we're stronger than in any state in the
Union. In that state they expected TO
show large gains. The October elections
we're to give them the keynote war

in Indiana and urge the fiat party on to

HORRORS OF
Famished Dogs and Birds Feed
ing on the Dead and Wounded
Fate Wreaks Vengeance on the
Turks
(By Cable to the Herali)

LONDON. December 26.-Mc. Gahan.
the correspondent OF the London Daily
NeWs at Plevna. sends a terrible story
of the state of things prevailing in and
around the captured town. Before the
recent great storm Plevna was simply
q charnel house. Modern warfare has
no parallel for it, and its horrors can
only be compared to those which fol
lowed in the wake of GenghiS Khan
or Timour. as their savage Tartar
hordes swept over and desolated Asia.
Dogs DEVOU H DEAD : WOUNDED.
The famished dogs. of which there
are always large numbers in every
Turkish town, We're feeding on the
corpses Of the dead and the bodies of
the still living wounded. The savage
howis of the greedy brutes as they
tore the putrid flesh of the lead or
crunched the bones between their
teeth. the cries and groans Of the
wounded as they vainly struggled with
the dogs, might be heard for miles
around and made the soul sick.
HORROR UPON HORROR.
Birds were epecking at the skulls.
hopping from. body TO body with beak
and plumage besmeared with human
blood and screaming with fiendish de-
light. Dogs fought among themselves.
and bird struggled with bird for the
possession Of a m0rsel Of human flesh,
end the most indescribable horror
prevailed.
4 HIDEOCS SPECTACLE.
In one house alone thIrty-seven dead
and fiftv-three wounded Turks were
found. some OF the latter in d half de-
composed and putrid state. and the
wounded IN a condition that can be
more easily imagined than described.
Some OF the wounded were able TO
crawl about and ciutched al old NOR
sells Of food that were found IN the
hands OF the dead. devouring it with
feverish avidity but thousands OF
them were utterly helpless and await
ed death or succOr with q i~istless fatal
ism.
DEAD y WOUNDED LIED liz GOD
Eighteen hundred prisoners were
huddled together on the bank of the
Nid. and the horrors OF their position
equalled those Of the great plague
which ravaged Europe IN the four
teenth century. Living and dead
We're piled together promiscuousIv In
heaps like wood. and carted away.

This Is not unparalleled but will 10

We have received from Mr.. John

from the plant bel to market" We
observe that Maj. Malone of Mcdowell

proved a benefactor to all-of-us. The
merest beginner, with good weather,
and the tobacco properly taken from
the hill, can by these instructions, cure
tobacco equal to an old hand"
