Horses in Russia.---It seems that, ac-
cording to the official returns, there are
q, 600, 900 horses in the Russian en-
pire, or about fifteen animals to about
every hundred inhabitants. But, enor-
nous as the number is, the supply of
really good horses is limited. The Inn
perial administration accordingly has
established in the principal centers
eighteen depots. comprising 1000 stall
lions, most of distinctly superior
class. These are exclusively employed
for the mares belonging to rural pro-
prietors of all classes. without distinc-
ton, and at price varying from one
to ten roubles.-Mark Lane Express.

promptly that De did not think so. That
he had from time 10 time seen something
IN the newspapers TO the effect that 1t
was not the intention Of the authorities
that he should have an opportunity for
active participation in the campaign, but
in point OF fact that he had no claim TO

was always his understanding that his
