Triumph of an American Prima Donna in
Russia.

It will not only be the friends, but the le-
zion of people in this country who have heard
Annie Louise Gary sing who will rejoice to
hear that she has made a most unqualified
and enthusiastic success in Russia. She
made her debut at thu Imperial Opera House
in Moscow last Thursday evening, selecting
the role of Azucena in "Il Trovatore." A
cable dispatch says that the enthusiasm was
very great, that she received many floral
gifts, and was called before the curtain nine
times during the evening, it being the grand
est ovation ever received by an American art
list in Russia.
Those who know Miss Carys persistent and
conscientious devotion to her art, the misgiv-
inos with which she went to Russia, and the
fears that she would not satisfy the tickle and
somewhat fastidious Russians, will heartily
rejoice over her success. and the whole peo-
pie will receive the announcement OF her re-
markable success with large degree OF pride,
from the fact that she is the first native-born
and purely American artist who has sue
ceeded on Russian soil. 1t emphasizes the
statement which has more than once been
made in the Tribune of the future possibilities
of the American prima donna.

The Dummy Trunk.

A new device to facilitate robberies at rail-
way depots has lately been successfully prac-
ticed on the public. Some ingenious person,
it appears, has hit upon way by which
trunk can be made to steal another trunK'
and portmanteau to annex It's ieuoW. LII
the adventures of Sinbad the Sailor we are
told how the merchants got at the precious
stones in the valley of the diamonds. Inc
merchants threw down pieces of meat, which
fell on and absorbed the diamonds the eagles
S vooped on the pieces of meat and Hew with
them to the upper air the merchants shot the
eagles with arrows and thus got at the meat,
the eagles and the Jewels. SO, we read, the
the plunderers at the Runway depots Lay
trunk artfully contriyed on smaller trunk;
the latter clings to the former, and the owner
of the larger carries both away. The decoy
trunk is said to be fitted with false bottom,
which goes up when it is laid on smaller
trunk, and with mechanism inside which does
for the innocent trunk what Polonius recon-
mended to Laertes to do for his friend, and
orappIed it to its heart with hooks OF steel.
In fact, the decoy trunk-we do not know
how better to describe it's made to perform
an Office like that of certain flowers, winch
suddenly close at the pressure OF ny or otner
insect within their cup, and imprlson 1t there.
Tt would be well if the ingenuity OF detec-
tiyes kept pace with the progress IN ingenious
contrivances to perpetrate robberiss at the
depots, where they are increasing SO fast, and
have become such an evil of late. It is GER
tain, however, that the dodge OF the trunk
will not explain all these robberies. In some
cases valuable articles have been taken out,
and articles of the same bulk but less value
nut in This sort Of jugglery does not look
fike the business OF the ingenious trunk
The trunk, in fact, means open robbery; but
there goes on good deal Of pilfering, which
must be done by less accomplished class OF
x,fHo. dorc

A sleepy Horses Time.

[From the Waverly Qowa) Republican,
At the Dubuque fair sleepy, poor, homely
horse, called Lothian, was entered IN every
race. He began by taking the 3:l5 race, then
3 minute, 2:50 2:40, and won two heats OF the
2:35 race, when protest was entered that he
had better record than the race he was
trot.ing in. His driver denied the soft i'm
parchment and challenged proof. The judges
called him up to the stand and swore him.
About this time he had got his wrath up, and
swore he would show them trick worth look
ing at In the third heat he let the sleepy
horse out and distanced the whole field easily,
cutting all others out of the chance Of second,
third and fourth money.
The swearing of the army in Flanders YVES
nothing to be compared to those horsemen
who were looped. The air got SO hot that Lo-
THAR and his driver lit out in the night with
several thousand dollars pulled from the
greenies who played with him. During the
selling of pools the owner bought the field 81
against S. and in the end scooped the whole
business. The query is, "Who is Lothair,
and where did ne come from ?" Nobody
knows further than the owner said he came
from Canada. At all events he cut the teeth
of the sharpest horsemen in the State, and
did il so handsomely that they did not dis
cover it until he had got their money and was
gone

The fortune of Gen. Grant is now no less
than million dollars, and is still growing.
In 1860 it was less than nothing, and he was
drinking poor whisky out of his allowance Of
seven hundred dollars q year. His present
wealth might perhaps be used by moralists
as a text to illustrate the benefit of honesty
and economy.-N 7. Sun.

She was fisherman's widow. His smack
had gone down in darkness and tempest, and
SO had he. Morning, noon and night she
paced the beach for some memento of him.
She saw the shining sands stretched far away.
She watched the sea birds come and go. She
heard the legend of the waves, and that was
all. And yet it wasn't. One golden eve,
with heaving breast and starting eye-balls,
she espied bottle dancing toward her on the
pillows. 1t came within her reach. She
clutched it eagerly, chewed out the cork put
the muzzle to her mouth, found not drop OF
whisky in it, and dropped like iiieless lump
upon the shore. And SO they found her,
working the sand with her toes.

A frightful catastrophe has befallen large
party of pilgrims to the Mahalingam shrine,
on the Tinnevelly frontier in Indis. They
were camped in the dry bed of torrent at
the base of the shrine one Sunday evening.
Thousands of men, women and children were
talking, or eating, or dancing in the sandy
bed hundreds Of sheep and fowls, brought
up to be sacrificed, stood in mournful groups,
each awaiting its turn. At o'clock there
was heavy shower of rain, but the multi
tude stirred not; ten minutes later the
hitherto dry bed was full, and the freshet
rushed down headlong. carrying with it
those Who not outstanding all their fran
tic efforts to gain the bank, could not
force their way through the crowd. The
water did not gradually rise, else the people
would have escaped; but wall of water came
down Unexpectedly, and rendered any at
tempt of the rear ranks to gain the shore
problematical. In half an hour the water
had fallen considerably, and one hour after
the catastrophe there was no water in the bed,
only the surface was wet and slippery. Many
dead bodies intercepted by roots and bushes
were picked up. Some were found damned
between stones; and only very few of the
ill-starred lot saved themselves by catching q
friendly bough. 1t is believed that over 2OC
men, women and children must have perished

The Electoral Votes Of the Sou tn.

The disingenious opponents of the pro-
lection bill pretend that its object relates to
the Presidency, and cite the declaration OF
the National Republican,: "The passage OF
this bill is required to preserve to the Re
publican party the electoral votes of the
Southern States"
The plain import OF this declaration is
utterly distorted, and the purpose of the
bill shamefully misrepresented, by these I'M
candid critics. What the declaration means
and what every critic knows il means, is
Just this: On fair vote, without fraud
or terrorism, several of the Southern States
are undoubtedly Republican; the White
League openly aims by intimidation and
crime TO capture every one OF these States
the Republican party wants nothing but
what fairly and rightfully belongs to it
and in order that it may have what belongs
TO it, and that the White League NAV be
prevented from defrauding it and murder
ing citizens, ii is necessary TO pass this bill.
We say every critic knows that this was
the plain meaning of the language, and that
the construction which some of them have
put upon it was palpably false.
As Horace Greeley said to the Ku-Kl lux
conspiracy IN 1871, this White League con-
spiracy is designed to carry the South for
the sham Democracy in 1876 by terrorism
SO pervading and systematic as to drive half
the blacks from the polls or constrain them
TO vote the ticket they abhor" In the
judgment of our. Independent and Demo-
cratic critics, it is all right for the White
League TO enter upon such undisguised po-
litical conspiracy; but if the Republican
party shows any disposition to protect these
blacks and in doing so secures only what
fairly belongs to it, then it is horrible Out
upon such miserable cant and hypocrisy !!

derness for these young iends led the French
authorities to let one of them loose on suf
fering community. In this case the criminal
was seventeen years of age and his victim
only eleven. The murderer, Whose name
was Edward Henry, induced boy named
Pierre Marianne to break open a closet in
his parents house, to take therefrom 900
francs in gold, and TO place the sum
thus acquired in his hands. I.uring
the poor child on the banks of the Seine he
strangled him with the cord he had prepar-
ed Tor the purpose, threw the body into the
river, adjourned to drinking shop and
took glass of rum, and then went quietly
home. Part OF the money he gave 10 his
mother, who was his accomplice and ad-
wiser throughout, and with the rest he pur-
chased new clothes and jewelry and theater
tickets. 1t was proved on the trial that he
had always professed to he very fond of
poor little Pierre, whom he used to caress
and call his little god-son. The cold-blood-
ed young assassin only escaped the death
penalty, which he so richly deserved. by
reason OF his youth. l fear in America he
would have been acquitted and restored to
shuddering community to shed more in
nocent blood, and to end at last as he
should have done at first-on the scaffold.

TRAMPLED To DEATH

to those who were conscious The police
and firemen were on hand with their usual
promptness. Some of the wounded were at
once removed to Sweenys Hotel, where the
reading room was placed at the disposal OF
the suffering. Here two of the victims sue
cumbed. Others were carried directly to
the Park Hospital, where every attention
was paid to the injured. The scenes in the
suffering hospital were heart-rending.
Many OF the victims were almost unrecog-
nizable, trampled out of human shapeness.
Old and young who had relatives in the
congregation thronged to the scene of the
catastrophe anxiously inquiring after miss
ing relatives. Some Of the scenes enacted
would touch heart of stone: and to a late
hour last night the hospital doors were be.
seiged with anxious inquirers. According
to ths latest accounts five persons had sue
cumbed, and two were not expected to sur
vive until morning. In addition, some
thirty wounded persons were brought to the
hospital, many OF them grievousiy injured.
Those whose wounds were slight were con-
veyed TO their homes, and we have.
therefore, no means of discovering how
many persons were injured.-Ner York
