A FORTUNE IN BooTs.-The
regs which the Russian peasant
wears have struck all travellers
who have visited Russia. Sufficient
to say that boots are considerea
objects Of luxury and until now, ii
title Russia, the girls buy one
pair of boots and must wear them
throughout her life. On SUNDAY,
when she goes to church she walk
barefooted~in the cold mud of tue
road and only when she has arriy
led at the church she washes her
feet in a pond Of water puts on
her boots, and enters full dressed.
The three roubles (about Blk shill-

considered by the peasant as such
an immense amount Of money. that
his wife never must expect to in.

her whole life.

A man who bitches a horse and
buggy on a sidewalk, on a Sunday
when the whole community, es.

sense.

The political outlook in Iberia
parish is quite aattering to the
friend Of reform and good govern

shall be a change in the Judiciary
and will use all means IN their
power to effect the desired end.

From Hartford.--We have re.
ceived from the old Travellers In.
surance Company, of Hartford,
? copy Of the official engraving Of
the Bartlloldi Statue to be placed
in New York harbor. 1t is the
only correct picture Of that noble
gift, and faithfully represents to
the eye the enormous statue, com:
and in the midst of its mag.
nifcent surroundings.

The nominations made by the
Republican Convention are excep.
tiopally good. 1t is just a little
remarkable that the Republican

Beattie and Stevenson when there
is any chance Of electing it.
