ish armor-clad vessels In the Danube.
His first expedition with torpedo boat,
although Ii placed him at once among
the bravest officers In the Russian navy,
was unfortunate. Before the Russ an
army had crossed the Danube number
of naval officers were despatched to
place turpedoes to prevent the Turkish
men-of-war from approaching the place
where General Dragomiron was with
the main force. SkrydlOil, then young
Lieutenant, was ordered to 20 with
torpedo boat against n Turkish arlnor-
clad ship Ne soon M the latter should
open fire Gu the Russlans. A Russian
painter, Vastly NertstChagin. accom-
panied him because he wanted to see
The Iurkish ship blown up. The
Turks, however, were not bllnd,
and they welcomed the Russians
with shower of shells and bullets. Al.
though Skrydlon's boat was riddled
with bullets and was leaking. yet u
continued to approach the huge Turkish
vessel. II was within few yards IRON
the vessel when the Lieutenant ordered
IL back, for he saw that both electrical
conductors had been cut by Turkish
bullets. and that, therefore. the torpedo
could not be exploded. SkrydlOii sue
ceeded in making his escape, although
every man on the boat WAS wounded.
Both Of his own legs were shot through
with bullets. Nerrstchagin got a bullet
In his thigh. The boat was kept from
sinking with great difficulty. The
wounded men bailed out the water with
their caps. For his gallant conduct
Skrydlon was promoted, but II was
many months before he could take part
In the war.

Take a Tuck In II,

The Providence (R. H. Erening Mail
continues to pay its respects to the
Journal of that city, and declares that
the Dispatch is not the only paper that
has observed the pettiSh disposition of
the Journal. 1t also says:
1.-The Richmond (Vs.) Dispatch thinks
that the Mail has carried its criticism
of the Journals mendacity on the sub
iect Of the franchise North and South
little too far for the peculiar temper
Of the Journal, and it is afraid that the
esteemed Journal might, in one Of its
pets, break its telescope, which is so
long that it Tops over Rhode Island,
and only the defects, or imagined de-
fccts, in the political policy Of other
States can be seen through it,
The Mail gives an explanation Of the
Journals inability to see Rhode Island
as others see the State that we had
not thought of. The Journal would
better take tuck in its telescope.

Not Very Consollng.

Every now and then the organs
break out into loud lamentations over
the solid South, which political con-
dition they would have the public
believe is an evidence Of southern
disIoyalty they would like to see
obliterated at any cost to themselves.
In noticing a recent wall Of this
character from 8 western organ the
Boston Herald says:
"The Southis solid for the Democratic
party, not for any Interior object which
that portion Of the Union has in con-
nection with the Federal Government,
but as measure Of self-protection
against the rule of ignorant negroes and
selfish adveniurers. A solid negro
vote, controlled by Republican schemers
for their own selfish purposes, CONSOLE
dated the intelligence, the public spirit,
and the property interests Of the South
in the Democratic party to overthrow
the travesties upon local government
which existed there during the carpet
bag era"
Exactly. But the Herald does not
stop there. Having undertaken to en-
tighten the organs, it seems determined
to make complete job. 1t adds:
"What was consolidated for self
preservation has remained solid for
self.pro;ectiOn. And it may be set
down as certain, in view of the history
of the past twelve years, that just
so long as there is any danger,
even remote, Of restoration of
Republican rule through q solid
negro vote, just so long will
the white men Of the South hold the
political power Of that section firmly
against the Republican party. And as
we have before remarked, if the latter
party could not control the elections
and divide the South when in full pos
session Of the Government. it is the
height of folly and the depth Of political
stupidity TO attempt " rally the old
forces, under tie old war cries, with
the Administration and the House Sc
curely in the hands of the Democrats. :"
The HerdldS words are words of
soberness and truth, but it cannot be
said that they contain much consolation
for the organs.
