The GREAT ANNUAL FAIR IN Russia
Mimi Noygorod is a town in Russia
whose annual fairs give some idea of the
immensely of the interior trade of thst
great empire. The actual population of
the place is about 10000. During the
fair, which lasts for two months from the
beginning of July, an addition OF from one
hundred and fifty to three thousand per-
sons is made to the mouths to feed and
the heads to lodge. The visitors, who,
coming and going. keep up this census
are about million traders, buyers and
sellers, from the interior of Asia and
Eastern Europe. In 1887 the value Of
the goods sold dering the fair was thirty.
four millions; in 1874, one hundred and
twenty-four millions. Mimi is situate
at the confluence of the Okla river with
the Nolga, 260 miles from Moscow, in 8
northeas.erly direction. What is a Gu
rious feature of the place is, that, xcept
in the dry months, the site of the fair
grounds is often oveIflowed, and is con-
sequcntly uninhabitaole. Annually
town is built for this immense,traffc, mot
mere tents, but, wooden structures, which
are annually removed. And these in
clude ihotels, churches and places Of
amusement, as well as immense ware
houses and shops. The reason for the
selection of this point for the fair is the
great convenience of reaching it ly wa
ter communication. What damage rail-
Ways may at some day doito this great
mart remains to be tested. But at pres
ent 1t furnishes conclusive argument
against the notion which the Western
European, the English and American
people have that they are the only Is on
tsrprising nations.

A DOG SHoT.-Y esterday a dog be-
longing to d. T. Bradford, No. 314 W.
Sventh street. became very cross, and
bit several persons, when Mr.. Bradford

An attempt was made this morning,
but pistol procured from policeman
snapped three times and the dog es .
capped into the street. The policeman
followed, but soon gave up the chase,
Later in the morning Charley Alex
ander the boot black was employed as
executioner, and loading an old mus-
ket with two balls he shot the dog in
Mr.. Bradfords yard 1T having returned
from its hasty flight. The dog was not
supposed to be rabid, but was shot in
order to prevent it from biting any
other persons.

Nne More Unfortunate.

Almost every day the epapers chronicle
the suicide of some unfortunate whose
mind has been enfeebled by dyspepsia,
over whose earthly horizon heavy
gloom has gathered from the untold and
untellahle agonies of this cruel COM
plant. Dyspepsia is one of the most
depressing diseases affecting humanity,
1t is cosmopolitan in its nature--no coyn
try is exempt from It's visitations, no fami
ly free from its attacks. There is balm
in Gilead; it comes in the shape Of the
Peruvian Syrup. For years it has been
scattering its blessings abroad. There is
probably, no disease which experien ce
has so amply proved to be remendiable by
the Peruvian Syrup as Dyspepsia. The
most invetcrate forms Of this disease
have been completely cured by this medi.
cine, as ample testimony of many Of orr
first citizens prove.

ACOW SHED BURNED.

An Ineendiary ON French Street.
The alarm of five at 8 o'clock, this
morning, was caused by the burning
of small COW shed belonging to Chas.
Smith, white washer, in the rear OF
his house No. S32 French street. The
fire department was quickly in service,
but could do nothing except prevent
the spread of the flames to the sur.
rounding property. The shed, with
all its contents-some three or four
tons of hay. was entirely destroyed
Loss about $3.50.
The fire is undoubtedly the work OF
an incendiary, as Mr.. Smith has Just
been to the stable, drove his two COWS
out to pasture and left everything all
right, few minutes before the flames
were discovered. The prompt re-
sponse of the fire men saved a large
amount of adjoining property from
damage.
