A RUSSIAN SAINT STORY.

a RUSSIAN SAINT STORY.
N. dc Molinari, well-known contributor to
the Paris Journal de. Debats, has repu ubllsl,cd
series OF letters written from Russia in 1850,
which are very entertaining. Among the most
amusing OF them is one on religion in Russin.
Here for instance is an edifyins legend Of St..
Nicholas. and how he outwittcd St. Elias. Once
upon time, there lived 4 farmer who never
failed to keep the St. Nicholas holy. Often,
too, he rccited litanics in honor Of that saint,
and burned him many tapcrs. But ST. Elias he
somehow neglected, and WAS even so ill-advised
as occasionally to work on his day. Now It
Glanced That on one bright afternoon Saints
Nicholas and Elias were taking walk together.
<sSce, my brother,'' ouotll the first, pointing
to the far1i'er's land, what splendid crop;
aud IN truth the man deserves it, for he
honors the saiDts.'' ''Hnmph!'' quoth the
neglected saint, ~ an not quite so sure; and
when have spoiled Ills crops with 4 littlc hail,
perhaps lc will learn to remember st. E}ias.''
The saints thereupon parted little sulkily, and
Nicholas went to seek the farmer, and bid him
sell bis crops as they stood, to the priest Of the
parish OF ST. Elas. Tie farmer did, and the
crops had hardly become the property Of the
priest before storm of hail completely ruined
them. OF course Nicholas and Elias took
another walk. ami Elias pointed out to Nicholas

-Four gentlemen were travelling from the Tar
West to New York City, for the purpose OF buy
ing goods. One of them was German AS
the Journey was long aud tedious, they con
cluied to while AWAY the hour at d game OF
eucErc. Fritz, the German, had been IN the
habit Of playing draw poker, so every time he
was dealt good poker hand he would remark,
- Veil, PLAYS poker nit you on dis hand"
The other parties would saY, " Oh, never
mind poker; 60 On with The game VIC aEe play
ing"
Pretty soon Fritz would get another poker
hand, aud out it would come, '' plays poker
nit you on dis hand"
"Oh, never mind poker; 80 on with the
game"
lie talked 50 much about poker that the party
thought finally that they would give him enough
9t a1 IT, One q them LETT the table, got another
deck OF cards similar to the ones they were
playing with, and *t.put them up II for the o.
caslon. Fritz soon lett the table a moment for
glass OF water, and while absent the new pack
was substituted. aud was being dealt Us he re-
turned. The dealer turned up queen. On
looking at his hand Fritz found be had four
kings. lie Immediately said. II plays poker
nit you on dis hand.''
One OF the purity, who had dealt himself four
aces. looked at his baud some time, then he
looked at tn: qt1een which had been turned up,
THEN at his hand and again at the queen. Final
ly he REMARKED:
ss Well, now, Fritz, since you seem so anxious
to Play poker, lli tell you what III do: II you
will let Inc take that queen up, niH give you
IAN right says Fritz; sall right: you
takes up dc queen"
commenced. Fritz bet off $50. john :. raised
him $50. Fritz raised that 500. Juan went
s;'oo better, and SO the betting went on until
poor Fritz had put up all the money he had
brought to buy goods with. When tile money
was all exhausted aud it came to call, John
showed down his four aces and his queen and
took tile money. Fritz didn't say word, but
went on with the game of cuchre for about half
an hour. Finally he looked up with Il per-
picked cpuntenancc. aud remarked interroga-
lively, S'Jolln, betinks all this while what dat

A PROPHET IN lNDIA-A little more
than four years ago, says the London
Vanity Fair, four officers i'll India Joined
together to build small dwelIing-nouse
for their own habitatlon in the valley oil
The Jumna. They took the stones for
the construction from native burylng-
place close by; whereupon a Fakeer
came down upon them, denounced them
with terrible curses, and prophesled
that within lour years every one OF the
four officers would meet with violent
death. Within three years and a hall
one of them was killed while pig-stick-
ing, second was eaten by tiger, and
a third accidentally shot. The fourth,
however, met with no harm, and within
two months before the expiration OF the
time fixed by the Fakeer, was congratu-
latIng himself and his friends on his be-
ing certain to belle the Old mendlcants
prophecy, when he was upset in boat,
on The Ganges, and drowned. Moreover,
about the same time, the river adjoining
the house, which was the beginning OF
all the troubles, rose in an unparalleled
flood, and swept away every Yestlge OF
the building, sacred stones and all.
This story is absolutely true.

If there is any consolation to be de-
rived from the misery of others there is
some salts faction in knowing that we, as
nation, are not alone suffering from
hard times, or a general paralysis in
trade. Our Canadian neighbors claim
to be a great deal worse off than we are.
Mr.. Wortz, of the wealthiest distillery
firm in the Dominion, made speech
recently at the Toronto Board of Trade,
in which he stated that during the year
1876 there were two bankruptcies in
Canada to one in the United States in
proportion to the population, and de-
scribed the country as "nation OF
bankrupts." Twenty-Five failures are
chronicled for one week in January.
All branches Of trade are alike affected
The governmental expenses of 1876 have
lnoyeover exceeded the receipts by
nearly $2,0O0,0O0. The state Of affairs
is said to be infinitely worse than DUR
ing the panic of 1857, and while with u.
speedy revival of trade is confidently
expected the outlook for our neighbOrs
appears to grow more gloomy from
month to month.
