RUSSIAN THIEVES.

Thieves and policemen are the great
pests of Russian towns, but especially
policemen. A man who has resided
some time in Russia even grows to
doubt whether the notions of meum
and tuum are comprehended there As
they are in other countries. IL you
pay q visit and leave a cloak on the
seat of your carriage, that cloak is gone
when you come out. If you walk out
with a dog unclaimed. the dog vanish
es round street corner. Shopkeep-
ers are afraid to place articles of value
in their windows. Householders are
liable to have their horses and carri-
ages stolen if they do not keep a sufii-
Client number Of stable servants, and
take care to see before going to bed
that one at least of these servants is
sober. A man who goes out for q
night stroll unarmed may be set upon
within sight of a droschy stand and
stripped of every article he wears, in
GLIDING shirt and small clothes. The
droschky DRYERS will not give him a
helping hand; they will rather start
of altogether in . panic, lest they
should be summoned to give evidence ;
~ for the police, they hurry up after
wards, and make the despolled man
pay twice the value of the things he mas
lost, in fees for investigation. 1t ia
said that person influential enough
to make himself unpleasant to the po-
lice gets back his lost property in no
time the police will even restore him
the equivalent if they cannot recover
the actual articles.-[ Pail Mall Gazette

the other day at Reno. In speaking
of the wonder to q friend no said {:

A few days since, on Fifth street,
not far from Marshall's sfurniture-store
horse attached to Q wagon loaded
with Murphy water Ooh, excuse us,
we mean Seltzer water), declined to
bulge, pull, go, or do anything he
should do in the horse line. In other
words, the driver said he was balky
horse. OF course an animal of that
kind, demonstrating his stubborn dis.
position, always attracts large crowd,
and every body has some new remedy
to. suggest. The driver. who appeared
to be versed in "balkology," tried all
he could think of. First he tried
coaxing, next beating. then came man
who tied . strap to the horses leg, got
all the bystanders to pull; at the other
end, all to no purpose. Next put mud
in the mouth and ears, corn-cob under
tail. Then somebody says build . fire
under him, which was tried, and made
old balky warm; he started kicking,
splashed mud all over the bystanders
and broke two or three panes of glass.
which appeared to amuse old Balky
tip-top. He grinned, blinked, switch
ed his tail in most amusing fashion,
when all of sudden one of our DIS
tinguished officials hove in sight, and
like all the rest, asked permission to
try his cure of course it was granted,
as all the crowd was exhausted. The
aforesaid official commenced putting
his pants in his boots (well knowing
that the Street cleaning Fund had been
exhausted) and proceeded to his task.
He called Will Marshall and asked for
a newspaper. Will, who is always ac-
commodating, brought the Enquirer,
with q Rooster on one side, which
the modern Rarey first showed the
horse, and then proceeded to read
aloud the election returns of the day
previous. when all of q sudden the
dead silence Of the crowd was broken
with surprise and laughter, and old
Balky make one jump, switched his
tail and moved off at a lively gait.
Fact, we assure you.-LEnq.

THE EFFECT OF TOO MUCH
HLlGHT LITERATURE.H

u 6Sk VI 1OO UGH
ssLlGHT LITERATURE.,,
Edith Bentley, the school girl who
left Paterson, N. j., last Friday, to cast
her lot with q member of a travelling
minstrel band, is said to have been
passionately fond of light literature
the Sensational stories published in
pamphlet form and weekly newspa-
pers. She had pictured in her imagina-
tion the ideal of the hero she wished
to love, and she discovered him in the
wandering MINSTREL and d,clandestine-
ly leaving home and friends, she was
willing to blight the future of her life
by throwing herself into the power of
the man who had, while performing
ON the stage, appeared to her as the
personifcation of all that is noble and
virtuous. 1t is sad story, but one of
the fruits of the exciting ana emotion
al stuff sown broadcast over the land
from the presses of those whose aim
is to make money. Parents should
forbid its introduction into their homes.
Commenting on the subject the New
York Evening Post remarks very tru-
ly that 'ours is q reading age, and our
children will read something; it is for
parents to take care that the things
read shall be wholesome things. 1t is
not enough that bad books shall be
kept out of their hands; unless good
books, entertaining books which are
at the same time free from all manner
Of taint, are bought and kept within
the reach of the youth of our time, ac-
cess to bad books cannot be prevented
by merely repressive measures.'-

Hop II Looks.

The best opinion here is that the
House won't insist on the disclosure of
the New Orleans kilograms. Hewitt's
vote, the other day, against compelling
the disclosure, Is considered to signify
his possession Of inside information
that his party has no use for the sort of
testimony that the kilograms will dis
close on either hand.
Morton's earnestness relative to the
Oregon dispatches is believed to he
prompted by knowledge that the tele-
grams will furnish the missing links to
complete the chain of testimony prov
ing that the Cronin affair was engi-
neered directly by Tilden's right bower
in New York : !;tlts ~ t4s5 t4.A5 = =
Utah Knocking at Colun,bta's Door.
Delegate Cannon stated to-day that
he was confident of receiving favorable
action on the bill admitting Utah in the
Union, which is now in the hands of
the House territorial committee. He
claims it has better right to admis-
sion than Colorado. Inquiry develops
the probability that strong opposition
will be made to the bill. 1t is scheme
that promises to bring the entire Nor
mon question into prominence. Many
members think this question will have
to be settled one way or another by
Congress before Utah can become a
state. Mormon hostility to Gentle
settlers will prove the greatest STUN
bling block to the success of the bill.
Iilden's Finger in the Oregon Pie.
The elections committee to-day dis
covered that of the S25,000 sent
to Oregon, $4,000 were sent by direct
order of Col. William Pelton, nephew
of Tilden and secretary of the National
Democratic committee, also the chief
manager of the Tilden literary bureau.
The revelation is due to Morton's skill
as cross-examiner and to the stupid
ity of some Democrats connected with
the affair. The $4,000 were sent in a
draft through Martin & Runyon, of
New York, to Ladd & Bush, of Oregon.
Martin, who is a Republican, knew
nothing of the transaction except that
such draft was issued by his firm Dec.
9th. Runyon, Democrat, knew the
whole story, but refused to divulge,
though threatened with the discipline
of the Senate. The committee will re-
port to the Senate Runyon's refusal to
answer, and will ask that action be
taken to compel him. Hh'l

HOUSE.
Washington, Jan. 6.-Hoar has re-
ported bill for the sale of desert lands
in California, Oregon, Nevada, and the
Territories. 1t provides for the filing
of a declaration with the register and
receiver of land district in which dcs-
ert lands are situated, that the persons
are to reclaim tract of desert lands
not exceeding one section, by conduct
ing water upon the same within a per-
iod of three years thereafter, and upon
subsequent proof of such reclamation,
and the payment of S1.25 an acre for
such tract, a patent therefor shall be
issued. All the mineral and timber
lands are excluded. And all that will
not, without irrigation, produce some
agricultural crop, are to be deemed des-
ert lands. The bill was passed.
Goodwin reported bill to authoriZ e
the City of Cheyenne to enter and pur-
chase certain public lands within its
limits. Passed.

ment Of the agricultural college. Re-
ferred to the committee of the whole.
A bill was reported by Douglass au-
thorizing the sale of the property Of the

when it is for the interest of the bank
to do so. The bill passed.
The House then went into commit
tee of the whole on the consular appro-
priations bill.
Holman offered an amendment fixing
the salaries at reduced figures. The
committee rose without action, and the
House then considered the District of
Columbia business.

The Baby Bennett Business.

A"C A|uVy LDthhctt kSoottecos
New York, Jan. 6.-There are con-
Trajectory rumors about the proba-
BILE result of the assault of
Frederick May upon James Gordon
Bennett. 1t is still in question wheth-
er Bennett received blows from whip
or from Mays fist, neither or both.
Benefits friends are divided between
two equally positive opinions, one being
to the effect that Bennett will be con-
tent with nothing less than blood, and
the other that he has no intention of
provoking fight.
Bennett Wants Blood.
This mornings Times says there is
no longer any doubt that the Bennett
May trouble will end in duel if, in
deed, it has not already taken place.
Canada is undoubtedly the place of
meeting. A Times reporter last even
ing interviewed DR.. May. The old
gentleman was very much agitated and
at first declined to converse upon the
subject of his sons whereabouts, but
subsequently stated that he had left
home the previous evening. The Doc
tor had evidently been weeping, and
his nervous depression and tremulous
voice told but too plainly the solicitude
he felt for his son.
B.. Something Strange.
The bank average of gold on the
weekly statement is 5000, 900 higher
than the greenback average. Such a
thing has not happened since the origi-
nal issue Of greenbacks in 1862.

The Outlook.

London, Jan. 6.-The war question
was never SO muddled as now. The
sticking point of the conference is
practically the proposition to put Bull
garia in the hands of European receiv-
ers. This the Turks stubbornly decline,
because the Sultan believes his subjects
will revolt if it is accepted, which
would necessarily provoke hostilities by
the great powers against Turkey, who
would thus play to Russia's game, for
