Tho Conqueror Of Montenegro.

Suleiiman Pasha, who is expected to
reinforce Raouf Pasha south of the Bal
kans with from 1S, 1000 to 10000 men, took
pains, when he was Chief.of-Staff at
Erzeroum, to promote the efficiency of
the Turkish officers. To encourage them
in their studies, he visited the schools
and classes of instruction, and instituted
examinations. Owing to his extreme
strictness, and to the severity with which
he Furnishes all offences, he is said to be
no favorite with his soldiers, and to be
actually disliked by his officers, especial
ly by those of hig her ranks. The Pail
Mali Gazette states that in the Servian
campaign, he distinguished himself by
the capture of Kujazevac, and by his
conduct during the fighting in the valley
of the Morava; but, although possessed
of much knowledge of the art Of war, he
failed to cooperate with other Generals,
being, so common report says, exceeding
ly jealous, and unwilling to assist others
in any way to gain distinction. He is
described as being in appearance, much
more like an Englishman or a North
German than Turk, having light blue
eyes and a flowing red beard: Tall and
we'll grown, of a figure which betokens
great physical strength, he is, unlike,
again, the majority Of Turkish. officers,
exceedingly particular in his dress, al
ways appearing in his proper uniform as
a Field Marshal of the Turkish army,
with his breast covered with orders, ac-
companied whenever possible by nu-
merous and brilliant, staff, composed
mostly of young officers, and escorted by
troop of cavalry. His recent cam
paign against the heroic mountaineers of
Montenegro has made him one of the
heroes of Oonstantinople.

A SPLENDID LITTLE LOVE STORY
Here's the story of an unfortunate young
lawyer. This unlucky wight was head
over-heels in love with beautiful girl,
and was about to be married to her. On
the eve of the wedding-day, he was called
on to defend an awful miscreant-a man
of thirty, who had poisoned his mother
and father. The case seemed lost one,
and, when the prosecution had closed,
the young lawyer was just about giving
up the struggle without an effort. Sud
denly he perceived in the far extremity
of the courtroom his beloved and her
parents, who had come to see what kind
of stuff he was made of. The presence
of the one he worships changes his train
of thought. He feels that he must make
show of talent, and commencing his
argument, rises to the highest flights of
eloquence. In word, he succeeded in
showing that the criminal is an upright,
virtuous, and much-abused man, and OBJ
tains his acquittal. In the evening, the
lawyer, with triumphant air, calls at thf
house of his fnture father-in-law, exps
ting that his success will ensure hira
warm reception. To his surprise tnds
the young girl cold, and her pfelnts
much embarrassed. He asks Wit TINS
sort of reception means. "MyFiend,"
says he, whom the young msf had al
ready begun to call fathegh-lawy, Il
must tell you-my daqeter loves
another" another! WHO'S the man i
''The good and virtuous aFsn whom you,
to-day, by your eloqVsJe, restored to
society,"" replies the fSaer.

WOUNDED, BUT MARRIED.-One day
last week young Ivey, who had been ad-
dressing Miss Bullard against the wishes
of her father drove up to the house of
the latter for the purpose of carrying
away his prize in the absence of the old
man, who had gone fishing. 1t appears
that the old gentleman had made ready
by loading his gun with slugs of lead
cut from the sinkers on his lines to shoot
the lover if lie persisted in his efforts to
carry off his daughter. The two lovers
were seated in buggy and making their
way 10 North Carolina when they were
overtaken by small brother of the bride
elect, who levelled the old gun and COM
manded them to halt. Not needing the
command, the youngster pulled down
upon them, and severely wounded his
sister in the side, but missed her lover,
the shot lodging in the back of the bug
gy. Nothing daunted, the two proceeded
on their journey until they reached the
house of preacher, who made them
one. The young lady was so weak that
she was supported while the ceremony
was performed. 1t seems that the boy
acted under his fathers Instructions
Marion Merchant and Farmer.

News reaches us from different sources
that Joseph's ammunition is running low,
and in proportion his courage, Bob Acres
like, oozes out. The defeat of the In
dians on the 18th and 18th inst. has been
the occasion Of sowing not only lead, but
considerable discomfort among them, and
there is every indication that they will
soon be divided among themselves. An.
other good effect of our victory is the
fact that large. numbers of Indians in
different parts of Idaho, Washington
Territory, Oregon and Montana who were
hesitating whether to join the hostiles
have now hung up their rifles and be-
come very peaceably disposed. The
Joseph war may now, therefore, be said
to be practically over, and our duty
henceforth will be to hunt the scattered
remnants like wild beasts.

Condition of the Russian Army.

The accounts received of the condition
of the Russian army on the Danube are
widely at variance. According to the
Arenir iNilitaire, the heavy and continu-
Gus rains which have fallen, have rem.
dered many of the roads exceedingly bad
and it is difficult for even man walking
to pick his way along them without sink
ing knee-deep in mud. At the same time
men, horses, and material are all suffer-
ing from the continued damp weather,
which not only causes sickness but is al
so probably sowing the seed for future
epidemics, which may be expected to
deyastate the Russian forces when the
summer heat, tropical in its intensity,
dries UP the ground and causes noxious
exhalations to arise from the now sodden
earth. The armament and the equipment
of the troops, and especially all articles
made of leather, such as belts, boots and
harness, have also become very deterior-
ated by the incessant rains.
On the other hand Mr.. MacGahan says
that the Russian army is in splendid con
dition for fighting. Maor-General Vol
chine, commanding one of the brigades
of the Eighth Army Corps, toldlhim that
the Fourteenth Division had marched the
whole way from Kischeneff after having
been in cantonments near the horrible
town all the winter. The men about the
Pruth had to wade for miles together up
to their waists in water, and there were
occasions when officers had to strip
with the men and give themselves to the
task of extricating the wagons of the col
umn from out swampy sloughs Of des.
pond. Notwithstanding these hardships
and the long march, the average of sick
men in the regiments of the division
each regiment numbering close on 5000
soldiers not above 30 men. The
three prevalent causes of ineficiency are
fevers-not infectious, but of an anguish
type, sore eyes and foot.soreness. Only
the fever cases, and of those only the
most severe, are left behind; the other
cases come on with their respective regi-
ments in the ambulance wagons, of which
two, each containing II men, are at
tached to each battalion. The General
laughed as he gave details respect
ing the spirit ration of the Russian
army. On the march from Kischeneff,
each man received dram four times in
the week; when not marching the al
lowance is two dranls of raki monthly.
The food ration was three pounds of
bread daily, with half pound of meat
and beans, for the soup, of which the
Russian soldiers partake twice a. day, a
great many eating out of tue same big
camp kettle. a a. ,,

The Stock Law in North Carolina.

Lie CRU7tOLCC' 'OOSeTCcT TtCellGly Gull
tanned series of interrogatories in re.
gard to the operations of the stock law
in Mecklenburg County, from Fl. A.
Gaillard, Esq, Of Fairfield, who desired
to procure the views of those familiar
with the practical workings of such a law.
In response to the questions asked by Mr..
Gaillard, progressive farmer in Meek
lenburg gives the following answers con-
cerning the working and popularity of
the stock law in that region. The ques-
tions are answered in the order pro.
pounded
l. The new law in Mecklenburg is in
creasing the number and improving the
quality of the stock.
2. The trouble and expense of keep.
ing stock through the winter is increased,
but the profits are more largely increased.
. 8. Farm tenants have no trouble in
obtaining pastures. Laborers. living in
the city, and in no wise connected with
farming, have no pastures, but have the
benefit of public pastures, at low figures.
Those Of them who have good COWS find
them as under the old law, profitable.
They are in many instances furnished
pasturage free of cost.
4. The adoption of the law by single
township produces no complication or con-
fusion; but its adoption by several town
ships, or county, increases its advanta-
ges and popularity, and diminishes the
expense of fencing.
S. The.sam provision existed with us,
in regard to fencing in such townships as
adopted the law. There was but little
trouble in making contracts, for the
building of such fence, with either those
favoring or opposed to the law. The cost,
including gates across public highways,
should not exceed S100 per mile, though
with us in some cases it has exceeded
that amount. Contracts were generally
taken.by those living upon the proposed
line of fence at 81 per 100 for old rails,
S1.5O for new, So to S. for gates. Rails
ing the money to pay for the fencing has
in some instance been easy, in others
difficult @
The adoption of the law has had the
effect of advancing the interest of the
whole people; has imbued the. farmers
with progressive spirit of improve
ment; makes the cultivation of cotton
less expensive, which will enable the
planter to pay larger wages to laborers. T;
has almost entirely relieved the tenant
from the burden of fencing; has made
the raising of hogs, cattle and sheep prof
liable; has learned men to regard the
lives and property of their fellow-men,
and thereby advanced the cause Of civili-
zation. 1t has made men more peaceable
and better neighbors, and has brought
order out of chaos. After this, the first
year, it will enable the farmers of Meek
lenburg to improve their lands to greater
fertility, by making compost and plough
ing more deeply, which in few years
would conduce to their leisure and pleas
ure. In conclusion, the stock law is CIV
ing greater satisfaction, to both whites
and blacks, than its most earnest advo-
Gates had predicted. -
Mecklenburg hopes that the people of
South Carolina may obtain the same ben
eft from its adoption.
