FIGHTING SCOTCHMEN.

The Morskoi Spornik, the monthly
journal OF the Russian ministry OF marine,
has commenced publishing the history of
the Russian fleet under the administration
of Admiral Greig. This is the famous
Scotch admiral who developed and COM
manded the fleet of which Gibbon wrote
in his history, 'ssailed from the Baltic, cir
eumnavigated the continent of Europe, en-
tered the Mediterranean by the Straits of
Gibralter, and carried terror to the gates
of Constantinople. The fleet consisted
of two sQuadrons, the first composed of ten
line ot-battle ships, four frigates, and a
number of transports, aud the second of
five line-of-battle ships and two frigates.
Aided by Admirable Elphinstone, Lieu
tenant Dugdale, and a number of other
Scotch officers, Greig completely destroy
ed the Turkish fleet in the Bay of Tchesme,
July ), 1870 and afterwards remained a
year triumphant in Turkish waters. At
the close Of his operations his tleet consis-
ted of sixteen line of-battle ships, twenty
three frigafes, three gal.iots, nine polacres,
nineteen xebecs, nine brigantines, and
sixteen sloops; in all, ninety-fiye sail. 1t
would be rather difficult for Russia to make
such demonstration nowadays.
Russell Sturges was a poor Boston boy
and became ten-milionair in London
through his connection with the famous
banking house Of Barring Bros. He al
ways attributed his success in life to the
fact that he got on the wrong steamer by
mistake, and was thus led TO make the
acquaintance of the firm in which he made
his money.
The Rev. S. F. Smith, who composed
Ny Country, 'Tis of Thee, ]" is venera-
Bile gentleman of seyenty-tive years. He
has just returned from tour around the
world with his wife. The song which has
made him famous was written more than
fifty years ago, and though he has written
many other songs and hymns, none will be
remembered as 'smy Country
II. B. Gowen says that the patience with
which the American people submit to In
jury and outrage is wonderful. Herbert
Spencer also bore witness that as Il nation
we take without protest bad laws, or tough
chops, or criminal carelessness.

Wealthy Mouse:
BILE

Several moptls ago fady residing on
Beacon street took off number of rings
from her fingers, and laid them upon her
dressing table. After washing her hands
she returned to the room to replace her
rings, when, to her astonishment, one of
them, a diamond ring, was missing. She
was certai2 that she took the ring from her
finger. and equally certain that no one
could have entered the room without her
knowledge during the five minutes she had
been in the bath room. A most rigid
search was instituted, but the missing
ring, valued at 5000, was not found. A
few weeks since tho lady WAS much an
noyed by mice. Almost nightly they held
their reyels. They not only destroyed her
sleep, but choice laces were mnlllated.
The lady procured a trap, one Of the old
fashioned kind, and, having baited 1t with
a tempting bit Of cheese. placed it near the
scene of depredations. On the following
morning she had three fine, silky mice of
various sizes. One of them was so Decu-
liarly constructed that it attracted her at
tention, as it appeared to hayea string tied
around its body. The servant girl was in
structed to drown the captiyes and reset
the trap, and she was about to throw the
dead mice into the dirt barrel when her
eye was attracted by Il sparkle from what
proved to be the lost diamond ring, which
was not perceptible when the mouse was
alive, but which came to light after the Sc
we're soaking which the mouse received.
It is supposed that in his haste to get away
he ran his head through the ring, and sub
sequent struggles only forced it over his
fore legs, where it remained. Boston
