commander of the Turkish armies is Abdul
Kerim. This is an old veteran and tho
rough soldier. He will do his own command
ing and not have it performed by proxy. He
is over seventy years of age. That part of
the Russian army which is to operate in Asia

To show how magnanimous Peter Cooper is

late copy of the New York Sun
Gov. Tilden, Peter Cooper, Mr.. Hewitt,
Cyrus W. Field, Hester Clymer, Senator
Bayard and others, went on an excursion on
the Montclair and Greenwood Lake Railroad
to the lake on Tuesday. 1t is said that the
road will be recognized, that Mr. Tilden will
be active member of the Board of Direct

Winter the reformatory Legislator mounted
the Opium Habit with heavy spur and rode
it into prohibitory statute. The vocifera-
ton against opium-smoking was long and loud

continental soldier named Capt. Lahrbush
got to skipping about among the widows in an
I'M ustifable way-notably the relct of the |
late A. T. Stewart among others-and caught |
his death o'cold. When he had died the pa

years old. Some went so high as to say 125 :;
and one very enthusiastic and gifted obituary
artist set him up to $50. That he was born
doubt. Well, what has come to light, in TIE
very midst of our horror over the Opium
Habit Just this Doctor Mattson, in an ar

The enormous rate of ninety grains. He then
put himself under medical treatment, and
gradually lessened the doses to half drachm
laily in 1868. Thereafter be did not return
% the former excess, yet continued the habit
until his death
