ST. saviour's at Moscow.

Twelve million dollars 10 a large sum
to expend II building a single church,
but the new cathedral of Moscow cost
more than that sum. 1t has been near
ly half a century in constructing. but
the wonder is not that the time is so
long, but rather that it has been 50
short. Very few of the famous cathe-
drals of the world have been erected
and completed within the limits of a
single life. Wars have interrupted the
building, or funds have failed at times in
most such cases.
The great cathedral of st. Saviour's
is erected as a memorial of the deliver
ance of Russia from Napoleon Bona
parte, In 1872. Less than three months
after the retreat of the French the En-
peror Alexander /. issued q decres that
the church should be built, and d few
years later the foundations were laid.
Jobbery is the curse of all Russian
government-work, and after those who
had this matter in hand had spent and
squandered about three-million dollars,
the church was abandoned, q new site e-
lected, and the work was begun all over
again.
The work of laying the foundation of
the great structure was completed In
July, 1888. It took twenty years to
erect the building and cover it in, and
the ~scaffolding was taken down in 1858,
This scaffolding alone costtwo hundred
thousand dollars.
Since that time the interior has been
nearly finished, and the cathedral will
soon be constructed. It is a wonderful
structure, with five great gilded copper
cupolas, surmounted by crosses, the
central one of which stands three
hundred and forty feet from the ground.
The whole building is faced with
marble, and the interior is pronounced
the most exquisite in its decoration in
Europe. There are magnificent paint
ings, elegant windows, costly Candida
bra, and the floor and walls are inlaid
with many varieties of marble In the
best taste.
One hardly knowaw whether to be more
astcnished at the grandeur of the edi-
flee OF at its exceeding richness. Fol
there is hardly anything in the world tc
equal the gorgeous splendor Of the al.
tar and its accomplishments; and yet
one is startled to hear that the cathe-
dral covers seyenty-three thousand
square feet. and will accommodate COM
fortably in its central area-for it is in
the form of a Greek ~cross--ten thous-
worshippers.
The bells for this church cost seven
ty-five thousand dollars; the largest
weighs twenty six tons, and the small
est Only thirty pounds. There are q
great many bells. as there always are
in Russian churches.
Only by the Of an empire
ruled as Russia is, by q single will,
could such a church have been built
within SO short a time.

Agoua OF rnr rouE SEASONS

When Spring comes laughing
BY vale andhill,
BY wind flower walking
And daffodill-
Sing stars of morning,
Sing morning skies;
Sing blue of speedwell,
And my Loves eyes,
When comes the Summer,
Full-leaved and strong,
And gay birds gossip
The orchard long
Sing hid, sweet honey,
That no bee sips;
Sing red, red roses,
And my Loves lips.
When Autumn scatters
The leaves again,
And piled sheaves bury,
The broad-wheeled vain
Sing flutes of harvest,
Where men rejoice;
Sing rounds of reapers,
And my Loves voice.
But when comes winter
With hail and storm,
And red fire roaring,
And ingle warm
Sing first sad going
OF friends that part;
Then sing glad meeting
Andmy Loves heart

From the Huntington penn. News.
News has Just reached here from
Roxbury, this county, of a most re-
markable case of snake charming, which
occurred here on Monday afternoon.
Miss Elizabeth Carson, aged twenty
years, who was raised in the family OF
Mr.. Samuel Sharps, q respectable farm
err of Roxbury, was directed by Mrs.
Sharps, on Monday afternoon, to re-
pair to a blackberry patch q short dis
tance from the house and gather ber-
ries for supper. Nothing unusual took
place until the young girl had filed her
basket and was about starting for home
when she experienced a very peculiar
sensation in her left ankle, which APP
peared as though ii we're being wound
tightly with o stout rope. Miss Carson
set her basket Of berries down for the
purpose Of examip;ag into the cause OF
her discomfort, when to her unspeak
able horror, she discovered that a hinge
black-snake had coiled itself round
her ankle, and was drawing itself up
tighter and tighter as to positively stop
the circulation of the blood In the limb,
and cause the unfortunate young girl
the most e~xcruciating pain. She had
no sooner set eyes upon the reptile than
it charmed her, AMI she was rendered
powerless to free herself from her re-
pulsive tormentoT. =
How long she remained In this condi-
ton Miss Carson is unable to say, but
thinks it must have been oyer ten min
utes. Her liberation and escape is as
singular as the cause Of her strange
periencs itself. The snake, it seems,
wound itself so tightly around her ankle
that the muscles of her leg were drawn
out of their natural position, and the
circulation of the blood having been
checked, the limb in it's contorticsFs was
moved, which had the effect Of drawing
the eyes of the snake from those of its
victim, thus breaking the charm which
it exercised. Volitisn having returned,
Miss Carson pulled her sunbonnet from
her head, and windingi it around her right
hand she caught the snake by the head
and uncoiIed il from her ankle and
threw it with such force against a stoue
fence neal BY as to kill it instantly.
1t was afterward found to measure five
feet three inches in length. Miss Car
son reached home in an exhausted con-
dition. Medical aid was promptly sum-
moned, and everything done to relieve
her sufferings, but it is feared that gam
creme will ensue on account OF the
withered condition Of the limb, which
is rapidly falling away. The muscles
of the ancle have been reduced to mere
threads, and the circulation OF TIE blood

HAVANA, Aug. 4.-The Minister of Colonies
has telegraphed to the Governor general as fol
lows, under date Madrid July %:
'"The order of the 25th provides that, from
the 1st of August, the remaining sur tax of per
cent is abolished although, by previous order,
published last year in the Official Gazette, the
sur tax should have been abolished the 1st of

This order will go into effect Aug l."
The treasury being completely exhausted, the
officials telegraphed to Madrid for permission to
suspend the burning of 100000 in bank bills,
which, according to law, takes place every
month.
According to a letter to the Vos dCuba, a
guerrilla band under command of Valaderes
pursued Aguere, who had with him four or five
followers from Medidas, in the jurisdiction of
Cienfuegas, to Guanar Grande, near the river
III anabana, where the track of the fugitives
was lost. The chief of the band was
apprised by spy that Aguero was lodged in a
hut on the estate Faguey Chic, about six miles
and reconnaissance was ordered, but Aguero
had left before the party reached there. The
next morning further reconnaissance resulted
in the discovery that Aguero, with three follow
ers, had really been there, and only escaped by
receiving timely advice of the approach of the
troops. He had left behind him three horses,

Disease indicators.
PARIS, Aug. 4.-There have been no deaths
from cholera at Toulon to-day The total num-
Der of cases now under treatment is 109 There
was one death to-day at La Sene and two at
Montfort- sur Argens
At Marseilles, up to o'clock P. NJ, there had
been seven deaths from cholera since IL in the
morning Only three cases were admitted into
hospital to-day. Sixty cases are being treated
now; ten persons were discharged to-day.
The fact that the swallows which migrated at
the outbreak of the pestilence, have not yet re-
turned, and that there are no sparrows at all in
Marseilles, is adduced as evidence that the at,
mosphere is still vitiated. This migration Of
birds has made deep impression upon the pub
lie, and led to demand for the publication of
the atmosphere by bonfires.
The physicians fear that the return of the
people to their unhealthy lodgings in Toulon
will cause fresh outbreak, and, possibly an
outbreak Of smallpox and typhoid.

A GREAT OFFER.
The WEEKLY JOURNAL
for the Campaign at
% CENTS

In order to place the WEEKLY INDIANA
STATE JOURNAL in the home Of every Repub-
ican in the State, and thus do good campaign
service for the Republican party, we have de-
cided to send the paper till after the presiden-
tial election for IS cents.
THE WEEKLY JOURNAL is complete family
newspaper It is specially edited, and much
of the matter appearing in it is especially pre-
pared for the wants of the weekly readers. It
is compendium of the NEWS OF THE WORLD
from all quarters; it has full and accurate mar
ket reports; its editorials are political, social
and general; it has the news Of the State
and of the city. Its literary and miscellane-
GUS features are of the best.
THE WEEKLY JOURNAL is newspaper that
should be in every family in Indiana, and at
the price named for it there is no reason why
It should not be, at least during the exciting
and important campaign upon which the
country has now entered. Political com
mittees cannot do better than to see that
copies of The WEEKLY JOURNAL are placed
in the hands of those persons in their
counties who are not now readers of
gome sound Republican paper. The
tariff question is the one issue which
is likely to be most prominently dis
cussed, and to this the Journal pays especial
attention, advocating the maintenance of the
principle of protection to American industry
in whatever revision of the tariff laws may be
made necessary in the future developments of
business and labor In this question the
farming community is deeply interested, and
the discussions of the journal will be
largely directed to the agricultural aspects Of
the question.
THE WEEKLY JOURNAL is the only paper in
Indiana that publishes regularly Ten Pages,
and this will be continued throughout the
campaign, despite the low price Send in
names at once, either singly or in clubs, and
thus get the full term for the money.
