A LEADvILLE incident: A bunko man
ha6 robbed miner of $138. He was
pointed out. With half dozen pistols
at his head, he threw up both hands and
quietly took a sitting. His gold watch
and chain, pistol, keys and $3.50 were
taken from him The $13S having been
returned to the miner, the balance was
handed over to the Chairman of the
Vigilance Committee. The bunko man
was then given a start of fifty yards
through the principal street, and the
Go" was given him. Then he started,
with dozen pistol balls tearing up the
ground behind him. 1t is supposed he
is still running. This was called stern
Justice.

A YOUNG girl named Susan Johnson,
of Uniontown, KY, who is addicted to
reading novels, dressed herself in boys
clothes, and. armed with two pistols and
a dagger, took the packet for Evansville,
intending to lead life that would be q
terror to the foe. On the boat some
deck-hands were removing some freight.
and big rat ran out and scudded in
the direction of our hero. Miss john
son jumped on bale of tobacco and
screamed. They carried her into the
ladies' cabin, where she remained dur
ing the round trip; and she has now
promised her parents to do her share in
the kitchen and keep her end up at the
sewing machine.

THE night after the attempt on Gen.
Drenteln's life in st. Petersburg no less
than forty-five persons, male and female,
were arrested, and many of them being
of such high rank that special provision
was made for their detention instead of
sending them to the common prisons.
Officers of the guard, court chamber
lains, and councillors were among the
number. Two unmarried daughters of
one of the most prominent members of
the present Ministry have been sub
jected to domiciliary arrest. AS it can
not be supposed that the police are try
ing to prove their activity by these
wholesale arrests, it is natural to con-
clude that there is something more seri-
GUS in the wind than purely Socialistic
conspiracy.

Hard Fare for English Soldiers.

The following is an extract from let
ter from a soldier in the Seventeenth
Lancers, now on his way to Natal. If
the details respecting food are correct
some one is to blame: "The, living on
board here is most execrable. We are
all more or less used up by not being
able-with very few exceptions-to eat
the vile food provided for us by Govern
ment. We are not on ships rations.
The sailors even say that tits disgraceful.
Three days a week we have biscuit, stale
and with powerful smell of macintosh
waterproof have not seen whole
biscuit since we have been on board,
only chips and dust-a lump of salt
pork, and about three ounces of bread
per man. The other three days we have
salt beef, with, very occasionally, pota-
toes. The officers live luxuriously--
fowl or all kinds alive on board for their
use, and live mutton" This is the way
the men are treated who have to uphold
England's honor.

AT Connersville, Ind, recently, Miss
Hattie Spangler called at the residence
of James Monson, spent the evening in
social conversation, and, at the proper
hour, started for home. A mischievous
urchin, thinking to have some sport,
secreted himself behind the corner of
the house, and suddenly jumped at her
with uplifted hands. She fell in a
fainting fit, and has compl etely lost the
use of her voice, not being able to utter
a single sound.

THE situation in Russia is of such
gravity that in England it for the mo-
ment diverts attention even from the
troublesome Zulu and Afghan ques-
tions. The ukase of the Gear pro-
claiming state of siege in nearly all
the civilized portions of the empire is
considered about the equivalent of the
initiation of civil war, in which the
Government is the aggressor against or
der and civilized society. 1t in effect
obliterates all the laws OF customs un-
der which Russia has been slowly ad-
vancing from the barbarous despotisms
of the earlier Czars, and notifies the
people that henceforth their lives and
property are to be owned and disposed
of at will, not by the Gar in person,
but by horde of irresponsible petty
despots, upon whose brutality or ra-
pacity there is no restraint. The effect
of this retrogressive policy, which re-
duces all civilized Russia to the condi-
ton of a conquered country, is awaited
with the deepest interest in other por-
tions of Europe. That it may drive the
Nihilists into open instruction seems
to be considered among the probabili-
ties; while the conviction is general
and entirely reasonable that, if the Gear
succeeds for the moment in crushing
out all open manifestations of public
dissatisfaction with Cossack rule, the
propagation of revolutionary ideas will
be accelerated, and the day of the utter
downfall of despotism in Russia be
fastened.

THE suppression by the French OF
the recent revolt in New Caledonia was
attended by terrible hardships and suf-
fering on the part of the rebellious saw
ages. Many of the insurgents are said
to have been driven by famine to eat
their own children, and the native allies
of the French cut off the noses OF all
the prisoners they captured. The in
surrection has been completely sub
dued, and the French cpnvicts are no
longer in danger of becoming feas9

ANOTHER fashionable young lady has
run away with and married her coach
man. The eccentric woman in this case
has been an ornament of New York So

sensation. The young lady was the
daughter of Mr.. Townsend, an old and

The Collector at Sitka takes a different
