large decrease, as compared with those

A BRANDY-SoAKED PEopLE.-A
St. Petersburg correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press says
The national vice of Russia Is
drunkenness. The lower classes are so
brutalizsd by excessive drinking that
they are rarely sober, and during fete
days (and there are about l30 of thema
they are always in state of intox:ca-
ton. The popes, or priests, seem to
think it part of their religion to be
habitually in muddled state. This is
the reason that the Russian peasant
appears so stupid and thick headed.
Naturally he has good understanding,
but his brains are SO soaked with vodki
(brandy) that they are never fully at
his command. When he sees his spi-
ritual guides are degraded as himself,
as poorly clad, as lily housed, and as
much addicted to the use of alcoholic
drinks, the peasant stultifes and bru-
talizes himself with less compunction
of conscience and sense of shame.

The Obe!isk.

New York Tribune "There seems
now to be no reason to doubt that the
Egyptian obelsk, the securing of which
for New York has recently excited wild
interest, even while many persons re-
garded the plan as visionary or at best
uncertain, will within reasonable time
be set up in this city. It is believed
that no difficulty will arise respecting
It's prompt presentation by the Khedive.
and 1t is announced with authority that
the money for its transportation and
erection here has been secured. Yes
terday's World stated that citizen of
New York has promised the necessary
sum for this purpose; that the English
contractor, Mr.. Dixon, now engaged in
removing Cleopatra's Needle to Eng
and, would bring the second mcnolith
to this country; that Henry G.. Steb-
bins, formerly President Of the Depart
ment of Parks, would represent the
anonymous benefactor of the city. Mr.
Stebbins yesterday fully confirmed
these statements. He SAID that no un-
certainty longer existed respecting the
expense Of removal and erection of the
obellsk; the needful money was posi-
lively guaranteed by gentleman, who,
for reasons unknown to him, declines.
for the present, to allow his name to be
made public. Mr.. Stebbins, without
being absolutely certain of the fact,
fully believed, that there could be no
obstacle TO the execution of the project
on the other side Of the water. he
understood that the Khedive had def
nitely made the gift, and that Mr.
Dixon would contract to transport it to
this country. 1t was a subject for
general and hearty congratulation that
SO noble monument was secured for
the metropolis. 1t was something ins
which an ever increasing interest ould
be felt. The satisfaction of the public
at securing the treasure would grow by
what it fed on. There need be no te-
dious delay in bringing it to this coun-
try. He supposed that as soon as Gle
opatra's Needle arrived in the Thames.
the peculiar vessel built to convey il
safely thither would return for the
Khedlve's present to this city.

already elected and those who will
probably be chosen at extra elections
still to be held, the Republicans will
