COLUMBUS, GA.. TUESDAY MORNING,IMAY 1, 1877.
The Turkish army of the Danube
has been reinforced by 40,000 Circas
sians from Sofia.
It is officially announced that the
Khedive will support Turkey with
men and material.
Bourke announced in the House of
Commons his belief that the Egyp
tians (?) are on the Danube.
The Russians advanced their siege
train and attacked the Turks at Kars
(in Asia.) The battle commenced
Sunday.
A Vienna correspondent of the
Times says; “The left wing of the
Russians, which has crossed at Bel
grade in the South, and is taking up
positions from Galatz downward, will
form the pivot on which the rest of
the army from the North will wheel,
changing its position, which has been
aloug the Moldavian frontier, to the
Danube—that is, southward. Two
roads through Moldavia are availa
ble for this movement. The troops
who crossed at Husch and Faltz will
doubtless use the road, which is par
tially converted into a highway, run
ning from Jaasay, via Vaslui, to Ber
lat, where it brauces off on one side
to Galatz, and on tho other to Foks
ctiaoi, Rnnnik, Buso and Bucharest.
The right wing, aud, no doubt, al
most all the lighter war material,
will go from Jassay westward to the
Valley of tho Seretb, along which a
railway and a good highroad run
down to Fokschaui.
“Although, following the railway
and these two highroads through
Moldavia, the march of a Russian
center and right wing to the Danube
will be much facilitated, it must be
some weeks before they can be
brought to take up positions iu line
with the left wing, and especially be
fore all the material can be brought
up, as it must be before a serious ad
vance can he attempted across the
Danube. This would not, of course,
prevent operations on the part of the
Russians to establish themselves on
some point on the right bank of the
Danube.
“The most likely point for such a
preliminary step would seem to be
the bend of the Danubo around the
Dobrudaka. This part of the Dan
ube has not been included by the
Turks in their line of defense, as ly
ing too much out of the way, so that
little or no care hus been bestowed
on strengthing Hirsova, Matchin, Is
saktoh and Gulcha. Suddenly, how
ever, the original plan seems to have
again been changed. Troops and
guns have been sent and new in
trenchments erected, but it may be
doubted whether they are in a state
to make a vigorous defense, unless,
indeed, the Turks have found a man
who will show the Russians what
may be done with a flotilla on the
river. Russian engineers have ar
rived at Turnseverin. The supposi
tion is that they intend bringing over
from Timok the remaining portion
of the Russian volunteers, and use
them in the first instance against the
Turks should they cross.”

Rlalne and Event*.
James G. Blaine, growing bolder a* Mr.
Caldwell postpones his return or appearance,
has advanced to the center of New York and
planted his standard at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel. This daring uct reminds me of Jack
Straw, the rioter, advancing to Smithfield,
in the heart of London; for Blaine is a man
of straw and Caldwell is straw hail for him.
The concentrated attempts to make Blaine a
mysterious power in politics remind me of
Sairey Uamp's labor to prove all things by
the invisible Mrs. Harris. “Blaine’s a doing
of it,’’ says Mr. Whisper, “He’s a great man,
is Blaine." Yes! He goes about in the aban
doned dignities of old Colfax, and, having
broken down the military dominance of the
Carpet-baggers, now wants to appear to de
sire to re-establish them. The Force Bill was
the act which Grant recommended in the
interests of the States ol Mississippi, Arkan
sas, Louisiana and Alabama. It was a des
potic (fToposition, But Grant bluntly advan
ced it. Jim Blaine, dodging for a position,
joined Sam Randall and beat it. That gave
him all the respectable consideration he ever
had in general polity. The force Bill was
an open and bold measure to legalize by
Congress the use of the army to save the
Republican party and the black majority in
the South. It was a request for power, be
yond all dispute, by Psesident Grant. He
had the nerve, if they dared give him the
power, to sit down on four States and play
euchre on either one of them, properly rever
sed. There spoke out the mistaken but sin*
cere man of arms. ‘ Give me your author
ity!" he said. “I recommend you to give
me your authority to support the black-and
tan )iower in the South! I take alt the odi
um tor 1 see that you are a parcel of sneaks
in Congress, and do not tell your mind. But
I can both suggest the law you mean and en
force it!”
So far went Bully Grant. But Mr. Jim
Blaine deployed. He threw his Jelt flank
into a corps of observation and advanced his
right with a fine temerity, ready to run if
there should he any danger aud faint on the
meetiug-honse steps. There proved to be in
this case no danger. The Force Bill was
beaten. Ames saw the inevitable and de
camped from Mississipi. Alabama relapsed
and Spencer's bloody-minded delegation was
repulsed from the Cincinnati Convention by
Blaine's crew, because they were for force
and not for submission. The South was all
lost to the republican party by the failure
of the Force Bill. At that failure I heartily
rejoiced, but where does it leave the Artful
Dodger and emigrant by the reverse from
the West to the rising sun? Where does il
leave our Ancient Pistol, that natural com
panion to Ben Wade’s old rifle?
tie went home and tried to be President
because be had beaten the Force Bill. He
failed because Providence Was still para
mount in human concerns. And now, with
the fine reconsideration of the fox which
had lost its tail, Mr. Blaine observes:
“Ha! ’sdeathl The suffering black, aband
oned! Can I believe my eyes? What ho!
Saddle my jackass! Put pads over my con
science! Heft my cuirass and button on
my greaves. Varnish my billiard-cue. The
Blaine rides forth!”
At which a voice responds from the back
kitchen:
“Marie, here's another tramp wants some
cold victuals! Give him some of the old
shank we had last Tuesday week, and pepper
it like well?"

An ImineiiHC Live snake Taken front a
Roy * Mimurli.
The Dubuque Herald relates a
wonderful and almost incredible
story of a snake which was impris
oned iu the stomach of a lad for a
period of five years. The boy, whose
name is Beuning, resides with his
parents near Dyervilie, in Deleware
county, la. Five years ago, being;
then 10 years of age, ho began to
suffer ftom pains in the stomach
and abdomoniat regions, which, at
times, were almost beyond endu
rance. The best physicians within
reaching distance were consulted,
and every remedy known to
medical science was brought into re
quisition, but all iu vain. As the lad
grew older the pains became less
frequent, but when they did occur
they were of such an excruciating na
ture as to throw hitu into terrible
convulsions. Just before the pains
aud fits came on, young Benning
would declare that he felt something
crawling in his body, aud winding
and twisting about his intestines.
The boy ate voraciously, but re
mained poor and emaciated, Several
physicians believed him to be trou
bled with tape worm, and treated
him for that affliction, but without
favorable results.
The cramps and convulsions con
tinued, and recently were accom
panied by choking sensations. Ben
ning’s parents having tried every
means iu their power to procure re
lief Irom his troubles, recently
sought the advice of a doctor who
happened to visit Dyervilie for the
purpose of lecturing. If his physi
cians, whose name is not given, made
an examination of the patient, and
stated that the boy’s stomach was
inhabited by a living reptile of some
sort. He administered a dose of
medicine, and expressed the belief
that it would so operate as to cause
the living creature to make its ap
pearance in the boy’s throat. The
doctor proved to be correct. Iu a
few minutes after administering the
medicine the head of a snake appear
ed in the boy’s mouth and was
gently drawn forth from its five
years’ imprisonment by a forceps in
the bands of the doctor.
The snake was of the garter spe
cies, beautifully striped, and meas
ures sixteen inches In length. The
snake died soon after leaving its
living prison, and i3 now preserved
in alcohol. The Herald says that it
has been seen by hundreds of people,
and that the event created consider
able excitement. The theory given
for the presence of the snake in Ben
ning’s stomach is that he must have
swallowed it while drinking from
someone of the springs in the vicini
ty of his residence, or else drank the
germ from which his snakeship grew
into his formidable size. The story
is a remarkable one and well calcu
lated to excite widespread attention.

The Kusalitn Fleet at Mew York.
WHAT IT MEANS.
The presence of the six Russian
men-of-war in American waters at
this time is dow regarded to have
more significance than the mere es
cort of the two Russian Dukes. Alexis
and Constantine. It is believed that
the Czar, when he ordered the fleet
to this country, had in his mind’s eye
that war between his Empire and
Turkey was inevitable, and that it
would be a wise stroke of polioy to
have cruising in the Atlantic six
fleet ships *f his navy in oase Eng-
land should in any contingency be
come involved in the complication.
In that event it is believed that Rus
sia would commence a system of
predatory acts on the commerce of
England in the waters of the Atlan
tic. Such a stroke would compel Eng
land to keep her North Atlantic fleet
in a condition to protect its commer
cial marine, and at the same time
look after the movements of the Rus,
sian men-of-war. It would alsolead
undoubtedly, to the passage of a free
shipping law in the United States—
the repeal of the present navigation
law, in order to give the commerce
of England the protection which
would i>6 accorded it by flying the
American colors. Naval officers say
that the Russian ships now in the
waters of the Atlantic are the fastest
of the Czar’s naval establishment,
and by reason of their thorough
sailing capacity as to speed, could do
incalculable damage, and elude the
vigilanee of a whole fleet of vessels
of less speed, though more formida
ble iu armament.
Queen Victoria’* crown.
Tbc following description of the Im
perial State Crown has been furnished by
Professor Tennant, Mineralogist to the
Queen:
The Imperial State Crown of Queen
Victoria was made by Messrs, ltundell &
Bridge, In the year 1838, with jewels ta
ken from old crowns and others furnish
ed by command of Her Majesty. It con
sists of diamonds, pearls, rubies, sap
phires and emeralds, set in silver and
gold. It has a crimson velvet cap, with
ermine border, and is lined with white
silk. Its gross weight is thirty ounces,
five pennyweights troy.
The lower part of the band above the
ermine border, consists of a row of 129
pearls, and the upper part of the band of
a row 112 pearls, between which, in front
of the crown, is a large sapphire (partly
drilled,) purchased for the Crown by
King George IV. At the back are the
sapphires (three on each side); between
them are eight emeralds.
Above aud below the seven sapphires
are fourteen diamonds and around the
eight emeralds 128 diamonds. Between
the emeralds and the sapphires are six
teen trefoil ornaments containing 160
diamonds. Above the bund are eight
sapphires, surmounted by eight diamonds
between which are eight festoons consist
ing of 148 diamonds.
In front of the crown, and in the cen
ter of a diamond Maltese Cross, is the
famous ruby said to have been given to
Edward, Prince of Wales, son of Ed
ward HI., called the Black Prince, by
Don Pedro, King of Castile, after the
battle ot Najera, near Victoria, A. D.
1467. This ruby was worn in the helmet
ol Henry V. at the battle of Agincourt,
A. I). 1415. It is pierced through, after
the Eastern custom, the upper part of
the piercing being tilled up by a small
ruby. Around this ruby, in order to
form the cross, are seventy-five brilliant
diamonds.
Three other Maltese crosses, forming
the two sides and back of the crown
have emerald centers, and contain re
spectively 132, 125 and 130 brilliant dia
monds. Between the four Maltese crosses
are four ornaments in the form of the
French flur-de lis, with four rubies in
the centers, and surrounded by rose dia
monds, containing respectively 85, 83 and
87 rose diamonds.
From the Maltese crosses issue foi th
imperial arches, composed of oak leaves
and acorns; the leaves contain 728 rose,
table and brilliant diamonds; thirty-t wo
pearls form the acorns, set in cups con -
mining fifty-four rose diamonds and one
table diamond, tbc total number of
diamonds in tbc arches and acorns is
103 brilliant, 116 table and 559 rose dia
monds.
From the upper part of the arches are
suspended four large pendant pear-shaped
pearls with rose diamonds, and stems
containing twenty-four very small rose
diamonds. Above the arch stands the
mound, containing in the lower hemis
phere 304 brilliants, and in the upper
244 brilliants, the zone are being com
posed of thirty-three rose diamonds.
The cross on the summit has a rose-cut
sapphire in the center, surrounded *by
four large brilliants and 108 smaller bril
liants.
Summary of jewels comprised in the
crown: One large ruby, irregular pol
ished ; one large broad-spread sapphire,
16 sar phires, 11 emeralds, 4 rubies, 1,363
brilliant diamonds, 1,274 rose diamonds,
147 table diamonds, four dropped-shaped
pearls and 273 pearls.
Pantaloon* With One Lett.
The Philadelphia Times had no
business to pen the following ideas
on the delicate subject of “panta
loons with one leg
When we give vent to our admira
tion of the present fashion of dress
worn by the fair sox, we wish it to be
understood that our praises are given
solely to its beauty and not to its
convenience. Aud even our staunch
support of its beauty has its limit.
When the pullback reaches a strict
ness and severity that interferes with
the free action of walking, then its
charm begins to decline. The lithe
and willowy grace of a slender fe
male form never appears to a greater
advange than when the folds of the
skirt suggest the movements of the
propelling powers; and any garment
which restricts or impedes their free
dom is shapen in inquity. We have
fecently observed, with great regret,
that the sphere of woman's activity
is much restricted by the prevailing
mode, and the tendency seems to
ward a still greater narrowing of her
field of energy. The garments are
undeniably beautiful when the wear
er is in repose. A weli-chosen pose
is positively statuesque in tne
severe and doric simplicity ot the
drapery. Asa sedentary costume
it, is of unquestionable merit.
When we remember how much of
our youth was wasted upon the cheer
less deserts of crinoline expansion;
how all female symmetry was lost in
the dreary monotony of hoop-skirts
of umbrella-tike convexity and stiff
ness; how ladies might as well have
been churns on rollers so far as any
grace of walking was concerned—
when we think of these things our
gratitude to tho loaders of the
modern fashions knows no bounds.
We hesitate to pen a single word of
insurrection against the best skirt
the world ever saw. But still stern
duty compels us to protest against
these new disabilities of women. She
has suffered sufficiently from the
tyranny of man for ever so many
centuries. Susan B. Anthony de
mands for her the ballot in vain. She
is taxed without representation, a
thing which our forefathers never
would consent to. How can woman
keep step in the march of improve
ment? How can she stride to that
eminence of dignity whioh all the
advanoed thinkers hold to be her des-
tiny? How can she lift her foot to
place it on the throat of tyranny and
say “sic semjjer" ? In a word, how
can she compete with man, who,
though of the inferior sex, has pan
taloons with two legs? This is a
question for the solemn considera
tion of tho wives and daughters of
America.
