I would get steamer to stop for her in
the spring, one that ran up the shore of
Canada, and if she would come to Buffalo
with her girl, would get her into the Sis

A very simple relief for neuralgia is to
boil small handful of lobelia in half a
pint of water till the strength is out of
the herb, then strain it off and teaspoon
full of fine salt. Wiring cloths out of the
liquid as hot as possible and spread over
the part affected. 1t acts like charm.
Change the cloths as soon as cold, till the
pain is all gone; then cover the place
with soft dry covering, till all perspi-
ration is over, so as to prevent taking
cold. rheumatism can often be relieved,
by application to the painful parts, of
cloths wet in a weak solution of sal-soda
in water; if there is inflammation in the
joints, the cure is very quick; the wash
needs to be lukcwarm.-Countay Gentle

light Ia the time for rest;
~ how sweet when labors close,
To gather round an aching breast
The curtain ofrepose,
Stretch the tired limbs, and lay the head
Down Oh our own delightful bed!
light is the time for dreams;
The gay romance Of life,
When truth that is, and truth that seems,
Mix in fantastic strife;
Al! visions, less beguiling far
Than waking dreams by daylight are!
Night is the time for toll;
TO plough the classic field,
Intent to find the buried spoil
Its wealthy burrows yield;
Till all is ours that sages taught,
That poets sung and heroes wrought.
Night is the time to weep;
To wet with unseen tears
Those graves of Memory, where sleep
The joys ofOther years;
Hopes, that were Angels at their birth,
But died when young,.likc things Of earth
Night is the lime to watch;
Der oceans dark cxpansc,
To hail the Plciades, or catch
The full moons earliest glance,
That brings into the homesick mind
All We nave IONCU anu AcII pculnO.
Night is the time for care;
Brooding on the hours misspcnt,
To see the spectre of despair
Come to our lonely tent;
Like Brutus, midst his slumbering host,
Summoned to die by Casar's ghost
Night is the time to think:
When, from the eye, the soul
Takes flight: and on the utmost brink
OF yonder starry pole
Disccrns beyond the abyss of night
The dawn Of uncreatcd light.
Night is the time to pray:
Our saviour oft withdrew
To desert mountains far away;
So will his follower do,
Steal from the throng to haunts untrod,
And commune there alone with God.
Night is the time for Death;
When all around is peace.
Calmly to yield the weary breath,
From sin and suffering cease,
Think Of heavens bliss, and give the sign
To parting fliends;-such death be mine.

THE EUROPEAN WAR.

took place off the Sulina mouth of the Dan
ube ON Tuesday between the Russians and
Turkish steamers. The latter exploded, and
sank with all hands.
In the recent returns of elections in

A TELEGRAM from Kars, Wednesday

9th near Aladjadah, lasting from midday
until six o'clock in the evening. The losses
were heavy on both sides. Movements are

camp which seems to indicate the renewal of
the fighting" A correspondent, telegraphs
Wednesday from the Russian camp, said the
Russians had retired to the positions occu-
pied before Tuesdays battle.
A CORRESPONDENT says: In consequence
of restrictions placed by the Russians on the
movements of correspondents, the number
of those with the army before Plevna has
been reduced from sixty to two, a number of
English and Russian correspondents having
been recently ordered to quit. The fact is, the
authorities are endeavoring to keep the
state of the army secret. Eye witnesses tell
me that the soldiers, in the present severe
weather, are lying on the bare earth. The

Catching a Shark.

The New York San says George
Goetz, a tinsmith of 81 Greenwich
Street, for seven years fshed for Holsters
off the long wharf at the Battery. When
he drew his nets on Friday evening they
were badly torn and the bait was miss
ing. Then he got a cast iron hook,
three feet in length, with sharp prong
on the end, baited it with an immense
decomposed fish, attached to it stout
rope, and threw it outside his nets. A
few minutes later man near him cried
out, "Great God! George, you've got a
whale" The coil of the rope was run
out at lightning speed. The two men
were unable to hold the monster on the
end of the line. ard called to some sailors
near by, and soon the wharf was covered
with men anxiously watching the haul
ing in of the fish. 1t was shark eight
feet seven inches in length, weighing
over three hundred pounds. Ten strong
meR lifted it over the string piece.
While trying to kill him Barney Gallon
was knocked overheard, and three men
were knocked down and badly stunned.
Mr.. Goetz sold the fish to Hugh Nc
Hugh, of No. 10 Battery Place, for two
dollars and half, and, as 'longshore-
man said, "nearly the whole First Ward
called at the saloon to see it." Its mouth
when opened was three feet in diane
ter. There was a corked soda water
bottle, q part of an India rubber shoe,
and a piece of brickbat in his stom-

THE STIKINE RIVER.

The Stikine River is soon likely to
come into particular notice, and may
yet be the subject of dispute between
Canada and the United States. A con-
temporary newspaper says of it: This
river, which is now being pressed into
notice, will afford the student of ge-
ography, who is fortunate enough to
find it on the map, almost as much joy
as Duluth gave to Proctor Knott, when
after long search that magic name
burst upon his enraptured vision. Sti-
kline River is in such a remote and
thinly settled part of North America
that its name is even a matter of dispute,
and it is variously known as Stitsine,
Stikine, Stickeen, and Francis River. 1t
flows south and west through the north
ern part of British Columbia, and
formerly emptied into the Pacific Ocean,
through the territory of Alaska, not far
south of Sitka But Canadian survey
ors, we are told, have discovered that
several miles of the river, heretofore sup
posed to be American territory should
be under the British flag as matter
of right The Stikine River is the gate
way, SO to speak, to the gold regions Of
British Columbia, where quite recently
valuable discoveries of gold and copper
deposits were made, and if the Stikin'
River can be made to debouch into th'
ocean through British territory by 1
slight change in the boundary line, Their
can be free trade between the mines an(
Victoria, Vancouver Island. If ther
has been a mistake made heretofore il
drawing the boundary line, it is rathe
unfortunate that it should have beel
made in that particular neighborhood
which is really habitable.

A WAR correspondent says that the
question of maintaining the Russian
army in Bulgaria during the Winter is
becoming one of Importance. The sup
plies of food for man and beast nov
stocked in Roumania would maintain
100000 men through the Winter, AMI
10000 men would be sufficient to hold
the Russian positions during the season
when the roads are practically impass-
able for military purposes, and the rest
of the troops could be retired across the
Danube until Spring. The question Of
getting these supplies to the army is the
chief one for consideration. The scarcity
of fuel is the greatest difficulty to SUI
mount. Underground barrack huts
might be sufficient to keep the soldiers
warm in connection with their heavy fur
or sheepskin coats, but for cooking pur-
poses fuel is, of course, a necessity. #
the Russians can overcome the fuel diff
ficulty they can Winter in Bulgaria.
