l despair of giving an idea of the
beauty OF the churches. The coronations
all take place in the Church of the An
nunciation, which was newly gilded for
the present emperor. Standing in the
center, one sees on every side mass of
gold and jewels. relieved by the deep,
rich coloring OF the paintings on the
walls, the ceiling, and the large pillars.
Figures in heroic size of saints, apostles,
and prophets are set off by glittering
background of gold leaf; there are orna-
mented tombs, thrones for the czar, the
empress, and the metropolitan, and gorge
Gus banners flying. Here is the picture
of the Holy Virgin of Vladimir, which
was brought from Constantinople, and is
said to have been painted by ST. Luke;
miraculous powers are ascribed to it, and
the jewels which adorn it are worth $3.50,
600.
l fear that I should discredit an exact
account of the quantity of precious stones
which ornament these churches had not
seen them for myself. There are rubios,
sapphires, pearls, emcralds, and dia-
monds, in marvellous profusion. They
are on every picture, and blaze on the
priestly garments. Some are beautifully
cut, like canoes and one emerald
measures an inch and a half in length
and an inch in thickness.

The Coolies in Trinidad.

An Englishman who witnessed the re-
cent riot among coolies in Trinidad SAYS
if it were the means of drawing public
attention to the condition of the coolies
in the island, and the manner in which
they are brought there, it would not be
such a subject of regret. He writes to
the L0ldOn Times: There are in the ISL
and about 10000 coolies, in
Guiding men, women, and children. 1t
is much to be feared that some of them
are induced 10 come by means of false
representations. They are led to believe
they are coming to land where they
will eat the queens bread, do very little
work, make plenty of money, and where
they are promised the free exercise of
their religious rites. One of these rites
consists in making parodas of various
sizes and different grandeur, according
to their respective wealth, filling them
with presents, and finging them into
water sufficient to carry them away and
destroy them, as an offering to their god.
In order to do this they have hitherto
been allowed to assemble together from
the various states and pass through the
towns on their way to the sea. The gov
ernment, however, forbade them this
year to come into the towns, fearing that
they might create riots, as there had been
some dissatisfaction among them on ac-
count of increased work and pay at the
old rate. The poor, deluded creatures,
not content with the rivers on the estates,
tried to force their way through the sea.
They were stopped by the police at the
boundary and requested to turn back.
On their refusing, the police fired.
Eighty eight were wounded and twelve
killed; among them are said to be women
and children. AS they only had sticks
they were practically unarmed, and as
soon as the uninjured saw their compan-
ions fall they fled in great terror. The fact
is that the rest of the population is afraid
of the coolies, and so take these stern
measures to keep them down.-&. James

The Greely Rescue.

In describing the rescue of Lieutenant
Greedy to q reporter, a sailor of the res
cuing vessel Bear recently gave the fol-
lowing version:
CAT Littleton Island, the entrance of
Smiths Sound, we were nipped in the
ice three days. The Bear and Thetis
sailed from there to Cape Sabine, on the
extreme point of which records of the
Greedy patty were found by an ensign of
the Thetis The Bear started at once
for Cooked Hat Cove, where Greely was,
as indicated by the message. The steam
launch under Lieutenant Colwell made
the landing. A figure was seen advanc-
ing over the ice.
"'Who are you9 said Chief Engineer
Low.
"G am Sergeant Long, said the ema-
ciated wretch.
is Greedy alive3' was the next ques-
tion.
5" Yes, but starving. For Gods sake
give me something to eat
eve took the man on board the Bear
at once. Commander Schley and DR..
Ames landed as soon as possible with
medical supplies. The party was found
in a dilapidated tent, lying in their
sleeping bags, unable to stand upon
their feet, which were useless.
They were so weak and emaciated that
they were literally nothing but human
skeletons wrapped in skin. Greedy was
reading from prayer-book to private
Cornell, who was supposed to be dying.
AS soon as he knew that it was an
American expedition that had rescued
him Greedy said: i am glad to see you
DR.. Ames took charge of the party and
allowed nothing to be given them but a
small teaspoonful of brandy puuch at
intervals and at last small quantities of
food. The living and the dead were re-
moved aboard the vessels as soon as pos
sible. All but six bodies were recovered.
They were wrapped in sheeting and
covered with alcohol in tanks. We
stayed at Cape Sabine only eleven hours
and returned through Melville Bay as
fast as the ice would allow.
Zone of our Esquimaux went crazy
here, and, jumping on the ice, ran off as
fast as his legs could carry him. Two
sailors were detailed to follow and bring
him back. Such running you never saw.
When they captured him he turned up
his toes like turtle, expecting to be
carried. But the tars didn't look at it
that way. They punched him with their
boarding pixies until he was glad to trot
back to the ship. We arrived at st.
Johns, Newfoundland, July II, where
the irons collins were received and the
bodies placed in them"

Opium Smuggling in India.

A good deal of ingenuity is displayed
by opium smugglers in the central prov
inces in running their contraband goods.
In one case which came before the
authorities last year, two and a half
maunds of foreign opium were discov-
cred slowed away in the saddles of two
camels, and in another case five and a
half maunds of the same material were
found packed in vessels supposed to be
full of oil. On examination of these
vessels it was discovered that q tube
running down the center of each was
filled with oil, the remaining portions
of the vessel being packed with opium.
In both these cases the opium had been
brought from Holkar's territory, and the
smugglers were caught at Nimar while
attempting to run it into the Bombay
presidency. Despite the successful de-
lection of the offenders in these in
stances, it is daily becoming a matter
of greater difficulty to detect opium
smuggling. The well-to do importers
of contraband opium rarely attempts to
run the drug in person. They generally
employ poor agents, such as grass and
wood cutters, who are not often sus-
pected, and to whom period of i'm
prisonment does not much matter their
employer in tho meantime helping their
families. = Times Of Iada.

THE WINTER or THE YEAR.


1t is the Winter of the yearl
Ger buried flowers the snow riffs lie;
The storms havo vailed with ashen graz
The blueness of the Summer sky;
No brooks in babbling ripples run,
No birds are singing in the hedge,
No violets nodding in the sun,
Beside the brooklet's frozen edge,
Yet unto leafiess, broken boughs,
The greenest moses closely cling,
And near stern Winters stormy verge
Float soft, prophetic airs of Spring.
1t is the Winter of our lifel
Der buried hopes the snow riffs lie,
And storms have vailed with ashen gray
The blueness of the cloudless sky;
No light steps cross the threshold stone,
No voice of love our welcomes greet,
No gentle hand enclasps our own,
With cordial salutatior sweet;
Yet unto bruised and broken hearts
Endearing words of promise cling.
And float upon Times stormy voyage,
Bright blossoms of eternal Spring!
