CLIMATE CHANGES IN Russia The
winters in Russia are becoming colder
every year, and the summers hotter.
moro dry and less fruitful, owing,
as is clearly stated by Livingston. to
the destruction of the woodlands
formerly abounded in the southern
districts. The clearing OF these lands
has caused such an enormous evapo-
ration, that many once capacious
water-courses have become mere
swamps or are completely dry. the
Dnieper becomes every day more
shallow, and its tributaries are no
longer worthy of the name of streams.
The question of replanting has fre.
quently been agitated, but the dried
condition of the earth in many places
in Southern Russia makes it q great
difficulty.

The ORIGIN OF "JosH BILLINGS. -
About 1853, Mr.. Shaw, having two
daughters to educate, went to Pough-
keepsie, New York, for that purpose,
where he established himself in the
auction buiness. At this period of
his life he was forty-five years-old.
and he states up to that time he had
written nothing which appeared in
print. But friend of bis connected
with a newspaper, divining the stuff
that was in him, encouraged him to
write short pieces for the papers.
The first thing he wrote was an ac-
count of the mule, in which that
highly respected party was carica-
tured and his merits set forth in a
few original dashes of the pen. The
description was caught up, and went
the rounds of the papers. 1t came
back, and being revised and some
what elongated, it was set up. and
went the rounds in its new Dress
Some four or five years after his first
venture, Mr.. Shaw had got 30 deep
in his now work that he was stimu'
lated to keep on, and, finding it nee
essary to adopta fictitious character
selected Josh Billings as his non d.
plume, and ever since then the mule
story has gone under the sanction oi
the well-known signature.

MOURNING CUSTOMS ancients
had queer ideas about mourning for
the dead. The Egyptian women ran
through the streets crying, with their
bosoms exposed and the r hair disor-
dered. The Lycians regarded mourn
ing as unmanly, and compelled men
who went into mourning to put on
female garments. In Greece, when
q popular general dies the whole
army cut off their hair and the names
their horses. At the present day,
the Arabian women stain their hands
and feet with indigo, which they suf-
fer to remain eight days. They also
carefully abstain from milk during
this time on the ground that its white
color does not accord with the gloom
of their minds. In China, the mourn
ing color is white. Mourn for a par
ent or husband is required by law,
under . penalty of sixty blows and o
years banishment. When the en-
peror dies, all his subjects let their
hair grow for one hundred days. In
Feejee Islands, of the tenth day OF
mourning, the women scourge all the
men except the highest chiefs. An
other fashionable custom there re-
qpires the friends and relatives to as
semble on the fourth day after the
funeral, and picture tothemeselves
the amount of corruption the corpse
has sustained by that time. In the
Sandwich Islands persons desirous
of going into mourning paint the low
or part Of their faces black, and knock
out their front teeth. No doubt this
causes a very sincere kind ofmourn'
ing for the time.

Peace in Europe, Perhaps.

It is officially announced in London
that the protocol has been signed. A London
Times leader says: We cannot but see that
Turkey is in the background; behind all
these tair arrangements Of the powers so
much depends on what the Porte will do or
decline to do, and Russian disarmament is
promised in expectation of SO many things
which may not easily be fulfilled. On the
contrary, the dominant feeling in Constanti-
nople is still defiance. In the present temper
of the tive empires the suggestion that nego-
tiations for common disarmament to be car
ned Oh by a Turkish delegate at St. Peters,
burg, does not appear promising. it may be
said the success or failure of this new ATTEMPT
at pacifcation must be decided at CONSTANT
nople. The government is in the circum-
stances fully justified in sending out Mr..
Layard. The Turks are full OF luminosity
against Russia and distrust of Russa's seem
ing abettors and may be even less reasonable
than three months ago. Many interpret Rus
sia's overtures as signs of pusillanimity and
weakness. Layard has had the experience o,
the Turks, and perhaps there is no English
man to whom they would more readily listen
than to him and to the other ambassadors
we must look to impress on the Porte the
tendency of doing nothing which may be
represented as nulliiying the PROTOCOL

A Machine that Saves Ar!ill-rists the TrOu
bic of Finding the Range

Berlin Correspondence Of the London Daily News
had an opportunity the other day
of examining Gen. B"r!An's new
distance calculator, .: III military
language Grange iindtl which il
making such q sensation here in mil
itary circles. When closed up, ready
for moving, it looks like a sort of prim-
tive chariot, mounted on two large
light wheels and drawn by one horse.
Two men ride upon the comfortable
seat, the driver and the operator, and
for the latter, so simple is the instru-
ment, no special training is necessary,
however desirable it may be that he
should understand the principles of
trigonometrical science.
When range of any point is taken,
before battery begins to play, for in
stance, or a regiment to fire, the horse
is slipped out of the shafts and the
body of the "chariot'' then turned
completely over on its axle. The
frame, on which is built the seat, then
serves as firm and steady support for
the instrument. The body of the We
hicle is box or case one metre wide.
nearly two long, and about foot deep;
and when it's two opposite ends are
thrown open, the instrument is ready
for use.
This consists loosely described, of
two parallel telescopes about one and a
half metres long, and very powerful,
affixed to frame which swings on
common pivot, The sight ends are
just one metre apart, and this is, of
course, the base line of the circulation.
One of these telescopes is movable
only with the frame, of which both
form a part. This is first sighted on
the object, and then the frame is made
fast, the first step being thus complete.
The other telescope is adjustable
further, on a pivot of its own, and bY
means of a small wheel is turned to
the right angle of conveyance with
its companion-that is to say, until it
too covers the object.
Now, having the base line and the
angle Of conveyance, any surveyor
could, of course calculate the
distance. Bnt in Gen. Berdan's instru-
ment, the wheel which adjusts the
second telescope is marked off in two
metres, centimetres, and milimetres,
and is covered by little hand or point
en- and when the hand is brought
within the focus the pointer indicates
exactly the distance. This is absolute
ly all there is of it. In two minutes
the instrument can be numbered, put
into readiness. and a distance found.

A Bunch of Keys.

New York Tribune.
Postmaster'General Key has an in.
genious way of Kidding himself of
those bores, the owners of furnished
houses in Neutrality-suspicious. who are
always trying to get a good tenant
with money in his purse. Mr.. Key
placidly listens while the anxious visi-
tor sets forth the advantages of his
dwelling, its aristocratic air, and es-
pecially the ample and luxurious fash
ion in which it is furnished; then says
the General, with beaming face and
an amiable voice: 'Well, should like
the house pretty we'll furnished as
have nine Children" Visions of these
youthful scions of the house of Key
careering around that furniture and
romping over his carpets strike tn {
Washington householder with horror;
he hastily departs and never comes
back any more.

SOMEBODY'S DARLING.

Warmly tuck'd in little bed,
Somebody's darling lay;
Golden curls around her head.
So tired after play!
Little cheeks like roses red,
Sweet laughing eyes OF blue,
Smiling mouth you might have said.
Bright angels round her flew.
Tiny hands are crumpled tight
Under her rosy cheeks,
Mother softly shades the light.
That through the window streaks.
Slowly treading up the aisle,
Somebody 3 darling moves,
With dOwncast eyes and happy smile.
And near her all she loves.
Sun-raYs stream through painted glass.
A happy bride is she;
Around her stands her village class.
Somebody = darling to see.
Hush! 0 hush! tread softly now,
Angels are in the way,
White and still as untrodden snow.
Somebody's darling lay.
Weep not, weep not 50 tor her.
To her can come no ill:
Surrounded by Gods loving care.
And-Somebody's darling still.

Bismarck Resigns.

The London Posts special from Ber-
lin says Prince Bismarck has rendered his
resignation of the Imperial Chancellorship.
The intelligence occasions immense excite
ment. The reasons tor the step are not posi-
lively known, but the recent differences be-
tween Prince Bismarck and General Won Slesh
head OF Admiralty, is believed to have pro-
voked it. The Crown Prince has endeavored
to induce Bismarck to withdraw his resigna-
ton. Emperor William has declined to &C.
cept it, acknowledging at the same time, in
services and the country's need of their con-
tinuance. The Emperor has, however, grant,
ed Bismarck a years leave of absence, OF
which the Prince will shortly avail himself,
to recruit his health. 1t has not been def
nitely decided who will represent him in his
absence, but it is considered probable that
Won Bulow will take charge OF the Ministry
OF Foreign Affairs, and Camphausen Of the
Interior.
Herr Camphausen will take Bismarck's
place az Chancellor OF the Empire. Bis
marck's resolve is attributed in diplomatic
circles to the notifying result of the spring
session OF the Reichstag, the growing compli-
cations with South Germany, and the strong
feeling that his popularity is rapidly dimin-
ishing throughout the country. Camp-Map
sens nomination will certainly be regarded
untavorably by the whole of non-Prussian
Germany, and in tact Bismarck's resolution
to retire cannot but be esteemed as a most
serious calamity for the Empire.

Interview with A. Oakley Hall.

Louis J. Jennings, editor of the New
York Times at the time of the great ring ex-
posure, now London correspondent OF the
World, has interviewed A. Oakley Hall in
London, and telegraphs as follows: We had
long interview, but he absolutely refuses to
make any explanations whatever as to his
motives in leaving New York under such ex-
traordinary circumstances, and seems alto
gether at sea as to his future plans. He is
evidently very much broken in mind and
body, and says that he now only desires rest
and peace. The general details of our con-
versation am not at liberty to publish, but
venture to suggest that it is now only charity
to an utterly broken man to say as little more
about him as possible.
