A Strange People Discovered in Eng
land.

Robert Ovens dream has become
reality in the New Forest, where an
elderly 'Flady of wealth and position -
has assembled about 130 men and wo
men to have them live as ct mmunists.
They occupy thirty-one acres, donated
for the most part by the lady, and, as
may readily be supposed, the large ma
iority of them are from the poorer
classes, AMI were very willing to accept
an offer which assured to them easy
times and full stomachs. The principle
on which the community is based is
that rich and poor alike shall give up all
they possess for the common behoof !;
yet one or two persons of means, sur
prising as that may seem, have joined
the community and complied with this
condition. No money is used except as
means of buying from the outer world
what the farm will not supply, and, as
the arm is not sufficiently productive
to feed the community, it seems evident
that the communists are using up their
capital. While the great principles of
liberty, equality and fraternity are in
force ia this earthly PARADISE, yet "they
are subordinate to another principle,
that of obedience" The mother" as
the patroness of the institution is called,
is supreme. and her bidding must be
done in all things She assigns the
tasks and labors of the day, and at her
magic word the whilom tailor must be-
come a cobbler, and the cobbler the
purveyor of meat. It will be readily
{ cen that this government will occasion
a precious deal of trouble when the
lady grows old and childish. The flow
ers, the sewing, the washing, the house
keeping and cooking are assigned to
different departments of the sisters,
and everything at present goes like
clock-work. All the women, young and
old, are dressed in plain bodice, short
skirt and trousers, which generally are
becoming to them. The hair floats at
will down the back. The men dress
with the greatest plainness and neat
ness, and music is the chief art and
recreation of the community, which, it
should be said, holds no new or "ad-
vanced" notions on the marriage ques-
ton, and, therefore, is not regarded by
the neighbors as immoral and objection

A Little Game EXPLAINED.

Mr.. Devoy is a corr espOndent of the
San Francisco Chronicle who is ranging
around among the blackleRs ,Gn the line
of the Central Pacific railroad and tell
ing anecdotes about them in h5 paper.
Devoy lately told a little story of a
three. card monte robbery at Elko, Ne
vada. Some fellow jumped off the train
to get cup of coffee, but changed his
mind when he saw drunken miner In
the eating house tossing about some big
nuggets of gold after the manner of a
iuggIer. The fellow did not win the
gold from the drunken miner, but, on
the contrary, lost 5000, pair of lady's
bracelets and his cup of coffee upon the
turn of the card. The drunken miner
was not drunk, and was not a miner,
but is Johnny Roach, noted gambler,
who is working the road, prOsperously
plying his profession. The cOrrespon-
dent insinuates that the employees of the
road are in partnership with the gamb-
lers, and run the trains and scalp the
passengers in the interest of the human
vultures of the wild region through
which they pass. At this Johnny Roach,
the supposed drunken miner, rises to
explain, and defends the employees of
the road from the base insinuatiOns of
the correspondent. He says, moreover,
that the newspaper story of the "over-
land robbers" is an internal lie, and
promise to convince Mr.. Dewey of it at
some future lime. Roach only wants
truth and justice in relation to his little
game, and writes like an honest, up
right and influential citizen of Nevada.
Probably Mr.. Dewey will get out OF that
region before he allows himself to be
convinced that he has slandered Johnny
Roach and the railroad employees.

An Interesting Event.

We all remember that thrill of an
guish ran up and down the spinal col
Hmn of the American people when q
certain announcement was made soon
after the marriage of Edinburg to the
czarina. We all know how the daughters
of Columbia arose as one man and in
dignantly cast back the foul allegation
into the teeth of the alligator, whoever
he or she might be. Now, however, we
have the pleasure to announce that it is
all right. England is not absolutely
starving for lack of royal family, but
will probably be inclined to welcome
this Anglo Cossack little stranger, as
Mrs. Edinburg's papa is rich and care
less, and will be very likely to come
down with something handsome on the
occasion. 1t is interesting to know also
that the cherub has been born, if not
with G. silver spoon in its mouth, at
least with half dozen in the cupboard,
and will not be absolutely destitute of a
mug. This is from reliable authority.
Edinburg from this time will have to
give up his dge-meetipgs and private
smokes in the club snuggery and con-
duct himself as beeometh the father of
a family and the sire of a secondhand
Romanoff. Tha czarina is reported to
be a great stickIer for the proprieties of
life, like Victoria, and between them
both the outlook for Edinburg is not so
festive as it might be. However, there
is one comfort, his mother-in-law can't
STAY with him forever, which will at
least take from him the temptation to
follow the Romanoff example and put a
little cold pizen in his old lady's tea
pot.-tSt. Louis Republican.
