sk0bel0n,s War.

A cablegram from st. Petersburg says:
General skobeloff telegraphs on the 11th
inst, announcing that on the 9th, at o'clock
in the evening, $4,000 Teke Turcomans made
a sudden sortie from Geek Tepe and assaulted
the Russian trenches, which were manned by
nineteen companies of infantry and 100 Co.'S
sacks acting as infantry, with three siege guns
and twenty-one light guns. In spite of heroic
defense by the troops, the Turcomans carried
he Russian outworks and part Of the sec
ond parallel, capturing four mountain guns
and three siege guns. The Russians then
opened an artillery fire, and the reserve stimuli
taneously attacked the enemy, who were dis
lodged from all the points they had captured.
All the artillery was retaken, with the exception
of one mountain gun, which had been carried
of during the early part of the engagement.
The Russian loss was heavy; one company of
the Ansheron regiment alone had thirty-two
men killed, including major and captain,
and ten wounded, and one officer taken pris-
oner. The Turcoman losses are much greater;
their dead filed the Russian trenches. Stimuli
taneously with this attack n considerable body
of Turcoman cavalry made sortie on the Rus
sian camp, which was successfully repulsed.
After the Turcomans had been repulsed orders
were given for laying third parallel. Soon at
the Turcomans saw the works commenced they
renewed the attack with their entire strength
upon the whole Russian front, but were COM
PEELED to return into the fortress by artillery
fire, at close range, from the Russian second
parallel"

WESTERN AVALANCHES.
Damage ON the Railroads-Men Buried

Escape OF the Town Of Alta.


Escape OF the Town Of Alta.
A letter from Salt Lake, Utah, dated the 18th
inst, says: "wednesday night the snow fell in
sheets and the wind became hurricane. About
10 o'clock the snow slide carried away the flag
staff of the Ore House, 400 feet of the railroad
sheds, and swept across the Flat Greek to the
opposite mountain. Later, another slide
passed over the Victoria and Imperial House,
burying in it two persons, who dug their
way out in ten. hours. Continuing, it swept
away the Grizzly boarding house, in which
were Mr.. Nathan Haskins and four children,
ris. OF these Mrs. Haskins and daughter, Jane
Howarth, and Van Morris were killed.
"Another slide smashed and buried the To-
ledo Works and boarding house, killing Charles
Borbridge and Frank Laporte.
Thursday and Friday work was stopped at
the principal mine, and many of the men left
the canon for the valley. The storm continued
and piling the snow, just over the crest of the
bill, north of Alta, on the Alta side. The great

The Silence of Friendshin.

Only real friends understand silence.
With passing guest or ceremonial ac-
quaintance you feel under an obligation
to talk; you make an effort to entertain
him as matter of courtesy; you may
be tired or weak, but no matter, you
feel you must exert yourself. But,
with very dear and intimate friend
sitting by you, there is no feeling of
the kind. To be sure, you may talk if
you feel able, pouring out all sorts of
confidence, relieved and refreshed by
the interchange of thoughts and SYM
pathies. But, if you are very tired,
you know you do not need to say a
word. You are perfectly understood.
and you know it. You can enjoy the
mere fact of your friends presence, and
find that does you more good than con-
versation The sense of that present
and sympathetic affection rests you
more than any words. And your friend
takes it as the highest proof of your
friendship and confidence, and probab-
ly never loves you SO vividly as in'these
still moments. No matter that twi-
light is falling, and that you cannot
see each others faces-the presence
and the silence are full of brightness
and eloquence, and you feel they are
enough.

A Remedy for Diphtheria.

New York Herald.
At meeting of the Brooklyn Board
of Aldermen held recently, a COM
munication on diphtheria and its
cure was received from a lady in Will
iamsport, Penn. She said that she was
the mother of six children, all of whom
had been afflicted with the dreadful dis
ease, and were cured by the following
remedy: ''Take slice of fat bacon
side meat-the older the better; sew it
on soft piece of flannel; then saturate
it with coal (petroleum) oil. Place it
on the neck, having the meat reach
from ear to ear. After pounding sever
al raw onions into poultice, place
enough of the same into the patient S
stockings TO cover the soles of the feet,
and have the patient put the stockings
on. The poultice must be warm in
order not to chill the patient. The
throat should then be well gargled
with some tomato catsup, strong with
red pepper, salt and vinegar, or pepper
salt and vinegar shaken well together
will do. If the patient is too young to
gargle, wet the throat with few drops.
If vomiting occurs, lime-water pur-
chased at drug store with directions
should be given. Be sure to cause an
irritation on the neck"
The communication was referred to
the Board of Health.

After Dinner Music,

A New York letter tells us the follow
ing story of distinguished p,'inla
dOnna-''She accepted only two or
three invitations while she was here,
and one was at the house of a wealthy
elegant dinner was over, and the party
had returned to the drawing-room, the
hostess, in a manner that admitted of
no refusal, asked the pffma donna to
sing She became indignant, but,
while hesitating what to say-for she
speaks only few words of English
the sound of hand-organ was distinct
ly heard from the street. With dra-
matte gesture of her hand towards the
window, the singer said, Madame will
find out-of-doors one who will make
music after she will give him dinner. ~

The Younr,

To accustom the young to be and to
do is more important than to induce
them to learn and to know. What they
think out with their own thoughts and
work out with their own hands is worth
far more to them than any amount of
passive reception of other mems
thoughts or doings, even through the
very best books or the best teachers.
Let the child feel, not merely that he is
P 'eparing for something in the future,

life in the present, taking his own share
of work and responsibility, strengthen
ing his powers by continual action, and

Unfortunate Lives.

An unfortunate life is one of the lead
ing causes of both physical and moral
disease. One might write an entire
volume upon this subject. Numerous
examples of the effects of an unhappy
life may be observed every day. Every
child knows of them. An unhappy
life is like dust in the machinery of a
clock. 1t makes it go badly-even
prevents it from going at all. But,
when the dust has been removed, it
goes once more rs Well as ever When
we are unfortunate and happy, we are
as sound, as Il fish in the water. An
unhappy, unfortunate life prevents
those changes from going on in the
system which health requires
good digestion, good circulation, and a
comfortable action of the nervous sys-
tenn. If we wish to be healthy, we
should endeavour to make our lives
successful and happy.

The Crown Prince of Denmark is of

short stature. He used to be light and
graceful dancer. His feet yet remain
phenominally small, but his figure is al
tering, and there are signs of double
chin. In short, the paterfam,ltas su-
percedes the Prince charming. The
recent addition to the royal nursers was
a seventh child. Family cares do not
appear to wear on the Princess. She
enjoys company, the theater, the opera;
is ' cry fond of dancing when she has a
tall partner. She boasts of her French
blood, which comes to her from the
Bernadotte, Clays, and Beauharnais.

The Primitive Baptists make it a rule
to eXpel member from the church who
takes advantage of any relief law or re-
fuses to pay a debt. A few months
since one of this class-a pretty rough
case-entered an Athens, Ga, store and
wanted credit for few goods until he
could sell his cotton. Not knowing his
customer the merchant refused, but
about this time a well-known elder of
the church entered and tapping the
farmer on the shoulder, asked:
''How are you, Brother Frank?''
els that gentleman a member of your
church, Uncle D.?' asked the trades
man.
''Oh, yes, and good one too" was
the reply.
''Well, then, my FRIEND" continued
the dealer, Ego through this house from
cellar to garret and pick out what you
want. will sell you the whole estab-
ishment, clerks and all, on credit, with
only your religion as security"
1t turned out that the customer was
one of thesolid men of northeast Georgia.
