Russians and Germans.

The explanation which the Spectator
gives of the tardiness of the Russian
army is very shrewd one. 1t says that
the staff has got the campaign of 1870
on the. brain; it wants to move hosts
equal to the German ones with the same
precision, the same unfailing success,
and the same earthquaky results; it aims
to do everything on a gigantic scale,
and to move men by the hundred thou
sand across broad river, but finds that
the task involves difficulties only to be
met by grievous expenditure of time.
The Russian forces fight we'll, maneuver
well, and are we'll directed; but there is
want of "go" about them, a disposi
ton to have everything prepared as if
an army were a match, tendency TO
wait for overwhelming masses of artill-
cry, which reveals certain want OF self
confidence not TO be anticipated in con-
quering people These structures are
made by the great Liberal weekly which
has criticized the policy of the British
Government most numerically, espous-
ed the cause Of Russia, and hailed the
war as the most just and necessary of
modern times. British generals, how
ever, have been charged with making
war, with watch in hand.

Brigham TOung's Connection
with the Mountain Meadows
massacre,

SPRINGFIELD, Ill f., July 12.-Captain
John Tobin, formerly resident of Cali
fornia, later of st Louis, and still later
of Springfield, will be one of District
Attorney Howard's principal witnesses
to prove Brigham Young's personal con.
nection with the massacre Of the Cen
tiles. His name is mentioned in Lees
confession. He tells long story, which
is in substance that having gained the
confidence OF Brigham by aiding the
Mormon emigrants, he was appointed
instructor of the territorial militia, which
position he resigned because the squads
of cavalry we're used as avengers Sub
sequently he undertook to guide party
of three strong, out-spoken anti-Mo
mons to California, but the party was
overtaken BY band of mounted Nor
mons, led by Brigham Young, Jr, and
compelled to stop under the preteDce,
that they were going to California to
misrepresent Mormonism. They finally
proceeded, but were continually dogged
by the Mormons, who at length fired on
them rs they we're encamping. AT night
the party were left for dead and the
Mormons taking their horses rode away.
Sixty hours afterwards the United States
mail wagon and a party en- route for
Souberrardius took them up, but two
died soon after Tobia had a shot in
the right eye which made him blind
He claims to have an important docu
mentory evidence ofthe plotting against
the government and the Gentiles on the
part of Brigham Young. ~

Melikof being app ised Of the movement
of Mukhtar Pashas troops toward Kars,
in order to place the troops besieging
Kars in position to move with greater
readiness, suspended the bombardment,
sent the siege artillery to Kurukdara and
Alexandropal, concentrated the greater
part of the cavalry at Khajivali, to pro
tect communication, and stationed the
infantry at Hahn. The dispatch also adj
mits the retreat of Gen. Tergukassotf,
and says the necessity of protecting g.
600 Christian ia miles who were fleeing to
Alashkert to escape the Kurds,, and Bashi
B8zouks, who were massacreing the pop
ulations of whole villages, delayed his
movements, and enabled the enemy to
harrass his rear. After placing the sick,
wounded and fugitives in place of safe

bis supplies there he started in the direc-
ton of Bayazid.

Sherman's Summer Jaunt Simply
Intended Tor Effect Upon the
Ohio Canvass.

WASHINGTON, D c., July 10 The
statement is made here, on apparently
good authority, that Secretary Sherman
left his post of head of the Treasury
Department, and started on summer
junket upon the invitation of the Presi-
dent, who deemed it advisable that the
criticisms on bis financial policy should
be hushed in view Of the near approach
OF the Republican Convention in Ohio.
Hayes became alarmed at the unpopu-
lsrity of .Sherman's official acts, and
reasoned quite wisely that during his
absence the Department could be run as
mere machine, and hence evoke no
criticism Meanwhile, while John is on
the blne waters Of the deep. the Admin
istration is trying to create the impres.
sion that Sherman has modified his
views, and will not attempt any addi.
tional violent contraction measures. The
recent action of the Cincinnati Chamber
of Commerce has convinced the Presi
dent that if Sherman himself is not IN,
popular, his official acts certainly are
and that it is time to call halt on him

Turkish Surgeons and Amateur

The sanitary arrangements Of the

but the hospital system is abominable.
The army surgeons are ignoramuses.-

At Rustchuk he witnessed an operation
performed by an English physician. A
poor fellow had received splinter from
a shell in the hand somewhere near H.
raila, and the Turkish doctors tied a bit
Of ordinary string just above the wrist,
packed him off with others in a jolting,
springless wagon TO the hospital at Rust
chuk. When he arrived, another Tur-
kish doctor tied another bit of string
just above his elbow, when fortunately
an English surgeon saw the man, and
without minutes delay, on his own re-
