The Economist still holds to its apprehen-

it said that the events Of the ensuing autumn

The War Developing Russia.

The Manchester (Eng) Examiner pub
fishes letter from an English traveller in
Russia, who takes a decidedly optimist
view of the condition of affairs in that
empire. He says: "When the War at
tecled the resources of the treasury, pay
ments in gold of all duties upon imported
goods were instituted. This for Il brief
moment brought some help to the govern
mcnt, but speedily reacted upon the de-
mand for foreign goods, so that importa-
lion diminished rapidly. As importation
Of foreign goods ceased the home manu-
facture immensely increased, and "a rapid
development was given to the internal re-
sources of the county. The exports of
grain, tallow, timber, etc, being paid in
gold, fetched much higher rouble price
than ever before, and as the paper money
had not deprecated in the country, the
buying power of the agriculturists
and all connected Herewith rapidly
increased. Again, as articles If lux
ury became excessively high, owing to
low exchange and duties payable IA gold,
the demand rapidly diminished. Iusead
of champagne and French wines, beer
was substituted, and breweries in all di-
rections are being erected. Tue fashions,
too, have changed. Everything Russian
is now demanded instead of reign pro-
ductions. R.trenchment among all classes
is most manifest, and the usual extrava-
gancss so characteristic of Russians have
received great check. Wealthy Rus
SLAMS are we'll known as great travellers.
They now stay at home. The sudden
closing up of external resources has
caused the spirit of enterprise for the in
ternal development to spring up, and
Russia is on the way to find that she may
supply herself with more of the necessi-
ties than she ever dresmt of. This i, i'm
mensely aided by the network of railroads
now in full operation in Russia. Daring
the Crimean war she had not 500 miles Of
railways, all told. Size has now about
$4,000 miles. There has recently been q
great development of the gold workings
in the Uial. Formerly the washings of
the sands of brooks AMI rivers were the
only sources, now they are working out
the solid deposits to great advantage. In
case of II long war, no starvation or nljecs
misery could befall IN empire like Russia.
The people could at least exist, for the COM
mon necessities of life are abundant.
The woman and children form great
portion of the ,illeN of the soil There
is SO much land that a primitive and
wasteful style of farming does not much
effect the superintendent resources for

Twenty Years.

Twenty years lifetime seems,
he look abead-but dreams
When our glance is backward cast
To the sad or happy past;
Many smiles and many tears
Have been ours these twenty years.
Many sorrows we have known;
Many hopes been overthrow,
Which we thought to realize,
That would make us good and wise,
Blighted hopes. and griefs, and fears,
In the lapse Of twenty years.
But, as we recall the past,
Something more than adverse blast
Has been ours, Lilq's sunny side
Has not been to us denied;
Not one half this time appears,
In the bliss of twenty years.
Gladson was sweet childhood days:
Not one cloud to dim the rays,
That shoue DER us in the past,
But they were too bright to last;
Lights and shadows, smiles and tears,
Is the lot OF twenty years.
Friends were many, foes were few.
Hearts had never proved untrue,
And our path was strewn with flowers,
In those bright and happy hours;
When we think of this, it cheers
Ons's sad heart of twenty years.

our country sought by foreigners, but
toys formerly made abroad are manu-

also tin and wooden toys, which much
