The Russian journals are putting out pro-
iects for tho approaching celebration OF tho
third centennial Of the annexation OF Siberia TO

there will yet remain unclaimed 567.000.000
acres Of Government arabic land. Siberia can
still take 100000 immigrants. allowing each
Of them a farm Of eighty acres. Besides the
arabic land which constitutes onc-third OF tho
area Of western Siberia and one-sixth Of the
area OF eastern Siberia there are immense
wooded regions Astounding In game. and many
mountain ridges containing metals, and some
OF the Russian journals predict bright future
for Siberia. the land of dreadful history and
doleiul memories.
Another boon sought for by the siborans is
the Siberian University. The Government OF
the Car has persistently refused to tolerate its
existence under the apprehension that its nde-
pendence. its freedom, and consequently its
undesirable influence would be in proportion
to its distance from st. Petersburg.

Nobody seems anxious to put himself on
record as prophet of what Congress viii do
next. The smallness Of the House, by reason
OF absentees, which puts it in the power OF
almost any dissatisfied element on either SIDE
to prevent quorum and upset all the plans
that may be made, has much to do with this
backWardness among the prophets. Can the
House adjourn sine die when there Is no quorum
present? Do the democrats want to adjourn II
they can, with the certainty OF recall? What
VIII they do when they are called back, II they
can adjourn, and do adjourn, and are recon-
Sened? These are seasonable questions, that
are not answered except with an 'frr or a

One OF the fanciful ideas OF the marvels of the
future contemplates school In which the
physical powers OF the children are developed
only In the direction which will be of service In
the professions selected for them by the state
The blacksmith VIII be, so to speak, all arms,
while the development OF the ballet-dancer will
go to extremtties In the other direction. The
head Of the calculator viii absorb all his nour-
ishment, and the pianist's body viii be reduced
to almost nothing to allow his or her energy to
run to the fingers The English Will soon begin
to suspect that we have anticipated the future
and established such school, with the develop
ment OF the lower extremities as the most
prominent feature OF the curriculum. Hanlan's
legs, brought into unusual play by his peculiar
stroke, won him his victories. The achieve.
ments OF Paroles legs have likewise astonished
the Britishers. So have the strength and en-
durance Of those belonging to Weston. Tt
round out the list, 1almage {nay the agility Of
whose lower limbs never grow less) Is exciting
great enthusiasm In London.

Weston beats Englands fastest runner sur
passes the best record Of his antagonist, wins
the belt and the bet with Sir John Ashley, and
Is the champion pedestrian Of the world. The
fact that he covered more miles In the six days
than have ever before been accomplished takes
the ground from under the theory that his vic
tory was pre-arranged with view to fleece the
New Workers when the return match Is made.
Doubts and suspicious are conquered as well as
"Blower'' Brown. The father of long distance
walking narrowly escaped being ranked as its
grandfather, to be tucked away on the shelf,
before ais remarkable legs won the respect
which Is evidently due them. His agility now
has, like the hornpipe of Sir Joseph Porter, all
the tmpressiveness OF the unexpected. Only the
patriotism OF the newspaper paragrapher,
which causes him to rejoice over an American
victory, prevents him from signing as he sees
his list OF acknowledged frauds reduced by the
withdrawal of weston, of whom he must now
speak respectfully.

Germany and Austria call upon the Khedtve
to pay his debts or abdicate. and the Khediye
replies that he Will never, never abdicate be-
fore he pays his debts. This model ruler prob
ably owes more money in proportion to his
means than any one else In the world. Eng
land and France demand his abdicatlon, ire
spective OF his debts. The pressure upon the
KhediVe Is heavy, but he clings to his office
with desperation that Is truly American. II
England and France succeed In ousting him,
they VIII hardly know what to do with the Of
flee. England has shown that she does not wish
to seize Egypt and govern 1t herself, and the
only apparent way In which the two govern
ments can control affairs, indirectly, and act as
receivers Of the bankrupt country, Is by some
such arrangement as that which the obstinate
Khedive, who acts as If he really thought him
self to be q ruler, has just upset.

The presidential veto Of the supp lementa
judicial bill Is based upon the objection ind-
Gated IN Saturdays STAR as the one which
would be urged. 1t is substantially as follows.
Since the attempt to repeal the election laws
failed, they remain valid enactments 1t Is now
sought to defeat their enforcement, not merely
by emitting to appropriate money to carry
them out, but by expressly prohibiting the IN
curing any liability under the statutes author
ling the appointment or payment OF general or
special deputy marshals for service on election
day. The law remains which requires the ap-
pointment by marshalS OF special deputy mar
shals at the request of citizens. A nom per-
Torrance OF this duty would expose the mar
shals to judicial mandate, or punishment, or
removal from Office, and the President himself
may be held responsible for failing to execute
these unrepealed and valid laws. The approval
OF this bill would, In case special deputy mar
shals were requested, make it necessary for the
President either 70 violate his oath to faithfully
execute the laws, or to disregard the prohibt-
ton Of Congress To avoid this alternative,
the President vetoes the bill. The army bill,
on the other hand, receives his signature. His
nerves do not seem to have been shaken by the
exhibition of fright on the part OF the Senate
republicans.

There seems to be so little competition for the
position Of Prince Imperial, that the nomina-
ton OF George, the Count Joannes, for that
honor, If it had been properly taken up and
pushed, would now place that representative of
American royalty well up among the competi-
tors. 1t is likely that death VIII soon remove
another Bonaparte from the list Of possible
EUperors, and still another declines the prof.
fered honor for himself and family. 1t appears
that there is some doubt whether France, whose
advice and consent must be obtained will ever
confirm the appointment OF any one to the po-
SittOn In question.

THE QUESTION OF PURE WATER SOLVED
The ReIier RaIe OF CottoD.

The people OF Benefits landing,
same fifty miles below here, gave a
bale Of cotton in March last to the
cotton exchanged this city, the same
to be sold for the benefit of the family
ofthe Waterman Of the steamer Cham
bers, who died of yellow fever in
1873 when that boat was on a trip to
Vicksburg to extend relief to the suf
tering. The bale realized, by sub
scription and otherwise, $l05.54. On
April % last, the secretary Of the cot
ton exchange here, Mr., Sam Gates,
wrote to G. w, Simmons, of the st.
Louis cotton exchange, asking to
whom the proceeds should be sent.
The name Of the Chambers watchman
has never been properly promulgated;
or, fist has, no n was ever advised
of it, Some call him Salter, some
something else. No answer was re-
ceived by Mr.. Gates to his letter of
inquiry, and the money realized for
the Chambers watchman's bale Of
cotton is still in the hands of Mr..
Gates, subject to the order of the
family Of the deceased, or any one
authorized to receive it.

popular among those who have little
or nothing to pay.
