RUSSIAN DIsCiPLISE.-Al,caiy the
Russian soldier, with hazv notion of
right and wrong in war, begins to ask
whether he ought not TO massacre ali
Turks, whom he thinks of As unclcan
animals. Their officers restrain them
now; but how long will they be able e.
do so. For, understand, Russian d;sci-
pline is very different from Prussizu
Here the man, within certain bounds, is
accustomed TO do as much As he plcascs.
The officers supcrintcnd the men very
little. have seen nothing like a reg
ular attendance at stables. There was
no roll call Yesterday, and during the
whole night men wandered backwards
and forwards in and out Of the camp.
Al two in the morning they began TO
cook: with the earliest light hey were
drinking milk from the captured cows
The commander OF battery is de-
barred by their customs from entering
the park unless ten or dozen of The
men, at least. are there before him. and
altogether there is a freedom for tie
soldier unknown to the English army.
The other day some of the men OF DRAG
omirors Division who were in the boats
crossing were told by their officer 20
open FIRE. "No, no." said they. Our
old man. meaning Dragomirof, told
us not TO shoot till we were out of
the boats" And they would not shoot
because they love Dragomirof and be-
lieve IN HIM.
Being anxious to avoid mistake into
which those have fallen who have only
one model for an army, am anxious I,
say that the Russians have discipline
which suits them and is strong enough,
but it is the discipline of the Thirty
Years War rather than the time of
Frederick, and the soldier will be car
ried forward by enthusiasm and the hab-
it of looking higher than himself rather
than driven.-Cor. Loadsn Times.

Siamese Twins in an Oyster Bed.

The clerk of the steamer Maggie, of
the Eastern Shore Steamboat Company,
has brought to the city remarkable
oyster that had been caught in the Ches-
apeake. The oyster is, apparently, two
oysters fastened together, as is often the
case. The peculiarly, however, is that
while there were two distinct oysters,
they were fastened together by ligature
running from heart to heart, the shell
that divided them being very thin, and
showing that there was really but one
oyster contained in the three shells. The
same gentleman has also an old bottle
into which an oyster had become imbed-
ed, remaining until it was too large to
get out. baltimore Bulletin.

Words Of Wisdom.

The more polished society is, the less
formality there is in it.
Two-thirds of the world are always
engaged in fighting wind-mills.
He who rises late may trot all day,
but never overtakes his business
A man writing an anonymous letter, is
like puppy inside an enclosure bark
ing at you with his nose under the
gate.
If the whole world should agree to
speak nothing but the truth, what an
abridgment it would make of speech.
A lie is hiltless sword which is sure
to cut the hand of him who strikes with
it. 1t is better to find this out first than
afterwards.
A man who can give up dreaming and
go to his daily realities; who can smother
down his heart, it's love or woe, and take
to the work of his hand; who defes fate,
and, if he must die, dies fighting to the
last-that man is life's best hero.
Reply with wit to gravity and with
gravity to wit; make full concession
to your adversary, and give him every
credit for those arguments you know you
can answer and slur over those you feel
you cannot; but above all, if he have the
privilege of making his reply, take es-
pecial care that the strongest thing that
you have to urge is the last.
The most agreeable of all companions
| is a simple, frank man, without any high
pretensjons to an oppressive greatness
one who loves life, and understands the
use of it; obliging alike at all hours
above all, of golden temper, and stead,
fast as an anchor. For such a one we
gladly exchange the greatest genius, the
most brilliant wit, the profoundest
thinker
Lessons of wisdom have never sucl
power as when they are wrought in the
heart through the groundwork of a story
which engages the passions; is it that
we are like iron and must first be heated
before we can be wrought upon? or i,
it the heart so in love with deceit that
where true report will not reach it We
must cheat it with fable in order t.
come at the truth?

The welfare of the Humnn system

The Welfare Of the Human system
Isin great measure dependent upon the way
in which the bowels perform their evacuative
function. If they are regular and they can
always be rendered so by the use of Hostettei' 8
Stomach Bitters-an important essential of
health is secured, and that blessing is very apt
TO follow. If they are irregular, chronic con-
stipation and indigestion supervene, the liver
becomes disordered, and the bile, being divert
cd from its natural channel and purposes,
enters and contaminates the blood, producing
that yellowish cast of the skin and whites OF
the eyes which is such sure index of bilious
ness. All these disastrous consequences, as
we'll as others of far more serious nature, are
remedied and prevented by Hostetters Bitters,
the leading American specific for disorders Of
the bowels, stomach and liver.

A man who was hanged in Arkansas
the other day, for numbering his aunt,
had some very clear views as to his ca
reer in life, provided he had been ac-
quilted of his crime. He intended to
burn up the Jail and court house and
village of Hot Springs. Then he in
tended to kill five men that he didn't
fancy, and to burn the dwellings, and
barns, and poison the stock of sundry
other people who didn't altogether suit
him. After this he intended to do an
indefinite amount of burning, numbering
and robbing, until he was caught or got
tired of the sport.
