OUR DEBT TO RUSSIA.
What the United States Owes to the
House of Romanof.


That we are under tremendous OBJ
legations to the House of Romanoff is
recognized by every American who
knows the history Of this country,
says the New York Sun. Whatever
may have been the motive which led
Catherine III. to join the so-called
league OF neutrals, the result of the
act was to complete the discourage
ment Of the British Ministers, to
break the stubborn will of George
Ill, and to compel the acknowledge
ment OF american independence.
Whatever, again, may have been the
purpose controlling the mind of
Alexander |. when, Drawing the anger
Of Napoleon, he refused to enforce
the Berlin DEGREES against the Amer
lean vessels thronging the Baltic
ports, there is no doubt that he res
cued from ruin our commerce. We
accepted redemption at his hands; we
profted by his protection, and it be-
hooves us to remember it.
The services of the House of Ro-
manoff to the American Republic
eliminated In the stand taken in our
behalf by Alexander III. at crisis
when our national existence was at
stake, the French Emperor having
put forth all his influence at West
minister to persuade the British Gov
ernment to join him in intervening
on the side of the Southern Confed-
eracy. Then it was that the Gear
who freed the Russian serfs caused
his ambassadors at Paris and London
to announce that IL France and En-
gland undertook to assure the de-
struction Of the American Union and
to perpetuate the regime of slavery
In the Western Hemisphere, they
would find Russia arrayed against
them. Nor was the friendly inter-
position of Alexander Ii. confined to
words simultaneously with the ut
terance of diplomatic warnings a
Russian fleet was directed to proceed
under sealed orders to the harbor of
New York, and Russian squadron
was dispatched to the Bay of San
Francisco. For US, for the American
republic, for the consolidation of our
Union, the Gar made known his will.
ingness to fight; and there is not the
shadow Of doubt that his willing
ness averted catastrophe.

Bits of News.

An English teacher, Miss A. G.
Graham, has taken prize offered by
the University Correspondent for the
best collection Of pupils blunders.
She youches for them all as literal
copies of the originals, and explains
that she was led to set about their
collection by reading one day the sur
prising statement that "Ilaied and
Odessae translated Euripides." We
give a few OF the choicest gems OF
her collection, In some of which the
outcropping Of the English idea that
all history c0nverges on the British
Isles Is almost startling:

Water Cats.

Though 1t seems somewhat difficult
to understand how the sportsmen of
the Nile trained their cats not only
to hunt game but to retrieve it from
the water, the hunting scenes de-
picted on the walls Of ThebeS afford
proof of the Egyptian cats service in
this respect.
In one Of these presentations
puss is depicted in he act of seizing
a bird that has been brought down by
the marksman in the boat; while in
the other scene the cats are seen in
the boat ready for their work.
Thus it appears from these ancient
illustrations of field and other sports,
that the Egyptians were able to train
their domestic cats to act in the same
way as our modern retriever dogs do.
1t is generally supposed that moth
ing will induce cat to enter water,
but this is clearly fallacy, like
many other popular notions about the
animal world. The tiger is an excel
lent swimmer, as many have found to
their cost; and so the cat, another
member Of the tiger family, can swim
equally well If it has any occasion to
exert its powers, either in quest of
prey or to effect its escape from some
enemy.
AS cats are exceedingly fond of
fish, they will often drag them alive
out of their native element whenever
they get chance
They have even been known to
help themselves out of aquaria that
have been left uncovered, and on
moonlight nights they may be seen
watching for the unwary occupants
of f1sh-pond, during the spawning
season especially.
Again, cat will take the water in
pursuit Of rata fact that was
proved by friend of mine few years
ago.
On one occasion, being accompa-
MED by one of his pets, a rat was
started, which the cat not only pur-
sued but chased into the water close
by, eventually swimming to an island
some little distance from the bank,
where it remained a short time and
then swan back again.

A GOOD MANS ANGER.

Attitude During the War.

Attitude During the War.
But especially toward Great Britain
Mr.. Sumner felt his strongest, posi-
bly, his most bitter, resentment.
Reared in the study Of her history,
filed with respectful admiration for
her great men, learned in all the de-
tails Of her constitutional existence.
sincere follower of the liberal school
from which her greater glories
spring, and, so to speak, enamored of
those abolitionists who, long before
his day, had trodden the path upon
which he had walked unflinchingly,
Mr.. Sumner, it may be said, felt, as
regards that nation, which had we'll
nigh openly declared its hostility of
the Union's cause, sentiment of love
betrayed.
How was it possible that Lord Rus
sell, the impregnable bulwark of the
abolitionist cause in England, had be-
come in 1862 an opponent of Ameri-
can abolitionists? 1t was always
with bitter sadness, though never
angrily, that Mr.. Sumner expressed
himself regarding the existing rela-
tions between the United States and
Great Britain. To his mind that ma
tion was guilty of a great moral
wrong, and owed those who had suf-
fered therefrom a manifest atone
ment.
Such was the feeling which inspired
his speeches, at times cloquently pas
sionate, on the existing intercourse
between the two Anglo-Saxon nations.
On reading them one can readily I'M
derstand what explosions such fiery
words would provoke on the other
side of the Atlantic. A challenge of
war was thought to be concealed I'M
der them. The orator was even ac-
cused of exciting the worst of feel
ings and of appealing to the darkest
of hatreds. But In all this English
public opinion was mistaken. Mr..
Sumner only considered that Lord
Palmerston, Lord Russell and their
colleagues had wronged the United
States, and it was by appealing to
higher sentiments that he demanded
justice Of their successors.

Here is an amusing and strictly

A party of peasants who had been
cutting wood in forest near Disna,
and had spent all their earnings on

"Well, brethren" said one of the
party, tive are lot of bad fellows
While every honest man works to lay

"We are lot Of bad fellows, in

Let us punish ourselves for our
waywardness, suggested an elderly
peasant; "let us each inhiet upon the
other twenty-five blows"
The whole party assented again.
They cut sticks, and began execut-

VERY BIG FICUREs-
Aillions Spent for Bicycles by the Peon,.
of This Country.

Since the bicycle craze began the
people of this country have Invested
more than 100000 in wheels.
Unfortunately exact figures are not
to be had, for the census does not
enumerate bicycles as it does horses
and sheep, and Indians not taxed.
This sum represents about 300, 900
machines and gives one bicycle to
every 200 persons throughout the
country.
In New York City alone, it is COM
puted, there are 40, 900 wheels in use.
There is every indication that this is
largely under the actual number.
These 1000 wheels cost originally
So, 900, 900, and the stocks on hand
and investments in manufacturing
and repairing machinery in the city
are given at 81 900, 900 more, making
the total investment for bicycles in
that city alone 5000, 900. With a
population of 1,700, 900 and 10000
wheels in use the average in New
York City is one bicycle to every 424
persons.
A prominent bicycle dealer said
recently that he sold $4,000 wheels
at the New York office last year, and
that the number will reach 25. 600
this year. This is an average of more
than SO machines for every working
day for one maker alone. These ma
chimes do not, of course, all stay in
the city. Even of those that are not
shipped, but are taken away by the
purchasers, large proportion go to
the suburban towns.
OF the capital invested in bicycle
making machinery it is easier to give
absolutely definite figures than the
number of wheels in use. All the
American manufacturers combined
have S12, 100000 invested in plants
and stock, and this amount increases
at the rate Of about 50, 900, 900 year
by the improvement of the old facto-
ries and erection of new ones. Three
million dollars more is to be added to
this for investments in bicycle club
houses and race tracks, making, with
the S37, 500, 600 invested in wheels,
total of $50, 800, 900 invested in this
country in bicycles and the bicycle in
terests. And this is low estimate.

FINANCE AND TRADE,
a Steady Revival of Confidence Now
Noted.


NEW YORK, Sept. ar. G. Dun g. Co. 8
Weekly Review OF Trade says The house
has passed the silver bill by a majority as
tonishing to its friends and a favorable
result in the senate Is now believed to be
not far distant. Instant improvement in
tho stock market followed, the average OF
prices rising over 81 per share, and there
was also rise in wheat, cotton and pork.
Money markets throughout the country
are more healthy, and tho resumption by
number of banks and other establish
ments illustrates the general tendency to-
ward revival of confidence.
Manufacturers do not yet feel the up
ward impulse, and exhibit on the whole
rather less signs of improvement than
week ago. After some days of encourage
ment, too, stocks began to drag again, and
in speculative circles somewhat less con
fdence was seen. But in these and in the
money market the record of the week has
been mainly one OF satisfactory progress
toward recovery.

not improve nor are orders sufficient to
encourage general resumption of work
