A Russian Princes CriMe.

This city has been in turmoil of ex-
citsment for the last few days over the
assassination of DR.. Schmidt, who met
his death a: the hands of Prince Grou-
sinsky, . Russian noble of once great
wealth and influence. The murder was
committed in cold blood. and in the
present state of Russian affairs it is
probable that the Prince will be made
to suffer the extreme penalty Of the law
for his cowardly act, contrary to the
usual custom Of punishment given to
nobility for such acts. In former days
few hundred roubles could make up
for the killing of a serf. and few thou
sand for the destruction of q free man.
DR.. Schmidt was . graduate of the
Medical College of Berlin. and came to
establish himself in Russia in 1869. As
his German diploma would not allow
him to practice medicine in Russia, he
entered tho College of Moscow and
mastered the Russian language; but on
the following year he was compelled to
return to Germany to take part in the
war against France. At the conclusion

She Didn't Transit.

Just before noon on the 9th inst,
thousands Of Detroiters were gazing at
the sun through smoked glass to behold
the transit of Venus. There was q
group of forty or fifty at the corner of
Michigan Avenue and Griswold Street,
and 3 farmer who was on his way to
market with load of produce halted his
team to see what it all meant. He
didn't "give himself away" all at once,
as some men might have done. but first
looked to see what could be seen. The
crowd faced the Mechanics block. and
in one of the upper windows was scrub
woman cleaning the glass. After long
look at her the farmer bent down and
asked of boy beside the wagon: .
"Say, bub, what happened?''
Transit of Venus" was the reply.
When does she come OFF,
Fright away, l guess s. -
Then II wait, and I'll bet this load
of 'taters agin sheep pelt that if Venus
takes transit from that window to the
sidewalk she'll never dance agin. It's
a free show, anyhow and I'll count my
self in"
He waited and watched for ten min
utes, and at the end of that time the
woman finished the window and disap-
peared inside. The man rubbed his eyes
and looked, and stood up and looked
again, but she had gone from sight.
Well, I'll be hangedr' he muttered.
as he gathered up bis lines /" In the
first place Venus was as hom'ly as an
old oak stump; in the next place she
didn't transit at all. but disappeared. and
