From the Barncsviile Enterpr.E
Tsa2 Shot.

We learn that man named Farrell
WAS shot in Henrysburg, last Monday
night. 1t appears that Farrell, while
intoxicated, came into YaNs' saloon and
demanded something TO drink. His or
der was refused, an alteration ensued,
which terminated by Yaus' shooting his
customer The ball entered the groin,
infnting serious injuries, but it is pos

Cable dispatches inform us that Russia has
at last advised Greece to accede to the propo-
sitions of the Conference of Paris The Greek
government, it is added, is likely to yield. 1t
must yield, we say. 1t cannot help it. From
the same source we learn that the conduct Of
the Spanish government towards the Papal
Nuncio has been condemned by all the foreign
representatives, with the single exception of
that of Russia. It now becomes more and
more apparent that If Russia is anything she
is anti-Catholic. Her antagonism to Rome
has long been well known. In this Greek and
Spanish quarrel 1t has been specially made
manifest Besides this IL must be admitted
that Russia is becoming year by year less and
less European. Her position is one Of isola-
ton. With Europe she has little sympathy !;
with Asia she has only the sympathy of the
conqueror. Russia, in fact, stands alone. Over
those immense regions which stretch from the
Baltic to the Pacific, and whence in olden times
emerged the hordes who trampled down the
worn out and corrupt empire of the Caesars,
she holds absolute control No such conquer
ing hordes can ever again destroy the civiliza-
ton Of the West. On the other hand, how
ever, Russia will give unity to the entire
north Of the Eastern hemisphere, and will
become controlling power in giving the new
civilization to Asia. Evidently Russia seeks
to work out her destiny in the East. England
is working there now and is already control
ling the millions of Hindostan. America is
touchinU A ala on her Eastern border Russia
however, in some respects has an advantage
over both Powers Her aggressive energy is
more religious than that Of any other Power,
and for that very reason success is more likely
to attend her. With Russia as her champion
the Greek Church bids fair to become the
religion Of one half Of Asia at no distant day.
Meanwhile her policy in Europe can only be
understood when It is borne in mind that she
is nothing ifnot religious and anti Catholic.

IMPORTANT DECISIONS BY THE UNITED STATES

in to-day's HERALD One Of them expresses
the opinion of the court that by true con-
struction Of the Internal Revenue law IL was
not intended to tax the incomes Of persons other
than citizens of the United States, wherever
resident, and Of residents, whether citizens or
not. 1t also limits the State jurisdiction to
impose taxes. The other decision holds that

Congress Aould practically initiate the build

ANOTHER FATAL NITRo-GLYCERINE ExPLo-
sIoS.-On Saturday morning, at rock blast
ing on the lebanon Springs Railroad, in South
Petersburg Rensselaer, county, three men
were killed by premature explosion Of nitro
glycerine md five were injured, one Of them,
at least, htally. If science can supply no
equally effective but less dangerous substitute
for this terrible material, and not even any
adequate protection against II, why should it
not be entirely disused? Not all its con-
veniences can counterbalance the dreadful loss
of life which it SO frequently occasions
