THF RUSSIAN TREATY.

The text Of the Russian treaty, OF
which 30 much has been said in the
newspapers. is published. It pro.
yides for the surrender of persons
convicted Of or charged with murder,
manslaughter, rape, abortion, arson,
burglary, robbery, larceny, when the
velue Of the property stolen shall ex-
coed $500, forgery, counterfeiting,
embezzlement, either by public or
private persons, piraov, mutiny, and
the wilful or unlawful obstruction of
railroads, when human life is en-
dangered. ..'..E.
The third article OF the treaty pro-
vides that il it he made to appear
that extradition is sought with ~
view TO try or punish the person de-
manded for an offense Of q political
character, surrender shall not take
place, nor shall any person surren-
dered be tried or punished for any po-
1itical offense committed previously
to his extradition, nor for any offense
other than that for which the extra
dition was granted, nor shall the
surrender OF any person be demanded
for an offense committed previous to
the date at which the treaty takes
effect,
There is nothing in this treaty says
the Reno Journal, to which any per-
sop. deserving the protection of the
United States or worthy of American
citizenship, can reasonably object.
1t provides for the extradition of
those charged with Infamous crimes
only and does not affect political Of
fenderB, who come to the United
States. A Pole or a Russian, who
may have advocated revolution and
the overthrow of despotism in the
Cars Dominions cannot be surren-
dered to the Russian authorities
under the treaty which now only
awaits PRONUNCIATION by the President
to become law Of the land.

ROBERT LATTER. other orders of ami
mails one of the first atrocities TO go
by the board was the long and unkept
beard. Perhaps it was recorded theo-
logically thus: The Lord gave him his
mouth, and his jaw, and his chin,
which are recognized as great eXposi-
tons of character. If in infinite
mercy he gave him beard it was to
be used with discretion, and for such
eXcusable purposes as have been cited.
AS soon as this holy and sensible view
prevailed men began to use scissors
and razor. and have been using them
assiduously ever since.
1t is not essential to the purpose to
go over the ground travelled by the
students of beard lore to show that
where civilization has reached its
highest type the beard has fallen into
disrepute. The fact that certain dis
tinguished men of modern times have
chosen to wear boards like goats ar
CUES nothing more than that they were
indifferent or lazy, or imagined they
presented a more distinguished APP
pearance, which was not likely to be
true. Yet, there are cases-not a few
of them-where men have worn ridi-
culously long boards, not merely
because they made an ldiotic VOW not
to shave until Henry Clay be anne
President, but because they gloried in
being sort of Sutherland brother, as
it were, and enjoyed the attraction
that multitude always bestows on
freaks.

grow, and knowing that public senti-

sweep through his whislsers. Whether
