A GROWING TOWN.

The town of Sutro, at the mouth of
the great tunnel of that name is said to
be the liveliest place of its size on the
continent Adolph Sutro, the promoter
of the tunnel enterprise, says it will
soon rival Virginia in size. Mills will
be built there and run by water
power, to reduce the low grade ores,
which cannot now be worked profitably,
and it is probable that in the near flu
tire all the ore from the great bonanzas
III the lower levels of the Comstock will
be carried OH cars through the tunnel
instead of being hoisted through shafts
to the surface at Virginia City. It is
reasonable to assume, that the large ore
bodies which will be discovered below
the tunnel level, will be reduced at
Sutro, where the water drained from
the mines can be utilized for mill pur-
poses, instead of being hoisted through
shafts to Virginia City.

REIGN OF TERROR IN RUSSIA.

Terror reigns supreme in the domin-
ions of the Car. The liberator of
Roumania and Bulgaria from the
Noslem yoke denies his own subjects
the rights which he insisted the Sultan
should accord the Christians in his En-
pire. Through Russian interference
the Bulgarians, which were treated as
slaves by the Turks, before the invinci-
bile armies of the Car marched from
the Danube to Constantinople, are to-
day enjoying rights and privileges
which are not tolerated at ST. Peters
burg, and the attempted exercise of
which, by the men whose prowess on
the battlefield secured them for Bull
garia, is treason, punishable with death
or exile to Siberia. To-day life and
property are less secure in Russia than
in Turkey, Notwithstanding the latter a
year ago was overrun with Cossacks,
and it's capital at the mercy of the in
vader. The Nihilists have established
revolutionary government, with which
that of the Car is unable to contend
successfully Members of it are found
in palaces as well as in huts, and its
principles seem to pervade all grades of
society. The army, the last hope of the
despot, is unreliable, and nearly all of
the officers of some regiments have been
arrested and imprisoned. Some 1900
prisoners, arrested for uttering sede-
'ious sentiments, are said to be held at
Novogorod, awaiting transportation to
Siberia. Meanwhile, the revolutionists
issue manifestoes, and those who are
known to be traitors to the common
cause of the people are assasinated.
This state of affairs cannot continue a
great while. The despot will have to
make some concessions, or revolution
will shake the Empire, as it is impossi-
BILE for government to exist when one
half the inhabitants are prisoners, and
the rest jailors and guards.

Two young men went into the woods
poar Aurora, ILL.,, to play a game OF
cards. As hey were rival lovers, aud
mad not previously spoken to each other
for months, it is conjectured that the
girl in dispute was the stakes that they
played for. The winner, however, was
rot permitted 70 gam the prize, for his
opponent instantly shot him through
the heart. IN effort to settle rivalry
by chance had a not less sad result in
Texas. Two suitors were convinced
that the young woman would accept
either if the other would let her alone,
and they agreed to throw dice to decide
which should give her up. The loser
honestly endcavored to keep the COM
pact, but the woman refused to be dis
posed of in that way, and wrote to him
that she would marry nobody else, and
would not even see the winner. The
latter would not believe that his COM
petitor had tried to retire from the con-
test, and so murdered him.

A church steeple at Richmond, Ind. !,
ON which lights appeared at night, was
believed by superstitious people to be
haunted, until the other day when some
body suggested that broken lightning
rod might cause the illusion, and the
sexton climbed up above the bells, and
found the two sections of the rod apart,
and gap of an inch or more between
them, The passage of silent electricity
over the gap caused spark, which,
seen swapping and jumping in the
moist air, assumed phantom forms, and

pinched his feet but bruised the skin in
places, producing an eruption which
rapidly took a malignant form, and 60

The action of the Democratic JOINT
Caucus Committee points to a speedy
dissolution of the deadlock concerning
the Army Appropriation bill. The
general impression is, that the Presi-
dent will approve the hill in its amend
ed form; but if he should still withhold
his signature, the Democrats will
doubtless be satisfied to have placed
him, and through him, by implication,
the Republican party, upon record as
favoring the use Of troops at the polls,
and will consent to the passage of the
Army Appropriation bill Invested of
any political provisions. The struggle
will then be confined to the political
features of the Legislative, Executive
and Judicial Appropriation bill; and
although this is by far the most inn
portant part of the controversy, it is
believed there will be much less diff
Guilty in compromising or postponing it
than in reaching similar conclusions
with both bills pending.

A drosky driver of st. Petersburg
asked his customer, who appeared to
be nobleman, what the Nihilists were.
"Nihil means nothing, was the reply,
''and people who have nothing in the
pocket, nothing in the way of land,
nothing in the shape Of property, and
nothing OF the nature of title, are
called Nihilists, ''Yea, yea" said the
dorsky driver, "then Russia is full of

WHEN a drunkard is ARE.

WHEN drunkard is arrested in
Sweden or Norway he is put in prison
and his only nourishment is bread
soaked in wine. During the first day
the prisoner receives the bread aud
wine with much pleasure. On the
second day the food is not so accepta-
BILE. After that he takes his food with
great repugnance. In general eight or
ten days of this treatment suffices to
produce such disgust of liquor that the
unhappy man is compelled to absolute
tbstins nce.
