My cell—shall I ever forget it ° It would
'be unjust for me to pretend that all the cella
an a Russian prison were like mine. I was

sion. The rack end the whip are not used in
.Russia, but there are civilized methods of
torture that can coinpel confession as severe

it was not long enough for me to he at full
length, and 1 oma short elan. The diet
was bread and water twice a day. In this
torturing den I was kept three or four weeks,
till I lost lay senses from exhaustion. Some
time previous to this I had begun to spit
blood from my lungs. In spite of the pain
of thisplace of confinement it was preferable
to the mental and nervous torments of the
dark bole in which I had been confined.
The window was gated and painted white,
butit did admit light, and there was
plenty of fresh air.
TO THE INFIRMARY.
From the tower I was taken like a corpse
to the infirmary. The bells were separate,
and there was at least fresh air and better
food. For breakfast there was white bread
and oatmeal, for dinner beef or some other
good meat, and for supper white bread and
tea. Sometimes articles were sent to the
sick prisoners by the charitable. I fell
heir to a handkerchief with a coronet sent
by some noble woman who sympathized
with us. Of course it was taken from me,
when I left the prison and there
was some excitement in guessing who the
donor was. The physician who examined
us was a personal acquaintance of lay father,
strange persecution that attracted the atten-
tion of the civilized world. Mobs formed in
the streets, largely of students. I saw ti
Cossack strike with his riding whip a. stu-
dent who was protecting some Jews, and I
fired a revolver at kiln. A mounted officer,
whom I afterward discovered to be the gen-
eral in charge of the garrison, a coward who
sends people to Siberia only to obtain the
title of a Governor of the State, saw me fire
the shot and rode his horse at me. Then I
remembered what in my excitement I had
forgotten, that I had about me the names of
people who would give pre assistance, and
considerable correspondence that would in-
sure the arrest of some drily friends. I ran
like a hare down the street, but four feet
are better than two, and, as the fleet horse
overtook me, scarcely knowing what I was
about, I leaped to one side and leveled a
blow at my pursuer. My heavy student's
staff fell with a thud on the General's illus-
trious leg, and at that appropriate moment
his horse slipped and fel. I did not waitto
see hisat
f e, but knowing that now death
within twenty-four hours awaited me, I
again took to my heels, and dodging and
doubling, escaped my pursuers, and at last
gained the open country and the woods,

Railways to:the/Transvaal,
The news that the Boers show signs of
abandoning their obstructive attitude on the
railway a question is satisfactory from a com-
mercial
pointof view. Theneed for more
rapid communication
munication is pressing, but it will
probably not take place via Delagoa Bay.
VVe learn from a business man who has re-
cently visited the Transvaal, and who gave
a good deal of attention to this question,
that the completion of this line is hardly a
matter of practical polities. A great part of
the intervening country consists of treacher-
ous and deadly morass, over which it would
be both difficult and dangerous to maintain
communication. The beat policy according
to our informant, is to rely on extensions
from Natal and Cape Colony, which present
no great difficulty when the Boer Govern-
ment are once willing.-,
"No," said Gus De Jay, "I don't oare
much fob these temperance people,you know,
but I ' should nevah think of putting an
enemy ,i nto my mouth tosteal away my
brains. "And if you did,�� said a friend of
his. It would be a good joke on the enemy,"
Minnie—"I heard Mr. 'Chopperspeaking

very badly 'about you yesterday.'' .Mamie—
"For heaven's sake what did he say ?"
Minnie -"I don't rememberjust now. But
you know how awfully he stammers."
