Itusslan Factory Operatives. [San Francisco Chronicle.] And whither go tho operatives when they leave the scene of their daily labors? It h very rare to find in the neighborhood JftuBMn factories sufficient house room for the people employed in them. Iu tho rovemment of Moscow there is only lodg ing accommodation for onc sixtli of the operatives. The remaining five-sixths deep where they*work, either on the bare boards or heaps of refuse. Xu tho summer time, when the weather permits, they deep under tho stars—and that is decidedly the better place, fbr iu the factories there is no provision for either decency or health. The people lie together pell-mell, covered ouly with the filthy rugs they wear during the day. When the wCatllcr is warm, spinners and self-actor winders often, when at work, dispense with cloth ing altogether. Tho few who seek lodg ings outside the factories are not much better off than those who remain inside. They arc obliged to take tho cheapest quarters they can £nd and put up with . whatever accommodation they can obtain -vermin-infected garrets, damp and I gloomy corners of stables and the filthiest of filthy cabins. “Let us,” says M. Lopatina, “take a glance at the house of M. Skoroboga- toff, who lets lodgings to factory bands. The court by which we enter is a mero ditch, filled with unmention&blo abomina tions. The house itself is a wretched hovel about twenty feet long, in wh|ch lodge twenty-seven men, who sleep as they can round a huge stove which occu pies nearly one-half of tho principal and almost tho only room. All the corners are filled with sacks of fiour, for Bkoro- bogatoff keeps a store, and under the flour arc stored a lot of sour cabbages, which create a sickening smell. Thcionly tables are a few empty up-ended herring barrels, the onlv seats a few greasy boards, the only windows three or four unglazcd holes, whioh command a view of a stink ing slaughterhouse on the other side of the court.” The Confederate Battle Flag. [Washington Cor. Cleveland Loader.] I saw Gen. Joe Johnstou on the street today. lie is as straight as an arrow, and tho onlv sign of ago is seen in his •ffity gray hair, which flows In silvery ram almost to his shoulders, and in his full gray beard. Otherwise be might pass for a young man. His dignified step is firm, his eyes bright, and his health ap parently perfect. lie is now ?7 years of ■ge. but he does not look over CO. He lives on Connecticut avenue, ono of the •well streets of the capital, and Is, I sup- P°«, in comfortable circumstances. Jjdhd upon him to ask him about the origin of the Confederate battle flag now over a year ago. Ho told mo then t haf ft* only Partially his design. Said he: At the battle of Manassas—you north- ernen ‘rail it Bull Hun—the stars and bars Proved a failure been use-they were no tnuch like the Union colors, Indeed, both JJ™«mi»took their enemies for friend*.. Si*** feres. After the battle I resolved to,discard tho flag and called for each reg iment to procure its state colors. Thin were not able to do, and I asked the hew designs. Among those pre sented, one by Ueu. Beauregard was chosen, and I altered this only in making »square instead of oblong. This flag tyus utenvard adopted by tho Confederate H®** generally. It was a Greek cross of “®e on a ted field, with white stars on the 5fy!*r* This flag was designed by a Jfh Walton, of Louisians, and by him Presented to Gen. Beauregard.

They know when deer will be found in the swamps, when they seek the elevated ridges, and when they need be looked for ouly iu the vqjloys ami gorges. If a snow storm is gathering tho hunter knowt it is useless to expect to start a deer on the ridges, for at least three days before such a storm the instinct of the animal warns il of its approach, and the deer leave the hills aud enter theswami*, where they huddle together unti| .Hhe storm has come and gone. . If the weather grows; colder after the storm they again Ueek tho MBs. - A deer’s eyesight is not sharp, but its senses of smell aud heariqgare most acute. The snapping of a twig will startle the game and-seud it Hying over tho hills be fore the hunter U within gunshot, aud the gentlest breeze blowing.from the' hunter will curry notice of his presohec to the sensitive nostrils of the deer, although it maybe half a mile away. The ap proach upon a deey must therefore always be against the wind. No matter how strong or cutting the blast the hunter must face it as he stalks or he will never be re warded by the sight of a deer even, to say nothing of his getting a shot at ouq. Ou rainy days. When the icavei ire wet and packed to the earth, it is p6* >iblc for war’ and r- experienced hunters to approach jvithiu a few feet of the ,/ame without their presence being known. The hunters are particularly expert at hunting of this kind, and It is not unoommon for them to steal to-within twenty feet of the largest bucks on days when the npise of their footsteps is deadened by the damp leaves. Although tho laws of Pennsylvania pro hibit the funning of deer with dogs, these old hunters certainly take dogs with them to the woods—“for company,” thoy Fay. They seem to bG very particular, howevor, in the choice of breed of their canine company. Qniy dogs that paturc has been prodigal ..Withfln_tUe .matter of ear, arid quite liberal as to voice are permitted to enjoy the hospitality of the veteran’s camp. They say tbev have no us< dogs in tbc chase, its Bill Beam, a noted deer-huntcr, can run all day bet ter than a lioufifl; * and wlion once on the trail of a wounded deer never gives up until lie cobies up with tlio’ game. This great endurance of Hearn’s is well known among the hunters, and many stories of .his long runs after wounded dter aro related. Me is particularly fond of telling how ho wounded a buck some years ago, and it got away. He started on its trail and followed it nine hours on a steady run before he ran the gnme down The ’course the deer had takeu led bin back to within gunshot of where Remir hud first shot it. lie had fallowed tin trail ovfer forty miles? An Actor YFlio Doesn’t Swear. [Chicago Nows.] • “No, ” said a young actor who had been talking to a little group of companion* and using a good many oaths in his con versation, “no;, oil people who -play are not profane. At least 1 know one r,ctor who doesn't swear. He is George Miin, the $x-preacher. I ;played third witch in “Macbeth” in his company one. night in St.' Paul. Burleigh played Mqc- both and Mila played Macduff. Wheu we itches went on In the caldron scene wo ere all fixed up in flrst-class style, and we did the wholo business as nice as any three witches ever did it. But whou ft came timo for tho caldron to sink into tho earth tho trap-door stuck fast, and the old soap kettle tipped over sidewise and soil led nil the torpedoes, and green fire and tilings all over the floor. Tho. stage got into a blaze, somebody shouted ‘Firc!~ and tho audience began to get frightened. “Burleigh stood in the wings, swearing like a trooper, but Miln just stood around, looking mad. and saying ‘Oh? dear 1’ I got to laughing and so did tbo other witches. Somebody turned ou tbc gns and showed the wholo thing to the audience Tho audience yelled with laughter, and Burleigh swore worse than ever, but Miln didn’t do any swearing. Then another time in Kansas City I was, playing the secretary to Miln’s Bichclieu. 1 dressed for the part iu a hurry and didn’t take time to put on stngo shoes. I had on a long robo and thought I was all right. So I advanced to the front of the stage, struck an attitude, and began to look as pictur esque as I could. Richelieu was in the middle of a long speech when some fellow the gallery yelled out; ’Get onto his noliain light-topped shoes!* .That broke the audicucc up and spoiled the speech. But Miln didn’t iwear any—ho only looked moil. Any other nctor would have sworn under his breath for flve minutes. ” 200 VALUABLE Americus Recorder TO ITS ADVANCK PAYING SUBSCRIBERS.
