RUSSIA.

A St. Petersburg letter gives gloomy
account of the new cars life at the cas-
tie of Gatschina, 80 miles from the cap
itol. Before the court removed thither,
several hundred artisans of the Preobra-
iinsky regiment were sent to make the
necessary alterations. At midnight they
assembled in the church at Gatschina
and were sworn secretly to silence, death
or Siberia being the penalty of infraction
of their oath. Ten roubles was the price
of each mans silence. The alterations
were made in As hours. Vodki rus
sian whisky soon loosened the tongues
of the workmen, and the following is
description of the precautions against as
sassination made in the palace of the
car: A subterranean passage leads from
the czar's room to the stables, where a
number of horses are kept saddled and
bridled day and night. Sentinels are
posted at intervals of 20 yards all around
the building. The imperial bedroom
has two windows protected at night by
massive iron shutters, which can only be
reached from the outside by passing
through three spacious ante-chambers, in
which are posted so Cossacks armed to
the teeth. They are allowed to speak
and to move about in the two outer
rooms, but in the hall adjoining the
czar's bedroom perfect silence is main
tanned all night. The general on duty
for the day sits in an easy chair, hi;
Cossacks sitting on the divan which runs
around the room. At the generals right
hand is the knob of an electric appara
tus which rings a bell in every guard
house within the palace grounds. Wher
the emperor is about to retire to rest
before shutting the door he removes tn,
outer handle so that no entrance can b,
effected until he himself personally open
the door from the inside. Unlike hi
father, he cannot endure the presence o
an armed soldier in his bed-chamber.

The bronze statue of David G. Farru-

The bronze statue of David G. Farru-
gut, which was unveiled In Washington
Monday, cost $4,000, and is the work
of Winnie Ream, now Mrs. Hoxie, who
was selected as the sculptor by the board
appointed by Congress out of tweny one
competitors from all parts of the world.
The judges were Mrs. Farrugut, General
Sherman and Secretary of the Navy
Robson. The statue is of heroic size,
and represents Admiral Farrugut with a
marine glass in his left hand, his foot on
a block and tackle, and supposed to be
standing on the Hartford. 1t faces south,
upon pedestal 6 feet inches high and
a base of about z feet square. The lat
ter is of Maine granite, unpublished. At
each of the four corners of the base is a
four-inch mortar erected on bronze car
rage. These were made of metal from
the propeller of the Hartford. The met
al of the statue was also obtained from
this propeller.

THE WOOL TRADE.

The market for wool remains without
material change. Manufacturers are hold
ing back, and purchasing only for.imme-
diate wants, although the aggregate Sales
foot up fair average. There is no pros
pect of any favorable change, and while
goods continue so unstable and low, the
wool market is likely to drag along in
very unsatisfactory state. The new clip
is backwards at all points and growers
do not yet realize the depressed state of
Eastern markets, as stocks of new are
generally held at figures that could not
be realized. 1t is fortunate that the clip
IS coming forward late, because any large
accumulation at interior points at the
present time would only add to the de-
preston. The recent sales of Montevid-
go wool could not have cost more than
70 to 75c the secured pound, and there
is a good supply of old stock of domestic
and foreign to fall back upon, which
holders are anxious to close up at low
prices. The sales of Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania feeces have been at 40 to Ale for
x and Il to 42c for Xxx and above :;
Michigan and Wisconsin feeces at SO to
SOC for x medium and No. l Ohio and
Pennsylvania at 43 to Acc. and Michigan
and Wisconsin at 40 to 45c; combing
and delaine 1eeces are steady at AZ to
44c for fine delaine and As to AZ for fine
and Medium combing; and unwashed
combing at 25 to &c per Id, including
choice Kentucky at 80 to 32c. Califor-
MIA wool has been in moderate demand
and other unwashed feeces have been
quiet. Pulled woods continue in demand
at 80 to 40c for common and good, and
very choice from As to SOC per Id, and
the better grades are most sought after
by manufacturers. In foreign wool there
is no change, and transactions since oul
last have been limited. Boston Marke

STAR ROUTE FRAUDs.-This branch
of the postal service relates to transport
tation of the mails by coaches and in
general by all other means than by
steam communication. On many of
these routes the postal service has been
increased from weekly to triweekly and
daily. The extra compensation for this
increased service is not determined by
competitive bidding as is the original
contract. In awarding this extra pay
for increased service the frauds in the
second assistant postmaster generals
office were committed. Original con-
tracts for 5000 have been increased to
S15O,OOO, from 1874, 900 to $500, 900
from $4,000 to 100000, from $4,000
to $4,000, ETC. Routes have been ex-
tended at various points in the extreme
west and southwest for the sole purpose
of plumber where postal service was
neither asked nor required, the routes
being practically destitute of habitations.
The total amount of these stealings ex-
ceeds two million dollars, which has
gone for the most part into the hands of
the ring that has worked up the jobs.
An influential array of interested parties
has appeared IN Washington to stay in
vestigations and shield the perpetrators
of these crimes. 1t can be safely assum.
ed that President Garfield and Postmas
ter General James will run the plowshart
of investigation relentlessly through the
corrupt mass without fear or favor.

In apportioning blame for the star
route scandals, it must not be forgotten
that Brady's orders increasing sundry
contracts by $2,8O2,OO0 were made over
Is months ago, and the facts in regard
to them were laid before Congress and
the last administration in the winter of
1880. In the face of that exposure Con-
gress voted Brady all the money he ask
ed and the administration continued him
in place. Since then additional facts
have been discovered, among others the
convincing circumstance that increased
pay was ordered and paid for services
never performed but the bold and start.
ling fact that Gen. Brady, by orders
signed within year after he had award
ed certain star-route contracts, increased
the compensation under those contracts
by one-half his entire appropriation for
all the star routes in the country, was
brought out in the winter of 1880. 1t
ought to have condemned him then, as it
did with every observant student of the
subject.
The Montpelier Watchman says: "The
much berated tax law of 1880 has been
the means of raising the grand list of
Montpelier from 81 ,343 to more than
$4,000, a three-fold growth in the short
space of one year. The personal prop
erty which has been returned to the list
ers as liable to taxation amounts to about
S7,50O,00O, and the real estate is ap-
praised at about 81 100000. Last year
a citizen of the town who paid poll tax
contributed to the support of government
in the form of town, highway, state,
state-school and county taxes, about sew
en- dollars this year it will probably not
cost him more than two. This is prac-
tical illustration of the benefits of the
law which will commend it greatly tc
the great majority who are not partic
ularly blessed with this worlds goods
The taxable amount of real estate of the
town has been increased about two and q
qua rter times, and personal property
more than five times. The largest hold
er of real estate is Mr.. Langdon, whose
possessions are appraised at from SIS, ZOO
to $4,000.
