RUSSIA VERSUS NEW YORK.
The New York papers of last mail carried a rather remarkable "'story." A Russian named Mark Seiboff, who' escaped from the convict mines in Siberia, announced that ho was tired of trj'ing to gain a livelihood in New York; that the competition was so great and the strain so hard that tho mines of Siberia were preferable (says the "Indianapolis News"). He had saved up his scant earnings until he had enough to get a ticket back to Russia, and he.was leaving to re-enter the mines. This is certainly not a glowing tribute to the land of great freedom from a man who has come out of that which is pictured as the on© of deep gloom and great tribulation. — ."Pittsburg Leader."
