AN hole Crew Murdered.


A vessel commanded by Capt.
Ridont was lost on the French shore OF
Newfoundland in 1874. A st. Johns
paper says person from Bounes pay
relates the following; The Captain
had 81 900 on his person at the time
the craft went ashore near hut oc,
cupied" BIZ an old hunter named
"Jacks.Y' fAll of tile crew got ashore
aud built tent. A certain person,
with members o. his family, under
stood to lie hunters, wreckers, etc,
visited the tent and offered to pilst
the crew to the CHANNEL. The offer
was accepted, aad while the party
were crossing pond the members
of the crew we're shot, three falling
at the first rolley. The murderers
cut hole in the ice and put the
bodies down, after robbing them.
Jacks, aware of the circumstance;
was bought over, but, becoming sick,
confessed. The informant also states
Nova Scotian craft fishing there
found the remains of the Captain
fearfully mangled under . rock on
| the shore. The people are confident
tiiat the crew were all murdered by
the sane gang. Many other vessels
| and crews he believes have met the

the people at Port Buport do little
else than plumber, and in his opinion
they would not hesitate to use lights
to decoy vessels on shore. The mat
ter has been placed in the hands OF

visiting the shore, will be directed

The Russian Bath.

The Russian vapor- bath has come
into wide use in the United States
as medical agent. But in the life
of the Russian peasant it plays a
most important Fart. No orthodox
peasant will enter y church until he
has cleansed himself physically by
means of the bath. After laboring
among pollutions for six and a half
days in the week, he devotes Sat-
urday afternoon to the vapor-bath,
aud carefully avoids thereafter all
pollution, until he has performed his
devotions at the morning seFviee on
Sunday. Some of the peasants take
their vapor-bath in the household
oven, in which the bread Is baked,
Others resort to the public bath
owned by the village. The degree
| of heat which they endure would
kill person not accustomed to it
from childhood. And in winter they
often rush out of the bath and roll
themselves in the snow. Such rapid
transitions from extreme heat to ex-
treme cold illustrates a common
Russian proverb, which says, what is
health to the Russian is death to the
German. Notwithstanding. however.
the frequent use of the bath by many
of the people Of Russia, it is said that
some of their perepnal habits are
filthy and objectionable.
