nuss,an Customs Laws.

Our st. Petersburg correspondent
cends us curious story of the operation
of the customs laws in Russia. 1t ap-
pears that the British and American
Congregational church, to celebrate the
jubilee OF its foundation, resolved on
getting q new organ, and at the expense
of $500 obtained from London an in
strument which duly arrived at Cron-
stadt. But here the difficulties began
There were forty cases, and these hap
pened to come in two ships-thirty-two
in one and eight in another. Church
organs are practically unknown in Rus
aa, where church music Is entirely vo
cal.
The only instrument known CORE
spending to the organ is one which Is
found in every traiteer, or tea house,
and is of the nature of a musical box
with few pipes.
The custom house officials claimed the
duty on six organs, saying there were
pipes enough for so many. After long
negotiations the organ was allowed to
pass through under protest, and is now
being erected under the supervision of
the custom house authorities. Two Off
Gals with swords are on duty ut the
door, and watch every one going out to
see that he does not take an organ with
him. During divine service the guards
take an occasional peep to see that every
thing is above board.-London News.
