 The people of Russia are just now much interested in the temperance question. Corn whisky is very cheap in Russia and the peo pie drink altogether too much of it. Fines, imprisonment, fogging, forcible enlistment in the army Ca formidable punishment in Russia) have been proposed as remedies. But the most original suggestion is that made several years ago by Russian .theorist M Kickoff, which has lately been revived in connection with the schemes now forming to improve the social and moral condition of the Russian peasantry. M. Rickoffs plan which was warmly supported by various na- tive phiIsnthropists at the time of it's first appearance in 1S72-is simply to impose heavy fine, not upon the drunkard himself, but upon the village to which he belongs, thus giving to all his neighbors direct per- sonal interest in keeping him sober instead of making him drunk.

Of late years the employment of women as clerks has greatly increased in England as well as in France; and in both countries 1t is factorily. At the Bank of Fran ce there are now 160 female clerks, who receive three francs day to commence with, and whose
 annual salary, after year or two's service,
 rises to 300 francs; and at the Paris offices of the Credit Foncier, where also there is 8 large staff of women, the remuneration be- ginning at $50 francs a day, rises in some cases to as much as 4,e00 francs, or $500 g year. In both establishments the hours of attendance are from to on six days of the
 week; and the male and female clerks sit in different reoms-the women being superin- tended by officials of their own sex and thus enjoying the greatest possible degree ot privacy.
 When Henry Watterson parted from Mr. Samuel J. Tilden year ago he never expect ed to ''see him later" But he has been wis iting the statesman and has written an inter esting account of his visit to his paper. Mir. Watterson went to Gramercy Park in 'sa somewhat sorrowful, sympathetic state of mind" But if an apparition had stood be- fore him he could not have been much more surprised. 'sThe days of 1875-6-7 seemed to have come back. His low voice was found again; his eyes were bright and his cheeks rosy his intellect as sinewy and clear and his wit as incisive as they were when he made nothing of riding Blackstone to Harlem and back or driving the Kentucky bays from
 Gramercy Park to Greystone." Mr. Tiiden tired Mir. Watterson out in showing him the beauties and wonders of his new house. But,

C.P.HUNTINGTON'sTaEORy
In Regard 10 the Sfssissippi RIVer-1Es
Hang NO asaG Example.

WASHINGTON, April 2I.-Mr. c. ?. Hunt
iugon, Of Greenville, Miss, Eho has for
m any years made study of the Mississippi
arrived in this city last night. He has had
theory that if the Mississippi sought new
outlet by way OF the Atchafalays, as now
seems probsble, the river above the mouth
Of the Red river would adjust itself TO the
relief that would follow the short cut to the
gulf and change its channel between Cairo
ami the mouth of Red river BY cutting across
bends so az TO make it possible to leave
Memphis, Vicksburg and other river towns
inland. The object of Mr.. Huntington's
visit to Washington was TO consult the Chi
nese minister IA to the effect OF the change
in the Hang Wo, river taking lis course
through very much the same kind oi
soil drained by the Mississippi. Until
1851 the Hang Wo had for a thousand years
emptied into the Yellow Sea. In that year
the river took more direct course, shorten.
ing its outlet by 250 miles. Mr.. Huntington
called on the Chinese minister to.usy, and 10
response TO the inquiry whether the Hang
Wo, above the point where it's new outlet be-
gins, had changed its course, was Informed
that it did MOI; that the channel above re-
mainsd the same as it had been for 300(
years, except that it has been very sensiby )
deepened, and hat the overflow from ireshe''
had been less frequent and destructive. Mr.
Huutington's theory WAS therefore exploded
Had it been confirmed there is little doub
that the up-Tiver cities on the Mississipp

A SINGULAR STORY.
MAN OFFERS A PHYSICIAN 500 TO POISON
VIA

HIS DEMENTED WIFE.
NEW YORK, April 2I-A singular story
was told to-day by DR.. Bowen, one of the as
sistant surgeons Of the Kings County Lu-
natic Asylum. Il appears that Mrs. Patrick
Quinn, wife OF an Irishm n residing in South
Brooklyn, is an inmate Of the asyi5m. Sac
is suffering from mental disease Of chronic
character, and no hope for her recovery Is
entertained. Physical decay, however, has
not accompanied the rnia OF her intellectu al
faculties, and there is every reason for cup
posing that, with proper .c,re, she
will live to ripe old sge. From
what Quinn has been in the habit of say
ing to the employees Of the asylum, there ia
little doubt that an opportunity for another
matrimonial alliance was the one thing
needed to complete his happiness. He con-
stantly bewailed the cruel fate of man who
had demented wife, and declared that il
Mrs. Quinu was of his hands ne weuld get
married again. The last time Quinn visited
the asylum where his wife was confined he
had long talk with her, and was about to
leave, when ne asked one of the nurses to see
DR.. Bowen.
"What can do for you" said DR.. Bowen,
when he made his appearance.
"Well, Doctor" said Quinn, "my wife will
never get better, and if l could get rid of her
l might get married again and take good
care OF my children"
"Whst do you mean?" said the doctor,
more than ever convinced that Qdina was
mentally degeneratipg.
