Life in st. Petersburg is anything
but dull. Every day there is some
thing new to talk about. One after
noon in April lady and gentleman
were walking arm-in-arm toward the
Vosnessenski bridge, followed by
another gentleman. The lady looked
around uneasily several times, and on
arriving at the bridge leaned over the
parapet to look at the canal. In doing
this her hat fell in. Instantly she
fell in after it, but was speedily rejoined
by her pursurer, who after a briet
struggle, brought her on shore. 1t
then appeared that the lady" was a
young man in disguise, who belonged
to the Nihiiist conspiracy, and that
the man who jumped In after him was
n member of the secret police. The
"lady's " companion was also arrested.

AN INTERESTING INTERVIEW.
Chinese Labor in the South-The Ne
gro as Politician-Hayes' Popu-
larity in the South-Perse-
SLtJ cutionof Republicans.

New York, Aug. 2.-The Iiibn,e's
Washington correspondent interviewed
Casey Yonng, representative from Ten.
nessee. Tire latter says: Chinese labor
has been tried in the cotton and sugar
plantations, and he enthusiastically de.
clares that the Chinese are the best
laborers that can be found for all Of the
alluvial region of the lower Mississippi.
He says they are quiet and industrious
and do not meddle with politics. He
declares that, on the other hand, the
negroes are "born politicians" and
that some of them are the best political
managers in the south to-day.
/ Young declares that the southern
policy of Hayes came nearer to break
ing up the democratic party in the
south than most people imagine, and he
says that ''if the southern people be-
lieved that Hayes was fairly elected
president" great majority of them
would have become his supporters.
Even as it is, the Memphis representa-
tive declares that Hayes has more
friends among the democrats of the
south to-day than Tilden, and he be-
lieves that if both were in the field
again Hayes wodld carry more south
ern states than Tilden.
In regard to the ostracism of repub-
licans in the south, Young says it is as
universal as ever, and he does not think
it will ever abate. He declares that no
matter how honest or intelligent man
may be, or how desirable his wealth, or
his social character is, he will not be
regarded as a desirable citizen if he is a
republican. The republicans disfran-
chised the 'people" of the south and
placed negroes and disreputable whites
in control.
Young further says he hopes the
negro exodus will be a success, and
that the north will get as many of that
kind of citizens at the south's expense
as it wants.
Another telegram to the Tribune says
that four or five southern Mississippi
steamers have lately been seized and
libelled for carrying more deck passen-
gers than allowed by law. This is
aimed at those captains who helped
along the negro exodus; yet, within the
last three weeks the steamers have been
loaded to the guards with passengers
fleeing from the yellow fever, and no.
body has thought of objecting.

'soErrEwAs LOVER SUICIDES
A Dime Novel Tragedy at the Pine
Ridge Agency.

The Chicago Times, of July 81, has
the following special from Fort Robin
son, Neb.:
"The particulars of an unfortunate
affair caused by love, jealousy and re-
venge, which occurred at Pine Ridge
agency on Thursday last, have Just
reached this place. 1t appears that
two brothers named Billy and Johnny
Provost, employed at the agency, the
former as stock superintendent, became
enamored of beautiful Indian girl
named Soettewa little Bird), daugh-
ter of Eagle Wing, a sub-chief in Red
Clouds band of Sioux. Before giving
his consent, as is the custom among
Indians, Eagle Wing demanded horse
as the price of his daughters hand in
marriage.
Billy Provost, not having horse to
give, consulted an Indian, who gave
him horse as his own which in reality
belonged to a man named Clement
Bernard, who, unknown to him, was
also suing for the affections of the
dusky maiden. Following the Indians
advice, he took the animal and delivered
it to Eagle Wing, and was about to
take his prize when Bernard appeared
on the scene, claiming his property and
putting stop to further ceremonies.
Provost, after finding out that he had
been deceived, and being elected from
the lodge by the chief, seized with grief
and remorse, placed pistol to his head
and blew his brains out.
John Provost, the interpreter, on
learning of his brothers. suicide, sought
out the Indian who betrayed him, and
Bernard his rival, intending to kill
them. Finding both in the agents
office, he deliberately and without any
warning opened fire on them, killing
Bernard. Several Mexicans, country
men of the murdered man, surrounded
the murderer, and would have lynched
him had it not been for the prompt ac-
tion of DIR. McGillicuddy. the Indian
agent, who sent him under guard of
Indian soldiers to the military guard
house at Camp Sheridan, where he now
awaits the action of the civil authori-
ties.
