It looks as though the railroad strikers
were taking advantage of Tilden's absence
in Europe to kick up all this muss. There

The Turko-Russian war has been entire
lv'ieuored in this country for the past ten
davs. and to Americans at least has been
eclipsed by the stirring scenes nearer home.
But the domestic sensation is rapidly fad
ing away, and soon the readers of the dai-
Iy papers will be making old time faces
trying to pronounce the same old jaw
breaking names.
Turkey is bidding 800 a month-golo-
for American surgeons, and expenses
borne to Constantinople. With the love oil
hacking the human frame shown by some
Of our practitioners, this affords a fine

A poor fellow up in the snow regions Of

Some of the riotous strikers are coming

The Rev. DR.. A. L, Stone, formerly of
Boston, now pastor of the first cougrega-

reduce the number to $50.

Henry Ward Beecher says that man
who cannot live on bread and water and
support his family on a dollar day ought

see how the portly form and mighty intel
lect of the pastor of Plymouth Church

another illustration of the line he draws
between preaching and practicing.

night, one Of the speakers said: '.The in
nocent blood of the Molly Maguires shed on
the scffold cried to heaven for vengence.
They had been killed to satisfy the blood
