Statistics OF the Russian Losses.

The Courier DIES Etdts Unis gives
some official statistics of the Turco- Rus
sian war, from which it appears that the
Russians slain or wounded, during the
conflict just ended, amount to 89,304
officers and soldiers. The number of
Generals represented in this sum is
twenty-one. A Prince of the imperial
family and thirty-four members of the
higher Russian nobility died on the
fields of battle. OF the wounded, 36, 1924
are already completely cured, and 10, 900
others will be able to leave the hospitals
in few weeks. There were 121 men
prisoners in the hands of the Turks at
the time the armistice was concluded.

wounded-aratherl large proportion. This

And all of the cruel wicked ones,
And the motherless youngest boy.

His wrath arose, and he said

Sensations During Hanging.

A question has arisen which very few
living persons are in position to an
swer, viz, what are the sensations ex-
perienced during hanging? Some of the
few who have been able to give any ac-
count of their consciousness at 80 critical
a moment say that, after one instant of
pain, the chief sensation is that of a
mass of brilliant colors filling the eye
balls. The Quarterly Review volume
lxxxv.) treating on this matter, says
An acquaintance of Lord Bacon, who
meant to hang himself partially, lost his
footing, and was cut down at the last ex-
tremity, having nearly paid for his curl
esity with his life. He declared that he
felt no pain, and his only sensations were
of fire before his eyes which changed
first to black and then to sky-blue.
These colors are even a source of pleas
ure. A Capt. Montagnac, who was exc
cuted in France during the religious
wars, but was rescued from the gibbet
at the intercession of Marshal Turenne,
complained that, having lost all pain in
an instant, he had been taken from
light of which the charm defed des-
cription. Another criminal, who es-
capped through the breaking of the hal
ter, said that, after second or two of
suffering, light appeared, and across it
most beautiful avenue of trees" All
agree that the uneasiness is quite mo-
mentary, that pleasurable feeling i'm
medistely succeeds, that colors of vari-
GUS hues start up before the eyes, and
that these having been gazed at for linn
tied space, the rest is oblivion. The
mind, averted from the reality of the sit
uation, is engaged in scenes the most re-
mote from that which fills the eye of
the spectator.-AU the Year Round.

Senator COnkling and the President.

Senator Conkling Indignantly repels
all intimations that he is actuated by a
spirit of factiousness in his treatment
Of nominations that are referred to his
committee, and that he is only too de-
sirous to be supplied with peg upon
which to hang an objection in order to
antagonize Hayes nominations, and If
possible defeat a favorable report. He
admits that he was personally interested
in the defeat of the nominations of
Roosevelt and Prince for Collector and
Surveyor of New York respectively, but
that was question of life and death
with him; and besides, he considered
those nominations as inspired by feel
ing of personal hostility to him, and
with the design of 80 weakening his in
huence and the influence of his follow
ers as to ruin his prospects for re-elec-
ton to the Senate. Aside from these
personal matters, Conkling says he has
no other desire than to deal fairly with
the Presidents nominations. S. Washing

A Visit to a London Doc-Show


The bloodhounds were the fiercest and
most sullen. looking of all. They did
not join in the general barking and up
roar, but kept their heads buried in the
straw. Once, as we were watching
them, away off in remote end of the
building. an acrobat began his perform
ance of walking on rope and jumping
through rings, high up in the air. Then
these hounds suddenly lifted themselves
erect, and, fixing their sharp eyes on that
little red and blue speck of man sus-
pended in the air, set up loud, long,
unearthly howl, which all the other dogs
took up, and for few minutes the sounds
shook the whole palace, like the roar of
all the wild beasts of the forest.
By and by o'clock came, and the
owners of the dogs came in to take them
home. How glad they were 10 see them
They jumped up, rolled about, licked
their keepers hands and faces, whining
aud yelping for Joy. One dog, who had
not been sent for, was jealous to see his
neighbor petted. He growled at every
loving caress, and sat snarling in his
corner, discontinued and sour, till he
saw his own master, when he broke into
a howl of intense delight and tugged
furiously at his chain.
When the big hampers were brought
to contine the dangerous ones, and the
chains were being unfastened, what a
rollicking, rushing time it was The
glad creatures jumped and galloped all
the way to the station.
The train was full of dogs-they were
everywhere. Eager to be off, they were
hurrying up and down the platform,
dancing about the ticket offices, racing
over trunks, for all the world like boys
let out OF boarding-school going home
for the holidays.
We saw their impatient faces pushing
out of every car-window, their tail
wagging out of every door.

says everything is at stand-still in that
country. The government have neither
money nor credit, and are in great dis
tress. Discomfort prevails among all
classes, and all suffer alike. The Khe-
