A Bucharest telegram to The Telegraph Gays:
~The Turkish gunboats are stil refuged at Matchn,
whence they do not attempt TO come down the
Danube. The Russian firing from Braila to Natchin
yesterday was an experiment with extra heavy
guns as to the possibility of destroying these gun
boats but as the distance is eleven klOmeters
NEARLY seven miles, the result, at most, was mere
chance. 1t Is stated that recOnuOiterlng eXpedi-
ton consisting of 500 Russian infantry crossed the
Danube in boats little below Reni. The Turks
opened such heavy fire upon them that they were
compelled to retreat to then boats with heavy lOss
The Vienna correspondent of The Times says:
"The news that the Russians have some floating
batteries on the Danube IS confirmed. They are de-
scrbed as small but in0c8iously made consisting of
three pontoons joined together Each battery car
res one gun. The pontOons were foated down the

the foregoing the Russians have some larger steam

the spot which naturally excited suspicion that they
had been sent there before"

THE LADIES IN ARMENIA.
Lombard Standard. |

ERzERoUM.- the stranger
succeeds in seeing a young servant girl
In some rich Armenian house, or in
passing through lonely streets the wo-
men are hindered by curiosity from re-
firing quickly enough from the grated
doors to prevent their faces being seen.
AS far as 1 can judge, the Armenian
women are handsome, their almond
shaped eyes and long black eyeiashes
being especially attractive. They have
a quantity Of hair, but it is SO stiff and
coarse as to resemble a horses tail.
Among the men, also, many are to be
found extremely handsome, though
numbers of the lower classes have
coarse, ugly features. The moral
laws here are so strict as to be almost
incredible to any one coming from Con-
stantinople. To-day saw young Ar
menian woman being escorted to the
citadel by three armed soldiers. The
trembling of her hands, which held her
white yashmak, enabled me to see her
face for moment. I have rarely seen
such noble features the embodied
dream of the poet. The pale counte-
nance was suffused with tears. so [ in
quired the cause Of this unlawful pro.
ceeding. She had been arrested for an
unlawful affection, and would suffer a
severe punishment. Soon afterwards /
saw her seducer-a Turk, who had only
one unarmed policeman to escort him.
The bastinado and some weeks OF i'm
prlsonment awaited him.

There is only one band to each divi-

but the spirits of the men are cheered
on the way by their own songs, in which
they give vent to their enthusiasm with
a good will and melodious expression
which is quite enlivening. At the head
Of each battalion are three drummers,
and in the van are generally score or
more of good singers. First one strikes

while the refrain swells along the whole

say, poisoned the beautiful green satin

1.-THE tricks and manners OF the ex-
President, however, probably would not
have annoyed the people so much had
it not been for the insufferable way In
which he was compelled to drag the
Ministerand the whole Pierrepont con-
nection about with him wherever he
went. He was incensed at this himself,
and openly expressed his satisfaction at
getting out Of Cavendish Square. It is
great pity that some kind friend had
not advised the General and Mrs. Grant
to send that young hopeful, their boy
Jesse, to school before them in some
cool and healthy part Of Switzerland
On the evening Of dinner at Windsor,
this misguided lad, by way Of making
himself agreeable to the Queen, went up
to her Majesty and affably attempted to
open conversation with her Majesty by
saying: Well, madam. your Majesty. L
hope your newspapers don't write about
you in your country as ours do about
my father and mother?' ] grieve to say
that the interesting conversation thus
begun never went any further"
