The Germans in Russia.

THE Germans of the Baltic provinces
have played a part in the Government of
Russia strangely disproportioned to their
numbers. They have been the civilized
few among the uncivilized many; the
Governors, with an Unborn and carefully
trained aptitude for governing, in the
midst of nation too backward to do
much toward governing itself They
have supplied Russia with almost the
whole of the machinery of its administra-
ton. And yet even nov, when peace and
prosperity might have been supposed to
have greatly augmented their numbers,
there are said to be only 100000 of them
altogether. 1t is therefore astonishing to
find how very large part of the highest
official work is done by Germans; how
many are the civil and military posts they
hold, and how the number Of Germans
employed increases the higher and more
scientific is the work to be done. For
example, both civil and military engi-
neering appear to be almost completely in
their hands.
bOtu luGlE 6mlU6uCe anu TIC uISlluCl-
ness Of their position were symbolized in
their eyes and in Russian eyes by the three
provinces being placed under the govern
ment Of Governor General. On the re-
cent death of a Governor General it was
announced, to the horror and consterna-
ton Of the Germans, that they were not to
have Governor General any more. An
intense jealousy of the Germans has long
pervaded Russian society, and has in
creased every year with the advancing
civilization of Russia This feeling among
Russians has grown so strong that the
Emperor has thought it prudent to yield
to it so far as to do away with the Cover
-Generalship Of the provinces as being
a symbol of superiority and independ-
ence.
He has indeed softened the blow by
addressing to the deputation from the
provinces a speech Of an unusually formal
and solemn character, in which he assured
his hearers that the abolition of the Office
meant nothing, and that the wishes of the

was offered. The Silver bill was further con-
sidered, and an amendment was offered by Mr.
Sherman. In the House the Conference Com
mittee on the Deficiency Appropriation bill re-
ported recommending that the Senate recede
from three of its amendments, and that the House
concur III three others, which report was agreed
to. The Legislative Appropriation bill was fur
ther considered.
On the 9th, the report of the Conference Com
mittee on the Deficiency bill was adopted in the
Senate. The impeachment trial was begun at
1890 o'clock, and a motion was made and ar
gued that the trial be postponed till the first
Monday of December next; which motion, after
retiring fer consultation, the Senate denied Ad-
journed, the pending motion being that the evil
3ence relative to the question of jurisdiction be
given before the arguments were heard relative
thereto. In the House, the Senate amendment
to the bill defining the tax on fermented or malt
liquors was agreed to. A Constitutional amend
ment introduced and referred authorizing
the President to approve disapprove of sep
arate clauses or provisi ons of bill. The Legis-
lative and Executive Appropriation bill was
amended in Committee of the Whole and reported
to the House.

MIR. PeduncIe and His Cow.

Mr.. PEDUNCLE went out to milk the
other day. Now, if there is one thing
Mr.. Peduncle prides himself upon, it is
his perfect command of COW. With his
bucket on the ground, he milks with both
hands, and sings meanwhile, occasionally
bestowing word of warning upon the
COW if she whisks her tail at him or tries
to scratch her back with her hind foot.
On this occasion he had nearly finished
and was singing cheerfully:
'My soul $50, nowD be on thy guard.
(What in the Egyptian sand hills ais this
cow?)
"Ten thousand thunder and borax!
stand stillD foes arise''-
And as Mr. Peduncle raised himself up
from the barn floor and wiped the milk
out of his ears and nose, he saw up in the
loft the wife of his bosom with long
switch in her hand, with which she had
been tickling the gentle animals nose,
and she said in an awful voice:
"OliVer Peduncle, l reckon you'll wrap
your old tobaccO-box in my handkerchief
again, next Sunday, won't we ?-and have
me to take it to church and sling it out on
the foor-hey?'
When he milks now, Mr.. Peduncle
sings very softly, indeed, and keeps one
eye on the loft.-Ch5cago Courier.

ages, the majority being children from
four to fourteen years of age. They were
in terrible condition, their bones pro-
truding, and being in a most famished
and disgusting state, rendering it incredi-
bic to think they were human beings en-
dowed with reason at ALL Two hundred
had started ten days before the boats cap
tured her, but seventy-eight had died from
starvation on the passage, and been thrown
overheard like dogs. The Briton's men
gave the Captain Of the dhow four dozen
with a good ropes end for striking a
slave after they had captured the vessel,
and on sighting the ship he jumped over
board and was drowned, probably fearing
a repetition of this wholesome lesson.
This is slight idea Of the suferings the
Brlton, in her cruise, saw on the coast.
During her cruise on the coast of Africa
the boats attacked and destroyed the slave
trading village of Kionga, where the in
habitants had murdered a sub-lieutenant
OF the Daphne in u most treacherous man
ner, coming behind him whilst seated in
the chiefs hut, driving a steel-headed
spear through his back, and hacking him
with swords till dead.-Licerp00I Mercurg.

The Presidents Message VetOing the
Salary Bill.

THE following is the message Of Presi
dent Grant vetoing "An act fixing the
salary of the President of the United
States:''
To the Senate of the United States
Herewith [ return Senate bill No. 172. en-
titled IAN act fixing the salary of the Presi-
dent of the United States" without nv ap-
proval. [ am constrained to this course from
a sense of duty to my successors in office, to
myself, and to what is due to the dignity of
the position of Chief Magis trate of a nation
of more than forty millions of people.
When the salary of the President of the
United States was fixed by the Constitution
at $4,000 per annum, we were a nation of
but three millions of people, poor from a
long and expensive war, without commerce
or manufactures, with but few wants, and
those cheaply supplied. The salary must
then have been deemed small for the respon-
sibilities and dignity OF the position, but JUS
tifably so from the impoverished condition
of the Treasury and the simplicity it was de-
sired to cultivate in the Republic. The sal
airy of Congressman under the Constitution
was fixed at Sc per day for the time actually
in session, an average of about 100 DAYS to
each session, or S720 per year, or less than
one-thirtieth of the salary of the President
CongressmeE have legislated upon their own
salaries from time to time until finally it
reached $4,000 per aunum, or one-fifth that
of the President before the salary of the lat
ter was increased.
No one having a knowledge of the cost of
living at the National Capital will contend
that the present salary of Congressman is
too high, unless j. be the intention to make
the office one entirely of honor, when the
salary should be abolished-a proposition
repugnant to our republican ideas and insti-
tutions. I do not believe the citizens of this
Republic desire their public servants to serve
them without fair compensation for their
services. The sum of $25, 900 does not defray
the expenses of the Executive for one year,
or has not in my experience. 1t is now one
fifth in value what it was when fixed by the
Constitution in supplying demands and
wants.
Having no personal interest in this mat
ter, have felt myself free to return this
bill to the house in which it originated with
my objections, believing that in doing so
meet the wishes and judgment of the great
majority of those who indirectly pay all the
salaries and other expenses of the Govern
ment. U. s. GRANT.

Some MIce Nests.

MICE sometimes choose very odd places
in which to set up their small housekeep-
ing. A lady one day took down large
loaf of bread, baked the day before, to cut
up for her children's dinner. She found
little hole in one side which she follow
ed up, and there, snug in the heart OF the
bread was mother mouse and nine little
mice. She had torn into shreds leaf OF
a copy book, for the bottom of the nest,
and when they got hungry they could
just fall to and eat their bedclothes!
Another person, in pulling a large
turnip in his field found the inside neatly
followed out by field mouse, and a
stock OF lima beans laid in for winter pro-
visions.
A Cleveland mouse did worse mischief
than that. He chewed up two hundred
dollars worth OF greenbacks, and made a
bed Of them. But, alas, the arsenic in the
green color did not agree with him. He
was found dead in his bed.

4 Texas Heroine.

THERE was batch of convicts from
some interior county-seat awaiting the
departure of the Great Northern cars to
convey them on their melancholy journey
to the prison walls Of the Penitentiary at
Huntsville Among the rough, unshaven
and crime-steeped physiognomies that
scowled from beneath greasy and tattered
slouched hats, amid the clanking of their
letters and chains, was the rather hand
some face Of young man, whose open
features betOkened no traces of the brand
ed felon.
Near him stood-a strange companion
for such a crowd-a fair young girl,
scarcely past her fourteenth year, whose
long hair flowed down over her Shout
ders that had not yet felt the weight of
time, and whose countenance was liv-
ing photograph Of innocence and girlish
beauty.
Upon inquiry it was ascertained that
the young man had received two years
sentence for marrying a girl under the
age prescribed by law after swearing that
she was of legal age, and that with the
lofty and sacred devotion of a true hero
ism his youthful bride, despite the entreat-
les of friends, was following him to his
ignominious prison to share his captivity
and Tighten his punishment, provided the
officers of the Penitentiary could be pre-
vailed On to permit her entrance.-H0us-
ton (Tepds) A0e

MischieVOus Charity.

SOME years ago [ picked up several
children in Chicago, and thought l would
clothe them and feed them; and took
special interest in those boys to see what
[ could make of them. [ don't think it
was thirty days before the clothes had all
gone to whisky, and the fathers had drank
il all up. One day I met one of the little
boys for whom bought a pair of boots
only the day before. There was snow
storm coming up, and he was barefooted.
Mike" SAYS |, elbows this? Where
are YOUR shoes 90 "Father and mother
took them away" said he. There is a
good deal that we think is charity that is
really doing a great deal of mischief !;
and the people must not think because we
don't give them money to aid them in
their poverty that we don't love them,
for the money would go into their pockets
to get whisky with. 1t is no sign that we
are all hypocrites and insincere in our
love that we don't give them money. [
believe if the prodigal son could have got
all the money he wanted in that foreign
country he would never have come home,
and it was good thing for him that he
did get hard up and had to live on the
husks that the swine ate. And it is a
good thing that people should suffer. If
they get good living without work, they
will never work. We can never make
anything Of them. God has decreed that
man shall earn his bread by the sweat of
his brow, and not live on other people

Horrors of the Slave Trade.

THE Briton, ten-screw corvette, Capt.
Lindsay Brine, which arrived home last
week to be paid off, was commissioned on
the 28th November, 1871, at Sheerness. A
correspondent gives an account of her OPP
erations on the east coast of Africa in the
suppression of the slave trade. Some of
the boats with their crews were detached
at various times from thirty to eighty
DAYS. Twelve slave dhows were captured
by her boats, and nearly 220 slaves res
cued from bondage. One dhow con-
tanned 122 men, women and children Of all

Germans would be consulted henceforth

Russians fully intended to take care that
the Germans shall know before long all
