TIE SEWN WISE 3.EN. The sev-
on wise men OF Greece are supposed
to have lived in the fifth century be-
fore Christ. Their names were Pit
tacns, Bias, Solon, Thales, Chilo, Ci.
cCbp.us and lerirander. Tho rea
son of their being called "wise" is
given differently by different au-
thois, but the most approved nc.
counts stato that as some Coans
were fishing, certain strangers from
Milotus bought whatever should be
in the nets, without seeing it. When
the nets were drawn in they were
found to contain golden tripod,
which Heron, as sho sailed from
Troy, Is supposed to have thrown
there
A dispute arose between the fsh-
ermcn and the strangers, as to whom
it belonged and as they could not
agree they took il to tho temple of
Apollo, and consulted, the priest
css rs to what should be done with
1t. She said 1t must be given to
the wisest men in Greece, and il was
accordingly sent to Thales, who de-
clarcd that Bias was wiser, and sent
it TO him. Bias sent it to another
one, and so on, until il bad passed
through the hanas of all the men,
afterwards distinguished by the title
of the "Seven Wise Men," and as
each claimed that some one was
weiser than he, il finally was sent to
the temple Of Apollo, where accord.
ing to some writer's, it stih remains
to teach tho lesson that the wisest
are the most distrustful OF their wis
dom.

The News special from Turnu Magureli
says that all the monitors now on the Danube
are surrounded by torpedoes. 1t is believed
those at NikOpolis have been abandoned by
the Turks, as no sign OF life has been seen on
them for two or three days
The News Vienna correspondent telegraphs
that the Turks have evacuated Nikopol;s.
Barely third part of the houses in Guiergevo
are left standing,
Cylinders filled with an extlnguishable com.
pound were fired between Rustchuk and Guir-
gevo. There seems an intention to attack Shum-
la from the east. 1t is supposed that the des-
tinaton of the British fleet is Turkish waters,
perhaps even Constantinople.
The Situation Reviewed.
LONDON July 1.-The long expected crisis
which Europe has been awaiting has virtually
passed without struggle. The Russian Left
IS ID force near Hirsova and all their troops be-
tween kalorash and Ismail, some 30 900, have
by this time passed the Danube and driven the
Turks to their second line of defence of Kus-
tendji and Roman walls. These present no
obstacles worth speaking of. 1t is otherwise
with kustendji itself. There have been some
heavy guns mounted but not more than Is. 600
men are there, including the posts and forces
driven in from the banks of the Danube We
may expect to hear speedily of the investment
of Kustendji by land. The Russian centre has
crossed at Simnitza easily and with trifing
loss General Milontine, the Russian War
Minister, sends telegram dated Simnitza
June 30, about the perations in Asia Minor,
but vouchsafes no word concerning Russian
progress at the point now the focus of the
worlds gaze Assuming, however, that the
crossing near Simnitza is as successful as that
on the left wing we may expect to hear soon of
the crossing at other points by which the Turk
ish Rustchuk and Varna line will be threatened
east and west by at least 100000 men. This
will force the Turks to wheel round and face
the Danube so that Shumla forms their centre
while rha left raStg Osman Razor nd ho
right on Bazardgin. The advance of the Rus
sian Roumanian right wing will paralyze Wild
den and thus leave the centre of Bulgaria
practically denuded of troops in the face of
another $4,000 or 100000 which the Russians
can pour across at Turnu Magurelli.

the lake during the day and sleeping in some

account of outrages and plundering by Kurds
throughout Armenia, which the authorities are
unable or unwilling to prevent.

ST. LOUIS, July 1.-Advices from O'Fallop

hail. The freight depot of the Ohio &; Missis-

tor belonging to Tiedman & Co. badly damag-
ed, and large cooper's shop blown down. The
Episcopal and Catholic churches were seriously
damaged. Several small buildings were blown
down, some stores lost their roofs and fences,
trees, &C., scattered about promiscuously. The
storm extended to Lebanon on the east, where
it did considerable damage, and southward
