"TOO Much Turkey"

In conversation with Mr.. T. o. Car
pcntcr, reported in the Chicago Times
Herald, Mrs. Grant relates one Of Bis
marck's grim witticisms. The general
and Mrs. Grant, while ut Berlin, were
shown by Bismarck the war chamber,
where the commission to settle tho
terms of the Russo Turkish peace was
then sitting. Said Mrs. Grant:
The chamber was empty at the time,
and he pointed out the chairs i'll which
the different commissioners sat, show
ing mo his chair, that of Beaconsfield
and others. AS he did so L asked him
what it was all for, and no looked ut
me evidently very much surprised at
my apparent Ignorance.
L FASTENED to answer that | knew that
it WAS to settle the terms of the war be-
tween the Russians and the Turks, but
could not sec what the Germans had
to do with it.
Prince Bismarck Strengthened him
self up His face ut first was quite So
Der, but his mouth soon softencd into "a
smile, and he replied, ITO tell you tho
truth, madam, Russia has taken too
much Turkey, and we arc helping her
to digest it. "

A Prediction.
'Within 80 days after the future of Cuba

blossom like II rose. We need some such

Nevada is the victim of circum-

in the capacity to support a social struc-

of declining population in western

RIGA, the nations of Europe would plot
and struggle for possession of her min.
erals, lands and waters; if in New
South Wales, the colonial government
would employ the public capital to re-
claim her deserts and to enable the sur

homes upon her soil; if in Germany,

needy men from beggary to tenantry,

When they came it was with formal

But Lord Roberts met them in undress

hand, as though it were an informal re-
ception.
After a very nice repast he said: Gen

At this the field marshal broke down
and the gentlemen of his guard showed
emotion. The guests, too. were moist

later 1t was with a cordial haudshake
and the assurance that all would be quiet
during the rest Of the campaign.

Smith rode Off end took his place with the
body of horsemen called the escolta. This
was the commander-in-chlef's bodyguard,
consisting of seventy men, armed with
carbines and fairly we'll dressed, although
no particular uniform was observed
These men formed line in double rank,
facing the generals headquarters on the
right. on the left Of the escolta an
other line Of armed men formed, and I
learned that this body constituted a regi-
ment bearing the name Victoria. Many
OF these men we're in undress Uniform

and, although bearing the formidable

just sixty horse.
In the rear Of these two bodies Of armed
horsemen there formed another and much

arms; and in the absence OF an abundant
supply Of soap and water, II would be

soft, narrow brim. gray felt hat with q
l0-cent Cuban coat-of-arms pinned on the
front of II. A pair of tan-colored boots
covered his black trousers halfway up the
leg, and a dark-colored blouse completed
his attire. He was surrounded by his
stan, a dozen or more well-dressed and
Misunderstanding men. And this was the
whole outfit, 1870 armed men, besides the
stan and impedimenta, constituting the
nbcra ting army which Weyler had been
pursuing for some months past, ostensibly
with 5000 Spanish soldiers.
