Peculiar People In Russia.

But by far the most slightly class of
people to be met with in Russia are the
famous singing gypsies of Moscow. These
people, who are generally well-to-do, and
are not accustomed to wander about like
others of their race. dress with great
fnery, but yet with a natural eye to
artistic effect. Their songs, which nearly
always consist of an air with chorus,
and are usually accompanied on the
balalaika, sort of guitar, are greatly ad-
mired by travellers. In fact, it has been
said of them that if they are not the best
singers in the world there are no other
singers in the world at all like them ; and
there is story current that the famous
Catalani was once so delighted with a
female gypsy vocalist, that she threw
round the shoulders of the singer costly
shawl which she herself had lately been
presented with by the Empress.
Another peculiar and exclusive order
of people to be met with in Russia,
though of widely different sort, are
those strange patriots known as the Old
ReligionisJs. The Russians are not much
given to change, but these people are as
conservative as the Chinese themselves.
They detest all modern manners, insist
upon wearing the old Russian cattan,
and never cut their boards, allowing
them to grow to prodigious length, from
purely pious motives, because "man is
made in the image of God" But still
more singular is their religious objection
! to tobacco, for they look upon smoking
so common in Russia-as a sin de.
nounced by the Scripture in the text
"Not that which goeth into the mouth
defileth a man, but that which cometh
out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
One would think they might get over the
difficulty by consuming their own smoke
but, as a matter of fact, the Old Relig
ionists are SO particular in this respec
that there are special traktirs, or tes
houses, exclusively kept for them, anc
where the fragrant weed" and tn,
"pipe of peace" are rigidIy tabooed
Yet these queer folks are only few de
grees more behind the age than mos
other children of the Gar, and probabl!
several generations will have to elapse be
fore Russia better deserves to be callet
civilized nation than that Turke,
whose barbarism she denounces and i
endeavoriBg to make the pretext of a wa
of ambition.

swallowed up. Six persons were
drowned. At Tecopilla, little or nothing
remains of the town. The mine called
La Pena Blanca, four miles to the south
ward, sank in, smothering two hundred
workmen, of whom forty were Cornish
miners.
Cabija, the principal town on the
Bolivian coast, has lost three-fourths of
its houses. The wave, thirty-fve feet
high, swept along the main business
street, and left it as level as a desert.
Wharves and launches were all carried
out to sea.
As soon as this lamentable intelligence
reached Lima the Government chartered
a steamer, and organizing a relief COM
mission, loaded the vessel with provis.
ions, clothing, etc., and dispatched her
on the 10th for the south. One hundred
thousand soles in silver formed part of
her cargo, to be distributed among the
unfortunates. A commission of engineers
accompanied the expedition. 1t has been
urged by the Government to recommence
rebuilding the ruined towns on sites
which may offer greater security, more
remote from the shore, since this second
instance ofa similar calamity in positions
actually occupied. Subscriptions are be-
ing made in Lima and Callao for the re-
lief of the distressed.
The northern ports of Peru were dam
aged but little, although the sea was rum
ming remarkably high. The Captain of
the steamer John Elder reports that
when twenty-three miles west of Auto
fagasta, coming at full speed, his ship
was completely stopped by the shock of
the earthquake. and she remained almost
stationary for five minutes, the passen-
gers believing she had struck on reef.
Soundings were taken Immediately, but
no bottom was found for twenty fathoms.

A CfriIfsed Gorilla.

Miss Pongo, the favorite Berlin gorilla,
is about three years old sne has got well
over her winter attacks of feverish cold.
When standing she is about the height
of well grown child of four. She
never beats her breast when angry, as
DuChaillu's gorillas did, but sometimes
with one hand when well pleased; at
such times she also claps her hands.
Having had medicines out of spoon
when sick, she now repudiates that mode
of feeding, and the wife of the keeper
has consequently to take every mouth
full first into her own mouth and then
transfer it to Miss Pongo's. Her manners
are described as "a great deal better
than those of most children" After
dinner the keeper told her to wipe her
mouth, whereupon, a visitor tells us, she
wiped her mouth and blew her nose as
tidily as child of four or five.

In ancient Rome, in the period of
from two to five hundred years after the
Christian era, the average duration of
life in the most favored classes was
thirty years. In the sixteenth century
the average longevity in Geneva was
twenty-one and one-half years. Between
1914 and 1888 it increased to nearly
forty and three-fourths. In England the
average life of annuitants in 1893 was
twenty-six years, but in 1890 it had in
creased to thirty-three. The average in
this country is over thirty-fve, and is
slowly increasing.

A S0Qp Nine.

The rock seap-mine is situated in the
lower mountains or foothills of the
coast ranges in Ventura County, Cali
fornia, five miles from the city of the
same name. 1t was discovered by A. F.
Hubbard, while prospecting for coal. He
accidentally dislodged some that fell
into water and dissolved: 1t being a new
experience to see rock dissolve, he gave
it his attention, found it soapy, took it
home to experiment with, and soon
learned its virtues; yet strange to tell,
his family used it for nearly year be-
fore it was given to the public, when Mr..
Hubbard associated himself with Messrs.
Crook & Bicford, forming the present
company, who are the sole proprietors of
this wonderful mine. 1t is accessible
only through canyon leading to and
opening upon the beach. The coast-line
stage road passes the mouth of this can
yon three miles below the mine. This
canyon or ravine penetrates one of the
widest possible volcanic regions. Along
the side of the ravine, sometimes in the
bed of the stream, sometimes high up its
precipitous banks, winds little trail
leading to the soap-mine, travelled only
by the safe packmule and the hardy
miner. The rock resembles chalk or lime.
At the southern extremity are extensive
deposits, veined, marbled and parti-col-
ored, resembling CASTLE soap. The ledge
at its opening is fifteen to twenty feet
wide, and crops out for two thousand feet
to an unknown depth. The lode is well
defined with wall rocks of hard slate
stone, and has, in common with the slate
and sandstone strata about it, been
thrown up from the depths and turned
completely upon its edge. In its vicinity
is mountain of gypsum, also turned
upon edge; indeed, the whole country
bears evidence of Fearful commissions, also
of some time having lain peacefully al
the bottom ofthe ocean, for on the high.
est mountainous can be found nearly
perfect sea-shells and specimens of ma.
rine matter.

One Brown, who had his pockets
picked in the Criminal Court, at Indi-
annapolis, while waiting to be called as
juror. was afterwards objected to as
Juror by the defendants counsel, on the
ground that having been so recently the
victim of a theft he couldn't be
good juror in case involving robbery.
This was adding insult to injury.

A Fine Distinction.

A young man whose attire was clean
and neat, and whose general appearance
was rather progressing, stood before
the bar of the Jefferson Market Police

A SONG OF TIVE WAR.

High above the ceaseless din
Hear the cong of war begin,
Anthem Of q peoples sin;
Anthem Of q Caesars pride,
Swelling far and swelling wide,
Till the earth is crimson dyed.
Demons in the smoke and fame
Mouthing out a holy name
mid the slaughter's brutal shames
Keeling back to darkest age,
Progress flies when heather rage,
Making Christ battle gauge.
Borne upon the Eastern gale
Shrek and sob and woman's wall;
Cheek Of manhood wakes pale
While the dscord night and day
Fiercer than the bloedhound's bay,
Marks the wild, internal fray.
Shameful sight for Christian eyes,
See beneath the holy skies
Foully mangled manhood lies.
Rise, o Lord of Love and Peacei
Give our bondage souls release,
Bid the awful carnage cease.

A Flight Of Beetles.

The Milwaukee Sentlnet says that,
about eight o'clock in the evening.
lately, Supervisor Egan, of Franklin,
had his attention attracted by a roaring
noise like the coming of heavy railway
train. There being no railway near
Franklin, he fancied that it must be
something in the nature of tornado, so
great was the noise. He called his son,
who was equally puzzled. While they
were speculating on its probable cause
the sky was suddenly darkened by vast
swarm of flying insects. Far as the eye
could reach the air was full of them.
The swarm was moving in a northwest
erly direction, the main portion at great
height, but stragglers flying within reach,
and occasionally dropping to the earth.
The width of the swarm could not be es-
timated, it being twilight. No place
could be seen above where they were not.
Mr.. Egan picked up several of the fa-
tigued stragglers of this great army.
They are beetles little larger than the
potato beetle. Their color is dark brown,
with bright spots on the ends of their
wings. He says that they are not the
Colorado beetle, having a stronger re-
semblance to what is commonly known
as the June bug. The swarm was about
twenty minutes in passing over the vii
lage of Franklin, and must have con-
tanned untold millions of insects. Mr..
Egan is of the opinion that unless they
changed their course they must have
struck the lake shore somewhere in the
neighborhood Of Bay View.
A RISING man at the English bar, well
known for his popularity of pretending
to have friends in higher sphere of life
than his own, intimated that he was
asked to dine with the Lord Chancellor
but that he could not accept the invita-
tion on account of the illness of his
wife. His friend, who said he was in
vited also, said he would make it al
right with the Chancellor. The frs,

All is silent by the river,

All is silent by the river,
Save the murmur Of its voice,
And the summer leaves that rustic
In the zephyrs, and rejoice.
But see the frightened eagle
Quits his eyrie In the sky,
And bark those yells Of madness,
That do drown the eagles cryl
From every rock and ravine,
From each hilltop, slope and dell,
They swarm In yelling legions,
They are fendslet loose from helll
A thousand ringing rifles
Send their messengers Of vrathl
A thousand vhizxiDg arrows
Follow swiftly on their pathl
See the reeling, stricken squadronsi
Dying man and dying steedl
They fy-they halt, they rallyl
But in vain they fight and bleed.
Still the raviDes send their legions,
Pouring onward like foodl
And the air is black with terror
And the sands are red with blood.
There is silence in the canyons,
There Is silence on the hills;
Where the sands are red with slaughter
There are songs Of summer rills.
The birds sing by the streamlet
And the pine tree mods its crest;
And the eagle from the cloudiet
Hs, zane back to find her nest.
