RUSSIA STRIKES ILE.-Yankees are to sink
wells and refine petroleum in the ol-regions
OF Russia, on the western shore OF the Cas-
plan sea. Agents, representing one Of the
wealthiest firms in st. Petersburg, haye
recently made a tour OF the oil-regions OF
Pennsylvania, and have purchased and ship
ped to Russia all the machinery necessary
for drilling and sinking wells. To operate
this machinery number OF experienced oil
drillers have been engaged, at the head Of
whom is George Adams, of Oil City. These
men are to be paid large sums in gold.
The Caspian oil-welIs average about six
hundred feet in depth, and produce daily
from forty to two hundred barrels each.
The oil is very heavy. having specific
gravity of thirty, and is comparatively free
from sediment. 1t has to be carried many
hundred miles up the Caspian sea and
the Volga river to Novgorod, whence it
has to be shipped by rail to st. Petersburg.
The cost OF transportation has been SO heavy
that American oil has always been sold at
lower rates than Russian oil. The Car,
realizing what on important industry caE
be created in his country by fostering the
development OF its oil territory, has direct
ed the imposition Of a tax equivalent to
$3.50 barrel on all foreign oil.

One Of the best solutions Of the tramp
problem comes from Williamstown, Mass.
In accordance with the State law the citi-
Zens of that village entertain their stray
guests overnight at the lookup, and in the
morning make them pay for their lodging
and breakfast by working for the Village
Improvement Society. The expense OF the
town is thus reduced to a minimum, and
the Society gets such work as lawn-raklng,
road-tilling, and ditch-digging for mere
song. Sentimentalists also may see noble
feature in this arrangement in the chance
it offers the tramps to cultivate astneuc
tastes.
A Washington letter-writer has. it from
undoubted authority that President Hayes
at one time seriously thought OF putting ex-
Governor Jewell, OF Connecticut, in his
Cabinet. He asked a prominent senator
what sort OF man Jewell was. "Jeweil,"
said the senator, g is fine combination of
white hair and white shirt bosoms, with no
brains under the one and no heart behind
the other"
General Carl Schur2 was not wounded du-
ring the war, but that ought not to inter-
fere with bis retirement under full pay.
The rebel bullets meant well, but, being
aimed atSchurz's legs, their failure to sue
