In Augusta. last week, we saw tLr HEN
steam fire engine, recently constructed IN
Frank Moorlen. upon principles suggest
ed by pr Hill. The machine cmbodies
the theory Of the inventor that steam fire
engines can " greatly simpllfed, render
ed less cumbersome and costly without
impairing their efficiency The result is
the most compact, simple and durable en-
CINE ever set on wheels, ana at the same
time wonderfully effective 1t weighs but
about half as much as the old engines,
and costs far less. In a recent trial side
by side with the Amoskeag machine, it
threw more water, IA higher stream, and
with marvellous quietness. 1t is undoubt-
eddy the fire extinguisher of the future.
Towns desiring something Of the kind
should investigate the new engine

THE EASTERN WAR.

A Turkish official dispatch of the 9Th says
that after two days. sanguinary fighting,
Hafiz Pasha, commanding the Now Bazaar
Division, has reoecupied Kurscham lie. The
Servian loss was considerable. Eyoub
Pasha, commanding the Civic Guards at
NOvi Bazaar, also defeated the Servians ,pur-
suing them to the frontier, burning six of
their military stations and destroying their
entertainments.
A Bucharest correspondent telegraphed
on the eth: Thaw has commenced, which,
if it continues, will cause the movement of
ice in the Danube to recommence and make
communication more difficult than ever. 1t
is utterly impossible now for horses and
wagons to cross, and the Russian transport
tatiOn department is helpless. Words can
not describe the situation on the
Danube. The Russians suppress kilograms
with a view of preventing the state of affairs
becoming known TO Europe. A terrible out
break Of spotted typhus has occurred in Fra
tishti and neighborhood. 1t originated
among the Turkish prisoners, and it is whis-
pered that it is really the plague.
The Grand Duke Nicholas, on the 9th,
telegraphed the Emperor the following
highly important news: 81 am happy to
congratulate your Majesty upon the brilliant
victory gained this day. Gen. Radetzky has,
after desperate fighting, captured the whole
Turkish army defending Shipka Pass, con-
sisting of Al battalions, 20 batteries, and one
regiment of cavalry. Prince Mirsky has
occupied Kasanlik. Gen. Skobeleff holds
Shipka."
A dispatch from Belgrade, 18th, announces
another serious Turkish defeat. The garri-
son of Nisch has surrendered to the Servi-
ans, after battle lasting five days, with s.
600 men, 1000 rifles and other stores. The
heights commanding the fortress and town
were finally carried by storm. A CORE
spondent at Vienna states that at Shipka
Pass the Russians captured $4,000 men, l.
900 horses, u mortars, u siege-guns and 50
feld-guns.
A Constantinople dispatch of the 18th
says that large numbers of refugees are flock
ing there from Phillipoppolis and Adrians-
pole, in anticipation of the capture of those
places by the Russians. Great destitutiOn
exists.

A Novel Use of the Telephone.

Counting through the medium of the
electric telegraph is no longer in vogue.
Long usage, coupled with tantalizing
mistakes and abuses, has rendered it
obsolete and unromantic. The tele-
phone, as a mode of conveying thought,
is newer and simpler. 1t admits of
greater prolixity than telegraphy, and
being unattended by that monotonous
tick which puzzles and perplexes the
uninitiated, makes it, save that close,
pleasant, and really heavenly proximity
of lovers, indeed and in truth counting
after the prescribed formula of the ages
at least, which we call modern. Louis
vile has been charged with being an old
fogy town, but in love scrapes she leads
the van. The mind of the average
Louisville belle or beau is grasping, in
ventive, and ever on the alert for some
thing understanding unheard of in
story or in song. 1t would be an end
less task to rehearse the triumphs which
have been won in this one special and
truly noble field, but the latest is the
greatest and the best, and destined to
prove the most enduring. An instance
of this is that there exists one young
loving couple, living fully one mile
apart, who whisper their sweet, soft
nothings through the agency of Profess
or Bells latest invention. Not only has
Professor Bells invention been used as
the conveyer of whisperings of love,
but, on a very recent occasion, when a
dress party was given at the residence
of the young gentleman, it was made
the medium through which those pres
ent were introduced to the young lady,
who unfortunately was compelled to re-
main in herroom through indisposition
Sympathy and consolation were by this
means extended to her, and under such
auspices how could the fair one longer
suffer?-LoutSUilLe CoIrter-JournaI.

"A Berlin paper is reminded, by the
death of Prince Sergei, young Russian
officer, in one of the recent battles with
the Turks, that his mother, who was
the Grand Duchess Marie, and daugh-
ter of Gar Nicholas, married under cir
cumstances a little uncommon. She fell
in love with a young German noble
man, Duke Macmillan of Leuchten-
berg, who belonged to an insignificant,
poor, and ruined family, and one that
was not even quite up to the mark, to
the Cars notions, in point of blood.
The Gar was, however, very much at
tached to his daughter. and finally con-
senting to the alliance, proceeded to
make it tolerable by elevating the OBJ
ject of her passion from the humble po-
sition of Captain in the ordnance in
rapid succession to the rank of General,
Admiral of the Empire, with the rank
of Marshal, and member of the Imperial
Council, and decorated him with the
Grand Cross of the Alexander-Newsky
order. The Grand Duchess outlived
her consort, and then made another
miSalliance, marrying her riding-mas
ter, who, like the Duke of Leuchten
berg, was elevated to a fitting rank anC
