Winter Prospects Of the Russian Army.
Corr London Times

Corr London Times
The question of maintaining the Russian
army in Bulgaria during the winter is be-
coming an important one. believe that
the supplies of food for man and beast now
stocked in Roumania and Bulgaria would
maintain 800, 900 men through the winter,
and $50, 900 men would be sufficient to hold
the Russian positions during the season
when the roads are practically impossible
for military purposes, and the rest of the
troops could be retired across the Danube
until spring. The question of getting
these supplies to the army is the chief one
for consideration. The Danube is rarely
frozen so as to prevent the passage of
steamers, hence the transportation across
the river could be managed, and then, If
the large cavalry force were dismounted
for the winter, or portion OF it, the horses
of the cavalry, artillery, and transport
trains could be organized iuto immense
trains of pack horses, which would be
sufficient to supply the troops with the
necessaries of life. The scarcity of fuel is
the greatest difficulty to surmount. Under
ground barracl1 huts might be sufficient to
keep the soldiers warm, in connection with
their heavy fur or sheepskin coats, but for
cooking purposes, fuel is, of course, a
necessity. If the Russians can overcome
the fuel difficulty, they can winter in Bull
garia.

Lemons for Consumption.

A correspondent of an English medical
journal furnishes the following recipe as a
new cure for consumption: Put dozen
whole lemons in cold water and boil until
soft (not too soft), roll and squeeze until
the jnice is all extracted, sweetcn the juice
enough to be palatable, then drink. Use
as many as dozen day. Should they
cause pain or looseness of the bowels, les
sen the quantity and use dozen again.
By the time yon have used five or six d zen
you will begin to gain strength and have an
appetite. OF course as you get better you
need not use so many Follow these di-
rections, and we know that you viii never
regret it if there is any help for you. Only
keep it up faithfully. We know of two
cases where both Of the patients were given
up by the physicians, and were in the iast
stage Of consumption, yet both we've cured
by using lemons according to the directions
we have stated. One lady in particular
was bedridden and very low bad tried
everything that money could procure, but
all in vain, when TO please friead she was
finally persuaded to use the lemons. She
began to use them in February, and in
April she weighed 140 pounds. She IS .

long as any of US.

Vampire Women.

"Vampire women" is the suggestive ii
tie of an article in recent number Of the
n. Y. Tribune, which is devoted to the
lean, bloodless, miserable girl or wife, fiabby
and unable in flesh and mind, whose dis
ease takes, in the family, the vague name
of debility, or nervous exhaustion, or spinal
disorder The majority of girls, the wri-
ter proceeds to say, are born tired. 1t is
not affectatiOn which makes them thin of
blood and morbid in brain at the age when
the current of life should run fullest and
reddest. They are called vampires - not
merely because their own existence is un-
healthy, but because they sap the energies
Of these about them. A regimen Of iron,
exercise, change of air, etc, which may
quicken the pulse iu the patients veins for
the time, neither reddens her blood nor
rounds her cheeks permanently. The sys-
TEN of cure for patients of this description
adopted at the hospital for nervous diseases
in Philadelphia is the only one that has thus
far been found effective. Absolute rest in
bed for six weeks or two months is enjoyed.
A milk diet is ordered, and the lack of ex
ercise is supplied by treatment known as
wassage, or kneadlng every muscle and
square inch of flesh in the body and by
electricity. Reading, sewing, or any other
occupation is absolutely prohibited. 1t is
said that nervous and debilitated women,
who have been subjected to this treatment
have come out of the hospital at the end Of
the time fixed, perfectly restored in mind
and body, and without a trace of dyspep-
sia, Mysteries, Or anamia.

lr. washburae On the French Crisis.
From the New York World.

Mr.. Washburne said it was true that he
had helped to dissuade General Grant from
visiting Paris, and he had done so because
there the feeling against the government is
extremely bitter, and it was feared that any
such demonstration as General Grants visit
would have given rise to might be made the
excuse for such an outbreak as is feared to
be inevitable sooner or later In his opin-
ion, the danger of the present crisis has
not been commonly exaggerated; the crisis
really exists, and it viii not end without a
very serious settlement. The ex-Minister
described the general condition of France
as prosperous in the extreme. The crops
this year are unusually abundant. This is
especially true of the vine crops. which
give promise of supply of wine equal to
that of 1865. The working classes, too.
are generally well off, commerce fourishes
and the only one cause Of universal dread
and anxiety is the black political shadow
which darkens the otherwise clondless ho-
rison Of the most beautiful Of European
lands. Y

DUG HIS GRAVE AND DIED.
One of the Most Remarkable Gases of
Suicide on Record.

The Carmi (Mo.) Times has the following
remarkable account of suicide near that
place Again it becomes cur duty to
chronicle death by suicide, and in this
case the determination to commit tho deed
seems to have been stronger than in any
case ever heard Of before. For long time
Mr.. Elijah Brown, aged about sixty-fiye
years, living at Crooked Creek, has not
been in his right mind, and has not only
threatened suicide, but has made three
attempts to take his life-the last one Of
which occurred last Sunday night and
terminated in his death. About year ago
he attempted to shoot himself. but was
prevented by bystander. Seven months
ago, when his son, James R. Brown,
suicided, tue old man said he intended to
do the same thing at the first opportunity.
On Saturday night last Mr.. Browns family
sent word to Mr.. David Harris to come
over, as Mr.. Brown intended killing him
self. Mr.. Harris went over and found
Brown digging grave by the side, of chat
VI AAo lASb WAO, ~hllO q S<sAAAO sou
on the side Of the grave and shotgun
was laid near by. Harris asked him what
he. intended doing and he replied that he
wrs going to kill himself that he was dig
ging his own grave and wanted to be buried
just as he was found in the grave, without
any coffin asked Harris to do the shovel
ing in of the dirt, and tell every one that
he was in his right mind, and all the world
could not prevent his killing himself;
that no one was to blame for the act but
his own family. Harris stayed with
him until the candle burned out, when
both returned to the house. Brown at once
got another candle, put some fresh caps on
his gun, and started back to his diggings.
Harris then went home, and Mrs. Brown
went out and watched the digging. The
grave was finished about II o'clock that
night. It is not known whether he attempt
ed to kill himself that night or not, al
though that was his first intention, as he
returned to the house shortly after the grave
was finished. Here he fixed string to his
rifle so as to discharge it himself, but for
reason he gave that idea up. Sunday he
came to Carmi and purchased dracnm
bottle of morphine, went home and carried
some boards out to his grave to cover his
body with, and then finished up all his
preparations for death. About 10 o'clock
that night he handed his little grandson a.
twenty-five cent piece, and Immediately
swallowed two-thirds of the bottle of NOR
phine. He lived until 5:25 y sserday even
ing, sleeping all the time. Brown was in
comfortable circumstances, and appeared
sound on every other subject. For the last
year or SO he has quite frequently said that
he intended to kill himself.

English Roads.
Harbor.

The English, at all events, says letter.
writer, know how to make roads. Their
wood pavements are magnificent. London
has set the fashion of wood, and Liverpool
is beginning to follow il; but there are no
pavements in the States to touch these
wooden roads of England. They are laid
on foundations which in some cases have
been solidifying since the days of the Ro-
mans. On these foundations they lay ma
cadam and cement several feet deep, and
then come blocks of pine, laid with mosaic
like accuracy. There is a piece of wood
pavement of this kind in Oxford street,
London, which has not been repaired for
over two years, and it looks as substantial
and perfect as when first laid down. The
average price of this kind of pavement is
about 81 per square yard. and the compa-
panies keep it in order for two years with
out charge, and then guarantee 1t for Is
years at III annual charge of PIC ner sqnare
yard for maintenance, which enables the
PAYERS to relay the road, if necessary, after
eight or ten years.
