While Mr.. Sibirikiakoff, the wealthy Rus
sian merchant, was sinking thousands of
dollars every year In the vain effort to prove
that steamers could make the passage from
western Europe through the Kara sea to the
Yenisei river, rugged British sea captain
named Virgins kept asserting that the route
was perfectly feasible, and that the Russian
failed because his ships were inadequate to
the task, and consequently got fast in the
ice. On his own account Capt Virgins has
made three successful voyages to the Yenisei,
and with capitalist named Sullivan he has
now embarked in the Siberian trade by the
sea route. They left England thres weeks
ago in the well freighted steamer Labrador,
which they expect will be met at the mouth
of the Henisei by their steamer Phoenix from
Yeniseisk. 1900 miles up the river, with
cargo from the far interior of Siberia The
vessels will exchange cargoes, and the
voyagers will then push into the Kara sea
| again. They hope to make the round trip in
little over two months.
The profits of the voyage, if successful,
will be enormous. The ample productions
| of southern Siberia, of which Mr. KEENAN,
has recently given a vivid description, are
| as yet almost inaccessible, except for home
consumption 1t results from the almost
utter lack of communications that home
produce in Siberia is very cheap, while for
eign goods of all sorts are very dear. The
cost of freight from Moscow to Irkutsk is now
$50 ton. Capt, Virgins says he can make
a handsome profit by laying down goods on
the Yenisei from England at SIG ton. He
says he can buy on the Yenisei a first class
ships mast sixty feet high for IS; that beef
costs there only five cents pound; that a
ton of salt, worth fifteen shillings at Liver.
pool, is salable at Yenisei for SIS; that a
ton of wheat can be bought there for IS, and
he found fine quality of black lead SO plen
tiful that he ballasted his ship with it.
The day is coming when this great empire
with all its mineral wealth, its boundless for
ests, its furs and fossil ivory, its tallow, WOO
and grain, will be closely bound to the outel
world by commercial highways, and theI
Siberian produce will not be bought for
song.-New York Sun.

In lower Broadway ragged and barefooted
children are becoming numerous They
swarm over from the streets adjacent to the

wharves, in which cheap lodging houses for
emigrants have been long established 1t is
not an infrequent thing to see young girls
whose only clothing is rough coffee sack cut

lionaires. Occasionally there are scenes that
teach the old adage anew that lone touch Of
nature makes the whole world kin" One hot
day recently dirty faced girl with pinched
features, clad in dark calico gown and hav-
ing a coffee sack apron tied about her waist,
was seen carrying over her shoulder a sleep

state Alliances"

'State Alliances"
The Georgians claim very early Christian
ity-I think from the time of the earliest
Christian emperors, when it was Ro.nan
province They are fine looking race of
men, very fair, straight and slender. They
hate the Arrnenans, call them thieves, etc.
They are themselves very improvident, save
nothing, are heavily mortgaged to the Ar
menians, and hate them accordingly. have
seen nothing yet to justify the reputation of
the women for great beauty. A peep in
Constantinople under Turkish yashmak
and youthful ardor and imagination have
done more, suspect, for their great reputa-
tion than nature has done. A dark eye and
white forehead seen from behind veil en-
abling fervent imagination to fashion a
beauty which fully revealed face would not
bear out.
The Russians have struggled hard to stop
| the trade in girls for the Turkish harem, but
an intelligent Georgian told me it was still
carried on to a limited extent, but insisted it
existed only upon the mountains near the
Black Sea, and not in his part of the country.
But after all does the thing really do harma
| A handsome girl is sold to a Turk-she be-
comes his wife-and her parents in their old
age have comforts. Left here she and they
live like pigs in sty. The girls, am told,

more so than many beauty that you end

Kings and emperors would suppress the
selling of slave girls, and yet their own
wives, daughters and sisters are or were
made princely merchandise. Not far from
the Baltic there are royal studs where prin.

RoADsi ROADs!! ROADsiil

The Board of Commissioners will,
at this quarterly meeting, appoint
road supervisors and probably take
steps to secure the opening Of new
roads. In providing means to pay for
these improvements, it is hardly nee
,esssry to repeat, the Commissioners
need have no fear Of any popular
disarproval OF any course which they
may deem it Unnecessary to adopt, under
the law. In fact, they will hardly see
their way clear if they do one.hali
OF what is expected Of them.
The great need of this region is
new roads-roads to every gulch
ravine and valley where there is, or is
likely to be, even a single miner OF
rancher. II the Com missioners could
expend half million dollars on roads,
It would PROVE the best investment
that could possibly have been made,
both for the taxpayers and the county.
Tho law, however, limits the power
of the Commissioners, in this matter;
and, unfortunately for US, they must
be guided in their actions by the
Statute Gin such cases made and pro-
yidcd."
