WHAT MR.. STEPHENS SAYS HE
SAID. a# p .r.

Hon. Alexander H. Stephens has been
recently interviewed as to his opinion of
President Hayes's policy and his right to
the executive office. He claims that he
has been somewhat misrepresented as to
his views, and asks tc be stated as saying:
"I think MIR. Hayes's tenure less assaila-
BILE than that of any President ever inau-
gurated in the United States. The others
all held prima facie cases. The matter of
his tenure is res ddjttdicdta. He holds his
office by the judgment of the highest judi
cial tribunal ever created. in this country.
That tribunal, think, was constitutional
ly created; and though thought their de-
cision wrong, yet bow to their authority,
and think all good law-abiding citizens
should, as to every other judicial decree
constitutionally rendered, Considerations,
of "fraud" or ''usurpation" therefore, in
connection with his title are now utterly.
out of the question:

THE EUROPEAN WAR.

RUSSIA, it is said, refuses to treat with
Turkey except through the medium of the
great powers. If she defeats the Ottomans
in the field, she hopes by diplomatic
shrewdness to gain the Endorsement of her
rivals for any amount of indemnity she may
see fit to demand.
WHATEVER successes Russia may be
achieving in European Turkey, she needs
more men, and the reserve of the Landwehr,
or militia men of the second and older class,
has been called out. If her designs are all
realized, she will have to work hard to
accomplish them.
A CORRESPONDENT at Tirnova, at the
junction of the Yamboh, Philippopoiis and
Adrianople Railways, writes, under date of
July 10, as follows: "There has been a
horrible massacre of gulgarians by the
Bashi-Bazouks at Yeni Saghra, and not a
single soul would have escaped but for the
arrival of Turkish regulars. The Bashi-
Bazouks, Circassians and irregulars treat all
the villages they pass the same way-burn-
ing, ravishing and pillaging."
A DISPATCH from Berlin to the Times
says that, in consequence of the dispatch of
British troops to Malta, regular campaign
has been opened by the entire Russian
press against England, and some journals
laugh at the insignificant force England can
spare for an Eastern war. Others fercely
declare that odious England is fighting
Russia, even now seeing that the Egyptian
troops have been equipped with Englis
money, while all agree in regarding English
antagonism as matter of indifference, and
not to be dreaded by Russia.

Who Was Casabianca!


Owen Casabianca was a native of
Corsica, ON which island he was born in
the year 173S. His father was Louis
Casabianca, distinguished French pol
itician and naval commander and the
friend of Napoleon. He was captain
at this time of the Orient, one of the
largest vessels in the French navy, a
magnificent ship-of-war, carrying one
hundred and twenty guns and five hun
dred seamen. Of Casabianca's mother
young and beautiful Corsican lady, and
devotedly attached to her son. Owen
was her only child, handsome, manly
little fellow, with her beauty in his
flashing eyes and dusky hair. She died
while he was yet quite young, and when
the green sod was placed above her
grave, the boy left the pleasant valley
under the smiling hills of Corsica to go
with his father and tread the hard deck
of war vessel. Mere child as he was,
Casabianca soon grew to love his fathers
dangerous calling, and became a favor
ite with all on board. He was made
midshipman, and at the early age of ten
years participated with his father in the
battle of the Nile. The ship caught
fire during the action. Soon after, Cap
tain Casabianca, the father. was wounded
by musket ball. Not yet disabled, ne
was struck in the head some minutes
later by splinter which laid him upon
the deck insensible. His gallant son,
unconscious of the chieftain's doom,
still held his post at the battery, where
he worked like the hero he was. He
saw the flames raging around him; he
saw the ships crew deserting him one
by one, and the boy was urged to flee.
With courage and GOODNESS beyond his
years, he refused to desert his post.
Worthy son of Louis Casabianca, he
fought on and never abandoned the
Orient till the whole of the immense
vessel was in flames. Then seeking
refuge on floating mast, he left the
burning ship behind him. But he was
too late. The final catastrophe came
like the judgment doom. With an ex-
plosion so tremendous that every ship
felt it to the bottom, the Orient blew up,
and from among the wreck the next
morning was picked up the dead, man
gled body of the young hero, whose
story, romance and poetry can not make
more heroic than it was.

An English Brute.

In an English court, recently, it was
shown that Mr.. Walrond's management
of his several children was painful in the
extreme. He insisted not only on their
complying with his .caprices, but with
his bitter animosities. To one of the girls
he gave the name of Devil, he always
addressed her as such, and branded the
name with lunar caustic on her skin. All
his natural and amiable feeling he be-
slowed upon dogs. He never saw dog
without stopping as others would at meet
ing an acquaintance, and he invested
them with souls, not only for eternity,
which is speculative affair, but for this
present time, which is more practical.
He slept with dogs, talked to them, en-
braced them, and kept up in every way
the fond belief that he was holding con-
versation with them. All his dogs had
solemn funerals and duly inscribed mon
uments. His gardeners and laborers had
to walk to the grave in procession, closely
watched, and they were instantly dis
charged if smile could be detected OF
their countenances."

Burying a Fort.

Quite an original method of taking a
fort is described in Bldckwoods Maga-
zine. In 1896, a large Russian army be-
sieged the Turkish fort of Azof, which
was situated on plain strongly fortified,
and had a small, but well disciplined
garrison. No common approaches could
be made to it, as the Turkish cannon
swept the level with iron hail In this
case the engineering skill of the Russians
was baffied, but General Patrick Gordon,
the right-hand man of Peter the Great,
and the only one for whose death it is
said he ever shed tear, being deter
mined to take the place at any cost,
proposed to bury it with earth by
gradual approaches. Eiic had a large
army the soil of the plain was light and
deep, and he set twelve thousand men
to work with spades, throwing up high
decentralization of earth wall before
them in advance. The men were kept
in gangs, working day and night, the
earth being thrown from one to another
like the steps to stair, the top gang
taking the lowest place every half hour
in succession. In five weeks the huge
earth wall was carried forward nearly
one mile, until it rose to and above the
highest ramparts, and the earth began
to roll over them. This caused the
Turkish Governor to hang out the white
flag and give in. Had he not done SC
General Gordon would have buried the
fortress.
