The Russians last week Tuesday made 4
furious assault on the Turks of Plevna, anC
succeeded with heavy loss in capturing
three redoubts. Two Of these we're recap
tured by Osman Pasha's troops Wednes
lay. Gen. Skobeloff who commanded the
Russian left sent for achievements re-
peatedly in Wednesdays battle, but they
we're not sent him and after repulsing five
Turkish assaults he had to retire from the
Two redoubts.
The third redonbt, that of Grivica, was
held by the Russians at last accounts. The
loss of each side must have been at least
ten thousand in last weeks fighting before
Plevna. Levitzky, the Russian chief of
staff, seems to be an inefficient man and
manages to let his troops be slaughtered
without any good results. Rumors that
Osman Pasha has driven the Russians
4way from Plevna are confirmed, but COR
respondents agree that it is almost impos-
sible to take the place except by regular
,eige operations.
Meantime Suleiman Pasha has been re-
newing his attacks on Radetzky's forces in
The Shipka pass. He has taken Fort St.
Nicholas from them, but the story that the
pass itself has been taken is denied Sui
eiman has forty thousand men to Radetz-
ky's twenty-five thousand.
Mahemet Ali's forces to the east have
been quiet for the last few days but must
soon be heard from as an attack in that
quarter will be of advantage in relieving
the pressure on Plevna The Turks fight
like Turks and their success in baking the
Russian invasion thus far promises to make
he war long one for the Gar cannot af,
ord TO show himself unable to beat Tur-
Key when she has no allies. That would !
make RusSia's position in European poll
les one of little influence.

The 23d Ohio Regiment had its annual
reunion at Fremont last Friday. President
Hayes, its former colonel, was present,
and was reelected president of the regi-
mental society. The 23d had for its Col
onels Gen. W. S. Rosecrans, Gen. Sher-
man, Senator Stanley Mathews, and r. b.
Hayes. Gen. Sheridan, Gen. Rosecrans,
and many other distinguished officers were
present. The veterans, at the close of the
speech-making, went to the residence of
the president, and took supper with Mrs.
Hayes. The presidential party left Frem-
ont the next day, remained at Cincinnati
over Sunday, and went to Louisville Mon
day.

but scarcely more so than the complacent
conclusion of the Investigators, that these
powers are almost never abused. On the
contrary, they claim that most of tile per

curing this disease. The committee will
not probably report in favor of leaving the

different denominations of Vermont, al
Bellows Falls, Tuesday afternoon of this
week. At this meeting Mr.. Moody sub
mitted his plan of labor for the next few

him not only Ira D. Sankey, but Mayor
White and Mr.. Needham.
This delegation organized by electing

to Mr., Moody and his co-laborers to spend
The month of October in Vermont.
After listening to delegates from the diff

Mr.. Moody expressed hope that meet

that this committee would secure the SER
vices of other workers for other places.
Whether Mr. Moody visits other places in
Vermont depends upon how the work de-

New York, Sept. Is, 1877.
CATHOLICISM IN NEWARK.
A Catholic priest in Newark, named
Leonard, is taking hand in politics, As
we'll us religion. He commenced his SER
mon last Sunday with violent diatribe
against the free school system, denouncng
it as IL gross insult to "the church," and
one which every Catholic was bound by his
religion to oppose. He held that the
church alone had the right to control the
education of children, and that education
outside of the church could not be tolerat-
ed. Father Leonard went out of his way
to show that the church had the power to
enforce its demands. lie narrated how
only last fall, u man named O'Reilly, born
of Catholic parents, but who joined a
Protestant church, was candidate for
office, and how rs soon as he heard of it
he instructed his flock and the unfortunate
D Reilly did not get Catholic vote. And
Father Leonard notified the politicians
that the Catholic Church was unit, and
was controlled by the clerical authorities,
and that it would be felt this fall. The
sermon created great deal Of feeling in
the city, as all that the reverand gentle
man said is true, though his confreres have
more sense than to make their purposes
known so early in the game. When the
enormous Catholic population of the east
ern states is taken into account, together
with the fact that all Father Leonard said
rs to the Church's power is true, it is not
to be wondered at that such declaration
should excite comment
THE TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT.
The temperance organizations are dis
tributing tracts showing the cost of rum
to the city, with view of awakening a
deeper interest in the fight they are max
ing against it. The total number of ar
rests in the city for the quarter ending
Sept. 1s', was eighteen thousand four hun
dred and ninety three. Of these the num-
Der traceable directly to rum was fourteen
thousand and ninety! Probably half the
could be traced indirectly to
rum, but it is safe to say that four-f(ths of
The enormous police force required TO keep
The peace in the city, owe their employ
nent to rum, and ninety per cent. of the
crimes and casualties can be traced to
,he same cause. With these figures before
'ne, it is no wonder that the public de-
nand its regulation, at all events, and ex-
inction if possible.

The lovers of tea will be gratilied ia
know that teas are lower in the great i'm
porting houses than they were before the
war. The reduction has been brought
about by the decreasing demand. When
wages were high the laboring man not on
ly drank good tea, but bought it by the
pound, and the moderately well-off by the
chest, Now it is different. The laborine
man buys it by the ounce. and the better
off by the pound, and many have been led
to abandon the luxury altogether. Then
the course of the trade has changed. New
York is no longer the great importing
centre, for the western cities are receiving
it direct from China and Japan, via the
Pacific Railroad, and enormous quantities
have been rushed upon the American
market because of the improved facilities
for getting it. The importers with large
stocks on hand are suffering terribly, and
the fear is that the bottom is not yet reach

The look of the Hale Factory fire grows
worse and worse. 1t has been shown that
the enormous building. eight stories high,
and filed from cellar to garnet with the
most infammable material was entirely
unprovided with means of escape. Water
could not be drawn on the fourth story,
and there were not only no hose for the
extinguiShment of fire, but there were not
even fire buckets. The workmen were
compelled to bring their drinking water
from the third story; consequently when
the fire broke out among the varnishes and
seasoned lumber, there were no means of
checking it, and an hundred men and
women persisted miserably in the flames
But Mr.. Hale will get his insurance on his
burned buildings and stock, and will put
up another just such trap.

Speaking of Hale, it is fact that though
his was one of the largest piano factories
in the world, he never made piano that
bore his name. His business was building
bogus pianos, forging as nearly as he could
the names of reputable makers. Thus he
would put out piano under the name of
" Steinmay & Sons" which an ignorant or
careless person would purchase supposing
it to be a Steinway. The Weber piano
he would brand as Weber," and so OH
through the whole list of respectable max
ers. He has been prosecuted time and
again, but he always managed to just
keep out of the clutches of the law. There
are great many of these sham concerns
in this city, and hereabouls, and buyers of
pianos want to know of whom they buy. -

Intermittent and remittent fevers, urn-
airy and uterine troubles, depurates the
blood, counteracts a tendency to rhcu-
matism and govt, and relieves nervous

uses. Such an article Is Hostettcr's

pcated rccognltions in the columns Of
leading American aud foreign journals.
1t is highly esteemed in every part Of

regarded as u reliable criterion of its
