London, May 8.-A st. Petersburg CORE
spondent telegraphs that Count Schouvalof,
who left London on Monday, is expected in
the Russian capital on Thursday night. 1t is
said that he brings a project for direct set
Element of the existing deadlock thereby rem
dering the congress unnecessary. The arrival
of the Russian ambassador to the English
Court will therefore be an important event.
Before the departure of Count Schoualofi
for st. Petersburg, he had long interview
with Lord Salisbury, Foreign Secretary, and
Lord Beaconsfield 1t is believed that he
takes the British reply to certain inquiries
and proposals determined upon at st. Peters
burg ten days ago, having in view the with
drawal of the Russians and British from Con
stantinople, and facilitating the assembling of
the congress. AS Count Schouvaloff will not
return here for two weeks, nothing decisive
will be known until next week. High hopes
are entertained in diplomatic circles of the
results of his mission.
London. May 8.-Sir Stafford Northcote,
Chancellor of the Exchequer, addressed a

gotiations, but had hopes, despite all misrep-
resentation, of arriving Al a peaceful settle
ment.

New York, May S-A dispatch from Lon
don says a basis of the arrangement which
the powers desire to submit to the Gar has
been agreed upon. The arrangement is in
FIVE divisions The first division proposes
that the two regions of Bulgaria north of the
Balkans shall be conceded to Russia, and the
southern portion shall remain to great ex-
tent under the authority of the Sultan. The
second division relates solely to compensation,
which it is proposed shall be reduced to a
minimum. The third division relates only
to the Straits question, and will be arranged
hereafter The fourth division demands a
definite settlement of the war indemnity.
Under the fifth division it is proposed that
Thessaly and Epirus shall be accorded the
right of self government, thus securing for
them the protection of Europe and national
independence.

A TOO TRUE STORY.
A greatly distressed lady told me to-day a
story whose o,..' q | will present to the
readers of the Mok> - APPEAL This lady
is now, as she has been for several years past,
engaged in the business Of a nurse Some
time prior to the war of the rebellion she
married man named Samuel Murray Carr,
of New London, New Hampshire. This man
Joined the Eleventh New Hampshire Vol
unteers, Col. Harrimon's afterwards Gov,
Harmon s. regiment. He went to the front
as Captain His term Of service was cut
short by sickness. On or about the llth Of
February, 1867, this man Carr left New Lon
don with his wife and three children. She
has never seen him nor any one of them since
that day Carr, assuming the name of L. \.
Carter, joining himself with woman named
Mary Jane Burpee, whose maiden name was
Flanders, took all three of the childeen by
stealth and all the movable effects belonging
20 himself and wife and suddenly left New
York for Aspinwall on the steamer 'Henry
Chauncey." He had purchased through
ticket to Wellington, New Zealand. Diligent
inquiry, Immediately instituted, failed to find
any clue to the wretched pair. The children
thus kidnapped were girl aged about years
and half, and two brothers, younger than
she. Their names are Lizzie Florence Carr,
Fred Elmer Carr, and Frank Weston Carr.
In the more than eleven years that have in
teryened since she was thus robbed OF her
this unfortunate lady, worse than

them. 1t has come to her, as doubtful
rumor, that they have been sent to Catholic
school or convent. One George E. Lane

C. p Coombs, writing to the Elko hide
pendent from Norwich, Conn, gives the fol
lowing bit of interesting history connected
with that town: "Here are the graves OF
Uncas and Miantonomah, two aboriginal
chiefs, the original owners of this section,
who, according to tradition, met in mortal
combat upon the present site Of the town, in
which the latter chieftain came out second
best, leaving his remains to enrich a small
patch of ground within the city limits. The
bones of Uncas were subsequently deposited
here also, but whether at his own request, or
simply for convenience is question involved
in the cobwebs of the past; that they are both
dead, however, there is not a reasonable
doubt"

nv friend Denis Kternoy seems to have ''the
fnlge" in the Work ngmen increment. That
/, 20 say, he continues to keep himself at the
tead of the revolution, carrying the sand lots
(Which sounds not unlike sans c,.iottes), and
taaring into very small bits the little schemes

roanipulators of the County Committee.
Indeed Kearney seems pretty secure in his

End more gifted demagogne than any of the

his attitude of agitator and reformer. He is
wise. He cannot afford either to be temper

The following verses, with the intro

were very effectively reciled BY little
Hagria Dickson, at Main Street School,
last FFidsy afternoon, sBd biS teacher,
Mrs. Read, has kindly permitted us to
publish them:
During the late war between the North
and South, various paFOdies appeared on
the Iriah ballad ~fhe Wearing OF the
aFeen,1 such As-"W caring Of the Grey"
"WeafinR Of the Blue," etc. Soon after
lts close, the following unpublished lines
were written By Northern man, then .
merchant In Ylcksburg, who has since
died:
Let others aing in melting strains,
OfWearing Blue and Grey.
Let Ella breathe her song Of Green,
As time keeps on his way.
Our song is not Of nag, nor held,
Nor battles crimson track;
But Of the mothers, sisters, wives,
Who're wearing Of the Black
GLORY may circle round the Blue,
And valoF crown the Grey.
And Erin feel beneath her Green,
The pulse OF freedom play,
For Us, The glOFies Of the Camp
Bring no such trophies back;
But cad bereavement gives the right
For wearing Of the Black!
Go gaze on battles Vaunted delds
GO walk their grave-yaTds through,
The green turf grows above the hearts
That wore the Grey and Blue.
There, In the holy hour OF eve,
Before your steps turn back,
Then, aak that solemn widow why
she's wearing Of the Black!
No muse Of Grey, nor Dlue. nor Green,
70 those whose hopes are dead.
Your boasted glory pales its light,
When children cry for bread
May He who feeds the ravens, guard
And hear the orphans cries;
And lead the WeaTers OF the Black,
Back from the. "BTidge OF. sighs."
For ne, no song Of Blue, nor Grey,
, Nor Green, nor Red and White.
Wen walt and labor through the day,
And weep and pray at night;
And when our journey is complete,
Dear Father, take us back,
And give us garments white as snow,
Who're wearing now the Black
