Mr.. BEECHER TALKING ABOUT WOMEN
Speaking of Mary Magdalene's joy when
the angel told her that the Lord had arisen,
Mr.. Beecher said in his sermon Sunday
-'Who can understand the tropical whirl-
wind Of a woman's soul when a dead love is
about to have resurrection At the close
of his evenings serElon he said: "There
is nothing for which | thank God more
fervently than for the unwavering faith he
has given me in the purity, the virtue, the
honor of women. l have had it from my
youth, and now, at the end of a long life, l
can say that have not lost particle of
that chiValrous trust. Therefore, when l
hear young men yelping their impertinence,
middle-aged men cynically criticising,
intirm old men mumbling their ebscenities,
] am utterly disgusted. My soul com.
munes not with such men."-N. Y. Sun.

A Beautiful Home.

The most superb place in all Long
Branch is the private residence of Mr..
John Hoey, which has become celebrat-
ed all over the country. Mr.. Hoey has
about one hundred and sixty acres. The
greatest display is to be found in the
grounds, statuary and lighthouses, in all
of which the owner has shown remark
ably good taste. grounds are beau
tifully graded in slate, which is ground
into small particles above New York
City and brought by rail to Long Branch.
About the ground are about thirty pieces
of statuary. The greenhouses are very
extensive. We passed through one OF
twelve sections of seventy-five feet each,
and one Just being erected four hundred
feet by thirty. In these houses there is
the greatest floral display, probably, in
the county. There is one specimen OF
the Batanica Borbonica, a native OF
China, which is said to have cost $500.
One of the greenhouses was brought
from the Vienna Exhibition, in 1873, and
cost $4,000. The greenhouses alto
gether are said to have cost $50, 900, and
the plants $4,000 They are lighted
with gas at night and present a most en-
chanting appearance. In the summer
season all these plants are brought out
and occupy the ground in front of the
Mansions space of about 1000 yards
and number some 100000 plants

went crashing through his brain. The
two remaining blacks exchanged a few
hurried words in their own language,
and one of them went to pick up their
fallen comrade.
Then the sailors dropped from the
rigging. One of them seized hand
spike and dealt the third black a stag
gering blow on the head The one who
had gone TO the dead guard, seeing that
the game was up, jumped overheard
and was not seen again. On visiting
the shore the survivors found the bodies
of their comrades in the hut. The at
titude of the bodies indicated that the
unfortunate men could hardly have been
aware of the death-stroke. The vessel
was at once got under way for Cairns.
On reaching that point the three worst
wounded were placed in hospital, and at
last accounts were progressing favora-
bly,. The survivors viii probably never

A Picture of the Horrors of War.

In 1911 the opposing Russian and
Turkish armies stood facing each other
on opposite banks of the Danube. Dur
ing the night between the Sth and 9th of
September the Turks succeeded, by max
ing feint, and so attracting the Rus
slams to a spot some three miles below
the real point of passage, in throwing a
force of 1000 men and four guns across
the river a short distance above Giur-
gevO. The first attempts of the Russians
to drive this small body back into the
river were successfully withstood; rein
forcements were rapidly brought over
from the right to the left bank, until
finally $4,000 men and so guns were as
sembled on the northern shore. Every
effort to advance further and drive back
the Russian army, which had fallen
back into an intrenched position, was,
however, repulsed; the Turks them
selves being obliged after time to con-
struct inrenchmeuts 10 withstand the
counter attacks directed against them.
Unable to drive back the invading force,
the Russians desisted from any further
active measures against it, but, bring
inga strong flotilla of gun-boats up
the Danube, 10 prevent supplies being
carried across the river into the Turk
ish camp on the left bank, they quietly
awaited events. The provisions of the
Turkish force, thus completely isolated,
unable TO advance because of the Rus
sian force in front of it, unable to retreat
because of the flotilla which effeciually
prevented any bridge being thrown
across the river, soon began to run
short. The weather became cold; but
there was no fuel with which to kindle
fires Under these circumstances the
sufferings of the men were very great.
For some time there was horseflesh, but
it had to be eaten raw, as even the tent
poles had been cutu and burned. Hun
dreds died daily, and their comrades
had not strength to bury them. Disease
was consequently soon added to famine,
so that when finally, ON the Sth of De-
cember, peace was concluded, but 1900
men, who are described as being but
living skeletons with scarce strength to
stand upright, were left out of the So
600 who three months before had cross
ed the river.
