We end the following communication
from an "Irishman," in the Springfield
Register:
The Journal of this morning says that
Mr.. CullOm intends submitting bill for the
purpose of encouraging emigration to this
country. - q.
I I would ask the editors of the Journal
what encourag ement Is there for foreigner
TO emigfate 10 this country? Our debt 10
nearly as large as that of England, and our
annual interest more. We are the worst
tax-ridden people on the face of the globe
One half of our country is under military
rule, where negroes are superior to white
men, Niggers in this country can vote and
hold Office; white foreigners would be COM
PEELED, if the views of Gen. Palmer, the
bondholders' candidate for governor, were
carried out, to remain in this country fifteen
years before they would be placed on the
same equality with the niggers.

Burning Of the N0ta Theatre

The Turin gazette gives details OF the burning of
the Nota theatre in that place. The disaster oc-
Cured during the performance Of "Crspino e Ia
Comare" The house was crowded and the piece
had arrived at about the middle of the second act,
when the scream OF a woman was heard from be-
hind the scenes, followed by the noise Of hurried
footsteps and cry OF keep your places IL is no
things The clothes OF q female dancer had caught
IRE, and in her terror she had run about with her
skirt in blaze, and had thus set light to some drap-
cry at the wings; she was, however, firmly enveloped
in linen CLOTH and the danes of her dress were ex
tnguished before she had suffered any injury. The
alarm had, however, spread among the spectators,
and general rush was made to the doors; for q mo-
ment there great danger OF loss OF life from the
pressure. but some young men who were in the gal.
ley above and could see what was going on near the
stage called out that the fire was over. About
half OF the spectators then returned TO their
seats, while those who were nearest the
door left the building The, disaster had. In
as the canvas on IRE had been torn down and tram
pied under foot. But the danes had found in the
painted scenes and light woodwork an ament too
favorable, and the flames again appearing the panic
once more became general screams were heard on
all SIDES, several women tainted many persons
jumped from the windows on the staircase, and
every one made for the street. leaving behind hats,
shawls, umbrellas, &c. Fortunately the theatre had
been partly enptied at the first alarm, and every
was able to get away in safety.
The scene outside was most curious. The specta-
tors might be seen. some with bare heads and others
with clothes torn from their backs h1rryln2 10 and

actresses were in their costumes. while some Of the

The Imperial Budget, Deficit and Resources
Hot Weather.
From st. Petersburg we learn that all the Russian
journals have been occupied for some time with the
budget for 1868, which had been published. We ex-
tract some figures from the exhibit
The expenditure is augmented this year by
so 900, 900 rubes (seventyfve cents each) The pro-
erosion has been constant since 1862 At that date
the total Of the expenses was S4s 600 600 OF rubes
for 1884, 400 o00 600; for 1885, for 1891
40l O00 for 1897 40 0oo and now $50 0oo 00o
The Minister OF Finance points out that there Will be
this year. according to his estimate, an increase in
the revenue Of % 100000 rubles over last year.
This, however. is only hope; besides the fact
must be stated that the rise ia principally
furnished by the budget for the kingdom OF Poland,
which is for the first time merged into that OF the
empire. The rest is expected from the progress
SO often deplored by the Russian Journalism the
amounts TO 15h per cent on the ordinary income.
The augmentation applies TO all the ministries ex-
cept that OF Public instruction, which even under
goes Sigh drnnuton. The largest increase Is In
the War department which, from l2c 600 900 OF
blcs last year has risen TO l3l 900 600. The public
debt has for some years been ascending In the same
way. In 1869 its servi required 81, 900; this
year II is 76,500000. Together. the war. the navy
and the debt absorb more than sxty-nve per cent
OF the whole budget The deficit on the ordinary en-
pendture alone IL calculated for this year al twelve
and half millions, which will be covered by the
balance OF the Anglo Dutch loan OF 1885,
The RUSSIAN gazette OF ~. Petersburg states that
the excessive heat which prevailed for some weeks
caused cases OF spontaneous combustion In many
Localities. In The environs OF TsarskoeSelo and Pc

subterraneaB fires which are not without danger.
