RUSSIA'S NEW FROST.
From St. Petersburg a grimly humorous story is reported.
A Moscow journal submitted an article to the censor announcing the fall of Port Arthur, but the article was so altered that the words capitulation' or 'fall of Port Arthur wore substituted by the word *frost. In the paper next day the follow- ing appeared :——
The mighty event of the day, which will plunge millions of men into despest grief, is the-frost.
Alf Russia will go into mournning, not the official mouring, which we hate, but the sorrow of injured national pride, on account of the terrible-frost.' ·
· Japan will rejoice about the frost, and she is fully justified to be proud of her
success.
