Nothing specially new from Howard.
Joseph at date of last dispatches was
making a lively run for the buffalo
country with Howard close on his heels
with nearly 5000 men, and Gov. Pats
with his Montana volunteers, tearing
down on his flank, hoping to strike his
front and with Howard, bag the game.
1t is felt here among military men
that the late Russian reverses have
postponed the capture of Constantine
pie for many weeks, if not months; and
they have probably delayed the armed
intervention by England in behalf of
the Turk, which she had evidently de-
termined upon had the latter proved
unable to check the advance of Russia's
legions. ;,

The story of an Oshkosh man who
took up collection at the funeral of
his wife, which is going the rounds as
illustrating mean man, says the La
crosse San, is explained by the fact
that the bereaved man is church
deacon, and for 20 years had always
taken up collection while the choir
was singing the second time. At the
funeral when the choir struck up ''Old
Hundred" before he thought what he
was doing, he got up and passed the
hat, as usual, to raise money to defray
the necessary expenses. When his
attention was called to it, after the
funeral, and he thought how his motive
would be misconstrued, he felt as bad
about 1t as anybody. It was not an
evidence Of meanness, but a case Of
absence Of mind

FIGHTING is still going on in Bulga-
ria, but not of sufficient magnitude to
be decisive. It is reported that the
Russians have been repulsed in an at
tack on Lovatz, about twenty miles
southeast of Plevna; and also that they
suffered a like treatment near Rasgrad.
To offset these reported defeats, it is
stated that the Russians repulsed an
attack of 5000 Turkish cavalry at
Lascar, near Plevna, but made no at
tempt to follow up the victory, the
Grand Duke Nicholas not wishing to
waste the lives of his troops in mere
skirmlsh. The Russians have resumed
the offensive in Asia, but no result has
yet been attained.

MAXWELL.
A Submerged City.

A strange discovery is reported from
the Lake Of Geneva. A tourist having
lost his trunk, two divers were employed
to search for it. While they were be-
low water they found what they sup
posed to be village. since covered by
the lake. Their statement led to an
Investigation of the spot by the muni-
cipal authorities, who took measures to
ascertain tie truth of the extraordinary
account of the divers Ga covering
the placid surface with oil, these latter
were able to distinguish the plan of
town, streets, squares, and detached
houses marking the bed of the lake.
The ruddy hue which characterized
them led the Observers to suppose that
the buildings had been covered with
the famous yermillion cement which
was used by the Celts, Cimbri and the
early Gauls. There are about 200
houses arranged over an oblong surface,
near the middle of which is a space
more open, supposed to have been used
for public assemblages. Atthe eastern
extremity lies a large square tower,
which was taken for rock. A super
fetal investigation seems to indicate
that the construction of these buildings
dates from some centuries before our
era. The Council of Vaud has decided
to have the site Of the dwelling inclosed
by jetty stretching from the land, and
to drain off the water, so as to bring to
light what promises to be one of the
most interesting archaeological discov-
cries Of our day.

GYPSY RoMANCE.-The Neenah

gypsy band !:
The Gypsies who have lately left
Malison have encamped out near this
city. They have some rough-l looking
men, but most beautiful looking women.
The chief has daughter of nineteen
years, who is of surprising loveliness,
a queen among queens, said to be the
most beautiful woman in the country,
combining healthful Anglo Saxon blood
and Italy's warm nature. The chief,
it is said has tired Of his nomadic
manner of living, and will give the
hand of his daughter and dowry of
$4,000 to any young man with proper
credentials as to morality and standing
in social life, who will marry this
beautiful queen.

Seven Weeks In A Small Boat.

A correspondent of the London
Daily Neaos at Penzance, speaking of
the arrival at that place of Captain
Crspo and his wife, who left New Bed
ford on May 28th in a small boat, says
"The voyage was commenced on May
2Sth, when the vessel left New Bed
ford, but by stress of weather she had
to put into Chatham. Mass, where she
stayed until the I'd of June, when the
sails were again hoisted, and the little
pygmy left on her perilous voyage with
a fair wind All went we'll for three
days, the wind being southwest and the
sea calm. The wind then changed to
southeast, and it came on foggy for
four days, and continued foggy up to
the time when they reached the Grand
Banks, seventeen days out. After
leaving the banks, where they lay to in
gale for fifteen hours, the weather
improved, and they sailed on till the
2lst of June, when another gale was
encountered. While lying to, the New
Bedford spoke the steamer Batavia,
from which assistance was offered, and
the offer was made to take them on
board, which was pluckily declined.
After this incident they encountered
succession of gales. the only wonder
being that they survived. to tell the
story. During the voyage, which occu-
pied forty-nine days, the rudder broke,
but happily there was spare oar on
board, which was used until the first
could be repaired The seas were
running mountains high, and during
that time, even when lying down to
rest, they had to lie on wet clothes.
On one occasion the Captain was for
seventy hours steering without relief,
the weather being so frightful. and on
another he was eighteen hours conse-
cutively attending to the drogue.
Captain Crapo says he could not have
stood another fifteen days; indeed, he
had not slept for seventy hours when
he landed. His average sleep while
coming across was under four hours a
day. Among the many extraordinary
things connected with the voyage is
that it had to be run by dead reckon
ing, as the New Bedford was not equal
to chronometer. Only on two occa-
sions could they get their longitude.
When speaking the two vessels Captain
Crapo had intended to make for Fal
mouth, but the wind was against it.
Captain and Mrs. Crapo seemed won
derlully we'll after the hardships they
had undergone, though the Captain
has bad hand, and when be came on
shore his other hand was firmly clenched
after seventy hours steering. The
house they stopped at was invaded by
persons eager to shake hands with SO
brave couple. The boat was also vi
sited by numbers. Captain Crapo
thinks of going on to Falmouth, and
afterward to London and the Paris
Exhibition.

ANECDOTE or DANIEL WEBSTER.
During one Of their college vacations,
Daniel and his brother returned to
their fathers in Salisbury Thinking
he had a right to some return for the
money he had expended on their edu.
cation, tho father put scythes into
their hands and ordered them to NOW.
Daniel made q few sweeps, and then
resting bis scythe, wiped The sweat
from lis brow. His father said,
" What's the matter, Dan Z" "My
scythe don't hang right, sir" he an
sWered. His father fixed it, and Dan
went To work again, but with no bet
ter success. Something was the mat
ter with the scythe, and it was not
long before it wanted fixing again, and
the father said i'm a pet: Well, hang
lit 10 suit yourself" Daniel, with
great c0mposure, hung ii in the next
tree and retired.
