RUSSIA to its credit may be said to be
at least honest in it's preliminary dealings
with the Khivans. The St. Petersburgh
Globe says that the only issue of the
expedition to Khiva must be uncondi-
tional surrender on the part of the peo-
pie to Russian authority. In an abstract
point of view, touched slightly with Re-
publican fair dealing, we would call this
course decidedly despotic. But there
is one advantage about it. The Khivans
know exactly what they have to expect
if they resist the invading army. If
they bow to the commander and kiss the
ground at his feet, they may be able to
retain portion of their independence.
If they show fight, and refuse uncondi-
tional submission, they will be charged,
horse and foot, and Khiva will be intro
duced without delay to that peaceful
order, the memory of which still
"reigns" in Warsaw.

INFAMOUS Work BY VILE MEN.-The
most horrible facts have been brought
to our knowledge in reference to the ad-
vertisement of obscene publications. 1t
appears that lists of pupils in ladies' and
boys schools are obtained under false
pretenses, and then disgusting circulars
are forwarded to these pupils by the
manufacturers of obscene books. Mr..
Comstock has been working hard to
bring some of the offenders to justice,
and he has seized about ten tons of the
most loathsome printed matter ever yet
sent into the world to do the devils
work. In this city the miscreants who
gain living by this cursed trade are to
be counted by the score. Some of them
have already been indicted The Dis
trict Attorney can do much toward Sc
curing their punishment, and it is i'm
possible to imagine how he could be en-
gagged in better work.-NeW York
Times.
"A REVELATION OF THE PARIS OlEGE.
Shortly before the late war broke out,
the Emperor Napoleon tasted sample
of meat, and ordered sixty tons. When
the meat arrived in Paris his Majesty
had left to join the army, and the authori-
ties endeavored to get the agent to can
eel the contract. He refused, and was
asked to wait. He was in correspond
ence with the authorities when Paris was
invested. After the siege he came back,
fully expecting that the meat had been
consumed, and that his bill would be
paid. To his astonishment the meat was
intact. He found it stored in the Palais
de 'Industrie, which had served during
the first part of the siege as an ambu
lance, and which was afterward crammed
with Mobiles. A few cats and dogs
lives might have been spared if the popu-
lace had got scent of the store.-Paris

ToBaCco.-It is estimated that nearly
300, 900, 900, or about onefourth of the
entire human family, use tobacco. 1t is
used by men of every nation, civilized
and uncivilized, old and young, learned
and unlearned, rich and poor, saint and
sinner, Christian, Turk and heather.
Nor Pope, Prince, President or King
yields scepter over so wide an empire.
1t is computed that the whole number
of smokers, shutters and chewers con-
sumo 100000 tons of tobacco annually,
or 900, 900, 900 of pounds weight. The
expenditure of time, labor and money
laid out, one way and another, for to-
bacco, is prodigious. The aggregate of
all these that enter into the raising of
the weed the making of it into plugs,
snuff and tobacco the transportation !;
the buying and selling and using is a
problem for mathematicians that know
how to compute figures that rise beyond
millions.

BAD InPLURNCno OF GIRIs.--Out West little
boys steal photographs In order to keep IN the
good graees Of the girls. OF course it does
not matter who or what the photographs may
represent, the object being to get something

aged respective ten, eleven and twelve years,
have been arrested for theft of this character.
One of the youngest turned states evidence
and testified as follows:
'Sfhe boys sit with the girls, and the girls
don't like the boys unless they give them
presents. Bill Houston got lots Of things and
gave them TO his girls; be always has lots OF

A European View of the Panic.

It appears only prudent to calculate
that the most important ultimate effect
of the cricis will be the abolition of the
incOnvertible currency in America, and
a return to bullion basis there in some
form or other. The change would be
most difficult one, but Americans are
accustomed to sudden economic changes
which would appal other countries, and
we must not certainly conclude that
they will be deferred by the difficulties.
There is fair reason to apprehend, in
short, that the present American crisis
may only be the commencement of q
new stage in that appreciation of the
gold currencies of the world which we
believe to have commenced with the
steps taken in Germany to introduce a
single gold standard. We see in Amer
lea what great shock has just ensued,
according to good authorities, from the
increasing scarcity of a currency, and a
similar process applied during the next
two years to all the gold-using countries
will most probably be fruitful of diff
culties. One country in ordinary cir
oumstances can draw gold from another,
but the need threatened is universal,
and we fear it is but too likely to con-
tribute to dear money, low prices, and
depressed trade for many day to come.
1t is, of course, only possibility, how
ever, that the Americans will abolish
the inconvertibility of their paper cur.
rency. Should they not do so, the
gold now being shipped to America viii
certainly come back, and we shall also
obtain the usual supplies, which hav,
for some time been withheld. We shal
in that case be much better prep ret
than we otherwise would be for a re
newal of the G, rman demand. But
would hardly be safe to speculate O.
the Americans acting to their own ulti
mate detriment in continuing to use a
inconvertible paper currency.-LOpdO

Hickory BARK FOR CoroRNa.-I

HICKORY BARK FOR CoLoRNG.-Hick-
DRY bark will color a beautiful bright
yellow that will not fade by use. It
will color cotton and wool. Have the
bark shaved off or hewed off, and chop
ped in small pieces, and put in brass
kettle or tin boiler with soft water
enough to cover the bark, and boil till
the strength is out then skim out the
chips and put in alum. Have it pounded
pretty fine. For a pailful of dye I
should put in two good handsful, and
wet the goods in warm water so there
will be no dry spots on them wiring
them as dry as you can, shake them out
and put them into the dye. Have a
stick at hand to push them down and
stir them Immediately so they can have
a chance all over alike. If the color is
not deep and bright enough, raise the
goods out of the dye, lay them across a
stick over the kettle, and put in another
handful of alum. Stir it we'll and dip
again. IT will want to be kept in the
dye and over the fire to a scaiding heat
about an hour, but keep stirring and
airing so they will not spot.

THERE Is NO DEATH.-If it be true
that nature abhors a vacuum, it is equal
~ true that the great creator abhors
death and glories in life. There is re-
ally no such thing as death, the term is
misnomer, used to designate the chan
ges which occur in life. Life, eternal
life, is created by the laws of almighty
wilI-power, which are as immutable in
their application as is the existence of
the Creator himself. When God made
life, He made everything necessary to
sustain it, but left it for mans progress
sive intelligence to discover, convert
and utilize. Good medicine is to the
ailing physique what good fuel is to the
expiring fame the better the fuel, the
quicker the fire, the better the medi-
cine, the quicker comes relief from pain.
California Vinegar Bitters is life's elixir
for old or young. Use this medicine
properly and you will live to q good old
age without those physical ailments
which make seventy years a burden.

Unwise Philanthropy.

Fostering the good-for-nothing at the
expense of the good is an extreme cru
city. It is a deliberate storing up of
miseries for future generations. There
is no greater curse to posterity than that
of bequeathing them an increasing Opu-
lation of imbeciles and idlers and crimi-
nails. To aid the bad in multiplying is,
in effect, the same IS maliclously pro-
yiding for our descendants a multitude
of enemies. It may be doubted whether
the maudlin philanthropy which, look
ing only at immediate mitigatiOns, per-
sistently ignores remote results, does
not infict greater total of misery than
! the EXTREMIST selfishness inhicts. Re
fusing to consider the remote influences
of his generosity, the thOughtless giver
stands but degree above the drunkard
who thinks only of to-day's pleasure
and ignores to-mOrrow's pain, of the
| spendthrift who seeks immediate de-
lights at the cost of ultimate poverty.
In one respect, indeed, he is worse
since, while getting the present pleasure
produced in giving pleasure, he leaves
the future miseries to be borne by 9TH
ers-escaping them himself. And call.
ing for still stronger Reproduction is that
scattering of money prompted by mis-
Interpretation of the saying that "char
ity covers a multitude of sins" For
in the many whom this misinterpreta
ton leaves to suppose that by large do
nations they can compound for evi
deeds, we may trace an element of posi-
tive basensss-an effort to get a gooC
place in another world, no matter a
what injury to fellow-creatures.- Pooss

which are cut into thin boards for We
neering after reaching the United States

the trees and squaring the logs is done
by the natives in parties of thirty or
forty, the work beginning in August
and continuing until the last of Deem
Der. The trees are cut some ten or
twelve feet above the ground, stages
being erected for the purpose. AS the
accessible parts of the forest have long
ago been culIed, the cutting parties are
compelled to penetrate every year
further into the interior. They build
cabins for their four or five months so,

may, resting during the intense heat Of

who are willing to work.
