THE ATHENS GEORGIAN. JUNE 12, 1877.
Ardalian Recaptured.
TIIK TlltKH HACK 15 THKIII «U IIACS rs.
London, June 2.—A correspond
ent in Vienna states that the rejiortetl
recapture of Ardihau is believed in
that city. It was effected, it is
alleged, by the former garrison, who
had taken the road to Batonm, but
unexpectedly turned back and, taking
the Russians unaware, made a sudden
dash on the town and succeeded in
dislodging the Russians.
THE PENDING DANGER.
London, June 2.—A Times’ cor
respondent at Paris says: It is now
well known what the real difficulties
of the situation are. Russia can only
escape more threatening consequen
ces of her undertaking by promptly
and energetically limiting it. It is
evident that the day Servia takes
part in the war, or Roumanian troops
cross the -Danube, Austria will occu
py one or both principalities. Then
the real eastern question will com
mence. Certainly Russia is doing
her utmost to keep Servia beck. The
difficulty raised as to the command
of the Roumanian troops Is only
another effort to prevent the Rouma
nian army from crossing the Danube,
but Russia has no longer much influ
ence over the Servians, whom she
abandoned and humiliated. An early
explosion in Servia may therefore be
feared. The czar sees this. It is
said if he joins the army it will be to
arrest it after the first victory to
negotiate rapidly with the sultan,
and finish the war before it developes
these threatened complications.
London, June 1.—A dispatch
from Vienna says: “ One thing seems
pretty certain, that for one reason or
another, possibly for several, delay
has occurred in the Russian advance
in Asia. Possibly even, the necessi
ty of sending some of the reserve
troops from trans-Caucasus to secure
communication through the Caucasus
may have contributed to retard the
advance.
“Fortunately for Russia the Turks
seem scarcely in a position to take
advantage of this delay. All accounts
from the spot agree that, the condi
tion of their .forces is oven worse
than is generally believed. They
are considerably fewer than has been
assumed, and, with the exception of
arms, lack everything requisite for an
army in the field. There seems even
to bo hardly any reserve stock of
ammunition, especially for the artil
lery. It is impossible to expect that
all these shortcomings can be reme
died before the Russians push for
ward to Erzeronnt.”
The following has been received
from the headquarters of the army of
l he Caucasus, dated May 31:
“ A more pacific feeling is noticea
ble among the population of the
Kabcleti district (in front of Batoum).
The inhabitants are surrendering
their arms to the Rnasian authorities,
Heavy rains continue to impede oper
ations.
“A column of troops from the
Arno near Kars has been sent in a
southwesterly direction to watch the
movements of a Turkish force which
has appeared at Soghanli.
“ A fresh rising has occurred :n
the Terek district. The insurgents
were dispersed by the troops. One
body of 500 insurgents lost 80 killed
and 10° prisoners.”
A telegram from Eraerottm to-day
says the Russians are cannonading
Ivaradagh ami that the Turks are
replying. An important movement
is being carried out by the Ottoman
forces from Van. The Russian left
wing has made a fresh movement
upon Knra-Killissa and Toprak-Kaleh
A detachment of the Rnssiau right is
seriously threatening O’ti and Nan
man. Mukhtar Pasha is falling back
to Ivheohassau.
OPERATIONS ON THE DANUBE.
London, June. 2.—Tho Standard
lias the following despatches from
Constantinople: The fortifications
of Sofia, on whioh thousands of men
have been working for months, are
now complete and mounted with
Krupp guns. They are considered
v ery strong.
A lew days ago the commandera
of several- army corpsJ.reported to
the Grand Duke Nicholas that the
crossing of the Danube was necessary
in consequence of the sanitary condi
tion of the army. The highlands of
Bulgaria are much preferable to the
Roumanian swamps. The sick list of
the army is very large.
A heavy cannonade has been heard
at Sulina. It is rumored that a Rus
sian squadron has attempted to force
an entrance into the Sulina mouth of
the Danube in order to assist the
crossing of the troops.
It is said that the Czar is willing
to undertake chief command, ns the
Emperor William did in the Franco-
Geriuan war. The Danube will be
crossed the day after the Czar’s arri
val on its hanks, probably June 6.
Rumors of endeavors to bring about
a pacific arrangement before an im
portant battle has taken place deserve
little credit. They are certainly
propagated for the benefit of stock
jobbers.

meaner soul was never in a gates in the convention that we e not
native Georgians. Are the people
willing to live under such a constitu
tion, made by such a crowd as com
posed the convention of 18t>8? If
they are, wo arc deceived, but will
cheerfully submit to the will o the
people.—Griffin News-
John W. Sutton, a ’49er, lectured
before the Manhattan Liberal Club,
last evening, about California when
in the delirium of the gold fever.
Among the uncouth miners about
him, he said, were “ Big Ben” and
“Little Dick,” mates. “Big Ben”
was far above any man in the mining
region in stature—burly, and of won
derful strength, his favorite pass-time
being bending crowbars. “Little
Dick” was a curiosity for the stalwart
miners on account of his smallness;
and a
man weighing eighty pounds. “ Lit
tle Dick” was quarrelsome, but cow
ardly, and “ Big Ben”’ had to do the
hitting for him. So, although inof
fensive and naturally kind, “Big
Ben’’ got the reputation of a despe
rado.
In the mining, boulders too heavy
to l»e handled by a few men were
often encountered, and when they
were, the proprietors of adjacent
claims were invited to assist in re
moving them. — Big- Ben” was
never forgotten, and he did the work
of half a dozen sturdy men. But
after the Imulder had been moved
nearly fav enough, he commonly
thrust the crowbar well under tlio
boulder, and, pressing his shoulder
against the crowbar, bent it nearly
double. Finally, Jim Cook, the
blacksmith, vowed that hu wouid
weld a crowbar that “ Big Ben” could
not bend. He got up a ponderous
bar of cast steel from ’Frisco, and
welded it into a crowbar. That,
sure enough, “ Big Ben” could not
bend. The latter remembered this,
his first defeat, to his dying moment.
There came from the States, to re
cuperate, the Doctor’s wife and tiny
daughter, “ Birdie.” She became
very fond of ** Big Ben,” and he
worship|)cd her. Though he was
panning or cradling with a glimmer
of the, yellow specks at the bottom
brightening his eyes, he would go
when “ Birdie’’ said, “ Come, Ben, I
want some flowers, or pretty stones.”
For years afterward, the miners used
to say, between the puffs of their
evening pipes, that “ Big Ben” never
“ weakened” but once. It was in
front of a saloon. “Little Dick’’
was the aggressor, and pistols and
bowie-knives gleamed. “Birdie”
said, “Come, Ben, will* sne,” and,
catching her up in his arms, “ Big
Ben” walked away.
The mining catnp was by the side
of the bed of a dried up stream.
Across its high banks a single fallen
tree extended, the only connection
liefwecn the camp and the flowery
slope beyond the river. One after
noon, ns suddenly streams in tbat re
gion do return to their beds, a
mighty flood poured down the bed.
The miners saw “ Birdie” gathering
flowers on the opposite slope. “ Big
Ben,’’ returning with “Little Dick,”
saw her peril. He shouted, “ Dick,
go across and get the child, and I'll
hold the bridgo.” He put his crow
bar into a crevice beneath the tree,
and braced his massive shoulder
against it. “little Dick” darted
across the tree, about .which tho was

| From the New York Trib-.iu.-.] ,
The Enormous Consumption
of Postal Cards, j
Arrangements have been making
in town this week for closing the new
was contract for postal cards, awarded by
the Post-office Department to the
American Phototype Company of
New York. The quantity of paper
which will probably be consumed un
der this contract is larger than that,
used during the last four years. lie
Postmaster General’s report last De
cember showed a consumption o
cards for the previous year] amount
ing to 150,800,000. The rapid
growth in card correspondence leads
to the belief that the average con
sumption of the next four years may
be about 250.000,000. At any rate,
provision is making fot; a demand as
large :ls that, and a contract has been
made by the Phototype Company
with the house of Woolworth &
Graham, of this city, for a quantity
of paper sufficient to meet a con-
sumption of250,000,000 cards a year,
should it he as great as that. 8 q»
posing that there is no increase of
consumption during tho next four
years, the number the Government
will require will be 000,000,000.
Sell’itg for a cent apiece, the receipts
from sales will IK' 80.000,000. Their
cost to the Government, under the
the new contract, which is at much
lower rates than the last one, will bo
8417,240.
