"T1nle and MY Right

The coat of arms OF the princes OF
Servia is white cross on a red field,
with drawn sword between the two
dates-1389-1S15- and the legend,
"Tine and Ny Right" A whole his
tory is in this heraldic device. For
nearly five centuries the Scrvians have
held the cross on bloody fields against
the 1arks. Through tie middle ages
they were the border guard OF Europe.
The date 1889" represents the year of
the great battle when the free christian
empire of of Servla was irokeH hv tn,u-
ranth aud Bajazet ,and this brave people
was trodden under foot by the turks
The intervening centuries are long peri
DDS of oppression, scrvltude, and suffer-
ing under conqueror who never knew
the meaning of the word mercy to a
Christian. When we recall that in
this long era the best youth of Servia
were taken as children To be trained for
Mohammedan slaves or .Ianissaries,
and that Christian mother often be-
held her boys carried away by violence
to serve the unnatural vices of vizers
and pashas, and grow mp as M"ham.
medan servants, and that III later years
no property or harvest was safe from
the rapacity of Turkish tax-gatherers
and governors that in this long his,
tory of tyranny, religion was i,,sulted
and all rights trampled on-we may
understand the deep and bitter passions
which lie back of the present Sersiai,
outbreak. The date "19I5n is the year
of Servian independence, won by the
valor of1he people; and, though a norn-
inal tribute las been paid TO the porte,
Servia, since that year, has been a free
and self governing State. Her progress
and freedom, the happiness aud C, u.age
of the peasantry, the advance OF public
improvements, arc perpetual model to
the subject Sclavonic provinces in their
servitude aud barbaritrn, of what they
would be, freed from the tyranny of the
! Turks.

Foreign Notes

Murad Y. of Turkey is described as
good-looking, pastY-faced, So years of
age, with fat nose, small monstache,
and a tendency to plumpness.
Prince Ernest, of Hanover, it is
thought, viii soon take up his residence
III England, and attend to ParIiamen-
tary duties in the House OF Peers, i'll his
future capacity of Duke of Cumberland.
Not long ago the Emperor William,
while en- route to Cobnig ,breakiasted III
Eisenack. Around the table were eight
chairs and sofa with cushions. The
Emperor asked the head waiter for
whom the sofa was placed there. "For
your Imperial Majesty" said the waiter.
"Take it sway" said the monarch,
sand give me chair like the others"
The sac of CircaSsian girls to Tur-

London Times says that Moslem deal

ticated girls, imports them to constan-
tinople, sells them, and then goes back

trips in year he can make a good

the Circass ans are settled in Turkey,
and there actually breed children for
sale, having no more shame about it
than fashionable English mother may
feel about bringing out her girls tor the
matrimonial market.
A certain Count Tschitschagow had
brought his extraordinary name into no
tice i'll Europe by losing 800 900 francs
in two days at Monaco. When the last
piece of his fortune was gone the Count
lamented that he had nothing left with
which to buy his supper. The propri-
etor of the gambling-house showed his
generosity and magnanimity by pu hing
over to him 500 francs. The Count
took it, and invited all his companions
at roulette to a fine supper. When
this was over he took a carriage to so
to Mantou. Arriving at the destination,
the coacnman found that his passenger
had disappeared. The next day the
Counts body was found at the foot of a
high precipice on the road He had

was passing the cliff and sprang out

Hes q Brick.

If it is slang, it is really classical
slang. And yet of the thousands that
use the term. how few, how very few,
know its origin, or its primitive signit-
icance. Truly it is heroic thing to
say OF man, to call him brick. The
W ord so used, if not twisted from its
original intent, implies allthat is brave,
patriotic and loyal.
Plutarch, in his life of AgcsiIaus,
king of Sparta, gives the origin Of the
quaint and familiar expression.
On certain occasion an ambassador
from Epirus, on diplomatic mission,
was shown by the king over his capital.
The ambassador knew of the moirarch's
fame-knew that though only nominal
" king OF Sparta, he was yet ruler OF
Greece-ahd he had looked to see mas
siye walls rearing alpft their embattled
towers for the defence OF tile town; but
he found nothing of the kind. He mar
veled much at this, and spoke of it TO
| she king
ssSire,'' he said, ssI have visited most
of the principal towns. and / find DO
walls reared for defence. Why il
this ?''
s.Indeed, Sir Ambassador replied
/ Agesilaus, tsthou canst not have looked
carefully. Come with me tomorrow
morning and will show you the wall,
| OF Sparta
Accordingly on the following morn
ing, the king led his guest out upon tht
plains, where the army was drawn NJ
in fall battle array, and pointing proud
~ to the serried host, he said
"Thcrc thou beholdest the walls 0
Sparta-ten thousand men, and every
man brick. ."-'s School Journal"

INDIAN Wars.

The Americans have had three
great Indian wars, each raging coilci-
IDENTIFY with foreign war. The first
was with the Algonquin nations, to
which the Chippeways belonged, led
by Pontiac. It Immediately followed
the overthrow of the French power in
America. The second was with the
Iroquois, allies of Great Britain in our
revolution. The third accompanied the
second war with England, when Te-
cumsell reused all the tribes between
Lake Erie and the Cult The Apache
war in Arizona was consequent of the
Mexican war and onr occupation OF tie
southern plains We are now fighting
indians whose hands were first raised
against us while the rebellion was in its
height. 1t there arc twenty-five thous-
and Sioux, of all kinds, they are equal
to the whole number of Indians east of
the Mississippi when we met Pontiac in
war one hundred and twenty years ago.
That was the number of Indians CON-
puted between the Mississippi and the
Atlantic in I775 by Mr.. Parkman.
Pontiac attacked every fort from Niagra
and PittSburg to Detroit and Mackinac.
The Sioux are now fenced out from
our settlements by line OF forts built
along the water channels of the Missis-
sippi, Yellowstone and Platte, most OF
which have been erected since the rebel
lion, as their names indicate: Fort
Reno, Fort Lincoln, Fort Rice, Fort
Sully, Fort Russell, etc. The removal
OF the Easter" Sioux to the plains was
promptly followed by running railroads
to the Pacific, and to Sioux City and
Bismark, on the Missouri river. The
former and the latter roads, designed to
go through to the Pacific, were obnox-
ions to the Sioux, as they crossed the
hunting region, the last subsistence tor
the Dakota in state of nature. The
end of the Northern Pacific Railroad,
BlSmark, is the base of supplies for the
posts in the land OF the Dakota, which
are communicated with by steamers
running once n month. These steamers
go several hundred miles mp the current
to reach the junction of the Yellow

ur more from Helena and BiSmark, or
Fort Lincoln. The Black Hills are far
TO the southeast and much nearer civil
izatIon. The Yellowstone Park, of
which so much has been written, is 200
miles to the west. The game of the
continent has been driven to that lofty
region ofstrearns, canyons and mountain
ridges, and 20 tribes, seeking to get
subsistence there, are kept III mortal
fear of the Dakotas. Their numbers,
radical difference from other Indians,
skill as riders and superior size and
courage make them overbearing. In
telligent, restless. unprincipled andd es-
lsotic, they are made up of bands who
have seen civilization and others which
seldom, or hexer saw a white man-ct
outlaws and barbarians, many sided as
Mohammedanism.
