STREET WORSHIP IN RUssIA.-There is no
place IN the world where man with a very
small capital can easier gain ifnot an honest, at
all events competent livelihood, than in Mos
cow. All be has to do is to spend few rou-
bes IN the purchase of a grmy and obscure
SAINT on canvas, with tin or gilt glory round
his head. and new frame; to find out DOOR
way OF an arch near thoroughfare where he
can place his masterpiece on table, and get
room for himself on a chair. and there, with
wooden basin Or an old cap as money box, sit
patiently till his customers come; they are not
long in arriving Behold, here is muiik COMING
to market; the picture catches his eve: he likes
1t; he makes few inquiries about it from the
proprietor, who assures him that the saint has
great interest In the very highest quarters, and
has done an immense deal of good to all his eli
ents. The muJlk is satisfied; off goes his can
and down bends his head, while his hands bust
ly wander from chest to brow in self benedic
ton; his wild locks fly over his face and bob
back again, as with increasing fervor he utters
his prayers to the obfuscated image before him.
" hen he thinks he has made favorable i'm
preston, he puts his hand in his pocket, drops
a few copecks into the saints treasury, and goes
on his way rejoicing. Surely" said to a
RUSSIAN, "these poor people ought to be the
best IN the world, they say so many prayers =
'Ah! the gamins," replied he, ssau contraire,
they have need Of all their prayers, they sin so
much; and these saints listen so readily, that
'hey are encouraged to commit all kinds Of

IRELAND.-The commissioners report con-
siderable increase of arabic land in cultivation,
and decrease of the rural population to the ex
tent OF lO4 persons to the square mile of ara
bic land, and of So persons to the square mile
of entire area-the general decrease being at
the rate of forty nine persons to the square mile
The decrease OF the rural population has been
greatest in Leinser Seventeen towns had
sunk from the civic to the rural rank in ten years,
while only four had risen from the rural to the
civic. The only county which had increased
in population is that of Dublin.
The actual difference between the number of
the poptthtion in 1871 and in 85l is stated at
l,622,759 persons or nearly 90 per cent; but,
applying the ordinary rate ofincrease, as it may
be fairly applied, the computation exhibits the
alarmingly enormous loss to the Irish popua-
ton of 1886, 4l4 individuals, that is to to say,
the totaln now amounts to 6, 552, 385 souls, while,
under ordinary circumstances, it would have
been calculable, five years age, at more than
s, ooO,o 00. The tables Of emigration, extend

MAJ. DoNELsoN.-Mr Clayton, Secretary
of State, under Gen. Taylor wrote to Maj.
Donelson announcing the expiration of the
diplomatic relations between the United States
and Germany (where Maj. D. was stationed)
and closed with the following complimentary
expressions:
:" am directed by the President to express
to you his entire appreciation of your conduct,
and | cannot take leave of you in your public
character without adding my testimony to
that of the President to the ability and faith
fulness with which you have discharged the
arduous and delicate duties which your mis-
sion imposed upon you"

Monetary and Commercial.

THURSDAY, A. Mooney market was
again quiet to-day and its general features
were unchanged. There is no pressure in the
demand and currency is slowly increasing in
supply; Eastern Exchange remains firm at
1a@A premium.
The Indiana Banksare Certifying themselves
with silver coin-qparters and halves-with
which they propose, hereafter, to redeem their
currency. This will annoy the asserting
Brokers. and render the business Of returning
notes for redemption inconvenient. The Bro
kers contend that silver is not legal tender
but the Bankers. regard it differently, and are
we understand, determined to give it q trial
If it shall prove a legal tender. and the Bank
ers persist in redeeming their paper in all ca
ses with this coin, it will go great way to-
wards breaking up the asserting business.

REPORTED BY UP TOWN, ESQ.

RUNAWAY AND SMASH UP.A0n Friday
evening, horse attached to a buggy standing
near the depot, pretended to take fright at
nothing, only as a. pretext for a frolic on his
own hook. After performing divers and sun
dry evolutions, and describing series Of di-
minishing concentric circles, much to the as
constituent of other horses near BY and the
disnay of lady and child, who stood perfectly
petrifed with horrorn the centre towardwhich
the animal seemed to be tending; the whole es-
Enlistment brought up suddenly against To-
Gust tree, presenting all at once, to the spec
tators the melancholy spectacle of the frailty
of one horse bugges. After the performance
was over. Mr.. Horse stopped, turned, and de-
liberately gazed on the scene of ruin, with a
countenance expressive of infinite satisfaction
that seemed to say, whats up ?" to which
the dilapidated vehicle replied in mournful
tones, "a smash up
PETTY ENY-IMPosITION.-W wish to
call the attention of the readers of the Evans
vile Enquirer il there are any, to an imposl-
ton practsed on them in Saturday mornings
issue, by the acting editors Of that paper, in
purloining two articles from an exchange, one
in relation to prosecution against R. G. Bray
for perjury, and the other entitled Robbery OF
Mail Bag" which articles appeared in the
Enquirer as editorials, and in such manner
as to lead persons, particularly strangers, to
believe that the circumstances alluded to- oc-
CURED in this city. The mere fact of appro-
priating the literary productions of others, as
ones own, is, in itself, an unerring indication
of mental weakness. But when those appro-
priations are made without even sufficient dis
elimination to shield the depredator from de-
lection, the verdict must necessarily be-uttel
fermentation.
FINED.-John Krats was fined by Recorder
Mills, so cents, for leaving his team unhitched
in the streets, contrary to law.
OF The sale of lots on Saturday did not
go off as brskly as was anticipated. The two
lots sold by Mr.. Alls, brought, for the corner
one, S58 per foot, and for the one adjoining
$50 per foot Two lots situated on Walnut
street. corner Of Market, sold by Esq. Rowley
brought $500 for the corner, and 1915 for the
lot adjoining.

5000 REWARD Governor Wright offers a
reward of two hundred dollars for the appre-
hension of one Reuben B. Williams, who, on
the 1st day of May. 1885, in the county Of
Harrison, and State of Indiana, committed the
crime of murder and robbery upon the person
of one Benjamin Miller, under circumstances
of great malignity and atrocity. Williams is
described as being about % or 26 years old,
about feet inches in height, weighs about
125 pounds, leans forward in walking, with
his face toward the ground light blue or grey
eyes, rather prominent nose, hair rather light
bad countenance-seldoml looks person in
the face. Williams has probably gone to Chi
cago, H., or the southern part OF Kentucky.
