Russia has peculiar way of dealing with
strikers, who are probably regarded as incip-
lent nihilists. One day last month the COM
positors in the St. Petersburg Herald Office
asked for an increase of wages, Intimating
at the same time that if it was not granted
they would leave. Some of the men were
Germans, and on the matter esming to the
knowledge of the Chief of Police he ordered
the whole lot of them to leave the country,
and they were sent across the frontier forth

They have long been in an extremely neg
lected condition, and almost buried from
| sight beneath all manner of debris aud ref
use. Directions to put them in as presenta-
BILE shape as practicable were given by the
late Abdul Azz, at the time of the Austrian
Emperor's visit, and the work was actually
begun; but it was soon abandoned again,
The immediate cause for its renewal at the
present time Is the recent visit of The Austri-

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company is
making an effort to abolish the popular use
| of the word "depot." The word "station "
| Is to be used on its lines henceforth, and even
the great "Union Depot" at Pittsburg is
hereafter to be known as the "Union Sta
tion.n But one difficulty in the way of this
change is that the words "depot " and " sta
| ton " do not mean the same. Depot is the
name of the railroad building at the station.

COMMANDER GoRRISGE delivered lee
ture in San Francisco few evenings ago re-
lasing to the removal Of the obelisk. In the
course Of the lecture he stated the one re-
moved to this country was enc of the most
ancient and interesting of the obelisks. Ut
originally stood before the temple In which
Moses studied, but was removed from He'll
opolls to the spot before the palace of the
Casars, In Alexandria, In % b. c. The
Khediye was justifed.in parting with 1t be-
cause 1t was being undermined by the sea,
was leaning over about four degrees, and
would soon sink into the Mediterranean,
after the Casarism before which II once
stood, and neither the Egyptian Treasury
nor the foreign merchants would pay cent
for Its preservation. The obelisk Is sixty
nine feet high. eight feet thick at the base
and weighs 220 tons. II was put into the
vessel through hole In the bow. The
heaviest single weight ever put into vessel
before was the 100ton guns Of the Italian

Sickness in the Royal Family.

New YoRK, November 25.-A cable spe-
cial TO the Beraid from Berlin says: The
Emperor's health causes no immediate anx-
ieiy. His throat has always been very deli
cate, and al this moment he Ia suffering from
a severe cold, at the same time several irreg-
ularities In his digestion have given him a
good deal Of pain, and have brought on sew
e.al fainting fits during the last few days, so
that his physicians have ordered rest and
absolute quiet, and have forbidden him any
serious occupation with State affairs. The
Emperor Is said TO be in somewhat low
spirits. Danger seems, hswever, to be en-
cluded, ut least for the moment. The En-
peror passed last night pretty satisfactorily,
and to-day he has even taken some light
food, but his appetite is still wanting. The
Crown Prince and Crown Princess paid him
. visit to-day. Inquiries were made by all
the foreign courts.
Princess Sophie, oaughtsr of the Crown
Prince, Ii suffering from an attack of diph-
liberia, and Professor Fredericks has been

that the time has come for Chilli to cease Its

THE famous Dalrymple farm Of 10000
acres, in Dakota, is really made up OF small
er farms, with separate ownerships; but all
il under the management of Oliver Dali
ryuple, who owns 1000 acres outright, and
is likely to sosn become halloween in the
rest. When he assumed charge the propile-
tors of the various tracts put In the land al
a fair valuation, and money enough to i'm
prove IL, charging 8 per cent. for the whole
investment. The important provision was
that whenever the profits reached over and
above 8 per cent. year, sum suif'cient 10
repay the entire outlay, half the land should
be his. At the time 1t was not supposed
that much, If any more, than the promised
percentage could be derived from the farm.
But the crops have been heavy, and nothing
but serious mishap will prevent Dairymple
from realizing his hopes within two or three
years.-Netg York Sun.

BEEcHER AND cuITEAu.
Som. Opinions Of One by the other.

Soms Opinions Of One by the Other.
NEW YoRK, November a5.-Beecher, in
bis Thanksgiving sermon yesterday, said :
g Out OF the trial which now appears to be
going on at Washington, IL there should
come better definition OF nature which is
responsible for wrong, 1t would be some
compensation for the disgust 1t now inspires.
Some outcome to show that meteor-bred ma
lures are not outside of the moral laws is
needed. Such an outcome, determining by
sound legal authority the limits of human
nature, will satisfy us for the prolongation of
trial which looks now like fight between
an imbecile Judge at one end of the bench
and a vagrant fool at the other. applause
1t looks like an idiotic court trying To find
the wicked insane. A voice" That's il ~
But we look on, hoping that out of this ges-
tation child of hope will be born that
from patience mistined aud patient brood
ing there will come the birth of better times,
and those sane enough to organize crimes and
accomplish them will be considered sane
enough to be hanged. [Applause.l lam not
specially in favor OF hanging, but If there
ever was case for it there is one now.
am not specially prejudiced against hanging,
If we only get the right man to hang; but in
our modern civilization il is better to put a
man in hole where no one can see him
than to hang him; yet the better way may
not, on occasion, be as good as the worse
way. Hanging ought not to increase, and II
dsne at all, should be in absolute seclpsion,
with only one or two Witnesses to see hat
the law is regularly accomplished. Itwould
cause more terror TO the brutal classes 10 see
man move in the dark, come forth only for
trial, and then pass away with no tidings, no
sound or SIGHT of him.
WASHINGTON, November 90" Guiteau s

from the stand, Guiteau improved the mo-
nentary lull TO make the first speech Of the
day. ~ notice my friend Henry Ward

case. used 10 attend his church sod prayer

well as l do, you would MOI pay any atten-

who think he is badly cranked socially, and
have no donbt that Mrs. Tilton told the
truth, and that he lied about IL, and l tell
him so publicly" "Ob, well, prisoner, that
will do for you" said Davidge. Guiteau was
apparently satisfied, and nodded with asmile,
saying, " That's all right, Judge, have had
my say on Beecher and | am satisfied"

Why Guiteau 10 Tolerated.

NEW YORK, November 25.-Ths Worlds
Washington special says: 1t Is said on be-
half OF Judge Cox that the license he allowed
Gulteau is attributable to two motives, one
in behalf of Guiteau's insanity, the other q
determination that the trial shall be In every
respect such that whatever the result, neither
the prisoner nor his friends shall ever have
ground for complaint Of unfairness. Rather
than leave . loop-hoie for such complaint, he
chooses to allow the customs of the court TO
be daily outraged aud TO disregard his duty
both to the prosecution and TO himself.
Whatever the explanation may be worth, II
IL put out as plausible reason for his tolcr-
alton of Guiteau's behavior.

New YORK, November 26.-The Times
Washington special says: There Is excellent
reason for believing that the present thteat-
ening relations between thi. country and
Chill are the direct growth of gigantic Wash.
iigton lobby schemes. The claims of Amer.
leans against Peld on account of guauo
grants are new owned by a syndicate OF cap
italists and politicians, with headquarters
here. These claims are now repo, ted as

been issued for use here aud elsewhere In
inducing the United States 10 insist upon
such action on the part of Chill toward Peru
as will protect these claims.

THE London Pail Mail Gazette of the
22d Of October suggests that IL might be
better for England If Canada were to annex
herself to the United States. The writer
assumes that the admission Of 100000 as
LOYAL subjects of Great Britain as The Capadt-
ans are TO citizenship in the Uni ed States
would do much to cement the friendship
now existing between the mother county
and her sturdy ofshoot. The Gdzs,ce seems
TO overlook the leading characteristic OF The
United states-its assinilativeness. Before
a score of years would have rolled around
oughly Americanized as arethe great masses
of Germans, English, Irish and other coun-
trymen who make the republic their home,
and would forget that they ever boasted OF
being the most loyal subjects her Majesty
possesses. The presence of so many cit;
gems with English sympathies Is not neces-
sary TO make Americans friendly toward
Great Britain. The United States can afford
to be SO until England sees fit to give us
cause to change osr feelings.

Woodward says Gibson is scoundrel, and

opinion is that beth are right. Cook Is not
