Someone writing from Odessa to the "Aha California" represents that the times are very hard there. That city is the great shipping port of Russia for grain for export. But it appears that rates of freight bave .been rti.ed to euch a Ggure tbat the business cannot stand it, with auy show of profi. to shippers. B.Bidee, and probaMy that accounts for tbe high rates charged — there is a scarcity of ships engaged in the business there. Odessa being at the northern extremity of the Bluck Sea, is a long distance frcm the markets of Europe, which are the chief cus'.oraers of the .Kussian wheat traders. He represents the condition of things not only in Odessa but throughout Sus-na as -deplorable. The war with Turkey has exhausted Kueeia's finances, arid ieft her miserably in debt — her paper money reduced from 80 to 50 cents por rouble ; prime Odessa wheat can be had for 50 to 56 cents per bushel ; freights having more than doubled — that is from 17s to 36a per ton. The writer thinks that Russia is in no condition to carry on a war of a-igreeeioa, and will not be for years. There is plenty of wheat in Southern Russia, bat the difficulty is io obt-noing ships for transportation to market at living rates to producers. Ii ia not to be wondered at if Russia has been maJe poor by the late war with Tuikey. it coßt her immensely — the expenses piid cbitfly with paper, which has depreciated rniuou.ly. If Germany h.3 already felt the touch of hard times aod scarcity of money, so soon after the Franco- Prussian war as has been reported, notwithstanding she forced France to pay her a thousand million of dollars, one cannot wonder if Russia fbels severely the pressure of the debt contracted in carrying on the Turkish war, from which she received, unlike Germany, no money compensation, nnd not much territory wor-.b mentioning. She despoiled Turkey, but it went for the bentfi- of other nation..

A St. Louis telegram to the Alia California Bays:— J. S. Parker, District Judge of the Western District of Arkansas, now here, makes an interesting statement of affairs in the Indiau Territory. When he went on the Bench in May, 1875, crime was very prevalent in the Territory. During the preceding years several hundred men were murdered in his jurisdiction' In one seotion ofthe Territory, between May and August, 1875, sixty-five wen were murdered. Of eighteen cases pending, he immediately senteijced eight, of whom seven were subsequently hanged on one gallows at Fort Smith. Five were sent to the Penitentiary. Since May, 1875, there has beon over 700 criminal trials. Thirty-two men have been found guilty and" sentenced to death ; and of these, nine have been commuted, six to life imprisonment ; the rest suffered. Tbe victims were whites, negroes and Indians. Crime has greatly decaeased in tbe Territory, owing to a vigorous enforcement of the law, and affairs are prosperous and thriving, chiefly owing to a red ribbon revival, which has largely abolished intoxicants, tbe bane of the Indian race.

Mre Mary Livermore says that girls Rre not particular enough about the man they marry; but there is a woman over in Chester who is so particular about the man she married, that she takes her sewing to his office and sits there all day till he is ready to go home. Nowhere in the world's history has it been before known, not in all the vocabulary of the men of science, nor in the Philosopher's store, the extraordinary and marvellous effect obtained by the steady and persevering use of " Ghollah's Great Indian Cubes." The maladies known as Rheumatism, Gout, Sciatica, Lumbago, Neuralgia, Liver Complaints, and Biliousness, are cured by these Indian Medicines in a manner never before witnessed . They can be had of all chemists, where see the testimonials of jnarvelioua
