[From the Patriot. } Sr. Perersnpure, April 5.
Mobilization has been ordered in the four remaining Russian military districts. Trilherndeoff has been appointed Comman- der-in-Chief of the Russian special corps, eon sisting of Cossacks and Horse Artillery. This corps Is destined to penetrate into the heart of Central Asia. The authorities here are certain of war with England, and they are making preparations thus early in order that po time may be lost after hostilities have been commenced.
The Montenegrins have been requested to prepare immediately for a renewal of hostili- ties.
A rupture between Russia and Roumania is now considered very probable. The latter has come to the determination to resist any attack, as she believes that the excitement in Hungary would compel Austria to enterfere.
Ignatieff is now far less hopeful that the Congress will meet. He thinks that, every- thing considered, Congress would only lead to war. There are a number of conflicting interests at stake in the Eastern Question which could only be settled by war, and it is impossible that any Congress could reconcile them.
Loxpon, April 5.
A uumber of jofficials of the *English Ad- miralty department have gone to Belfast for the purpose of superintending the equipment of a number of private steamers which are to be used as cruisers in case of war,
| Senator MacPherson on the Public
Expenditures.
Senarok MacPuerson has taken up the question in relation to the public expendi- ture of the Dominion. He wants té know how it is proposed to restore the equilibrium between income and expenditure. He feels it to be his duty to criticise the extravagance of the Administration, which centres at Ottawa and extends throughout the coun to its remotest bounds. The deficit of last year continues, and the equilibrium is as far from being restored as ever. There has been an increase in de ntal expendi- ture year by year until the present year, when it was claimed by the Goverament there had been an decrease, He considers, however, that while there has been a de- crease in some respects during the past year, there has been an increase in depart- mental expenditures in nearly every depart- ment. The decreases had amoun to $1,810,840, but of this sum the large item of $815,494 was in eonsequenee of cutting down expenditures on public works, such as public buildings, kwskors, yiens, ctc., which
ad been finished the year previous, and did not require expenditure last year; conse- quently it was not retrenchment. The ex- penditure on buildings at Battleford and Fort Pelly was enormous and uncalled for. He had been told, and he had no doubt in
| his own mind that it was a fact, that there
had been a systematic holding back of the ac- counts of expenditure in the Northwest, so that they would not get into the Public Accounts for last year, an expenditure of so enormous @ character that it might yet be a subject for a Royal Commission to enquire into. In piers and harbors there had been a reduction of expenditure last year, amounting ‘in all to $207,700. These har- bors, he supposed, were completed andl re- quired no further expenditure, so that he could net give the Government credit for retrenchment on these points. In the mounted police and light-house and coast service, there had been considerable re- duction, principally in salaries and maim- tenance. It showed that there must have been extravagance in 1875-6, when the ex- penditure for light-house and coast service had increased from $394,904 to $427,161, when in 1877 it could be reduced again to $391,000. He asked if the Government, as well as every thinking man in the country, does not know that it was impossible from the present sources of revenue to meet the deficits. He believes the Government are perfectly well aware of, and they must have some scheme of taxation which they have not communicated to Parliament, or to the cown- try— some unpopular scheme of income or land tax that they were afraid to make known for jear of turning the coming elections against them. tli le I 9 a
Sims REEvEs.—Sims Reeves, the famous English tenor, though elderly, is hale and ac- tive. He is described as a square-shouldered, thick-set man, rejoicing*st home in a suit of tweed of uncertain hue—between a tortoise- shell and a tabby—relieved by a rose-colored necktie, a turquoise and diamond ring, and a famous watch chain of mingled gold and coral. It is entirely to the sage counsel of the vener- able Mazzucato that the English tenor attri-
butes his long lease of voice. The method of the master may be explained in half a dozen words :—‘*We must keep the voice in the middle.” This is the secret of really fine tone, of the faculty of singing cantabile passages with effect, and of making a coup onahigh note when it is wanted. Nothing is more destruc- tive than perpetual excreise of the upper regus-
ter. wtb: 9 pvsi Bigos

Anecdote of Jefferson. Mr. Jeseph Jefferson is not only a consum- mate dramatic artist, but has gifts as a painter and speaker. the dinner recently given to him and his son-in-law, Mr. Farjeon, at the Lotus Club,he made a. few remarks which were quite pat on the occasion. He apolo- gized for using technical terms, but asserted that it was an unconscious habit contined to no single profession or calling. He illustrated it by referring to aremark of a railroad conduc- tor, who, after seeing “Rip Van Winkle,” talked with the actor on the train, not on the merit of the star, but on the construction of the story. He said to Jefferson, ‘‘I couldn’t see how you were going to get round it when you fousd Gretchen had switched off on to another fellow.” The actor then spoke. of former days, when he and ¢his associates al- ways made money enough in the winter to spend in giving plays at Reading in the sum- mer. ‘‘In fact,” said he, ‘‘ the people of Read- ing expected it of us every year.” On one o¢ cassion the manager, who had a talent for making speeches before the curtain, rushed out in grief and distraction to apologise for the absence of the leading man. ‘‘Ladies and. gentlemen the fact is, our tragedian’s father is dead. Under these circumstances, | threw myself on your generosity, faithfully assuri you, if you will overlook his fault, that it shall never happen avain.”

The Dangers of “ Pig-tails.”
Around the monkey’s cages and the giraffes’ pen in the Aquarium in New York are posted various notices to ladies, warning them not to approach too near, lest the animals seize their bonnets ; yet the attendants say it frequently occurs that some lady disregards the notices and her millinery suffers damages. Recently, however those in the Aquarium were startled by a sudden crash of broken china from the erase room, and hastened thither were greeted with a remarkable sight, The noise, or so much of it as did not consist of the chat. tering of the animals, came from the mouth of an almon-eyed oriental gentleman, in a blue blouse and black trousers. He stood with his back to the cage in which the largest monkeys are kept, and with both his hands'to his head, was 8 ling to tear himself away. He was
try | firmly held, however, by the pig-tail, which,
firmly attached by nature to the back of his head at one end, was almost as firmly grasped at the other by as many monkeys as could get hold of it. e one at theend uibbled com- placently at the neat bow4 of ribbon that se- cured the hair, and the others were blasphe- ming vigorously in their native tongue. As quickly as they could, from laughter, the at- tendants opened the door, and on enteri beat off the monkeys and rescued the gentle- man. He shook his fist vindictively at the cage, and hurried away without leaving his card, while the baffled apes made din enough te induce the seals, the hippopotamns, and all the birds to jein the chorus.

The Laughing Hyena.
The laugh of the Hyena is a misnomer, as it has no laugh at all, thugs certainly when heard at some distance it has a great resem- blance to the la of some humans; but it is no laugh, in fact just the contrary, as it is only when in anger or terribly excited that he thus lifts up his voice. Watch him then as he. paces round and round his eage! See aow the. rough hair or inane which runs all along the dorsal line bristle up. No other animal pre- sents such a peculiar back bone appearance. See his sharp fangs exposed, his eyes flashing, and his whole frame in spasmodic action, and all because his keeper has given his next-door neighbor his portion of meat, while as yet none to Thith ; and yeu will readily perceive that, these discordant sounds are the result of rage and unsatisfied desire, and in no way related to merriment or gleeful mirth. It has been supposed by some that the hyena is rather a cowardly brute, but it is a mistake, as his courage is quite equal to his voracity. Man he will not attack except in self-defence, or when driven to desperation for food, but he will wage fierce war against quadra much larger than himself. He fears neither kingly lion, the wily panther, nor the fieree ounce ; and by either stealthy attacks or i manoeuvring, the hyena seldom fails to con- quer his foes. The most serious charge against the hyena seems to be that of robbing the graves of theirdead, and feeding on putrid meat, which charges are doubtless true. im those lands where other food is scarce; but certain it is that in the Zoo our hyena, be he striped or spotted, will not touch any pound of flesh or bone that is “high.” Perhaps im- prisonment has taught the brute better habits. As to the charge that he is untameable, we have said he ean be made a companion of, and most travellers and naturalists now agree im | the statement. Stealman says, “At the Co | (Africa) {the spotted hyena (considered the | most untameable) is domesticated in the houses, where he is preferred to the dog for sagacity and even qualifications for the chase.” There is a saying of some one that “every kind of heast is tamed, and hath been tained of mankind ;” and pronenny the hyenas of either variety are as fully susceptible of kindness and as capable of education as other wild and fero- cions heasts.

Send that man to Burlington; we'll pay his expenses, guarantee a two weeks’ en- gagement, and furnish revolvers and ammuni- tion. All we want is the man.—Burlington Hawke ye.
