I was once a diver—not s wrecker, but a pearl diver—and hard business it was, recently observed the captain of a Spanish brig to a reporter of the California Times. We worked off the Mexican and Panama coasts, princi- pally on the Pacitic side, Sometimes we worked alone, but generally on shares, and sometimes for pay. We went to the grouuds in small sailin veesels, then we took to the smal baats and covered as much ground as possible, Each man had a basket, a weight, and a knife. For sharke? Yes, but it is a poor dsfense, for it is almost 1mpossible to swing the arm with any forcounder water. The best weapon & short spear. When you rezch the ground you strip, put your feet in a big sinker, take the basket that has a rope for hoieting, drop over, und soon find yourself at the bottom, Thon your business is to knock off as many oyster as you can, and pile them iuto the basket before you lose your wind, It is a terrible s/rain, but I could etand 1t in those (syas for six minutes, and I have kuown some rmen who could stay down ten; but it is death in the long run, If the ground is well stocked, you can get 30 or more shells, bat it is all luck, When the basket is full it is hauled up, and after you come up for your wiud, down you go again, the sinker being hauled up with a small cord for that purpose. It was on one of these trips that I ran afoul of the animal that gave mo a lasting fight. You will smils when I say it was only a star fish, but that it really was, 1 went down G0 feet with a rush, and, landing on the edge of a big branch of coral, ewang off into a sort of basin. The basket weut ahead of me, and as I swupg off to reach the bottom, something seemed to spring up all around me, and I was in the arms of some kiod of a monster that cotled about my body, arms and legs. T tried 1o sereaa, forgot that T wasin the wa- ter, and lost my wind, It was just as if the planc had sprouted under me, and then threw its vines aud tendrils about m9, 'There were thcusands of them, coling and writhing, and I thought I had landed in & nest of sea-snakes, 1 gave the sigual as soon as I could, and made a break upward, part of the crcatures clinging to me, while the rest, I could see, was dropping to pieces. They hauled me into the boat when I reached the surface, and pulled the main part of the antmal from me, It was oval, about three feet across, and the five arms seemed to divide into thousands of others. I probably landed on top of that one, which a% that time was the largest I had ever seen, I afterward saw the body of one that was washed ashore on the isthmus that must have had a spread of 35 feet. Their power of grasping is considerable, but touch them 1n a cer- tain way snd they throw off their arms in a regular shower, and are soon re- duced to an oval body." THE RACING RATE WAR.

Nearly Doubled in Ten Years— War Expenditure the Milistone. Letter o the London T.mes. Russia has concluded & new loan for £8,000,000, which brings up the total of her outstanding debt to £55; 000,000, taking her iuternal obli tions at the reduced rate of 24d. per ruble. What is most noteworthy is the fact that her debt has almost doubled since 1872, the anuual deficit OMAHA NEB. THURSDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 30 n her finances averaging £24,000,000, whereas during twenty previous years it was only £11,000,000 per annom. The following shows the income and expenditure for forty veara: 1843 52, ravenue £302,000 000, ex- ponditures £363,000,000, deficit £61, 000,000; 1853 62, revenue £376,000- 000, expenditure £484,000,000, deficit £108 000,000; 1863 72, revenue £417,+ 000,000, expenditura £522,000,000, defioit 106,000,000; 1873 82, revenue £615,000,000, expenditure £856,000,- 000, defioit £241,000,000; total reven- ue £1,710,000,000; total expenditure £2,226,000,000; total defioit £516,000, 000- Thus it appears that in the decade onding 1882 the expenditure has been just 40 per cent. over income. An- other decade of the same character would suffice to bring Russia to the brink of a precipice, and even at pros- ent the finanoe minister, Bunge, may sy to the czar, in Neckar's words to Bouis XVL: “The dangers that sur- round the throne are less social than financial,” The manner in which successive ministers have contrived to meet the above defigits has been three- fold, the met sums received into the exchequer, outeide of revenue, being: foreigu loauns, £164,000,000;. internal lonns, £260,006,000; uncovered paper issue, £91,5600,000; total, £526,000, 000. ‘2he nominal amount of foreign loans, including that of iast week, was £190,000,000, and the average price ot emiesion was a little over 82 Tho nominal interest on all existing toreign lonus of Russia is 4 62, which in eaual to 5 66 on the Mt amount re- celved, The internal loans carry for the most part b perocent., The un- covered paper money bears no inter- est. In the following may be seen the growth of thess three forms of publio debt: 1842, foreign 6 000,000 pounds sterung, internal 23,000,000, paper money 8,000,000, total 87,000,000; 18562, foreign 12,000,000, internal 61,- 000,000, paper money 22,000,000, total 95,000,000; 1862, foéign 41, 000,000, internal 99,000,000, paper money 61,000,000, total 202,000,00; 1872, foreiga 105,000,000, internal 133,000,000, paper money 74,000,000, total $12,000,000; 1882, foreign 189,- 000,000, iaternal 273,000,000, paper money 91,000,000, total 563,000,000. It is commonly suppoeed that moat of the debt has been caused by the constrvction of railways, but this is unhappily an error. The existing railwagn have cost £262,000,000, of which amount the government con- tributed just half, hoiding at present stocks aud debentures of the various lines to a nominal value of £132,000,- 000. Moareover, the government has paid on guarantees to shareholders £21,000,000, and if we add £2,600,000 for telegraphs we obtain a total of £1565,000,00 spent in this useful wenner, The rest has been wasted on ware, and the account stands thus: Railways and telegraph, £166, 000,000 Crimean war, £142,- 000,000; Tuarkish war, £133,- 000,000; Khiva, &e., £85,600,000; total, £516,000,000. The annual de- ficit to make up b per ccnt., as ga auteed by the povercment on rail- ways is under £6,000,000, or about 2} per cont. on capital; of this sum thy rernment to one-half to m:‘l‘;:nla:‘ingh:;- wtmbmdod abouv ing £8,000,000 yearly., War expenditure is tho millstone around the nation’s neck, and even Pr. . Bunge, skillful economist as he is, seems unable to check the tremen- dsua outlay or reduce the number of civil employes, who have quadrupled in ten years, The army and navy itoms for last yoar absorbed no less than £23,600,000, which is an enor- mous burden for a country where 92 per cent. of tho inhabitants are almost paupers. Some day or other the czar will find that tho debt has reached the ne plus ultra and it would be well to coosider seri- ously the expediency of resolving in future to reduce rather than increase tho obligations which (without count- ing railway guarantees) sum up as fol- lows: Foraign debt, £188 810,000; internal 5 por cent, £110,166.000; land and serfs b por cent, £83 317,000; credit notes b por cent, £7,960,000; Polish debt, £6 987 000; 1uternal 44 per cent, £21 600,000; internal 4 per cont, £28546,000; ternal 6 per cont, £4.365,000; uncovered paper monoy, £91,430,000; totsl, £653,181,- 000, ~ According to the officiul returns tho forelgn debt is put down at only £173,000,000, which, adding the new Jjoan of last weck, would bring it up to £181,000,000, but the real amount to ba £188 810,000, viz: to.

A Sketoh of the Bailding and Its Owners. Corrempondence of Onaha Bes. Prarrsmouns, Neb , Nov, 20, —~The opening night of Watorman's opera house is an event in the history of the city of Plattamouth. Ten yoars agq the wildest visionary would soarcely have dreamed that Plattamouth would ever boast a pub- lioc hull that would hold one thousand people, much less an opera house that would have a seating oapacity for that number and stage appointments that would equal those of many pretentious cities of ten times the population. The structure is an elegant three- story brick building, 66 by 120 feet, with Iron front and stone trimmings, surmounted by a handsome .cornice. The lower story ia divided into three atore rooms, one of which has béen leased by the government for a posts office. The main entrance in front of the building is very spacious, and the stairways on the aide of the building afford ample means of exi: when the performance in over and in cases of emergency. Messrs, H. A. Watorman & Son, the proprietors of the opera house, have spared no expense in fitting up the building with all modern appli- ances for heating aud lighting. Steam heaters radiate through the auditori- um and a gas machine expressly con- structed for this building supplies the illuminating fluid. The interior deo- orations have as yet not been comple- ted, honce those who attended the formal opening last night could not reulize the « floct that will be produced wheu the painters and decorators have got through their work. The troupe engaged for the opening night was the Fay Templeton opera company that had olayed at the opening of Boyd's opera house in Omaha last year and the same play, the Mascocte, was put on the boards. The performance, considering the usnal embarrassments of theatrical openings, was excellent, and a largo audience manifested their wpproval of the company by frequent and hearty applause, Boefore the last act Mr, W, A, Hart- 1gan, a prominent citizan of Platts- mouth, stepped onto the stage and presented the architect, George H, Thompson, a gold headed cane on be- half of the citizens and personal ad- mirers, Mr., Thompson was taken scmewhat by surprise, but regained sufficiant self possession to express his thanks in a neat little speech. -The curtain didnot drop until about midnight, and by the way I may as well acknowledge that the curtain is one of the handsomest pieces of artis- tio work thut has been touched by the brush of any painter. The audience went home delighted with the enter- tainment, A number of persons were present from the state capital and Omaha, Among the latter were Mr. J. G. Tay- lor, Arsistant Treasurer of the B, & M, Marshal E. L. Bierbower, E. Rosowater and Miss Nettie Colling aud Miss Nora Boyd, Harrassing the Mutual Union.
