demands Gin the halls of legistation) what
they may, the farmer must patiently sub
nit. But it should not be the policy of any
interest, though in power, to, crush and
trample upon that whichis weak. During
the session of the Legislature there was an
attempt made to. levy a tax upon ores and
bullion, but the measure met with no sup
port whatever from the representatives of
the mining districts. But a railroad bill,
whose avowed object is to benefit this branh
OF industry, was passed. Now, will the
farmers and s~tock-growers, in a revengeful
spirit, hurl back their yetofrom the polls, or
will they wait with, patience the slow pro-
gress Of time and the wisdom of future legis-

Of love. "Are we Americans to
believe" asks a Russian sympa-
thizer, shat the whole of European
Christsndom ought to be turned
upside down and ravaged by the
blood and iron of war, merely to
prevent Russia from being as near
q neighbor to England in India as
she is now to Prussia and Sweden
in Europel' We unhesitatingly
answer, NOT Americans are not
asked to believe this. because 1t Is
not the case. Neither Turkey nor
England has turned European
Christendom upside down, and
ravaged il by the blood and iron of
war. The whole merit OF that
achievement rests with Russia,
which for purposes Of selfish ter
ritorial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, was first
to declare war in a manner utterly
uniustifiable, and which now pro-
poses to substitute a rule from
which all liberal and enlightened
Europe shrinks with horror, for
that which has afforded refuge
for the exiles and the prosecuted
of the oppressed nationalities of
Christendom. 1t is for this reason,
and not because we care how near
Russia is to England, that we be-
lieve those writer's and journals
of the United States who sympa-
thize with the cause of freedom in
all countries must now withhold all
sympathy or support from Russia.

May 20.--The Russians are yet
unable to cross the Danube. The
strength of the Russian army on
the Danube is variously estimated
from 100000 to 45U,000, and great
difficulty is said to be experienced
in getting sufficient supplies for
the troops. The Turkish force on
the Danube is estimated at 200, 900,
but their position is strengthened
by forts and monitors. The Turks
in Europe are acting on the de-
fensive. 1t is believed that Eng
land and Austria will yet help the
Turks. The war feeling in both
countries is strong. A Russian
corps is said to have been station
ed in the Crimea in order to keep
the Tartars in that district in con-
troll. Hungarian and Polish legions
are organizing to resist the Rus

rear of the Russians is endangered
by the reported uprising Of the
Circassians and the Turkish forces
in Sookgoomkale. The Russians
officially, claim to have captured
Arabian, with its Notifications, cit
adel, sixty guns, and immense
stores of provisions and ammuni-
tions. The Turks, officially, claim
to have repulsed the Russians in a
battle near Sookgoomkale. Both
parties are lying extensively, and
it is difficult to decide which can lie
the most.

ton duly made, deliver up to justice all
persons who may be charged with, or

aliy within said jurisdiction where the
same shall seek an asylum, or shall be
found within the territories of the other;
provided that such surrender shall take
place only upon such evidence of crimi-
nality. as, acco riding to the laws of the
nlace where the fugitive or person 80

convention who shall have been charged

ing crimes: Murder, attempt to com

NEWEST FASHIONS.
Novslties mt Home and Abroad.

A droli fancy lately developed at cos
tune balls--which, by the way, are in
high favor abroad at the present time
promises to be quite the fashion. This
consists of travestying the head only, and
produces, as may be imagined, both gro
tesque and frightful effects, the ordinary
ball toilets appearing in violent contrast
with the parodied polls rising out of
them.
Among the more pleasing de~lineations
was that of "The Marvellous Cat" in
which the head of a fine specimen of the
feline race was seen peeping from out the
powdered couture of a lady robed a la
mode. This same idea wa illustrated on
another occasion, when entire travesty
was the rule, with a dress of white satin,
bordered about with soft white fur and
gloves and shoes, with claw-l like termina-
lions, added. The fancy for arraying
themselves as actresses has likewise pos
sessed the fashionable world, and ladies
are actually copying not only the cos
tunes but the characteristics of their
models.
Gauze scarfs which are draped in many
different styles are in vogue now, and
there have been several novel adapta-
tons Of them recently. A remarkable
specimen worn on the occasion of Miss
Roosevelt's wedding, over a rich toilet of
white satin, was of pale-blue eauze--a
tint known as moonlight--and richly en-
broidered with a shower of snow-balls,
the fringe composed of artificial flowers
to match. Another unique one, of the
Ll g l1,,o pva. aIiya Nth tha
designs OF flying swallows.
In evening shoes the novelty consists
in wearing the buckle and bow at the
side and not in the centre of the foot.
This will hardly prove more than a pass
ing within, a it detracts from the SYM
metry and adds to the size of the feet.
Delicate shades for evening wear have
gained at last the victory over dark hues,
and cardinal red is already a thing of the
past. Gray is the prevailing color among
spring woollen fabrics, which are show
ing a goodly supply of exceedingly fine
checks.
In purchasing black materials ladies
are more and more studying the needs
idea that this is necessary only where
colors are concerned, having long ago ex-
ploded. To set off to advantage the
freshness of a blonde or the fairness of a
red-haired woman, a soft shade, as the
black of velvet, is wanted, while for a
brunette the black ought to be enlIven-
ed by a glossy appearance, such as is OBJ
tanned in Lyons satin or silk, @r ever in
faille.
II is de bon ton to remove ones cloak
or other outside wrap in the ante-room, as
for a ~soiree, that nothing less brilliant
may be seer in the reception room ever
in daylight, than charming toilets with
coauetiish tonnets to match.

The San Francisco Alta says that, from
cause not easily explained, California, and
perhaps San Francisco, in particular, fur
nishes more cases of paralysis than does any
other section of the country, if not of the
world.
A Victoria dispatch says the govern
ment has decided to send a gunboat to the
island where the Indians report the crew of
the George S. Wright were murdered. The
tribe to which the alleged murderers belong
is said to be small but warlike. The Indians
who make the statement offer to conduct
the gunboat to the bay where the bones Of
the murdered are still to be found.

my asi also plainly shown Ivy the fact that
old customers who were wont 10 purchase
cigars Of a superior quality are now CON
tent with those Of an inferior grade.
Cigar manufacturers, on the contrary,
deny that cigarettes are taking the place
of cigars, and while admitting the great
increase IN the sale OF cigarettes, regard
it as a fashion among smokers, and not a
matter of economy. They further de
clare that the greatest economy is shown
by the trade in the purchase of interior
cigars. The high priced cigars once
largely sold, are now manu- actured in
smaller quantities owing to the hard
times. This does not include the very
finest quality of Havana cigars, which
we're heretofore obtained almost exclu-
sively from abroad. Their manufacture
is now carried on in the country and to
a great extent has usurped the trade
formerly confined to Havana and Key
West. because here they can be made
and sold much cheaper. The manufac-
turers at those places are said to have
become greatly alarmed at the increas-
ing trade in fine cigars in this country.
Domestic manufacturers affirm in relation
to the prevailing custom of cigarette
smoking, that it is injurious because GER
tain poisonous ingredients are used in
preparing the paper of which the cutter
covering is made.

The Invention of Punctuation.

The invention of the modern system
of punctuation has been attributed TO
the Alexandrian grammarian Aristoph-
anes, after whom it was improved by
succeeding P%rsmmarians, but it was SO
entirely lost in the time of Charlemagne
that he found IL necessary to have 1t re-
stored by Warnerfried and Alcuin. 1t
consisted at first of only ore point, used
in three ways, and sometimes Of a stroke
formed in several ways. But as no par
ticular rules were followed in he use Of
these signs, punctuation was exceedingly
uncertain until the end of the fifteenth
century, when the learned Venetian
printers. the Manutii, increased the num-
Der of signs, and established some fixed
rules for their application. These were
