Russia’s Troubles.
Tho Vienna correspondent of the London Times says :—‘* According to accounts from St. Petersburg, the Russian Government recalled its mission from Afghanistan be- cause of its increased friendly attitude to-
wards England and because a peaceful)
policy has now attained the ascendency. But other information, which comes indi- rectly, suggests that certain other circum- atances contributed to the result; firstly, the rapid advance of the British in Afghan- istan, and the fact that the precarious situa-
tion of the Ameer promised to render the position valueless and it might be a source of unpleasant complication. But by eon- senting to the withdrawal of the mission, Russia would appear to be making a gracious concession while really taking a timely pre- caution. Again, the news reaching us of the internal state of Russia is of such a na- ture as to make inteligible the Pacific ten- dency of the (Government. Reports are full of the reappearance of the Nihilist spectre. Whether real or imagin- ary, the spectro is believed in, and at- tampts are being made to hunt it down by measures of repression. All sorts of Nihil- ist demonstrations are apprehended, one said to be planned for December 26th, the anniversary of the outbreak on the ac- cession of the Emperor Nicholas in 1826. The police are busy everywhere tracking the conspirators, and within the last week a number of arrests are said to have been made. Quite a raid is being made against the students who wanted to present a peti- tion to the Heir Apparent, and it is even rumored that the Government is seriously thinking of closing the universities for this year. ‘The police in St. Petersburg are en- forcing all the repressive regulations in their power, auiong them, an interdict from carrying arms.”
If this statement be true, the policy of Beaconsfield is again vindicated.

Revision of the German Tariff.
LETTER FROM BISMARCK TO THE FEDERAL COUNCIL.
—_—_—_--——_——
Berlin advices state that Bismarck has addressed a long letter to the Federal Coun- eil, explaining his views relative to the guiding principles in the revision of the Customs tariff. The letter concludes :—
Our own interests alone ought to deter- mine our action. These interests will per- haps shortly lead to fresh negotiations re- specting tariff treaties with foreign coun- tries. If these negotiations are to have a prospect of a beneficial result, it will first be necessary to create an autonomous Customs
‘em, placing all our home products in
e most favorable possible position in re-
lation to articles of foreign production.
Bismarck’s letter recommends a virtual return to the Prussian Customs legisiation of 1818, and the Zollverein tariff system valid until 1865—a return to the principle of duties on all imports except raw materials indispensable for home industry and which Germany does not produce at all, such as cotton, or produces in insufficient quantity. It is announced that Bismarck and the Prussian Financé Minister have arrived at an agreement relative to reform in the sys- tem of taxation.
Tus British Columbia journals call at- tention to the scheme of Capt. McDonald, of San Francisco, to train Indians for fron- tier service. The adaptability of the ab- originees for service on the plains is urged to be proved by the success which has at- tended the organization of some of the mountain tribes by ths British in India. ‘‘Robust and trained natives (not to be compared in physique with the American Indian) are plodding their way to certain victory,” writes the Captain, ‘‘led by Anglo-Saxons, and only the slow move- meuts of the hand of time retard the plant- ing of the banner of St. George and the Dragon upon every peak and in every, canyon held by the Ameer.” The proposal | of Captain McDonald to raise a: Trlian. regiment is being considered by General | Sherman, and the experiment will pre’ ably | be made.

A revolution in naval architecture may result from the successful experiments | which have been made with the new English | ironclad ‘‘ Inflexible.” This vessel is con- structed on anew design, the old model having been abandoned in favor of an elon- | gated, diamond-shaped figure. On a trial — a speed of fifteen knots was obtained, and the inventor, Mr. Froude, claims that twenty knots will become an average speed. The subject is receiving considerable atten- tion from the owners of passenger and freight eeerne it is expected that some experimental vessels of the new
will be constructed. aan oer

The Arson Case.
FURTHER DEVELOPEMENTS. Tuurspay, Dec. 26. Marvin Hecxegrr—I am Section Fore- man from Royalty Janction 63 miles west.
‘i am section master for nearly three years.
About two years ago there were some board: laced on the track about a mile east o! Milton Station. They were picked up be- ore the train came along, and were put op wain, and the train went over them ana ut them in two. Lt waa Malcolu McKin- aon took them off. MeKinnon’s farm ad- jvins the farm of Charles Stewart. i do aot know the prisoner Rapsom. Two days ifter the obstruction was placed on the track, I met a young man walking down the track, as I did not think hima very good looking man, I ordered him off the track. The young man that I ordered stayed at Mr. Chas. Stewart's.
Wiuuiam Yeo—I am aware that Mr. Sellar’s dog was set fire to by kerosene. 1 was walking to Mr. George Dockendorff's on the evehing of the same. He said he
did no harm to Mr. Sellar’s other than he
uad a hand in burning the dog.
To Mr. Shaw—As near as I can mind we had no further conversation about the mat- ter. I swear [ never accused any person of shooting the dog unless Herrell or George Dockendorff. 1 never thought it was any- other person shot the dog. Inever said a man named Roper shot the dog—that is to the best of my knowledge. I never charged Roper with doing it.
Grorck Wuire—I am a brother-in-law of the Dockendorff's. I was at singing at the lower North River school-house on the night of the first fire. It broke up between nine and ten o’cleck. came home as far as ourfarm. I did not see Charles coming home. I knew nothing at all about the second fire till next day. 1 saw a bee-hive at Benj. Dockendorff’s about two years ago. I don’t know where he got that beehive. I know nothing about shav- ing the horses tails.
Bens. Docxenporrr—At one mo my- self and brother George kept ‘‘bachelor's hall” at North River. Myself and brother lived together a year. During that time I used to sleep at my father’s. After the new house was built we lived together. He went to my father’s and I continued to oc- cupy the house. 1 know nothing about the fire other than what I heard people say, nor about shaving the horse’s tat!s other than that 1 heard parties were accused. I had an altercation with George Essory about something that had been stolen from Me- Donald’s ‘Seven Mile House.” I saw the stolen things on James Crosby’s sleigh. I don’t know where James Crosby is now. Crosby and I were accused for steal- ing the goods. After the things were stolen we drove away and hid the horse in a bush; we then went back and the parties who owned the goods met us and told us unless we would give up the goods they would lock usup. I did not give them any satisfaction. We then ran toward town, and they ran after us and took us back to McDonald’s. I did not make them any wiser about the goods. They found out where the goods were and took them. I denied all about the matter next day. Mr. Stockman found traces and harness belong- ing to him in my brother's stable where Crosby’s horse was. The traces were found on Crosby’s harness. Crosby’s horse was put up for the night. When we were going home that night, Crosby had no harness on the horse nor in the sleigh but his own. Crosby owned to stealing the harness away.
Grorart Essory—It was four or five years ago on Christmas Eve that we were at ‘Seven Mile House.” About six o’clock in the evening Crosby and Dockendorff came in and asked for a feed of oats for their horse. About eight o’clock the people who were in the house said their sleighs were robbed. We then went to search for the things and saw two fellows running across the tields ; we caught them and took them to the ‘Seven Mile House,” and kept them separate. We hunted through the bushes and found different things which they hid. We then went down the road and found a track leading intoa bush ; we followed, and found the stolen goods on an old sleigh. Crosby afterwards acknowledged stealing the goods. Dockenderff held out, but lat- terly confessed and said that he and Crosby stole the things ; that they had just come from town, with no other intention than carrying on devilment. He then said let us “‘squash” this. Iam net sure whether he offered any money for doing so. It rested there, and they were never prosecut- ed for it.
[This was another case of larceny, which had been brought to light in the investiga- tion. Benj. Dockendorff, who was an ac- complice ef Crosby, was arrested and will be prosecuted for the larceny. ]
ABRAHAM Rapsom re-examined—I ain con- fined in jail for stealing a coat from Isaac Henderson. I lived at Sandy McKinley’s— next farm to the Dockendorffs—about a mouth. I had noacquaintance with the Dock- endorffs save one day we were threshing at White’s. George was there, and that is how I came to know him. I did not live at the North River except at Rodd’s. I did not send
for any money to the North River to fee a lawyer when I was taken up for stealing the coat. I never got any money from the Dock-
endorffs. I was telling Fred. Davy some lies one night while wo were locked up in the cell in _ jail.
He was telling lies, and so was MeNevin. I thought I could make up a lie and tell it as well as they could. We talked of the Docken- dorffs because McNevin said they were wild béys. I don’t know what I told them exactly. I know nothing of how the fire was started. I was in jail at the time of the second fire. [ don’t know how the horses’ tails were shaved. I was hauling coal from Mr. Seller’s this fall. 1 was in town three or four days before I was arrested for stealing the coat. I did not hear of the fire till | heard of it in jail. After I left Rodd’s I was two or three days in the country before I came to town. I staysd at FitzPatrick’s, acfoss the road from Rodd’s. I was not drunk while there. I heard nothing about the fire while there. Fitz- Patrick’s is about four miles from Seller's. I
/ was away to Morell one day and stayed there}
George Dockendorff
all night. I got off at Royalty Junction and walked back to kodd’s, It was Saturday when I went to Morell. (How could he get back in the train on Sunday. )
Wx, StockMaN--I live at east side of the North River, about five miles from Benjamin Dockendorff’s. I had harness taken from my sleigh at Geo. Mutch’s in this city. I recov- ered the harness from Ben}. Dockendorff's stable. I was telling a man about losing the sarness and he told me of seeing them’ on a iat ‘Seven Mule House.” According to what the person told me I suspected that it was Ben). Vockendorff's, and 1 went straight to the place and found the harness.

Destitution in England. TERRIBLE SUFFERINGS OF THE POOR IN EAST LONDON.
The returns of the Union workhouse in East London are beginning to show the ex- istence of wide-spread poverty and distress in that part of the city. The 2pplicants for relicf are so numerous thatthe ‘‘House” accommodation is inadequate. At Shoredith the workhouse and infirmary is full. Beth- nal Green workhouse has 1,059 inmates. In Hacknev there are 1,416 indoor poor. The visitation of the district visitors discloses a vast amount of distress, and the charitable funds at their disposal are utterly in- sufficient. This is especially the case at Poplar and Milwall, where one thousand of the dock and other labourers are out of em- ployment. Spitsfield, Limehouse, South Hackney, Shadwell and Haggersten are severely feeling the acuteness of the winter. The tradesmen of the entire eastern dis- tricts of the metropolis are crying out about the badness of trade, and even Christmas wares are a heavy drug in the market. So severe is the distress in Haggerston that a committee will be formed for the relief of cases of extreme necessity, but it will be greatly crippled through want of funds.
