e Three Burmans were led out to suffer
death by being shot. They were perfectly
apathetic, not seeming to care q Bit, judg-
ing by the way they laughed and talked
and smoked the never absent cigar. One
of them having been tied up, the other
two squatted down and watched the SEN
tence being carried out with intense inter-
est. The yolley was fired, and so true
had gone the bullets that the top of the
Burman's head was riddled with five Of
them. Turning away in disgust, what was
my horror and surprise to see the remain
/ ing two prisoners rolling on the ground,
convulsed with laughter ut the effect of
the Sepoys' rifles. 1t was some time be-
fore they recovered sufficiently to be
taken up for punishment, and when they
were, one Of them was smoking cigar and
the other burst out laughing just as the
order for firing was given.
The Burman, twill be seen from this,
Il apathetic, apparently Indifferent to
death. In spite Of this quality, he is o
coward in action and rarely fights in the
open or stands his ground when attacked.
They are not a tall race, and In many re-
spects resemble the Chinese, having fiat
faces and small eyes. They wear their
hair long like a women, and the greatest
insult that they can receive is TO have their
hair cut. In daily life they are lazy, max
ing the women do=exerything; thieves and
liars, and not to betfusted In any business
transaction. -Nevile Morris in New York

HOW LETTERS ARE VIOLATED.

They have the power to open letters as
well as papers, and often exercise it. In
fact there is no limit to their power. II a
citizen or foreigner is suspected of sym
patty with the revolutionary element, or
is supposed to be in communication with
agitators, whether at home or in exile, the
police give orders to have all his letters
delivered to them. The gum upon the lid
of the envelope is moistened by being held
over q jet of steam, and opened, or thin
knife with a keen edge is slipped under
the seal. The letter is read, resealed and
sent back to the postoffice, or it is retained
as evidence Of treason.
Letters going out of the Russian post
Offices are examined, as well as those that
come In. All packages addressed to
foreign newspapers are opened and their
contents read. Correspondents residing
in Russia write upon the thinnest sort of
stationery, and address the envelopes to
individuals or business firms, SO as to
avoid the espionage Of the police, who
destroy everything that in any way re-
fleets upon ''the administrative system. I"
AL manuscripts carried in bags or
trunks by travellers are examined at the
Russian custom houses to avoid the circu-
lation Of incendiary literature. AL news
papers found in the cars that cross the
border are seized and destroyed. had a
lot Of newspaper clippings in an envelope,
which had cut from time to time, relat-
ing to Russia. A gentleman in Berlin,
who was familiar with the operations Of
the Russian police, advised me not to
take them with me, as they would Ger
tainly cause me trouble If discovered by
the police. A gentleman connected with
the police ut Petersburg, to whom / spoke
Of this, said my friends advice was good.
II they had been found by some police
man or customs officer, they certainly
would have resulted in my detention until
my character and purposes had been in
vestigated. He kindly suggested, too,
knowing my business, that If intended
to write anything about the country it
would be better not to commence till /
had passed the borders.
The same espionage is exercised over
the telegraph as over the mails. A cor
respondent dare not send dispatch by
wire from Petersburg to newspaper. 1t
would never be delivered If it contained
anything Objectionable, and If it did not,
the fact of his having sent such o mes
sage would make him the object Of sus-
picion and police attention. Correspond
ents of foreign newspapers in Russia have
arrangements by which they send their
news by mail to some agent across the
border, who opens the envelope and tele
graphs its contents.-Wlliam Elcroy

age foreign ship building by guaranteeing
foreigners the business Of carrying "a per
cent of our commerce. Weare paying out
to foreign ship builders $4,000, 600 in
bounties.
Said Mr.. BLAINE, speaking on this sub
ject in Congress ON June 16, 1868:
You find no protection to these ships. If l
build ship on the banks of the Kennebec, SEND
her to Liverpool, and she meets ship from the
banks of the st. Jonn or from any other part oil
TIE world, now what protection does your laws
give her over the foreign ship What protection
do you give herr Not the slightest in the world.
There is one fact further which the gentlemen
ignore entirely and that is the freights OF these
ships are in many instances mole valuable than
the cargoes they carry, the immense trade carried
in America bottoms from the Chinehs Island,
The Guano Rsde, there the freights were uni
,ormly worth more than ssRRe cargo, Aselt- To-Day
the vast amount of the freights for the transpor
tation of British coal amounts to more than the
cargo. 1t is on freights that Great Britain Ii
growing rich and drawing TO herself the riches
of the world. Yet We stand here haggling over
the remission Of little bit Of duty, which Is In
significant compared with the millions OF
freights we might have in our grasp If we gave
any fair encouragement to our commerce.
