The rather surprising bit of news
that the Office Of the Russian Consul
General in New York is besieged by
Russian Hebrews askingto be returned
to TIE dominion of the Car should not
be understood as discrediting in the
least the famine tidings that come from
that unhappy land. The explanation,
as given by the Consul General. is that
there is no famine in the Province to
which the Hebrews are restricted.
Their exodus to this country was in
spired by mistaken notion that they
were entitled to share in the Hirsch
fund, and, having found out their mis-
take, they are anxious to return. How
ever that may be, it is certain that one
effect Of the present homeward fight
will be to put a check to the further
migration of Russian Hebrews.

Some men are born careless and
others have carelessness thrust upon
them, but of all the careless men under
the sun that paying teller Of q New Or
leans bank who paid out Of $i94, 900 Of
the banks fund by mistake, beginning
in 1873 and concluding this year, when
he was arrested for enlightenment, is
certainly the chief. Evidently, how
ever, life moves on in such happy
go-lucky manner in the town Of the
lottery that this carelessness was not
considered remarkable, for the jury
believed and acquitted him. In
Louisiana it would seem that the cd
saying should be changed into the new
