A Sad Sketch From Arkansas.

YESTERDAY, in little frame house
on Sixth street, near Center. there was
a scene of miserable, grief-stricken
desolatiun that is rarely witnessed in
this city. On bed sat a woman whose
face bore marks of sickness, grief and
despair. Beside her lay hef husband.
dead, with face so worn and trenched
by sickness that an intimate friend
might not have recognized it. On q ia
BILE at the foot of the bed rested a little
black coffin, containing the remains of
q baby. In the corner of the room was
pine coffin, on which played little
child of the man whose remains were
claimed by the death-box. Laughing
in glee and rapping on the coffin with
its little fists, humming incOherently,
the little thing played. A Gazette re-
porter learned the following from the
woman. She spoke with great difficult
ty, and would frequently stop till par
oxysm of grief passed. The dead
mans name is William Foster, and he
had for some time previous to his death
been employed at Thompson's wagon
yard. Eight days ago he was attacked
by pneumonia, and gradually sank till

acquire. They made no attempt to dis

they heard of Josie's modest conquest.

Josie had thought of it, and very
happy thoughts they were, too.
The financial disaster of the three
years that followed made quite change
in the surroundings of all the above,
with the exception of Josie and her
husband. Out of the wreck of Mr..
Wilson's business nothing was left but
the honor and integrity, which shone
allthe more brightly from the temporary
gloom that surrounded him. His wife
took their altered fortunes very. hard,
fairly fretting and worrying herself in
to the grave, where she was laid a few
months after. Penniless and untitled
for anything higher, the husbands of
Belle and Lucy were glad to accept po-
sitions, one as a conductor on city
car, the other a third-rate clerkship.

denies broke out among them and
swept away hundreds. In some cases
the Russians overlook them. Then
they threw their children away or
drowned them in the rivers, left every
thing, and fed. In one case the ad-
vancing Russians collected and cared
for several hundred small Turkish chill
dren picked up in a single day. They
crowded the trains for Constantinople
and died by the score in the cars. They
died at Constantinople of epidemics,
cold and starvation. Of all this vast
multitude very few have returned to
their homes or ever will return. Proba-
bly, half of them are already dead; a
large number are now dying of starva-
ton in the Rhodope Mountains; others
have been sent to Syria and Asia
Minor. Perhaps so, 600 remain in Con-
stantinople and vicinity. By the treaty
of Berlin no Circassian is allowed to
live in Bulgaria or Roumelia. The
Bulgarians have returned, and it has
become thoroughly Christian province.
The recent massacres in Macedonia and
the retiring of the Russians from Thrace
have also caused large Christian emi-
grafton from the Provinces into East
ern Koumelia. 1 think we may set
down the loss of life in these various
massacres and migrations in European
Turkey at not less than 750, 900, not in
cluding Bosnia and Herzegovina.
