TRAVELLING IN RUSSIA writer in "Once

those who have not visited st. Petersburg to
form any idea of the petty Onnoyances to
which foreigner is subjected Cn his arrival.

subjects. He has then TO unGergo personal
examination at the bureau of the secret po-
lice and woe to him if he falter or make a
single false step or say anything that seems
inconsistent with his written and perhaps
forgotten declaration. If his examination
prove satisfactory to the police, he will re-
ceive passport at the Foreign Office This
precious passport system, now happily abol-
ished by the other Northern Powers is car
ried to absurd lengths in Russia; indeed il
you wished to invent a practical burlesque on
the principle of passports you could not do
better than adopt the Russian plan of sur
veillance. You cannot enter town, or sleep
at an inn, or even spend a night at a friends
house without a passport. You cannot
change your residence, even if you were go.

AN OUTRAGE. "A proceeding took place at

Nevada Democrat, which is characterized as
no better than an outrage A preacher un-
dertooll to pronounce funeral discourse on
.he death of a young lady, which is thus al
luded to by the Dispatch:
Her nearest relations and other friends
were present, and the preacher, in a manner
eyincing any sentiment but christian, or even
common human kindness, proceeded to har-
row the feelings of the mourners until the
mother of the deceased fell in fit and was
carried from the church. Previous to this
painful manifestation several of the congre-
CATION were so shocked that they went away
hearing as they departed the hoaFse exclai-
nation of the preacher: 81 can't help it, |
mnst tell the truth He said there was
ecareely glimmer hope that the sins of
the young woman were forgiven; that her
friends had no reason for believing that she
had taken place among the redeemed; that
short time before her death she accepted
an invitation to attend a ball, and oh ! he
hoped she was not now dancing in the ball

FROM ARtzoXA.-A correspondent of the
S. +. Herald writes as follows from Tucson,
Arizona, under date of January 3D.
"The recent proclamation of the Governor
of Sonora, opening the transit route TO and
from Guaymas to the Arizona line, has al
ready worked a marvellous change of busi-
ness affairs here. Several merchants have
ordered goods from San Francisco, direct,
and contracts are being entered into, at about
three cents per pound, from Quay mas TO this
place. Several of the mining companies are
making preparations to ship their ores to
San Francisco. and arrangements are to be
made to ship to England direct, from Quay
mas Capt Charles Il. Mowry IS about ship
ping from the Patagonia mine, one hundred
tons of silver ore, to San Francisco, and l
learn that Mr.. c. d. Poston proposes tc ship
a large quantity from the Heintzelman vein
These ores will convince the California capi-
talists, notwithstanding the great Washoe eX-
.citement, that Arizona presents fully as great
inducements for bona fide investment
The action of Mr.. Alvord, Superintendent
of the Overland Mail Company in breaking
up several stations between this point and
Mesia, mas already had very disastrous
effect The stages come in twenty and thir-
ty hours behind time, and the stock on the
road is getting thoroughly broken down, by
Ahe long drives of forty and Fifty miles, with
out change The Overland Company will
probably find that however "smart" stage
man may be ia New York, it is bad policy to
send him over this line with authority to
make changes in a system inaugurated by
men who learned staging in California, and
who have made the Overland Mail the great
success it has been thus far.

A New SENSATION FOR BAYARD TAyLoR.-
We clip the following from the S. F. Atlas ST.
Louis correspondence
In Brooklyn, N. f., on the evening of the
goth ult., BayaTd Taylor met with an ad-
venture. He delivered a lecture that even-
ing before the Mercantile Library Association
in the Brooklyn Athen@um. His subject was
"Man and Climate" In the course of his re-
marks he said
There was 30 race ever known who did
not possess some instinct Of individual rights
There was said to be class of savages in
Bulgaria who hang all their intellectual men
when they become too prominent, in order
to preserve the balance of equality and keep
the people at peace. In civilized countries
the practice was modified little, for they
only muzzle, instead of hanging them. An
instance of the latter method occurred few
days since at Philadelphia, when his (the lee
turers) friend, Mr.. G. W. Curtis, was muzzled
in this manner"
This created considerable excitement APP
plause and hisses greeted the lecturers ears.
At first the applause predomjnated, but the
Kisses rallying returned to the charge, and
for several minutes there was fearful con-
tct for the ascendency. At the end of five
minutes 1t was quite evident that the Misses
were in the majority, and both parties sub
sided
Mr.. Taylor then very quietly remarked, Il
thought | was too old traveller to have a
new sensation, but have now. | never be
fore have been Kissed publicly; but | must
say that to be hissed for advocating freedom
of speech is not so bad after alb" This reply
was received with mingled Kisses and ap-
plause, which was continued but for a mo-
mont and the matter was dropped by all.

A WAcER-A bet in 1910 is thus told of
Mr.. Prentiss, of Vicksburg. He had won as
wager, superb horse and buggy of Wm.
NJ. Gwin, Esq, Marshal of the Southern Dis
trict of Mississippi The horse was a mag
nihcent animal-spirited-ye docile and
practicable to such degree that he was COM
pletely submissive to "A female band He
was, of course, great favorite with Mrs g.,
for he would stand patiently at door during
the longest morning calls" without "let or
hindrance," and in obedience only to his own
"sweet will" The buggy, it is enough to
say was match for the horse. One morn
ing the horse and buggy were found by Mr..
Prentiss standing quietly before his office
door, He was told that they were his prop
erty. lie Immediately stepped into the We
hiele with friend, and drove, for an hour,
all over the city, aRpouncipg everywhere his
snccess lie then returned to his office, and
inditing a brief note to Mrs GwiH, begged
her acceptance of the establishment, to which
he was aware Of her attachment despatched

The sum pledged against the horse and buggy
was one thousand dollars.

NOTWITHSTANDING the horrible state of the
roads and the severity of the storm, large
meeting Of quicksilver miners was hold at
Healdsburg on Saturday last who were de-
termined that no obstacle should prevent the
ccnsummation of their long cherished scheme
of consolidation. They had been convinced,
10y costly experience, of the utter impractica-
bility of developing their claims singly and
that the value Of such claims was greatly di-
minisbed il not altogether destroy ed, by be-
ing cut up into rdicuously small proportions,
entirely inconsistent, indeed with the nature
and pecullarties of quicksilver nining. SO,
believing in the strength of Union, they wise
ly concluded TO consolidate and Il company
has thus been formed which comprises talent,
energy and enterprise enough to accomplish
whatever they may undertake
We learn that the fnanciers of the company
have been authorized to negotiate with capt
talists for a sufficient amount Of the "needful"
to insure speedy and thorough development
of the mines. No one who has visited them
can entertain doubt of their value, and there
is great encouragement to hope that the Gey-
ser quicksilver mines, in point of size richness
and location, may yet compare tavoratl ly
with any similar mines in this State, and be-
come new source of wealth and prosperity
to the people of this section.-Santa Rosa

THE Rev. A. S. Laurie had occasion to ex-
change pulpits with the Rev. E. II. Chaplin
of New York. Many members of Mr. Cha
pins congregation have an idea that nobody
else can preach sermon as well as their
pastor, and when they enter their church,
and find stranger occupying his place, they
are apt to turn and 90 out. SO it happened
on this occasion that not few persons de T.
parted, and others were on the point of doing
so, when Mr. Laurie arose, hymn book in
hand, and gravely remarked: "All those who
came here to worship E. H. Chaplin will have
an opportunity to retire, and those who came
to worship the Everlasting God will please

TIE New Coal FIELD OF MOUNT DIARLo=-
We had the pleasure last week, of meeting

boat boilers and all such furnaces. Second,
it can be easily got out and is but eighteen
miles from the Sacramento river at Martinez.
Third, food of all kinds is exceedingly CHEAP
and plentiful in the district. Forth, that al
ready extensive orders have been given for
coal Fifth, that it can be brought down to
San Francisco and sold for considerably less
less than the Vancouver, and other coal
Sixth; that many men are to be Immediately
