THE BULGARIAN CAMPAIGN.
THE BATTLE FIELD OF PALlsAI-TRACEs OF A DEsPE'
RATE CONFLICT.

THE BATTLE FIELD OF PlLlSAI-IRACEs OF DEsfE-
RATE CONFLICT
LONDON, Tuesday, Sept 4. 1877.
Telegraphng from Poredim near Plevnal Septem-
Der 1, the correspondent of The Daily Aecs says
rode over the battlefield when the Pelisat affair
was over. The Turks left very few wounded, and
only about 300 dead on the field. Their losses could
be better Judged by the number of knapsacks with
which tine ground was strewn. In front of
the Russian trenches, half way between
Pelisat and ZgaIince, the Turkish dead were
lying so close that they might have
shaken hands with the Russians lying inside.
IL was desperate attack and desperate resistance
The attack seems to have been well directed 1t
was made so suddenly and with such violence that
the Russian redoubt was taken almost by surprise
the first time 1t was in fact, taken almost before
Gen. Zotof knew the attack had begun. From
a russian point Of view look upon the whole sys-
TEN Of hghting in fortiicatons as 4 mistaken one.
1t would have been much better for Gen. IotoH to
have retreated aud drawn the Turks. out
into the open country where their lnapt-
ness at executing manmuyres on the field
Of battle, would have put them at great disadyan-
tace with the well drilled Russian troops. The
Russians have always been wanting the Turks to
come out and fight IN the open, yet they en-
trench themselves in such manner that the turks
have TO temptation 10 come oui, anu hhu II hiipo7-
slble to do 50 when they try. If Che Russians wish
TO fight them in the open, they should offer them
temptations to come out III the open, and not meet
them everywhere with fortiiicatioa"

A LITTER from Norwich, Conn, to

story, rs told by Geo. w, Fuller, sub
marne diver, who is now in the tormer
city: While performing some work Tor
Uncle Sam IN one OF the Southern ports,
where it was customary for tnuse who
supplied the market with early garden
truck to load their boats and row them
around to the wharf, it happened lhat one
day a bu ly negro loaded his boat with
watermelons, and had just reached the
dock, where the usual number of Ioungers
stood watching the operations OF the diver.
The negro, all unconscious of his stua-
ton, was zealously endeavoring to dispose
of his cargo, when Fuller suddenly
emerged, helmet first, from the water,
thrusting his google eyes and ugly head
before tao astOniohed occupant of the
boat, and seizing one Of the largest OF the
melons, sunk Immediately. The darkey,
with Il yell and bound, reached the dock
and neither stopped nor turned until
he reached home with the tidngs that
"de debbil had liscated dc melons and

THE SQUIRREL AND THE BURGLAR
A German story thus illustrates the fact
that no creature is too small to be of use,
sooner or later
An apothecary had tame squirrel,
which he was in the frequent habit of re-
calling with nuts, and which he used to
keep in his own private room adjoining
his shop. The little fellow was allowed
plenty of liberty, for the door of his cage
was frequently left open, and he used to
climb up doors and windows and spring
thence upon his masters hand.
On one occasion he jumped upon the
broad brimmed hat of Quaker who
came into the shop. He made friends
with all his masters acqua ntances, but
ifanybody teased him he could show that
he knew how to bite.
As the Winter came on, he was in the
habit of building himself nest of any
tow he might find about, and used to
choose for his residence the pocket of his
masters coat.
When, in the evening, the cont was
taken Off and hung upon 4 nail, the little
squirrel would climb up the door on which
the nail stood, run down the coat and take
up his quarters in the pocket, carrying
always in his mouth n good supply OF the
tow, which he had prepared and rolled
together beforehand, and with which he
contrived to make in the pocket the cos =
est nights lodging in the world.
\ housebreaker, watching his opportu-
nifty, selected an especially dark night for
getting in through the window of the
apothecaries little back room behind the
shop, with, as you may imagine, no good
end in view.
He knew that the apothecary kept no
dog he could easily guess where his coat
was likely to be hanging up. He soon
found the pocket. aud was just about to
tighten it of purse, pocket book and keys,
when misfortune totally unexpected,
bctel him.
Ia rummaging for keys and purse he
had struck the sleeping squirrel, of whose
strange habits with regard to his bedroom
he iad not been aware.
Not liking to be thus suddenly dis
turbed, the little animal gave the taief so
sharp a bite, on his thumb that he could
Mt torbear yelling with pain, and the
master ot the house, alarmed at tho unu
sual sound, came into the room armed
with the poker, just US the thief was es
Gaping through the window.

THAT STUNNING PIN.---There is n
young man in this city who is remarka-
bly, fond Of ornamentation and display,
and rarely walks abroad without hanging
section Of Il dollar jewery store on his
shirt bosom. Some days ago he picked
up a peculiar looking gold pin on the
sidewalk, and Immediately transferred it
to his expansive shirt front. For several
days he was happy man, and was de-
lighted TO find that when in the company
Of the fair sex he was the center Of at
traction first, last and every time. When
ever he dropped witty remark the laugh
ter and ggging that followed was SO
pronounced that he had no doubt OF its
being appreciated in the fullest degree.
Last night he called on his girl, and in
order to make his new accession to his
jewelry more observable, left off all his
other ornaments and planted the pin
squarely in the center Of his bosom.
Cara" he remarked, in accents of
devotion, "I'm in luck. A few days ago
/ picNed up this magnificent gold pin on
G street. always was the luckiest fellow
you ever saw. wonder If I'll be rs
lucky with you ?"
AT this TIE young lady gigged, blushed
and stuffed a handkerchief in her mouth,
and then broke forth in the most uncon-
trollable laughter until her extraordinary
mirth brought the old lady into the parlor.
The lover called her attention to the pin
and expressed his astonshment that there
was anything in it to laugh at.
The old lady adjusted hor speclacles
and remarked " Young man, the time
for wearing those things has passed with
you long ago, and that's the identical
diaper pin that Mrs. Smiths baby lost
over week ago. You should return the
property at once, because Mrs. Jones
made her n present of il for the privilege
OF naming the baby, and 1t was made on
purpose by Mr. Fredericks."
the young man hastened TO the open
air, and this morning returned tho pin by
mail. Honesty aud ignorance go hand

BUSINESS NOTICE.

ONESIDED DEVELOPMENTS The habit
of using the right hand in preference 20
the left among those people whose monu-
ments date from the remotcst antiquity
appears to be universal fact, and this is
accounted for by the anatomical mechan-
ism Of the human body. 1t is known
that the right lung, liver lobe and limbs
exceed in size those of the left side, in
volving, of course, Il greater amount of
tissue structure and Il larger supply of
nerves and blood vessels for their nutri-
ton. A person walking in dense fog
figures with his feet the segment of cir.
Gle, and il he is right handed, he takes a
direction to the left, because the right leg
naturally takes a longer stride The lett
side Of the brain is larger than the right.
and as it appears chat the power of verbal
articulation in the right handed is con-
fined TO a certain convolution ON the left
side, the conclusion is arrived at that, in
speaking and thinking, the left side of
the brain is used, this being the result of
deXtral education. The opinion has also
been expressed by some medical writer's
that amnesia and a>pha>ia in Il right
handed man, indicate disease OF the left
brain, and that hammer palsy Wi
ter's cramp show the results of excessive
working of the lett brain. CHc{nnati
