The Communists.

Worry many people do not understand
the meaning OF the terms Communists,
"Internationals," etc. During the ex
element of the past week these words
have been frequently noticed in the dis
patches, always associated with acts o.
violence, disorder and lawlossness
The st. Louis Republican gives an ex-
PLANTATION of the meaning of these terms,
in the following article:
sit is to be noticed that the lnterna
tionalists, as they call themselves, are
coming to the front in this city and as
Stunning 10 direct the striking movement
The namc has q meaning. 1t is of Eu
ropean origin. The Communists who
took possession Of Paris in 1870, over
threw the Column Vendome, burned
the city hotel, the Tuilleries and many
other Of the finest edlfices in the city,
and murdered the Archbishop, called
themselves lnternationals. In Spain
they are known a. Intransiguentes.
They are the sworn foes of every recog
nized establishment in society-religlon
public worship, marriage, the family and
property rights. They demand the abol-
ition of public worship, the seizure and
transformation of churches, into halls
and hospitals, the abrogation of the re-
lation Of marriage and the substitution
of promiscnous freedom between the
sexes, tho subjugation of tho family to
the absolute control of the State, the re-
peal of all property laws and redtstrl-
button of wealth equally among all men,
bers of society. These doctrines have
never been openly avowed In this coun-
try we believe-certainly not in this
city but they are the proclaimed prin-
ciples of the Internationals of France,
Germany, SPAN and Italy, and the open
assumption of the name Internationals
by persons who assume direction of the
strike in this city is enough to set people
to thinking at least. We are not pre-
pared to believe that there is any con-
siderable body of American workingmen
who advocate the malign and desolating
theories we have limited at, but that
there are foreign born lnternatio mails in
our midst who do Is an undeniable fact.
Are these men to be permitted to take
charge of the strike? If so, the strikers
themselves may well shrink from the
end to which the Internationals would
lead them.

The Battle Of Pleyna.

London, August ga correspondent
sends from Porredil, near Plevna, a
graphic account of Tuesdays battle,
which conveys vivid idea of the extent
of the Russian disaster. The CORES
pendent is with Prince Schkaskajiki's
command now. Ali hopes of success
were dead. The prince had not enough
men left to cover the retrat. The Turks
struck without stint; they had the upper
hand for once, and we're determined to
show they knew how to make the most
of it. They advanced in swarms through
the dusk on their original position, and
captured the Russian cannon before the
batteries could be withdrawn. Turkish
shells began to whistle once more over
the ridge over Radishova, and fell into
the village beyond, now filled with
wounded. Streams of wounded, wend
ing their painful way over the ridge,
were incessant. The badly wounded
mostly lay where they tell. Later, in
the darkness, baleful sort of men,
swarmed over the battle field IN the
shape of Bashi Bazouks, who spared not
till the moon rose.
The staff could hear from below, on
the still night air, cries of pam and en-
treaties for mercy, and the yell OF the
bIood-thirsty fanatics trumphed. 1t
was an hour indeed to wiring the stout
est heart. We stayed there to learn if
it might be that troops were coming out
of the valley OF the shadow of death be-
low. Were there, indeed, any at all to
Gomez The Turks had our range be-
fore dark, and we could watch the fash
of flames over against US, and then listen
to the scream of the she'll as it sored by
Us. The sound of rife bullets were in
cessant, and the retreating were often
struck. Detachments at length began to
come Struggling up; but it will give an
idea of the disOrganization to say that
when a company was told off to recover
some of the wounded, it had to be made
up of the men OF several regiments.
About 9 o'clock the staff left the ridge,
leaving it Uttered with grooming men /;
and moving gently lest we should tread
on the PROSTATE wounded, we lost our
way as we had lost our army. We could
find no rest by reason of alarm of Bashi
Bazouks swarming 10 among the scat
tered and retreating Russians.

The Russians have met their first Sc
rious check in the campaign. The great
battle of Plevna lasted two days. One
hundred thousand troops were engaged
on tho two sides. The Russians were rout,
ed with loss of 5000 killed and 10000
wounded. Osman Pash reports that the
Turks captured great quantity of arms
and ammunition; that Turkish casualties
we're comparatively small, as they
fought upon the defensive. Another re-
port is that the Turks lost 5000 men.
The Russians have since retaken the po-
sItlon held by them previous to this dis
astrous battle, and are now strainlng ev-
ry nerve to strike crushing blow, be-
fore the Turks can reap advantage from
their late success.

The following from the lnter-Ocear
seems to throw some light on the Muir
dock pension matter:
A paragraph is going the rounds OF
the news. papers stating that a member
of the Kansas Legislature, named Muir.
dock, who can see as well as anybody,
was receiving from the government u
pension of $50 per month for total blind
ness. The story was started by dis
charged clerk from the Pension Office,
named Hall in revenge for tancied
grievance. No person but Mrs. Abrs-
ham Lincoln receives a pension from
the government amounting to $50 q
month. Several widows of eminent mil.
itary men receive pensions as high as $40
a month. lint these cases are very rare
The facts in Murdock's case are these !:
He was q soldier, and from neuralgia
while in the service lost one eye, and
the sight of the other was greatly im-
paired. He sought pension and was
given what he was entitled TO under the
law, Just four dollars month, no where
near enough TO pay the bills of ply
stefan, whose treatment the condition
of his eyes has nscessitatsd tor several
wears. The enemies OF Senator Ingalls,
have circulated this false statement Of
the case, and have tried to use it to his
discredit IRON the remarkable circum-
stance that Murdoch was a member Of
the Kansas Legislature last year. and
Senator Ingalls, expects TO be candidate
for reelection before the Legislature
which meets in 1879.

Paris, Aug. 4.-Adelina PATHS case
has been decided. Both the lady and
her husband had filed applications for q
judicial separation, Nine. PATHS sppli.
cation was refused. Her husbands was
granted. The sentence states that Mime
Patti does not even offer TO bring for
ward any proof OF facts she alleges. On
the other hand, the documents placed
before the tribunal, particularly the cor
respondence addressed to Nine. Patti by
a third person, show that her conduct
did the grsrest injury to her husband.
The court, therefore, pronounces against
her petition for separation of body and
goods, and condemns her to pay costs.
As divorce is unrecogniEed by French
law, neither party can marry again.

SAN Francisco, Aug. "A press dis
patch from Lewiston, August LIST, says
yesterday Indian Joe and his family
who have been with the people at Slate
creek all through the Indian troubles
and proved true ard faithful to the
whites, returned from Hannah, where
they had been sent to ascertain the move
ments of the hostiles. His squaw says
the Indians at Kamlah told her they
were going across the mountains by the
Lolo trail with stock and families, and
when they got them in secure place
they would return and fight the Indians.
She also states that before leaving
kamIah they went to the friendly In
dams camp and drove off all the young
squsws, beat them with clubs and forced
them along like 90 many cattle. They
also came back and robbed them of ey
erything they could find and all their
horses Of any value. 1t is further stated
that the hostiles are to be reinforced by
other Indians from the other side of the
mountains when they return.
Her statements are considered reliable
oy those who have known her. This
morning Lieut.. Wllmot, With thirty men,
started to 60 across the Salmon river to
ascertain if any hostiles remain here. il
having been reported for several day 8
that few had been seen in that direc-
ton. The object is to hunt them on,
and destroy all supplies.
Ii Is now believed by old acauaint-
ances of Joseph that he will put away
in safety his stores and extra horses, and
return TO Comas prairie, and returning
by Elk City and Piute trails, which are
much more easily travelled than Lolo.
This trip can with forced marches, be
made IN seven days. He has asserted
his determination to burn the grain on
Comas prairie and then arrange his
plans to go TO wsIlows, and the opinion
s prevalent that he will attempt il.

An Awful Climate.

Americans who want to be thoroughly
posted about the dreadful weather they
have had must look abroad for informa-
ton that will cause them to realize the
frightful temperature they experienced.
The London NeVs, in recent editorial,
says: "People who shudder for cold
during what harder folks are pleased to
call seasonable Christmas weather in
London can have little idea of the tenn
perature in December by the shores of
Lake Erie, where one ventIrsng sudden

and where the poles of the telegraphs

Attention..

If were boy again / would school
myself into habit of attention oftener,
l would let nothing come between me
and the subject in hand. / would re-
member that an expert on the ice never
tries to skate in two directions at once.
One of our great mistakes, while we are
young, is that we do not attend strictly
to what we are about just then, at that
particular moment; we do not bend our
energies close enough to what we are
doing or learning we wander into Il
half-interest only, and so never acquire
fully what is needful for us to become
master of. The practice of being habit
ually attentive is one easily obtained If
we begin early enough. L often hear
grown-up people say, 81 couldn't fix
my attention on the sermon, or book,
although L wished to do SO" and the
reason is habit of attention was never
formed in youth. Let me tell you sad
instance of neglected power of concen-
tration. A friend asked me once to
lend him an interesting book, something
that would enchain his attention, for he
said he was losing the power to read.
After few days he brought back the
volume, saying it was no doubt work
of great value and beauty, but that the
will to enjoy it had gone from him for
ever, for other matters would intrude
themselves on the page he was trying to
understand and enjoy, and rows of fig
ures constantly marshaled themselves on
the margin, adding themselves up on
the bottom of the leaf flames Fields,
