Black Hills Brigands.

A letter from Cheyenne, w. T., gives
the following particulars of the last
robbery of the Deadwood and Cheyenne
mail coach
The coach had a guard of two soldiers,
the division agent, Benham, and Express
Manager Scott Davis, beside the driver,
Charles Denna. The coach is known as
the regular treasure coach, carrying a
small steel safe supposed to be burglar
proof. 1t is secured firmly to the coach
with iron bands and rods, so that in case
it is even released the robbers will have
hard labor TO secure the treasure. After
leaving the old stockade they watched
and safely passed two of the "old
places, or where they had been robbed
before, and were about to congratulate
themselves that they had passed all dan
ger when the word 4" Halt % and rifle
shot was heard. Davis raised his gun
and fired at where he supposed the rob-
bers were lying. This was signal for
a general fire from them. Not one of the
party on the stage except Davis fired a
shot. The soldiers dropped their guns and
jumped from the coach running as hard
as their legs could carry them, seeking
safety in the darkness. Davis continued
firing until shell burst in the chamber
of his rifle and he was unable to extri-
cate it, and then, and not until then, did
he give up. The robbers, now having
everything their own way, arose from
their hiding-places and searched each
one for what valuables they could find.
They soon saw it was useless to try to
break the safe loose, and, after taking
the guns and revolvers away from the
party, and telling them that after ex-
aiming the arms by daylight, if they
found any they did not want, the arms
would be left at certain tree close by,
the robbers departed, leaving the ex-
press men to themselves, who, after wait
ing for the brave boys in blue to return
to the front, started on their weary ride
to Hat creek.

Mehemet and Suleiman.

The assertion that the Turkish Cabi-
net really distrusts foreigners in the
Ottoman armies, or is not disposed to
favor them, is borne out by the removal
of Mehemet Ali from the command of
the armies in Bulgaria. Mehemet Ali is
a German by birth, and his real name is
Karl Detroit. He ran away from school,
went to Constantinople, became the ia
vorite of Ali Pasha, then Minister of
Foreign Affairs, was converted to Mo-
hammedanism, was sent to the military
academy at Constantinople, was made a
Captain in 1854, and gradually rose to
the rank of Major General. He sue
ceeded Abdul Kerim as Commander-in-
Chief a few months ago, and all the Turk
ish successes have been achieved since
he took command. Suleiman Pasha,
the new Commander-in-C Chief, has done
nothing in this campaign to distinguish
himself, except to pound away at
Schipka pass.

White.Hat Day.

Wednesday was "whiie.hat day" on
the New York Stock Exchange. Formal
notice had been given early in the week
that at noon all summer "tiles" would
be " called in, but many of the men,
bers either forgot or disregarded the
warning, and suffered in consequence.
About p. m. he entered the Exchange
in brown study, with his thumbs
thrust in the arm-holes of his waistcoat
In a moment his tall, white hat was
whirling in the air, and as it touched
the floor again twenty brokers jumped
upon it. This sort of diversion was
kept up all the afternoon. Whenever a
person entered wearing the prescribed
headgear shout went up, and generally,
before the alarmed broker could run the
gantlet, his hat was crushed out of
shape. Late in the afternoon at least
one-third of the brokers doing business
on the floor were bareheaded, and doz-
ems of crushed white hats were whirling
in the air or ornamenting the gas brack-
cts. Straw hats were treated even in a
worse manner. They were torn apart
in many instances, and the floor was
strewn with the fragments. A favorite
trick was to approach an unconscious,
bare-headed broker from behind and pull
a dilapidated white tile down over his
face and ears. His frantic efforts to dis
lodge it were Murdered by hundreds of
willing hands. One old fellow, whose
head had been ornamented with the
lining of dismembered hat by another
joker, started "walk around" The
other members formed ring and ap-
plauded him vociferously, until the
Chairman raped them to order. The
neighboring matters drove brisk trade
in the evening,-NelU York Letter.

A Strange Presentiment.

The death by drowning OF Jacob
Wilderborg yesterday brought to light
some singular facts showing that the I'M
fortunate man had a remarkable present
iment of his impending fate. Wider
borg, who was u years of age, was in
the employ of Lewis NJ Smith, in Fell's
Point market. He was directed by Mr..
Smith to place a barrel of beef on a YES
sci lying in the stream. Wilderborg
procured boat at the foot of Fell street,
from Robert Rolls, in which, at his re-
quest, sail was set, and proceeded to
Henderson's wharf. The barrel was
then placed on the boat. Before push
ing off he handed to Mr.. Rolls one of
Mr.. Smiths tags, on which he wrote his
name. At the same time he gave him
so cents, saying, If am drowned this
will give you my place of residence. "
He then started for the vessel, but had
not proceeded far before his boat seemed
to be at the mercy of the wind, and
drifted into the trough of the waves.
He apparently lost his presence of mind
and also the control of the boat, which,
by the action of the waves and the wind,
was capsized and he was thrown into
the water. A number of persons were
on the wharf at the time, and, observing
Wilderborg struggling in the water, sew
eral boats were manned and started to his
rescue. Before they succeeded in get
ting near him, however, he disappeared
beneath the water and was drowned.
Efforts were Immediately made to re-
cover the body, and, after dragging
several hOurs those engaged in the work
were successful. DIR. Ireland, Coroner,
deemed an inquest unnecessary. The
body was removed by the friends of the
deceased to the Hebrew hospital, on
East Monument street, where it was
prepared for Observation-Disclosures Ga

French Finances.

The Bank of France is permitted by
the law under which specie payments
were suspended to resume when the
debt owed it by the Government is re-
duced to 100000, 900. The date fixed
for liquidation of the debt to this point
was Jan. /, 1878. But already the re-
duction has progressed SO far that but
81, 900, 900 remain to be paid in order to
bring down the figures of the debt to
$50, 900, 900, the last statement of the
Bank of France showing that So, 900, 900
have been lately paid by the Government.
The resources of the Government allow
it to pay the balance of 50, 900, 900 at any
moment, but it is believed that the let
ter of the law will be so followed as not
to resume specie payments before the
date set.
An idea can be had of the manner in
which the national debt of France is
distributed among the people from the
following figures. The number of men
in France over 81 years is about
1000, 900, and the number of bond-hold-
ers nearly 4,500,000

Russia,s Financial Difficulties.

A correspondent of the New York
Times writes that the Odessa merchants
will not give more than 5000 silver
roubles for Fl, 900 paper roubles. That
is to say, one silver rouble is worth 81
paper roubles. The paper rouble is
deprecated III per cent, or is worth
only 2SI cents Of its face. Americans
who are accustomed to see the greenback
price of gold quoted, instead OF the gold
price OF greenbacks, will perhaps under
stand the situation better from the state
ment that at the above figure silver
would be quoted at $50 in Russian paper
at Odessa. The advance from 10 or
lis to $50 has taken place within five
months. With us the highest quotation
of gold during the civil war was 2S5, and
this figure was not reached until the fall
of 1864, forty-two months or more after
the commencement of the war. Russian
paper has fallen sixty-five points lower
in less than five months than greenbacks
fell in forty-two months. Ii the depre-
citation goes on, as it certainly will un-
less the issue is stopped, Russian paper
will become utterly worthless before two
months more have passed away.
About the LIST of January last the pa
per money of Russia outstanding was
734, 732, 900 roubles, or about $500, 600,
QUO. During the twelve months pre-
ceding that date the Imperial Bank. which
issues the paper money, lost $50, 900, 900
of it's coin reserve. During the five
months following $1,000, 600 roubles
more in notes was issued. We can only
Judge as to the issues since May by the
depreciation, which would indicate an
emission of an amount equivalent to at
least $300,000,000. The total paper
money of the empire at the present time
is probably not less than $3.50, 600, 900.
1t is evident from the statement of the
correspondent above cited that Russia
cannot much longer depend upon new
issues of paper money. 1t must obtain
the means for prosecuting the war in
some other way. 1t can no longer Dor.
row from foreign capitalists, and home
loans have never proved very successful
Possibly one might succeed now, wher
the war fever is raging so fiercely, but il
is more likely that the Government will
have to resort to forced loan. Wheth
er the war fever will continue to burr
under the assuaging influence of such &
measure remains to be seen.

The Field of Pleyna.

The roads from Poradim toward the
old battlefield of Plevna-it seems al
ready as if the affair occurred a century
ago-are in an indescribably bad condi-
ton; retreat along them would be al
most an impossibility; so that it seems
as II the Russians must go ahead in any
case. Hundreds of dead still lie I'M
buried on this terrible field, and. sad to
relate, but true, the ownerless dogs that
infest this country have eaten the corpse
OF many brave hero. This is one of
the most revolving features of the pres
ent campaign. There has been no
chance for the Russians to give Chris
tian burial to these unfortunates: thew
lay too near the intrenchments from
which the Turks can at any time pour
forth murderous fire. The stencil from
the field in this terrible climate is sim
ply intolerable for human beings: one is
compelled to fly as rapidly as possible;
even the horses scream with disgust when
they are compelled to approach this
CHASTITY array of the results of violent
death. Here and there lie mutilated
bodies, rotting in sun and rain. Sucb
spectacles sometimes move the Russian
soldiers to terrible threats of vengeance.
which their officers will not allow them
to fulfill.

titled to only the young animals we cap
ture. The beautiful skins of the
leopards, lions. and other animals we
kill, the tusks of the elephants, the
feathers of the ostriches, and all other
similar spoils go to the native sheikhs and
chiefs and these old rascals are as sharp
at trade as the shrewdest old clio
merchant you have in Chatham street.
In the encampments the natives as
sist in taking care of the animals and do
general work, but the mental duties are
performed by Nubian slaves, who are
very cheap and can be bought in num-
bers to suit Among the natives the
women are looked upon as inferior.
Women never eat with their husbands.
The husband is allowed four wives and
as many slaves as he can corral.
A sufficient number and variety of
animals having been secured, caravan
is formed to take them across the desert
to Germany or America. This usually
consists of about one hundred camels,
each having its native driver thirty or
forty horses for the white men and Arab
hunters and their attendants flock OF
from $50 to 200 goats, for their milk and
also for food, and black slaves to look
out for the goats. The wild animals are
secured in strong boxes and carried on
the camels' backs. They are all young,
and are fed principally with goats milk,
although occasionally, to keep them in
good spirits and fine condition, they are
given pieces of raw goats meat. Horses
are very cheap there, ranging from S15
to $40 each-the natives even cheaper,
81 being thought an extravagant price
per man for the trip. Milking goats are
worth 81 each, and others about 30 cents.
The journey usually occupies from
thirty to forty days, and all travelling is
done between and IL o'clock in the
morning and and IL in the evening.
During midday the suns rays are SO
! fiercely hot as to make labor or travel
ing hazardous, and none is attempted.
The route home is much the same as
that taken going out, and in due time
the beasts are landed, usually with very
little loss, ON the great stock wild ami
NAL farm of Charles Reiche & Bro, in
Alfeldt, Hanover. There they remain
until needed to fill orders of showmen in
either Europe or America, while their
hardy captors take three months OF resi-
and recreation before starting on an
other trip.
The Reiche Bros. have nearly $780,.
900 invested in this enterprise, which
they have successfully conducted fol-
many years. The extravaganza of the
prices paid for some beasts is little
known. AS high as $4,000 has been
paid for single hippopotamus in good
condition. To-day $50, 900 would hard.
ly buy specimen, as there is not one
in the country that is known to be fol
sale. A rhinoceros is worth from
$1,000 to $1,000, according to the de-
mand and excellence. Giraffes sell fol
81, 900 to $4,000, lions from $500 tc
81, 800, leopards from 5000 to $400
hyenas about the same, and ostrichei
from $500 to $500. Elephants vary il
price, for, while some have sold for al
low as $1,000, as high as $4,000 has
been paid without grumbling for fine
big, intelligent one.--Neao York Times

fAMINE,S HORRORS.
Women Boiling And Eating Their Own
Babies In India.

Babies In India.
The st. Louis Republican publishes
the following private letter, written by a
magistrate on the island called Paum-
beu, in India, to his brother in Missouri:
ct am 80 fearfully sick of this dread
full famine; people dying of starvation
all around and out of ones power to as
sist. Returning from my morning ride
one day this week found a woman in
the last stage of starvation, and although
1 procured sage and brandy for her the
poor creature died. 1 am to hold a
meeting this evening to start private
congee house to relieve the necessities
of some. Every day we give rice and
money out of our own resources, but it
is heavy drain. Rice sells at twenty
five shillings bag of 164 pounds, which
last year could be bought for eighteen
shillings, and of course everything is
dear in proportion in tile vegetable line;
but cows and poultry are to be bought
in the same place for nominal sums only.
The people have nothing to feed them
on, and in some places there is actually
famine of water as well as food. Grass
is an article of importation, and pays for
its conveyance. We feed about 800 peo-
pie daily, one meal a day only, giving
but enough to keep them alive. We
cannot afford to give more, as we shall
have, probably, to feed them for four
months, perhaps longer. Last month
was great festival time among the Hin.
docs, but, owing to the famine, not
many came to market, although there is
temple here much frequented by de.
voices. Sometimes, after landing Oh
the shore, they roll the whole way eight
miles, to pay their devotions. In one
t,,leeg $4,000 died of starvation in q
month. In our district 20, 900 died il
May. Is it not terrible You cannot
imagine what scenes we Indians see anC
hear daily. Can you fancy a woman
boiling and eating her own baby? Thai
occurred not many miles from here only
last week. When possible superintent
