A RUSSIANS VISION.
1t Forms a Curious Contrast to the
Cars Professions OF
Peace.

In curious contrast with the pro-
fessed love of peace of the present czar
of Russia comes the publication OF a
pamphlet, The War of the Future in
the Year 19--," the vision of Russian
patriot, which was received with the
greatest interest in Russia proper and
was translate into French and German
immediately after its appearance in
Russia, says the Boston Herald. The
story describes a war of Russia against
Great Britain, Italy, etc, starting from
the supposition that Russia possesses
a naval port in the Arctic ocean not far
from the North cape and a much
stronger fleet than now.
The author is hiding under the pseu
donym "a Bjelomo" (meauirg White
sea-, but his disguise is rather thin, for
everybody knows that Admiral Maka-
rolf is behind it. Only last year the car
authorized the use of 10000, COO rubles
toward the opening of Jekaterinport
on the so-called Murmannic coast Of
the Arctic splendid harbor, which, on
account of the influence of the gulf
stream, is open the year round, and to-
ward the building of additional men-of-
war. The minister of the navy recently
went with Admiral Makaroff to visit
this new port, and railroads will be built
to connect it with Archangel and St.
Petersburg, the building of these rail
roads being now assured beyond
doubt.
Would this not prove that the cza1
has but small hopes of the ultimate vic
tory of his peace projects?

Santiago AmericaniEed.

George Kennan tells in the Outlook
how Santiago is becoming American
lied. American hotels and restaurants
bearing such names as the "Luttrell
house." the United States hotel" the
american and French hotel" the "Ari-
zona saloon" the California saloon"
and the Chicago restaurant" are now
TO be found in all parts OF the city; and
the proprietors even of Cuban and
Spanish cafes invite American patron
age By means of rudely-painted sign
boards setting forth in quaint English
the merits of the food, drink or enter
tainment to be found therein. Among
such signs that he noted in the course
of days walk about the city were:
Sweet Meals"
Everything is here for sail"
"Hot lunches at oil houres."
Customers treated kindly and

Notes from India.

The latest reports from India regard
ing the plague show that the area afr
fected continues TO extend. and that the
measures taken to check its Progres SIS
are only partially effective. Meantime
the mortality from phthsis increases.
more particularly in the districts where
the plague was worst. the registered
deaths in some districts from phthisis
alone running to over 16 and II per 900
of the population. The season has been
OF unprecedented severity throughout
northern ard northwest India. In some
localities in the hill country the mer-
curry fell as low as four degrees below
zero, and ten and twenty degrees of
frost have been common in many
places. In Delhi the winter is said to
nave been the severest ever known. In
the Himalayas the snowfall has been
abnormal, extending in some parts 1900
feet below the usual level. The com
pleted estimate of the area under cot
Ton for the present season is 1858 900
lcres, against 13,S13,O00 last year, and
l4,560,C00 acres average for the previous
five years. The estimated yield how
ever, is we'll over the average.-N. Y.

GOOD TIP FOR A SNOWMAN.
1t Is Over n Century Old, But It's Odd
Enough I'm Spite of It's
Old Axe.

In the matter of aerostation we seem
to have made little advance for over a
century. The subjoined extract from
the Publick Intelligencer, of April ~,
1856, shows that the balloonists of those
days had quite ambitious ideas on the
subject of aerial navigation. Unfor>
tunately nothing is known of the sue
cess of the adventure with the -four
harnessed tame eagles. capable of fly
ing in every direction at their masters
, will"
! "New FISH BALLOON, at the PAN
THEON, ready for sion, and to be
steered in the air by four live eagles.
1t is now universally admitted that
every attempt to steer balloons in the
air. by any power of mechanism, will
always prove fruitless, as there is no
possibility of finding point d'appui, or
point of resistance. Mr.. Uncles, though
convinced of this truth, is nevertheless
ambitious as an Englishman of merit
ing the name of the first aerial char
ioteer; instead, therefore, of making
use of Intellectual sails, oars, wings, ETC.,
he is determined to comply living force,
combat the wind and guide himself
through the regions of the sky; with
this intention he has just finished a vast
fish-formed balloon, to which is sus-
pended a splendid triumphal car eN-
gantly ornamented with projecting ac-
commodations for four harnessed
eagles. perfectly tame, and capable Of
flying in every direction at their mas
ler's will. Mr.. Uncles. who also fatters
himself to render his balloon station
airy, intends to make his grand ascen-
sion in it after Easter. Till then his
new and magnificent spectacle will be
exhibited in the grand salon of the Pan
theon every day, Sundays excepted,
from 10 to 6 o'clock"

LONGEST KNOWN.
The Lengthy Sentence That Was
Pronounced Upon an ItaI-
Ian SUfEs5Ier.

The tribunal of Modica, in the Sicilian
province of Syracuse, has just pro-
nounced a sentence which is declared
to have no parallel in the judicial an
nails of Italy, as ii has probably few in
those of any other country. A man
named Lupo Salvatore, of Comiso, had
passed himself off as an advocate, and
had with consummate skill committed
63 different acts of serious fraud in
which he succeeded in using the ma
chinery of the law. He had forged the
signatures of the president and judges
of the high court, of the kings procur-
ator. and of the chancellor Of the court.
From this aforementioned official he had
even, with splendid audacity, stolen for
a short time the seal of the chancery,
which he needed to give effect to his
fraudulent documents. The sentence is
even more remarka bic than the crimes.
Salvatore was condemned 10 three
years imprisonment on each OF the 63
cases, which brings the total Of the SEN
tence to 1S9 years, though the longest
incarceration which the convict can be
legally made to undergo is 80 years.
The penalty inflicted is in each case i
minimum for the offense. Had the
court decided upon the maximum, which
is ten years, the aggregate term OF i'm
prisonment would have been 630 years.
