LONDON, June 2O,-0pinion in the

Yukovies, the leader, to whom the de-
tense of Duga pass was entrusted, he
is charged with utter i~ncapacity. Some
battalions received no orders whatever,
aud after the retreat from Kristacs all
cohesion of the army seemed lost.
Advices report terrible outrAges by
the Russians upon the CireAssian popu-
lation of Siberia. Towns are sacked,
women ravished and meH banished, A
reign Of terror prevails. The Russians
burned the military hospital in Arabian,
aud 500 inmates persisted.
Correspondents report the Russians
active in the country bounded east and
west by the rivers Veds and Alnta.
They are concentrating at Simnitza, but
the river there has greatly overhoWed its
banks. The prevalent opinion seems tc
point to Nicopolis as the crossing place

appearance is martial, his carriage
erect, his tones decisive, and his
arms and accoutrements clean and
well put on. His military ardor is
in no way damped by his exploits
last summer in Herzegovina, and
he is so thoroughly imbued with a
sentiment of his strategical excel
lence that his confidence has,
among the wags in his army, gained
him the alias Of "Von Moltke."
Ishmael Pasha, the Vail, belongs to
a family of highwaymen, and his
nephews still practice with great
success, and in the immediate
neighborhood, their lucrative pro-
fession. The Governor himself is
entirely ignorant of the useful art
of writing, but, like a child Of five,
with patience and perseverance, he
can read some words. The officer
commanding the artillery, not even
so well educated as the Pasha, has

THE Gear and ais Brother in Early
r.. Youth.

Two stories that are told by
Leouzon lie Due of the Gar of Rus
STA and of his brother Constantine
in their early youth are interesting
as showing the strict impartiality
in which they were broughtpp:
Constantine, who held at fourteen
years Of age the post of grand adj
miral, but who remained under the
guidance of Admiral Lutke, pro-
NOTED a sailor against the wishes of
Lutke, who declined to sanction the
promotion. Constantine appealed
to his father, who supported Luke,
much to the wrath of the young
admiral, who expressed his indigna-
ton at being Grand Admiral of the
Empire while yet unable to promote
Il sailor, and instantly offered his
resignation. 81 accept it," replied
Nicholas. "You have never had
anything but the name of your
post, and | will never permit you
TO bear it until you have learned
the principal quality of a chief
that of properly knowing and judg-
ing the men who are under your
command"
The story with regard to the
present Gar is very much the same.
Also at fourteen years of age he
was au officer in the guard, and on
one occasion, in going through the
palace he passed a hall in which
were several persons of high mill
tary rank, who saluted the young
prince as he passed. This mark Of
respect greatly pleased the young
man, and he passed and repassed
the hall several times in the hope
of again receiving it; but the gen.
erals took no more notice of him.
Annoyed at this, Alexander went
to complain to Nicholas, who, in.
stead of cousoling him, severely
reprimanded him for his vanity, anC
at cnce deprived him of the ranl
he held until he should prove him
self capable Of enduring it honor
ably.

The Execution of the Molly MA.

New York, June pa Pottsville E,
Penn, dispatch says: The caution and
secrcsy with which all matters connected
with the execution Of the Molly Maguires
to-morr w are conducted are noticeable.
1t is said that the reason for it is 10 order
that those engaged in arranging it may
not be known, The sheriff, for instance,
will not tell the localreporters where the
gallows is to stand or who built it, and
when be learned that a reporter had dis
covered those vital matters he sent for
him in great haste, and lost him aiclear
half a column by threatening to lie we
him out on the day Of the execution in
case he should publish the news so sur.
reptitiously acquired.

deed an anomaly and q nlonstrosity
Happily few such men are found,
and fewer still who have the hardi-
hood and recklessness Of decent
public opinion to utter their senti-
ments. The Jews of New York,
especially, are noted for their
wealth, culture, liberality and cos
mopolitanism. 1t is estimated that
the Jews on Manhattan Island are
worth one hundred millions of dol
lars, and their wealth has not been
misapplied.S They own and i'm.
prove real estate, pay large taxes
and promptly; have built magniti-
cent temples pay their rabbis lib
eral salaries, sustain their own poor
and give freely besides in response
to various outside calls upon their
beneyolence. Hilton has a hrayado
kind of courage because he
has wealth and power, Strip
him of the latter and he would
be a shrinking coward. Tyrennii-
cal men are invariably towards at
heart. Hi is the most petty and
despicable kind of tyranny, which,
if opportunity afforded, wOuldYvent
itself as soon on a Quaker, a Meth
odist, Baptist or Catholic as on a
Jew, if his preiudices set that way.
There are many Hiltons in the
world, and even in this country, but
their venom is restrained by a
healthy public sentiment, and they
shrink away from the thoroughfares
of men at the diffusion of popular
intelligence and the growth of free
thought and broad, generous senti-
ment.

Ii it is insisted that civil offices in
the South should be held in part by
colored men, who are rarely quail
fled by education for the position,
it is not easy to see why colored
men who have been educated for q
military position should be laid on
the shell. 1t is a little curious,
however, if while the law requires
the colored troops to have white
officers, there is nothing to prevent
white troops from having colored
officers. Senator Blaine, however,
it is stated, suggested that. Cadet
Flipper should go South and be-
come a leader of his race. He thinks
Flipper could in hal way become
famous, and could accomplish much
good for the country. 1t remains
to be seen whether he will be so
accommodating.

Personal Appearance OF the Rus
sian Commander.

The Grand Duke Nicholas is a
fine looking man, apparently about
forty years of age. / do not think
that | have described him before to
you, although | have seen him often
at Kischeneff. He appeared to
better advantage on this occasion
than before, for he was now given
to understand the really friendly
attitude of the Roumanians toward
him, and the reception was a tri-
umph as gratifying as unexpected.
The melancholy yet naughty Ro-
manoR expression usual to his coun-
tenance was displaced by a pleasant
and kindly smile. He replied briefly
to the address Of welcome, and en-
tering a barouche in waiting was
driven to the castle. The Grand
Duke is brother to the Gar, and is
said to hold more titles than any
other man in Europe. AS is well
known, he is in command Of the
army Of the Danube. Physically he
is every inch a soldier of large
stature and commanding mien. He
wears the traditional side whiskers,
which are scarcely tinged with gray.

ested in knowing that their author
ess has quite a romantic history Of
her own. She was born at Stoke

wear 1926, and was engaged to be
married in her youth to a gentle
man whose business made it neces-
sary for him to leave England. On
his return from the voyage they
were to be united. All promised
well, and when news came that the
ship was returning in safety, with
joyful heart Miss MulOck and her
mother went to the wharf to well
come, as Ill "My Mother and J." the
successful merchant. The vessel
came into sight, and on the deck
stood the young man, who appeared
overjoyed to see awaiting him the
beloved of his heart. They ex-
changed greetings, and, mingling
with the crowd, he hurried to be
the first to land /; but as he was on
the plank, his foot slipped and he
fell into the water and was drowned
before her very eyes. For a long
time Miss Mulock could not occupy
herself with anything, but at last
her friends indeed her to write for
consolation IN her great sorrow, and
she sent out "John Halifax, which
established her reputation and alb
sorbed her thoughts. Time passed
on, but she never swerved in her
allegiance to her drowned love; but
