A RUSSIAN GENERAL.
Anecdotes of SkObeIen, who was Beloved
by his Soldiers.

The skill, daring, and the care which
Skobeleff took of his soldiers have been
dwelt upon by several historians of the
war and special correspondents. We
can only find space here for a few anec-
dotes of a personal character given by
Russians. His soldiers worshiped him,
looking on him as a demigod:
cone of his soldiers coming unex-
pectedly on the crowd which blocked
the street opposite the Chapelle Ardente,
where Skobeleff lay dead, on asking,
why this crowd? p received answer.
'Skobeleff is dead ? Nonsense re-
piled the simple veteran, 'Skobelef is
not dead He would not consent to die,
1t is impossible And so he uncon-
cernedly went his way, confident that
his beloved general Was s.aI s4lye.
He was in the habit, without ever
compromising his dignity, of mixing
familiarly with his men:
''He used TO eat with them with the
common spoon out of the camp kettles,
that the camp kettle was IN its place. II
was not only the superb military genius
which they admired, but his sympa-
thy, his affection, his homely brotherli-
ness. There was no pride in him-with
the poorest he was as friendly as with
the most powerful"
With his money he was most lavish,
giving away the whole of his pay to the
soldiers and those of his officers who
were in need The following tale will
serve as proof of the devotion of his men:
"Skobeleff went to visit transport
of soldiers badly wounded. One Of the
moribunds recognized him. 'Oh,' said
he, there is our own one our Skobeleff.'
The others heard the name 'Hurrah,
hurrah = they tried to cry out; so weak
and wavering We're their voices, it re-
minded one of death more than life.
One of the wounded soldiers who had to
be operated ON had both legs and an
arm to be amputated. CblorofOrm was Of
fered. why do you object?' exclaimed
IElG oOCIOIS. L CttIllIOL, IClJI1COt IllC ILttll,
rather let me smoke a pipe during the
operation. I cannot take any chloro-
form. tell you I am a Skobelevets'-
belonging to Skobeleff's division"
Kind as he was to his soldiers, he
could be stern enough when necessary.
Once a working party in the trenches,
assaiIed by a murderOus fire from the
Turks, fell back and sought shelter in
the trenches; SkobeIeff exclaimed:
"'Youare frightened. Your
comrades are working, and you are
frightened. Form in rank. They
obeyed. March back to your work,
and that at once. If not, God be my
witness if [ do not make you go through
your drill before the Turkish trenches.

set an example and inspire confidence.
Though, however he exposed himself,
he sought to spare the lives OF others:
"Once he went to the front, and,
turning round, perceived a group of his
officers. why are you here?' he cried.

let you die alone, they said. He under

In Memoriam.

Died, August Goth. 1888, at his
home in Looking-glass, Douglas county,
Oregon, in his 63rd year, John w.
Warren.
Mr.. Warren was born in Robinson
county, Tennessee, and in the year 1851
moved to South Missouri; in 1856 he
visi: ed Texas, returning again to Mis-
souri, in 1859. He served in the
Northern army and was honerably dis
charged in 1868.
Dir. Warren's disease was of very
painful nature, and he suffered acutely
for several days before his dealh. He
was satisfied he could not recover, and
therefore wisely settled up all worldly
meters. His end was peaceful and his
final leave-taking with his family was
affecting in the extreme. He. died
surrounded by his family and many
friends.
Though we humbly bow to the Divine
Will, we cannot but mourn tie loss
we have sustained, and to offer oul
heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved fam
ly. Our social circle, too, has lost one
of its brightest members; the kindly
clasp of his honest hand; the genial wei.
come to his hospitable home; the pleas
ant conversation interspersed with
quaint stories and original ideas gath
cred during his checkered life, were al
ways ready to entertain those who
chanced to sojourn with him; his kindly
heart was ever ready to sympathize
with and succor the distressed.
And now he has left us we feel his
loss more deeply than our pen can ex-
press, sympathizing with his bereaved
family in THEN grear loss, and hoping
that God will protect and comfort them
and with His loving kindness watch
and guard their future life. j. A. f.

Brain Workers.

In this country nearly every active bus;-
ness or professional man is overworked, and
suffers from waste of vitality. Few reach
the age of forty-fire without this waste of
vital force showing itself in some form of
disease more or less troublesome or danger
Gus.
Now. unless something can be done to
renew the wasted vital force, these diseased
conditions must go on increasing until an
utter breakdown is the result. Many,
warned in time, retire from business or pro-
fessional life and seek in change and relaxa-
ton measure of the health which they
have lost. With much the larger number,
this retirement is felt to be impossible: and
they go oa suffering and failing uotil the
disastrous end comes in paralysis, softening
of the brain, or sudden death.
As a restorer of vital force, it has been
largely shown from the results obtained dur
ing the past twelve years, that Compound
Oxygen is the most efficient agent yet dis
covered by the medical profession. It's use
by overworked business and professional
men would save many hundreds of lives
every year, aud give to thousands more the
ability to work without the WEAKNESS, ex-
haustion and peril which now attend them.
