AN EXTRAORDINARY Episode OF
THE WAR IN THE ATTACK ON
KACELYEVO.

AS the Russians began to waver aud
their fire to slackcn as the Turks were
pressing forward VITA increased vigour,
a young Russian off Ger was seenaaatanding
just behind one Of their Bate ling-
his sword and boldly encouragin8M med
to stand Underground. Over md ovefagain
he SrAlIlad she troops who were pouring
out OF the trench, but it was of no use ;
it was not in his power alone to stem tho
tide OF victory. His men, animated by
bis example, turned and held their owe
for q few minutes, but the fire vas too
heavy for any humln thing to stay and live.
They could not bear it. They fell on
their knees and entreated him to fly, but
not an inch would be stir, and at last he
stood for more than a minute absolutely
alone, save for the dying and the dead
piled in heaps around him. 1t could only
end one way amid the storm Of bullets
which were raining round him thick az
hail ; one at last found its way TO that
noble heart. and he fell dead. AS the
Turks swept over the parapet and dashed
pact the spot where he lay, the Colonel.
struck by the boys extraordinary courage
and devotion, gave orders that he should
be decently buried. In the evening he
reported to the COmmander-in Chief that
the body was that of a girl. 1 give this
most astounding declaration ot-the Colonel
upon the authority of ono of tho En1lish
officers on the Ssrdar'sAsSIsh 1tNus
me hat he was actually present whsn ~
was made. 1t seems almost incredible (;
but, true or false, no Drawer heart ever
beat than now sleeps in that little grave
on the sunny slope OF Kacelye7o.-Tsmes.

on the 1st February. 1877, I cut the canes
which were produced by this single germ
or bud" They numbered, excluding rot
ten and unripe canes, 11s perfect " Sugar"
canes, yielding in length together 1921 #.
81 in., weighing 663 lbs. produced 4O@
gallons of juice at 9Bo Beaume, and trash
and icons" weighing 2 cwt. I have
since planted a few more buds in this way,
and they are growing, but I find that they
must be handled carefully and first soaked
for some hours in water. The root Of
canes l have described was the finest I
ever saw; aud every one else who saw it,
including several planters, say the same.
Who knows whether the day may not
come when a bushel basket will contain
seed ecoush for a large cane field, and
such seed produce more and better canes.

NEWSPAPERS IN RUSSIA

-
But do the newspapers in Russia really
represent public opinion? To this ques-
ton many people will unhesitatingly reply
in the negative. There is, it may be said,
a strict Press c%ensure, and wherever such
an institution exists the newspapers must
be mere PUPPETS of which the strings are
pulled by the Government. How can an
editor speak freely and openly when he
has always the Press Censor in his minds
eye. and knows that he may by an incau-
tious word bring down on himself the
dlspleasuve Of arbitrary oficiAls7 No
paper can be really honest and indepen-
uncontrolled fat ola Committee or a Minis
ter. Such is the conclusion at which we
naturally arrive by a priori reasoning.
But here, as in SO many other cases, the
a priOrl conclusion is not quite in accord.
ance with reality. The Russian Press is
certainly not independent, as we under
stand the term. An editor rarely ventures
to publish anything which be knows TO
be highly displeasing to the Government.
II he does commit such an imprudent act,
the number containing the Objectionable
article will probably be coniscated, and
some disciplinary punishment, such as
temporary suppression, involving serious
pecunIary loss, is pretty sure to follow.
Yer, strange to say. Notwithstanding these
heavy letters, the Russian Press has very
decided Independent opinions, and con-
trlves In some measure TO express them.
Censorial regulations have developed a
peculiar style of writing, quite unknown
IN countries where such regulations DO
not exist. An experienced Russian
journalist can say by implication or by
silence much that he could not venture
to say in plain words, and the public
accustomed to this peculiar style OF COM
position, has no difficulty in "reading
between the lines" Thus any one who
knows Russia and Russian literature init
mately can obtain from the Press a tolera-
bly, correct idea Of the public opinion
among the educated classes. It would be
difficult to lay down precise exegetical
rules, but | may cite one principle by way
OF illustration. AS the Censor exercises a
merely repressive influence, and never
seeks to instigate or inspire, we may be
sure that when the Press advocates any
cause warmly the cause has really the
sympathy of the public. In this respect
the position of the Government is analo-
gous TO that of the administration of cer-
tain French theatres it does mot allow
Kissing or other marks of disapprobation,
out It cannot compel the public to
applaud. Of course it has, like the thea- /.

Putting q Bull to the Test.

They had discussion over at Miller's
the other day about bulls. Mr.. Miller
said that it was all nonsense to talk about
bull being excited and made furious by
red rag. He said he had an ugly-tem-
pered Devon bull over in the field who
would take it like lamb if you would
stake the flags of all the nations in his
face. DR.. Robinson said that Miller
daren't try it, and Miller bet Robinson
that he would. SO Miller went into the
house and loaded himself up with red
flannel undershirt, and we all walked out
to the field. The bull was there, looking
as calm as a summer morning. Miller
climbed the fence, and went toward the
animal, keeping the shirt behind him.
As he came close to the bull be suddenly
produced the shirt, and flirted it in the
bulls face. The beast jumped back a
yard or two in establishment, and kept
his eye on Miller, while Miller waved the
old vermilion garment vigorously. Then
the bull shook his head several times, as
if he declined to have anything to do
with the business; and Miller turned to-
ward us and put his thumb to his nose
and wiggled his fingers; while he was
making this signal of victory, an idea
seemed to strike the bull. He put his
head down and moved swiftly forward
Miller at first thought there had been an
earthquake. He was hurled up twenty
feet, and when he struck the ground he
made another ascension. Upon his de-
scent he though the would try to run. but
Devon short-horn was inserted in his
trousers, and again he went up high
enough to make ird's-eye view Of the
surrounding country. On the twenty
fifth descent he fell on the other side of
the fence from the bull, and we picked
him up. His clothes were in ribbons
His nose was furled and bloody, and his
mouth was full of grass and mud.
We asked him how he felt; but he
said nothing. We inquired concerning
the condition of his bones, but he made
no reply. We asked if his views about
bulls had undergone any change, but he
walked silently along. We wanted to
know how he enjoyed the scenery the
last time he went up, but he would not
say. He merely went into the house,
filed up both barrels of his gun with
old nails, and screws, and scraps of iron,
and then he went out to interview that
bull. The animal was corpse in ten
minutes, and then Miller peeled his I'M
dershirt and went up stairs to bed.
We know what his views are now, al
though he doesn't express them freely

The SciHa is one of the most lovely
of all the dubious flowers and is perfectly
hardy.
The Lily Of tho Valley is perhaps the
most deservedly and universally popular
of all the bulbs. The purity of its white
flowers, the rare delicacy and grace of its
habit, and it's most delicious fragrance
combine to make it an appropriate bridal
ornament, for which purpose it is used
almost as much rs the Orange flower.
The skillful florists force it into flower
at all times in winter, but its management
when forced is rather too difficult for
success in the window Of q common
house.
Bulbs that have been forced are hardly
worth saving for replanting, but can be
made to bear an inferior crop Of flowers
by allowing them to remain in the pots
till after the leaves drop and then taking
them out and keeping them dry till the
next fall. The Cyclamen needs little
different treatment. The pots should be
plunged out of doors in May, and the
bulbs repotted in fresh earth in fall; or
the bulbs can be taken out Of the pots
and planted in the garden and repotted
in fall. This is one of the most beauti-
full and lovely Of all the winter flowers
that can be raised In the house.
The bulbs are excellent plants for
house culture; they will endure the dry
heat and dust Of IN ordinary parlor
better than most other plants, and are not
infested BY insects.
