TichbOrne.

There are thousands of people in
England, and perhaps as many in the
United States, who firmly believe that
the so-called claimant now incarcerated
in an English Jail is the real Roger
Tichborne, and the rightful heir to the
fine estate which bears that name. The
weak points i'll the claimants case were
his ignorance of the French language,
his want of education, his horrible ac-
cusations against his supposed cousin,
and his evident acquaintance and con-
nection with the Orion family. After
one of the longest criminal trials on
record, the longest, we believe, since
that of Warren Hastings, he was found
guilty of perjury and imposition, with
the result as known. Now comes the
news from Australia that the undoubted
Arthur Orion has turned up under the
name of George Cresswell This fact
will, of course, reGght in England the
excitement over this romantic case.

Unworthy Of the Honor.

A Kentucky Judge, Sands by name,
would look upon the rosy, and was not
always in condition to open court. One
morning three weeks ago he entered the
courtroom, and, instead of mounting the
bench, said to the persons assembled:
" Gentlemen, appear before you to say
L am victim to vice which has dis
graced me before you and my country
AS entered this court room, I heard some
one say, There goes pretty timber to make
a Criminal Judge Of Ifeel that remark
as steel through my heart, for it is just.
l am unworthy of the high honor and
trust you have conferred upon one SO
young; and return to you the Office
have lost, being unworthy of it. Par
don me, friends and countrymen, but
you shall bear this no longer. My judi
cial integrity and official acts are blame
less. Thank God, L am no longer Grim
inal Judge o. Lewis county I" There is
stuff of the right kind in this fellow. He
will be aJudge, and an upright one, yet.

at Albany last week, nominated Allen o. Beach

the following platform:

Tax Collection bY Machinery.

The State of Virginia has adopted a
machine to make barkeepers and liquor
sellers honest and to prevent their evad-
ing the revenue tax on liquor sold at re-
tail. The apparatus which now must
by law decorate every Virginian bar is
simply registering dial combined with
mechanism which whenever the index is
moved ahead sounds bell. The dial
indicates up to million drinks. Tam
pering with it is prevented by the pc
culiar seal, which consists of n miniature
tongue of brass that perforates bit of
paper carefully fitted into the lock-
After this tongue is in place, the paper
bears only single perforation. Any
attempt to violate the seal will result in
defacing and tearing the paper, and this
will be sufficient to subject the saloon
keeper to prosecution under the law.
Two results have followed the intro
duction of the invention which might
easily have been anticipated. The first
is that the liquor men have raised the
price of their beverages so as to cover
the amount which they are now obliged
to pay in taxes, and the second is the
production of devices to swindle the
machine. Already one enterprising in
dividual has begun using bell behind
his counter having precisely the same
sound of the gong in the machine. He
went through all the motions of oper-
ating the latter, and the false bell sound
ing made it seem as if the drink had
been properly registered. - Scientific

NEWS OF THE WEEK.


The inactivity Of the Russians in Asia is ac-
counted for by the official announcement that
their troops have been engaged in quelling a
formidable instruction in one Of the provinces
in that region.
Karajal (Asa) dispatch Of Oct. says a
general engagement was then in progress be-
tween Moukhtar Pasha's army and the Russian
forces commanded by Gen. Mslikof.
Suleiman Pasha has succeeded Mehemet Ali
Danube, and Raouf Pasha has assumed COM
maid Of the army Of the Balkans.
Russia has ordered 800 Krupp cannon.
The typhus fever is playing havoc with the
refugees about Trnova.
Reports Of the battle fought on the I'd and
Sd of October between the Turks and Russians,
near the Armenian frontier, show that il was
the most destructive engagement of the war in
that quarter. The forces of the Grand Duke
Michael surprised and captured an inn
portant fortified work on the right flank of
Mukhtar' position, and endeavored to push for
ward and establish themselves on the road be-
tween Mukhtar's army and Kars. The obstinacy
of the resistance at the point first assailed gave
the Turks time to get under arms, and a des-
perate struggle followed, lasting all day, and
resulting in the repulse Of the Russians at all
points except that of the first attack. At the
close Of the engagement the Russians held the
post they had captured, but appear to have
found II untenable, for their own reports ad-
NIT that it was abandoned. They also confess
O lei nj daA c1otp
that the Turkish loss was equally heavy. From
all accounts at this writing it must be set down
as drawn battle.
A Berlin dispatch says: 1.-THE Russians Off
cially acknowledge the loss of so, 600 men up to
Sept. o."
The character of the recent fighting near
Kars begins to be better understood The
Russians suffered a check, but the Turks
gained no decisive result. The result seems
to be something like Plevna or Schipka-
desperate fighting, enormous losses, and
no gain to either of the combatants.
Moukhtar Pasha, in dispatch dated the 7th
inst, reports the retirement Of the Russians to
the position they occupied before the recent
advance on his lines. He claims that his losses
in the recent battles were about 1900, while he
inflicted a loss of 10000 on the enemy. "A
dispatch from Bucharest says There are al
ready two feet Of snow in Schipka pass. Troops
are obliged to sit in frozen trenches, ankle deep
in mud"
Russia is modifying another army corps for
Bulgaria.
Now the Russians are able TO account for
their failures They say that the information
sent out by the newspaper correspondents has
thwarted their plans Accordingly it has been
decreed that the correspondents shall here
after only be admitted to the lines Of active
operations when engagements are in progress,
and that at other times they must remain at
the corps headquarters.
