i Suvoroff, struck by his shrewdness
kept his eye upon the man, and in ne
long time after actually gave him the
specified promotion.
Suvoroff always affected the utmost
brevity both in speaking and writing
the terseness Of his dispatches being
almost unriyaled. The correspondence
with Prince Potemkin, relative to the
assault of Ismail, is unique in military
hirtory. Potemkin, copying the breyity
of his general, wrote tohim thus: MAR.
shall, you will take Ismail within three
days. at whatever cost Potemkin.
The day after the letter arrived Suvorofi
carried the town by storm, with a loss
of $4,000 men to himself, and $4,000 to
the enemy-summing up the fearful
tragedy in one doggrel couplet, which,
literally translated, runs as follows:

ecccntricities-his habit of wandering
about the camp in disguise, his within
of giving the signal for assault by
growing like a cock, his astounding en-
durance of heat and cold, his savage
disregard of personal comfort and
neatncss, are beyond calculation; but
perhaps the most characteristic of all
is his appearance in 1899 at the Aus
trian court, then one Of the most brill
liant in Europe. On being shown to
the room prepared for him, a splendid
apartment, filled with costly mirrors

A painting was recently discovered at
Pompeii, from which it appears that
even in those days men knew what
good living was. Here is a neat, sub.
stantial dinner Of three courses, which
the painting portrays: An immense
dish, containing four peacocks, stands
in the center Of the table, surrounded
by Holsters, one holding blue egg in
his claws, another a stuffed rat, another
an oyster. and the fourth a basket Of
grasshoppers. This tempting dish would
probably answer to our ''roast." At the
bottom Of the table are four dishes of
fish, and above them partridgcs, hares
and squirrels, each holding its head be-
tween its paws. Entrees, no doubt.
The whole is encircled by sort of Ger
man sausage, apparently; and then
comes row Of yolks Of eggs, row Of
peaches, melons and cherries; and last
ly, a row of vegetables Of different sorts.
Desserts.

Alabama is calling attention to hel
great mineral wealth. A deposit of req
fossiliferous, hematite ore extends from
near the center OF the State to il,
northern extremity, a distance of Isl
miles. 1t is pronounced the most re-
markable in extent in this country. and
affords . practical yield in the bias.
furnaces of over fifty per cent. OF iron.
This is found to be perfectly adapted to
the manufacture OF car wheels, guns
and all castings requiring great strength
and tenacity. The deposits lie so near
the surface that the railroad cattings
have in some instances exposed the
strata. Beside this iron ore. the coal
fields are also of great extent and are
mined with equal facility. They are
located near the Cahawba and Warrior
rivers, and estimated to cover an area
OF more than 5000 square miles. The
Warrior fields seams are seventy and
the Cahawba fifty feet in thickness:
Railroads, two of which are in course Of
construction, are only needed to de-
velop these resources.
