RAGUsA, August 1.-The Turks,
in . recent battle at Trebinje, lost
Selim Pasha, killed, and 0sman
Pasha, taken prisoner. Two colo
nels, three lieutenant : colonies,
seven majors and from 5000 to 5000
men, two battaliOns of infantry and
one Of Chasseurs were destroyed to
the last man. All bsttalions en-
gagged suffered. The number of
Turkish inferior officers killed is
enormous. The pursuit was con-
tinued to the walls of Bilek.
Corpses were thick in the road be-
fore the citadel, besides artillery
and trains. The Montenegrins
captured 400 horses and an i'm
mense number of arms. The Turks
are greatly outnumbered.
LONDON, August 1.-The Turks
have penetrated into Seryia and
again assumed the offensive.
The Montenegrins have been de-
feated at Antiyar, and 400 Bulga-
rian prisoners have been released at
Philippoli

A society has recently been
formed in Paris, the members of
which declare, by a special clause
in their will, that they do not wish
to be inferred after death, but they
desire thir bodies to be delivered to
the amphitheaters to be dissected.
Their object, they state, is to con-
tribute to the progress of this inn
portant science, without which q
profound study of the healing art
is impossible. They would also re-.
move existing prejudices against
dissection Of bodies, A society of
the same kind, it appears, already

Romantic story.


Who says that the days Of 70
nance are numbered They were
peasants in blue blouses, they
worked in the garden at the chateau,
and they fell in love with their en-
ployer's daughters, who, as the Bah
ballad has it, "reciprocated it." The
young ladies were handsome and
accomplished, speaking French,
English and Italian huently, and
each was entitled to a fortune on
coming of age. Their father, an
elderly French gentleman, dis
covered one morning that they had
eloped with the two young gar
deners. He followed the runaways
across the Channel of Southampton,
and overlook them at Liverpool.
The Paulines did not wish to leave
their Claudes, and hence there were
tears, threats and yows, and finally a
parting. The young ladies were
under age-one being nineteen and
the other seventeen-and the father
exercised his parental authority.
Their sweethearts-pretty boysff-
teen and seventeen-decided to set
sail for America without delay,
The elder lady whispered to her
lowrborn lover that she would soon
be of age, and have several thous-
and francs a year in her own right,
and, and-so they parted. If you
don't say this is a pretty nosegay
from the gardens Of romance, may
you never gee the Lady Of Lyons

THE ! MASSACRE.
Indian Aeeounts of the Battle OF
the Little Big H0rn.

the Little Big Kern.
CHICAGO, August 1.-Oaptain j.
S. Poland, of the Sixth Infantry,
writes from the headquarters of the
military station at Standing Rock,
D.. T., under date July Gath, to the
Adjutant-G General of the Depart
ment of Minnesota, st. Paul, Civ
ing the Indian account of the bat
tie of the Little Big Horn of June
25th. The account does not differ
essentially from the reports already
published. 1t says, however, that
Sitting Bull was neither killed
nor personally engaged in the fight
he remained in the council tent
directing operations. Crazy-Horse,
with a large band, and Black
Moon were the principal leaders on
the 25th of June. Kill Eagle,
chief of the Blackfeet, at the head
of some twenty lodges, was at this
agency about the latter part of
May. He was prominently en-
gagged in the battle of the 25th
and afterward upbraided SittingBull
for not taking an active personal
part in the engagement. Kill
Eagle has sent me word that he
was forced into the fight that he
desires to return to the agency, and
that he will return to the agency if
he is killed for it."
The report concludes as follows;
There is a general gathering in
the hostile camp from each of the
agencies on the Missouri river and
Red Cloud and the Spotted-IallS,
as also the northern Cheyennes and
Arrapahoes. They report for the
special benefit of their relatives
that in three fights they had with
the whites they have captured over
400 stand of arms-carbines and
rifles, revolvers not cOunted-and
ammunition without end, and some
sugar, coffee, bacon and hard bread.
They claim to have captured from
the whites this summer over two
hundred horses and mules. l sup
pose this includes their operations
against the soldiers, the Crow In
dams and Black Hills miners"
The general outline of this In
dian report concurs with the pub
lished reports hat the first at
tack of Reno's began well on
in the day, say the Indians. They
report about three hundred whites
killed, but do not say how many
Indians were killed. Another re-
port says the Indians obtained
from Clusters command five hun
bred and ninety-two carbines and
reyolyers. "Ihave since writing the
above heard the following from re-
turned hostiles: They commune
Gated as a secret to their particular
friends here information that a
large party of Sioux and C~heyennes
we're to leave Rosebud mountains
a hostile %camp-for this agency to
intimidate and compel the Indians
here to join Sitting Bull. If these
refuse, they are ordered to Soldier
them, beat them and steal their
ponies"
