S6o'OOo square miles, and a population
OF some &. 900. Russian and native. II
n'.ades large numbsr of rather barren
islands, aud its Pacific coast-liue is per-
haPs 1900 miles in length. The maia-
land Is 8 vast plain. iutersectsd by rarges
Of rugged and lofty mountains, and but
little explored. The soil appears to be
rather scanty, and the climate, tempered
BY the Pacific currents. is about like that
Of Norway. It is heavily timbered in
some places. and We may safely assume
that the gold bearing formations of the
Pacific Coast extend into this region.
At present. this region ia valuable main
ly for its fars. The sea otter, sable. and
various other animals Of the sort, abound
drought the country. and the annual
product Of ne furs is enormous. The
fisheries will also be valuable some day.
The rapid rivers R1Sing down from the
mountains into the sea swarm With such
trout and salmon as no other part of the
world can furnish, and Goldfish also
abound near the coast. The sperm whale
is still abundant near Behring's Straits.
The Russian government has just cOd-
ed this vast territory to the United States,
the consideration being seven millions OF
dollars. This detached region ii is hard
for Russia to deferd, in case Of war, and
: it geographically belongs to the United
States. 1t is stated that the English min
lister is in great rage over this affair,
aud is preparing to protest against the
confirmation of the treaty. We trusl
that be will find this an exhilarating and
harmless amusement. Il is not likely
that his protests will trouble anybody Lu
himself.
This region will one day be inhabited
by race of hardy Yankee miners, trap
pers, Iumberers, and fishermen. Il vii

Guilty or not Guilty.
BYoH oHRIsToPHERA. SMITH.


Toward the close of q lovely spriug
day, a traveller emerged from copse bor-
deriDg the West. Comford road. and springs
ing over the stile, took the direction Of
Aspendale, village about two miles
distant. His dress was Of q superior or
DER and yet travel-stained and neglected.
A few yards behind him, but unobscr-
we'd by the former, came a peddler. The
two travelled on together some distance,
though the peddler. being an agei man,
gradually dropped behind. aud, at last. he
turned aside into lane, and the young
man proceeded alone.
He was a man of about eight or nine
and twenty but he looked rather older ;
for his face. though partially concealed
by thick beard, was pale and haggard.
Yet, for all that, he was handsome; but
though there was something in his aspect
and carriage that was graceful and easy,
there was at the same time something
about him repulsive; something danger
GUS in the expression of his dark. ever
vigilant, and somewhat bloodshot eyes.
There was something defiant about him
though for he seemed broken and sad.
Half an hour after be had leapcd the
stile, be entered the village Of Aspendale'
and, making his way to the Red Lion
seated himself in the tap.room, and called
for some brandy.
There were several persons in the room
who, after their FIRST stare at the stranger,
went on with their conversation without
noting him. .,,,.;.

the brandy, sat DOING in the corner. en-
