A Band of Robbers Who Defy and Con-
quer the Russian Troops.
A band of audacious highwaymen has
for more than one year perplexed the
Russian authorities in the Caucasus.
The band is composed of Caucasians,
and the chief is q certain khiaram, or
kerim, who performs extraordinary
acts of Gun ming and courage. About
the end of last winter a large body OF
troops-horse and foot-succeeded in
surrounding khiaram and his men, and
the chief commander of the troops had
already telegraphed to Tihis that
Khiaram could not make his escape,
but the next morning he disappeared.
Four months later the authorities re-
ceiyed a message from Khiaram him.
self. announcing that he has passed
some time far from h s dear country"
but that he had returned to recon-
mence his bus ness" In a few days the
central author ties received reports
from Kars that XII aram and his band
were killing, plundering and burning
throughout the district. The troops
under the command of Prince ChaIf-
chavatse. chief of the Aoutais regiment
of cavalry, pursued the band, but to no
purpose. When the horses of the high
waymen became tired Khlaram gave
the order to kill them and to take horses
from the villagers. In this way they
reached the frontier; the soldiers there
who tried to prevent them from pass ng
were killed: and khiaram and his men
crossed the frontier on the back of the
horses of the dead sold ers. Some weeks
ago Khiaram returned to his dear
country and many travellers were
plundered forthwith. The authorities
felt they ought to make a supreme effort
to re-establish their prestige; they united
a great force and khiaram was sur
rounded. 4 telegram from Tifiis now
states that Khiaram and all his men
have again succeeded in escaping, after
an active battle asting about five hours.
and during which many soldiers were
killed or wounded. The brigands broke
through the soldiers chain and passed
on to Turkish territory. These explo Is
would scarcely be possible were not the
brigands in some degree supported by
native population.-St. Petersburg Cor.

An Extravaga Careless Public Printer

Some of these days there will be a

bought all his ink and some other
supplies from his brother-in-law in Chi
cage. Most of the supplies of various
kinds he obtained either from or
through his relatives and personal
friends. When new printing-presses
were wanted his son was made the un-
necessary middleman through whom
they were purchased. Some way was
ALWAYS found for a friend to make a
commission, and much of the supplies
were wasted or destroyed by not being
properly kept. Printing-ink, for in

FRENCH SILK.
How 1t Is Made In and Around the City
of Lyons.

Row It is Made In and Around the City
of Lyons.
Around Lyons the silk trade is in
the hands of small, practical manufac-
turers, who have risen by dint of in
dustry and skill from the ranks of
workmen. These men set up in bust
ness for themselves. but not in any
large way; they do not employ many
hands, and often themselves work
harder than any of their assistants.
These hands, both male and female
for women are employed as largely as
MEXICAN and do receive instructions
at a very cheap rate, and from the best
masters, at one or other of the Ecoles
de Theorie of Lyons. There the whole
process and the best modes of silk
manufacture are extensively taught
Chemistry and the arts of coloring silk,
with the drawing and designing of
patterns, are included in the lessons.
This system of small manufacturers,
who board in their own families the
apprentices they train to their trade,
was once general throughout France;
but in the past fifty years it has been
superseded by another, known as the
Convent Factory system, 1t sprang
up first among the Jura mountains at
the small village of Jujurieux. A ma
tive of the village q poor lad, had
worked at Lyons as an apprentice in
the establishment of one of the small
master manufacturers SO common there.
BY dint of industry and intelligence
Jean Bonnet soon became a master
himself, and entering into contracts
with important Partisan houses in
course of time accumulated large
fortune. Returning to his native place
he found it as he had left it-ugly, de-
caying and wretchedly poor. and re-
solved to raise it to prosperity. He
began by buying a large piece of
ground, on which he built number
of pretty cottages, handsome church
and finally a large factory, in which
he resolved to employ only women.
He fed. lodged and clothed the poor
girls whom he received into his en-
ployment, paid them small wages, and
taught them the art of silk weaving
along with the rudiments of education.
At the beginning of his enterprise he
had many difficulties to contend with !;
his pupils in the first instance often
preferred the rough work OF the fields:
but he persevered with his experiment
until he had conquered all obstacles
and made Jujurieux prosperous and
his system success. Ihe girls, the
native material out of which he formed
his workwomen, became, by the aid of
select body of nuns whom he had en-
listed in his service, famous through
out France for their good conduct and

THE FRAUD" NOT DEAD.

The Dfsgrxce of 1875 Revived Again I'M
the Person OF . Republican Candidate
for the New Mexican Territorial Coun-
Gil.
A friend and subscriber in Lincoln
County, N. M, writes us that one d.
j. NJ. A. Jewett is running as a Re-
publican candidate for election to the
Territorial Council. Our correspond
emit understands that this man was b
member of the Louisiana Returning
Board which robbed Mr.. Tilden of the
Presidency just ten years ago, and he
asks US for the record.
Jewets was not a member Of the Re~
turning Board, but he was intimately
concerned in the concoctioa of the
fraud. A carpet-bagger from Boston.
and the tool and creature of William
Pitt Kellogg. Jewett served in the ca
pacity of secretary of the Republican
Election Committee. The famous cir
cular of Sept. %, 1876, .instructing the
supervisors of registration in the sew
eral parishes just what Republican ma
iority was expected of them, bore jew
ett's signature. you must obtain the
results called for herein without fail,"
he wrote. s-Once obtained your recog-
milton will be ample and generous"
Later he drew up some of the fraudu-
lent protests that were attached to the
withheld returns after it had become
apparent that the Louisiana Returning
Board was to decide the election. His
testimony before the Potter Investi-
eating Committee in 1879 amounted to-
a confession.
It is not necessary to 60 into the de-
tails of Jewett's operations in New Or
leans, for he himself has put on record
documentary evidence of his notorious
character. While the Potter investi-
CATION was in progress Jewett wrote to
his old patron and master, Kellogg,
threatening letter; from which we ex-
tract the material passages:

A NORTHERN PARTY.
The Reason the Republicans Are 'Sop-
pressed in the States of the South.

The Reason the Republicans Are "Sup-
pressed" in the States of the South.
The season is already far enough adj
vanced to make it clear that the Re-
publican party does not intend this
year to make any effort to extend itself
beyond the States in which it at present
exists. 1t is a Northern party as dis
tinguished from a National party, and,
if one may Judge by appearances, il
proposes to remain such.
In the two Virginias, in North Caro-.
lima, in Kentucky, in Tennessee, in Ar
kansas and in Texas the party is or
ganized and is doing good work to-
ward educating the whites as we'll rs
the blacks up to the idea of political
controversy, but in the other Southern
States the party exists only in name,
and in most of them does not go to the
trouble even of making nominations.
Occupying this attitude, Republican
ism must take one horn or the other oil
the dilemma, which Is presented. Unjust
acknowledge that it is sectional or
ganization or it must cease lamentina
the soIidity of South which it makes
no effort to disrupt. 1t is most effect
ually estopped from making the time
worn allegation that intimidation has.
driven the party out of existence, for
the fact THAT there is a Republican par
tv in some States and none in others is.
proof which can not be evaded that it
is not intimidation which leaves the,
party without an. organization in many
of the States.
With the case of Virginia, Tennes-
see and Arkansas before US, it is plain
that where there is any disposition to
have Republican party in the South.
it can be had. In Virginia, an ex-
Confederate. with Northern assistance,
had no difficulty in splitting up the
Democrats and uniting one wing of
them with the negroes in a scheme for
the reputation of the State debt un-
der the name of Republicanism. In
Tennessee, two brothers, neither of
whom figured in the war, are candi-
dates for the Governorship on rival
tickets, and at their meetings blacks as
well as whites attend in great num-
bers. In Arkansas political freedom
of action has been demonstrated by
the appearance of third, or farmers
party in the field.
These are facts going to show that
the reason why there is NO Republican
party in certain of the Southern
States is because the leaders of that
organization at the North do not want
any there. The sectional idea is still
held in allegiance. In a pinch it may
have to be used. TO use it there must

What Makes Vinegar Sharp.

George Adams, in 1747. said that
some people have imagined that the
sharpness of vinegar is occasioned b.
the cells striking their pointed tails
against the tongue and palate; but it is
very certain that the sourest vinegar
has none of those cells, and that its pun
gency is entirely owing to the pointed
figure of its salts, which float therein. -
