pRnrESr FROM RnSSrA.

It is impossible to tell what is going
 on in Russia, because it's despotism is
 so complete and efficient that the
 news" of that great country cannot
 be had. Occasionally, however, a little
 leaks out. The latest is an impressive letter from Russian nobleman printed
 in the London Times. He writes to the Times for the reason that an ex- position of his views is denied him in the papers of his own country, and he asserts that the class to which he be-
 longs is, in the main, thoroughly dis satisfied with present governmental conditions in the land of the Czar. He and those whose cause he is pleading are not Nihilists or political radicals, All that they ask is that as representa- tive Russians, as men of birth, educa- tion and wealth, they should be accord ed some slight share in the local gov ernment of the empire. He complains that no opportunity is now given to men who would be willing to freely give their services in a public career outside of the army, the navy and the bureaucracy. The emperor does not rule the country, for immediate control is vested in the hands of his minister of the interior, who appoints all of the local officials, and who has the power to do whatever he pleases, subject only to the check of his imperial master, check which is in practice never ap- piled. Abuses without number exist, but are impossible of correction, be- cause the newspapers that would give them voice would be suppressed if they printed the least syllable of dissent, and because the minister of the interior, who is responsible for the appointment of those who are betraying their trust,

A RemnrknbIe Man Dead.

Sir Edward Bunbury, Bart, who died at Brighton on Tuesday from pneumo- mia, was one of those remarkable men who would be more regretted were they more generally appreciated. As it is, even few of his comparative inti- mates realized the vast range of his knowledge and the rare versatility of his gifts. Shy, self-contained, and al- most painfully embarrassed in manner, he never obtruded his personality, though he knew well how to guard his dignity, and he sat at table modestly unconscious, and seemingly disinclined to be drawn out. In reality he was at home upon all subjects, and exception ally the master of most; literary acu- men was whetted and eharpened by the constant exercise which was his fa- vorite recreation, and his miscellaneous learning was methodically slowed away in memory of almost unrivalled

 In the accompanying picture there Is a dainty draped bodice made to match the skirt, the lace running across in- stead of up and down but the velvet ribbon banding Is the same on both. Chiffon bretelles are caught with TO- settes on the shoulders, and a wide lav- ender velvet belt comes around the waist. Nile green is the dress material and the skirt of nile green satin having lace panels on the sides is banded with five rows of lavender velvet ribbon, when it is covered with accordeon pleated nile green chiffon, excepting the guipure panels.
 Very dainty wash silks are made with a blouse jacket front that is like a blouse waist Slit up the front to show a blouse shirt that pushes bravely through. The fashion Is a boon to plump women and does not add SO much as might be fancied to the bulk of the person if the back fits well and the blouse effect is not allowed to fall too low at the sides of the front.
 All summer and spring house dresses are adorned with insertion of lace, the prettiest silks being literally cut to rib bons that bodices may be made of noth- ing but insertion alternating with rib bon. Materials come by the yard sim ulating this end and of it entire dresses are made. FLORETTE.

WISE BOYS.

Early to bed and early to rise makes
 a man healthy, wealthy and wise. He
 who by the plough would thrive must | get up long before half-past five. To bed with the sparrow and up with the
 shad The early worm gets caught by the early bird. A little more slumber,
 little more folding of the hands in
 sleep, saith the sluggard. What boy
 does not know that early rising is the basis of health, the foundation of wealth, the promoter of piety and the
 way to heaven? If there is any boy who does not know this he has not been brought up according to Hoyle. His
 parents have not done what they knew
 was their duty by him, and they have
 not done by him as they were done by.
 For countless centuries it has been thoroughly understood that boys who
 would amount to anything could not
 sleep in the morning, just when they
 most wanted to sleep. It has for count
 less centuries been well known that they must rebel against their natural
 disposition and must get up early, es- pecially in cold mornings. Only so could they rightly honor their fathers and mothers and have long days in the land which the Lord their God might give them. The billions of boys who have struggled with morning sleep and
 been conquered by it have suffered much from their futile efforts to defeat the Great Destroyer and from the con- viction of unworthiness which their de- feat has brought. And their parents have suffered much in seeing their dar- lings supinely in the clutch of the morn ing sleep devil, and stupidly resisting all efforts for salvation therefrom.
 But these are days of progress. The morning light is breaking. Old beliefs are petering out and old saws are be- coming too dull for useful application. It now appears that the boys who wont get up in the morning until they are hit with a ruler or a shtngle, or doused with cold water, or slung from the mid dle of the bed into the middle of the room are not on that account hopelessly devilish and lost. It is a wise father that knows more than his own boy, and the boy knows what he is about when L. I,eso afc r+no q Ivy The British Medical Journal says 50, and what the British Medical Journal doesn't know about boys cannot be found in the Encyclopedia Britannica | or the Century dictionary. Scientific | investigation has made 1t plain to the | British Medical Journal that 1t is all | right for elderly people to get up early, | because their vascular systems have | become stiff. But the vascular systems | of boys are in such condition that it | is well for boys to lie abed until 8 a. m. or later.
 Thus is Science brought into har- mony with Nature and Fact. Par ents, submit yourselves unto your boys and unto Science, Nature and Fact. | Boys learn what your vascular systems require in the way of morning sleep, paste the requirements printed in large | letters on your bedroom doors and de- mand that your parents respect them. So shall you find long life, honor and success and pour contempt on Poor Richard and other poor phrase-nnakers who have long passed for sages and philosophers in a conventional and un- world.

The Pittsburg Dispatch tells how a F'railroad hog" was fitly punished the other day. He had piled the space next to him in a car seat with his bundles, and when a gentleman asked him if any one was to occupy it, he replied that the bundles belonged to man who was temporarily in the smoking-car. "All right" said the gentleman, q will sit in the seat till he comes," and he pro- ceeded to remove the bundles. Pretty soon the owner of the bundles arrived at his destination, and he started to gather up his effects, But the gentle
 man at once put a veto on this, with the remark: 'You can't take these bum dies; you yourself said they belonged to a man in the smoker" The fellow got mad and abusive, but the gentleman was memorable. Finally, the conductor was called in, who delivered his dictum as follows: "If the bundles are not claimed by any one on the train, then by coming around to the depot to-mor- row and identifying them satisfactorily we will give them to you" The mans face was as red as fire with rage, and he shook like gelatine, but he could do nothing. So, amid the laughter of the passengers, he rushed out of the car to jump off just as the train was pull ing out from the station. And he meek ly came around to the depot for his bundles the next day, but swore revenge upon the man who played such a prac- sical joke upon him.

ber of the county court In refusing to
pay the bill Of I. M. Long, who claims

for services which ne had not rendered
in any shape whatever and others for
double the amount which Mr. c. ].
Curtis has charged for the same SER
vice, and which the law allows. These
the county court refused to pay, and
sent for Mr.. Long and requested him
to show on what authority ne was
acting as deputy district attorney, and
presenting such bills. He claimed that
Mr. Curtis had deputized him to act,
by the authority OF District Attorney
Garrett. Having reason to doubt this

Omaha, Feb. IA Lincoln special to

an angry debate today over the al
legged inactivity of the state relief COM
mittee. Senator Stewart offered reso-
luton providing for the appointment
of a committee of five senators to at
once take charge of the shipment OF
100 carloads Of supplies now on hand.
The resolution provoked heated dis
cussion. Stewart denounced the mem
bers Of the state commission as gross
ly incompetent and asserted that
through their criminal negligence peo-
pie were perishing from cold and star
walton. The discussion soon took
partisan turn which was brought to
a climax by Caldwell, who asserted that
the commission was handicapped by
the fact that at least one of its mem-
bers was Populist. The debate was
closed by the adoption of an amend

A Busy Day was Experienced in Both
Houses.

Olympia, Feb. 7.-irhis was another
busy day In both houses. The COM
mittee on the senate employees pre-
scented it's resignation in body, claim
ing the senate continually failed to
recognize it's recommendations, and by
reason of the army of Office seekers

wrongly condemned, and that the state

will show the. Whole affair a plot of
the Portland smuggling ring to down
Coblentz, who testified against them,
and the alleged exposure of the grain
bag manipulations was a job against
Coblentz between the smuggling ring
and the prisoners. The resolution by

IT WAS THE LAST HOPE
Administration Financial Bill
Defeated in the House.
THE wcToRs CHEER LOUDLY
Oregon's Representatives Voted
Against the Bill-Third Read
ing Not Allowed.
Associated Press.

Washington, Feb. THE last hope
of financial legislation for the relief of
the treasury at the present session Of
this congress went by the board when
the house by vote Of 1874 to 161, re.
jected the administration bill to
authorize the issue of $500.00O,000 Of
bonds The bill was beaten before it
reached its last parliamentary stage.
This result was reached after three
days of speeches, and at times a heat
ed debate, and at the end Of seven
hours session. From II a. m. till $3.50
today, when the bill with pending sub
stitutes, was reported to the house
from the committee of the whole,
amendments were offered in rapid sue
cession, most of which were voted
down as fast as they were offered.
Many of them were designed to load
down the bill, and the votes thereon
were In no sense test votes. The Bell
amendment, for instance. to make the
bonds payable in gold and silver, was
defeated by a decisive vote of 176 to
100, while the bill was defeated by 1S4
to 16l.
Both the Reed and Cox substitutes
with amendments thereto, were re-
jected after the bill was reported to
the house.
The Reed substitute. authorizing the
issue of coin bonds for the replenish
ment of the gold reserve and indebted
ness to defray the deficiency In the
revenues, was lost, 1O9 to 1877. 1t was a
party vote, When the question came
up for a third reading, and the en-
grossment of the bill, the whole OPP
position centered upon 1t while the
vote was being taken, which resulted
in the refusal of the house to order
Third reading, the interest centering
in the vote of Reed. He sat quietly In
his seat during roll call, and did not
answer to his name, but ON a second
call he voted for the bill. AS soon as
the result was announced Reed at
tempted to make an explanation OF The
attitude of himself and those of his
colleagues who had voted for the bill,
but objections were made. He after
wards explained, however, that he had
submitted proposition (his own sub
stitute) which he considered would
meet the situation. The Democrats
had rejected this, and then he and /
many of his colleagues who were also
opposed to features of the bill, had
voted for it in the hope 1t woul pass
and lbe amended in the senate. Spring
er then moved to reconsider the vote
by which third reading was refused,
but this motion was laid on the table
by vote Of 1875 to 1913, and the bill was
killed. An analysis Of the vote shows
chat AZ Republicans and % Democrats
voted for the bill, and So Republicans
and 9S Democrats and Populists
voted against 1t.
