I 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. “ Birdie,*’ and ran; and as ho darted across it and sprang to the shore,- the tree whirled down the current, and “ Big Ben’’ fell prostrate.

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 ters were rising fast, snatched up Made Our Present Constitution.

PILLS Tl’TT’i | 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. ■rf-T-r'ayear- Dviiwiii'trntor of Anatomy in iir-r i -j the M«-llca! t'olU-SP or«it*«r(fln. ntI , , JJ-TI S Tlilrtv years’t-xiH-rli-ni-.'
