RUSSIAN NcGATORS.


An interesting sect Of "Negators
offer to us the spectacle of another spe-
cies of religious pc>simiSm. The doe
trincs of this sect push the idea OF Nj
hitism and Of negation to the extrem-
est limit. The members lead a life
OF vagabondagc. and pass the larger
portion uf their existence in prison
Government thinks their doctrine dan
gerous to public safety, and subjects
them to the most rigorous punl,hments,
Let us take as a type Of this sect 4 GER
tain merchant named ~Shi>hkin. In hi
search for truth he four times changed
his sect, and finally became persuaded
that all religion was error and lying,
He addicted himself to the study OF
the sacred Scriptures, and thought he
perceived that they Were not in accord
with human nature. and then he came
to repudiate all ideas Of God and re-
iigiOn, as well as all human institu-
tons, all authority, government, and
society. He was promptly arrested
and imprisoned, and all his property
confiscated. He refused to justify HIM
self or to avail himslf of legal help for
his defense. persisted in his opinions,
and continued to preach in the prison.
Here is II curious specimen Of his an
swers to the Jugc dinstrWction i:
Judge - Who are you? Prisoner -
Don't you see I'm a man? Are
you blind Judge - What is your
religion? Prisoner have none.

~sectaries; there is neither right, nor
duty, MOI social or political or religious
hierarchy. Man, abandoned to his
natural instincts. without hindrance
from Government. will be irresistibly
impelled toward truth and equity.
They deny, without exception, all
rights of property, and recognize no
form of social organization. For them
marriage. the family and social duties
do not exist; they live in a fantastic
world of liberty without limit, and
despise all that surrounds them. For
example, if any n asked Shishkin for
any thing whatever he would give 1t to
him at once, only it absolutely must be
something useful-food, clothes or
money for vital needs, etc. But he
would not give a half-penny for tobac-
co, wine or such like things. Il

THE PANAMA CANAL.
An Expert Opinion upon this Colos-
sal Work.

New YoHK, June 1.-The Engineer
ing Setrs publishes this week an article
on the Actual Status Of the Panama
Canal giving results of recent ex-
pert examination of the entire length
OF the canal, and accompanied by a
progress profile showing the amount
OF work done and undone to January
LIST of the present year, both for the
sea level and lock canal. The profile
shows that the only work that is any
where near completion is about eleven
miles of dredging on the Atlantic end
about mile on the Pacific end.
On the remainder of the work the
proportion done is very small in COM
parison with that undone. The esti-
mate given in connection with this
profile shows n total 34,09l 900 cubic
metres remaining without allowing for
the changes of river channels, gam
boadam, etc, which raises the aggre-
gate to 81 900 900 ctibic metres. The
company had admitted 20 .0D,0 to
~, 0pD 600 metres. At the highest rate
vet reached OF l,0pb,Opo cubic metres
per month, il is estimated that at least
Tour years viii I've necessary to finish
the canal, II there is no lack OF money.
The total amount of cash actually
expended up TO the present date is
SIT ,yio. 90 of securities. The amount
necessary to be raised to complete the
canal il estimated by the Engineering
Nsrs at minimum of $500. 000. go,
which would be represented by at least
$50, o0o, 600 OF new securities.
The article declares that the pro-
gress profile makes it evident that not
onc-tenth of the work nor one-twen-
tieth OF the money has yet been spent
which would be required to open sea
level canal, which Lesseps declared
last November would be opened Feb
ruary, 1850. Therefore we can only
escape from the conclusion that the
impossihility Of completing 4 sen level
canal has been known for three or
four years at least be assuming eoios-
sa, ignorance. either Of whiclTis equally

THE examination of Wenzel Senefeldt
was again postponed on Monday last, the
girls condition not being so favorable as
for some time previous. Since then she
has been doing quite well and DR.. Luh-
man is now reasonably certain of her
complete recovery.
Every one now believes that she knows
who shot her and that she wiIfully con-
ceals the matter either from motives Of
fear or other considerations. A closer
examination of the place where she claims
the deed was committed leads to the con-
vlctiOn that no person could there secrete
himself and escape observation. Many
persons IN the neighborhood incline to
the belief that the shooting occurred else
where and that the facts are known to
others than to the girl and the person
who did the shooting. The more closely
the affair is investigated the less Sene-
feldt's guilt appears. Every means pos
sible to make the girl confess her knowI-
edge of the affair have been employed,
but without avail. Judging from rumors
afoat in the neighborhood Of the shoot
ing, suspicion might reasonably attach
to others than Senefeldt, and it is pos
sible the officers are working ont other
theories. The case is involved in mys-
terry which it is certain the girl can re-
move if she chooses, and perhaps will in
time

THE lawyers have enjoyed the

and he soiemnly declares that he never

years ago we put Charley Felker in as

menading up and down the court room,
land he made a blankety blank good one.
He found they weren't teaching blank
thing about reading, writing and cipher
ing, nothing but mental philosophy an,

he continued: Il had young graduate

note running from February to May and

HOW STUPID

If one always knew ia advance that
which he does not know, great many
things would turn ont just the reverse
Of what actually happens. 1t takes some
people the greater part of their lives to
learn to know that they don't know much.
For instance, we didn't even know that
this spring would turn out to be such a
cold, damp, raw, windy, miserable, disa-
greeable season; but thought that be-
cause the weather Of the two preceding
springs was so delightful, it would GER
tainly be as bright and warm now, and
here is where our stupidity caused US to
be badly disappointed, for we bought
as it now appears-too many parasols
when we should have had fur wraps in
stead, and in order to partially make
good this blunder and to reduce our
enormous stock Of these goods, we have
marked down the entire stock.

SHEBoYGAN gets from the proceeds of
dog tax the sum of $3.50. Manitowoc
does not get that much, though it can
wipe the floor" with Sheboygan on the
number of dogs. Manitowoc can beat
the world on dogs. We can also beat
Sheboygan on saloons. The saloon license
in Sheboygan amounts to S9,475; in Man
itowoc it reaches the magnificent proper
tons of $4,000. The population of She
boygan is more than double that Of Man
itowoc, but we can support more dogs
and saloons. And yet there are people
who insist Sheboygan is bounding away
from us.

NILLoTT & Sons have been making a
speciality of manufacturing axes. This
year they began the work of manufactur-
ing knives for feed cutters, and manu-
featured an article Of such excellence
that they are flooded with orders to such
an extent that they have been compelled
to discontinue the manufacture of axes
at present. They have the following
orders for knives: Smalley Manufacture

large order. The city should appoint
a committee to wait upon "the boys" and
ask them to enlarge. Their work is all
the advertising they need.
