Three Tartar armies we're concen-

Siberia, and the garrison was further
depressed by the gloomy tidings

grand duke an autograph letter from

the false courier, Ivan Ogareff, was to
consummate his treachery by opening
a gate while the garrison were distract
ed by hostile demonstration in an
other quarter, and by the firing of
naptha On the surface of the river
Augara, which flows through Irkutsk.
An hour before the traitor was
about to give his preconcerted signal
to the beiegers, a raft which had been
worked by Siberian fugitives, amid
the. sevgest hardships, across lake
Baikal, ald down the Augura, had
finally ben stopped by the ice within
half vest of Irkutsk. Fired at by

sively enduring blow from naughty
Russian officer rather than endanger
the success of his mission. Little did
he fancy that his insulter was the
gypsy who had before attracted his at
tention. and that gypsy was Ivan
Ogaref!
In crossing the Irtych the raft was
attacked by Tartar boats and Nadia
captured; but StrogoH, though wound
ed with lance, escaped by swimming
under water. Without losing an hour
in attempting TO trace Nadia, though he
was wouRded, he was deeply Interested
in her, the devoted courier dragged
himself on TO Omsk, which be found her
in the hands of Ivan OgareH; Here
he 3 recognized in public BY his
me der, Maria, who lived there, and
was, unfortunately, known to have Il
son in the corps of the cars courier;
but by disclaiming all he managed to
disarm immediate suspicious and to
make his escape on swift horse which
he had purchased. After battling the
Tartar horscmen dispatched in pursuit
by Ivan Ogaref, who had arrested and
imprisoned Maria Strogoh, he was cap
tured by the main body OF the inva.
ders under Feofar Khan, who had just
defeated Russian division and taxed
Kolyvan.
A few days later Ogaref joined the
emir, with his troops and captives.
Among the latter, and thrown together
by the merest chance, were Maria and
Nadia, who were jealously watched by
female gypsy devoted to Ogaref. This
untiring spy was present when Maria
noticed her son among crowd of cap
tives, and Though the old woman in
stantly controlled her emotion, the
circumstance was reported to the arch
rebel. The latter, TO discover which
of the captives was the courier Strog~
off. adopted the inhuman expedient of
ordering his mother to be knouted in
public. As the cruel instrument was
about to fall on the bare shoulders OF
the heroic woman, Michael sprang
from the crowd, and Selling tie
knout from the executioner's hand,
struck Ogareff across the face thus
repaying the blow he had once ell
dured from the renegade.
The punishment Of Michael was de-
cided, according to a Tartar custom,
by priest opening the koran at ran
dom. The chief of the Ulemas thrust
his finger on the text: "And he will
no more see the things Of this earth.
Blindness was, therefore, the penalty
imposed bv the emir; and at the
close OF a barbaric pageant the SEN
tencc was inflicted by drawing a red
hot saber across bis eyes. At the con-
clusion of this savage act, Ogaref,
with supreme irony, held the letter of
the car before Michael's eyes, saying:
"Read now. and 60 to frkutsk, and
repeat what you have read. The true
courier of the car is Ivan Ogaref."
The crowd had dispersed, aud the
noises of Wild dcbauch were heard
in the distance. Michael dragged
himself over to his msensible mother
and kissed her white locks. As he
did so, hand graspcd his and he
heard q voice:
Brother" it said.
NADIA" murmured Michael, " Ma
dia !"
"Come, brother" replaid Nadia, "use
my eyes while your eyes sleep. | will
lead you to Irkutsk."

The Board then went into q Commit
tee OF the Whole, with Mr.. Ferry In the
| chair, to continue the consideration OF
the proposed reduction of salaries.
About halt an hour was spent in de-
termIning where they left off at the last
meeting. 1t was fnallv moved to take
up Mr.. Miller's amendment seriatim.
Mr.. McGrail amended by moving that
Mr.. ONeiPs amendment to Rule 1877 be
taken up. The amendment was carried.
Mr.. O'Nell moved that Rule 1877 be
stricken from the list. Said Rule is as
follows:
"Rule 1877. First German Assistants
shall be appointed at 1928 per annum,
which sum shall be increased $92 80 an
nually until the annual salary shall
amount to 81 ,202 50."
MIR. Erdelmeier opposed the measure
i'll short aud pointed speech.
A motion OF Mr.. Morgan to refer the
amendment to the Committee on Ger
man Instruction, in connection with the
Committee on Course Of Study and Text
books, was lost, and the original proDO-
sition to repeal Rule 1G7 was taken up.
Mr.. Goss moved the following amend
ment to Rule 1o7, which, after consider
hle discussion, was put to the Commit
tee and carried, by 80 ayes to nays:
"Flrst German Assistants may be ap-
pointed at $1,000 per annum, which sum
shall be increased 500 per annum, until
the annual salary shall amount to 81, 800,
and that the Superintendent of Schools
and the CommILIee on German Instruc-
ton shall designate the number and dis
tribute these assistants among The va
rious Districts, SO that their time dur
ing school hours may be fully occu-
pied"
The Committee then arose and re-
ported progress, recommending the
adoption Of the amendment to Rule 167,
aud asking leave to sit again at $3.50

A Sad Case,

Last evening abouO O'Clock our atten-
tion was attracted by large crowd on
the corner of Seventh and College
streets. Upon investigating we found a
colored man about twenty-three years
OLD prostrated. DR.. d. W. Mccarthy, Of
No. 100 Seventh street, was doing all
that experience could do TO bring HIM
out OF an epileptic fit The Doctor had but
just relieved him When the patient
showed some very alarming symptoms,
which The Doctor pronounced an atfec-
ton of the heart. WitA this and theft he
suffered not less than forty five minutes.
The physician said he had never met
- with such Il case in twenty -four years
practice. Az length the sufferer re.
covered sufficiently to open his eyes and
by some. signs with his fingers it was
discovered he was deaf mute. Tc
some questions written by DR.. MCCARTHY
he made the following reply:
':My name is Morry Williams; bin tc
St. Louis tenHyears to the asylum, ant
jest came home; do not know where
my mother is"
A vehicle was procured and he wa
taken TO the Hospital.

Mayor Moore, now that the late trou-
bles here have subsidized, has issued the
following proclamatiou:
"MAYoR's OFFICE, CITY OF CINCINNATI,
"July 30, 1871.
"The speedy and fortunate termna-
ton of the difficulties, which last week

Cincinnati, quieted with the exercise OF
but little more than the usual appliances
of the law, with the freedom OF speech
and discussion unabridged, is tit mat
ter for congratulation. 1T rebounds to
the credit and glory Of our city, and
speaks we'll for the discretion and good
sense of all classes OF our citizens.
"There is neithor bloodsheu nor the
wanton destruct on Of property to re-
gret. 1t leaves Cincinnati with an un-
tarnished reputation as a law-a bidiDg
city, where every one may enjoy life
and property unmolested to greater
degree than III most other places-a fact
which can not but be an important ele-
menT IN our future growth and prospect
ty, and which is IA matter Of rejoicing to
every citizen, regardless Of rank or con-
dition. Such a result has planted a
jewel in the crown of the Queen City Of
he West, the luster of when Will be re-
tlected over the entire country.
1t leaves the origin vi the trouble Il
fairer field for investigation and fairer
chance for redress if wrong or injustice

sense of the community will not tolerate
any laWlessness or disturbance, and the
only way to command the general re-
spect, and to rlgAt any wrong, IS by
legitimate and lawful Unconstitutional
the press, the forum and the ballot. Any
other way is only grhsping at the shad-
