The Russian SOldiery.

Edward King, writing from the
Danube to the Boston Journal, says !:
These Russians remind one vely much
of American soldiers in the field. They
have the same jolly i,asouciance, the
same goodnatured way of accepting
privation as their common lot, and the
same pleasant and picturesque manner
of regarding the most disagreeable
things. I think they look upon the
Turks without any actual hatred-feel-
ing for them only kind of mild con-
tempt, which has been somewhat in
creased by the manner in which the
Turkish cavalry ran away at Matchin
the other day. There is but little to be
said thus far in favor of the Turkish IT.
regulars, who we're expected to achieve
such prodigies of valor. They have van
ished before the Cosacks like leaves be-
fore the wind. I doubt if a single stray
gler could at present be found anywhere
in the environs of Sistova. Regular
troops make short work of such fellows.
The Turkish prisoners that I have seen
were almost as tattered and forlorn as
the Bashi-Bazouks. There is little
group of Anatalains here, imprisoned in
cottage. They are evidently quite re-
signed to their fate, and sit all day mus
ingly gazing at their captors with a puz-
zled air, as if they rather fancied it all g
dream. The Russians treat them very
kindly, and I believe thus far there is nc
instance in which any disposition has
been shown on the part of the common
est soldier even to threaten them.

A Blind Horse Racing with a Train.

When the four o'clock train on the
Cayuga Lake road whistled at McKin-
ney's yesterday afternoon, says recent
number of the Ithaca IN. Y. Journal,
the noise frightened horse standing in
the yard connected with Workman &
Bates's slaughter house, and the animal
dashed away with the skeleton wagon to
which it was attached. In wheeling
around to get out of the yard the wagon
was overturned, and with it in this posi-
ton the horse, which is blind, made
direct for the railroad track, and with
great speed continued to run toward
town, dragging the wagon along the road
bed. Just as the horse got upon the
track the train appeared in view at the
curve short distance north of the slaugh-
ter house, and for few minutes it look
ed as though everything was up with the
poor beast. But ON it ran. crossing cat
tie guards and culverts with as much
precision as though it were possessed Of

ing the locomotive before overtaking the
horse, although running down grade

An Incident i'm an English Post Office.

A tall, gray-haired gentleman, SO runs
the story, lately went into one of the
branch post-offices in a western region.
He asked some question relative to the
registering of a letter of one of the
girls in attendance, and was answered
in manner which he considered ex-
ceedingly sharp and rude. He repeated
the question, however. not being quite
sure that he was not mistaken in his
supposition, and he repeated it very
mildly. She answered him more rudely
than before. He then made some re-
monstrance, and asked her if she
thought that was proper way to answer
an inquiry in public office. She said
she thought that she had been quite
civil enough for him. He asked her,
with an ominously increasing mildness
of manner, if she would favor him with
her name. She emphatically declined
to do SO. He then said he thought he
would tell her his name, which, how
ever, she declined to hear, saying that
his name was no concern of hers. He
calmly replied that he thought it was,
for his name was John Manners, and he
was the postmaster-general- Curtain.-

A CITY without Boundaries.

Memphis, Tenn, is in trouble about
her boundaries, or, rather, she is in
trouble because it is feared she has no
boundaries. In 1875 the legislature of
the State passed general law authorize
ing communities of thirty-fve thousand
inhabitants and over to organize into a
corporation city and repealed the vari-
GUS acts creating charter for the city
of Memphis. One section of the acts re-
pealed fixed the boundaries of the city,
and there has been no action on the part
of the general council SINCE the repeal
in relation to boundaries. Consequent
ly it is claimed that the city has no
boundaries and that it cannot sustain
any action before the recorder because
the offense must be alleged, and, if re.
qpifed, be proved, 10 have been COM

Every housekeeper knows what nuis-
ance flies are in summer. Two weapons
are powerful against them, cleanliness
and darkness. Therefore the dining
room should be kept dark between meals,
and care should be taken to sweep every
crumb from table and floor. But it will
not do simply to shut up the room, shut
ting up the flies in it. Close every win
dow and door but one, and through that
drive the flies out. This is not so hard
as it may seem upon paper, and practice
makes perfect here as in all else. We
have known housekeeper who was so
expert that she had only to wave her
broom and the flies dutifully swarmed
out as they saw the standard waved in
the air. Fly nets for the windows are
comfortable appendages for living and
sleeping rooms. Bought ready made
they are somewhat expensive, made at
home they cost only trihe. Have the
carpenter-or if some one of the family
knows how too handle tools, let him
make frame of inch wide dath, fitting
the window frame. On this stretch mos
quito netting-dark green is best-and
fasten with tacks to the laths. The same
netting over frame of reeds, of osiers,
or wires from an old hoopskirt makes
serviceable cake and butter covers. Bend
one hoop into round of the size wanted,
then on this fasten two semi-circular
hoops, crossing each other at right angles
in the center above the bottom hoop.
This forms the frame, which, if of wire,
should be wrapped with worsted; on this
the netting is sewed, and button on top
serves as a handle.
Air every sleeping room thoroughly
every morning and if possible, let in the
sun to shine on the beds and bed clothes.
Often at night when the heat is well nigh
unbearable, O wet cloth hung in the win
dow over the blind will cool the room as
if a shower had fallen, and every one
knows how water poured on the pavement
in front Of the door will freshen the hot
dry air. The principle of the reduction
of temperature by evaporation is capa-
BILE of much practical application. In
India and other tropical countries, where
ice is almost unknown, the natives cool
their drinking water by suspending
earthen jars filed with it in brisk cur
rent of air, which process is said to cool
it thoroughly and rapidly. So, also,
when ice is unattainable, butter may be
kept firm and sweet by sitting the bowl
containing it in shallow vessel of water
and covering with napkin, the ends of
which are well immersed in the water in
the bottom dish. A wet handkerchief or
sponge worn in the hat when exposed to
the sun, as in the harvest field, will pre-
vent sunstroke under the most intense
heat known to our climate, and will often
relieve headache arising from heat and
exhaustion combined,

Lucky " Limpey.o

"Limpey was a graduate of the
Randalls Island New York; house of
refuge, who had been transplanted to
Kansas City, Mo. He was lame and
cadaverous; he BACKED boots and slept
in freight cars; he was the leader of a
band of incorrigible vagabonds. A year
ago he made his way to Denver and
thence to the Black Hills, where his SER
vices were engaged by party of miners,
who wanted cook and dish-washer.
In few weeks he was washing some
thing besides dishes, and now he has
SHARES in various lodes, and six thousand
dollars in cash. Recently Limpey "
returned to Kansas City to visit an old
woman who had been his only friend in
his days of poverty and distress, and to
marry her daughter. He had never APP
pealed to the old woman in vain when he
had wanted a hiding-place from the
police OF shelter from the storm.
"Limpey is no longer lean cripple.
His lameness has disappeared, sAd he
weighs twice as much as he did when he
was sleeping in cutters and hay-lofts.
