Monday was court-day, and a goodlyn i, in ber of pr-'Ple were in attendance,although there was little or no businessol interest before the court.

Among ths recent enterprises gottenup in tbe town of Lexington is theRockbriilgc-County Savings Bank, an

institution much needed in the commu¬

nity. It ls to he modelled after thoI mon rank of Richmond. The charterwas granted hy the last Legislature.Among the corporators are Hon. Wil¬lum A. Anderson. W. B. F. I/each,lltni¦ IL Myers. J. K. Edmundson,j, c. i.tunlc. and W. T. Shields.Thc minimum capital of the bank, bythe terms of the charter, is fixed at|20,000 snd the maximum at |_"",-000, The hooks of Btibscriptionhara been opened for a short while only,

icy. and that at thc June term of thecourt there will be a mass-meeting to

gits public expression to this senti¬ment.There was a spirited and animated

contest in the county in regard to localijdion. Three of thc districts, inclu¬ding lexington, went wet by handsomemajorities, and two dry. Posted eon-

spuuously in and about the court¬house yard (court-day) were postersannouncing that there would be s meet¬

ing held to form s permanent organiza¬tion in the county. The meeting was

held, but accomplished nothing of in¬ti ii t. (iood leeling prevails amongall Hasses, and there is no serious ap¬prehension that dissensions exist amongthc peopls of ihe county that will inureto the interest of cither of the politicalparties. The Town Council at a meet¬ing held recently raided the licensetax on the liqaaf traffic. Last yearthe corporation tax for a bar was |150.Now it is $4.r>0. The result is thatwhile last Year there were a number of

^ har rooms opened, at Monday's courtI only four of thom applied for licenses.

There are two great religious edificesMandalay which it is the duty, as

is the pleasure of the traveller, toe. Thc city, like all Burmah, teemsith pagodas and temples. Every hill-ip, every plain, every grove of trees.;cry garden, has its graceful build-g in whits or gold, giving evidence ofie piety and of the lavishness of theirnumerable founders. The amount ofoney thus expended during centuries,id now still lavished year by year andonth by month, is past the countingall the clerks in tbe Bank of England,bc roads, tbe pslsces, the fortifies-ons, tbe aqueducts, that might havaren built with all this brick and mor-

r, to say nothing of the stucco or thedd leaf, Bomelimcs an inch thick I

chance fire burnt down the.est pagoda, snd tbe goldcited from its immense sar¬

ee is ssid to have been worth Bixty-ic lakhs 1 It was replaced by Thee-iw, and more gold added. This enor-

ous waste of tbe national resourcea,

.nev ri ed in through generations, maycount for the manifest poverty of the

prpulaton. which lives for tbs mostpart in habitations of wicker-work,eked ont with melting. There is noaccumulation of property: every familyBras an ephemeral life, those that comeafter will live the aame.

"Thc palace in Mandalay ii com¬

posed of planks carved and gilt pro¬fusely indeed ; but there is not s puckswsll to give consistence or permanenceto a Kingle wing of it. Three or fourmiles away the plinth of a pagoda wubuilt by Mindo-min with such an ex¬

travagant waste of solid material that,eves ss it stands, it is said to ba thegreatest mass of brick-work in theworld. An earthquake.nothing elsawould suflice.rent it, and the pagodawas never built on it. But there itremains. This waa only one of the vastreligiois structures which marked thatmooan h's reign. In Mandalay itselfhe erected a monastery.the * Like-of-which-lheie-is-not '.the incomparable,which possesses a room unquestionablythe finest in all Mandalay. It wouldbe no great stretch of fancy to say it is

the first in the world. The buildingis composed of a series of bold ter¬races, six in number, rising one aboveanother, the central one beingthe highest. The golden room is ear¬ned on thirty-six pillars, some ofwhich are seventy feet high, the ceilingreaching its greatest elevation in tbehi.b central terrace, tinder which is acolossal figure of Gautama beside a

golden throne. Tbe boldness of tbogeneral design, the noble proportions ofthe immense ball, and thc great heightattained over the throne and the statuefill the mind with surprise and pleas¬ure. Pillars, wall8, and ceiling are

richly gilt, glaas inlaying heighteningtbe brilliancy."Tbe Chief Commissioner has shisvn

his appreciation nf the beautiful in pro¬scribing the Incomparable as the sceneof the great ceremony, if circumstancespermit of its being held. Externally,the building is vast, but plain in de¬sign and material.the walls are whitestucco, and severely plain. But themass, bathed in the bright sunlight,is imposing in its simplicity. Notfar from the Incomparable isa pagoda of great sizo andperfect symmetry, covered with gilding,and risirg up among no less than 164little chapels.if such they may becalled.each containing a large tabletof while marble, on which is inscribeda portion of the sacred Buddhist books.Thus the whole of the law is displayed,cut in marble, to the eyes of the in¬quirer. Ibis pagoda, with its sur¬

rounding buildings, must have cost fromtwelve to fifteen lakhs. It bears thetitle of thc Royal Merit.significant ofthe conviction indulged in by MindoMin that in building this great reli¬gious edifice, with its instructive sur¬

roundings, he bail earned for himselfihe great reward, when the time shouldc mc, . to reign among the spirits ' (notto'die' like an ordinary mortal). Hewould merit nirvina itself, and havedone with the sin and suffering of ex¬istence. King Theebaw, I hear, was

SBgaged in constructing a magnificentbuilding, to cost twenty-three lakhs, atsome distance from Mandalay.a struc¬ture so vast as to establish his rovslmerit beyond all doubt or cavil. Butit will never bc finished."

Otorrml..- St. Petersburg correspondentwnUng to the New York rri6aB<rsayfl:The sudelcn death of the peat Russian

patriot and Slavophil Ivan Axakoffbas made a strong impression even uponpersons unable to sympathize arith theeccentric views of thia writer, whoseincontestable talents, noble character^,and deep | ncerity no one ever ven¬tured to deny. Wa death is consideredas a national lois, and has shaken allranks of society almost aa stronglyas did that of Skobeleff, andtbe Bation rendered to bis remains andto his memory as marked tokens ofmourning and regret. The Russianpress is unanimous in its rather exag-perate 1 encomiums upon the deceased.On thc other hsnd, the German press isunwilling to render this fallen opponentcommon justice. It must be admittedtbat the Germana have pretty strongreasons for disliking the celebratedSlavophil, for he never lost an opportu¬nity of giv ing vent to the strong antipathybe nourished for all foreigners, and fortbe Germans in particular. The Slavo¬phils consider Peter the Great as nextdoor but one to anti-Christ for havingopened holy Russia to French and Ger-man influences, and for having " filledthe land wilh infidels." They turntheir backs most perseveringly upon thegreater part of the reforms made bytbat great man and by his successors,and especially view with an evileve the work of the liberator,Alexander H. Axakoff edited severalpaptrs in wbich these ideas were propa¬gated with energy and ability. Theywere ephemeral, because going againstthe Government. The first was theDay, then the Moskca, the iloskcitch,and lately the Rims. There is no de¬ny iog the great intluence these organshave bad in Russia. Although theyhave succeeded in converting few peo¬ple to the views of Axakoff, they havegreatly contributed to the diffusion oftbatexaggcrated nationalism now preva¬lent, and the gradual isolation of Rus¬sia from other civilized nations, trenchand Herman are no more spoken in so¬

ciety ; nothing but Russian is beard.Italian and French music has gono outof fashion. Tbe national costume hasbeen readopted in the army and amongfunctionaries, and more attention thanover is paid to purely exterior formali¬ties, especially in Church matters.

Concerning his activity as a publicist,it is impossible to ignore the passionsnd party spirit which pervade all thatAxakoff wrote. He attacked his ad¬versaries with the utmost virulenceand an energy of languago original andpowerful, but by no means agreeableHe systematically declined refutingihe reasonable opposition made tohis extravagant ideas and opin¬ions. All be asserted he ex¬

pected to be received as Gospel truth"Malwato prove, and that only adeptsof the " rotten western pseudo-cul¬ture " could venture to doubt. Duringthe last year, however, the editor olthe Ron* was fain to acknowledge tha'be was losing ground every day, andthat his ideas were met moro and moracoldly. Notwithstanding tbe distillguiahed writers he invited as coila')ora¬ton to his organ tho subscribers beginto fall off considerably in number,and e.-pecially in quality. ThoBone was read rather by theRussian icerchants and tho clergythan by the moro intelligent part of thenation, and much moro in Moscow thanin St. Petersburg. Whoa Axakoff sawthat bis violent recriminations againstthe cation and Administration, his direprophetic utterances and criticism ofevery new reform attempted made im¬pression neither upon society nor thoGovernment, nor upon Prince Batten-berg, nor upon Milan, and only servedto make deadly enemies of the Ger¬mans, be fell into a state of discourage¬ment bordering upon despair. Thorupture of the Fmperor with PrinceBalU-nburg caused him such a blowthat it appears highly probable thisevent was the cause t^f his death. Tbeloss of tbe Russian intluence in Mul¬gan* bas swept away the dreams ofibo Slavophils, and it is likely thisparty will soon fall to the ground.

Slavophilism has dono more seriousbairn to the interior culture of thiscour.tty thin word- can express. Thedisdain and animosity with which thisparty e.onsi'lcred Kuropem culture, thofierce hatred they nourished for ovcry-..hu k imported from abroad, ha.o donemuch toward stopping tho countryon the general high-road to pro-pu.-?, as have also tho insane ef-ioiis to resuscitate old principlesand customs belonging to a state ofc v.li/atiun which Peter the (ireat andCatherina II. made it the work of theirlives to annihilate. The few ardentSlavophil.-, tbat have survived their illus¬trious leader will, it is to be boped,join some other party and cease to con¬fider as ideals most desirable to attainthe wcrnout institutions of tho seven¬

pi vee Hui. il lil.'-ly to do moro to sepa¬rate Russia from the rest of Europethan the Slavophils have ever been able*to do, for the Kaskovisu have tho sym¬pathy of tho Government and of Mos¬cow and the provinces, though not ofSt. Petersburg. This party is growingrapidly, to the almost entire extinctionof the liberal and progressive EoropeMparty. When I employ tho sTOrd" party " it is for want of a better one,for in this country thero can of cour.-eexist no party in the usual sense of theword, political life being almost abso¬lutely null.

There is not one particle of truth inthe sensational articles that appearedin some foreign gazettes averring thatIvan Axakoff died by poison, the vic¬tim of German intrigues. The samewas said on thc occasion of SkobelefPs<!cath. and there is not the shadow of a

pretext for such a supposition in eithercase. Everyone knows by this timewhere and how that hero came to histragic end, and as to Axakoif,be died of heart-disease. He knewhe was seriously ill, for thevery day before his death he lound ilnecessary to consult his physician, Dr.Salirian. ene of the Russian medicalcelebrities, and though the end was

sudden, there was nothing extraordinaryin a man suffering from heart-diseasebeing taken off in that way. IvanAxakoff must not be confounded withhis cousin, Alexander Axakoff, theRussian savant and spiritualist, whoworks so hard to place spiritualismupon a solid scientific basis.
