TURKISH soldiers have plundered the vii
lage of Bonita, in Crete. They wrecked
four churches, trampled upon the crosses
and images therein, opened tombs and scat
tered the bones of the dead. The British
consul personally attests to the truth Of the
foregoing.
The British admiralty has decided to
send two more warships to Halifax, N. S.,
both fine specimens of naval architecture
and well armed They are the " Torbot T"
and " Indefectable." The former is 5000
tons and the latter 5000 tons. 1t is stated
that the admiral will still further strengthen
the North American squadron by adding
two or three more powerful cruisers.
The friends of General Bradley johnson,
who has been in Cuba for several weeks,
are becoming very uneasy regarding his
fate. He left Havana last Sunday week for
Matanzas, expecting to return in few
days. The train was derailed and literally
blown up by a dynamite explosion perpe-
urated by the insurgents, and no trace Of
General johnson has been discovered since
that time.
No fighting has occurred in Cuba since
the battle at Najasa. Nothing definite is
known of the movements of the rebels un-
der Maceo in the province of Pinar del Rio.
A meeting of the board of health of Havana
has been called to take measures to prevent
the spread of infectious diseases. Surgeon
General Losada left last Thursday for Ma
tanzas for the purpose of studying means to
check the yellow fever in that city.
A SHOCK of earthquake, accompanied by
a tidal wave, did great damage last week in
the northern part of Japan. The entire
town of Kamaishi was destroyed and 200
persons killed. Later advices state that it
is estimated that 10000 people were
drowned. This wave was accompanied by
a succession OF frightful earthquakes, last
ing about twenty hours. In addition to the
town of Kumaishi, which was wholly de.
stroyed, many other coast towns have been
washed away entirely or in part
The British steamer " Drummond CASTLE"
from Cape Town to London, collided last
Wednesday night with an unknown steamer
and sank three minutes later with 144 pas
sengers and 1903 officers and crew on board.
Two men were picked up, floating on some
wreckage by fishermen off Ushant, near
which point the steamer went down. 1t Is
hoped, however, that some of the passen-
gers and crew escaped in the boats. The
" Drummond Castle" belonged to the IA
nous Castle Line of steamships, running
between South Africa and London. She
was of about 1850 tons. register and was
last heard of at Las Palmas, Canary Islands,
June ~. The cause of the disaster is I'M
known, but it is believed to have been due
to the lights of the unknown steamer hav-
ing been misread or not discerned by the
officers of the watch on board the Castle
liner. So sudden was the collapse of the
"Drummond Castle" that not boat could
be lowered

The Young Soldiers.

They saved the nation. The men
who wore the blue risked their lives
for the country. They performed
deeds OF valor, many of which have
been recorded. Think what their SER
vice means. Take the Eighth Illinois
infantry, for example. They lost 706
men in killed, wounded and died. One
hundred and sixty-si men in this
single regiment were shot dead upon
the field of honor. One hundred and
fifty-fve died and were hastily placed
in the rude soldier graves. They were
the flower of the young men of the
country. They were the college boys,
the young fellows in business, the boys
from the farm. They left brothers and
sisters, fathers and mothers, wives and
sweethearts, to go down to swift and
terrible death. They were not old
soldiers " or old coffee coolers then.
They were the best and most enthusi-
astic young men in all the country
round. They left good homes and good
prospects. They sacrificed society,
business, pleasure and the splendid joys
of homeland, at last, they completed
this line of sacrifices with their lives.
Among these 166 there was young
man named Broyhill. He was wounded
at one of the battles in Mississippi.
He was granted furlough and went
home to Illinois. AS soon as he was
recovered he married beautiful girl
who had been waiting for his return.
Then he returned to his regiment. He
rejoined them on the 22d day of May,
| 1868, as they were going out of camp
to make the world.renowned assault
upon the works at Vicksburg. His
comrades greeted him; he took his
place in the ranks and marched out
under that fatal fire. All day long the
battle ragged. Until night there were
| whistling bullets and shrieking shells
searching for victims. The knobs and
| hills were covered with the dead and
dying Broyhill was brave man. He
sang as they went up from the valley to
the top of the last hill before the great
Confederate stronghold. He was sing
ing a song that perhaps he and the
sweet girl at home had sung together.
He was thinking of her, no doubt,
thinking of the happiness to be when
the fearful war should at last be over.
And 80 he went up the hill, singing.
| What has become of the girl wife at
home the relator of this story knows
not. But from the afternoon OF that
22d day of May she was widow-al-
though she knew it not until the news
came to her from Vicksburg. Perhaps
she is widow still, that was more than
thirty-three years ago, and the bloom
of youth has faded from her cheek.
Perhaps she is pensioner-a war
widow-sneered at by the New York
Times and Colonel Waring kind. But
what can the government do for her?
What can any one on this earth do for
her? This is a question which the
wives may consider. What recompense
or hope of gain could compensate for
the pain and sorrow which came to

SOLDIERS BUDGET.
Abraham Lincoln a Genuine
American,

Lincoln was not only the first of
Americans, but also one of the truest
type. Shrewd, alert, droll, humorous,
active and industrious, he was always
doing something useful. Genial, an
interesting talker, debater and story
teller, his presence was always well
come. Born, and a boy for seven
years in slave state, with his develop
ment in later years in the North, he
became a Yankee Southerner. His ca
reer has demonstrated that masterful
ability in such combination has pro-
duced the grandest in character. Care
less of personal adornment, his rugged
industry wrought out wonderful re-
suits. Never ashamed of having been
poor and lowly, he had always the
warmest sympathy and aid for such.
To-day his neveI-silent life extends to
every boy hand to lift him upward,
and whispers to every girl, Courage"
Never proud or naughty, his person or
deeds have no repelling features. In
tensely earnest, he allowed no cessa-
ton in labor for the good of others.
Brave, he knew no fear except of doing
wrong. For doing his duty, as God
showed him what was right, nothing
could deter his complete devotion in
heart and effort. Patient, often sad
and sorrowful, weighed down by the
nations woe; hopeful while helpful,
his constant courage was tonic of
strength. His sympathetic soul, full
of love for humanity, enriched to the
utmost life that will be forever a
growing power and blessing to the
human race.-Pioneer Press.

He CAUGHT AT A STRAW.
And Found a BuIwark of
Strength and Safety.

G. b. Downs, of the freight depart
ment of the Boston IL Maine Railroad
at Portsmouth, knows what it is to
suffer from hunger with food within
reach, which he could eat, but not
digest. He lives at 80 Daniel Street,
and tells his experience in the follow
ing words:-
When | was II years old / began to
be troubled with Indigestion, which

better, until found it hard to keep

did not get much sympathy.

things, but they all failed to cure me,
and like a drowning man l was ready
to catch at any straw offering the
least hope of rescue. Then l tried
Puritana and was not only relieved by
it from the pain, but in a short time

The boiler of the pleasure steamer " Ho-
nitus Sheared exploded last Thursday,
while the boat was carrying passengers
from Little Falls, N Y, to the bicycle races
at Taylor Park Eighteen passengers were
on board at the time. Ten of the passsen-
gers-nine men and one woman-were
either killed instantly or died soon after
they were taken from the wreck. Two were
probably fatally injured and four are suffer-
ing from severe injuries. Two passengers
are missing. The explosion occurred just
as the engineer shut off steam at Taylor
Park landing. All the dead and injured
are from Little Falls

with failure after failure until there
seemed to be no hope left. At last 1
was persuaded to give Puritana trial.
The result was marvellous. 1t not
only relieved me, but it made me
perfectly well. Instead of being
doubled up with pain, Puritana has
given me a stomach like an ostrich,
that will digest almost anything.
There is nothing too strong for me to
say in favor of Puritana.
