LONDON, Aug. ~.
Saturday, Russians numbering 80, 600
infantry, 10 regiments of cavalry and
ITO guns, attacked Mukhtar Pasha
along the whole line extending from
Marsgarjik to Yakinlar. The cannon
aiding began at Z o'clock a. m. and last
ed till 6 p. M. The Russians retreated
in good order to thei: encampment pur-
sued by the Turks. The Turks lost
165 killed and wounded. and the Rus

The Czar at the Front.
LONDON, Aug 10.
| For the future the Russian army and
Imperial headquarters will remain
united, which seems to imply that the
Emperor will encourage the soldiers by
his actual presence on the battlefield.
The Emperor is pleasantly quartered in
| good house outside of the village of
Mashla, and seems in excellent health
and spirits. The air is pure in contrast
to that of Biela, and the health of the
suite is much improved; but General
| Ignatieff is still ailing. Prince Golat-
zen has been obliged to leave for
| Carlsbad.
Russian Reinfercements-T Next
Battle at Plevna to he Decisive.
LONDON, Aug 10.
A stream of Russian reinforcements
is now steadily flowing in through
Roumania. 1t is expected that both
the Guard and Grenadiers corps will be
in Bulgaria by the first week in Sep
TENDER. The staff here calculate that
$50, 900 men are now actually on the
march to reinforce the army. The next
battle about Plevna is meant to be de-
cisive, hence the delay for the sake of
insuring 50 Joess.

LONDON. Aug. 10.

Stopping Turkish Comm u icatiOn.
LONDON, Aug 10.
The Fourth Cavalry Division of the
Russian army has been directed on an
independent expedition for the purpose
of stopping Turkish communication
with Sophia by blockading Orchodia
Pass, the main thoroughfare and easiest
marching route over the Balkans. It
is felt here that this should have been
done earlier, bat if successful now it
will have good results.

farming. The system requires constant
and enlightened attention and supervis-
ion in order to insure to all parties the
full profits and rewards.
Besides the many advantages direct as
we'll as indirect, heretofore enumerated,
we believe it to be a necessity under the
condition of affairs in our State. As a
rule property cannot be sold, there is no
money to purchase, while the land must
be titled in some way. We believe in
general immigration, and this system en-
courages it. We are opposed to the emf
grafton of any portion or class of the peo-
pie of the State, and this system discour-
ages that movement.
In conclusion we regret that we are
unable to give to this subject more con-
sideration than simply an individual ex-
perience. In our opinion it affords an
easy, safe and practical plan Of develop
ing and thereby enhancing the value of
the unimproved lands of our State; it

in its practical workings gives proper
command to labor which will advance
the industries of our people and the good
of our State. If we were endeavoring to
engraft into our agricultural custom
some new idea that was never before
tested, we might advocate the adoption
of this system with less confidence; but
more remote far than even the period of
the discovery of this continent, are the
laws in regard to landlord and tenant,
and practical lessons in relation to this
system can be learned from the earliest
pages of English history, while we would
find in its practical results one of the
great means which has gradually led to
English wealth.

GLASS AND IT'S PHENoMENA.-The
elasticity of glass exceeds that of almost
all other bodies. If two glass balls are
made to strike each other at given force,
the recoil, by virtue of their elasticity,
will be nearly equal to their original inn
petus. Connected with its brittleness are
some very singular facts. Take hollow
sphere, with a hole, and stop the hole
with the finger, so as to prevent the e1-
ternal and internal air from communica-
ting, and the sphere will fly to pieces by
the mere heat of the hand. Vessels
made of glass, that have been suddenly
cooled, possess the curious property of
being able to resist hard blows given to
them from without, but will be instantly
shiyered by a small particle of flint
dropped into their cavities. This prop
erty seems to depend upon the compara-
tive thickness of the bottom; the thicker
the bottom is, the more certain of break
age by this experiment. Some of these
vessels, it is stated, have resisted the
stroke Of mallet given with sufficient
force to drive q nail into wood and
heavy bodies, suchas musket balls, pieces
of iron, bits of wood, jasper, stone, etc.,
have been cast into them from q height
of two or three feet without any effect,
yet a fragment of flint not larger than a
pea dropped from three inches high, has
made them fly.

IMITATION MoNEY.-A Washington
dispatch says: Many complaints have
reached the Treasury department that
merchants and business men in various
parts of the country have been in the
habit of printing business cards bearing
such a close resemblance to the United
States and national bank issues that many
people have been deceived thereby, and
quantities of it passed as good money by
parties who have gathered number of
these cards. Some of the samples re-
ceived at the Secret Service Division here
are of character to deceive even obser-
want persons, while they bear upon their
face the fact that they are not really gen.
uine. These issues are all in violation of
law. Section 5,430 of the revised stat
utes forbids the engraving or printing OF
anything in the impression or the like
ness of any United States obligation or
other security, or any part thereof, except
under the authority of the Secretary of
the Treasury. The penalty is heavy
fine and imprisonment. Many indict-
ments have been found against persons
on this account, and the department. in
tends now to prosecute to the full extent
further offenses of this character as a
matter of protection to the community

How Postal Cards are Made.

The paper upon which postal cards are
printed comes in sheets about twenty-five
inches by twenty-eight inches in size,
and is packed in boxes containing about
1000 sheets, and weighing $50 pounds
each. After the boxes are unpacked the
first thing in order is the printing. This
is done by two Hoe cylinder presses,
each of which prints fifty cards at sim
gle impression. The printed sheets are
then placed in racks and allowed to dry
for two days, in order to prevent any
blotting or DETACHMENT. Now they are
ready for the cutters, of which they are
three, at present. By the first, which is
rotary cutter, the sheets are divided
crosswise in ten strips, containing four
postal cards each. The sheets pass in
through this machine as rapidly as one
can follow another. The strips are then
collected in packages of one hundred
each, the edges are made exactly even,
and the packages are then placed on the
iron tables of the cutters, which sever
them in the opposite direction. Of these
cutters there are two, both known as the
Cranston "undercut." Ten packages of
one hundred sheets each, after leaving
the rotary cutter, are placed in the "un-
der-cut," lever is pulled which sets the
machinery in motion, and up comes q
heavy knife with diagonal motion, and
there are four hundred postal cards COM
plete in a twinkling. A bit of brass is
removed, allowing the uncut packages to
be moved up proper distance under the
knife, and the process is repeated. The
cards are then taken in punches conve-
nient to be handled, aud the edges are
carefully brushed to remove all dust aad
"feather." They then pass into the
hands of eighteen girls, by whom they
are counted out into packages containing
twenty-five cards each. Twenty pack
ages are placed in pasteboard boxes,
which again are packed in wooden boxes,
containing from 1000 to $4,000 cards
apiece.
The presses are now printing about
100000 cards day. The contract re-
auires that 100000 cards shall be made
in a day if the demand is so great.
It is not expected that many visitors
will enter the rooms in which the cards
are made, but precautions are taken to
prevent the loss or abstraction of cards
Every sheet printed is. registered by the
press, and the company is compelled to
give an account of every one. If a few
cards were lost it would cause considera-
BILE trouble, although the loss Nigh, be ,.
trihing. Any cards that are spoiled in
the cutting, or defaced in any way, are
retained and destroyed by the govern
ment inspector.

LONG WHIFFLETREEs ON PLoUGHs.
Most ploughmen have so long whiAle-
trees that it is often impracticable to
make any plough work satisfactorily.
Excellent ploughs are denounced as
worthless, and rejected, simply because
the double whif1etree or the OK yoke was
too long. But the ploughman never sus.

der pain of mortal sin. A Bulgarian fe-
male is allowed only one. washing during
her lifetime. This is according to church
discipline. The correspondent of the
New York Times at Russian headquarters
declares that their filth is only surpassed
by their cowardice. No wonder the
cleanly Turk despises them and their
so-called religion.

- Brigham Young's death was under
discussion at an English dinner-party
when young lady rather startled the
guests by advancing a bold proposition

she said, "are so bad, and fashions so ex-
pensive, that it is absurd for one man to
have four or five wives; whereas, if each
woman had four or five husbands, see
how much cheaper it would be for each
husband and"-the point which seemed
most to commend itself to her-"how
