HORRIBLE ATROCITIES.

VIENNA, July 10.-The Tagsblat,

tiles committed by Circassians and
Bashi-bazouks after the regulars had
evacuated the Dobrudscha. At Ko.
resti every Christian house was pill.
iaged and many persons wounded, in
Guiding some clergymen.
AT another place the Mayor of q
German colony, named Balseer, was
killed before the eyes of his wife and
child. Several other German protes.
tants were killed and the murderers
sacked a protestant church. Three
colonies are entirely destroyed.
TURKISH WEAKNESS.
A special from Vienna to the
Times says the abandonment of the
line of the Yantra by the Turks is
the more surprising since, to Judge
from the stout defence Of the bridge
and position at Bella, where the
Turks were defeated in the first at
tack of the Russians. with consider
able loss, it might have been sup
posed they intended to defend that
line ut all hazards, and by thus
threatening their flank prevent
the Russians from advancing into the
interior. The Turks have since COM
pletely suppressed all information
about the disposition and movements
of their troops, SO that not even an
idea can be formed as to what they
mean to do. This either shows their
utter helplessness or else a very deep
laid plan, that they should have neg
lected the brilliant opportunities Of
meeting the Russians to advantage
The Tunes, in leading article,
saysit believes the Russians cannot
advance in force upon the Balkans
until they have secured their com
munications by constructing a posi-
ton on the Danube as strong as any
in the possession.of the Turks. This

Everywhere he was popular. and no

prospects for tho future. At tho age
Of twenty-threo he married ap heir
css, and his happiness seemed COM
plete.
Ia an evil hour, however, he be-
came addicted TO drink, and then
misiortunes camo thick and fast. His
wiic died, his own health was broken
down, his business fell OF, aud step
by step he was ruined.
His wifcs relations disowned him,
and all deserted him save an older
sister, she clung to him with a true
devotion trying to save him. FL
pally he descended to tho lowest
depths of drunkenness, and became
u drunken sot. Still tho sister hold
OF. Sho would oot give up.
With much difficulty she got him
into au inebriate asylum, and by ten-
dor nursing restored him to reason
and sobriety. by this time all lis
own means and his sisters had been
exhausted, and they camo hither in
quest of employment After various
experiences he got a situation as q
chorus singer in an operatio troupe,
aud then attracted notice by his ar
tistic singing, until no was employed
10 his present place on handsome
salary. Hc is entirely cured of drin-
