ROBBERS IN THE CAUCASUS.
Not Even TurDin's Style Was Superior
to Their Method.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
The Tffiis journals are warning tourists
against travelling in the Caucasus and es-
pecially in the Transcaucasus, without
i an armed escort. On August 26 nine high
waymen held possession of the small ravine
Gasluch, in the neghborhood of Adshikend.
The leader of this bard was a Tartar, Rabi
Nadshas-Ogly, and from 3 o'clock in the
afternoon until 7:30 the robbers held up'
every carriage and vehicle that went along
that narrow defile. and quietly took from
the occupants money and valuables. Five
members of the band. armed with Peabody
revolvers and long dagsers and clad IN the
costume of the Khirgese. We're told off 70
examine the unfortunate travellers. They
were very courteous to the ladies', and ex-
amned the men only. The leader was es-
pecially courteous. and took great pains to
see that the ladies We're not robbed; in
fact. he even went 50 far as to restore to
several husbands their valuables on the en-
treaties of their wives
During the two hours and half the rob-
berS got possession of 2NS0 roubies and q
great quantity of valuable objects. for in
tfat time they had stopped a dozen Vehi-
cles of different kinds and had pluniered
nearly fifty persons. The Caucasus Journal
expresses astonishment at the cOwardice OF
the victims, among whom there were many
strong men who had revolverS ana other
weapons with them. A coachman was the
only one who wished to offer resistance,
but he alone could not do much, and he
was pulled off his hoX-seat and soundly cud-
ge;ed. AS the assistant of chief of police
drove up with his wife and child and learn
ed what was going on, he seized mis- re-
voiver and wished TO fire at the "ohbers.
He was at once stopped ~ cries of Don't
shoot for heavens sake; you will nit some
of the women and children and a man
rushed forward and, snatching the weapon
from the assistants hand, hid It,. SO that
the robbers might rot see that he had in
tended to fire upon them.
None of the vehicles held up by the
robbers was allowed to proceed on its way.
At last a lady travelling in a carriage with
her husband and two little children grew
tired of the long delay and approached the
chief of the robbers with the prayer that
he would let them continue their journey.
The latter drew his watch from his pocket
and replied wait, please, for another hf-
teen minutes; by that time I expect Two
mere carriages: we will just look over them
and then we will let you all go on your
various ways" In a few minutes the car
riages appeared and after they had been
overhauled by the highwaymen, the chiet
said to his victims: Now, you are all free
and can ct ntnue your journeys, but nrst
of ALL we will make our escape Ihey
quickly mounted their horses and at once
disappeared.

Mud shoes.
From the Daily Kennetcc Journal.

From the Daily Kennehcc Journal.
Gardiner sportsman has a novel way
of hunting snipe at Mud Pond AT tnls
season of the year the snipe are as pienu-
full in that vicinity as mosquitoes In trout
time. The only drawback is that it is al
mosf impossible to get out to the little
pools where the snipe can always be
found and gather them in after they have
been shot.
The Gardiner young man thought of the
idea of taking a pair Of snow shoes. He
was laughed at by his companions, but
when the hunting grounds were reached
the other gentlemen had to be content with
standing near the shore in the mud to their
Knees. while the fellow with the snow shoes
was skipping over the treacherous mud,
shooting the snipe right and left. He gath
cred them in with the same ease, and when
the party were ready to come home he was
the fellow to laugh.
