DINNER IN 81COBELEFF'S TENT.  A warm fire burning gaily in General Slcobeleffs mud but, a glass of vodka, and some hot soup at once thawed out our benumbed hands and feet, and we were soon enjoying a hot dinner, with the appetites of men who had been in the saddle since daylight, with not a morsel to eat. Tefik Bey seemed much depressed and downcast. He spoke little, and was at first almost as taciturn as he had been on the bridge. He brightened up, however, as the meal progressed, drank a glass of red wine, a glass of sherry, and a couple of glasses of champagne, when General Skobeleft proposed the health of Oman Ghszi, and drank to the brave defenders of Pima. A merry smile broke over his face when Skobeleff asked him who bad commanded the Turks on the Green Hill, and I think it must have occurred to him now for the first time that his entertainer was Skobeleff the indefatigable, restteas, daring spirit with whom he had exchanged so many hard blows on the Loftcha road and Green Hill. Nobody had mentioned Skobeleffs name in his presence, nor had Skobeleff told him who he was, but the fact that we had come out of the Lofteka road, together with Skobeleff's question about the Green Hill, was quite mon& to enlighten him. So he said, with a smile. " Ah, it is you who gave such tough work on the Green Hill all this time. You are General Skobeleff." Skobeleff laughed, and said, "Yes." "That was a very good attack of yours that evening in the fog and darkness. Very well done. But you did not get it all." "No,' said Skobeleff, "I did not want it all." And they both laughed. But after this momentary fit of sunshine, Tefik Bey soon again relapsed into melancholy and gloom. It was partly the despondency and minims natural under the circumstances, partly the reaction on the extreme excitement and tension of nerves during the last few days when preparing for the sortie, and partly extreme lassitude and fatigue. We had hardly swallowed our coffee when Skobeleff, taking pity on him, turned us all out, gave up his bed to Tefik, had another hastily made up for Colonel Gaillard, and then retired and passed the night in a hut of one of his officers; and so ended this eventful day on our side of Plevna.  I PARRICIDE THROUGH DRlNX.—Shortly after midnight on Saturday a shocking murder was cornmisted in the lower part of Liverpool. A dock labourer, named Hugh Lennon, quarrelled with his wife, with whom he bad been drinking all night. In the course of the row be called her foul names, which caused their son, a youth 18 years old, who was also inflamed with liquor, to take up a knife and stab the father in the left breast, killing him on the spot. When taken into custody the lad wanted to know "whether he would be hanged for what he had done. CHARGE Or ABDUCTlON,—Frederiek Hoekwell, 19, was examined at the Southwark Police. court, on the charge of abducting a girl, under 15 years of age, from her father's home without his consent.
