THE BoMBARDMENr OF PLEvNA.

THE RUSSIAN OPPORTUNITY IN ASIA.
LoNCoN. Oct. 20.-Panicky rumors
from Constantinople and sanguine an
ticipations from Russian sources are the
natural results of the great Russian vic
tory in Armenia. The Times's militia
ry critic says the Russians have before
Kars 10000 men. Muktar Pasha's army
at the time Of the battle did not COM
prise more than 10000 men. Among
these were fourteen battalions drawn
from the garrison Of Kars. The Otto
man field army lost at least third of
its strength in killed. wounded and cap
tWed. Thus, after the garrison ofKars
has been completed, few battalions
will remain available to retire upon Err
zeroum, and there, united with the
troops OF Kurd, Ismail Pasha, and those
from Pennek, form the nucleus of new
army for the relief Of Kars. Nor is it
certain that time will be given for any
serious attempt to organize fresh field
army. The Grand Duke Micheal can
safely leave $1,000 in front Of Kars, and
with the remainder press forward to-
wards Erzeroum. 1.-THE accounts we
receive OF his numbers are correct. he
should be able to make this forward
movement. even after leaving Kars
closely blockaded with at least $4,000
men, and ifhe pushes on rapidly there
is no reason to believe he will find a
hostile force even numerically equal to
bar his way.
THE OPERATIONS AGAINST PLEyNA.
LONDON, OCT. 20.-Russian official
bulletins from Pleyna say that siege
operations are progressing. The Rus
sian batteries fire in concentrated sal
vos directed simultaneously upon one
point. The fire appears to have consid-
cradle effect on the positions, since the
bombardment has been carried on with
great violence. The Roumanians have
not yet occupied the second Grivitza re
doubt, though the report is again tele-
graphed that the Turks have evacuated

Osman Pasha telegraphs that the en-
envy attacked his positions on the right
wing on Friday. The attacking party,

The Uses Of the Lemon.

As a writer in the London Lancet
remarks, few people know the value
of lemon juice. y piece of lemon
bound upon a corn will cure it in a
few days; it should be renewed night
and morning. a free use Of lemon
juice and sugar will always relieve a
cough. Most people feel poorly in the
spring, but if they would eat a lemon
before breakfast every day for a week
with or without sugar as they like,
they would find it better than any
medicine. Lemon juice used accord
ing to this recipe will sometimes cure
consumption: Put dozen lemons into
cold water and slowly bring to boil;
boil slowly until the lemons are soft,
but not too soft, then squeeze until all
the juice is extracted, add sugar to
your taste, and drink. I'm this way
use one dozen lemons day. If they
cause pain or loosen the bowels too
much, lessen the quantity and use only
| five or six day until you are better,
| and then begin again with dozen a
! day. After using five or six dozen
the patient will begin to gain flesh and
enjoy food. Hold on to the lemons,
and still use them very freely sever
al weeks more.
| Another use OF lemons Is for re-
freshing drink in summer, or i'm sick
( ness at any time. Prepare as directed
above, and add water and sugar. But
in order to have this keep well, after
boiling the lemons, squeeze them and
strain carefully; then to every hall
pint of juice add one pound of loaf OF
crushed sugar, boil and stir few min
utes more until the sugar is dissolved,
skim carefully and bottle. You will
get more juice from the lemons by
boiling them, and the preparation
| keeps better.

Admiral Raphael Semmes.

This celebrated Naval officer died OH
Thursday, the 3Oth ult He was born
in Charles county, Maryland, in 1893,
and entered the navy as Midship-
man, attaining the crank of commander
in 1866. He did service i'm the Mexican
war both as n naval officer and as an
aid to Gen. Worth. At the com
mencement of our civil war he resign
ed his position as secretary of the light
house board, and took command OF
the steamer Sumter, of New Orleans,
on which he ran the blockade and OPP
Grated OH the commercial marine OF
the United States i'm the Gulf of
Mexico. He proceeded afterwards to
England and thence to Gibralter,
closely watched blythe United States
ship TuscarOra. Unable TO escape
with the Sumter from Gibraltar ne
abandoned her there and i'm August,
1862, took command of the Alabama
built in England and manned by an
English crew; in her he continued in
fiicting serious damage on the United
States and in January, 1863, sunk the
gJm-bOat Hatteras off Galveston. On
June 10Th of that year the Alabama
was sunk in action with the Kearsage
off CherbOurg. Semmes was rescued
by an English yacht and remained,
we believe, in England till the end OF
the war, when he returned to America
and practised law in Mobile, Ala. He
WAS an accomplished lawyer. being
specially versed in international law,
and his literary abilities were mani
tested in several works descriptive OF
service i'm both the Mexican and civil
wars, his best known production being
the "MemOirs Of Service afiOat during
the war between the States" i'm 1869.

An Estimate Of Ncrton's Capacity.
IGndianapoIls sentinel. DAM.


Blaine is no more like Morton than
the flow of a sewer is like Niagara.
The Maine aspirant for Presidential
hOnors can talk, but he can not organ
ize. MOrtOn's call was respected; at
his command every Radical took his
place Obcdicntly and trustfully in the
ranks, and under Morton's leadership
fought on the line lac marked out. IL
may bc said of Morton that for years
he has been the Republican party.
Great measures he has not inauguratcd;
great principles he has not Champion
ed; great good he has not accomplish
ed, but great force Of character he has
exhibited. His vital powers have
overwhelmed all opposition and kept
him at the head, the recognized leader
of the Republican party. IL is safe To
say that but for Oliver i. Morton the
Republican party would long since
have been disbanded. He has been
its vitality and its brains. In the Sen
ate he commanded the men Of his faith
as certainly as Wellington or NapOlc-
OH commanded at Waterloo. On all
important questions relating to party,
MOrtOn's word has beenlaw. No CON
sideratiOn Of consistency trammeled
Morton. The position Of yesterday
was brushed away with word, while
he fought the battle Oh considerations
that presented themselves to-day.
While his conscience was elastic, his
will was iron. Gentle and genial To
his friends, he was the eInOdimcnt of
sternness to his enemies. "COmprOm-
Use" had no place i'm his policy. "All
or nothing" was his motto, and when
others weakened he grew more inncx-
lille i'm his purpose and, 10y efforts al
most supcrhuman, brought order out
of confusion, and infused his zeal into
the ranks of his followers. As n foe
man, Oliver L. Morton was ready to
cross swords with any Goliath that
might appear, and in the arena of par
| ty politics hc managed to take re-
spectacle number Of scalps that now
dangle from his belt or ornament his
| wigwam.

A Sensation at White Sulphur.
New York Heeald Letter. !

Thursday furnished somewhat of "A
female sensation, the details Of which
have not yet fully transpired. II APP
pears that a certain lady visitor from
Washington has some time past been
cndeaVOring to make a little notOriety
by a recital of her experience in New
Orleans under the administration of
Gen. B. +. Butler. The lady formerly
lived in Savannah, Georgia, but
moved TO Washington some time pre-
viOus tn the war When hOstilitics
began this lady took every occasion To
display her secession prOcliVities by
words and acts, and made herself con-
siderably obnoxious to the authorities
there. As Il consequence of this Mr..
Seward, in order to rid himself of
troublesome customer, sent the lady
SOuth-tO New Orleans-wEcTe she
was when it was taken possession Of
by General Butler. Here her rebel
lious sentiments got the better of her
discretion, and for jcering at the funer-
al Of passing Union officer she was
imprisoned for six months The inn
prisonment is the subject of the story
she has TO tell. Now for the sequel.
Finding it impossible TO obtain aselect
audience before which she could relate
her prison experience under the immac-
ulate Ben, she summoned the ladies
from the parlor to the ball room. They
came i'm force, and accompanied by
male escorts. When all had entered
the lady ordered the men to withdraw
as her revelations were such as could
not he made in the presence of both
sexes. The gentlemen then Withdrew
and the revelations began. What the
nature of these were can not be ascer-
tanned, but certain it is that when they
had reached certain point, an alIu-
sion being made to the relative of IA
lady present, the audience broke up
and the ladies fled precipitately. Per
haps Gen. Butler can rise and explain.
Certain it is that those here who would
can not, and those that can will not.
The matter remains an impenetra ble
mystery, and since it occurred has been
the chief topic of conversation among
all the male and female gsssips at the
springs.

him was when he turned up as colonel
of artillery, "colOred," at large. Neal
the close of the war he got into some
trouble that is unknown to General
Reynolds, and was mustered. out OF
service in disgrace. He then went to
Mexico. Here his peculiar dash and
aDIORl6 received him immediate re-
cOgnitiOn, and he went into service
under Juarez. He remained here en-
joying great ecJdt until the collapse OF
the empire in 1867. He then came
east, and rich beyond computation,
engaged in speculations on Wall street.
General REYNOLDS lost sight of him
again, and did not hear from him for
some years. In 1873 General Reynolds
was travelling in EurOpe-in Switzer-
land, in fact-and one day received
a letter which had been forwarded to
him from Berlin. He opened it. 1t
was postmarked Cairo, Egypt, and
was
FROM ROBERT CRAWFORD.
The letter stated that Crawford was
in the army of the khedive, enjoying
a rank that correspOnded to our briga-
dier-generaI, and said that he was
called Osman Bey. He expressed
himself as being entirely satisfied with
affairs there, and pronounced himself
a great man. General Reynolds says
he has not the slightest doubt that Os-
man Bey, Osman Pasha and Robert
G. Crawford are identical. 1t is char
acteristic of the man, and is more than
probable. Crawford was a very fine
looking man. He was five feet eleven
inches in height, dark compleXiOned,
black eyes and hair-the latter was
N -
features, square built, and command
ing, with an excellent military bear
ing. He was fond of adventure and
excitement. He was very quiet in
his bearing, with nothing of the brag
gadocia about him; in fact, just such a
man as one could look for in the hero
of PleVna.
