Cine Of the principal reasons, il not the
reason, for the late panic and present de-
preston in the silver market is the e.

change between England and her East

the regular balance of trade against the
mother country in her dealings with In

India took to building extensive and

been reversed. being in favor of England.

mand for $50. 000. 900 in silver per an

pal cause Of the existing deprecia

under way in England to prevent
the loss entailed by the presep
state OF the Indian trade and
restore to silver its normal value. For
the last twenty-five years silver has fluc'

Trottinl In Russia.

NJ. Jules Goujon, of the Moscow
Jockey Club, is now in this country,
and has written to the Spirit Of the
Times a most interesting account of
his experience here. His astonish-
ment at the performances of Gold
smith Maid is evidently genuine,
and he declares her the first horse
in the world beyond any doubt. On
his return to Russia he will take
specimens of all our American ap-
pliances and inventions in connec-
ton with trotting. His account of
trotting in Russia is very interesting
and it appears evident that with
American drivers, ,sulkies, and above
all, American training, the Russian
Orloff trotter would be very dan
gerous competitor to our Atlantic
flyers. The Russian breed of trotters
was founded in 1775, Arabia, who
was the progenitor of the entire
race, being crossed with mares of
the country from Holland. Since
Count Orloff's time, many Russian
noblemen have initiated his exam
pie, and they can say to-day, in view
of the number of breeding farms s,
and the conveniences constantly
brought in for the improvement of
the Russian trotter, both by the
Government and by individuals,
that he is truly the national horse.
1t IS long time since tracks for trot-
ting were established in the central
part of Russia, the country in which
the trotters are produced, and it is
fifty-three years since annual races
have been given on each; but it is
only since the establishment of rail
roads, increasing the facilities of
transporting horses from place to
place, that hese races have been
attended with much animation, on
account of the greater number of
horses participating; and now, be-
sides the first society formed at Mos
COW by lovers of the trotting horse,
there are societies at St. Petersburg,
Varoneji, Tonla, Orel, Tambow,
Penza, Kazlof, Eletz, and at many
other less important places.

A Young Adventures.

A girl, named Barnard, residing at
Anamosa, and only sixteen years of
age, has created considerable excite
ment thereabouts of late by series of
bold thieving operations. She is the
daughter of washerwoman, but,
though poor, is not content with either
the food or habiliments of poverty,
and has not only transcended the
rules of propriety, but of law, in seek
ing to elevate her condition. A few
months ago she forged an order on
meat market and obtained supply Of
staunch food for the house in this way.
She also forged an order on millinery
store and thus secured an outfit, sub
sequently robbing dry goods store of
four or five dollars worth of goods to
enhance her wardrobe. Last Saturday
evening Miss Barnard desired to at
tend party in her neighborhood, but
was forbidden by her mother. Moth
ing daunted, she sailed forth about 6
O'Clock, and broke into the residence
of w. G. Benton, lumber dealer,
while the family were absent. Here
she rified the wardrobe Of Miss Ben
ton of several fine dresses and innu.
merable little fix's, such as accompany
q lady's toilet. She carried these
away, and subsequently appeared clad
in Miss Benton'sI finest, to the wonder
ment of her associates. The things
were all found and returned, but the
young lady was not prosecuted, no one
being willing to commence proceed
ings against the unfortunate girl, who,
though addicted to this besetting vice,
yet, has many redeeming qualities.

Severe Winter in Russia.

A letter from st. Petersburg, dated
the Goth of December, in the Debats,
says: "The excessive and almost ex.
ceptional rigor of this Winter seems
to have thrown veil of sadness over
this capital, and iced the political life
as well as the mundane pleasures of
the seas. The thermometer marks 32
degrees centigrade below freezing
point, 15 $40 degrees Fahrenheit be-
low zero; the lamps give only vague
and insufficient light; the wheels OF
the vehicles rolling on the snow pro-
duce horrible crunching unknown
to inhabitants of more temperate
zones; the faces of the unlucky cab
drivers and workmen who are obliged
to face that polar air present nothing
more than blue surface surrounded
with icicles. Foot passengers go at a
full run, covering the face with thick
fur. Conversation turns solely on the
state of the atmosphere. The head
becomes heavy, and at last languor
overcomes every one in spite of the
artificial heat of the stove."
