EVIDENCES are fast accommodating
which tend to prove that unless the
secret designs of Russia, as given form
and activity by revolutionary Bulga-
rians and Macedonians, are effectively
thwarted, she will either accomplish
her point of obtaining territory on the
Mediterranean, or reopen the entire
eastern question with all the horrors of
war. Russia feels that she has been
beaten at a precious game by unrightful
means, and she feels perhaps justified
in trying to accomplish her ambition
by tricks of diplomacy, failing in which
she may even accept the arbitrament of
arms-provided, there are moi. too many
opponents to assume the field.

THE intelligence of the Russians may
be easily gagged by the fact that the
residents of Wratstrevo, in the province
of Novgorod, burned a supposed witch
to death a short time since. The witch
was the widow of a soldier, poor and
miserable, and she encouraged by every
means in her power the superstition Of
the peasants respecting her supernat-
ural abilities. Soon voluntary contri-
buttons of food and clothing poured in
upon her in order that her friendship
might be made sure. There were
many persons in the district suffering
from epilepsy and the "old witch" was
ut once charged with having placed a
spell on those who had offended her.
That was enough. The seniors and
head men of the village speedily decid-
ed, a Ia the Puritans at Salem in days
gone by, that she must be burned to
death. Mailing up the windows and
doors of her hut they applied the torch
and the unfortunate creature expired
in dreadful agony on the funeral pyre
of her own home.

COUNT ScHoUvALoFF, the Russian
ambassador at London, recently gam
bled away a years salary at "a single
sitting in the Marlborough club, Lon
don. The count is IN inveterate gam
bier and his losses must come from the
purse of his wife, who is immensely
wealthy. But if he does not turn in
his luck, which has long been against
him, report says, even her wealth will
not be equal to his caprice.
The extent of the gambling carried
on in this toniest of the ton club houses
of London may be judged when it is
known that an NJ. p. recently lost in a
single night over half a million pounds
over two millions and a half Of dol
lars.

THE New York Tribune says: "All
observant travellers in the cotton states
are impressed with the appearance Of
thriftlessness that characteriZes the
whole country, from North Carolina to
Texas. With few exceptions the towns
have evidently seen better days; the
planters house are sadly in need of
paint and repairs; new dwellings rare
ly met with; the negroes live in the old
cabins constructed in the days of
slavery, now much dilapidated by age
and want of care, or have built for
themselves wretched huts less spacious
and comfortable than their old quarters.
There are few bridges across the rivers,
and almost none across the creeks,
branches and smaller streams. The
wagon roads are in a shocking condition,
and the railroads, save a few through
lines operated by northern capitalists,
are barely passable for trains running
ten or fifteen miles an hour. No. inn
portant new manufacturing enterprises
have been undertaken in recent years :"
And the south prefers this to sincere
repentance for error, to the mag
nanimity of Cancellation, to the thrift of
patriotic enthusiasm and to the bless
ings of national fraternity.

1t is stated from Washington that more
than 100 members of the House of rep
resentatives are in favor of introducing
legislation on financial questions.
Hendrick B. Wright (Pa.) says that
there will be a host of bills introduced,
bearing on financial questions, but the
one which will be adhered to under all
circumstances will be that adopted by
the Greenback caucus. Very likely
such bills will be introduced, but they
will hardly reach a vote, and certainly
no such measure will become a law as

The Louisville Courier-Josrnal does
not follow up the discussion of its pro-
position to introduce Chinese cheap
labor into the south to take the places
left vacant by the emigrating colored
population. 1t is probably as well for
the cause Of democracy. which is ident-

question is let drop 80 like a hot cannon

PORTLAND, Maine, can claim, per-

city Of reasonable age which increased
its taxable valuation to the extent of
