TROUSERS A LUXURY.
MONKS GO ON STKIKE. i -London, Juno 21. A story comes from St. Petersburg: that the monks of St. Michael's Monastery at Maikop, in the Caucasus, havo gone on strike, demanding more food ami leisure, and a supply of trousers. Father Ambrosio, tho head of the monastery, refuses to grant tho demands. Tlio services of the monastery have, therefore. come to a stop. The holla are silent, ami the cloisters are forsaken. The monks quietly bore their privations under Father Ambrosio's harsh rule for many months, until lie refused to allow them to wear trousers, because ho regardOil thorn as an unnecessary luxury.—SydDOV «SUJO_V
