Mr.. Eugene Schuyler, the Secretary of le-
CATION whose report caused such commotion
in Russia, is OF opinion that the northern
empire is not to be credited with any deep
laid policy of conquest and extension in Asia,
and that so far from desiringa conflict with
England in India there is great anxietyon her
part to avoid all causes of irritation. Her
policy drifts with circumstances, and the for
ward movements she makes are rendered
necessary by border disturbances and by de
sire for the security of her own territory. Still
the boundaries of the two powers are nearing
each other, and conflict, sooner or later, is
inevitable.

The Lord family in New York are feeling
very unhappy. Right on the heels of the
developments in regard to canal frauds
comes the account of stupendous swindlt
in connection with the Rochester water
works. This undertaking is under the man
agement of the same men who are the lead
ing spirits of the canal ring.

ENCOURAGING reports come from Georgia
relative to the success of tea culture. The
plant grows about three feet high, and yields
about three ounces of tea. The leaves are
picked aud dried in the same manner that
sage leaves are cured. This is much differ
ent from the Chinese manner, but very good
tea is said to be the result.

IT is curious fact that three-quarters of
the indemnity paid to Germany by France
pay for French products-said products being
chiefly led and white wine. Now if the
Germans didn't drink they would have saved
their money. don't YOU see?

THE partisan registry law passed by the
last Democratic legislature of Connecticut
accounts for no inconsiderable por-
ton of the Democratic majority
in that state. The Hartford Courant
says the law opened the way to all sorts oi
frauds. The Democracy also made many vo-
tiers by means of the naturalization mills at
Hartford and New Haven. Indeed nearly
one hundred votes more than Mr.. Landers'
entire plurality In his district were secured in
the sixth ward in Hartford by means of nat
uralization. A significant fact is that the
Democratic majority for governor is much
greater than that for congressman.

IT appears from General Terry's report on
the grasshopper ravages in Minnesota that
9,154 persons are destitute. In Dakota 5000
people have applied for aid. The appropria-
tion of 100000 will be used to furnish food

THERE appears to be quite number OF
gentlemen in the Barkis mood respecting the
candidacy to fill the vacancy existing in the
Bangor district for Congress. Indeed, the
statement might safely be made a little
Stronger. 1t is reported that Mr.. Hamln's
friends state that some man from Penobscot
will be taken to fill the term for which Gen.
Hersey was elected, and among the candi-
dates are Gen. Plaisted and Hon. Isaiah Stet-
son of Bangor, and Hon. Josiah Crosby OF
Dexter. Mr.. Powers informed gentleman
in this city, a few days since, that he would
not be caeddate in the convention.

FAST DAY without game of ball is much
like Thanksgiving without turkey or Fourth
of July without fire-crackers. So to-day
throughout tie State of Maine will be re-
garded as no kind of day, for the tardy
snow refuses to vacate the roads and fields in
order to make way for the boy with the ball
and bat. There will be fewer broken fingers
than usual when the sun goes down.

THE great Lick property will probably be
wasted in actions at law. The trustees OF
the deed of trust claim that the disposal OF
the property was irrevocable, and choose to
go to law rather than give up the trust. Mr..
Lick says that he has suffered torture from
the agents of benevolent societies to which
he had not made benefactions. They were
continually at his bedside importuning him
to amend the deed so as to include them.
One of the reasons for the revocation was
the evident determination OF his relatives to
test the validity Of the deed in court.

the house in such u condition OF
merriment as it enjoyed.
The orchestra had, as said just
! opened the overture. The actors
were below in their dressing rooms,
preparing for tho rise of tho curtain.
Inc stage was sot in readiness for

crash was heard that shook the on.

in front of tho house. Noises of
this kind, made by falling scenery
and such things, arc not uncommon,
and no attention was paid to it below.
One 'ctor called out, "Tho stoam.
boat has exploded too soon." An.
other remarked, "rboy ate crowding
IN 30 fast, that they have to oome Q

Guitar remarks were made. Those
on the stage, however. were aware ia

and had fallen to sleep. The flrst
notes Of the orchestra had awakened
him, and he had risen to como down
to attend to business. 1t was pitch

gone IN the wrong direction, and ac
