The Timely Arrival of the Russian Relief at
Shipka.

Shipka.
From the London Daily News,
1t was o'clock; there was lull in
the fighting, of which the Russians
could take no advantage, since the re
serves were all engaged. The grimcd,
sun-blistered men were beaten out with
heat, fatigue, hunger, and thirst, There
had been no cooking for three days, and
there was no water within the Russian
lines. The poor fellows lay painting on
the bare ridge, reckless that it was swept
by the Turkish rifle fire. Others dog
gedly fought on down among tho rocks,
forced to give ground, but doing so
grimly and sourly The cliffs and val
leys send back the triumphant Turkish
shouts of allah il Allah!"
The two Russian Generals were on
the peak which the first position half
cncloses. Their glasses anxiously scann-
ed the visible glimpses of the steep
brown road leading up there from the
Jantra valley, through thick copses of
sombre green, and yet more sombre
dark rock. Stoletoff cries aloud in sud-
den access excitement, clutches his
brother General by the arm, and points
down the pass. The head of a long
black column was visible against the
rcddishbrown bed of the road Now
God be thanked" !" said Stoletoff solemn
ly. Both Generals bare their heads.
The troops spring to their feet. They
descry the long black serpent coiling up
the brown road. Through the green
copses a CLINT of sunshine flashes,
banishes the sombreness, and dances on
the glistening bayonets. Such gust
of Russian cheers whirls and eddies
among the mountain tops that the Turk
ish war cries are wholly drowned in the
welcome which the Russian soldiers
send to the comrades coming to help
them.
Some time elapses. The head of the
column draws near the Karaula, and is
on the little plateau in front of the khan.
But they are mounted men. The horses
are easily discernible. Has Radetzky,
then, been so left to himself, or so hard
pushed, that he has sent cavalry to cope
with infantry among the precipices of
the Balkans? Be they what they may,
they carry tongue that can speak, for
on the projection to the right of the
khan mountain battery has just come
into action against the Turkish artillery
on the wooded ridge, by the occupation
1f which the Turks are fanking the
Russian position. There are no riders

Church Music In Court.

From the Pittburg Commercial.
Messls. S. p. Collins, L. W. Jackson,
and j. H. Williamson, through their
counsel, have filed n bill in equity in
Court No. 2, against Rev. M. W. Dallas,
j. M. Arnold, Alex. Flowers, G. B. Say
ers, Stev. Bossinger, and NJ. G. Drayo.
The complainants set forth that they
are members, in good standing, of the
Ames Methodist Episcopal Church in
Hazelwood; that the fourteenth section
of the charter of said congregation con-
tains this clause,
Singing in the public congregation
being part of divine worship, all the
congregation should unite in it, and
therefore no instrument of music shall
ever be used, and no organization or
association of a select body of singers
shall be allowed which will interfere
with congregational singing;" that on
the 10th day of April 1877, an applca-
ton was made to Court to amend said
charter so as to premit the use of music
and choir singing in the church; that
exceptions to granting the amendment
were filed by Collins and others, and
commissioner appointed by the Court
to take testimony thereon, which has
not yet been closed, nor has the Court
taken any further action; that the re-
spondents, in violation of the charter,
and regardless of the proceedings
named, have placed an organ in the
church, have used the same and insist
that it shall remain and be used notwith-
standing the objections and protests of
complainants. The Court is asked to
grant preliminary injunction to re-
strain said respondents and their asso-
ciates from using said organ or any other
musical instrument in the church during
divine services.

The hoodoods or frontier guards in
Thessaly, who are specially employed
in the suppression of brigandage, have
of late laid themselves open to the
charge of irregular conduct; and the
other day some of them were guilty of
an act which had not unreasonably ex-
cited general Indignation. A party of
about 20 hoodoods formed plan for
robbing the Netema monastery, about
five hours distance from Trikala. The
prior and some of tho monks were alb
sent harvesting, and the building was
only occupied by three monks and an
old woman servant. Being surrounded
by strong walls, the hoodoods waited
until the monastery gates were opened
after morning prayers, when they rush
ed in, stripping the church of the cen
sers, candlesticks, silver, and all the val
uablcs it contained, and then demanded
money. The demands not being COM
piled with, the hoodoods put the unfor-
tunate monks to torture, pouring boiling
oil over them, and otherwise subjecting
them to barbarous treatment. One
monk was killed and the other two
would, no doubt, have also shared the
same fate but that the hoodoods discov-
cred where the money was and made off
with it, the amount they carried away
being about $50 liras. The next day
some of the absent monks returned from
the harvest, and, on hearing what had

The young doctor sprang from his horse and
sta'lnched the wound. Bandages were APP
piled, and his life was saved. The pursuer
had also thrown himself from his horse, and
as the physician tied up the last bandage he
looked up in his face and said:
How lucky, neighbor, that l was able to
arrive Just in time.'
The wondering spectator was silent with
awe, and, after assisting the wounded man
home, he told such a miraculous tale to the
wondering villagers as secured to the young
physician a reputation not only for skill but
also for supernatural PRESENCE. Thus did

JUST IN TINE.

A young physician, having tried in vain
to get into practice, at last fell upon the fol-
lowing expedient to set the ball rolling: He
sprang upon his horse once a day, and rode
at full speed through the village. After an
absence of an hour he Mould return, and
carry with him some of his Instruments
thinking if he could impress his neighbors
that he had practice, they would begin to
place confidence in his ability.
A wag, who more than suspected the de-
ceit which he was practicing, determined to
know the truth. He accordingly kept his
horse in readiness, and the next time the
doctor galloped by his door he sprang upon
his steed and placed himself on the young
g%entleman's trail.
The doctor saw the man following at his
heels, but did not, at first, feel any uneasi-
ness. At length, however, he thought it
advisable to turn down marrow lane. The
pursuer followed on like an evil genius; but
the doctor, was not discouraged, as another
road Law a short distance ahead OF him, down
which he turned. The other kept close at
his heels, and the doctor grew impatient to
return home. There was no house by the
wav at which he could afford any preteAt
for stopping.
In the meantime, his saddle-bags were

they speak with abrubtness to the wife, and
do many rude little things without consider
