LONDON, Friday, Aug %, 1876.
special dispatch to The Standard from Alexinatz
says Gen. Tchernayeff attacked Ali Sab at noon on
Wednesday. Twenty Servian battalions with two
batteries of artillery passed through the valley
leading northeast of Alexinatz to the Turkish head
quarters. The movement was discovered by the
Turks, who went to meet the column. The Turks
held their ground although the Servians were supe-
rior in numbers. The losses by the Turks were
heavy; nearly all their officers were killed or
wounded. The Servians fought under shelter of the
forest, but at in the evening retreated to Aexi-

The Teeth Of Americans.

An Englishman named Charles A.
Cole has recently written a book about
America, in which is found, among
other paragraphs, the following: ''Two
or three dentists may be found in a
village with less than 800 inhabitants.
The very common consumption of can
dies and lollipops by grown up women
leads to frequent attendance on the
dentist, and younger male and female
children soon begin to follow the fash.
ion of their elders. Coming out of
New York on the Hudson River Rail-
road in a drawing room car-that is it's
fitting name, for it is a drawing room
on a car-0ut Of bevy of five hand
some grown up girls three were filing
up the pauses in reading serials or
newspapers by sucking sticks of candy
with open and undisguished satisfac-
ton. The candy shops in New York
are a marked feature in the streets,
more than in Paris, Vienna or Milan !;
there are many at which candies and
sugar stuff, chocolate bon bons and va
rieties are alone obtainable. Nothing
else is sold in the 81 ore. At the coun-
try dances and gatherings the swain
approaches the beloved object with
candy in one form or other, and it is
certainly pleasant and sure mode of
arresting the flow of lady's tongue.

then loved that she left her husband
for him on his solemn promise to mar
ry her if ever she Was free; that sub
sequently (some five years later her
husband died of hard drinking. but he
mad then refused to fulfill his promise,
and it was not until recently that she
had discovered that he had formed
other plans. She had then made
desperate appeal to him, and threat
ened exposure. He detied her. And
here she was.
This story suggested an explanation
to the lady of her lovers conduct of
the previous evening, and she could
not repress a feeling of pity for the
poor, forlorn, and lovely woman, so
shut OFT from sympathy, so desperate
in her need, and SO evidently destined
Tor an early grave, for she was evi.
IDENTIFY IN the grasp of consumption.
A week after this, and before she
had decided whether to write to him
or not, she received visit from her
afianced, who, ignorant Of what she
Knew began to urge European trip
OF longer or shorter duration. She
silenced, in fact stunned him, by civ.
ing him the history of the visit she
had received, and urging upon him
| the duty of making whatever repara-
ton he could to the unfortunate wo.
man, If her story was true. He &C.
knowledged it's truth, but declared
that he had been entirely separated
from her since his engagement, only
paying a small sum per week for her
subsistence.
Finally, her voluntary promise that
she would never marry unless she mar.
ried him, her payers, her tears, her
entreaties prevailed. He consented to
marry tile woman he had dishonored,
to allow her to bear his name, but on
the condition that he was not to live
with her. He took a small floor for
her, furnished it neatly, under Miss
rs superintendence, and month
ago was married in the ssLittle Church
Round the Corner with only Miss
+ and her mother as witnesses.
He drives his wife out occasionally,
but only when his former betrothed
will accompany them, an agreement
perfectly agreeable to his wife, for
she relies upon her, and has learned to
love her. The other day I met the
strange trio in the park, and neither
one looked unhappy. On the contrary,
there were indications of inward peace
and satisfaction about them all, and I
fancy all will come out right.
