The Paris “ Globe ” publishes the following telegram from Odessa: —“ The transport ship which left this port recently for Saghalin with a convoy of seven hundred Nihilists lost two hundred of them on the way from disease, occasioned by overloading and the absence of all sanitary precautions. One hundred and fifty pothers wore landed in an almost dying State. A second transport is being prepared under the same horrible conditions. A Kansas farmer purchased a revolver for hia wife, and insisted on target practice, so that she could defend the house in case of his absence. After the bullet had been dug out of bis leg and the cow buried, he said he guessed that she’d.better shoot with •a axe.
