Dear Sir-I have had dyspepsia In Its worst

relief. Yours truly

A Moving Death Scene.

One of the most dramatic situations
in " Romeo and Juliet" is the combat
between the love-stricken Romeo and
Iy6GH. This ends, it will be remem-
bered, by a slashing rapier fight be-
tween the two, wherein the enraged
scion Of the Montagues spits his enemy
through the diaphragm. Last night
the part of Montague was assigned to
one of the best members of Mr.. Ellsler's
company. He received his death
wound and, arching his spine and throw
ing out his manly bosom, he fell upon
the stage dead to all intents and purpos-
es. The curtain was rung down and
the huge beam at the bottom descended
with a rush until within few inches of
the slain Ty6Glt's head, when it was
found that the corpse lay directly be-
meath. The discovery was made just in
time, else had the scene-shifter allowed
the curtain to come down on the actor's
head he would have been afflicted with
a headache, if not with a cracked cra-
mum. The situation was an awkward
one, and the artist at the curtain-wind-
less ordered 7y6GI's corpse to ''get out
of that'' and ssroll over" The corpse
made frantic effort to roll over, but
failed, and then, with look of intense
disgust on his features, arose, went a
few steps to the rear, and smoothed his
features in death, as before. The very
fact that the actor had gone through the
motion of dying in such truthful style
made the co'atretemps the more striking,
and while many sympathized with his
discontinue, the greater part of the
audience burst out in uncomfortable
laughter, such as no studied scene in
the play could possibly have evoked

An order has been issued calling out
10000 civic guards in Constantinople and
the provinces, to maintain order during the
possible absence of the regular forces
christians are summoned to participate in
this levy. 1t was reported on the 26th that
the Turks had evacuated Orchanie.
Russian official dispatches of the 29th
state that the Turks made an attack on the
Twelfth Russian corps at Tersterik and
Metcha, in the vicinity of Rustchuk, and
were repulsed after six hours engagement
Losses on both sides were heavy. Snow three
feet deep on the Balkan Mountains, and all
military operations suspended in that quar-
Ter 1t is reported that the surrender of
kars was due to the treachery of Turkish
Pasha, who was bribed by the Russians to
abandon the commanding fortifcation after
merely nominal resistance.
A Russian official dispatch of the I'd
says: After the capture of Pravatz the
Turks abandoned Navatchas, Skoivena and
Orchanie, retreating to the Balkan defile
near Uretchask. The country between the
rivers 1sker and Oquest is quite free from
Turks. We have occupied Belobro and
Iitchevo on the Oquest.

A Lively Crusader.

About o'clock Saturday evening a
good-looking little woman, named Mrs.
Newton, went into the saloon of Fred
Kistner, of West Washington Street,
and marched up to the table at which
her husband was sitting playing cards
with party of cronies, took the cards
from his hands, and after tearing them
up, demanded that he Immediately go
home with her. The husband reluc-
family consented, and left the saloon
with her. At later hour he reappeared
in the saloon, having evidently given his
decidedly better-half the slip, and soon
became engaged in a game of billiards.
Shortly afterwards Mrs. Newton ap-
peared on the scene, and proceeded to
make things very interesting for that
husband of mine" She smashed the
mirror over the bar with a brickbat,
and, snatching billiard-cue out of her
husbands hands, made sad havoc
among the bottles and glasses. The
saloon-keeper rushed to the door and
blew short calls on police-whistle.
When the police arrived, Newton offer
ed to pay for the damage done by his
wife; but she told him that he would
do nothing of the kind, as he had spent
too much of their substance already in
that saloon. The saloon-keeper de-
manded the arrest of the woman, but,
on being reminded that she had re-
quested him not to sell liquor to her
husband, and that therefore she had
good cause of action against him, he
decided not to prosecute, and she bore
off her wayward spouse in triumph
