its leading editorial, says the corres-
ondence between London and St.

ARMISTICE PROSPECTS DECREASING.
St. Petersburg, Junuary 8.—A
dispatch lo the Times says the ho|ie
of an armistice is rapidly disappear
ing. The strictest secrecy is main
tained as to the terms Russia would
propose. It is said even the Com-
mander-in-Chief is not yet instructed
on tills point.
Tlie Times' Vienna correspondent
telegraphs tlie following; It is an
nounced from Constantinople that the
Porte lias informed England of its
readiness to enter into negotiations
with Russia,but intimated that it did
not think negotiation between the
military commanders as proposed by
Russia suitable, a much preferable
method being negotiation through
special plenipotentiaries. There are,
however, formal difficulties in the
way of tills proposal.
ENGLAND’S MESSAGE TO RUSSIA.
Tlie Daily Telegraph's Vienna
special says, England has in
formed the Government of St. Peters
burg that she lias no objections in
principle to tlie conclusion of an ar
mistice in theniode proposed by Russia
but as regards the terms or peace no
new European programme must be
drawn up without the sanction of Her
Majesty’s Government.
ENGLAND.
The Money Market.
London, January s.—Tlie Times'
financial article says the rise of prices
at the close yesterduy was in conse
quence of the rumor that an armistice
hud been concluded. The details of
the story were of a very improbable
kind, but sufficient to frighten specu
lators for a full into repurchasing to
some extent; consequently all stocks
rose sharply. United States funds
continue firmer. Tlie alarm about
the Bland silver bill has for tlie time
being, to all appearances, quite sub
sided.
EARL or CARNAVON NOT RESIGNED.

necessary. Previously there were
ten Conservatives. In tho provision

TURKS STILL HOLD S1I1PKA PASS.
London, January 8.—An official
telegram from Slilpka, January 6th,
received at Constantinople stntes tlie

Tlie Times’ Buehnrest dispatch
says ice lias ceased moving in tlie
Danube. Tlie river is frozen over near

GREECE NOT DESIROUS OF WAR.
The Athens correspondent of tlie
Times states that tlie calling out of
the second class of reserve which is
just ordered, will raise the Greek
army to 35,000 men. The uncertainty
as to the intention of Great Britain
luralyzes the Greeks, but as long us
he present ministry remain in office,
it may be regarded ns certain tliut a
warlike policy will not be definitely
adopted.

ANT GENERAL.
London, January 8.—A special

gea2>h snys Barker Pasha, Valentine
Baker, formerly a colonel in tlie

CRY FOR MKDHAT PASIIA.
A dispatch from Constantinople to
the Standard says a cry is being
raised for the recall of Medliut Pasha.
ADVANTAGE OF SOPHIA.
The Times' Vienna correspondent
says the occupation of Sophia is of
great advantage to the Russians. It
gives them a base for o|>erations In
Roumelia, opens up the resources of
the country around, ami makes them
a certain extent independent of
ipplies from Roumania.
Despite of tho pressure from tlie
Paluce and threats of dissolution, tlie
House of Representatives have been
assailing the Government with great
freedom and bitterness. They proba
bly have the population of Stamboul
on their side, and it is doubtful
whether they would obey ,ths4ecrees
of dissolution even If the Government
ventured to take such a step.

Washington Special to the Chicago
The reports In circulation in Wash
ington during the past few days that
there had been a settlementofthe suit
of the widow Oliver against ex-Sena-
tor Hi mini Cameron for breach of
promise of marringe turn out to be
untrue. Tlie lawyers say that Mrs.
Oliver, who, it is reported is not a
widow at all,'never having been a
wife, came here in August, 1876, and
engaged Mr. Riddle to conduct her
case against Senator Simon Cameron,
She alleged that she had been deceiv
ed by the Senator. The ex-Senator
Said that Mrs. Oliver wns a terrible
annoyance to him; that tic had obtain
ed a place for her in tlie Treasury
Department, whicli she had lost bv
Indiscreet conduct, ami he was anxi
ous to get rid of her. He was will
ing lo give her money enough to get
out of t.lic town. He left with Mr.
Riddle u check for $500 witli tho
understanding that it should lie given
to Mrs. Oliver on condition that she
would leave town and cease to annoy
the ex-Scnator. The widow refused
to accept It, and demanded $5,000.
Finally, lie authorized Mr. Riddle
by letter to pay hcr$l,0001fshe would
let him alone. To tills at first she
refused to agree, but subsequently ac
ceded. Five hundred dollars was paid
down, und the rmaiuder she was to
receive in December provided Hlie
would sign a release of all claims
against Senator Cameron. Mr. Rid
dle is reported to have two receipts
signed by Mrs. Oliver, releasing
Mr. Cameron from all eluims then
existing or that might hereafter exist
growing out of their first association
and that these receipts are in proper
legal form. Mr. Riddle lias been re
tained by ex-Scnator Cameron, who
said tliut lie hud got him into tlie
scrape, and must help him out again.
The ex-Senator has also employed
Gen. Butler and Mr. Cook to defend

and Mandrake Pills.—These deserv

cines have effected a revolution in the
healing art, and provod the fallacy of
sovoral maxima which have for many
years obstructed the progress of medi
cal science. Tho false supposition that
“Consumption is incurable” deterred
physicians from attempting to find
remedies for that disease, and patients
afflicted with it reconciled themselves
to death without making an effort to
oscapo from a doom whicli tliov sup
posed to be unavoidable. It Is now
provod, however, that Consumption can
he cured, and that it ha* been cured in a
very great number of casos (some of
them apparently dosporate onos) by

in other cases by tho same modioine in

for her benuty, her wardrobe und the

was married on Monday lust to Mr.
Thomas Lord, one of the wealthiest
retired merchants of this city. The
marriage ceremony was performed
privately by Cardinal McCloskey, in
tlie Arcnicpiscopal residence on Mad-
son avenue. The fact of tlie marriage
was announced by advertisement in
the morning papers to-day, and
caused much excitement in* aristo-
eratic circles, and when the news
reaches London and Paris an equal
fiutteringwlll undoubtedly be created
among tlie aristocrats with whom
Mrs. 1 licks has lived for the past
three or four years.
New York, January S.~Two or
three days since Thomas Lord, one of
the wealthiest retired merchants in

supported by affidavits of the three
sons and tlie Janitor of one of their
father’s buildings. They all relate
instances of his lack of memory and
unfitness for business. The old gen
tleman owns between $900,(KM) and
$1,000,000 of improved reul estate and
.personal property worth $800,000, and

Mr. IN’hImmIj’* American DUh.
An HinusliiL'story is told, of which
il is averred that no less a personage
than tlie late George Peabody, the
celebrated American banker, was lire
hero. It appears that Mr. Peabody
had invited three Englishmen to
meet two Americans at dinner,
and oil this occasion, having received
as a gift ten ears of green corn, de
termined to renew the recollections of
his youth, astonish his English and
delight his American guests by hav
ing it served np in the well known
American style. Accordingly, at a
proper time, plates <if butter and salt
were placed before eaeli guest, and
tlie haulier, with something of an air
of mystery, announced that he was
about to treat his guests to a well-
known und delicious American dish
of food, cooked in the American man
ner. II would he no novelty to ids
American guests, lint, the English
men must watcli how it was disposed
of by them, and to follow their ex

Then, at a signal, entered a stntoly

Tlie feat performed yesterday at
Gilmore’s Garden, by Capt. A. H.
Bogardus, was one 'of uncommon
note, even for a wing shot who is en
titled to claim the championship of
tlie world. It brought into play both
phenomenal skill and marvelous en
durance; and although, ns a specta
cle, It was exceedingly monotonous,
it was yet interesting enough to keen
together a very considerable attend
ance in Gilmore’s Garden during the
eight hours that It lasted. The under
taking of Captain Bogardus was to
break 5,006 glass bails, sprung from
traps at eighteen yards rise, in 500
consecutive minutes. This would
give him eight hours and twenty
minutes to accomplish ills feat, thus
compelling him to maintain a regular
schedule rate of ten balls to tlie
minute. All misses and failures of
cartridges to explode (and these lat
ter were frequent) counted, of course,
against ills time. He began to shoot
at 2:40 p. m., thoroughly equipped
witli nil necessaries, and with a
competent staff to judge his perfor
mance and record Ills prowess. Mr.
Miles Johnson, of Newark, acted as
referee, Dr. Talbot pulled tlie string
tliut sprung the traps, Mr. Cook
cleaned the barrels of Captain Bognr-
dus’ gun, Mr. J. E. Whitley was
time-keeper, and the scorers were
Messrs. E. Plummer nnd T. C.
Banks. Captain Bognnhis had made
liis preparations carefully. He had
loaded Ids own cartridges, weighed
and measured tlie charges of shot and
powder, und laid taken all necessary
precautions to seen re accuracy and
uniformity of aim. He used a W.
C. Scott & Sons English double-
barreled gun. The stock was fitted
up with two pairs of hnrrels which
could he readily removed and re
adjusted, so tliut hardly any time
was lost when it became necessary to
clean and cool tlie Het in immediate
use. One barrel in each pair was of
10 and the other of 12 gauge, und tins
weight of tlie weupon witli either pair
adjusted was about 10 pounds. One
and a quarter ounces of No. K shot
was the ehnrge used for botli
the 10 ana 12 gauge bar
rels, but there was a difference
in tlie charge of powder and in its
quality. For tlie 12 gauge barrels the
charge was ,'U drachms of Dilniur
wood-powder, "while in tlie 10 gauge
barrels 4 drachms of wood-powder
were used. Tlie paper shells were
specially manufactured for Cupl. Bo-
gurdus by a Bridgeport company, and
although" a great many missed, lie
does not complain of tho shells on
tliut account. On the contrary, ho
says that they all snapped on being
used a sccond’tlme, and that tlie fault
lay in the pin of the gun, which had
been shortened by frequent use, a
circumstance which he did not ob
serve in time. Part of tho prepara
tions ior the shooting consisted lathe
erection of a large wooden screen to
receive tlie spent shot, and this wus
covered with white sheeting, so that
the'balls might be seen distinctly
against the bright back-ground. This
sheeting was speedily torn Into shreds
in tho two places where the shot was
received, and hud to ho renewed sev
eral times while the shooting was in
progress. Capt. Bogardus broke the
first 2,000 balls without taking any
rest or intermission, firing first ut the
hall sprung from the right bund trap,
which was not tossed scarcely so high
us the hall from tlie other. From the
time tlie shooting was begun until
tlie first 100 halls were broken tlie
record was one of almost monotonous
loudly cheered, hut it does not seem
that-thtTextent of the attendance will
furnish a sufficient monetary answer
to the cut bono querry concerning
breaking so much glass and wasting
so much powder.

IVpeet'lt of the Chinese.
“Chin chin” is a general salutation
and also means wish, ask or thank.
“Hong-kong side,” “down ride"
“look see,” ami “makee take care”
are exact Chinese expressions.
“Some man talkee” is just the French
on dif. Tlie vocabulary consists of
words from tlie English, Chinese,
Portuguese, Hindostanee and other
languages, and most of them are al
tered to suit native disabilities.
“B’long”—is or are—is exactly the
Bpanish rer, expressing quality or
characteristic; while* “har> got” is
precisely ertar, denoting position
or circumstances. For instance:
“Thev say, “You belong welly good
man;” “That h'long number one
good tea:,’ “He b'tong Englishee-
man, mi b'fong Gliinainaiy’ but
“Master Intb got ofilcee side,” or
“That siiippo nab got Hong Koug
side.” A visitor calling on a lady
asks, “That mississee hub got?” and
the reply is, “flab got” or “A T o hub
got." “What thing?” and “Who
man?” are said for what and who.
Thus “What Is that?” bncomes “That
b’long wlmt thing?” and “Who is
“That b’long who man?” “Large
chancre—chance—” meaning great
success or good fortune is very com
mon. In calling on ids ‘foreign
friends on China New Year’s day,
the native merchant always wishes
him this for the year to come. The
uni is always “he,” not
probably from the
Spanish nor war gun—meaning
“never mind,” “no mutter about,”
or “in spite of” is very much used.
“Maskee sendee that money to-day.”
“Ml go walkee, maskee that colo
—cold,” “Man-man” is “stop.”
“Chit” —from Hindostanee—is “let
ter.” “Fo-iang-say” is “French”
and “Jambola,” German. “Halm”
of course is “know” or “understand.”
The Chinaman who was asked why
he had eyes on tlie bows of his boat,
said: “S’pose got eve, can see.
H’pose can see, can sane. S’pose no
can see, how can sube?” This langu
age certainly admits of extremely
epigrummutie expression. The be-
g inning of Hamlet's soliloquy, “To
e or not to be,” was deliciously
translated into “(.’an? No can?”
The well-known version of “My
name is Norval” is altogether excel
lent, That of “Excelsior,” though
very funny, is not quite so correct,
except in the rendering of the title
worn as “Topside Galah!”—“Galah”
being an untranslatable expletive
personal pronnut
“she” or “it,”-
perhaps “I say,” or “Mind you.’*
“Pidgin” itself is most useful, and
has various shades of meaning. Re
ligion is “Joss pidgin.” “That/ecsi—
phislc—,” sale! a boy to whom his
master had given quininie, “largee
sabe that tick pidgin—thoroughly un
derstands illnes.” A gentleman saw
his boy trying to mount a pony, and
several times thrown. Seeing his
master looking ut him the bov said;
“Mi wantchee go top side lie; he
fate. Ho was cured by tho aforesaid
medicines, and, since his reoovory,
many thousands similarly affected have

success.
The first miss was made on tho
twenty-sixth ball, and again there
was a long record of successes. The
first one hundred bails were broken
in Cm. 10s. Without pause the mo- J
notonous banging of tlie ^un went
on, the broken glass fell in fragments
and the second 100 were broken in
3ni. Oh. When 800 had been broken,
Gm. 35s. more iiud elapsed, und tlie
fourtli ami fifth hundred were broken
in Gin. 40s. and Gm. 25s. respectively.
Fivebundred balls were thushroken In
81m. 40s. The records for the sixth,
seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth
hundred** were as follows: 5m. 35a.,
7m. 35s., Gm. 60s., Gm. 45s., und 6m.
15s., thus bringing the time consum
ed in tli<» breaking of the first 1,000
balls, up to G4ni. 40a. Cunt. Bogardus
followed up witli tlie following time
for the next 500 : Gm. 40s., Gm. 50s.,
7m. 10s., 8m. 00s., Gm. 60s., being
100m. 10s. for 1,500 halls. Then*
was no perceptible falling off
in the next 500, liis time for
each 100 being respectively 7m. 4Gs.,
Gm. 49s., 7m. 35s., 7m. 20s., ami 7m.
30s., or 187m. 10s. for 2,(hm» balls. His
schedule gave him 100 minutes to
each 1,000 balls, and so in* was now
overall hour ahead of time, thus
giving him a largo margin to rest,
lie availed himself of this advantage
by resting for 47m. 15s. He began
firing nt the third 1,000 at 5:46:15, and
made the following time on each 100 :
5m. 25b., Gm. 45s., Gm. 20s., Gm. 45s.,
Gm. 15s., 7m. 20s., Gm. 15s., 8m. 50s.,
Gm. 50s., 7m. 20s. This brought tlie
time expended in breaking 3,000 hulls
un to203m. Iok., leaving a large mar
gin to the champion wing shot. He
took a rest; accordingly, of 20m. 15s.,
and resumed once more at 7:14:13.
The record was not now so good, the
minimum for 100 shots in the next
1,000 being Gm. 25s. and the maximum
9m. 25s. At the maximum point,
obliged |
to delay for some time to have his j
right arm,which had begun to cramp, ,
rubbed with a mixture of arnica and \
brandy. He completed the 4,000 in
288m. 35s., at 0:67:30, and after an
intermission of 4m. 40s., went to work
again.
The shooting during the last 1.000
was not so good, for Capt. Bogardus’
right hand was very sore by reason
of the frequent application to the
trigger, and tlie cramp in his arm was
more persistent ami anuoying. He
was therefore, often retarded in order
to apply the lotion. The last 300
shots, or rather tho shots necessary to
break the last 300 balls, be',fired from
a sitting position. The spectators
had by tills time gathered closely
around, and the applause which
greeted liis skill was neartv and fre
quent. He broke the last 100 balls In
10m. 5s. accomplishing the task
which he had set himself with 19m.
25s. to spare. His misses were
estimated by the scorers at 183. The
accomplishment of this great feat of
•kill and endurance was, of course,
