Because of the depredations Of wheel

boushs broken from the exotic trees,

The United States and Russia have
never yet had a dispute. On the con-
trary, the very warmest friendship has
always existed between them During
the civil war Russian fleet prevented
a British fleet from blowing up New
York. In 1893 the ear offered to loan
us 100000, coo in gold to replenish the
reserve. There is not much immgra-
tion from Russia, but as rule the Rus
sian makes good citizen of any coun-
try. Thousands of Americans live and
do business in Russia, From these
We learn that Russia is not the sort
OF despotism that some British writ
ers try 10 make out. The country is
well governed and wealth is equally
distributed. The common laborer is
better of than his brother in America.
crime. The alleged horrors OF Siberia
that We read about in English papers
are not horrors at all. A man con-
yicted of crime is sent to Siberia for
a term of years. He Is put to work
but is not shackled II he is married
he may take his wife with him. He
receives fair remuneration for his SER
vices and at tie end of his term OF
service rarely quits his exile. A single
year in British prison is equivalent to
a life sentence to Siberia We cannot
learn too much about Russia. Some
time ago there was talk of an alliance
between the United States and Eng
land. Our senate wisely refused to
ratify II. We do not think that
similar proposition from Russia would
be as speedily refused. Perhaps
treaty will be concluded before the end
of the century. In the meantime there
II perfect understanding between
the two nations. Russia alone among
Europeans is friendly to the Monroe
doctrine. There Is not the slightest
doubt but that in case Of necessity she

Smiths and Buchanans, after a series OF
family rows and intermin able divorce liti-
cations, are about to emerge free from
matrimonial entanglements.
Judge Allen found way to divorce A.
F. Smith from Mary Smith to-day. Mr..
Buchanan and Mrs. Smith have not only
been the offenders, but the aggressors in
The divorce proceedings The husband
secured his divorce on a cross-complaint.
The two families lived together and
Buchanan and Mrs. Smith renewed
youthful friendship The friendship
did not suit Mrs. Buchanan and Mr..
Smith, ana it at last resulted in a trip by
Mrs. Buchanan to New Mexico.
She had gone but few days when Mrs.
Smith and Mr.. Buchanan called upon an
attorney and two divorce suits were
launched, one By Buchanan against his
wife, and the other by Mrs. Smith against
her husband. The alleged ground in each
case was cruelty. and neither was sue
cesSful.
