Russian Grain,

1t was not many years since that
Russia was regarded as the gtannry of
Europe, but of late years the United
States and India have to great extent
become the sources of supplies. This
has resulted from the change in the
cultivation of the soil by which free
labor was substituted for that of serfs
hut owing to number of circumstances
Ill which the usurer and the land laws
play an important pnrt the hew method
is less efficient than the old !; md second,
from a change in the manner Of market,
ing the grain. Formerly Russian wheat
was held in very high estimation, and at
the different markets quantities of wheat
whose excellence was guaranteed by
knowledge of its source could always be
had, Now, as Il rule, the cutivators arc
IN financial straits, and mortgage their
crops to Spectators, who do not hesitate
to mix high grade with q low glnde
and export it as oil high grade wheat.
These dishonest methods have become
so general rs seriously to affect the
foreign demand for Russian cereals. and
| system of government inspection is
D ropoBcd as nh extreme remedy for the
situation. We're as effective system of

these gives as instances If successful

which yielded thirty-ninc dollars and

of eight days hunting which netted

Without speaking of those enemies OF

Very methodical in his habits is the
alligator, and very suspicious of any

"DTEM PERDfDk"

Though the dim chambers Of my secret soul
strange ghost wandcrs;
As one who has DER all it secs control
1t walks ahd ponders.
Sometimes whore gay and subtle fancies faro
1t shows its features,
And straight the bright things vanish In thin
Elusive creatures
Sometimes it fills my trembling heart with
OF the tomorrow,
To see the wrath of what thought was dead
Its likeheBs borrow.
And yet, and yet cannot bid It 90
From me for ever;
1t were 30 sad il /, with all its woe,
Could see 1t never.
For 1t WIS once filed up with delight,
A passing pleasure,
Which, though in truth it loft my soul less
white.
Was mine to treasure.
SO just to give this formlcss thing name
Must bring me sadness,
Since it no more can know Lifo's glowing flame
And fragrant glatlncss.
OF yesterday, DER which all men repine
with bitter grieving,
Because it took away some joy divine,
Some firm believing.
Still yesterday-a loss without an end,
Each day another,
That leaves behind one more frail hope to
tend,
Ofgrief to smother.
But sometimes, in a rccompense Of pain
And vain cndcavor,
Our sweetest yesterdays we shall regain
TO keep forever.

TILE SOUTHERN "'GATOR.'

Six thousand baby alligators are sold
in Florida every year, and the am cunt
of ivory, number of skins, and quantity
of oil obtained from the older members
of the Saurian family are sufficient to
entitle them to high place among the
products of the state.
The hunters sell young "'gators " at
twenty-five dollars per hundred and the
dealer from seventy-tive cents to one dol
lar each. Live alligators two years old
represent to the captor fifty cents each; /;
and to the dealer from two to five dol
lars, rs the season of travel is ut its
height or far advanced. A ten-foot alli-
gator is worth ten dollars, and one four
teen feet long twenty-five dollars to the
hunter, while the dealer charges twice
or three times that price. The eggs are
worth to tho hunter fifty cents per dozen,
and to the dealer twenty-five cents each
The dead alligator is quite as valuable
as the live one, for n specimen nine feet
long and reasonably fat will net both
branches of the trade as follows:

A Horrible Affair.

We have been informed of horrible
affair that happened one day last week on
the Siuslaw about five miles below Cat
wrights, says the Roseburg Plaindeazer.
The facts as told us are about these: Mrs.
Roork, wife of the Rev. Roork, left home
to visit a neighbor who lived near II miles
away. At point about equal distant be-
tween the two houses she met the neigh
boris dog, and it Immediately attacked her,
threw her down, broke one of her legs and
gnawed the flesh therefrom, after which it
terribly mangled her breasts and tried to
get at her throat, but could not succeed as
she firmly clasped her hands over that por-
tion of her body and although they were
terribly torn and mangled, she kept it from
choking her to death or cutting her throat.
The continued cries of the woman was finally
heard by the owner of the dog who arrived
in time to keep it from killing her outright
as she was almost exhausted. He killed
the dog and cared for the woman as best he
could, but there is little hope Of her re-
covery.
