Cape Bikoff, discovered = large boat
with eleven survivors from the ship
wrecked steamer Jeannstte. They
had suffered greatly. The Adjunct Of
Chief of the District was Immediately
charged to proceed with doctor and
medicines to succor the survivors at
lakoutsk and to search for the rest Of
the shipwrecked crew. Five hundred
rubles have been assigned to meet the
most urgent expenses. The engineer,
Melville, has sent three identical teIe-
grams-one addressed to the London
Office of the Herald, one to the Secre-
tary Of the Navy, Washington, and
the third to the Minister of the United
States at St. Petersburg. The poor
fellows have lost every thing. Engi-
neer Melville says that the Jeanette
was caught and crushed by the ice
on the 23d Of June, in latitude
N degrees north and 157 degrees east
longitude. The survivors of the
Jeanette left in three boats. Fifty
miles from the mouth of the Lena they
lost sight of each other during a vio-
lent gale and dense fog. Boat No. 5,
under mmand OF Engineer Melville.
reached the eastern mouth of the
Lena on the 29th OF September and
was stopped by lcebergs near, to the
hamlet Of Idolaciro-1dolatre on the

An Unpleasant Situation.

In illustration of the disagreeable state
of affairs prevailing in St. Petersburg, the
Cologne Gazette's resident correspo ndent
in that city reports the following extra
ordinary incident. A few days ago a
young artillery officer, in full uniform,
and wearing spectacles, was walking up
the Nevsky- Perspective when a police
sergeant stopped him, and standing face
to face with him, held him with his gilt
engaged in taking an inventory Of his
features and raiment
"What do you want with me?" asked
the officer.
"You seem to me very suspicious
person." was the reply, "and not at all
like military man. You wear spec
tacles.''
"That,' rejoined the officer, "happens
to be because, without spectacles, l can
not see."
"That is not the question. In such
times as these, you would have done
better to have left your spectacles at
hOme.'
"But, pray, observe, that am in uni
FORM
"There is nothing in that Anybody
can dress himself up in uniform"
"Well, then, perhaps you will be so
good as to accompany me to my quarters,
where you can satisfy yourself as to my
identity"
This the jealous police official consent
ed to do. Meanwhile large crowd of
threatening aspect had gathered round
the interlocutors, and, had the young
officer lost his presence of mind or, still
worse, his temper he would in all proba-
bility have been torn to pieces, on the
merest suspicion that he might be Nihi-
list in disguise. Under these circum-
stances, St. Petersburg would seem to be
singularly unpleasant city to reside in
lust now

Arlecchin0 and PantalOne.

A farmer of Bergamo ordered GiroI-
amo, his valet, (Arlecchino.) to buy seven
donkeys at the fair. Girolamo goes on
foot to the neighboring village, and buys
the donkeys, pays for them and returns
to the farm mounted, in ecstacy, on
one of the animals. and drying the re-
naming six before him. When he
reaches home, before dismounting, he
takes the precaution of counting his dom
keys and finds only six. Thinking that
one has gone astray ON the road, he rides
back to the village, inquiring of every
one he meets if they have seen his lost
donkey. But no one has seen him; and
he rides about until nightfall, when the
fatigued and famished animal which
carries him utterly refuses to bulge.
This resistance draws Girolamo from his
reverie, and striking his forehead, he ex-
claims: ssImbecile, th,It am! there is the
donkey which l seek9 have been rid
ing him all this time" This is the type
of Arlecchino, an absent minded fool
Pantalone sends his other valet Brig
bella, to one of his friends with flask
of choice wine; but, knowing the tricks
of the youth and his fondness for eating
and drinking Especially drinking) he
takes the precaution of stealing the cork
of the flask Brighella makes hole in
the bottom, drinks half the contents, and
then stops it up again. The friend to
whom the wine is sent opens the flask
and perceives the theft "Ah, you ras-
cal," he cries, ''it is you who have made
this hole and drank half my wine"
Brighella pretends TO be very much as
tonished and hurt at being suspected.
"You cannot surely mean what you say"
he returns, in an injured tone, "because
it is not from the bottom but the top that
the wine is missing" This is another
Burgamesque type-deceiving, sharp,
ruse.

Unfrequented Paris.
Saturday Review. ]

Like all the out of the-way parts of
Paris, Quarter fdes Epinettes is lighted
by oil lamps, slung on wires across the
street, or hanging at the desolate corners
from sort of wooden gallows. The back
streets of this quarter Chiefly composed
of low stone huts with fat red tile roofs)
have great resemblance to the old lanes
of the southern French towns-a resem-
blance which is nota little strengthened
by the unsavory odors which prevail in
this unfortunate district, which has
acquired the worst reputation for villalny
of any in Paris. Nor is this to be won
dered st The endless labyrinths of small
passages, the rumbling houses with half
a dozen entrances, and the numerous
courts or "cites" which abound on every
side. make it % splendid place to hide in,
or to escape from if pursued. These
'scites are many of them of recent
construction, and certainly reflect no
credit on the persons who suffered them
to be built. The space between what
must by courtesy be called the houses,
although they are far more like cattle
stalls, rarely exceeds four feet. No pro-
vision of any sort whatever exists for
drainage, and here on either side of the
footway some of the most abandoned
ruffians of Paris may be seen in the day
time taking their ease in their chosen
abode-which they mostly do in sunshiny
weather by lying on their backs on the
floors of their dens with their feet pro-
jecting through the doors-formlng an
avenue of boots which might be monoto-
nous to the eye of spectator, but for the
interposition of bare foot or two. AS a
rule, they seen to be left completely to
their own devices-the Police contenting
themselves with making raid in force
from time to time, on which occasion the
Sergents de vile pay dearly for such vic
torres as they may win. In recent at
tack on the Cite Tilla des Fleurs, the
members of that body which M. Victor
Hugo abhers barely escaped with their
lives.
