On the Best Authority.
lHasper's Magosine.1

A story is told of a trial for burglary in
which of the jurymen seemed to be so
certain of the prisoners innocence, and pleaded
for him so eioqnen,iy and conyincingly, that
the IL others (who had no particular bias either
way allowed themselves to be argued into re-
turning verdict OF mot guilty" few days
later fresh facts came to light. which proved
the accused mans innocence beyond doubt;
and one of the II wavering jurymen, happen.

for having saved them from the commission of
great injustice

"you could not have known then anything
about these new facts, so how could you be SO
sure that the man was innocent?"
well" replied the other, my chief reason
for thinking that he did not commit the crime
was that ] committed it myself"
Such authority was certainly not TO be dis
puied; but yet more startling case Of the same
KIND occurred not many years ago in Paris, at
the first representation OF a tragedy that had
for its closing scene the murder of Swedish
king, which had taken place nearly half cen.
tury earlier. All went well till the murder scene
came on, when very dignfed old gentleman
in the stage box showed signs of strong dissats-
faction. and at length called out, angriIy:
Absurd they've got it all wrong"
The manager himself heard this plain spoken
comment, and being naturally disturbed by so
sweeping a condemnation, he sought out the
critic, and politely begged to know what fault
he had to find with it.
"Why, my good SIR" cried the old man, with
an air of authority, " the whole grouping OF the
scene is incorrect. You have made them kill
the king to the right of the door, whereas we
murdered him Oh the left"

vessel came right into the heart of the gold
regions of Siberia.
Along this river Yenissei are some of the
richest wheat growing regions of the world,
and when transportation facilities are given
the country America will find considerable
competition in Siberia The gold regions have
never been prospected. There are mountains
of quartz which cannot be opened up until there
is some means of transporting machinery to
them. and so far the chief mining in Siberia has
been that of the rudest methods. great deal
of gold is found along tho Yenissei, and there
are gold regions along the Obi. The Amoor is
rich in minerals, and Siberia is said to have
regions filled with diamonds and precious
stones. My business is buying precious stones,
and sell great many turquoises, and now
and then some very fair rubies; but no one
knows just what the country has, and, as l
have ssid it is thoroughly undeveioped and
unprospected.
"Tbe towns are small and the biggest of them,
Irkutsk, has only 30, 900 people, Omsk has only
10000, and there are perhaps half dozen
which range from this down to 10000. There
are four towns of 10000 people. and the re-
mainder are villages. New towns will rapidly
spring up with the building of the railroad.
and you will find that tens of thousands of
people will leave Russia and go to Siberia. As
it is the famine has driven great many there,
and the cholera will increase this number.
The most of those emigrants come to Tomsk,
and they are taking up some of the best lands
Of the country"

that by relay, as it were, of huge flashlights

message can be flashed across tho continent

they returned from Siberia were very careful
not to say anything about their treatment
there. One exile in every six of this kind take

saw on the great Black Plain of Russia q
number of prison cars filed with convicts and
exiles. which they were carrying to the Noiga
to be shipped from thence up the river
Kama to Siberia. The men were clad in coarse
gray ove:coats with diamonds of yellow cloth
on their backs, and the heads of some of the
men were shaved. Some of the worst charac-
tiers had chains upon their legs, and some were
handcuffed together. They were of all classes.
and they seemed to come from all parts of
Russia. Not few of them had their families
with them, and there were quite number OF
women among the convicts. They sat on
rough seats in the ordinary third class cars.
and these cars had iron bars across their win
dows. Each car had troop of soldiers to
guard 1t, and during p rest at a station. in
which some of the prisoners were taken out of
tho cars to rest their legs, succeeded in getting

ment on the Volga for the carrying of prisoners,
and the prisoners are first taken to Tiumen and
from here they are distributed over Siberia.
About $4,000 pass through this town every
year, and the prison there is one of the worst
in Siberia. George KEENAN, says it was origi-
nally built to hold 500 prisoners, but that it
contained 1,741 on the day of his visit. The
prison at Tomsk is quite as bad. 1t was built

A prison report lately published shows that
the typhus fever exists hero all the year round
and during the cholera on the Voga it may be
that some of these prisoners will carry this
terrible disease into the Siberian prisons. At
Tomsk the Surgeon stated that 2,400 cases of
sickness occurred during recent year, and
that more than % per cent. Of the whole popu-
lation Of this prison were constantly SICK
Should the cholera break ont among these
prisoners, and il is hard to see how they can
escape it on the Volga, they would die by the
hundreds.
The convict barges are generally crowded,
and tho prisoners which / saw were being car
red to Sara.oA. which is the very center of the
cholera regions how, and they will be carried
from thence up past Samara. where the
cholera also exists, and on to Kazan, which is
also infected with this disease. In going from
Tiumen to Tomsk they will be taken in con-
Wet barges and it is hard to see how they can
help spreading the cholera over Siberia. Their
food is by means Of the best and their ac-
commodations such that q single cholera
case cannot but infect the whole boat-load of
prisoners. IN the meantime the cholera seems
to be increasing the Volga, and no one
knows how soon it may be here at st.
Petersburg on its way to the other countries of
Europe.
