Retributive Justice.

ApropOs OF an item of news which
comes all the way from Italy, and is to
the effect that Mrs. John Lorrimer Ora
ham, wife, nOwwidow, of our former con-
sui to Florence, is about TO marry her
first husbands Italian secretary, there is
little story. Mrs. LOrrimer was be
fore her marriage Miss Josephine Gar
ner, daughter of the millionaire prOprie-
tor of numerous great cotton manufac-
tories. Mr.. Graham belonged to good
family, but had no fortune, and was oc-
cupYing the position of confidential
clerk in Mr.. Gamers office when he mar
ried his daughter. At the time of a
business crisis, about 1857, when no man
felt safe, Mr.. Garner, as a precautionary
measure, placed 500, 900 in his son-in-
laws keeping, not as a gift, but in trust
against possible contingencies. Those
possibilities became realities. Mr.. Gar
ner failed, but relied on his reserve fund
to begin life anew. He applied to his
son-in-law for the money, but Mr.. John
LOrrimer Graham declined to relinquish.
He had it, and he was determined to
keep it.

Foreign Crop and Grain Trade.

LONDON, July I9.-The Mark Lane Ia
press says: Wheat now looks strong and
healthy. Wheat ears in certain districts are
complained of as puny compared with the
luxuriant growth of the rest of the plant,
and not well filled with grain. Although
the dry atmosphere and sunshine have done
wonders in improving the prospects of the
crop, it should not cause surprise if the yield
on threshing reveals a deficiency, as the
excessive moisture from which the plant
suffered probably left some disease behind
it. In Scotland the weather has been sea-
sonable. The cereal crop is maturing salts
factorly. Barley does not seem to have
sustained so much in jury as in England.
Oats are sadly thinned by a grub. SINH
lar advices have been received from
Ireland, but it is very disheartening to find
that disease has broken out on potatoes to
which earlier sorts have already succumbed.
Should the weather prove wet there is little
doubt the main bulk of potatoes will be IT.

Two Snakes Killing a. RaccOOn.

A fishing party, on the banks of Shoal
creek, Jasper county, Mo-, heard a noise
in the underbrush, and going II the d.
rection of the sounds, saw large coon
and two large black snakes in deadly
combat, the former getting the worst of
the fight. One of the reptiles was coiled
around the coon's body, and whenever it
attempted to use its teeth the other
snake struck at It's eyes. 1t attempted
to retreat, but the snake which encircled
it dropped coil, and as quick as
thought took a "half hitch around a
small sapling. 1t tried hard to pull
loose, and while its energies were bent in
that direction, the other snake took a
coil around the cOon's neck, and in a
few minutes choked the life out of it.
The spectators, who had been dumb
witnesses of the struggle, advanced and
killed the victors. One measured nine
feet and the other seven feet six inches.

A Successful RuSe.

The peculiar temperament of the ma
tive troops in British India, and the
most etficaciOus method of dealing with
them, are strikinyly illustrated by a
story told of veteran English officer
who is still living. Shortly after he had
assumed the command of the TIL ma
tive Bengal infantry, a complaint was
brought to him one evening of theft
which had just ben committed in the
barracks, to the Ierpetrator of which
there was not the slightest clue. The next
morning, on parade, the colonel passed
along the line, giving to each man, in
turn, thin stripOf bamboo, and when
all were supplied, and with solemn en-
phasis, F." My men, here is thief among
us, and Brahma has revealed to me how
| am to detect him Come forward, one
by one, and give M your bamboo chips
and the guilty man let him do what he
may, Will have the longest piece" The
soldiers, not little startled at this mys-
ferrous threat, obeyed without a word !;
but before the first dozen had filed past,
the colonel suddenly seized one of them
by the throat, and shouted, You are
the man" The Hindoo fell on his
knees, and whined out confession of
the theft, while his terrified comrades
salaamed to the ground before the dread

such terrible power. When they had

The New Russian Uniform.

The new Russian uniform bids fair tC
be very handsome. We find the follow
ing description of it in the Pail Nal
Gazette:
"This new dress is very similar to that
which was worn by the portion of the
militia which was embodied during the
Crimean war, and consists of a caftan,
or long coat, with two rows of buttons,
and made either of black, dark green, or
grey cloth, according to the province to
which the man belongs. On the shout
der-strap the number of the regiment is
to be marked in yellow figures. The
cloak is of redish grey cloth, and is of
the same pattern as that worn by the
soldiers of the regular army. The cap is
OF dark green cloth, and on the front of
it is a brass cross, on the center of which
is the cipher of the emperor, and on the
branches the inscriptions: For the
Faith and the Car On the caps of the
militiamen who are not Christians the
cross is replaced by a brass plate with
eight projections, on the centre of which
again is the cipher of the emperor, but
round the outside of the plate the motto:
For the Gar and the country The
armament of the men is to consist of a
gun and some kind Of pioneers tool
either an axe, a slovel, or pick. The
uniform of the officers is of the same
pattern as that of the privates, but the
skirts of the coat or caftan are scanned,
while in that Of the common soldier they
are of one piece; ard gold scales will take
the place of the shOulder-straps. The
cap also is of the SINE color as that of
the privates, but the brass cross is re-
placed by a gilt badge. Finally, the
trousers are to be of the same color as
the coat, and are always to be worn
