RUSSIAN CoRRUPTIoNs.-Ever time

ing barrack, that place Immediately be-
comes a show. When His Majesty went
to Odessa, the Colonel of the Briskat.
startines spent several thousand pounds
in making his men and their quarters look
sumptuous. For three days the men
lived in clover-new clothes, good din
ners, money in their pockets, vodki to
drink, and clean rugs to lie down upon.
No wonder their loyalty was pleasantly
stimulated towards the sovereign whose
presence could copjure up such blessings
but az soon as the well-intentioned but
not Ubiquitous monarch had turned his
back, things relapsed into their old
groove, which is one of squalor. The
money that is set down in the estimates
for the keep of regiment is amply suf-
ficient if it reaches it's destination; but q

the brigade general next mislays q por.

thinks he should be zany if he did no,
levy his due commission upon the re.
mainder. The impulse thus given FROM
above extends to the lowest officers who
is intrusted with single rouble for regi.
mental use.

SITTING ON LOCOMOTIvE.-The loco
motive astonishes the elephants of India
quite % much as it does the buffaloes OF
the great American plains. The Rangoon
Times mentions one elephant in particu.
lar that was very badly astonished:
A passenger-train, running on An out
ward trip, had gone about thirty-five
miles from Rang0On, when large ele-
phant was seen to break through the
fence and get on the line. Steam was
shut of, and Mr.. Stone tried to open the
waste cocks, which being in front of the
engine would, by ejecting hot water some
distance ahead, induce "tusks" TO leave
the track. The cock WAS slightiy stiff
and could not readily be opened and the
engine .as sooa upon the o.sortuna,e
beast.
The brute had turned tail aNi fed %
seeing the engine. but Was speedily
caught. The buffer beams Of the engine
being very low, the beasts hind iegs vsre

NEVER GIVE UP.-The Geneua Courier,
speaking of Mr.. William Farman, who
is now in prosperous circumstances, re-
marks:
"Mr. Farmans experience affords a
rare example Of what perseverance will
do against almost constantly recurring
misfortunes. He came from England
about twenty-five years ago, without
any means whatever. Two or three
times, after he had earned q few huud.
red dollars, he was made penniless by the
misfortunes or the dishonesty of other
W, SONS; and when finally he got enough
together to begin farming on his own &C.
count, he was burned out, and financially
ruined; and be and his family narrowly
escaped with their lives"
Many man Who is nov classed in the
great army Of trsmps securing the coun.
try has been driven to q wandering, vaga-
i'ond life by misfortunes far less serious
than these.
Perseverance, generally overcomes ac-
camulsted obstacles, and is rewarded
with success. Bat this 10 not all. Its

Too Smart.

One vice to which we Americans take
kindly is 'emartness." Its aim is to get
over or through, no matter what morality
or person may stand in the way, and thus
get on. An Englishman, Gaveling in
Norway, once encountered an American
addicted to this vice. The Englishman
with large party, among whom were
six ladies, landed at Tromoso at two
o'clock IN the morning. He had tele-
grapbed tc the hotel for rooms two days
before bis arrival. But the landlady and
all the servants were sound asleep when
at that early hour he Knocked at the
hotel door.
A young American, who also had land
ed from the same steamer, thought be
would steal Q march upon the English
company. So he forced his way into the
hotel BY a back door, took possession OF
the best double. bedded room, locked the
door, pockeied the key, and was walking
away, when the landlady Inquired II 1t
vas he Who had sent the telegram.
He nodded, though he did not speak
il, "Yes."
When the English party were allowed
to enter Through the front door, IN ex-
PLANTATION followed which showed up the
A~erican's smartness. The Indignant
lsndlsdy demanded Of him the setarn 81

A COLLECTORS STRATAGEM.-While
collecting not long since, Mr.. johnson
had the following experience at fine
mansion on the west side:
A little girl responded to the ringing
of the door bell, and in reply to Mr.. John
sons inquiry as to whether her mother
was at home, said: mamma says fol
me to tell you she amt in to-day. She's
gone out"
"Ah," remarked the impurturbed cir.
culator, without moving q muscle OF his
countenance, "please 90 and ask hel
where she is gone"
The insufiiciently trained girl ran
through the hall toward q rear room,
shouting: "Mamms, he wants to know
where you have gone to-"
A sfhothered exclamation and blow
followed by q child's shrek of terror,
was heard, q door was Afterwards loudly
slammed, and finally q very red faced
women bearing fifty cents, due the Posl
for one quarter, appeared ON the scene
and deposited the money in the collec-
tors hands Is u peace offering. -Cisss-
