The Tyrannical Eastern Monarchy and
Beneficent Western Reptiblie Talk or
an Alliance—It Least the Russian Sail-
ors and Yankee Jingo Journalists Fo_
vor Such a Scheme.
Three Russjan cruisers of large dimen-
sions and heavy armament are now anchored
in New York harbour, much to the delight
of certain feather -headed journalists of that
city, who build upon the circumstances a
strange and wonderful ,erection of prognos-
tication. The Admiral Nachimoff, the
Dimitri Donskoi, and the Rynda are a sort
of supplement to the naval review that
took place in connection with the Colum-
bian celebration. It is said that -the auth-
orities who control the Russian navy were
not satisfied with the splurge they made on
that occasion, and that they felt that the
wind was somewhat taken out of their sails
by the British squadron. Accordingly
they determined to have a naval demon-
stration all to themselves, and they are
now making it with their three big ships
in New York harbour. A great deal of
hob-nobbing is going on between the Rus-
sian officers and officers of the United
States navy which is apparently giving a
good deal of pleasure to both, and some
of the newspapers, contrary to ordinary
usage, are serving up the things the
nautical men say, adding deductions
of their own, and weaving the circum
stances together in a highly romantic
and heroic way, which no doubt is very
pleasing to impulsive and thoughtless peo
pie. As a rule the talk of soldiers and
sailors is not considered by men of affairs
as of much consequence, since the business
of soldiers and sailors is not to talk, but. to
obey orders and to fight and the more they
" shoot off their mouth "—to use an expres-
sive colloquialism—the less are they likely
to shoot off anything else with effect. A
paragraphist of the New -York Times, how-
ever, takes the talk of certain swash-buck-
lering nautical men aboard these Russian
ships with profound seriousness, and treats
t as if it were the utterance ot -a diplomat
empowered to say something. To begin
with, the New York Times evolves from its
own consciousness the news that the Rus-
ian Government is going to maintain a
permanent fleet of warships in United
States waters. Then copies of the paper
ontaining this remarkable intelligence
nd their way aboard the Russian ships.
They are followed by the enterprising
sung man from the Times office, who is
nxious first to observe the effect of the
idings on the Russian officers, and then
o record their remarks upon it. We are
old that the officers were delighted with
he news, and at once began a conversation
n a probable impending alliance between
he United States and Russia. Inasmuch,
hey declared, as England is the " nat-
ral enemy" of the United States and the
realest enemy Rusaia possesses, then the
nited States and Russia are by the nature
f things bound in friendship against a com•
on foe. They gravely argued on the signs
hat " all point to Russia and the United
tates finally possessing the entire world."
hen they relapsed into the friendliest
maidsof conversation. Two old over their
tea could not have been more confidential.
"You have," said one prominent officer in
the Russian fleet to the New York Times'
representative, "your wild West. We
• iad have our wild East. You are settling up
!-I,4 and developing the wild West. We are
ce.e9; doing likewise with our wild East. Soon
ec; , your wild West and our wild East will
meet. The meeting will be to your west -
177.P ccyward and to our eastward. Who knows
cp but that some day our two countries may
be neighbours and meet, save for the inter -
$1.1 vening Atlantic, to your eastward and toour
westward?" That " save for the interven-
ing Atlantic" is a fine and artless touch. It
a, apparently means that some day Russia

opes to get her warships into the Medi-
rranean, which she cannot do now, and to
ipe out the map of Europe in a compre-
nsive manner. But a few things would
ppen before that could take place.
Waiving the general absurdity of this
ind of talk on economic grounds, and the
ild improbability of the United States
iarrelling with some ot their best custom-
s, the incongruity of an alliance between
e republic to the.south of us and the half-
vilized and benighted despotism of the
uscovite is what is likely to strike the
erage reader as the most remarkable
ature of these prognostications. The
crimes of the house of Romanoff tower to
the heavens, and may be said to exceed the

il deeds of any dynasty against the liber -
es of mankind. It is officially announced
at it is the policy of the Russian Govern-
ent to " Russify Russia," at any cost of
man misery; that it intends, in fact, vio-
ntly to compel its whole population to
ink in Russian, to profess the orthodox
ussian faith, and to live after the Russian
anner in all things, as distinguished
om the manner of " the West.") The
est, indeed, is only mentioned officially
th abhorrence, and is declared to be
inted not only with Liberalism, but with
bits of tkought as to the constitution of
ciety utterly inconsistent with the ideas
ich it is the mission of Holy Russia to
ffuse. In order to see how cruelly this
rk of despotism has been carried on, we
ve only to turn to the history of the Fin-
ders, the Poles, the Russian Jews, and
e Stundists, in which its record is ttaced
characters of blood and tears. How any
sort of an alliance could ever be arranged
between a despotism the basis of Which io
the supposed divine, right of one man to
govern millions, irrespective of law or ad-
ministration, and a country like the United
States, which professes to believe in liberty
and progress, is a difficulty which must
sometimes occur even to the amus'ng writer
who describes the Russia -n warships and
their officers in the New York Times.
The Place Was Open.
A runaway darky, before the war,- was
on his way to Canada, and was met by a
countryman, who questioned him as to the
treatment he had received at the hands of
his master.
" Didn't you have enough to eat ?" the
countryman asked.
"And a warm place to sleep'?"
11 yes."
"Then what did you run away for ?"
" Say, boss," the darkr replied, "if you
think you'd like the place it's open to
T te Adventures of a Man -Eating Tigress.
A correspondent of the Allahabad
" Pioneer," writing on man-eating tigers,
mentions the career of a young tigress who,
in thespace of nine months, killed some
dozens of human beings, depopulated sev-
eral villages, and stopped work over a
greater part of the forest -division in spite
of the most strenuous efforts made to de-
stroy her—efforts increased by the incen-
tive of 500 rupees reward offered for her
head. She began her career in July by
killing two women
NEAR A FOREST VILLAGE,
and by the end of the following December
had killed at least thirty persons, becoming
bolder and more cunning with each fresh
murder. Her beat lay in the foot hills of
the Himalayas, anti she roamed over an area
of twenty-five miles long by three or four
broad. The country was such that she
could neither be tr acked for any distance
nor driven by elephants or beaters. She
would not kill a tied buffalo, nor would
she go back to a corpse if ence disturbed.
She became at last so bold that she would
in open daylight carry off men and women
when cutting the crops in the terraced
fields, stalking the unfortunates from above
and suddenly springing on them. The
terror of her ferocity spread through the
country. The villagers left their homes for
safer regions, and no wonder, for the
writer -- found on one occasion a village
seemingly deserted, but in reality in a state
Of siege, the inhabitants being afraid to
draw water from a stream a hundred yards
from their houses. Work was commencing
in the forests, and in a short time the
tigress learned to stalk the sound of an axe,
and made many victims bef ore the forest
was proved to be
EVEN MORE DANGEROUS
than the fields had been. The method of
attack adopted was so sudden as to prevent
any possibility of escape, the blow dealt so
deadly as to render even a cry for help im-
possible. The victim was dead and carried
off before his companions knew what had
occurred. The most strenuous efforts were
made for her destruction --poison, spring
guns, and dead falls were ineffectually re-
sorted to, any number of buffaloes were tied
up at night, and many a time the fresh trail
of a kill was taken up in hopes of obtaining
a shot at the tigress, but with no further
result than that of recovering a mangled or
halt -eaten corpse. During January and
February this tigress had killed fifteen to
twenty more persons, and at teat a file of
soldiers were requisitioned to see what force
could do to remove this horrible animal,
cunning having been found of no avail. On
being killed she was found to be a young
animal, in pernct condition ; the pad of
her left forefoot had at one time been deep-
ly cut from side to side, but had thoroughly
healed, leaving, however, a deep scar, which
proved her presence wherever she roamed.
The writer mentions one instance, in which
two cowherds, living in a small grass but in
a somewhat wild forest, were cooking their
food in the evening when
A TIGER SUDDENLY SPRANG
on one and carried him off. His companion
intimidated the arrimal with shouts, and
threats, and succeeded in making him leave
his victim. Carrying his wounded com-
panion into the hut, the man closed the
entrance and waited for daylight. But
this he never saw, for, after a time, the
tiger, emboldened by the increasing dark-
ness, returned, and, forcing his way into
the hut, carried off the uninjured man, who -
was doubtless dcing all he could to prevent
the tiger's approach. The other who was
first seized died of his wounds and of terror
the next day, after relating the story to
those who had found him. Of the man-
eaters I have known, continues the corre-
spondent, none have been old or decrepit
animals, driven to feed on human beings
because they could not obtain other food.
They lived in a country full of game, and
where cattle were plentiful, but they had
lost their fear of man, and, trusting in their
superior strength and cunning, had no
difficulty in satisfying their hunger. At
the same time they seemed to recognise
that an armed man was dangerous, and that
they must be doubly on their guard to avoid
falling into the trap. It is this apparent
knowledge of man and his habits, amount-
ing in some instances almost to reason, that
renders a man-eating tiger so terrible.
A Short -Sighted Sportsman.
" You have seen some queer occurrences
in your time, Brown ?" remarked a country
gentleman, as his old keeper saluted him
prior to their setting out for a morning's
sport.
" That I have, air !"
" Some amusing ones, no doubt ?"
" Yes, sir ; I had a queer adventure this
season with a gentleman whom I took for
a university professor. We went out
into one of your coverts, sir, together, but
somehow got separated before the professor
bagged anything. I didn't miss him long
before I was suddenly disturbed by the re-
port of a gun, and instantly I felt the grass
move about my feet. Then I saw the pro-
fessor about seventy yards off ;' and he
couldn't see me. I shouted just as he was
about to fire again, and rushed towards
him."
" Surprised him, eh ?" laughed she coun-
try gentlemen.
" Nettled him, sir ! 'Idiot,' he shouted,
you have scared a beautiful pair of rab-
bits.'
A pair o' rabbits, Brown ?".
" You see, sir, the learned old gentleman
had been: taking my leather gaiters for a
