PRACTICALLY SETTLED.
Russia Must Make the Best or n BAD
RargaIn.

Bargain.
LONDON June 28,-A dispatch received
from Berlin says some minor difficulties and
hltches may yet occur, but the work Of the
congress Is practically accomplished as far as
Turkey in Europe Is concerned Russia has
found herself beaten at every point, and made
the best Of q bad bargain and withdrawing
from her demands one after another, and
finally taking what the magnanimity of Eng
land offered her. The skill with which Lord
BeacOusfeld has
WON HIS VICTORY
Is admired everywhere. From this time on the
work OF this congress will be between England,
Austria, Turkey and Greece. Russia Is out Of
the question.
Another dispatch says there will be warm
contention between England and Austria,
turkey and Greece, respecting the organiza-
ton OF the Greek provinces of the Balkan
peninsula, and that this contention began in
to-day's session. There must be struggle
also over Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Dispatches from ConstantinopIe represent
tthat O conspiracy Is evidently on foot, but It's
leaders are acting with unusual prudence,
and are opposed to permitting any overt act
until the congress ut Berlin has ended its
work and full arrangements for the future
destiny of Turkey are known. The return of
the Ottoman delegates from Berlin will proba-
bly, be the signal for an outbreak

LITTLE MADGE.

Saturday morning Gov. Nichols received a
dispatch announcing the severe illness of his
little daughter Madge. Immediately upon
the receipt Of the dispatch he took special
train, accompanied by DR.. Samuel Chopin,
but before he reached the home where his
family awaited him he was met by a second
telegram telling him of the death Of his be-
loved child. He reached his place Of destina-
ton only to see the coffin where the cold body
of his daughter was enclosed forever. He
missed even the supreme consolation Of view
ing the features of his beloved one, cold
rigid and yet lovely in death! When he
reached his home the screws OF the little
coffin had already been fastened. With the
indomitable spirit and nerve that dist1n-
guishes him as a man and a tried soldier, he
mastered the feelings that overpoWered a
father under such all unforeseen and terrible
disaster, and, thinking of the living ones that
he loved, he marshaled them together and
brought them to the city, so that at least the
survivors would, In case of sickness, have the
proper attendance.
| Little Madge was three years old and the
pet Of the family, full Of all those graces that
.adorn a child of that age; she leaves such a
void in the family circle as can never be
filled. The silvery laughter of the lost one
is now silenced, the graceful gestures of po-
etic infancy are stiffened into everlasting I'M
mortality, but to the bereaved parents there
can be afforded this consolation, that Christ
has called unto him all the children. and that
the death Of this little darling is but a trans.
formation, which makes of one, perhaps that
was destined to suffer in this world, an ange
with white wings hereafter to be blessed with
eternal happiness.

Now and then some thriving village or town
aspiring to metropolitan distinction, rises up

"eclipsing the famous Mardi Gras celebration
in New Orleans" st. Louis is going through
this period Of experiment and disastrous
failure. Her 'sVeiled Prophets" will appear
on the streets tomorrow night, and the pub
lie is promised display Of unsurpassed

Louisians all possible success in their attempt
to rival this city in its own peculiar line, but
fears the procession will be only second rate
affair. There is one thing in favor OF its sue
cess, however, New Orleans furnished the
