Mew England comprehends well that it
was owing to the Union formed by the
United States that we have be
come a great and mighty nation
instead of a mere oolleotion of individ
uals, I am sure that the older spirit of our
fathers still lives in ‘the sense of Mew

THE PRESIDENT.
I am afraid we are detaining tbe train
too long, but will detain it a moment
longer, to introduce another soldier and
adopted citizen, Gen. Carl Sohuiz, the
Secretary of the Interior.
GEN. SOHURZ.
My Fellow-Citizens: As the President
has been pleased to remark, I am repre
senting in tbe Cabinet that element of our
population that came from foreign lands
to share with you the blessings of liberty
. and to perpetuate with you the great
republio of the new world. Tbe President
has assigned to me a department which
a— |n some sense the care of tbe House
affairs of the people, the Department of
the Interior. I have to deal with the In
dians; I have to deal with tbe pnblio
lands, and with other questions relating
to tbe development of tbe industry of
country; I have to pay pensions as some
compensation to the soldiers who so
bravely stood in the front of the battle,
to defend our country and came borne
with the wounds on their bodies, and to
the widows who sacrificed their husbands
to preserve the integrity of the Bepnblic.
I have to do with the education of the
country, to whioh more than to anything
else the African people ojre their position
and I am happy to say that we now stand
light have radiated more than from any
other point of this great oountry
of ours, for upon the soil of
Mew England and in the great
men of Mew England these infiunoea origi
nated. To the President I am heartily
grateful for the hearty welcome given
him so early in the morning. I am glsd
to see that on this oeoasion, as on others,
the people of Massachusetts are le s early
now. I do not desire to longer detain
the train, though I should be very glad to
introduce to you the Secretary of State,
who wat the latest of us all this morning.

WAMIC1NK* AND TOPICS.
A RUSSIAN DARE-DEVIL,
Among the officers on the Grand Duka’s
staff is a tall, handsome ms* with a lithe,
slender, aotive figure, a olsar, blue ays, a
large, prominent, well shaped noee, and a
face young enough for a seooad lisa ten
ant. It ia Skobeleff, the youngest Gen
eral in the Russian army, the oonqneror
of Kbokand? He has the reputation,
even among the Huaaians, of being a mad
man who would fling away hit own life
and those of his troops without the slight
est regard for oousequenoes. During tbs
war whioh resulted in the conquest of
Khokand, a Russian dstaehment of 800
man, with 400 Cossaoks, was compelled
to retreat before a superior foroe of the
enemy. Gm. Trotsky deeidedupone
night attack, and oobOdea his plan to
Colonel Skobeleff, then his ohiet of staff.
The latter entered in the idea with great
enthusiasm, and proposed to lead the at
tacking oolnmn himself, and to take only
150 Cossaoks. Skobeleff, having reoon-
noitered the gronnd, perceived that tbe
Khokandians had enoamped within a
mile and a halt of the
Russians in an open plaip, whioh
gave every facility for the maneuvering
of oavalry. At iniduight he took his 150
Cossaoks, divided them into three parties
and oantionsly surrounded the euemy’s
camp. The party, led by Skobeleff him
self, managed to pass the enemy’s ont-
poats, who were fast asleep. Then be
gave the signal for the attsok by firing
bis pistol, and, followed by his >50 Cos-
Hacks, be rode headioug into tbe enemy’s
oaiup of 6,000 or* 7,000 mon, shouting
and yelling like fiends, and outting down
everything in their passage. For a quar
ter of an hour tbe plain resonuded with
shrieks and yellB, shots, the tramping of
horses, shouts and groans, and all the up
roar of battle. Then all was silenoe.
Skobeleff assembled bis Cossaoks, and
when morning came he fonnd that tbe
whole army of the enemy, 6,000 or 7,000
men, had disappeared, leaving on the
field abont forty dead, 2,000 or 2,000 mus
kets and sabres, all their eamp material
and baggage. But what was his aston-
. ishment on oalling the roll that he had not
,*| lost a man either killed or wounded. Mr.
MsoGahan, who first met him on the
banks of the Ozus, relates this exploit to
show how muoh method there ia ia this
dare-devil's madness.
THE SICK man's UNEASY THBONB.
A correspondent of the London Daily
Newt, at Constantinople, predicts that if
the present Turkish government oan main
tain itself it will make peaoe with Russia
as Boon as the people have been sufficient-
humbled by o-e or two oroshing Russian
viotories. The Russians will be oon-
tent with the aessiun of Batum, and of a
portion of Armenia, and with the free pas
sage of the Dardanelles, bnt they will be
ooutent with nothing less. If they are
very saooasBful and the Turks are very
muoh depressed, they may demand a large
portion of the Turkish iron-olad fleet. It
it probable that they will be moderate,
and equally probable that tbe Turks will
be yielding. It will suit Russia, who has
been striving to win Constantinople for
one hundred and fifty years, to advance
some ten or fifteen years nearer to the
fruition of her wishes. It will Buit the
peBent rulers of Turkey to get a fresh
lease of power, at no matter what sacri
fice. The diaoontent in the provinces, he
oontinues, is immense. The entire
provincial population is ready to demand
the dismissal of Redif Pasha, tbe War
Minister, and Mahmoud Damad, tbe Mar
shal of tho Palaoo. The Sultan knows
not whtrt to do with regard to these men.
He dares not dismiss them; be dares not
even aooept their resignation, lest
he should lead the popnlsoe to demand
still further concessions. On tbe other
hand, be dreads a popular outbreak,
which must be crushed with such cruelty
as would still further alienate from Tur
key the sympathy and support of the West
ern nations. The thoughts of the people
tnrn continually toward tha ex-BuItan
Murad. They know that if his health is
not absolutely restored it is greatly im
proved. The wildest rnmors are In oir-
onlafion as to the conduct of the present
Saltan, as to [bis legitimacy, whioh is
pnblioly questioned, and sb to his oapaoi-
ty. Murad was deposed solely for as
sumed inoapaoity. If be were to present
himself to tbe pnblio his deposition would
become a dead letter. ”

EX MADGE ELLIOTT.
Albert V. Melville: Sir—I received
your totter of eight pages and a half this
morning.
I oannot say that it muoh surprised me,
knowing, as I do, how extremely ecoen-
trio you are, nor oan I affirm that it did
not make me open my eyes—thoee eyes
yon have, in times gvue by, compand to
•U beautiful bine things under the sun—a
little, a very little.
From the first day yon avowed your love
for me, and I, aa I now perceive, foolishly
oonf assed to a growing tenderness for you,
I know you for c jealous, an unraaaouably
jealous man.
My oonain Arthur, you will remember,
nailed upon manhunt aahoarafter yen had
declared that I was yonr “life-star, and no
aloud oonld ever dim uy brightness," or
words to that etleot, and yet when Arthur,
according to his wont sinoe our childhood,
lightly touohed my cheek with bis lips at
parting, I saw yonr faoe grow dark, and
yonr eyes flash.
With his departure yonr smile came
baok again, and, after tnar, for a week or
two, yon were bo kind, tender and sunny
that I began to believe I had wronged
you in thinking you a slave to the green-
eyed monster.
Then you sulked, yes, snlked—there’s
no other word for it—the whole afternoon
at Netta Haro’s birthday pienio, because
Frauk Harn stole a rose from my belt and
pieced it in his button-hole.
It was not my fault that he stole the
rose, any more than it was my fault that
Eugene Rodman brought me a love song
that very same day, and entreated me to
learn it that I might sing it for him.
Sinoe then you have boon angry with,
and jealons of me, a hundred limeB, until,
at laat, mv patienoe is exhsaBted.
Albert Melville, a man who fears a ri
val has too poor an opinion of himself to
be manly.
In your obarming epistle you also up
braid me, as you have often upbraided
me before; beoanse I refuse an engage
ment ring from you, and will not promise
yon unconditionally that I will bs your
wife.
I told yon most decisively tbe day I
confessed to the growing tenderness, that
I would not betroth myself until my fath
er returned from abroad and gave his
oonsent.
From my babyhood, denied the oare
and affeotion of a mother, I have loved
my father above everything in the whole
world, and his two years’ absenoe in Eu
rope has not shaken that love in the
least.
He has always been to me the dearest
and the best, and should I not be the
rnoBt ungrateful ohiid a parent ever bad
if I promised to give myself to one whom
I have only known a short twelvemonths,
ere he had seen and approved of my
ohoiot?
That be would have approved I am
snre, for be looks at all things I love, the
darling, with my eyea.
As for yonr last soansation whioh forms
the principal part of your indignant letter
your f riend wat right.
I wat at tbe opera night before last, and
with a very handsome man, too. And he
wat very devoted and attentive, and I did
regard him with looks of approbation and
pleasure.
And, to speak frankly, Mr. Melville, I
see no reason wby, even though I hate
said, papa willing, I would marry you, I
should make a prisoner of myself and
shut myself out from all scenes of gayety
beoanse you are not here to hold my fan
and whisper nonsense to me.
I loved yon just as well—better per
haps; thought of you as tenderly—more
tenderly may be, while the sweet strains
of “Eroani’’ filled my ear and heart, as
thought I had remained alone in my room,
yonr piolnro in my hand and your last
love verses spread out upon the table be
fore me.
How dare yon, sir, take me thus to task?
You “think it better that we should part,”
forsooth ?
You “oannot trust your future to such
a fickle, pleasure-loving woman?” In
fsot, you are angry because the “star” re
fuses to be olouded when yon are not
near to see it shine!
'Twould be a pity to bind so loving, so
loyal, so trutting a nature as yours to so
inoonslant and light-headed a being as
you tay I am.
Yonr letters and yonr miniature await
your commands.
As for mine you may fling them into
tbe fire. They are useloss since you no
longer valne them.
And, perhaps, yonr old fiarae, Lina
Carrol, the demure, baby-faoed little
thiDg, will again take you into favor, al
though yon have strayed so long, and con
sole you for your great disappointment
in me.
She would stay at home, were you ab
sent, with half a dozen feminine and
maseuline friends to help her pass the
weary hours.
Boms particular masouline would help
her very muoh. And if ever you oould
find it in yonr heart to frown upon one no
fair and innooent, she would shed obild-
Iike tears of regret that she bad unwit.
tingly, of oourse, offended you and—
make faoes behind your baok.
“I know her tricks and her manners.”
We were school-girls together. She
would change her name for yours in spite
of father, mother, nodes, aunts and
oousins, and smile arohly, were he young
and handsome, at the olergyman who per
formed the marriage ceremony, and after
she heonme “Mrs. Albert Melville” she
would flirt boldly and openly and laugh
your reproaches to scorn.
But go to her. Such women as she
were created especially for tbe punish
meat of saob men as you.
As for me, entirely free onoe more, I'll
remain free—not forever ; ob ! no, de »rly
as I love—I mean have loved yon. I'll
wear no willow—but for soma happy
years to oome, and when I do marry, I
will marry a man who will trnst me any
where, under all circumatanoea, always
and forever 1 Josephine Villabs.

with at tbe opera. He returned from
England last Monday, and is as handsome
as ever, and looks almost as yonng as you
do.

lish girl of 19 years, Addie Margaret
Travnor. She is a blonde, of elegant
appearanoe, distinguished manners, and
excellent education. Last year abe lived
at the chateau of Bourigeole, the home of
one of tbe most prominent families in
that part of Franoe, the family of Les-
onre. Tbe present owner of the domain
is Madams de Lesonre, a widow, who had
living with her last year an only ohiid,
Henry, three years of sge. In Jnly,
1876, Madame de Lesonre sent to London
for Miss Traynor to teaob the little boy
English. Margaret soon acquired the en
tire confidence of her new mistress by
the ohsrm of her manners, her beanly,
and tbe perfeot propriety of her demean
or. The little boy bad, np to that time,
been a very healthy, robust ohiid, rather
precocious for his sge.
On July lllst, when Margaret had not
‘been as yet a full month with the family,
abont 4 o'olook in tbe afternoon, Henry
awoke from his afternoon nap complain
ing of burning thirst Ho was soon toss
ing on hia bed in agony, and began to
vomit. A violent fever seized him, and
he breathed hU last before midnight.
Immediately after tho boy's death,
Madame de Leaaure left the obatean and
went to the honse of her father, M. La-
perrine. She took with her hor securities
and some cases of jewelry, which she
plaoed in Margaret Trnynor’s valise. The
yonng governess seemed to be as incon
solable aH her mistress. .
One day in August, Madame do Les-
nure, on opening one of the jewel boxes
in whiob a costly Bet of diamouds should
have been, was surprised to find the box
empty. A suspicion flashed serosa her
mind; Margaret alone bed had tho jewel
boxes in her oharge. Bho returned to her
ohatesn to see if her diamonds were safe.
A magnifloent diamond brsoelet was miss,
ing. Madame de Lesoure thou remem-’
bored that tbe governess had asked to bo
allowed to return to England the duy af
ter little Henry's death. Hhe sent for
Margaret and aooused her of having sto
len the jewelry; bnt the latter, although
evidently troubled, did not cease to pro
test her innooenoe.
August 26 came, and on that day some
of the servants fonnd on a frequented
road, near tho obatean, a little' pnoknge
containing the missing diamonds. The
governess was sent for, and Madame de
Lesoure's father told her that it was use
less for her to deny tbe theft longer, oh
he had seen her place the paoket where
it was found. 8he threw herself at his
feet exolaiming, “Forgive me, it is the
first time I have ever done wrong.” Hhe
was arrested. She insisted that she had
never intended to keep the jewels, but
had taken them to wear while Hhe had her
photograph taken.
A new and terrible snspioion now oo-
ourred to Madame de Lesoure. “It this
yonng girl, so honest in appearanoe, was
a thief,might she not also be a poisoner?”
She turned to Margaret and cried: “You
wretob, you are capable of having pois
oned my poor Henry. Ah, if it is so, I
swear your head shall roll on the scaffold.”
The phyaician who had attended tlio
child, and who had attributed bis death
to oholera, was sent for, and it was decid
ed to have the body exhumed. Arsenio
and antimony were found in
the body. During the last illness of M.
de Lesoure, the boy’s father, he had been
treated with the “pills of Dr. Fapillard,”
containing both arsenio and antimony,
and s little bottle of these pills had been
left in a oloset to wbioh Margaret Tray
nor had had access. From the beginning
of tbe attaok to wbioh the little boy suc-
oumbed. Margaret had predioted a fatal
Issue to his illness. On the other hand,
what motive was there for suoh a crime.
The proaeoution maintained that proba
bly the governess had been detected by
tbe ohiid in tbe sot of taking the jewels,
and that she feared he would tell his
mother.
The trial was mostdrsmstio. Margaret
denied with indignation that hUo had
poisoned the child,and her counsel assert
ed that it waa a question whether arsenic
did not exist in a natural state in every
hnman body. At 3 o'clook in the morn-
ing the jury brought in a verdict of “Not
guilty.”
Tweed NuHIclontly l'unUlied.
Philadelphia Times.]
Tweed was the leader of the great mu
nicipal ring of robbers in Now York.
While in office he beoame possessed of
millions of the people’s money, for which
be gave nothing in return. Finally, de-
E osed, the authorities proceeded against
im by oivil aotions, and secured judg
ments in favor of the oity for $6,000,000.
The defendant could not pay this debt,
and it was shown that the cause of
his inability to disgorge was tho illegal
tranafer of muoh of his property. For
this he was put in jail, and he mnst re
main there, says the Attorney-General,
until he can liquidate. TbiH is tho only
kind of imprisonment for debt that is
allowed in New York, and, excopt that it
is a sort of protection in this instance
to tbe whole community, it wero better
off tbe statute books. Aftor a while
Mr. Tweed repents him of his bad
behavior, and says, “Let me
ont and I will pay over all tbe
money I can raise, and help you to get
the balauco due from other riugstors
equally guilty with me, and now rnneb
richer by reason of the immnuity they
enjoy." One of his follows iu villainy,
Sweeney, made a similar offor, and a
compromise was patched up, whereon lie
was released npou paying over $400,000,
only a tithe of his supposed pickings,
from tbe pnblio treasury; but Tweed's
offer is ruthlessly rejected. All of this
looks very muoh as if the authorities are
willing to get bold of all the available
cash while screening some of tbe offend
ers. They seem to prefer reimbursement
in part and immunity to tbe thieve',
rather than a jnst and equitable settli
ment, with coequal punishment for all tbe
wrong doors. Tweed has suffered severe
ly, if not enough, and there a e others
who ought lo be sharing the prison with
him, even if they were his subordinates in
rascality.
