The Booklovers' Magazine states that
the Russian population is perhaps the
most mixed OF all nations, and is made
up in large measure of conquered peo-
pie who still remember their overthrow
with bitterness. Probably not far
from one-third Of the whole-from
forty to sfty miillons--are true Musco-
vites. Around the central Muscovites
are grouped Lapps. Firms Germans,
Lithuanians, Roumanians. Greeks,
Gecrgians and Tartars, with Jews
and Gypsies scattered through the
south and west. These are all in Euro.
pcan Russia, and this is nothing to
the medley in Asiafic Russia, where
there Is an almost endless variety 81
races. Zach of the races mentioned
speaks a different tongue. ana there
are at least six different religions
among them without counting sectar-
les. such as the Daukhobors. Bitter
political hatred Of Russia burns fierce
~ among the Firms, Poles and Ar
menians; while symptoms Of active
revolt are reported among Georgians
and Tnreomans along tie Asiatle fror.

a blight Of no small proportions fell
upon iamentably large percentage
OF the playhouses of the United States
last autumn and continued throughout
the winter and the spring. Various
reasons have been assigned in public
prints and in popular talk for this
extensive falling off in the patronage
Of places of diversion, but the attempts
at explanation are by no means in
agreement. Few American managers
enjoyed prosperous times in the eight
months from September to May; and
news comes from England that the
London season has not been as yet
propitious to amusements indoors ex-
cept in few instances. Fortune
seems to have been sadly unfavorable
to the puryeyors of entertainments on
both sides Of the ocean.

Timbers' Brothers Arraigned.

Trembling visibly and pleading with
the officers to protect them, Israel and
Horace Timbers. brothers of one of
the Biddle assailants, and Horace
Robinson, colored, were arraigned at
Mount Holly before Judge Gaskill on
the charge of aiding the trio of brutes
to escape after their crime. Although
there is intense feeling against the
men, there was no outward expression
of it in court as they stood up and en-
tered pleas of guilty. Judge Gaskill
Immediately assigned counsel to the
men and fixed their bail at $500 each.
If they fail to get bail their trial will
occur the first week in August other
wise it may go over to the September
term.
