A RUSSIAN DETRCTIVE STORY.

The zeal of the Russian detectives some
times leads 20 most cOmical bunders. One OF the pro
fessors OF the Vladimir gymnasium received from stu
dent in Moscow which fell into the hands OF the
police 1t contained this mysterious phrase, THE reign
of the Cucumber has commenced with u.s." This struck
the official in blue as highly suspicious. What was
meant by the reign OF the CucumberP plot against
the State might be brewing. He Immediately sent po
cemen to take professor into custody and fetch him
to st. Petersburg and the feelings Of the professor dur
ing the Journey may be readily imagined On his
in the capital he imprisoned and for whole fort
night remained in his section without seeing SOUL won
dering what had done and what would become Of him
At last he brought before the great nctonary and
terrOgaed to the meaning Of this ysterou, phrase

" Red for the patriots blood.
Green for the martyrs crown,
White for the dew and the rime,
When the morning Of God comes down"

IN the Winter of 1856 the author first made Miss
Eushman's acquaintance, during the early part of
her residence in Rome. At that time the social at
fractions of the Eternal City were of the most bril-
liant character. Rome had not the slightest presage
of the marvellous changes which have since taken
place. She in all her glory as the religious me-
tIOpolis of the world and passed through all her
ecclesiastical phases with the precision of divine
law To those who then for the first time tasted
the delights of the wondrous city it was hard
TO feel an emotion Of disappointment.
Miss Cushman entered into all its pleasures
with an ardent zest, and impaired her own en-
thusiasm to every one with whom she came in con-
tact. She was in the fulness of all her powers. In
her personal appearance there was winning charm
far above mere beauty of feature. She had a
stately presence, movement always graceful and
impressive, a warm healthy complexion, wavy,
chestnut hair and magnificent eyes. Go where she
might. she was always the commanding figure in
the scene Her great intellectual force was blended
with singular sweetness and sympathy. produc-
ing an attraction which none but the coldest
natures could resist, and which was no less

The selling prices of farm produce
given ia the last table, as will be no
ticed, are far below any prices ruling
IN this county, while the prices of
merchandise are about the samoa
consequent gain to the farmer.
Now, then, when We compare the
figures of the 1873 transaction with
those OF 1861, We fad that there is an
actual difference Of about 70 per ccnt
IN favor Of the farmer, as shown by
the purchasing power OF his produce.
La compiling these statements resort
has been made TO the market reports
for the entire wears spoken Of and q
fair average made. giving the advan-
tage of ali doabts to the produce side
This showing would hold equally
good in nearly every department of
trade where the necessarie5 aud luxur-
les Of life are concerned.
Thus much for the farmer. Now

fact demonstrated by figures. On the
contrary their earnings will purchase
more to-day than double their present
