A Stupepdous Scheme.

Exit M. de Lesseps, enter Mr.. Spald-
ing, OF America We have been in the
habit of regarding the construction of
the Suez canal as gigantic achievement,
but Mr.. Spaldipg has conceived geo
graphical enterprise which fairly takes
ones breath away. It is neither more
nor less than the turning of the waters of
the Black sea into the Caspian, thereby
connecting the latter with the Mediterra-
mean, bringing back tho volume of water
in the Caspian to an equality with that
which existed thousands of years ago.
The American engineer, who is well and
favorably known to his own country, is
so far in earnest about his scheme
that he has already commended it to the
attention of Russia, and his paper is
now in course of translation and publica-
ton into the Russian language by Col.
Muller, of the Russian War ministers
staff. The plan has also been submitted
to the President of the Imperial Geo.
graphical and Statistical Commission.
If the work conceived by Mr.. Spalding
could be successfully accomplished, one
great result would be to bring within
the area of civilization and European in
fuenoes large portion of the Russian
Empire which is now inaccessible, and
which possesses a vast wealth of timber
and other resources. In addition to this,
the large tract of land in the vicinity OF
the Caspian sea, which in recent ages has
become barren and sterile, might be re-
stored to its former fertile condition.
1t certainly behooves Russia to give hel
best consideration to this scheme
gigantic and hopeless as it may appear
upon the first glanoe-for Mr.. Spaldine
extends to her warning to the effect
that Through the operation of natural
laws a great desert is in process of for

pire. "-LOndOn Echo.

freed by a Flood.

The Leavenworth (Kan.) Times has
the following account of singular and
perilous misadventure Last Satur-
day evening, about o'clock, as gen
tlemau named Samuel Jacobs, who had
been in the city, was returning on horse
back to his home, about twelve miles
west OF here, he attempted to cross Big
Stranger near Mr.. Samuel Stewards resi-
dence, and after riding quite distance
into the water, which was rising rapid
ly, found that he would be obliged to
return, as the water was getting deeper
as he advanced. Endeavoring to turn
his horse around in order to retrace his
steps, he noticed huge volume of wa
ter rushing right down upon him, and
before he could get out, the seething
mass struck his horse, and causing it to
lose its footing, placed the life of its
rider in most imminent peril. The
force of the stream was 30 strong
that the animal could not recov-
er, and both horse and rider were
swept down with the current. While
passing large tree Mr.. Jacobs grasped
one of its boughs, and succeeded, after
much effort, in drawing himself up from
the raging torrent. He climbed up into
the branches of the tree, and was forced
to remain there all night, in the uncer

Bogus Railroad Tickets.

It has been known for week or two
past that counterfeit railroad tickets
have been in circulation here, and that
some roads leading north and east have
been victimized. The matter has been
in the hands of the detectives for some
days, and information was obtained
which led to the arrest last night of JEFF
ferson A. Brolaslki for being engaged in
making and altering these counterfeits.
Brolaski is clerk in the Illinois and St.
Louis Bridge Company's Office here, and
very respectfully connected in this city.
Another man, named Edwin M. Baker,
who was recently in Jail at Chicago, is
also implicated in the matter, but eluded
arrest. In the room of Brolaski and
Baker were found plates, stamping
machines, dies, ink, etc., and about
$40, 900 worth of bogus tickets. These
latter are coupon tickets, from Law
renee, Kansas, to New York, over the
Missouri Pacific, and Chicago and Alton,
the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern,
and the Erie roads; also, from Topeka,
Kansas, to Philadelphia, over the Atchi-
SOD, Topeka and Sante Fe, the Missouri
Pacific, the Ohio and Mississippi, the
Little Miami, Columbus and Pittsburg,
and the Pennsylvania roads. Other par
ties than these mentioned seem to be
connected with the swindle, but, as the
evidence against them is meager, their
names are withheld.
Howard Brolaski, prominent shoe
merchant, and E. II. Gardner, an EN-.
ploye, were arrested this evening,
charged with implication in the forging
of railroad tickets.-&. Louis Republi-

Proud Of His Pastor.

An aged and excellent Christian man,
beloved by all who know him, was re-
Gently bewailing the fact that his tai
ented pastor, whom he loved very much,
would persist in owning and driving fast
horses, and even claimed to have some of
the fastest and best in New England.
Talking with friend the other day, he
said, Only think of it; he goes out to
the milldam and drives fast there, and
even races, and they do say worse than
that he goes to the race course and
drives his fast horses there. II is too
bad, isn't itl" 81 don't know about
that" was the response, "but I know
he goes to the track, for saw him there
the other day, driving his favorite horse
against another fine animal" The
friend then proceeded at some length to
describe very closely contested and in.
teresting race, dwelling on the last por.
ton of it, where the animals were about
even, when he was interrupted by the
inquiry, "Well, well, how did it end
Who beat2 Who beat9" "Oh, your
pastor - was the reply, and descrip.
ton was given of the magnificent clos
ing squirt with which the race was won.
"Did he beat2" said the now excited
old gentleman, care you sure he beat r.
Yes" was the reply. "Good. That's
good - he exclaimed, as his face beamed
with Joy. "That's almost too good tc
be true. 1 know our pastor is true grit
and wish he wouldn't race horses
But if he will race, do love to have
him win. I love him so well that want
to have him succeed in everything"

Will there he a Religious War (!

From widely separated parts of the
Mohammedan world we hear OF the ia
natics. calling for holy war.
In central Asia the Mohammedans OF
Khokand have been trying to resist the
advance of Russia by stimulating q
holy war and in European Turkey,
according to the London Times, the
agitation Tor war of this kind has
taken a strong hold of the Mohammedan
population.
On all sides the Mohammedans see
how the Christian powers are closing in
upon such remnants of their ancient
dominions as are yet left to them, closing
in upon Turkey itself, as well as upon
Egypt, and Persia, and Turkestan, and
the North African kingdoms. During
the last century the political authority
of Mohammedanism has ceased to exist
over many millions of its subjects, from
the Indies to the Straits of Gibraltar ;
and nowhere, except in some parts OF
China, has the sword of Islam been able
to assume the aggressive.
But that faith cannot make success
full stand against the forces of Christen-
dom, and the outbreak of holy war in
Turkey would soon be brought to an
end in the obliteration of the Sultan
empire in Europe. True enough, il
the fires of Nohammedan fanaticism
could be kindled over the Musselman
world, their oxtinguishment would in
volve frightful amount of bloodshed
but cooperation between the Moham.
medan powers of Asia, Europe, and
Africa is an impossibility ; and any
holy war, however extensive, could be
but series of isolated massacres.
The British Government, which has
millions of Mohammedan subjects in its
East Indian possessions, and the inter.
ests of which are complicated with those
of several MOhammedan countries, il
doubtless more apprehensive than any
other European power over the holy wal
agitation. TO it, the Sultan is more i'm
portant as the head of the Mohammedar
faith than as the sovereign of CONSTANT.

as Catarrh in the nose or head. the next step

A Novel Surgical Operation.

The Lroken arm-bone of . patient in
an hospital at Troy would not heal, al
though the usual modes of cure were
tried. Then he was put under the infiu-
ence of ether, an incision four inches
long was made parallel to the bone, aud
the broken part exposed. The ends
were fitted together after being sawed
on the surface, holes were drilled, and
silver wire put through. The healing
thereafter was rapid.

Sir W. Thomson, it seems, has con-

that the age of the earth, at least as a
body of material cool enough to be hab-
table, cannot be much greater than a
hundred millions of years. But much
lesser limit of time has been advanced
by Prof. TAFT, who thinks the world is
about ten millions of years old.
