Our Russian Purchase.
GlObe-DcmOcrat.

| 0lODc-DCuOCTdt
For seventeen years the territory
which Secretary Seward paid Russia
81, 100000 for has, while forming a
part of the United States, remained
almost as much unknown as that Sec
ton which appeared on the aliases of
fifty years ago as "The Great American
| Desert" Recent letters from Alaska
in the Globe-Democrat have given our
readers better ideas of its possibilities
than anything before printed, unless it
! was the report of Ivan Petroff, the
| agent of the census bureau, recently
published. The territory is supposed
to contain about 365, 100000 acres, or
as big as Texas, California, Nevada
and Indiana together. just now its fur
interests is the most important source
of revenue, the annual product being
about 100000 worth. There is plenty
of timber, but it is not likely to be much
drawn on for many generations to
come. Its mineral wealth is not yet
known, but there are indications that
it may be considerable. The fisheries
are good, but they are too far from a
market to be valuable.
1t has been reserved for Lieutenant
Schawtka, the Arctic explorer, to at
tempt the development within the bor-
ders of this Russian purchase of an
industry which, it is safe to say, would
have been thought impracticable by
ninety-nine out of hundred persons
the raising of cattle. But he pro-
poses to use the Aleutian Islands, not
the mainland. The popular idea of
their situation is that they are near. the
arctic circle, and consequently have a
rigorous and favorable climate. In
fact they are but little further north
than Washington territory, are under
the influence of a warm current from
the japanese Islands, and have an av-
erage yearly temperature of from sc
to 40 degrees, Fahrenheit. They are in
about the same latitude as England.
The grasses are rich, sweet and luXu-
rious. and such cattle as have been
raised there were excellent recommen-
dations to the islands as home for
stock.
The islands are not so far from our
Pacific coast as to be deprived of a mar
ket. They contain about 5000, 900 acres.
half of which is supposed to be well
adapted to cattle raising. The life of a
cattle king there will be in many respects
more isolated than on the ranches
of Colorado or Nebraska, but will be
more Independent and secure. Schwat-
ka has had enough experience in that
region to know something nearly what
it can be made to do, and he has in
duced capitalists to give him abundant
backing. If he succeeds, although it
must be confessed that we do not stand
in absolute need of more cattle ranges
just at present, there will have been
made beginning at settling and utiliz-
ing this territory which will more than
repay us for its purchase.

distress of the following two or three
years almost killed the game, but as
business revived and money again be-
came plenty, faro arose from the ashes
as it were, and resumed its sway. In
about 1910 the legislature passed bill
declaring faro to be illegal gambling,
and thenceforth whenever man
wanted to chuck the tiger" he had to
do it on the sly. Virginia took action
forbidding the game in the last century.
In 1850 she passed law requiring "the
subjects of the king to refrain from
playing the game of faro" The pen
alties for breaking this old law were
very severe, including heavy fines and
long term of imprisonment.

UH0t is Life:

l
Ralph Waldo Emerson reports con-
versation in which he and Margaret
Fuller and other transcendantalists took
part. 1t is so like them that we will
copy it.
On one occasion the question of the
day was, "What is life?'' Margaret
did not believe we had, any of us, dis
tinct idea of life A. S. thought so
great question ought to be given for
| a written definition. No said Mar
garet, that is of no use. When we 90
away to think of anything we never do
think. We all talk of life. We all have
some thought now. Let us tell it. c.,
what is life?' G. replied: 1T is to
laugh, or cry, according to our organi-
zation.' Good said Margaret, but
not grave enough. Come, what is life?
| know what | think. | want to find
what you think. Miss P. replied:
Life is division from ones principle of
life IN order to a conscious reorganiza-
ton. We are cut up by time and
circumstance. in order to feel
our reproduction of the eternal law
Mrs. E: we live by the will of God,
and the object or life is to submit, and
went on into Calvinism.
Margaret was then pressed to say what
she considered life to be. Her answer
was so full, clear and concise, at once,
that it cannot but be marred by being
drawn through the scattering medium
of my memory. But here are some frag-
ments of her satisfying statement. She
began with God, as spirit, life, so full as
to create and love eternally, yet capa-
bic of pause. Love and creativeness
are dynamic forces, out of which we, in
dividually, as creatures, 60 forth bear
ing his image, that is, having within
our being the same dynamic forces, by
which we also add constantly to the
total sum of existence" etc., etc. The
next day, says Mr.. Emerson, some of
those who were present begged Mar
garet to repeat the statement concern
ing life with which she closed the last
conversation. Margaret said she had
forgotten every word she said"

Washington Fifty Years Ago.

In those days it was no easy task to
reach Washington from distant parts OF
the country, and the members OF Con-
gress from those localities used often to
leave their homes three or four weeks
before the opening of session. A few
performed the journey in their own car
riages, and others rode saddle. horses,
which they retained for their own use
during the session and then sold. But
a large majority of the Senators, Repre-
sentatives, correspondents and claim.
ants who went to Washington travelled
in the stage coaches, and there was al
ways great demand for seats just be-
fore the commencement of "a session, on
all the lines which conferred at the
capital.
Washington had then been called by
an observant foreigner "the city OF
magnificent distances" an appellation
which was well merited. There was a
group of small, shabby houses around
the navy yard and the marine barracks
another cluster on the river bank just
above the arsenal, which was to have
been the business center of the metrop-
OILS; and Pennsylvania avenue from
the Capitol to Georgetown, with the
streets Immediately adjacent, was lined
with houses, many of them with shops
on the ground for. The Executive
Departments were located in four brick
edifces on the corners of the square in
the center of which was the White
House.
Pennsylvania avenue the Appian
Way of our republicans graded while
Jefferson was President, at a cost of
$4,000; he personally superintendent
the planting of four rows of Lombardy
poplars along that portion of it between
the Capitol and the White House-a
row along each curb-stone, and two
equi-distant rows in the roadway, which
was thus divided into three parts, like
Inter der Linden, at Berlin. Ia the
winter and spring the driveway would
be full of mud-holes, some of them axle
deep. and some of the cross-streets
would be almost impossible beds
of red clay, worked by passing
horses and wheels into a thick
mortar. On one occasion when
Mr.. Webster and friend undertook to
go to Georgetown in hackney-coach
to attend dinner-party, the vehicle
got stuck in mud-hole, and the driver
had to carry his passengers, one at a
time, to the sidewalk, where they stood
until the empty carriage could be pulled
out. Mr.. Webster, in narrating this in
cident, years afterward, used to laugh
over his fears that his bearer would fall
beneath his weight and ruin his dress
suit. John Randolph used to call Penn
sylvania avenue the great Serbonian
bog" and descant on the dangers of a
trip over it, to OF from the Union Hotel
at Georgetown, in the large stage with
seats on the top, called the Royal
George"

A Broken-Aearted Dog.

A remarkable story of dog that died
of a broken heart is told by DR.. Martin,
of Atlanta, Georgia. W. II. HaIvill,
the father-in-law of DR.. Martin, who
died recently at a ripe old age, was the
owner of very fine bulldog, by name
Ponto. "For months before his DEATH
says Mr. Martin, "this dog was his con-
slant companion. There was something
almost human in the devotion of the
dog to his master, and as natural con-
sequence, the master was particularly
fond of his dog. The daily movements
of the old gentleman for long time
before his last sickness were as regular
as those of clock, and Ponto followed
him as surely as his very shadow
When the old man died, Ponto took his
place by the coffin, and did not bulge
until it was taken from the room.
Then he got up and followed it closely
to the hearse, and followed it to the
grave. Ponto came back to the house
Il changed dog. Every night he lay upon
his rug in the porch and moaned pit
eously all night long. Every day found
him making the rounds just as he did
before the old man died. l tempted
him with the choicest meat, but he re-
fused to eat. l offered him the warm
est milk; he would not drink. He
went about with his head down, the
very picture of sorrow. He dwindled
away almost to a skeleton. One day,
about five weeks after the old man
died, Ponto came dragging his lank and
week body down the street. When he
got by the fence he stopped there and
sank upon the ground. 1 ran to him,
and lifting him in my arms, carried
him into the yard, for he was dead.

CELEBRATED CASE.
4 Great Array Of Legal Talent at Parkers-
EeE EEs burg
Special D. Ne Rsgiaer.

PARKERsBURG, June lS.-This has been
memorable day in the history of ParkerS-
burg. The State Temperance Convention
the Teachers Institute, the arrival ot Gen.
Ben. Butler and one of the most memora-
ble sessions of the United States Court ever
held here. The court met at P. N.
with a full bench, Chief Justice
Waite and Judges Bond and jackson on
the bench The presence of General But
Ter drew an immense crowd to the court
room, which was literally jammed by those
who wished to see the cock-eyed man OF
destiny, the nominee of two parties for the
Presidency. The case in which Butler is
now engaged is the celebrated oil
case, Mayhew vs. the West Virginia
Oil and Oil Land Company, which has
already dragged It's weary length through
the courts for seven years. From present
indications the litigation is only begun.
Some new points were reached dur
ing the arguments to-day. The most
eminent counsel is engaged on both
sides, among whom are noted in addition to
General Butler, Marshall, of Baltimore; {.
4 c. Cole, of Washington, D. c.; Governor
jackson, Ex-Governor BOreman, W. l.. Cole
and b. NJ Amber, OF Parkersburg. 1t is
conceded by all that b, NJ. Amber the
Youngest attorney of the eminent array
of coun el, made the keeneS;
and most inclsive argument offered to-day.
When
General Butler
arose to address the court a death-llke still
ness peryaded The court room, and fol over
an hour he held the attention OF the court
spectators. He S"emel at sea several
times in regard to the records in the case,
but managed 10 make strong argument
m favor of the chief charge Of
fraud upon the part of the syndicate o.
creditors who had wrecked the concern.
He seemed surprised that a C'rcLit COur,
would allow such irregular proceedings as
are shown in this case. He emade many keen
hits. The Court held night session in order
to enable counsel to complete their argu-
mentS. The general opinion is that the
sale which took place MAY first will be set
aside The Court will probably render
decision tomorrow.
After Butler left the court room tonight
he was taken in charge by a delegation OF
Greenbackers. He addressed about thod-
sand citizens tonight. The speech was
something after the tenor of his letter ac-
cepting the GreeRback Nomination, ANDY was
received with frequent applause.
