COSTLY RELICS.
Russian General Offers Cathedral a
Half Million Dollars for Bones
of ST. Nicholas.

Bari and Venice have always disputed
as to which cf them possesses the au-
thentic bones of S.. Nicholas. but there
would ssosm to be no doubt IN the mind
of he Russian Gen. Bagdonovitch, who
on seeing them offered the cathedral OF
Bari 100000 rubes (about S501 ,000) for
them, with the intention Of taking them
to'Russia, where this saint IS extraordi-
narily popular It appears that Cen
Bagdonovitch was visiting Bari when he
saw the relics, which are at the bottom
OF a species of well, the bones being
crossed and water springing from them
continually. He became very thought
full, and then exclaimed: 81 will give
you 100000 rubles for them" When
those present smiled, thinking that he
was joking, he repeated his offer several
times, but of course it was refused. The
present czar, as czarowitz, visited the
same relics, while the cathedral was the
scene of Queen Helena's adjuration OF
the orthodox creed and her conversion to
Roman Catholicism. II Is thought
that the matter will not end here, and
that the general will make further eff
forts to secure the bones, but OF course
he has no chance Of success.

Things sometimes happen In India
which puzzle even those who have made
lifelong study of Indian matters. Tree
daubing and well-poisoning are we'll
known, and a very remarkable move
ment, which has recently been taking
place at Behar. must be added to the
list. A strange order was circulated
some weeks back in the district that for
the space of 215 days sons should not
look on their fathers, nor fathers on
their sons, andthat if the order was dis
obeyed the time would be extended to
21S months. Only Hindus were affected,
and even queer waves of underground
excitement" indicate that there are mil
lions in India still who can be swayed
by mysterious agencies over which the
civil government has no control, and to
which 1t can sometimes find no sort of
clew.
