WASHINGTON, January 26.-Civil Ser
vice Commissioner Roosevelt has submitted
to the full commission a report of his recent
investigation into the alleged violations OF
the civil service law in the New York
Custom House just prior to the last Presi-
dental election. Upon the subject OF the
collection of political assessments during
that campaign, Mr.. Roosevelt says:
The law prohibiting political assessments OF
any kind OF the collection thereof in any man
ner or under any disguise, is sweeping ana
thorough in its provisions Up to 1882 these
collections were made perfectly openly, the
employees being publicly notified how much
they were to pay, when it was to be paid, and at
what place.

This was accomplished by q very ingenious
and widespread system Of veiled threats and
covert intimidation, SO well carried out that it
was completely successful, the extent of sue
cess being shown by the fact that all, even the
most unwilling of the clerks whom examined
were in the end forced to pay. Every meth cd
was resorted to to extort the contributions
while at the same time avoiding the actual de-
maud of money.
For instance, some of the witnesses were

VENICE, June 25.-We find an unex-

Venice. Little narrow Sits of streets

not often get his fingers down into them.

streets, and they are utterly bewildeTing
because just when you get where you
want to go you come plump

the time you have found bridge

/ went what seemed the proper distance
along busy little ST. Moire, crossed
bridge or two, then committed myself TO
q small thread of lane heading toward
the canal. Il brought me within one door.
Looking up the canal, saw just where it
was; the next turning would bring me
down right; so l went back and took the
next turning, which was exactly right,
only l had come down on the wrong side
of Il canal. So 1 went back again after

How Deer Act in a Snow Storm.

From a gentleman recently down from
the mountains, the Marysyille, Cal, 1p
peal learns of the strange experiences OF
various sorts of wild animals during the
winter. "Deer, when caught in binding
snow storm, huddle together and tramp
round and round in circle, beating down
the soft snow, so that when very heavy
fall occurs during say twelve hours, they
find themselves in snow pen, with walls
above them; and if they commence to
tramp on top OF several feet of snow dur
ing storm, they often find themselves in
n corral Of snow, with wall surrounding
them to a height Of ten or twelve feet when
the storm clears off, being virtually inn
prisoned in snowy prison pen, from which
escape is impossible until the spring thaw
of the season.
There lives an old miner on Canon
Creek, in Sierra County, several miles
above Brandy City, who was taking a
stroll near his cabin last winter after one
of the heavy SHOWS, when he came across
one of these deer pens in the snow, and
there imprisoned were seventeen deer of
various sizes. They were in circular pen
of snow, with walls fifteen feet high. Upon
the mans appearance the deer became
quite excited, and huddled together and
lodged from one side of the pen to the
other. However, as hunger came upon
them they became more docile, and the
frequent visits of the miner, with boughS
and buds from adjoining trees, which he
threw into the pen as food, caused the deer
to become regular pets, and to watch for
the visits Of their protector. After while
the man placed q ladder in the pit, and
spent great deal Of time in handling his
pets. Occasionally he would take one out
for food, as meat became scarce, and in
this way used several of the deer, but he
had most of the deer yet in state Of
ranoh in his mountain home, much after
the fashion of cattle ranch on a small
scale"
The 1ppcdl is also informed that a sim.
liar band of deer was found in one of those
deadly snow pits near Washington, Nevada
County, and was likewise rescued. The
streets of Downieville were enlivened last
winter by the appearance OF deer which
were driven from the mountains down TO
the river towns by starvation, and domestic
ated by kindness and food. AS the snow
has been disappearing many carcasses of
deer have been found where they have
perishcd in the deadly snow corral. The
heavy and sudden SHOWS of the past winter
have caused fearful mortality among the
deer which did not to escape tho lower
