respondence of Tun Urn. | In Petersburg ,
llio approaching visit of the lmh to Gats-
china in considered as n prognostic of n
Huitso-l'crslnn alliance. Indeed , following
upon the Immense concessions obtained from
the Persian nutocrat by the Kusslnn nmbus-
finder , nolgoroultoff , it is significant , nnd
should nfTord food for rcllcctlon In London
ns In Calcutta. In Hussla the coquetting of
the government In Asia , and Its endeavors
to extend the empire In thar direction of
India , nro looked upon with extreme dis
favor by all , uxcopt n handful of Ylncoos of
the most rabid order. Whilst so very much
remains to bo done at homo , Is thu popular
nrKUincnt , what use Is there In going nbrond >
UolorouUofT has done very well. Hussla Is
authorized to protect militarily , the now
commercial route which the Persian govern
ment has engaged to niako from Teheran to
this Casutnn sen. The buy of Mourdab has
been thrown open to liusslan navigation.
The shah has promised to construct a num
ber of roadsirom various centers to the Hus-
slan frontier. In shoit , Uolgoroiiltoff'a work
amounts to a practical annexation of Persia
to Uussln. The shall will nrrivu in Peters

The author , who appears n strong supporter
of the historical mot d' ordro of Germany ,
"lanK nuch Osten , " rocoRiil/inR the hopo-
lopsness of any conquest of Russia , advises
bis compatriots to colonlrc Russia pacifically ,
nnd urges on the GermntiR In thu Kimlan
liultlc ] ii evinces to resist nil attempts of the
government to Kuisify tbcui. Apropos of
the Husslflcntion of the Hnltlc provinces , the
light between tno government nnd the Teu
tonic clement wages furiously. Quito re
cently the whole municipal council of Hlgu
was hauled up , by order of the minister of
lufttlco , before the court of assizes , for rebel
lion , against the ordcis of the govern
ment. Kxomplary punishment will bo in
flicted. The entire Judicial system Is to be
changed , and trial by jury In open courts ,
which has now been established twenty years
in nil other parts of Hussln , to bo introduced.
Moreover , nil pleadings nro to bo spoken In
Husslan , which Is also to bo the language
employed In nil legal documents intended to
havu validity. At the same time , a clean
sweep has been made of the pastors of Teu
tonic sympathies , who have criticized the
measures of the government , and only at the
bsglnmng of this week , twelvoof these cccle-
l lastii H were sent to Archangel to stay. Poor
M. do Glcrs may \vcll look careworn. Some
kind friend has sent do Gicts n copy of the
last book published by the colooratcd Ger
man pessimist philosopher , Hnitmnnn , nnd
the chancellor has not been well since. Hart-
ninnn's book Is the eovcrcst critique on His-
m rck's policy , ofJilch the pcttvchancollor
Is so sorvllo a supporter , which has ever been
made public. Ho declares that all that llis-
marck has done of late is to make enemies to
Gcrinaiiv on every side , nnd , as a crowning
act of stupidity , has alienated the sympathies
of the United States army. He adds that a
war between Germany and Russia could m-
1 ru Russia but litllo , and that in cnso of a
Frunco-Rubslan alliance Germany would bo
loa ) , . Ho advises Germany to conciliate
Franco by the cession , or at least , the

Vice-Consul TvnnofT , who was sent by
the government to Suez to Investigate the
Atschinoff mutter , has just published his re-
oorthich , on the whole , is favorable to the
idvonturous 'Cossack. ' Admiral Olry and
Captain Vlron both speak well of him. The
territory , it appears , did not belong to
Franco nt all , The bombardment was not
preceded by any ultimatum. Atschlnoff's
comrades give quite a now version of 'his ex
' ' conduct. 'His
cellency's' excellency,1 by
the way , asserts that the Ficnch robbed him
of 15,000 roubles.
In ono of Its last seances the Russian Geographical
graphical society delegated Mr. PiewtzefT ,

Thibet has , in part , nlseudv beenoxplorcd by

; urlous In tbo archives of the Russian Gco-
( raphlcal society. According to this the do-
iccndnnU of the war like Mongolians , who
it ono time conquered Russia , nro BO poor a
ot that , says the explorer , * n single Russian
ad , armed with a revolver , could put a him-
3red of them to flight. Polyandry is com
mon throughout the country for a reason
iklu to the Mnlthuslan theory. The super-
itltlous women take refuge in the innumera
ble liuddhlst monasteries , nnd kill time In
sopying manuscripts , Interesting as arc the
results of thcso expeditions , the liberals in
Russia disapprove of them , as forming merely
i pretext for extension and annexation.
"Tho more barbarians , " it is argued , "that

It as understood tlintiho money ( $100,000 ,

Btiiml an absolute despotism so long.
Pasteur just now Is wanted badly at ICazan ,
wheio upwards of UCO persons are In danger
of hydrophobia. Last week a largo number
of people In the outlying districts wcro bitten
by mad wolves , the number of which , doubt
lessly exaggerated , U put nt sixteen , nijd at
the aaino time a quantity of dogs
vrero bitten , which In their turn have bitten
people. Immediately a police- order com
manding nil dogs In the city to be produced
for veterinary inspection was Issued and re
sulted In n perfect holocost of canines. Pa
trol * of citizens armed with guns uro destroy-
inir every dog that shows Itself In the street.
Most of thosu bitten wore sent In a special
train to Moscow , to bo attended to in the
hospitals tlieie. The ignorant population of
Kazan la panic stricken , looking on this oo-
curranco ns an omen of n great calamity to
come , The calamity that has comolsbad
enough. The last gang of convicts embarked
at Odessa on ft. 8. Petersburg , for transpor

leniences appears extraordinary , even In
Ruiila , but it must bo remembered that oven
twelve month's hard labor in Sachallno
Island means death in nlno cases out of ten ,
for none but the strongest can stand the
climate. "Yellow Jack" there does the
work of the gulllltono or gallows , moro hu

Kver.v week mch case * of death rosulltuf
from the hoiucuold remedies among luu
peasants are reported.
A hurriblo murder it reported from the
villnco of Telencschta , In the government of
Klschlnoff. Some months ago a young farm
girl named Kntharltin married n young work
man rarpontcr , Tvan Andrcovltch. Kntnr-
Inn did not bclmvoyoll nnd Tvnn , to KC.CP
her In order , used the domestic knot. Knt-
nrlna determined to have him bewitched into
less severity nnd appealed to the local witch ,
Barbara , to do the work. Darbara ,
In exchange for olijht roubles , gave her
a pcbblo and ImJo her grind It Into
IKW-der nnd plvo It to her husband with his
food. ICiitarlnn made It into powder nnd put
most of It into a cake , which Ivan got for sup
per that night. In the night ho wni taken
violently 111 , nnd , after suffering for two
days , died. The post mortem established
poisoning by arsenic. Itcatno out that Uar-
Imra was a professional poisoner , who mur
dered

This old woman , whoso nppcarnnco Is dp-
scribed as rovoltlngly hideous. Biild to the
Judge nt Klschlneff assizes : "It's n grdnt
Dlty I have only poisoned nlno men , und I
had made up my mind to do for ton. " Uy
her confession , It rnmo to light that she had
poi oned her two husbands nnd six children.
An extraordinary casn of the religious ox-
dilution , produced amongst the peasant popu
lation In the liultlc provinces , by the nntl-
Russian erusado carried on bv the Teutonic
pastors , Is reported from the village of Ron-
mln , In the district of Tnlscn. Xomcr , n
peasant , npponrcd in the pulpit of Roumtn
church , on Sunday last , after the departure
of the priest , and , announcing the end of
the world ns imililncnt , Mated that their only
chnnco bf salvation lay in ridding themselves
nt once of all their earthly goods , "wife ,
child , house , money , clothes , all must go. "
Suiting example to precept ho first emitted
his pockets , nnd then began to ilmg oft his
clothes. The others were beginning to fol
low his cxnmblo , when the Aurladnlck , or
vllllngo constable Interfered , made them
dress again nnd disperse. Similar extrava
gances taking place In various parts of the
provinces , the action of the government In
Bonding to take the air In Archangel and
elsewhere , the clergymen , who In their zeal
in service of the Gorman barons have en
tirely demoralized their wretched parish
ioners with threats of wrnlh to come , scorns
nn excellent measure. Less excellent Is the
plan decided upon by the Holy Synod In St.
Petersburg of sending out n number of spec
ial preachers tohnrancuo thn peasants of the
Baltic provinces back Into their senses.
Zeal In denouncing nihilist conspiracies to
the Potersbuig police is by no means a payIng -
Ing , business just now. The informer usually
pets arrested pending inquiries as to his
character and financial status. At one
time It was nt profitable as certain
speculators in Paris found the sale of manu-
fnctuicd Fenian plots to the English Homo
oHIce , but of late It has worn too thin even
for Herr Grnesser. An Englishman , who
lust week had 10.000 roubles worth of information
mation to sell. Is now in jail , nnd will bo
kept there until his arrears at his hotel uro
paid off. Grnesser knows now to his cost
that no Information about what the nihilists
nra doing can bo bad until they do. 'ion
thousand roubles , nor ten ruHlion , would not
niaTfo it worth a man's while to sell any
ecnuinn Information. As a matter of fact ,
the real nihilists nre keeping quiet for the
present , determined to give Alexander III.
nil time to net. As , however , ho is using
this time now ,
TIIK AVOU9T MAY 11E ANTICIPATED.
Religious persecution , delay In the execu
tion of all reforms , the Imposition of Irre
sponsible petty tyrants ( crown prefects ) in
the district govoi nmcnti , the ncclcct of the
army , the absence or all foreign policy but
ono of useless extension , have all been placed
against him on the debit side. Ho is not ,
however , considered to have taken any line
of conduct , but to bo hcsltati * , and in ex
tenuation of this hesitation the troubled
state of Europe and thu necessarily reac
tionary Influence of the execution of his
father are admitted. Hesitation for any
protracted period will become dangcious ,
however.
A most Interesting dog show is now being
held in St. Petersburg. Mnnv members of
tbo Imperial family are exhibiting tfio choic
est specimens of their kennels. Specially
noticed aio the wolf hounds of Grand Duke
Peter Nicolnjcvitth , the pack of the crown
price nnd the magnificent sheep dogs of Prince
LIchtcnbcrgski. Prince Dolgoroukl , Count
Tolstoi and Prince Wolkonski are also prize
winners. 'Iho exhibition , which numbers 150
varieties , includes some curious cinino spec
imens. The precious , bull-dogclsh , blood
shot-eyed , Persian sheep dogs , reputed lineal
descendants of the lion-killing dogs of 13uby-
lon , the Finland ilshing dogs , the Esquimaux
sleigh dogs , the Sibonun wolf hounds and

all arms and apparatus used in hunting , and
the various rooms are agreeably decorated

An Old Mini's Dream.
All ( Jic rear lloimil.
Ah , child , I watch you with the firelight's
gleam
Lighting the beauties of your golden hair ,
Nestling within the glories of your eyes ,
And kissing tenderly your cheeks so fair.
Your bright young life is stretching on bo-
lore , '
Whilst nil my youth is In the far away ;
1 dream but of the time to come no moro ,
Whilst you have hardly ventured into day 1
And yet I love you with R love as pure
As over found its birth In human breast.
I Wo you with n love that will endure
And hold jou ever as its first and best.
How I have watered , as one would do a
flow'r ,
Your many charms , ray darllng.sof. unfold.
Longing to shelter you thro' storm and
sbow'r
But you are young , my dear , and T am old I
It would not do to place your slender hand
Within mine own , save for n little space ;
It would not do for you and mo to stand
Before the nltur in God's sacred place.
Another ono will como and woo and win
A lover with a youth as bright us thine
And I will keep my envious thoughts
within ,
And pray that you may taste lovo'n joys
dlvluo.
May and December arc not made to wed ,
Spring's aim und winter's snow can uovcr

God bless thcol there is no moro to bo said
And keep thce fair and pure for him , my

Dream in the firelight , I am watching near ,
Weave nil your tender fancies o'er again ;
May till life's happiness bo yours , my dear ,
Only for mo the solitude and puln !

The prevalence of the Directory and
Emnlro fashions revives the fancy for
line hand-wrought braiding end em
broidery. Why is it that wo are uhlo to

country ?
All the best of it is imported , and
must bo imported until skill is greatly
increased among American needlo-
uomon. Knowing the wretched wages
puicl for slop sowing done on contract ,
some practical women arc trying to diH-
cover what stands in the way of our

dainty stlchos as are taken by the French
nnd Belgians , and no got the llnor and

Mrs. Annie Jonncss Miller has a

which she shows with seine pride ns an
example of American braiding , hut
specimens of woru as good as the im

"All's well that onclo wolll"
is the exclamation in which the
worthy country people , who crowded
the Cher assho court , jester-
day , would doubtless have indulged
had they studied in the vernacular the
productions of immortal Bard of Avon ,
says the Paris correspondent of the
London Telegraph.
The prisonar was a young man Bon-
enl hy name who , unable to molt the
heart of a fascinating maiden , Sylvino
Gaudion , the pride of their little vil
lage , by repeated offers of marriage ,
ono day revenged himself on this coy
beauty by firing on her with a gun
which ho had borrowed from nn oblig
ing friend.
Posted b < ! In nil a hedge , Bononi took
aim at the girl as she was wandering
down a rustic lane "fancy free. " Fortu
nately , however , he mihsod her , but ,
curious to relate , the shot took effect in
a very different manner , and from that
hour the fair Sylvino relented ,
On his return homo Betionl was
soiled with an illness which kept him
for two full months between life and
death. When , however , he began to
recover , the llrst person whom lie saw
at his bedside was the object of his
llamo , who had called repeatedly , and
not only forgave him freely but prom
ised him her hand on the solo condition
that ho should bo acquitted at the trial.
Sylvino pleaded so warmly for her
lover in court that the jurymen waxed
lenient , and she and Bononi are to bo
united at no distant date in the bonds
of wedlock.
The car of Russia's second brother ,
the Grand Duke Alexis , now ncaring
his fortieth year , is not married , and
will probably go unmarried to his gra\o.
Few persons recollect or realize the con
jugal tragedy that marked the early
years of this intelligent and handsome
prince. Ho fell in love , longyoarsago ,
with a young lady attached to the house
hold of his mother , and , like an honor
able man , ho made the woman that ho
loved his wife. The fact of the mar
riage came to the knowledge of his
father , who at once caused the young
couple to bo separated by the full cjcqr-
ciso of his despotic authority. The
grand duke was sent oil on a voyage
round the world , his marriage was an
nulled and his wife compelled , by
threats of banishment to Siberia and
of total separation from her child , a
boy of oxtiaordinary beauty and engag
ing qualities , to consent to a second
union with an obscure physician. By
this measure all possible reunion with
her royal husband was rendered impos
sible. The subsequent marriage of Al
exander II. to the Princess Dolgourouki ,
though only a morganatic one mitrht ,
you will think , have taught him a little
human feeling towards his son , and that
son'a wifofnud offspring. In this , tragic
story , it is said , is to bo found the true
reason why the Grand Duke Alexis ,
though legally unmarried , has refused
all negotiations for a royal alliance.
After the marriage of his younger
brother , the Grand Duke Paul , "he will
bo the only single one among the broth
ers of the reigning czar.
A clerical scandal , involving a Ni
agara love romance , is being tried in
the courts at Buffalo. Rev. George
Tompkins wont to Niagara Falls from
England six years ago and mot Miss
lji7/io Rodhath , a dashing clerk in a
cataract curiosity store. Ho returned
to England with the intention of marry
ing her as soon as ho could get a di
vorce from his wife. In 1885 the OP -
gagomout wasconsummatecl , the clorgv-
m.m having obtained his divorce. The
bridal trip was in Europe. Rev. Mr.
Thompkins was worth $80,000 , of which
ho voluntarily gave half to hib now
bride. He claims that afterwards his
bride's family squee/od all his money
out of him except 49conts , and then expelled -
polled him from the house and ill-
treated him. The young wife charges
that the dominie gave her the money
and that she left him because ho tried
to shoot her for not giving false testi
mony in a church trial.
Fannie Ellis , a poor mountain girl ,
living with her aunt near Greenwood ,
Ala. , lias just learned that she is heir
ess to H,000,000. She inherits it from
her father , Franklin A. Ellis , who died
in 1884 after loading a strange life , dur
ing which ho passed under different
names. The father , mother and child
once lived at Marda , III. , from which
place the father lied , leaving the
mother and child destitute. The
mother remarried and soon after died.
Her second husband also died and the
wont to live with her aunt , where she
has since lived a life of drudgery.
Stories are told of several attempts
years ago to murder the girl. The re
cent discovery and identification of
the young heiress wcro brought about
by ono ( "ilovoland , of San Francisco ,
who formerly knew the family. On th6
death of Ellis ono Allen Coffin was ap
pointed administrator , and much of the
property was sold. Suit has lately
been brought to recover it.
Ono of the Danmnrk's passengers ,
Miss Winfried Bjorson , has at last boon
united to her lover , and is now in Ab
erdeen , Dak. , enjoying nuptial bliss ,
after a storm-tossed journey of a month.
When she reached St. Paul , Minn. , she
was in a sad plight , as she expected her
lover to moot her there. She could not
speak English , but her disappointment
was soon made known , and a telegram
to Aberdeen brought her ilancu and
they were married.
A case in which a young lady of Lee
county , Texas , availed herself of the
privilege of a leap year with a venge
ance , is reported by a local paper. The
young lady is the daughter of John A ,
Maxwell , a farmer and stock raiser ,
who lives sixteen miles in a north
easterly direction from Giddings , and
who is ono of the most prominent ,
highly-respected and well-to-do
- - citi
zens of the county , The novelty about
the elopement is that , instead of the
young man stealing nwav the brldo * nd
assisting her in her flight , she actually
wont after nnd stole him away. At the
dead hour of the night , after they had
retired , she stcaltnily loft the house ,
wont to the lot and saddled a horse ,
and started to her lover's house in a
blinding rainstorm. In order to reach
his homo she nad to Bwim a creek.
After accomplishing this bravo feat ,
she was safe , for by the next morning
the water was spread all over the bottom
tom and pursuit was impossible ,
Every pleasant evening , in that hour
just before twilight , which wo all love
to idle away with inconsequential
thoughts and observations , there passes
my window a couple that greatly inter-
o ts mo , says a-vmfor in the Toledo
Blade. The Indvis1jut a young girl , it
Booms , and olio Ua.4 'such a pretty face ,
BO white and peaceful , with something
of a sadness in ItfBOmothing of Joy.
She has great oycsjthat stare strangely
at you , and , at tho. Bound of her compan
ion's voice , tholrllils1 are drooped , nnd
the long , graceful eyelashes tall upon
her cheeks. Thg iqan reminds mo of
ono of the old Saxons. Ho is big and
strong , and has the curly golden hair
nnd the big blonde beard ot that race of
men. His companion hangs oh hit
arm , and yet ho seems to depend upon
her ac much as she on himfor they cling
very closely indcefl'Hogothcr , while ho
carefully picks their way out with a
light cane.
Both are blind , I inquired about
them the other day. Neither over saw
the light of day. Neither can over
know how glorious the sunlight is , how
prettily blond the beautiful hues of the
Mowers , how grand all nature looks.
Neither over saw the other and yet they
are a bridal pair.
They only live in a world of darkness
and in each other. They mot long ago ,
became devotedly attached to each
other and were married. And so now
every evening , when the weather is fine ,
they go out for nllttlo strolland ab they
slowly , carefully walk past my window
I think "it is a sad yet pretty sight a
blind bridal pairl"
A very romantic wedding occurred at
Seattle , W. T. , on the 12th of March.
The interested parties wore Miss Eva
Holmii'k , daughter of Isaac Ilclmick , of
this city , and niece of the late Hon.
William Ilclmick , of Washington , and
Frank Sparling , who owns a largo cattle
ranch in the territory. Miss Eva , just
for fun had answered a personal in a
Chicago paper. The gentleman dis
closed his real name , and the corre
spondence , which was kept up regu
larly , ripened into a genuine love affair.
Sparling linally proposed matrimony.
Photographs were exchanged and mat
ters became serious.
Mr. Sparling seemed perfectly honest
and sincere , disclosing his occupation ,
standing , etc. , which , of course , in
spired the utmost confidence in Miss
Ilclmick. Ho linally proposed to fur
nish her n transportation ticket and
bear all traveling expenses if she would
come and Investigate for herself , and ,
if satisfactory , celebrate the marriage
at onco. Her parents thought the trip
would bo a risky venture , so the ticket
nnd money wcro returned , very reluc
tantly , however , on the part of Miss
Eva. The correspondence was con
tinued , and in a short time the propo
sition was renewed , and this time ac
cepted for better or worse.
The arrangement was that Mr. Spar
ling should meet his lady love at
Seattle , W. T. , on the fourth day of this
month. Miss Hclmick , with a brave
heart , started on her long journoy.
After six weary days and nights , she
arrived at the appointed place , and
there met her illlldnccil. The couple
proceeded at onc.b to' Snohomish , a to\vu
whore Mr. Snarling1 was well known ,
and , calling in a _ minister , they were
married in the Hotel in the presence of
100 well-wishers and friends of the
groom. The bride fs ono of the most
accomplished jo'ungladies ' of Now Phi
ladelphia , p. , and the husband stands
very high in the community and is very
wealthy. From beginning to finale the
courtship and marriage was most ro
mantic.
Our readers w.ill remember that but a
few weeks ago.saysi the Deadwood Pioneer
neer , in the pr.iiricllro thats.vept Pen-
nington and a piirt.of Lawrence county ,
n Miss Eloisc Madison lost her life.
Tragic as was her death , the rmnanco
developing subsequently only adds to
the sadness of the occurrence. It seems
the young lady had been betrothed to
an energetic and worthy gontlomin of
Iowa. The latter , unaware of her terri
ble fate , came out to claim his bride.
The terrible news was only broken to
him on his arrival at her sister's ranch ,
on Elk creek. Ho waslicartbrokenaiid
faintel when ho learned it. The next
day ho started home. Throe dnys after
reaching which , the telegraph brought
news of his death the heart strings
wcro strained too hard and broke.
Eighteen years ago a family of Hol
landers , comstlng of father , mother and
live daughters , arrived in the state of
Michigan ami located in the village of
Schoolcraft. The parents wcro taken
sick , the mother died and the father
unable to speak a word of English , was
not expected to live. The kind-hearted
villagers not knowing what better to
do , sent the children to the orphan's
school at Ouldwater , from which each
ono was adopted by some family and
taken to various parts of the United
States. After a time the father recov
ered , and acquiring a knowledge of the
English language , began a search for
his children. His efforts were in a few
years crowned with success. All of the
children , except ono daughter , whoso
whereabouts bafllod search until a week
or so ago , were restored to him. Hardly
moro than twenty days ago the father
learned his daughter was a resident of
Deadwood. Correspondence was at
once opened with people who knew her ,
of separation and estrangement for
years , are about to bereunited.

What Is astir where the shadows are dense ?
Something that bafllcs the curious scnso :
Something that shimmers and whispers and
siijlis ;
Something that glimmers to far-reaching
eyes ;
The sliapo of a song , or the soul of n stream ,
Or a belni ? nwako from a beautiful dream
Is throbbing anil glancing and making pro-
luilo
In the reverent heart of the reverend wood.
Is it a word that I never have heard !
Is It a hint of a jubilant bird
That never wus hinted before ?
Oh 1 whut can It bo that Is now in the wood ,
Tnat thrills with its .meaning , but half un
