I,.,,, .,,,,,) , tures Vr ..y-V

I arrived at Kars just when the occu-
patton Of all it's outworks by the Rus
slams had become an accomplished fact
The Turkish dead lay by scores in and
behind the trenches wherever I looked,
all frozen stiff in the attitude in which
they had expired. Hundreds of big
wild dogs gnawed the bones of the nu-
merous dead horses, whose skins, how
ever, had been previously fayed by
some hardy Spectator. One of the hor-,
rid brutes snuffed greedily at dead
Turk. LA Russian soldier, however,
drove the animal away with the butt
end of his mpsket!, Suddenly a gem
darme rode up in wild haste, shouting
and gesticulating, ",Take care! Don't
you advance. The Turks will attack
you!" I did not understand at first
what he meant, but felt uneasy on see
ing the soldiers slide behind the rocks,
preparing" and leveling their rifles.
This induced me to stand aside At
last the mystery was disclosed.' Some
fifty well armed horsemeri 1recog-
nizable as Turks BY their pink ;fezzes,
dashed with 81 changing lhoofs over
the bridge, fast pursued by ~ squad OF
Cossacks. The situation became rath-
er critical for me, as i was crammed In
between the barbarous riders and the
Russian soldiers. 1t, was evident that
the Mussulmans, relying on the excel
lence of their horses, had the intention
of breaking on this side through the
stragglers, riding for life and liberty.
Luckily for them and me, however,
when they had crossed the bridge and
found themselves engaged in the ravine,
through which the road runs, with some
twenty breechloaders pointed at them,
they halted and deliberated. Time
pressing, they surrendered to then Cos
sacks. T AS they had wounded and killed
some Russians, shooting behind them
after the Parthian fashion, in their pre-
cipitous flight, they were not too tender r;
lily handled. The Cossacks pulled them
off their horses, and stripped them in a
! twinkling of all they possessed, includ-
ing their animals. Had broker been
present he might have concluded excel
lent bargains. I refused an army re-
vyoolver which Cossack rendered to me
as token of his special esteem. Lon

The Russian Trophies at Kars.

The Russian trophies in kars are be-
yond expectation. Three hundred and
twelve cannons, among them AZ field
pieces, whole depots of rifles and re-
volvers, large quantities OF ammunition,
stores, and provisions, and about 10000
prisoners fell into the hands of the con-
ouervsr The remainder of the garri-
son must be considered as killed, or as
having. deserted. The Russians shut
their ewes with regard to deserters, as
they experience too much trouble and
cost by Transporting their countless
prisoners In this season into the interior
'of their ice-shackled country. Whose

suit of plain clothes may run away and
make himself comfortable in one OF the

originally supposed.-LondOn Nelos.

A Maidstone.

The Dallas (Texas) Herald says I:
The Herald recently made mention of a
mad horse, the property of O. j. Wilker-
son, which he, as we'll as several horse
doctors, contended was not mad. DIR.
Cornelius, the health officer, thought it
was, and ordered the removal OF the
animal outside the city limits which was
done. Its owner tied the horse in the
timber, and the next morning on going
to the place found it had died. In re-
moving the rabid animal, Wilkerson re-
ceived severe bite on the back, direct
ly between the shoulder blades. The
wound was very painful, and gave him
no little trouble as we'll rs anxiety. He
called on DIR. Hughes, and stated the
facts to him. That gentleman applied q
maidstone he has, and it stuck fast The
operation was repeated six times, the
stone sticking each time. Wilkerson,
when bitten, had on thick coat, and it
seemed almost impossible for any of the
saliva to have reached his body, yet such
seems to have been the case, the stone
sticking fast each time it was applied.
The doctor then applied it to knife
cut on the body Of the unfortunate man,
but it refused to stick. The man ex-
pressed himselfa as feeling greatly reliev-
ed of pain by the application of the
stone, and the process will be continued. :.
While DIR. Hughes does not claim that
it possesses all the virtues attributed to
it, yet he is wiling to let any one thus
afflicted come and use it free of charge.
This stone is said to be most excellent
one of its kind, and has never failed to
cure those to whom it has been applied.
1t was left to DR.. Hughes by DIR. P. @.
Venerable, of Mecklenburg, Va, who
used it successfully for forty years.
The stone, which was found on the
Staunton river in Halifax county, Vir-
ginia, is black color, resembling, since
1T has been polished, piece of gutta
percha. When used, after each appli-
cation, it is boiled thoroughly in milk to
extract the poison.

Genius on q Tramp.

A wonderful piano-player with a ro-
mantle history is exciting the musicians
of Bridgeport. About two weeks ago a
shabby tramp entered a well-known
music-store on Main street, and asked
for permission to use piano for short
time. The proprietor refused at first,
but afterward consented because the
mans manners were much better than
his clothes. The tramp sat down and
played O. diffivulG composition with great
ease and brilliancy. The pity and con-
tempt of his listeners were at once
changed to admiration. Friends sprang
around him, and they are trying to get
him once more on his feet. His history,
as told by the Farmer, is as follows:
He belongs to titled German family,
and had for his godmother and patroness
no less parsonage than the Queen of
Wurtemburg. He received a university
education, and became a lawyer. He
was at one time consul TO Paris from
Wurtemburg, and moved in the highest
circles of the capital when Napoleon
and Eugene were on the throne. The
cause of his fall from all this high
estate was dissipation of the widest
kind. AS result of his wild and reck-
less courses, he lost his official position
and standing in society, and not only
squandered the income from his family
estate as fast as it came to him, but, in
order to raise money, sold his claim to
what should be due him for twenty
seven years ahead. When he had ex-
hausted his resources at home he came
to this country and engaged in some
kind of business or occupation in New
York. His ignorance of the language,
or the dishonesty of his associates, or
both, caused him to fail, however, and
left him utterly destitute. 1t was then
that he started out from New York on
the tramp, picking up an odd job now
and then on the road, but growing all
the while more ragged and wretched
His aimless tramping journey had
brought him so far as Bridgeport on the
morning when he passsd the music
store, and was irresistibly impelled, by
a sight of the pianos, to go in and ask
to be allowed to play.-Ne,o Haven

japanese HOLIDAYS.

The Japanese are supposed to have no
days of rest, and religious day of rest
they certainly have not. The shops are
never closed except for day or two at
the new year, and such thing as close
holiday like the English Sabbath is
totally unkowl to them. The govern
ment officers, however, have regular
rest days, called "ichi-roku," one-six.
The first, SIKH, eleventh, sixteenth,
twenty. first and twenty-sixth of the
month are the holidays, and these days
are observed ty all the officials and up
per classes. According to the Japan
Mail, however, it is the intention of her
majesty the empress to observe Sunday
as the rest day in lien of the ichi-roku.
When the japanese altered the calendar
from the luna, to the Julian it was said
that this change was to have been also
introduced; but nothing more was
heard of it, and subsequently, there was
an attempt Oh the part of some japanese
authorities to induce foreigners in their
employ to leep ichi-roku instead of
Sunday, butin this they failed. We do
not think that necessarily the change on
the part of the empress has anything in
it that does not appear on the surface -
