The Trieste Gazette says that arrange
ments have been made for importing articles
from India to Russia by way of Suez and
Trieste, instead of by the Cape of Good Hope,
as hitherto. This new route will enable Indian
goods to be sent to Russia in from two to three
months less time than at present, and will,
therefore, probably cause large increase in
these imports
Inc visit of the Empress Eugene to Queen
victoria at Osborne, was made in almost per-
iecs secrecy. The little steam yacht Refine
Hortense bore her across the channel shortly
after midnight, and early in the morning
touched at Southsea, near Portsmouth. where
the Empress Landed, walked awhile on the
pier, and then quietly strolled to the hotel and
got breakfast She was not recognised at first,
but the news of her arrival soon got bruited
aboat, and the Mayor of Portsmouth ordered
the French standard to be hoisted. That
frightened her away again, and she returned
10 the yacht and steamed slowly ON to Cowes,
reaching Osborne House before Queen Victoria
knew OF her arrival The Queen received her
guest in the most affectionate manner. The
visit lasted only two days, and during much of
the time the royal party were driving or walk
ing out Of doors. The Empress returned it the
same unobtrusiye way in which she had come.

ARREST OF SUPPOSED PICKPnCKET.-Yes
terday noon Mr.. G. H. Chaplin, of Boston, who
/ came from that city in the morning train
while stepping on the platform of car for
Skowhegan was violently jostled aud crowded
by three men who were standing there. In
moment or two afterwards he discovered that
I his gold watch, worth $3.50, and chain, worth
$50, had been stolen. Special police officer J.
ID. Derrick was informed of the circumstances
and he entered the car, and on the route, be-
tween Cumberland and Yarmouth, arrested
Wesley r. Bailey, of Canaan, who was fully
identified by Mr.. Chaplin as one of the men
who had crowded him on the platform. OFF,
Ger Derrick brought Bailey back to the city and
committed him to the lock up. The watch and
chain were not found on him. but we learn
that lady passenger in the car says she saw
him pass them to comrade ''f
Bailey's story is that he had nothing to do
or knew nothing about taking the watch and
chain. He says he left California on the 3Oth
of July, where he has been for the past four
years, and slept at Loveioy's hotel in New York
Tuesday night. When arrested in the cars he
told the officer that he had no money, but upon
searching him some $50 were found. 81 gs6
There were four of these pickpockets arriv-

New York Politics.

The COpperheads of New York
have calculated on carrying that State
this Fall on the prohibition and Sun
day dictation issue. Having no pros
pect of success on national questions.
they have been industriously pushing
forward local questions involving the
right of the people to enjoy public or
private recreations and pastimes, and
to eat and drink what they like on
Sunday as well as on any other day.
They had reckened confidently on
the Republican Convention endorsing
the inquisitorial and impracticable
scheme of the prohibition advocates.
But the convention committed no
such blunder, but gave the Copper
head dead fall wide berth, and re-
solved to contest-the field on national
grounds. 1t wasunanimously resolv-
ed = that no person should by law be
deprived of the right to public or pri-
vate recreation or pastime on any day
OF the week; provided, that no per-
son in exercising1that right shall VIC
late public orderand decorum, or the
proper respect due to. public worship;
and that theS excise law and
all other existing laws be amended
accordingly. ~ This resolution ac-
cords with the Sentiments of all fair
minded men of all parties, creeds and
nationalities It is as much as the
strictest member. of any sect has a
right to demand ;sit is all that tolera-
ton of conscience requires. The con-
lstitution guarantees the right of pub
lie worship free of molestation or
disturbance, and every Republican
citizens insists up the enforcement of
this guarantee. The Constitut on also
protects n-conformists from COM
pulsory sectarian observances, and
forbids union Of church and State,
or the subordination of the civil to
the ecclesiastical authority. In no
country in the world do the churches
flourish so we'll as in the United
States, where the voluntary principle
prevails, and where every man wor-
ships God according to the dictates
of his own conscience; and in no por-
ton of the Unites States are the
principles of temperance so we'll OBJ
served as where their advocates en-
ploy moral suasion:instead of resort
Ing. to legal coercion and constables'
clubs wherewith to pound total absti-
nence into men.

A Specimen OF Frontier Life.

The Salt Lake Vedette details the
following bloody incident as COM,
mon-place affair: -. "a.
On Tuesday last terrible shooting
ARRAY took place in Echo Canon Two,
teamsters belonging to Kirkbat's
train got into a fight, and theH1arger
and stronger one getting the. other
one down. was beating him cruelty.
The smaller one cried ''enoughp but
his opponent still kept beating him.
Another teamster, whose notions of
fight were, that when a man surren-
dered, the thing should end, stepped
up, seized hold of the large man,
jerked him of, and at the same time
telling him that the other one had
called for quarter, and he had beaten
him enough. This aroused the i'm
placable enmity of the bruiser against
the intermeddfer, and drawing his
revolver, he shot him through the
head. At the same time number
three had got his pistol out and fired
