Red Tape in Russia.

From an illustrated article by George
Kennan, entitled Exile by Admins
trative Process" in the Century, we
quote as follows: "How easy it is in
Russia to get high officials signature
to any sort of document may be illus
trated by an anecdote that | have every
reason to believe is absolutely true. A
'stola-nachalnik,' or head of bureau,
in the provincial administration of To-
bolsk, while boasting one day about
his power to shape aud direct govern
mental action, made wager with an
other chinovnik that he could get the
governor of the province-the late
Governor Lissogorski-to sign q man.
uscript copy of tho Lords Prayer. He
wrote the prayer out in the form of an
official document on sheet of stamped
paper, numbered it, attached the prop
er seal to it. and handed it to the gov
ernor with n pile of otherpapers which
required signature. He won his wager.
The governor duly signed the Lord s
Prayer, and it was probably as harm
less an official document as ever came
out of his Office

Pen.Fowls at Home.


These birds of brilliant plumage run
wild in the Indian junglos, strut freely
about the rice fields, and frequent the
sacred trees along the Grand Trunk
road. Those that frequent the Grand
Trunk road and stroll about in the vi
cinity Of the villages, are almost as
tame and fearless in the presence of
man rs the domesticated ones that so
proudly strut about the lawn of an
American couutry-house.
The reason for their tameness Is
found in the fact that they also, in
common with many things in both the
animal aud vegetable Kingdoms, are
held sacred by the llindoos. The ma
tives never hunt, frighton, nor molest
the peacocks in any way, because they
are held sacred to their war-gOd Kar-
tikeya. In NEUROLOGICAL times, when
the gods made war upon each other,
this deity, tho "God of War. and Gem
eralissimo of the Armies of the Gods" :"
was believed to ride to battle upon n
peacock. In consequence of this tra-
dition, the pious Hindoo thinks it sac
rilego to harm the martial fowl, or in
any way to show it disrespect.
The Rajput warriors used to go to
war wearing peacock feathers in their
trbans, and even now they believe
that these fowls scream when they
hear thunder, because the noise is mis-
taken for the din of battle. 1t was to
me a pretty sight to see these brilliant
plumaged birds stalking about ON the
Grand Trunk road, half-tame in their
sacred security from molestation. As
they strutted proudly about, or stood
still and spread tlieir gorgeous tails, il
seemed to mo tit and proper that such
bright ornaments of the jungle should
be protected from wanton violence at
the hands of man.
In certain districts the British gov
ernment has made laws forbidding the
shooting of pea-fowls by Euglsh hunt
ing-parties. or by soldiers from the
garrisons. This is done from the re-
spect that the government always de-
sires to show to the religious preiudices
of the natives. In other provinces,
however, the natives, while they re-
frain from molesting the sacred fowls
themselves, offer no objections to the
shooting of them by English sports
men.
Where there are no native prejudices
to be consulted, the government rather
encourages the sport than otherwise.
The officers and soldiers of the garri-
sons are usually keen sportsmen, and
every facility is granted them for pea
fowl hunting, because the sport is con-
sidered excellent training in the use of
| firearms. The true Anglo-Indian
sportsman scorns to shoot pea-fowl
with anything but rifle, because, with
a shotgun, the sport is little else
than mere slaughter. With a rifle,
however, the killing becomes matter
of skill, and soldiers who spend good
share of their time in shooting at fly
ing peacocks with their rifles, would
be sure to acquit themselves all the
more creditably as sharp-shooters on
the field of battle. Thomas Stevens, in

Knew the Place.

A bright Philadelphia child has many
relatives in Pittsburg, and her little
ears had taken in so many expressions
about the place that her ideas regard
ing its general appearance were clear
ly defined if not correct. A few days
ago she started with her mother on a
long expected visit to the Smoky City,
whieh,in spite of reports to the contra
ry, is but little less blacker than of
yore. As the train sped on hour after
hour the little one became more and
more sure that they must be getting
very near their destination, and at last
asked for the fortieth time, Mamma,
isn't we most therePn
"Oh, guess it is not much further. "
answered her mother wearily and with
little heed to the exact truth. For
another half hour the cars rumbled
along and then suddenly dashed into a
tunnel to the great delight of the little
one, who joyously exclaimed, "Oh,
mamma, get my things; this is Pitts
burg. ~ PhtladctDhia Record.

THE President goes to Deer Park,
and Corporal Tanner remains in the
Pension Office. This will be gall and
wormwood to the Ishmaelites of the
Democratic and Mugwump press, who
entered into the conspiracy to drive
Tanner out of Office because he has
accorded the Union soldiers different
treatment from that which they re.
oeived at the hands of Cleveland and
Black. But Tanner can stand it, and
the Presidents comfort does not ap.
pear to be affected by it, The motive
that prompted the conspiracy can be
readily guessed from the sneer Of one
of the most malignant of the newspa.
per critics, that during the war We
were assured that patriotism and love
of country were the inspiring motives
that filled the Union armies, and now
the country is assured that it was all
Doodle and not patriotism. This
sneering skulker, who, when there was
danger at the front, took good care to
keep his worthless carcass out of the
reach of the rebel bullet, is unmindful
of the fact that the expectation oi
"boodle" could not have been a very
lively one in the minds or hearts oi
the Union soldier at time when il
was with great difficulty that the Gov.
ernment raised the money to pay him
the beggarly SO a month-this being
the amount which he received during
the first part of the war.-HarrisburS

In was not necessary for Secretary
Blaine to deny the New York Herald
story that he is about to resign from
the Cabinet, The source of the yarn
was sufficient for every Republican to
Immediately brand IL as lie. The
Herald never had a good word for the
man from Maine, and it has endeav.
ored TO get as far away from the truth
as possible when referring to him.
Mr.. Blaine says he has not resigned
and be is going to remain in the Csbi
net, aud in saying that much he gives
the Herald lie a prominence it does
not deserve. The story, while it last
ed, filled the Democratic press with
glee, and was a sweet morsel for the
average Democratic editor. This,
however, is not good year for the
Democracy to make capital, and they
seem to realize it.

Won Moltke's Successor.


"The successor of General Won
Moltke, Count Waldersce," said n man
who saw Il lot of things on the other
side of the water last winter, lis about
as easy-going and complacent n person
as ever saw. He was on big field
back of Charlottenburg Palace when a
review of the troops was held in honor
of Queen Victoria, of England, last
spring, on the occasion of her visit to
her dying son-in-law, Frederick of
Germany. There were two cmpresses,
several crown princes, and a bevy Of
royal princesSes on the field that day,
and the display of royalty was so tre-
mendous that the officers were literally
abashed. Over them all glowered the
surly and obseryant eyes of the COM
ing Emperor, as he rode by the carriage
that bore the two empresses. Walder-
see arrived late. He is a magnificent
looking soldier, but his manner is more
notable than his appearance. He sat
a fiery chestnut like centaur. The
devil semed TO be in the horses legs.
He seemed to Jump in five directions at
once, but the General was apparently
as comfortable in the saddle as though
he had been sunk in seaside ham
mock. He kept up running fire of
comment as he rode about in tho royal
group, and he seemed in especial de-
mand among the royal sisters of the
present emperor. He laughed and
joked with tsem with the air of the
best comrade in the world, and when
ever he rode away to talk to some one
else the royal princesses looked at him
thalf-longingly, which is something that
royal princesses very seldom do."-
