out of window, but she dragged

the beer.
OF two revolutionary printing
offices just discovered at ST. Peters,
burg, one was detected in an i'm
perial cartridge manufactory, aud
the other In an imperial custom
house station. And what can be
more significant than the following
statement: mo furnished apart
ments can henceforth be had at st.
Petersburg, unless maps showing
the situation of the rooms and the
doors of entrance have been previ-
ously handed to the police" This
measure IL intended to facilitate
arrests.

There has been a great revival In
Wales. In the moonlight nights
of the past few weeks scenes were
eEacted rivaling those of Martha's
Vineyard AT Rnoudu Valley
young men t,re Off their studs aud
gilt watch chain and cat them to
the earth; girls tore their earrings
from their ears and flowers from
their skirts and scattered hem to
the wind, while the preacher ex
horted in the Welsh tongue Until
vast througs arose from the kneel
ing posture of hum initiation in which
they had been listening ami exc
cuted a wild, uncouth dance until
they fell exhausted Oh the earth.
II a private report which has
reached London respecting the
famine in upper Egypt be correct
the mortality has been truly ap-
palliDg. Ii IL stated that no fewer
than 10000 persons have succumbed
to the famine In Ghiszeh Kena and
Esna alone. According to Mr..
Baird, who was sent to relieve the
starving myriads and to report
upon the famine to the Egyptian
Government, the population were
very poor and extremely over
taxed The stress of the famine is
over; but If there should be another
bad Nile, and overtaxiDg is con
tinued, worse outbreak than ever
is anticipated.
The Rev. J. G. Beltzly, Luthe-
ran, is out with calculation of the
size of heaven, based on the state
ment In Revelations that the
angels measured the city with the
reed $4,000 furlongs. The length,
the breadth, the height OF 1t are
equal" Taking eight furlongs to
equal mile, he comes to the fol.
lowing conclusions: "The heaven
ly city will be 1900 miles In each
of its dimensions, which will ac-
com modste all the people of all the
worlds with separate apartments.
There will be precisely 80 quintil-
lion, GAL quadrillion, 1855 trillion,
500 billion, 668 million, 663 thous-
and, and 1854 rooms of fair size, and
there will remain over 240 quadril-
lions of mansions unoccupied, to
be occupied by the angels"
The night after the attempt on
General Drenteln's life In st. Peters
burg no less than forty-five persons,
male and female, were arrested,
many Of them being of suoh high
rank that special provision was
made for their detention instead of
sending them to the common prls-
ons. Officers of the guard, court
cham berlsins and councillors were
among the number. Two unmar-
ried daughters of one of the most
prominent members of the present
Ministry have been subjected to
domiciliary arrest. AS 1t cannot
be suppos ed that the police are try
ing to prove their activity by these
wholesale arrests, 1t Is natural to
conclude that there Is something
more serious in the wind than a
purely Sociallstic conspiracy.
