ly spring trade. Though the expense
of running by steam and the large
amount necessary to pay the yearly in.
terest of costly and extensive mile have
eaten up what little profit they have
made during the past three years, the
present business of nearly all the cor.
poratiOns Is remuDerative, and the
prospect is OF a steady increase. The
drought during the past winter ha;
stopped many mills which are depend
ent entirely upon water, and the grow
ing confidence i'll satisfactory solu
ton of the political situation has ere
ated demand for cloths which the
Fall River manufacturers are prepared
to take advantage of. The present
production of all the Fall River milk
amounts to 5,S50,000 yards per week
on which there is a net profit of S5S,
500, and prices show signs of ;mprov
ing. 1t is noteworthy fact that
though Fall River manufacturers made
the first export of goods to England
and can compete with her in foreign
countries, the home demand is a
present so great that they cannot o.
present follow up the advantage, anC
this branch of the trade il at nresen
practically monopolized, as far as New

the fact that the hard times in the DIR,

A Cheap Fuel.

The proprietOrs of a.large steam
Touring mill in Minnesota are using
hay as cheap fuel. In that region
hay can be put in the stack at each
mans door at two dollars per ton, and
ten tons, it is said, will furnish fuel fol
one stove during a winter season. Hav
burning stoves and machines for twist
ing the hay into knots or sticks have
already been patented. In section:
where hay ranges from fifteen to thir
ty dollars per ton the new fuel will
not be found so cheap as In Minnesota.

The Green Three Cent Stamn.

By about the middle Of next May
the public will have seen the last of
the present three.cent stamp, and will
become to get accustomed to some
thing red, and possibly a new tint.
The best and fastest color known
the green three-has proved placer
TOR stamp-washers, who take off the
oily cancellations with.ut acid or al.
kali, and set the stamp atloat again.
60 far the post-ofice department has
ound no way out OF the difficulty,
and TIE long series of experiments
Just completed has result d in nothing
more than assurance that green is the
poorest of stamp colors. With the
change of color, May /, there will be
change of design. The medallion
head of Washington will be retained ;
but it will be relieved with all open
space of white, the scroll-work will
have a different pattern. Altogether,
the new st mp will bear some resem'
blance to a stamp Of sixteen year;
ago, which most Ipeople have forget
ten. The white background i
adopted in the hope tkat any attempt
to wash the stamp will leave this par
irretrievably spoiled.

gle Geographic wire which connected
Russia with her most distant Asiatic
provinces had been cut that night in
two places in western Siberia. The
car had Just received secret informa-
ton that Colonel Ivan Ogaref, an able
but INSCRIPTIONS officer of semi-Tartar
origin, had been the instigator of the
war, and was then on his way to the
Asiatic frontier 10 assume command
of the barbarian forces Of FeOfar
Khan. Ivan Ogarefi cherished an
undying hate toward the cars brother
who, though unacquainted personally
with him, had or ce inflicted a humili.
alton upon him. This prince would
soon be at Irkutsk, the capital of west
srn Siberia, and it was the traitor
Ogareff's intention, relying on the
grand dukes ignorance of his appear
ance, to enter that city during its APP
preaching siege and seek an opportu-
nifty to betray the grand duke to his
savage enemies.
To warn the unconscious prince of
the trcachery which threatened him,
Il messenger must be found who united
extreme boldness TO extreme caution,
aud the utmost loyalty TO the ut
most physical endurance. If any
body could elude death, discovery
or capture through the 5000
versts which divided 1rkusk from
Moscow il was Michael Strogof, the
handsome captain of The couriers of
the czar. SO said the car, when he
withdrew from his guests and handed
him an autographs letter for the
grand duke, receiving his promise
to deliver the dispatch in the princes
hand.

acter, and with ample funds, StrOgof
took the train TO Nijni-NovgOrod

.Just after his arrival there the fan
was broken up by an imperial decree
Gntended TO prevent OgareH iron

off. adopted the inhuman expedient OF
ordering his mother to be knouted in
public. As the cruel instrument was
about to fall on the bare shoulders OF
the heroic woman, Michael sprang
from the crowd, and Selling the
knOut from the executiOner's hand,
struck Ogarefi across the face thus
repaying the blow he had once en-
dured from the renegade.
The punishment of Michael was de-
cided, according to Tartar custom,
by a priest opening the koran at ran
dom. The chief of the Ulemas thrust
his finger on the text: "And he will
no more see the things Of this earth"
Blindness was, therefore, the penalty
imposed bv the emir; and at the
close OF a barbaric pageant the sem
tenco was inflicted by drawing red
hot saber across his eyes. At the con-
clusion of this savage act, Ogareff,
with supreme irony, held the letter of
the czar before MichaePs eyes, saying:
"Read now. and 60 to Irkutsk, and
repeat what you have read. The true
courier of the car is Ivan Ogaref."
The crowd had dispersed, aud the
noises of a Wild dcbauch were heard
in the distance. Michael dragged
himself over to his msensible mother
and kissed her white locks. As he
did so, hand graspcd his and he
heard n voice:
Brother!" it said.
"Nadia!" murmured Michael, Ma
