LONDON, Dec H.
The Russian official account of the
capture of Plevna confirms the detail Is al
ready telegraphed. 1t says the Turks
captured. The counting of the prisoners
and trophies is not yet completed. THIS
Emperor was present to-day at thanks
giving service held on the site OF the
former headquarters of OSman Pasha.
A Reuter- telegram from Verbitza
states that the Gear will start for s.,
Petersburg on Saturday. He has visited
Osman Pasha and returned to him his
sword IN recognition of his brav-
cry.
A Constantinople dispatch says a
grand council was held to-day at the
| War Office. 1t is said it was resolved to
carry on the war to the last eXtrem-
lity.
The Daliy Ne,cs has the following spe-
cial from Pievua: For the last three days
the Russians knew that Osman Pasha's
provisions were exhausted and that
sortie was preparing. They received
trate his whole army near the bridge over
the river Vid. This news was confirmed
during the night by General Skobelotf,
who discovered that the Turks had
silently evacuated the Krishina redouot
and all their positions on Green hill.
General SKobelotf occupied these. AT
In the morning Osman crossed the Wa
by two bridges and attacked the Russian
positions with such fury that they captur-
ed eight cannon and in a few minutes al
most aunihilated the Sibersky Grenadier
Regime at. The Turks then found themsel-
YES under the fire of hundred cannon of
the Russian second line, and were attack
ed by the Grenadiers, who resolved to re-
capture their guns The Turks were
driven back after fifteen minutes
bayonet fight, but continued to fire from
the shelter of the banks of the Vid until
1890 p M, when the firing ceased on Doth
sides and quarter of an hour Afterwards
Osman sent an envoy to treat for surrend-
er. Osman's wound in the leg is not
serious. a.r

THE Sewers.

"AIl seed is in the sewers hands. "-ROssETTI
Ten thousand sewers through the land
Passed needless on their way;
Ten thousand seeds in every hand
OF every sort had they.
They cast seed here, they cast seed there,
They cast seed everywhere.
The land forest straightway grew,
With plants of every kind;
And kindly fruits, and poisonous too,
In that wood could you find;
For trees grew here and trees grew there,
And trees grew everywhere.
Anon, as many year went by,
Those sewers came once more, ...
And wandered meath the leaf-hid sky,
And wondered at the store;
For fruit hung here, and fruit hung there,
And fruit hung everywhere.
Then plucked they many berry bright,
None could their right deny;
And some ate to their long delight,
And some ate but to die;
While some plucked here and some pluckes
there, eAf@
And some plucked everywhere.
Nor knew they in that tangled wood
The trees that were their own;
Yet as they plucked Jas each one should,
Each plucked what he had sown.
SO do men here, so men do there,
SO men do everywhere.

Refusing a Fortune.

Who would believe it possible to find
poor man refusing a fortune of $780,
600? Yet such an original being is now
to be found in France. His name is
Auguste Eugene Pothicr, and he follows
the calling of n stableman in a hotel at
Orleans. Some months ago his mother
died in Paris, and in her will left him
the sum named, which was duly deposited
by the notary at the Caisse des Despots
ct Consignations. M. Pothier was in
formed of the fact, and requested to
come and fetch his money, but he paid
no attention to the letter. Again he was
written to, but in vain-he went on
smoking his pipe and cleaning his
horses with the utmost indifference. At
length the notary, who wanted to get the
affair off his hands, took out summons
against him. Still it was Of no avail
Auguste Eugene Pothier preferred to
be mulcted in fine and costs for not an
swering the legal mandate. And so the
matter rests at present. It is said that
the stableman, on being demonstrated
with for his singular conduct, replied:
e. have always heard that money is the
root of all evil, so it may just as we'll
stay where it is" NJ. Auguste Euguene
Pothier deserves to have prominent
place in the exhibition next year.
