Tea-Gre wing in the Caucasus.
Foreign Letter.l

Owing to the growing depression in the
wheat crop the Russian government has
decided to start the coming summer a tea
plantation on a large scale at Soukum, Kali,
in the Caucasus region, and to import coolies
from China to work it Experiments in q
small way have proved that tea can be
grown in the Caucasus, but so far it has cost
almost as much per pound as that grown by
the United States government in South
Carolina, which was a matter of 81 50 a
pound or thereabouts. Russians are great
tea-drinkers, importing annually 100000
pounds one-haf of which is brought over
land across Siberia and the remainder to
Odessa and Cronstsdt by sea-

THE coloRED FOLKS BALL


Two Distinct Glasses OF ColOred People In
the City Of New York.
I''Flaneur's'' New York Letter.l
The series Of balls which have been given
during the past week in the Madison Square
garden have been immensely amusing, both
IN their novelty and the keen enjoyment Of
the people who participated in them. The
Plumbers association. Retail Grocers' asso-
citation. the Engineers, and last, but not
least, big ball given by the proprietors and
editors of journals for the benefit of the col
ored people, served to make the week at the
Madison Square garden one Of festivity and
JOY.
There were nearly 1900 negroes in the
garden by 2 o'clock, and they had sand.
witches, lager beer, ios cream. kronk beer,
apple pie, cranberry tartA, red behring's, and
cigars in profusion. Negroes dance naturally,
it comes as easy to them - singing, and
have seldom seen any moro graceful waltz.

dressed men and women from the uptown
colony of negroes of New York. There are

these negroes, and some Of them live in .

janitors and restaurant keepers in lower
New York have an income q high as s, 900,
and they live in fats and apartments, with
their own servants, and bring up their
children at the public schools with all the
advantages of public education. There are
colored women in this district, and hum

tion of the suppression of the Bosphore Egyptien
M. De Freycinet most courteous in tone and
manner, and expressed the greatest consdera-

France, however, said Minister De Freycinet,

for the internal government of Egypt.

A BRUTAL FATHER.
Shocking Cruelties to Crippled Child-The
Lad Half Starved.

WILLIAMsPoRT, Pa, April 27.-Casper Huggler,
Swiss, living in Rocktown. on a road leading to
Sulphur Springs. with his wife and six children,
was arrested tonight charged with revolving
cruelties to his own son John, lad of eight
years. The pitiful story of the boys suffering,
told by his own lips and corroborated by neigh
bors and by the appearance of his bruised and
emaciated body, filed all who heard it with
horror.
The child is crippled so that he is unable to
walk. and has barely sufficient strength to stand
on his feet. The evidence shows that the boy
was locked in the stable 5y his father for days
and nights without food or water. In one in
stance he was so nearly starved that On food be-
ing brought to the dog, which was also kept in
the stable, the boy crawled out from his confine-
ment on his hands and knees aud picked up the
crumbs as they dropped from. the animals
mouth. Huggler, at another time, placed the
boy in barrel and kept him there for several
days, and when the childs hunger and pain
compelled him to scream for mercy tine father
seized him by the hair of the head, jerked him
out of the barrel and beat him.
A neighbor entered the house to-day and found
Johnny lying in the garrett with nothing on his
body but a tattered shirt. Under pretense of

The child is so weak and thin that be has tc

and sores on his person can be counted by the
dozen. The little legs are bruised and battered

the little body. The child does not weigh above
