Shooting wild geese was, in the early
days Of California. quite an important
industry with those men who hunted for
the market, and was very attractive to
the few amateurs that INDUCED in the
sport In all the counties bordering ON

tiful, and IL is no exaggcration 10 say
that their numbers might be computed

Of acres of land We're covered by them.
They did not, as now, Interfere with

quantities II grass, thus depriving the
cattle Of much feed, and We're nuisance
10 the rancheros, not only on account
u this consumption Of feed, but also be-
cause their deposit burned up the grass
and rendered II unfit for cattle. In

RUSSIA UNDER A GENERAL STATE OF
SIEGE.-Russia is at present under state
of Siege from St. Petersburg to Moscow
and Warsaw, from Kief to Kharkof and
Odessa on account of the plots and con-
spiracies of the Nihilists. Ar army of
porters, about $4,000 strong, .nust watch
the streets of the capital, day and night
and policemen are set to watch the watch
ers. Under General Ghourko the cross
err of the Balkans, who is now Vice-Em-
peror, the last lines of legality have also
been crossed-if the word LEGALITY APP
plies at all to Russian institutions. He
is invested with unlimited powers, in the
place of the disheartened tyrant. The
very Grand Dukes are under his orders.
Arrests among officers Of the Army have
been the immediate consequence OF Gen.
Ghourko's satrap rule. In several cases
compromising letters and prints were dis
covered, and executions both Of Officers,
like Lieutenant Dubrovin, and of privates
have followed. The gallows are in per-
manent activity. But perhaps the most
significant feature-and a promising one,
too-is the order issued, under court
martial law, that in all the barracks a
list of the soldiers arms is to be drawn
up, and to be handed over to the police!
This is the strongest sign of suspicion
against the army itself; and on the army
the whole power of Carbon reposes.

The RepnbHrau.

THE GROWTH OF NIHILISM IN RUssI A
Russian Nihilism is not dying out. The
st. Petersburg correspondent OF the
Cologne Gazette declares that the contin-
uance of those conditions which gave
birth to it, begetting discontented, con-
tempt and general hatred OF Government
institutions, bring regular accesslons to
its ranks. That Nihilism has not been
shaken to any extent, in spite OF General
Ghourko's vigorous measures, is proved
by the fact that its celebrated organ, Land
and Liberty, still appears in st. Peters
burg, always finding It's way to the
bureaus of the highest officers OF State.
A six-months state of siege having been
unable to prevent the circulation of this
paper, is in itself proof that the blows
hitherto dealt have not yet affected the
vitality of Nihilism The area of its ac-
tivity is becoming wider, and it is estab-
fishing itself in the nation; people, as
they get accustomed to it are beginning
to regard il with favor; and, decreasing
in gloomy and narrow fanaticism, it is
increasing in popularity and influence.
The press toned down its indignation ar
ticles Immediately after the murders OF
last Spring. Then came discussions on
the cause of the evil, tending to show
that the nation required increased free
dom and rights in order to fight against
it. And when language and action on
the subject had gone as far as possible;
when the Government had been implor-
ed to do its part had turned deaf ear
to the appeal, the journals confined them
selves to reporting occurrences, and ceas.
ed altogether attacking Nihillsm itself.
The press has, as matter of fact, dlscon-
tinued its assistance Of combating the
revolution. The evils in the system of
government are, on the other hand, so
numerous that there is no lack of mater
ials for attacks against present lnstltu-
tons, and, in this way, fresh ground is
prepared for Nihilism.

THE GENTLE UTE AT HOME.
Description of the NagabOnds
Who AmbuScadcd ThOrnburg.

The Ute Indians are lazy, lousy,
begging. shiftless tribe OF vagIbOnds.
One .Of their agents has said that they
are not inclined to manifest violence to-
wards the whites 50 long as their inces-
SAINT appeals for something To- eat are an
Swered. In this respect they have been
buulensOne 10 the people OF Colorado.
They have repeatedly burned the houses
and barns of settlers when denied the
food and clothes asked for. Little OF
their time of late years has been spent
upon the crdcd lands 20 which they are
assigned During the summer season
they organize themselves into bands of
from fifty 10 two hundred, and 60 on
begging and thieving expeditions among
the cities and settlements along the
eastern base of the Rocky mountains.
I'm physique, the Ute Indian compares
favorably with the Cheyenne and Sioux.
They are not good hOrSemen, nor par
ticularlv good marksmcn; but rs con-
SumcrS OF rations, including whisky and
tobacco. they are without rivals.
The present generation of UteS Is cow
ardlv. Only once they have had the
courage To go out upon the plains and
challenge their old enemies, the Sioux,
10 a combat, and in that one instance
they turned tail and He'd for home a.
soon Us they had taken one scalp. Since
achieving. that questionable victory,
though often challenged To a renewal
OF the combat, they have not dared to
venture east OF the settlements of Colo
RADIO Tor fear OF meeting their enemies.
Thu tribe regards labor with the utmost
contempt. The work j. o. be everlaS,-

into three agencies. Their reservations,

other I'm Southern Colorado, embrace
