Weak Woman VS.. Tyrant Man.

HERE is an illustration of what can
be done by defenseless, weak and I'M
protected woman when left alone to
deal with the tyranny of heartless men.
Ii was in Booths Theater last Saturday
afternoon. A woman entered with
seven companions, and took possession
of eight orchestra chairs. Presently
eight other claimants of the same seats
came along There was comparison
of tickets, and it was found that the
party in possession held tickets for the
matinee of the preceding Wednesday.
Explanation was followed by expostula-
ton. and this in turn by denunciation.
All in vain. The manager was sent for.
MADAM" said he, lyon must relin-
quish these seats. Your tickets are
valueiess.' THAT is no fault of mine.
l paid for them, and mean to keep
them" MADAM. | insist" The
enemy said nothing, but sat still. The
manager argued, appealed, implored,
offered other seats, offered a stage-box,
offered compromise on any terms. while
the rightful owners of the seats looked
and thought unspeakable things. Said
the garrison: ..Tell you what I'll do; give
me two season tickets for Bernhardt in
a good part of the house, and will sur
render" The manager gasped, utter
ed a blessing beneath his breath, bowed
and declined to continue the CONVERSE
ton. Then he retired in exceedingly
bad order. He did not get the seats.
but did issue another set of free admis-
sions to pacify the original proprietors.

The Minister of the United States at
St. Petersburg, in dispatch to the De-
partment of State, draws gloomy pict-
ure of the present economic and social
condition of Russia. The grain crop of
the past season. he says, has proved a
failure, and American wheat is import
ed now even at st. Petersburg. 1t is
also entering at Odessa and other Rus
sian ports. But a large market for this
American cereal cannot be predicted,
as very little bread made from wheat
is used in Russia; the mass of the peo-
pie must have cheaper and coarser
article, such as rye or Indian corn. The
scarcity of grain in the Empire is so
great that it was currently reported
and generally believed that the I'm
perial Government was considering the
propriety of prohibiting the expectation
of rye. There will be much suffering
among the poor classes. Minister Eos
ter quotes from the Goios. of st. Peters
burg, as follows: From all sides
comes news of the harvest being below
the average. of want and hunger, from
which will spring disease and very
likely death. Beetles, worms and To-
Gusts are eating up the corn; the dimi-
mutton of cattle surpasses all belief;
diphtheria is taking off the coming
generation; breadstuffs have already
reached five kopeks per pound. Every
one feels that Russia does not subsist
by the produce Of its own land, but is
wasting its capital in cutting wood.
selling surplus cattle. pulling straw
from its tha:ched roofs. and depriving
itself of its very clothes and shoes
OTHER Judges rs well as ours are laid
up and unable to discharge their duties.
The Lord Chief Justice of England is
i'll, and Barons Bramwell and Huddle-
stone are both wintering at Cannes. in
the south of France, for their health.
Sir John Mellor. who had retired on a
pension, has had to return to do duty.

have been housed. One feature of the
work of getting the effects under cover
was novel and interesting. Some Of the
chariots are very heavy, weighing sew
eral tons, and were sunk deeply in the
soft soil Too many horses to be used
conveniently would have beenrequired,
and accordingly the elephant-trainer
brought two of the sixteen elephants OF
the herd into requisition. 1t was inter-
esting to see how intelligently the
beast did what was required of them.
and to observe their tremendous
