Russian Soldiers on the March.

The correspondent of London news
paper, writing of some battalions of Rus
sian infantry proceeding to Galatz in
heavy marching order, says: They
came along in loose order, struggling all
over the chausee, at a pace close on to
four miles an hour-a long, logged,
steady tramp, clumsy to look at, but I'M
deniably lasting. The rank and file in
but few cases were tall men, but were
burly, square-set fellows, bread in the
shoulders, deep in the chest, but clean
in the TANKS, as I have noticed most
Russians are. They wore kept of
French shape, blue, with red band round
it, blue tulic, longer and looser in the
skirts than ours Of the German tunic, and
had their loose blue trousers showed into
long boots, reaching over the calf Of leg,
quite up to the knee. The knapsack was
of the German pattern, neatskin, with
the hair left on, badly carried by cross
belts over the chest. The rifle was the
Berdan, and the men marched with fixed
bayonets, although they carried bayonet
scabbards. The Russian infantryman
carries no sword, as does his German
comrade. His belts are of black leather,
and SO he escapes being chronic victim
to pipeclay. The tente d'abri was car
ried in three pieces, and every man car
ried his own kettle on the back of his
knapsack A certain proportion of the
men carried intrenching tools, and near
ly every one had some extra weight
dangling about him. One pair of new
boots strapped on his knapsack, another
a bundle containing who knows what
a third a billet of wood for the camp fire,
and so on. They carried their heavy
brown great-coats rolled over the left
shoulder in the same manner as the Ger
mans do theirs. The detachment had
marched some fifteen miles in heavy
marching order, as [ have described,
with three days rations in their haver-
sacks, and not a man had fallen out
Each battalion was followed by two large
wagons, drawn by four horses harnessed
abreast, containing the baggage of the
officers. There was an ambulance
wagon, or rather carriage, conveying
the battalion surgeons stores, instru-
ments and medical appliances, couple
of forage carts, and this was all the train
of two battalions marching to commence
a campaign that, put the time as low as
you will, must be measured by months.
Of course, don't include ammunition
wagons in the train in this sense. The
men looked hard, brown and healthy.
AS they swung along with those great
strides of theirs, they made light of their
heavy kit, and sang with wonderful taste
and great vivacity. In fine, I never saw
soldiers in better condition and better
heart for the varied phases Of campaign
marching, campaigning and fighting"

The Last Siege of Gibraltar.

The most memorable, in some respects,
of all the fourteen sieges to which Glib
raltar has been subjected was the last,
called the "great SIEGE one of the
mighty struggles of history, which be-
gan in the year 1879. The famous Gen.
Elliott was commander of the fortress.
Spain, in alliance with France and Mo-
rocco, endeavored to surprise Gibraltar,
but a Swedish ship gave Elliott the
alarm. The garrison comprised but five
companies Of artillery, and the whole
force was less than $500 men. The
enemys force was $4,000. The siege
began by the blockading Of the port, and
a camp was formed at San Rogue with
the design of starving out the garrison.
When the English Governor resolved to
open fire upon his besiegers, a lady in
the garrison fred the first shot. Never
did a siege war rage more furiously than
did this for nearly three years. The
garrison was often reduced to sore straits
for food; ga goose was worth'a guinea"
and Elliott tried upon himself the ex-
pertinent of living upon four ounces of
rice day for week. Exciting stories
are told of the privateers that ran in,
amid terrible dangers, with provisions,
and of the storms which threw welcome
wood and cork within reach of the be-
sieged. The rock at one time would
surely have been taken had it not been
for Admiral Rodney, who, sailing off the
strait, captured small feet of Spanish
war ships and merchantmen, and. clear
ing the strait of besiegers, broug ht his
prizes into port. But all danger was
not yet averted; Gibraltar was again
'blockaded; sculvy broke out in the gar
rison, and Morocco refused her harbors
to English ships. The enemy crept
closer and closer to the fortress, but re-
lief coming every now and then enabled
the English still to hold out The bonn
bardments were fearful to endure. '"The
city was almost destroyed; scarcely a
house habitable, and those left standing
pierceds by shot and SHE'LL At one
time the desperate garrison fell to plum
derlng the town. Elliott shot the lead
ers In this outrage. The long agony.
full OF terrible combate and frightful
prlvations, ended by the final abandon
ment of the siege early in 1888. If in
that year the English had to make up
their minds that they must let 60 their
American colonies, they had at least the
consolation that Gibraltar was still theirs.

Up the BOSphOrus.

Dr1fung cautiously down to the mouth
OF the Golden Horn, picking our way
among the shipping that is anchored in
nid-stream, we turn away from the point
OF the Seraglio, head due north. and find
ourselves entering river. This is the
Bosphorus; it might be the Hudson, or
any other winding stream that has green
walls and is lovely to look upon. Just
think Of it for a moment. On our right
the eastern shore is Asia; on our left, to
the west, is Europe; at our back is the
Sea OF Marmora, and in two hours we
shall have come to the waters of the
Black sea. The channel turns so alb
ruptly at times that seven land-locked
lakes are formed, each more charming
than the last. Palaces, villas, villages
line the delicious shores; the hills brood
over the waters like hanging gardens of
delight. I believe that the remarkable
beauty of the Bosphorus is positively
unequaled in the world, for nature has
made here bed for art to dream in.
Behold two continents, face to face, like
rival queens, CHASING themselves be-
tween two classic seas. We are cruising
between the Pontus and the Propontis, the
Euxine and Marmora. We swing from
shore to shore; pause for few moments
at each landing; exchange passengers,
and have ever about us a landscape that
is renewed at every turn, and surprise
that is as fresh when we steam up the
Golden Horn at sunset as at the hour
when we came out of it with our hearts
full OF expectation. Charles Warren

Playing Tramp for Effect and
What Came OF II.

COLUMBUS, o, October l4.-This morn
ing boolbIsck named Thomas O'Brien,
supposed to be from Baltimore, was
crushed 10 death between two cars near
the Union Depot. No one saw the acci.
nent, but it is supposed O'Brien was sit
ting on the track oblivious Of moving
trains.
This morning three tramps boarded a
moving coal train near Lancaster, on the
Hooking Valley Railroad, for the purpose
Of stealing ride. When near Groveporl,
they cut the train in three parts for the
purpose OF escaping, but they over did the
business, for when the coupling pins we're
pulled the train was on down grade.
and the men were on the middle section.
The speed Of the detached cars was great,
and when near the bottom OF the grade the
rear section ran into the middle one with
terrific force throwing it irom the track
and burying one tramp under ten tons OF
coal killing him instantly and breaking
the leg Of second man. The third man
escaped, it is supposed, without injury.
The dead mans name ia supposed 10 be

Aquatic.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, October l3.-The Eve
mile sculling match between Evan Nor.
ris and Patsy Luther, for $1,000 a aide
and the championship OF America, was
rowed over the Upper Allegheny course,
near Hutton Station, this afternoon, and
was won by Morris. The water was very
smooth, weather fair, and the river banks,
on both sides OF the course, were thickly
lined with people. The course begins
three hundred yards above Hutton and
extends down the river to the head of
Nine-mile Island and back, and is said
to be half mile longer than than the
course over which Coulter and Morris
pulled.
Shortly before FIVE a'clock Luther made
his appearance and was quickly follow.

cellent condition. Luther won The toss
for position and chose the Allegheny side,
and at seven minutes before Eve the word
was given, and the men pulled out, with
Morris in the lead. Al Hutton Station
Luther had gained the lead and was
shooting through the water like an ar.

pulling beautiful stroke. The heavy
cheering showed that Lulher's friends
were the more numerous, although the
betting was in Morris favor. A short
distance below Hutton Luther was still
in the lead, but in turning the bend Of
the river Morris crept up upon hin, and
Luther was seen to be losing ground.
When the men reached Monrose, op.

lengths ahead, and both pulling desper.

The excitement was very great, as
Luther was evidently bent on closing the
gap between them. Morris, however, was
handling his oars with great vigor, and

to maintain his position, and passed the
winning point fully four lengths ahead.
