LONDON. Aug ia dispatch to the Standard
from Belgrade says 1t is reported that the
Turks have advanced beyond Banja and that
the Servians evacuated that important pass
the constant rumors of Turkish advances and
Sarvian retreats are exaggerated, but IL cannot
be denied that the prospects of the Servians are
becoming more gloomy. The rumors of their
evacuation of the deiies leading from Gurguso-
yatz TO Delgard and from Saitchar to Paratkin
though unconfirmed. is highly probable.
II the Turks push forward. II is more than
likely that the expected great battle at Alexinatz

A Farmers Lawsuit.

A rather novel suit has been com
menced in this city, says the Syracuse
IN. " Journal, by q disappointed
farmer against a certain druggist. The
farmer applied to the defendant for a
quantity of Paris green, with which to
relieve his potato vines of their obnox-
ious incumbrance. He asked the price,
and was Informed that a good article
was worth fifty cents a pound. The
farmer demurrcd; he declared that he
could buy it at half that price. The
druggist then offered it for twenty-five
cents a pound, and made a sale. Into
the money-drawer went the currency,
and upon the potato vines went the bug
poison. The owner of the patch re-
tired from the field, congratulating him.
self upon the victory won, and for a
week left it unmolested to give his enc
mics ample time TO turn their toes to.
ward the sur Then he again appeared
upon the field, and, shades of the pests,
not a vine was to be seen, but upon the
desolate hills the bugs had congregated,
looking as neat and plump as a weil-fed
mule. He declared that some of them
really wore smiles upon their brows,
and seemed to beseechingly ask him fol
more Paris green.
Before a bug could crawl up the stalk
of a vine, he was in a lawyers Office in
this city, and instituted a suit against
the druggist to ecove damages for the
loss of his crop, on the ground that the
Paris green was a spurious article. The
druggist says that can't be proven, and,
further, that the bugs in question had
eaten so much of the poison in a neigh
boring field from which they came tina,
they had become poison proof, and in
stances the fact, in support of his posi-
ton, that many people eat quantities o.
arsenic for their complexion, which
would quickly kill those not accustomed
| to its use.

A Funny Scene at the White
House.

Courts" writes from Washington to
the Chicago Inter- Ocean: There was q
very funny scene in the east Dom the
other day. This, every one knows, is
the grand reception room, extending
through almost half of the lower floor,
and is the first place visited by excur-
sionists. A matronly lady from an
Iowa farm, attended by a buxom lassie,
with a long braid of hair and full,
flushed cheeks, and a weather-worn,
round-shouldered husband, went in the
other day, and after making a tour Of
the White House rooms asked II the
President could be seen.
"Certainly," replied the usher.
"Walk up stairs into the ante-room and
take your turn"
The mother and daughter glanced
significantly at each other, and hurried
into the east room, where they pulled
the gauze screens off one Of the long
mirrors and proceeded to do their
toilet preparatory to meeting the Presi-
dent. The old lady took off a linen
buster she had been wearing and laid it
on a chair at one side; then, from a
capacious pocket, she produced a box of
powder, a brush, a comb, a set of false
curls, a scarlet bow, Il bunch
of hair-pins; and was occupied
industriously for the next ten minutes,
all unconscious of the raillery Of the
groups who came and went. The
daughter, however, was considerably
discomposed by the stares of the pub
lie, and retired to one of the deep win
dows, where her movements could not
be so easily seen. She unbranded her
long brown t~resses, and rolled them up
in a heavy knot; removed her duster,
and after shaking out the wrinkles in
the skirt of her ld.fashioned plaid silk
dress-her mothers wedding gown,
pcrhaps-stood in anxious expectation
till the old lady had ~"harnessed" her.
self again. The husband and father
meantime was pacing nervously in an
other portion of the salon, trying to ap-
pear as If those weren't his wife and
daughter who were making such spec
tacles of themselves. Finally, the old
lady vas rugged out, and leaving her
duster on a chair in the east room she
led the way to the ante-chamber, where
they waited an introduction to the Ex-
ecutive. The President is very suscepti-
BILE to female charms, but I am not pre-
pared to state how far the prim Iowa
lady carried her conquest.

The Female Lobbyist.

Celia Logan writes from Washington
concerning this much talked-of person:
She is always painted in the roseate
hues of health and beauty and repre-.
scented as rioting in ill-gotten gains. To
read Dom Piatt's description of these
women one would think hat they al
ways succeeded in getting through any
bill or claim they might have an inter-
est in, and are paid such large sums that
they a live sumptuously, but he tells
us nothing of the poor wretch who loses
all and gains nothing. Such a one died
here the other day. She came to Wash
ington a few years ago as pretty and as
good q young girl as ever lived. She
was brought up in n of the Western
States, and when her parents died and
left her destitute she came to the capt.
tai to find some man Of influence whom
she knew, to try and persuade him to
get her = clerkship. He did SO. She
made an able clerk and was liked and
respected by all. 1t was at this period
of her life that | made her acquaintance.
Seeing her death in the papers the other
day l made inquiries as to her fate in
the intervening years. BY one OF
those senseless and wholesale
dismissals of clerks she had been
left without the means of subsistence
and at last, after vainly trying what il
SO well known here as ''to get back
she vas persuaded by a bad friend tc
try her luck at lobbying. For a while
she had a little run Of prosperity, bu,
soon succumbed to the fatal and pes
tiferous influence Of so much unscrupu'
lous male society. With IN infant in
her arms, she fell into the direst need
when deserted by the man who had be-
trayed her. Her child died-she broke
her leg and became a oripple-grief
shame, remorse and want oon de-
stroyed her beauty, and her career had
lost her all her friends. Comforted ant
supported by some kind-hearted color
cd people, the once dashing lobbyis
breathed her last. In describing hel
end the old darby said; "She lost hel
conscienciousness only q few hour
before she died." Poor little prairi,
flower, scorched and withered in Wash
ingtonian heats, methinks you los
your "oonscientiousness" long befor,
your melancholy dissolution-else yo'
had not died like this,

Interesting to Poor Men.

A consideration of the cost Of high
life has its destinations wen for the
poor in purse. We find in the New
York Times an intelligent discussion Of
the subject. The writer of the article
maintains that it is all but impossible
for the wealthiest Americans to spend
more than 100000 per annum. while
in England a nobleman often lays out
for similar purposes five times as much.
The difference is due partly to the large
hunting establishments which are sus.
tanned in the latter country, and partly
to the greater extent to which visitors
are entertained by the owners Of large
estates. 1t is common enough in Eng
land for twenty to sit down to dinner
for months together, and q hundred
mouths are fed daily. In thil
country, on the other hand, thu
practice of entertaining Is pursued only
on a limited scale. The household ex
penses Of a millionaire American ar,
estimated as follows: Interest on tn,
purchase-monoy Of 3 house in New
York, a country residence, and q viii
at Newport, $4,000; yacht, $4,000
servants, $4,000; maintenance Of house
hold, $1,000; 1000 guests, being n
average Of about five q day, at $40 pc
head, $4,000; repairs, etc., $4,000

lonely Voyage.

Myer Gershon, who has been on a Wis
it to London, returned by the steamer
Greece. He reports that in midocean,
the watch at the bow reported to the
Captain that he deserted ahead what
seemed to be a part of a wreck. As it
neared the ship the object vas discov-
cred to be a small skiff, and in the
darkness the figure of one man was
deserted. The Captain Immediately
gave orders to stop the engines, and to
get the ropes ready to pull the man on
board. The sea was running high.
The skiff came quite neal to the ship,
appearing and disappearing at intervals
how on the top of an immense wave
level with the deck of the vessel, the
next minute hidden from sight in the
pillows. The Captain, calling to know
who was in the boat, was answered in
a strong German accent: 81 am Jack
Andrews, from Gloucester, Mass" He
told further that he was bound TO Liver
pool; that his skif was named "Cen-
tennial," and that he had been out ff-
tees days. He then asked the Captain
to compare r~eckonings. His was long.
4G, lat. 80; the Captains was the same.
Andrews informed the Captain that he
slept by day, and before going to sleep
he took in his rudder and took down all
sails; during sleep his craft drifted with
the waves. He was awake at nights
The Captain made a final appeal to
him to come on board, stating that
if he refused he would probably regret
it when the vessel was out of his reach
To this Andrews emphatically answered
"No, sir; good night" and throwing
his sails to the wind was soon lost tc
sight. Andrews sits in the centre OF
his boat with the lamp burning before
him, exposing the dial of what seemed
to be a compass. The deck afore and
aft is covered with canvass, under
which, besides the compass and lamp,
were several barrels, containing, nc
doubt, provisions, water, &c. Moth
ing has been heard of Andrews since
that night.

The Trial of a COrnet Player.

The trial of an amateur cornet player
named Montrose, on a charge of dis
turbing the public peace, is reported in
the Virginia City Tribune. Mrs. John
son, his landlady, testified that when he
came to her house it was full of board
ers, but that many of them left at the
end of a week because they had not
slept well. A boarder swore that Mont
rose played at all hours of the night,
that he couldn't play more than three
consecutive notes without stopping to
take breath, and that his performance
was of a nature sufficiently ex~cruciating
to drive an ordinary man insane. A
man who lived two blocks away testified
that he had once got out of bed, sup
posing that the noise was made by a COW
that he had lost a few days before. A
second boarder didn't like the music,
and had frequently gone up in the can
yon and laid down in an old tunnel to get
some sleep. He was Of theopinion that
a man living in the next block
would have no grounds for COM
plant provided he stuffed enough cotton
in his ears to shut out the sound. SHOW
much cotton would be necessary to &C
complish that resultp" the prosecuting
attorney asked. al think an ordinary
bale Of New Orleans cotton, Xxx prime,
might last q man two weeks-if his ears
were large, like yours, it might tsxe
more," was the reply. An old man put
on the stand for the defense said that
the sound Of the cornet lulled him to
sleep. In cross-examination, however,
the opposing lawyer whistled, "Beauti.
full Blue Danube" and the witness
swore on oath that in his opinion 1t was
"Yankee Doodle" The only othe,
witness for Montrose had never been
disturbed by the cornet, although hi
slept in the next room; but the fac
came out that he was too deaf to hear
any thing fainter than a steam whistle
