WASHINGTON,

WAsHINGToN, Sept. 13.-Carroll ID. Wright,
commissioner Of labor, Saturday submitted to
the secretary Of the interior his report of the
operations OF the labor bureau for the year
ending June 80, 1856. The COMMISSIONS says
especial agents of the bureau are now active
ly employed in the field of work connected
with convict labor, strikes and womenworkers
In large cities. The Investigation relating to
labor, wages, etc, Of railway employees in the
United States | have delayed until some por-
ton Of the force Of special agents can be re-
lieved from worl; on which it is now engaged.
From the fact Of the late organization Of the
bureau In 1885 you will at once see it is i'm
tuting the second annual report of this bu-

The Devil and Brandy.

Count Leo Tolstoi, the Russian nov-
elist, has given a new turn to his i'm
agination. He has produced a farce
in six acts with the title, The First
Brandy Distiller." The work is CON
pleted, and if the sanction of the CEN
sor a be obtained. and it is expected
that there will be no difficulty, the
novel production will before long find
its way on to the stage. The work Is
neither of political nor religious char
acter. 1t is based upon the Russian
legends relating to the invention Of
brandy by the devil. Devils, indeed,
are the only characters of the piece.
The plot is rs follows:
Mankind is led astray by these sa-
tanic omissarics, and supremacy over
their victims is bestowed upon the
chief of demons. This chief divides
his devils according to position and
sex. Soho are commissioned to cor
rupt noble people, others business peO-
pie; others, again, are charged with
the corruption Of women and girls, of
lawyers, and so on. All the devils dis
charge their tasks to the full satisfac-
ion of their sovereign, saving one,
who should have led the peasantry
astray. This II is punished until,
in despair, he promises to do lis duty
well. After receiving a supplementary
cudgeling, he goes among the peasants
and takes service as u simple servant
He works diligently fer his master that
the latter becomes intellectually rich,
his corn accommodating to such a eX-
tent that it cannot be all used. Here
the demon servant advises his master
to make spirit of his corn. The ex-
pertinent is made. and the farmer is
delighted with the result. He calls
wife. children and %ncighbors together,
and the general verdict on the liquor
is that it tastes excellent. The com
pany INDUCES to such a degree that
singing, dancing. shrieking. then abuse,
violence, and improperly. become the
order of the day. Matters having
reached this point, the supreme devil
makes his appearance. He r~ejoices at
the ingenuity Of his subject, and
awards him praise. Here is the de
nouement. The play certainly has ;
moral. which probably needs pointing
in Russia us much rs anywhcre.-Pal

Yesterday afternoon a telegram received
here announced that the schooner Annie

The schooner was afterward seen in a sink

board, and the waves were dashing over
the vessel, Later she rolled, and Sisson
took to a small boat and healed for

and those who watched through glasses
saw the frsil boat battle with wind and sea,
and finally land on the east side of Fishers
Island. Sisson was in the small boat five
hours.
