MELVILLE, Aug. 80, 1S97.-On We'd
nesday, September 1, the oyster season in
South Jersey will open. Everything
points to a very successful season, as the
oysters are better in quality, in greater
numbers and higher in price.
For many years past the oystermen
have suffered heavy losses from the at
tacks of the ''borer," a worm which
bores through the shell Of the oyster.
rendering it UNBEATABLE. The majority OF
the beds have been devoid of this pest
this ~season~and the oystermen are cal
culating on the best season for the past
ten years. The beds tested show that
the oysters are much fatter than usual.
AS with the raise in wheat the. oysters,
although more plentiful, are higher in
price, bringing 25 cents more a thousand,
and from present indications the price
will continue such for some time. There
are 800 boats engaged in this industry,
and they employ close to 5000 persons.

Hrf0 uR Idea of Russian Soldiers.
All the wars that have been waged by
Russia against the Turks have, so far as
the soldiers of the Russian army were
concerned, had a religious inspiration.
The idea that the cross will again take
the place of the crescent on the summit
Of the dome of the great mosque Of st.
Sophia at Constantinople is firmly i'm
planted liz the mind of every Russian.
And Just as firmly he believes that it is
the mission of Russia to plant it there.
Every Russian regards it as the mani
fest destiny of his country, and though
the day when Russian hands will tear
away the crescent and substitute the
cross MAJ be delayed, he is convinced
that it is only a question of time when
the voice of the muezzin from the minar-
ct calling the faithful to prayer will be
heard for the last time. When the Rus
sian army. under the command of the
~GraGd-Duke Nicholas, the brother of the
Emperor Alexander H., arrived before
ConstantinopIe in the spring of 1878, he
sent two kilograms to st. Petersburg,
one reporting the. state of the army. the
other somewhat in the following language,
INV army is in sight of the minarets on
st. Sophia: we can take the city with loss
of 1000 men, TIC the first he received the
usual acknowledgment; to the second
there came no reply. It was by TINS UNI
derstocd that the Emperor did not
ton the enterprise, for it would have been
a breach of his pledge to Europe: In the
army there was great disappointment,
and more thar one of the Russian gem
erals. Skobeleff at their head. expressed
their anger so forcibly that the Russian
army was withdrawn, and put beyond the
reach of temptation. But the feeilng re-
