add to cart   close window

This article presents information on several socio-political developments around the world as of May 1, 1879. It is now estimated that the colored emigrants arriving at St. Louis have numbered 8,600 of whom, a very small portion had no means to carry them further on their journey to Kansas. George G. Bernard, the famous or infamous judge of the Supreme Court, so prominent in the Ring period in New York, died. The state of things in Russia is extraordinary and bids fair to grow worse. Arrests are being made on an immense scale, followed by deportations to Siberia, and a large number, on mere suspicion of liberal sympathies or opinions, and many through private malice.
