as that produced by the aspirations OF the
Young Russian party some five or ten years

that the movement proves to be great deal
too intense and too serious to be put on the

years. You have already heard, presume,
OF the riots which took place lately at kief.
A descent OF the police officials and an in
spection OF papers took place at O'clock
in the evening of the twenty third of Febru-

the university. The young man boarded at
the house OF an advocate, but was not at

"The dinner began with hot wine, made
from rice, and sweet biscuits of buckwheat

ridge resided on Carpenter street, west of
Fourth street, Philadelphia. During 1888 a
Frenchhaan named Nicalo left San Domingo
with his family, consisting of a wife and two
children, and occupied the adjoining prop
erty. He brought with him several varieties
of vegetable seed, which were planted and
after a lapse of time grew and bore
fruit Among them was a tomato, which he
dressed as a salad, and which was relshed by
Mr.. Eldridge's family. The neighbors pro-

sold in Philadelphia markets as early as 1929

The fees which French physicians receive
says the London NeUs, would seem to their
English brethren very low. I gather from a
recent controversy In the papers that some
leading London practitioners lately raised
their fee for first consultation to two
guineas. In Paris the best physicians expect
four dollars for consultation at home, and
eight dollars II they 60 out; but rather ex-
aggerated sentiment of professional delicacy
more than patient chooses to give. The
table of busy doctor is Uttered over with
gold pieces so grouped as to convey the hint
that fees Of one, two or three napoleons have
been received; but If a patient lays down
two dollars or even one, he receives his
bow and thanks without protest, the doc
tor assuming (often wrongly that the man
has given all he can afford In country
towns one dollar is the usual fee, but forty
know better, and forty cents is the invariable
fee which village doctors put down per visit
when sending in their bills at the end of the
year. One Is ashamed to say that these doc
tors bills often give rise to the Sorriest hag-
CLING, for there exists crooked opinion that
a physician should regard himself as phil
anthropist, and pay his butchers bills with
the mere thanks OF his patients. A country
doctor attends prosperous peasant proprie-
tor, day after day for weeks, supplies medi-
cines, effects a cure, and at the end OF the
wear is treated as an extortioner because be
has charged sum which will barely pay for
the wear and tear OF the horse and gig. Some
doctors draw regular salary from medical
club; but these are the worst used OF ALL for
every mem Der Of the club feels bound to take
out five or six times the value of his subscrip-
ton In doctors visits, even if he have moth
ing the matter without him.

THE RENO TRIAL.

Chicago, Jan. 1.-THE scout, Girad, who
testified to day in the Reno inquiry gave a
lengthy account of the movement Of the
troops on the day of the Custer massacre.
He described the condition and situation OF
the battle field and mentioned the various
orders given. The witness believed the
fighting force of the Indians was $500 to
5000 warriors. They heard several volleys
of from so to 100 shots each on the other side
of the village at about the time the order was
given every man to his horse" Reno's
force at that word left the wood where they
were stationed. and in ten or fifteen minutes
they saw Clusters command, or what be be-
lieved to be that command. Hethought the
force of $50 men ought to have held the In.
dians IN check some time. Witness furth-
er testimony related to the finding of the
bodies, etc.

Red Cloud if he thought Lieut.. Dodd could
succeed in obtaining the services of fifteen
of his warriors. The old chief, in a very
grave tone of voice, and without raising hif
eyes from the ground, said: "My people
are sad at heart since their brothers were
killed here some moons ago. They are yery
angry with the whites and l am nearly Ger.

Lieut.. Schuyler, in as few words as posi-
BILE, gave him an account of the Cheyenne
outbi eak, how the Cheyennes fired upon the
soldiers in fleeing from the prison room. In
trying to prevent the Cheyenne braves from
escaping the squaws were accidentally killed.
Lieut.. Schuyler finally got the old chief to
say: Young chief (Lieut. Dodd) can go to
my camp and tell my son in-law, Young
Man-Afraid-of Hi -Horses, that it is my
wish he would try and get some of my war
riors to help the government in capturing
