiet. We
can feed tho ro u, n I'lig armies, and c.irrt
their goods, but we n- e l not mix into their
planets,
Whatevi r God bus given mo, it is not fur
myself alone; it is to iiuluenco to sumo ex
tent others, and to poribim a work for others,
and there is no man in society so insignifi
cant that God has imt a special work fur
him to do. Tlio other cuieeiitioii would be
monstrous. The machinist makes no u-ele.ss
pan oi iiiacliincry. i ho luiililcr places no

object for which every pillar Is laid, every

every part oi a minding is toman as it is,
It is for strength and beauty, for tho admis

a reason lor everything, And so the great
Architect of Creation, tlio Almighty God, in

earth, livery man has his place, a founda

God saw necessary for this world, and to be
used for its advancement; and henco tests
on every man tho duty ol doing what ho can
