THE RUSSIAN FAMINE.

It is impossible to tell just what is the condition of affairs in the famine district of Russia, but it appears that the seven- teen provinces that have suffered most from famine have at length accumulated, by purchases from the more favorably sit uated districts, sufficient stocks of grain to keep their inhabitants alive for. few months longer. These seventeen provinces are now said to hold altogether about 23,- 900, 900 poods of grain. The pood is three ffths of a bushel, and the entire stock. therefore, nearly 14,O0O, 900 bushels. The cost of providing against the famine amounts up to the present to 123, ,020, 800 roubles, or about s63, 1000, ,0OO. AS the mean monthly consumption of these pro- vinces is reckoned at 9,922, ,0O0 poods, or nearly 6,000,000 bushels, it is clear that the total stock required for feeding the people during the four months from March to June, with which month the cereal year for these provinces ends, will be at least 36, 68S, ,O00 poeds, or about 22, ,000, ,000 bushels. Assuming the return of the cAlSbluR bLOCh LO Uo COTTSCt, tu6T6 IS u deficit of at least 1885, ,0O0 poods. It is hoped to supply this from the 16,000. 900 poods known to exist in Siberia, and the heavy hoards of grain that are believed to
 be hidden in one corner or another of the empire.
 But in spite of all that has been or will be done both by government and private agencies there will be much more suffering. While the grain still in the
 country may suffice under proper system of governmental relief to keep the peas antry from starvation until the new crop
 is harvested, the very serious questions presented are: How have the impover- l ished peasants secured the grain neces. I sary to seed their fields; how will they be
 able to reap the harvest, having in thei, poverty been compelled to dispose of
 their horsefesh and agricultural imple.
 ments to save themselves from starvation
 Even under the most favorable conditions
 it does not seem probable that large crol 1 can be gathered this year.

A GOOD START,

The Republican campaign in this State was we'll started yesterday in the conven- ton at Hartford. The speeches were in- spiring, the enthusiasm glowing, and all the proceedings harmonious.
 The platform is not as long as such documents sometimes are, but it is full of meat. It heartily endorses the adminis- tration of President Harrison as having won imperishable honor and the lasting gratitude of the republic. It asserts be- lief in the principle of protection which has "given to this country greater pros perity than is known to any other nation" |" It favors such legislation as will prohibit the immigration of paupers and criminals. It asserts the undying gratitude of the Republican party to the American volun- teer soldiers, and claims for men whom they made freemen equal rights and equal protection in those rights. It commends the Republican party for it's financial policy. It approves the action of the State house of representatives and con
  And it says concerning Governor Bulkeley: We endorse the administration of State affairs by Governor Morgan G. Bulkeley and the Republican State off, cers associated with him for it's courage, ability and economy, and we especially commend the frmness which has success fully resisted the unlawful attempt of the Democratic party to seize the State gov ernment, in defiance of the State constitu- tion as interpreted by our highest court. We further extend the thanks of the Re- publican party to Governor Bulkeley for his successful efforts to provide for the prompt payment of every obligation of the State.
 The delegates were, very properly, not 'instructed." The men chosen can be trusted to act for the best interests of the party, and it was wise to leave them free to exercise their judgment.

Great Pfanists Compared William Macon iu the CAutury.l


 Rubinstein is even more fond, lander and caressing in his playing of Bach, bringing out all imaginable beautiful shades of tone-oolor in his rendering of those works. And why should this be otherwise, since Bach's competitions are so full of exquisite melody. Surely such emotional strains should receive . loving and musical rendering. As Nosehelss played Bach half century ago, and e Rubinstein played him later on, % does Paderewski play him now-with an added grace and color which put these great contrapuntal creations in the most charm ing frames It is great. deep musical play ing combined with calm, quiet repose and great breadth of style. PAderewsh has an advantage over Rubinstein, however, in the fact that he Is always master of his resources and possesses power of complete self-control. This remarkably symmetri- cal balance is entirely temperamental, and may be discerned in the we'll shaped con- tour of Paderewski's head, his steady gaze and his supreme commsnd of the econo- mics of movement. In Rubinstein there is an excess of the emotional, and while at times he reaches the highest possible standard, his impulsive nature and lack of self-restraint are continually in his way, frequently causing him to run ahead with such impetuosity as to anticipate his cli- max, and having no reserve force to call into action, disaster is sure to follow. He does not economize his strength to good advantage, but uses up his power too soon. Comparisons are not always profitable, but may be permitted in mild form on account of the construction they convey. Thus, of five prominent pianists, in Liszt we find the intellectual emotional tenpera- ment, while Rubinstein has the emotional in such excess that he is rarely able to bridle his impetuosity. Psderswsh may be classified as emotional-intellectual very rare and happy blending of the two temperaments-and Tausig was very much upon the same plane, while Won Bulow has but little of the emotional, and side. There must always be two general classes of pianists-those whose interpre- tation changes with every mood, while the playing always remains poetic, fervent, ar tistic and inspired, because it is impossi- ble for them to do violence to the musical nature which they have received by the grace of God, and others whose playing lacks warmth and abandon, notwithstand- ing the fact that it is careful, conscientious, artistic and in the highest degree finished The performances of the latter are invari- able uniform, and are exact to such a de- gree that one can appreciate with great &C., curacy each accent, emphasis, nuance and turning of phrase from beginning to end. Of these classes Rubinstein and Bulow present good illustrations in contrast.

The Worlds First Fishes.

lfrom tno "aShington St&r.l
 A collection of the oldest fishes of the world is being prepared for exhibition at the National Museum. They were dug ont of the rocks recently at Canyon City, Col Great scientific interest has been aroused by the discovery, because they are thou sands of years more ancient than any crea- lures with backbones ever found before. They come from the sedimentary deposits laid down by water in the distant epoch called the siluriau. No vertebrate ami malls had been obtained previously below the upper silurian. These are from the lower silurian, and some notion of the diff ference of time may be got from the fact that the two "horizons" are separated in the Appalachian region by twenty thou sand feet of sediment.
 Where these fishes were found was once sand beach on the western shore of 6 vast interior sea, which extended east wards from the Rocky Mountains, and covered a large part of the continent Geoiogists, wandering through that re- zion so prolific of treasures in the shape of fossils, came upon the deposits acci- dentally. The line of the ancient beach is still visible, although it Is overlaid by sed- imentary rocks of subsequent formation They made excavations with pickaxe and blast, getting out great quantity of ma terial, which was brought to Washington. Thirty millions of years have perhaps elapsed since the creatures thus dug out were living It must have been 6 strange world in which they had their being SO far back in the night of time. Even the reptiles which fiourished and attained such gigantic dimensions at later period did not yet exist. The only vertebratss were | fishes.
 These fishes of the lower silurian were all small-the diminutive types of the great fishes which swarmed in tho waters during a later period, which has been called the age of fishes. They were clad in armor, being covered with plates oi bone instead of scales. The skeletons were composed wholly of cartilage, like those of the sharks of to- day, which them. selves represent an enormously ancient fnny pattern. Under the microscope it is possible to see the structure of the bone which composed the plates. In similar armor was the huge and ferocious dinich, thys, as we'll as other marine monsters oi @ subsequent epoch, dressed.
