LATEST FOREIGN ADVICES.

LONDON. October pa general view
of the war in Bulgaria at the present
moment separates the combatants into
three groups. Suleiman Pasha, giving
upall thought of relieving Plevna, stands
at bay on a new line, with Rasgrad as the
central pivot. In this position he
can readily fall back on Varna and
Shumla in case of defeat, and will be
able to oppose Zimmerman with su-
perior force, and, at the same time, can
greatly hinder the Russians in any opera
tions that may be undertaken against
Rustchuk or Silistria. The main point
to bear in mind, however, is that the
eastern Turkish army has no longer any
tactical connection with the west
ern. On the latter side Ghazi
Osman is left to do the best he
can for himself, a very serious matter as
Gen. Gourko is already beginning to
harass the communication of Plevna
with Sofia. A third group at Schipka,
where fighting appears as going on al
most daily without result. Indications
are not wanting that Raouf Pasha in
tends to reinforce Suleiman Pasha with
the bulk of his command.

endeayoring to break the market by bring

when the supply is exhausted the Standard

price.

Dan gerous Sport.

A lady was recently out walking, ac-
companied by her nurse and two chill
dren, near St. Louis, when one of the
latter was missed for a few moments.
On being called he answered from lit
tie distance:
"Here l am, mamma, behind the
stump. Pm playing with big, beauti-
full worm. Eve got chip; and it opens
its mouth ever so wide when / touch its
teeth with the chip"
Anxious to see the character of the
child's playmate, the two women went
to the spot, when, behold! they saw
rattlesnake, two feet long, coiled against
the butt of the stump, and the child
thrusting the chip against its head. The
snake appeared perfectly passive, not
even giving the usual warning with It's
rattles. 1t is needless, perhaps, to say
that the mother was frightened beyond
the power of motion. The nurse quickly
moved the child, and one of the hands
dispatched the dangerous playmate.

A 81 Louis paper recently published the

A St Louis paper recently published the
diary OF a tramp who died, apparently from
exposure, near that city some time ago. and
an effort seems TO be made in some quarters
10 get up feeling Of sympathy for that class
of persons because the writer of the record in
question had evidently been a man OF fair
intelligence and education.
This effort should not be successful,-a
least not on the grounds assigned, nor on
account OF any facts which appear in this
particular case. There is no reason, in the
first place. why men of fair intelligence and
education" may not become the most con-
firmed, depraved and dangerous of tramps.
On the contrary, they are apt 10 be very
worst OF their class once their ms tincts turn
their steps In that direction. Then again
there Is nothing in the record OF this mans
wanderings, so far a. We have read il, that
showed him to be in the slightest degree
deserving OF sympathy or aid during his life
time. His diary sets forth with considerable
fullness his daily and nightly experiences
where and how he slept, where he got food,
and perhaps more important than all, where
he was supplied with whiskey;-but, signifi
cantly enough, there is not a single word in
IL to show that he ever earnestly and in good
faith applied any where for work. There is,
to be- sure, in one days entry a remark that
<
in the next that he walked to Greensburg
but got no work." but no reason is assigned
for not getting it-whether there was no work
to be had,-whether the wages didn't suit, or
whether he really didn't apply for it;-no
expression OF disappointment at his hard
fate In being refused employment and
Obliged TO beg for the necessariss of life, in
stead of being able 10 earn a livelihood by
honest toll and thus become once more-if he
ever had been-a respectable and selfrespect-
Ing citizen. His whole walk appears, ln-
deed to have been along the main routes of
travel, and generally in the vicinity o. if not
actually upon the great railway lines, and
never once touched the rural districts proper,
where willing intelligent labor is nearly al
ways needed for the cultivation OF the land
and the care and gathering of the various
crops, and where a decent man who is dis
posed 10 work can at all times escape actua |
want. 1t is clear from this mans own story,
that, even though he is dead, he cannot be
made into hero.

The statement is made that there are . 900
more Indians on the continent than there
were when the country was first settled. "An
experienced Indian officer is credited with
this statement, which is ridiculously az
surd- 1t seems 10 be based on the fact tina.
The government rations more Indians now
than IL did in former years. This is quite
true, and as an instance IL may be stated
That ten years ago the government did not
issue rations TO the Sioux, who number
5000 or 1000 souls. But this does not prove
that the Indians have actually increased. /.
On the contrary, indications point to their
Slow but steady reduction In numbers. The
ninth census is authority for the statement
that the number of civilized Indians de-
Creased from a ,02l in 1850 TO 5,731 in lslO II
This large decrease took place in a single de-
cade among Indians set down as civilized,
the reduction in numbers must have been
much larger In proportion among the wild
tribes, who for years have been decimating
thelr ranks by wars among themselves and
with the whites. As an American institu-
ton, We fear the red man is not a perma- :
nency.
