Rich Mems Amusements.

A Correspondent of the Philadelphia
Record, writing from New York city,
tells how some rich Gothamites amuse
themselves:
Some years ago sat one evening
reading volume of Prescott's histories
in the library of rich Wall street man,
who was bank president at thirty,
when he came in and asked me if I
really enjoyed reading such books. He
added that he found it impossible to in
terest himself in any of the hundreds of
volumes he had purchased, though he
had tried hard to do so. when I take
them up" he said, II see nothing but
rows of stock quotations on every page !"
This gentleman died at forty, and
left large fortune as the price of
his life-a fortune which his family has
since dissipated. Had he had anything
to occupy his mind outside of his office
and when he left Wall street he might
have lived to enjoy the pleasure of
spending the million he had made In
almost every case some special amuse-
ment or point Of relaxation is a sanitary
necessity for the business man whose
brain is racked by the concentrated
pressure of his six hours of daily street"
labor. Jay Gould is diligent reader
of books and cultivator of exotics.
Vanderbilt never opens book, but his
horses and stables serve to freshen up
his intellect. John Jacob Astor climbs
to the top of his house and ina secluded
sanctum hammers away at some me-
chanical inventions that are to revolu-
tionize the industrial world-that is to
say, if they are ever perfected.

Egotism of Victor Hugo.

The Chicago Tribune undertakes to
show that Victor Hugo is very much
overrated man. Although his genius is
undoubted, he is eaten up with egotism.
Notwithstanding his extraordinary
physical and mental vigor," says this
critic, che really belongs to the past.
He has no affinity for the simplicity and
naturalness representative of the itera-
ture of the day. Indeed, he has not
caught the contemperaneous spirit, nor
does he wish to. Surrounded by sat
elites, they talk to him only of himself /;
and fill his ear with extravaganza eulo-
gums. Everybody addresses him
as dear MASTER and strangers
who call on him-he is
very accessible-do little else than echo
the praises he expects as his due. Many
Of these praises are ludiciously excess
sive; but they never sound so to him:
His hearing has grown callous to the
exaggerated compliments that have so
long assailed it. No Anglo Saxon could
Or would endure such battery of adula-
lion. Superlatives have become so IA
miliar to him that the positive degree
might awaken resentment. He is con-
tinually accosted as Divine the great
est of poets,' the monarch of mirth,
the intellectual ruler of the age,' and
The like. A not uncommon form Of
greeting is: How is the good god p
to which he responds with wonderful in

Extension of the Russian Empire

The star of Russian empire is taking
it's way east in manner very unpleas-
ant to Englishmen According to a
paper lately read before the Royal
Asiatic Society the Russians are display
ing remarkable activity on the Caspian
and Black Seas, and have so managed
matters that corps darmee might
be well on the road to India before
the movement attracted much at
tention, England having no consular
agent in either place. Baku is rising
Caspian port, which is attaining no.
toriety for its remarkable petroleum
wells. This has led to the collection of
a large fleet to convey the kerosene to
various parts, and, to the establishment
Of the Russian Government, they have
thus an unlimited number of steamers
which could in twenty-four hours tran
sport the corps d'armee to Michaelovsk,
on the eastern shore of the Caspian.
From this port there is already rail-
road to Kizildavat, distance of LAT
miles; and from the latter place to
Askabad, 1876 miles, there is aroad, and
a railway is proposed. Thence to
Saraskh is 1876 miles, and from the last
named place to Herat is 202 miles, and
a Russian surveyor has already surveyed
the entire distance and proved that a
line can be easily made.

lst inst, d committee, consisting of T.. Parli-
man, William A. Wilkes, H. H. Keith, T. S.

pare resolutions on the death of the late Hon.
Jefferson P. Kidder, judge of the Fourth jul
aicial district. This committee, at meeting
recently, reported the following, which was
adopted and ordered entered in the court
record:
Resolved, That the supreme court of this ter
ritory, the district court of the Fourth judicial
district, the bar, and people of this territory
have sustained III the death of the Hon. Jetfer-
son P. Kidder, the loss of an honorable and
upright judge That his long judicial career
in this territory has been marked by great ill.,
dustry, high abilities, and incorruptible integ-
rity, and in the termination of his long public
career, universal regret is felt and unusual
sympathy extended.
Resolved, That in this slight tribute to his
memory we can but inadoquately express the
loss sustained by his death That his life and
labors characterized rs they were by honor,
industry and the fullest integrity, are left for
the future, and stand as an encouragement to
those of us who survive him, showing that sue
cess in life depends more upon integrity and
good faith than upon more brilliant accom-
plishments.

Death of a Prominent Badger.

o. NJ Conover LII. d., court reporter of the
Wisconsin supreme court, died very suddenly
and unexpectedly in London, England, at
o'clock Wednesday morning, the Beth, of heart
disease, aged fifty-nine years. Eighteen
months ago he was married, for the second,
time to Miss Sarah Dean, sister of Gen. Lucius
Fairchild, since which time he had been taking
an extended bridal tour in Europe.
Mr. Conover was born at Dayton, Ohio, and
graduated at Princeton college, both from the
classical and theological departments. He
went to Wisconsin in 1858, preached, practiced
Jaw, and edited literary magazine, and from
1852 to 1858 was professor of ancient langua.

Madison, resigning that position to

The Lax Morality of Turkey.

The San francisco Chronicle says !:
If any people on the face of the earth
have an easier, more elastic code of NOR
ais than the Turks, they have not been
discovered to date. Nothing is better
known the world over than that every
Turk is thief. Honesty is q lost art
in Turkey, and the Turks are rather
glad it is lost. The beauty about the
knavery of these people is the delicacy
of its finesse. The bounds are rarely
overstepped. From buying pin to
buying horse, caveat emptor is the
only safe rule to be observed. The
Turk is not prejudiced. He will cheat
the other Turk as readily as he will q
foreigner. But It is in the politicians
and judges that the perfection of corr
ruption is to be found. When these
classes cannot beg you to bride them
they bulldoze you into making them q
present. So far has this corruption
progressed in the civil service that ii is
q common thing for hard working
farmer or thrifty merchant to be arrest
ed for treason merely in order to give
the officers pretext for dividing his
property among them under the confis-
cation law.
