RUSSIAN DBosCHKY RIDING. Russians do
not habtually walk even short distances.
This is perhaps the reason why the sidewalks
and street pavcmcnts are so poor as also
the reason why hack or droschky hire is so
cheap. In Odessa the fare is only - copccts,
but the people generally give 30. This is
equivalent to about II cents at the present
rate of exchange Am American feels almost
guilty to pay so small sum for a ride of
mile or moro in vehicle which, in spite OF
its little wheels (liko those of whcclbarrows)
and its general insignfcance, reminds you of
the old-timc chariots of the picture books.
The driver looks like an old woman when
seated upon his box, although in point of fact
he is generally stiff jOintrd, patIiarchal old
fellow in II long beard, wearing II low-crown-
I'd hat like n cut down beaver, and garment
that completely envelopes him. This consists
of a short waist aud long skirt thickly plated
over the hips. A sash of bright color gen
orally conceals the point of juncture. His
hair is cut square all round, he is squint-
eyed and weathcr-beaten. bearded man in
petticonts. But he is enthusiastic on the sub
ject of racing and does not hesitate to lash
his horses to their utmost speed if u rival
droschky attempts to pass him. And II rival
droschky dotS attempt to pass him almost ev-
cry day of his life. Hire Russian droschky
a race Is almost sure to be the consequence.
Suddenly you find yourself going at. tre-
mendously accelerated pace. You look to
see what is up. Either you are trying to
pass somebody or somebody is trying to pass
you. The horses understand the situation
before you do. First, they take a good look
at the rival animals, then they thrust their
noses forward and plunge into the work as if
possessed. The whip cracks. the sparks fly,
the horses snort, the driver yells, and you
veil too. PerChauce il is in the night time
Then you swing your cane or parasol in air,
according to your sex, and shout, $50 it, old
woman Go it old Muscovte am n live
Yankee come over to see the fun. Don't
spare the lash this once I'll give you 81 if
you win the race, or words to that effect.
Then you experience the ecstacy of droschky
riding. -Letter tO B0stOH J0UrRGL

on Christmas eve the bells were ruug;
On Christmas eve the mass was sung;
That only night in all the year
saw the st9led priest the chalice rear;
Then opened wide the baruu's hall
To yassa tenant, serf and all:
Power laid bis rod Of rule aside,
And Ceremony duffed his pride.
The heir, with roses iu his shoes,
That night might village partner choose.
All hailed, with Uncontrolled delight
And general voice, the happy night
That to the cottage, as the crown,
Brought tidings Of salvation down.
England was merry England whcu
Old Christmas brought his sports again.
Twas Christmas hrosched the mightiost ale;
Twas Christmas told the mcrrest tale.
Christmas gambo Oft would cheer
poor mans heart through half the year.

Child Jesus to this world was cent
To save us from our shining;
On straw and hay, at midnight, lay
The Highest, life beginning.
Yet smiled the star from heaven to greet
The child the OK did kiss his feet.
Hallelujah! halieiujah!

Then rouse, We sick and weary souls,
Away your sorrow fngVng!
In Dayid's tnwua child vas born,
For all hearts comfort bringing.

THE GOODY-GOOD TRAMP.
A Romantic Story from the Far West

A Romantic Story from the Far West.
In 1853 Miss Myra Kellogg, eldest daughter
of the late Simeon Kellogg, and sister of Mark
II. Kellogg, who fell beside General Custer on
the Little Big Horn, was married in this city
to Mr.. Truman j. Stafford, who had repre-
sented Green County in our Legislature In
1859, and who, In the year above named, re-
moved to the promising village of Lacrosse.
The next spring however the young couple
moved down iuto Iowa, and, we believe, set
tied on a farm, aud several years since went
into Dakota. lie was an honest, hard.workng
| man, but never succeeded in accommodating
much Of this world riches. Four years since,
just after the evening meal had been eaten, a
dirty. ragged, foot.sore t.amp called at his
house and begged for something to eat, saying
that he was on his way to California, but hc
had hard luck, having been taken sick after
starting.
Mr. Stafford made him welcome and his wife
went to work and cooked supper for tho
stranger. After paItaking Of the meal pre-
pared they allowed the tramp to remain over
night, and, becoming interested in the
| stranger, he was entertained for week, during
which he recuperated his health, and bidding
| them goOd.by, started on for California. Two
| months since the stranger, who, during his
four years absence in California, had struck il
rich" came back to Dakota and inquired out
his old entertainers, and in disguise spent the
night under Mr.. SaiiOrd's roof. The tramp
was particular to inquire into the circum-
stances of Mr.. Stafford, and was told by that
gentleman he had plenty Of hard work, but
very little money"
The next morning the tramp departed with
| out making himself known, and the conversa-
\ tion and incident had been forgotten, when
Mr.. aud Mrs. Stafford received through the
post'o scaled package, which contained
the deed Of one of the finest farms In their
neghborhood, having n good house, barn,
| stock, horses, wagons agricultural implements,
and everything complete, which was accom-
panied by an explanatory letter, stating that
he wished them to accept the doed Of this
farm, which he had purchased especially for
those who divided with him when in need
and treated him kindly when foot-soro aud
poor, and assured them that he was the tramp
they entertained years before. Volumes could
not say more. and Mr.. aud Mr.. Stafford are now
| enjoying the gift made by the strangcr.-Ld-
crosse Democrat.

Fashion Notes.

A CHARMING dress trimming Is velvet, cut
in lace patterns the designs followed in colorcd
silk.
THE large black Reynolds" hat Is all tho
rage among the ladies Of picturesque and
artistic taste. But It requires handsome
burnette face and striking form to 90 IL justice.
DorBLE wells are coming in with the incom-
ing Of fashionable young ladies. The outer
one Is Of dotted black thread lace Or black net,
dotted with chenille. The interior one Is plain
white tullc and the combination Of the two Is
very becoming.
The new autumn fabrics arc Oriental in
color and design, and young ladies who wish
to be dressed in the very height of fashion can
pay fifty cents yard for plain gray wool and
enrich it with ornaInenton Of home made ln-
dian embroidery.
THICK black ruches arc fashionably worn
around the throat, without any intermixture
of white. They are made of kit-paited
thread lace and ruching of crepe lisse, aud arc
not only attached TO black dresses, but are
worn around the throat as dog collars.
BELTS are very fashionable and wide. Some
are embroidered by hand on satin or gros
grain ribbon. The fastenngs are large, square
buckles of engraved silver or mixtures of oxy
died silver, and gilt In fligree patterns.
Jeweled clasps are TO lie used this season in-
stead of buckles,
