A lew days ago Russian Mohainmeuah
appeared at Van saying that he could not,
in the ranks of the Russian army, fight his
co-religionists, the Turks, and expressed
desire to enter the Turkish army. lie was
received most cordially, given position OF
rank, and Immediately went to the front.
After few days, during which time he had
fine opportunity to learn everything about
the Turkish forces and the Turkish plans.

clude they Lad been outwitted. While
they are busy deyising extraordinary ways OF
defending themselves against those who have
never mcditated any harm. their ayowed
enepies are able to carry on boldly their
plans Of intrigue.
As result of this vigilance of
the government to keep everything
secret, the widest rumors circulate,
many of which, in the eagerness Of
correspondents to forward early and start
ling news, get into pint. One day Mars is
invested or has fallen. The next day this is
contradicted and it IL As positively asserted
that the Russians are flying across the Dor

to be that the Russians have not found it SO
easy as they supposed to rarei in Armenia
The Turks have held the line they first took
up and have inflicted severe loss on the Rus

Erzeroum before the middle of June, must
now begin to amend their reckonings.

tempted to excite the tramps and thieves to
a riot failed signally, and the city is as quiet
as mill pond. The credit for this is DUE
entirely, to the Mayor and the police.
Twenty-six hundred men, thoroughly armed,
were on duty all of last week ss policemen,
and all the militia regiments of the city were
at their posts At the first intimation OF
riot the mob would have had this enormous
force to meet, and every rifle and revolver
was loaded with ball cartridge. The in
structions were definite to shoot at the riot
ers first, and over their heads the second vol
lev. There was to be killing if riot was
provoked. The Communists understood this,
and they were very careful to give no occa-
sion for military interference. The Com
munists are very shady now, and claim that
they did not intend any trouble.
But it is well known that they
did intend to raise riot and
sack the city. They had their prepara-
tons all made. They expected the railroad
people to strike, and then all the Communists
would Join them, and, the thieves and tramps
falling in, there would be force enough to
take possession of the city. Then buildings
would have been fired, and the city
would have been plundered. But no mob
dare face an organized military force, and as
soon as the conspirators knew that the au,
thorities were prepared for them, II all died
out. Mayor Ely is entitled to great deal OF
credit for nipping in the bud what was IN

JAY GOULD FOUNDED.

The city was astonished, and delighted as
well, on Thursday by the intelligence that
stock-broker named Selover had beaten Jay
Gould. 1t appeared that Could was carrying
a great deal more OF Atlantic and Paclhc
Telegraph stock than he wanted, and he did
not have As much Western Union as he
needed to control that gigantic concern.
Seloyer, Keene, the Californian. and other
operators were in tight place with various
stocks that thew had, and they appealed to
Gould to help them. Gould agreed to do
this, for he was short Of the stocks they
were overloaded with, and he lolned the
conicderacy upon an agreement int they
would lei him have 10000 shares OF their
stock, Just enough to save HIM from loss
and that thew should as n matter OF safety
unload their Western Union They did
so, and Gould's brokers bought every share
of Western Union they put upon the
market. BY this smart operation he got
stocks enough at n low price to cover what
he needed, and got possession oil western
Union. Ii was a wonderfully acute transne-
ton, and he made mint OF money by IT.
Naturally they we're indignant at this piece
OF sublimated rascality, and kecnc tried to
shoot him. Selovcr did not attempt to
ayenge himself with the pistol, but he
went for Mr.. Gould the first time he met
him, knocked him down an area, and
bounded him till he was half killed. Sci
over says he did it to brand HIM as
liar, thief. IL scoundrel, and man who
is incapable Of doing fair or square
thing. Gould is, doubtless, the most un,
scrupulous man living, as well as one OF
the most shrewd and daring. lie knowsno

A Modern Ruth.

A very pretty story is told in the
Pittsburgh Commercial. A young lady
from the South was wooed and won by a
young California physician. About the
time the wedding was to come off the
young man lost his entire fortune. He
wrote the lady q letter releasing her
from her engagement. And what does
the dear, good girl do? Why, she takes
lump of gold which her lover had sent
her in his prosperity as a keepsake, and,
having it manufactured into a ring, for
wards it to him with the following Bible
inscription engraved in distinct char
acters on the outside 60 Entreat me not
to leave thee, or to return from following
after thee for whittier thou goest will I
go, and whittier thou lodgest will
lodge; thy people will be my people,
and thy God my God where thou diest
will I die, and there will [ be buried
the Lord do SO to me, and more also, if
aught but death part me and thee. -
We may add, :" concludes the Co272972er-
c5o1, g that fortune soon again smiled
upon the young physician, and that he
subsequently returned to the South to
we'd the sweet girl he loved, and who
loved hm with such undying affection.
Reader, this is ali true. Young ladies
who read the Bible as closely as the
heroine Of this incident seems to have
done are pretty sure to make good
sWeethearts and better wives.

The Medicine Of Sunshine.

The world wants more sunshine in Its
disposition, in it's business, in it's chart
ties, in it's theologies. For 10000 OF
the aches and pains and irritations OF
men and women we recommend sun
shine. It soothes better than morphine.
1t stimulates better than champagne.
1t is the best plaster for wound. The
good Samaritan poured out INTO the
fallen travellers cash more Of this than
wine and oil. Florence Nightingale used
it on Crimean battlefelds. Take it into
the alleys, on board of all the ships, and
by all sick beds. Not vial full, but a
soul full. 1t is good for spleen, for liver
complaint, for neuralgia, fer rheuma-
tlsm, for falling fortunes, for melan-
choly. We suspect that heaven itself is
only more sunshine.

Al .T0ker2S Misfortune.

A reputable merchant of Paris found
himself lately walking in the street with
out his pocket-handkerchief when its
services were particularly necessary, and,
as ne was cursing his ill-luck, saw just
ahead Of him the familiar figure OF a
friend who displayed the corner Of a
most tempting looking handkerchief
tapping over his coat tail pocket. The
merchant made gentle dive for it, but,
as he drew it out, heavy hand was laid
on his shoulder, and, turning round, he
confronted q policeman. No sooner had
he turned his head back than the horrid
fact revealed itself that the owner Of the
handkerchief was an utter stranger. So
the unhappy wretch was led off to the
police station, but what was his relief TO
find that the chief officer on duty was an
old friend, who, after 8 hearty laugh,

No Cause Of C0mnlaint.

He was o singularly grave man, even
for a sexton. For nearly a half century
he had been q public functionary-had
performed the conspicuous duties of a
sexton yet no one had ever seen him
smile. Occasionally he joked, but he
did it in such a funereal manner that no
one could accuse him of levity.
One day he was standing On the
church steps, wiping his melancholy
features with a red bandanna. A hearse
stood near, and three or four carriages
were drawn up behind it. The notes
of the organ foated out Of the windows
with solemn effect. A stranger came
along and said

The old man again wiped his brow
and gave the name of the deceased.

sexton made answer

Saved by a ParaSOI.

A little colored girl, 8 years Of age,
daughter Of Samuel Phelps, was passing
over near the railroad bridge which
spans Fishing creek near the depot, with
a large parasol stretched over her head,
when the blast struck her, and in mo-
ment she was swept off the bridge and
was falling to the earth sixty feet below.
"A lady who saw the affair from short
distance off, says that she went down
hanging to the umbrella which was
stretched overhead Like a parachute.
The handle broke just before she reached
the ground. Several persons went to
her assistance Immediately, and were
doubtless surprised to find her alive.
She was not only alive, but compare
lively little injured, as the doctor who
attended her told the writer that her
worst injury was d severe sprain of one

Ice Water.
The Cincinnati Commercial has re-
Gently published a series of articles
pointing out the evil effects of ice water,
and condemning it's use in the strongest
terms. In one of it's articles it says

with the sweat oozing from every pore
IN his skin, should suddenly strip off his
clothing and shut himself up in a re-
| frigerator would be set down in public
estimation as a natural fool, who deied
Providence itself to save him from death.
Such q thing actually happened in this
city a few years ago, and the man was
taken out Of his ice-box dead as a her
ring and stiff as a pikesta4ff.
Ice water arrests digestion, if it does
not absolutely drive out all animal heat
and it is not resumed till the water is
raised to the temperature required to
carry it on.
Habitual ice-water drinkersare usually
very aaDDy ABOUT the region OF the
stomach. They complain that their
food lies heavy on that patient organ.
They taste their dinner for hours after it
is bolted. They cultivate the use of
stimulants to aid digestion. If they are
intelligent they read mp or food and
what the Psychologists have to say about
it-how long it takes cabbage and pork
and beef and potatoes and other meats
and esoulents TO go through the process
of assimilation. They roar at new bread
and hot cakes and fried meat, imagining
these to have been the cause of their
maladies.
But the ice water goes down all the
same, and finally friends are called in to
take farewell look at one whom a nys-
ferrous Providence has called to cline
where, SO far as is known, ice water is not
used. The number Of immortal beings
who go hence to return no more on &C
count of an injudicious use OF ice water
can hardly be estimated.
The article proceeds to show that in
numberless cases fine teeth are totally
destroyed by its use. It chills the teeth
and cracks the enamel, then follows
rapid decay and frequent visits to the
office Of the dentist.

one Of the smaller bones. Her preser-
walton from death is probably owing to
the fact that the parasol acted as par
