aag- The grain crop of South Russia for
1877 has been the largest harvested during
twenty-five years. This grain was bought
at very low price in the deprecated
currency of the country, and is stored
awaiting the cessation of hostilities for
shipment. 1t will take its place in the
markets Of the world at SO small a cost to
the purchasers that it will no doubt have a
depressing influence upon the price of grain
from other countries.

WAR NOTES.

A TELEGRAM from Ibrail announces that
5000 Russians crossed the Danube from Ga
latz, on the 23d inst, and took the heights
behind Seizila, near Matchin. The Turks
have abandoned Matchin 4 sufficient nuns
Der of Russians have crossed to establish
themselves solidly. They are not entrenched
INTELLIGENCE received on the sd inst,
announces that Mukhtar Pasha had been en-
gagged since the Dist with the Russian army
at Fathodja, between khovasan and Deli
baba. Result unknown.
ADvICES report terrible outrages by
the Russians upon the Circasian population
of Siberia. Towns are sacked women ravish-
ed, and men banished. A reign of terror
prevails. The Russians burned the military
hospitals in Arabian, and 500 inmates per
ished
The Montenegrins state that they defeat
airy battle near SpuZ
The Russian government has purchased
the monster Krupp gun made for the Phila-
delphia exhibition. The destination is I'M
known, but there is a talk of placing it upon
avessel at Nicholavefat and using it against
the Turkish iron clads in the Black Sea.
y VIENNA letter has the following: Great
uneasiness is felt here relative to the attitude.
of Servia. Everybody is prepared for the
occupation if necessary. The participation
of Servia in the war; which short time ago
appeared possible to the Vienna cabinet is
now thought probable.
TO avoid ground for the Intervention of
Austria, Servia will maintain an armed neu-
trality. This has not prevented the con-
clusion of a treaty between Russia and
Servia, enabling Russia to transport troops
through Seryia. Already 1000 men are
marching toward Gladova and Turn SEVERN.
AT Rustchuk cannonading is kept up
with great spirit. The Turkish guns are far
superior to the Russians in calibre and
range.
INTELLIGENCE received at Constantinople
represents that the position of the Turkish
army in Asia has improved, and that the
Turks are preparing to assume the offensive.

Tail-Cutting in China.

From the China papers it appears that
the tail-cutting epidemic" as it is
called, has broken out at Pekin. "The
Mandarians," says a letter in the Celes-
tial Empire, have put up notice of
fering fifty taels reward for the appre-
hension of tail-cutter; but this will
hardly have much influence, for the
people are persuaded that the agency is
supernatural.
Death is said to follow the loss of the
tail within three days; several cases OF
death are reported, and there is so much
concurrent testimony that it is difficult
not to believe. If there have been deaths
it must be the effect of fright, the
prophecy, as in so many cases, bringing
about its own fulfillment. 1t is common
now in the streets to sec men with their
tails wound round their heads or hang
ing over the shoulder in front. Charms
are of course being distributed freely.
One man showed me a charm, when |
told him / had a better one, which was to
wear the hair after the Western fashion
but he replied, Then they would cut of
our ears"
The Pe,rin correspondent of the
Shanghai Daily Neps says that two of
the eunchs of the Palace there have been
mysteriously deprived of their tails, and
such an occurrence taking place within
the sacred precincts of the Forbidden
City naturally increased the prevailing
alarm. The Druggists shops were thronged
by eager purchasers of cinnabar, which
is an unfailing item in the prescriptions
for charms to be worn about the person,
and many Chinese were afraid to venture
out of doors.

CRIMES AND CASUALTIES.

THE small pleasure steamer Kate Way ex-
ploded her boiler on Lake Minnetouka,

sons were killed: James Mitchell, captain /;

timated at from ten to fifteen million, and

$6,000,00O.
AT New York, on the Goth inst, Ebert
Petit was sentenced to five years. in the

fused to marry him, and on the same even
ing William Mcdonnell, it is thought, fatally

baggageman, Jake Cady, both arms and a
leg broken, and Geo. Morton, express mes
senger, was badly crushed. Cady will prob
ably die. Had the sleeping car plunged on

Heart and Soul Love.
Raleigh Observer


Benbury Floyd, of Chowan County,
aged about sixty years, was convicted of
a trivial larceny in 1873 and sentenced
to four years imprisonment. He had
been good soldier and lost leg in the
Confederate service, and was said by his
neighbors to be kind-hearted and oblig-
ing man. He had no wife, chick or child
IN the world except little blind daugh-
ter, about fifteen years old, who was in
the blind asylum. Last week Superin-
tendent Gudger came to Governor
Vance and told him the condition of his
little. girl, and that, having been in the
asylum the full term which the law per-
mitted, she would have to be discharged,
and he did not know what to do with
her, as she had no home or friend to 90
to, except this poor felon-father. The
Governor promised at once to pardon
him. This week the pardon was issued,
and Mr.. Gudger, placing it in the hands
of the little girl, went with her to the
Penitentiary. to liberate her father. The
scene between father and daughter was
melting in the extreme. She could not
see the felon's stripes and the haggard
prlson-look, and he, poor man, could look
with pride and fondness upon the fair
but sightless face of his child; something
pure and innocent still loved him.
Throwing themselves into each others
arms they wept uncontrollably. After
little, hand in hand, they went away.

Enoch Arden in Nevada.

from the IurcararO REVIEW
The usual stiffness and quiet of Elko,
New, was somewhat ruffied by ro-
nance, which, though wholly unforeseen,
bids fair to lead to lawsuit. 1t seems
that in the year 1856 Mrs. -, now
resident of Elko, was the daughter of
wealthy citizen of Ohio, and in the
spring of 1862, became the wife OF
well-to-do young man. Shortly after
the marriage the young husband started
for California with a party who were
about to cross the Plains. For months
and months did the anxious young wife
wait in vain for tidings from her absent
husband. At last, unable to bear the
suspense, she started in search of him.
Arriving in California she learned that
the train with which her husband de-
parted had been attacked on the Plains
by Indians, and, as reported, every soul
murdered. This, of course, was terri
BILE revelation to the fond wife, and she
who had wandered to and fro in search
of all the world held dear for her, took
up her residence California, where, few
years later she was courted and won by {
Mr.. -, who was totally unacquainte
with her former marriage, nor did she
enlighten him ON the subject. They
then took up their residence in Nevada
where they have lived ever since-he III
ignorance of his wife's former marriage,
and she thinking her husbands bones
still bleaching in the Plains, where
years ago, they had been left by the mer-
ciless redskins. But now comes the
grand denOuenaent. A week or so since
the husband, whom she supposed dead,
turns up in Elko, after an absence Oh
twenty years, to claim his BRIDE VI

Protection from Flies.

A contemporary records the discovery
of a French pharmaceutal chemist who
has devised way to protect horses
from attacks of flies, according to a
London medical paper. His invention
consists in rubbing the horses, especially
the parts most subject to attack, with a
little concentrated oil of laurel. There
is not the slightest danger in its use, and
the cost is said to be very small. An
other repellent suggested by the same
person is a solution of 80 grammes q ih.
and ozs. avoirdupois) of assafontida i'm
two glasses of water, and one of vine
gar If horses be well washed with this,
not fly will settle upon them. as the
assafntida drives the flies away. This
drug has no deleterious qualities as an
external application, and may be used
unhesitatingly.
