NJ. Tsakni, n Russian writer, has just
published an interesting work upon curl
Gus religious sects in Russia. 1t appears
that in the empire there are no less than
IS, 900, 900 of devout followers of insane
and cranky notions of Christianity; and
new religions or sects are constantly
springing up in spite of all the efforts of
the Russian authorities.
One of these sects is called the Runa-
ways. They fly from their villages or
towns. They believe in returning to a
wild state of existence, destroying their
identity as much as possible, and living
like savages. Civilization they regard as
the great curse of humanity. They also
carry on a sort of brigandage, and one of
their most sacred duties is to rob
churches.
There is another sect, calling them
selves Christs. They adore one another.
Crazy dancing forms part of their relig-
ious ceremonies.
The Skoptsys, another religious body,
believe in self mutilation. They are also
expert dancers and tumblers. Barnum
would be proud of such a set of acrobats,
There is another sect that never speak.
They make signs skillfully.
Bloody sacrifices form part of the re-
hbAOh VI obht idIioll1os AM III DuICIti
ing of sons and daughters to appease the
wrath of the Lord is getting rather too
common.
There are also missionaries who go
around preaching the glories and beau
ties of suicide, and its absolute necessity
for salvation. A Mr.. Souckhoff is the
leader of this gang. He was arrested
for murder some time ago, but managed
to escape, and turned up in a village,
where he preached so hard in favor of
murder and suicide that several of his
followers cut each others threats, and
others shut themselves up in their houses
and burned themselves to death.-New

The people of the entire West will
learn with pleasure that the president
yesterday nominated Gen. George Crook.
commander of the department of the
Platte, to be major-general vice Gen.
Terry. Gen. Crook will be succeeded by
Col. John r. Brooks, of the Srd in
iantry.
Gen. Crook has well earned his promo
ton. He has seen years of arduous SER
vice since the war on the frontier and long
ago established his reputation as a sue
cessful Indian fighter. There was never
anything of the holiday brigadier about
Crook and as he is still a man in the
prime of a vigorous manhood his friends
hope to some day see him at the head of
the United States army.
Gen. Crook spent yesterday at Fort
Russell, but departed for Salt Lake in the
evening before he had learned of his
nomination. He was accompanied by
Mrs. Capt. Roberts and Mrs. Lieut..
Roach.

THE Stock Journal, OF this city, is not
much given to righteousness. 1t is usually
sober, if not always stately, in its utter
ances, but in its last issue it indulges in
a bit of technical humor which is worth
reproducing. 1t is as follows: There
were a good many sure enough cowboys
in town this week. There were also
quite a number of COW punchers' who
have never punched cows. Their expert
ence has been largely in the way of 'haz-
ing hoe handles, 'roping' post-hole
augurs and marking pies with a big over
bit back in the granger states. But
they'll tackle the uncertain bronco aud
the frivolous calf, even if they have TO
move both heaven and earth-which
they will probably do-heaven when they
go up and earth when they come down"

The Pennsylvania hemIock belt en-
braces n tract probably fifty miles square,
taking in n part of Potter. Mexican,
Cameron, Forest and Elk counties. Tim
Der experts claim that this belt contains
nearly one-half the timber low standing
in the United States east of the Rocky
mountains. and to this fact is due the
establishing of several new and large
tanneries in the vicinity of Olean. Lum,
bermen estimate 10, 900 feet of lumber
and ten cords of bark to the acre in the
belt, making so, 900, 900, 900 feet of lum.

BUFFALO is at last about to have a
bank building worthy of the town and its
business prospects. w. R.. Stebbins, who
is well known here, holds the majority of
the stock in the First National banh at
Buffalo, and is so well pleased with the
prospects of the town hat he has already
bought a lot on which 10 begin the cree
ton Of the building. According to the
Echo it will be a two story building 20x70
feet in dimensions, and fitted up with
sumptuous elegance. We are pleased to
note this evidence Of confidence shown by
a shrewd capitalist like Mr.. Stebbins, and
hope that Buffalo's big boom will soon
come with a rush.

THE people of Buffalo and johnson
county generally, lave always entertained
the friendlicst feeling for our big neighbor
{, down on the Union Pacific, but they will
nevertheless remember the shameful pro
ceedings against this section brought
about by Cheyenne parties during the
last legislative session, and when the
proper time comes they will undoubtedly
pay up for the injury sought to be done
through the Legislature in order to reap
certain benefits for Cheyenne.
The foregoing silly screed from the
Buffalo Sentinel, is going the rounds of
the territorial press. 1t would be diff
cult to conceive of anything more %ill-con-
sidered or unwarranted.
Buffalo, to perhaps a greater degree
than any other town in the territory, has
had the good will of Cheyenne
and cheyenne people. Lately this
good will has been accumulated by the
great desire felt in both places Tor railroad
communication. Cheyenne is in a posi-
ton to materially aid Buffalo in this re-
spect, and whatever can be done by its
citizens, either collectively or Individually,
will be done.
We therefore submit that this exhibi-
ton of %unrcasoning rancor by the Buffalo
paper is in exceedingly bad taste, and are
pleased TO believe that it is simply an
expression of individual opinion which is
not endorsed by the substantial people OF
johnson county's metropolis.

Since total Gains in excess of two days
duration are practically unknown in the
United States it is entirely feasible to
light country houses by wind power. An
electric dynamo may be operated by
windmill and storage batteries charged
for use rs needed. 1t will probably be
found that the cost will be greater than
oil; but there is no comparison as re-
CARDS convenience and beauty, and it is
probable that the windmill will be used
as a source of power for lighting the
houses of rich country people,-Chicagc

Some years ago n committee of n GER
tain Harrisburg church set out TO find a
minister, the pulpit being vaCant. They
didn't have a very hard task, for in a
short time they bumped up against the
very nan they thought would do, and
50 reported. In due time the dominic
wa called, accepted the place and was
installed. One of the committee, in
speaking of it, said hat it was as if the
finger Of Providence had guided them in
their selection. a year or so afterward
q friend met this particular committee
man and asked him:
How is your new minister coming on?"
"Well, ~ said the committeeman, "you
can go to sleep at the beginning of his
sermon and wake up at the end with the
consciousness that nothing wrong has
been said"
The new minister didn't last over a
couple Of years.-Harrisburg Telegraph

The wild mice of southern California
have a deadly enemy in the snakes
which abound there. In order to avoid
these reptiles the shrewd old mice take
possession of the birds nests in the cactus
plants, and there rear their young. A
traveller states that he has seen an old
mouse run down the trunk of a cactus
with half a dozen young mes holding on
with their mouths to various parts of her
body. How they do this without being
injured by the cactus banks is a mystery,
for the banks are so sharp that snakes
never attempt to climb the trunks of the
lants.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

World Famous India Ink

1t was in the latter days of the Tang
dynasty that n of Li-tchao and his son.
Li-ting-Kouei, set up a mandatory of
ink in the small town of C~hu-tcheou,
which was hen surrounded by magnifi-
cent forests of fir, from which fact we
may reasonably infer that the black was
to be made from the combustion of that
wood. The father had grown old in the
business without making any particular
reputation; the son, however, brought
the processes then employed to the high
est pitch of perfection; but he kept his
methods n profound secret, and since his
time the efforts of all the makers have
been directed to producing an ink as good
as his. Yet it is allowed by connoisseurs
that nobody has yet succeeded in equal
ing his makes, especially those in shape
of n sword, and of n round cake-which
are his masterpieces.
We are told that an infallible means of
recognizing the ink of Li-ting-Kouei is to
break a piece off a cake and throw it in
water. If, in "A month, the pieces are
still Enacted upon at the bottom of the
vessel, we may be certain that they are
really authentic. This great genius made
several qualities. which are distinguished
by the characters stamped upon them.
Three are of the highest excellence, I'M
approachable by any modern; and the
fourth. which may be considered as the
ordinary article, bears his name, together
with the title conferred upon him by i'm
perial decree as a reward for the services
he had indirectly rendered to literature.
