London, May 28.—Two young Rus
sian engineer officers attempted to
reach a Turkish monitor on the Dan
ube with torpedoes, but were discov
ered and driven off by a heavy fire.
They returned at three o’clock in the
morning, in two skiffs, carrying a
chain of small torpedoes filled with
dynamite ; secured the eba’n across
the monitor’s bows, and fired it by
means of electricity, when the mon
itor disappeared.
Note— The destruction of this mon
itor was reported Saturday, but
neither the name wus giveu nor
scene of the exploit located. A fuller
account shows that it was one of the
most daring deeds ever recorded. A
small detachment of Russian
soldiers left the northern shore of
the Danube in a number of small
boats.
The night being very dark, they
i mauaged to surround the monitor
| before being discovered. Wheu
j finally observed by sentries ou board,
| they were challenged. The Major
| replied in Turkish—" Friends.” Tiie
: Turks, not satisfied, commenced fir
ing in the direction of Matchin, not
knowing where the boats came from.
The shots flow wide. During the
firing several Russian soldiers
plunged iulo the witer, swam silent
ly to the vessel, and placed a torpedo
in close contact with her bottom.
After it had been securely fastened
the men returned to the neighboring
shore. The moniter was blown into
the air, and all on board perished.

Two "Grice” For One.
"The English language is often a puzzle to
foreigners, and sometimes drives an Amer
ican Hut el keeper into a corner, as lor
instance in the following experience at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel where a wealthy French
guest came to complain at the office, and
was then met by the gracious Griswold, who
rose to explain:
‘What tor, sare, your garcon not present
my demand!’
•Your demand. Monsieur!’
‘Yes, sare. Do I speak Inglis perlait, sare!
Do you comprehend me, sare!’
••Certainly, your English is perfectly cor
rect. my dear sir. What is your desire!”
‘Vy, sare, you can tell me I can have at
my private table wis my Irens vatever 1 de
sire lo manger—pardon, to eat.’
■Certainly,’ said Griswold; ‘anything—
stewed doubloons and diamond sauce, if you
wish.'
•Ah, no, Monsieur, zat is too riche. I sim
ply desire some grice.’
‘Eli! some what!’ .
‘Some grice, Monsieur Griswold, such’ as
I eat for my dinnay ze ozer day.’
‘Ah! you mean rice, boiied rice; —certain-
ly, all the rice you desire.’
‘No, sare! It is not rice. Zat is what zat
premier garcon—head waitare—say. It is
a bird I want, sare; 1 want him roast, not
boil.’ "
‘Roast grice! Why, let my see.’ said
Griswold, in a dilemma, not wishing to ap
pear ignorant of his guest's meaning. T
don't believe there is a single grice in the
market.’
‘Ah, you make meestake ven you say tin
git grice.’
•indeed!’
‘Yes. sare. Vat you call a leetle rat!’
‘Mouse,’ suggested the hotel proprietor,
‘Yes Zen, two of zem, vat you call two
—mice, eh!’
‘Quite, correct,’ responded the host.
‘Zell, if one is ze bird you call grouse, two
is what you call grice, he!’
•Why. not exactly,’ said the hotel-man
struggling To keep countenance: ‘we say two
grouse, just as we say two sheep or two deer
—but lor mouse, mice, and— ’
‘Yaas, sare,’ said Monsieur, triumphantly
‘an vy not you say two bice for two houses,
or two louse lor two louses, or—’ How far
he might have continued cannot be said, but
at that moment the head clerk, Palmer,
standing near, had a violent attack of cough
ing, and Carr, the room-clerk, walked off
suddenly and slammed on the big hell, and
called for ‘front’ to do something, and then
stuck his own head down beneath the coun
ter, as the amused host walked away to
wards the dining halUvith his guest to order
the ‘two grice’ for Mosieor’s private table.

Obstnrlra to Crnaalnff llir Danube.
The Cologne Qaicttc: The Turks
j have on the Dauubo a fleet of six
i teen, mostly iron-cluds, small, fast -
sailing steamers, which are armed
with twenty-four pieces of Krupps’
I breeoh-loaders, while the Russians
tiave no siugle ship of that kind
there. These mcn-of-war which
[everywhere can sail on the deep
Danube with facility as far as the
Austrian frontier, might offer the
greatest difficulties to the ttirowing
out of the Russian pontoon bridges.
Not alone that, but with their heavy
cannon they could command the
entire length of the river at a great
distance, and consequently destroy
the liussiau pontoons. They also
eau, by the power of their rumming
against the already accomplished
bridges, sever them and run down
the single pontoons.
To secure themselves against these
hostile monitors the Russians have
no other chance than to lay torpe
does within proper distances from
the places where they intend a cross
ing, and so bar the water. This lay
ing of torpedoes under the lire of
the Turkish batteries from the high
Bulgarian rocky shore will be a ven
turesome enterprise for the Russian
engineers. Theu before the Russians
have reached tno Turkish territory,
there first might be as interesting
an engagement between the Turkish
monitors aud the Russian torpedoes
ns Europe has ever seen. If the Rus
sians should not succeed iu destroy
ing the Turkish monitors, or at least
make them harmless, theu their pon
toon bridges are, even if tbeir throw
ing is happily effected, iu great dan
ger of being thoroughly destroyed
by the hostile steamers. In this
case an army advanced to Bulgaria
would bo cut off from its couutry,
and could easily get into the greatest
straits for want of ammunition and
provisions.
Beyoud the mouth of the Pruth ns
far as Tultscha the outlook is similar
from the city of Rent. Far extending
lakes, into which the streams from
the north disembouge, must hinder
military operations. On the west
from Galatz, where the Sereth with
its many tributaries empties into the
Danube, the mospect is equally haz
ardous, but all these drawbacks fail
to render the occupation of Galaiz
less important and desirable from
the Russian point of view, since—
and this should be strongly noted—
Galatz is the only place in the long
extent of the river from Kalafat to its
mouth from which the Turkish shore
can be dominated. Tbe northern
most part of the Dobrudscha is as
Hat as a board, with the exception of
a very small portion occupied by the
Tartars. The subjugation of the
Dobrudscha as iiu introduction to
the war is evidently as necessary as
it seemed to Gen. Geisnar during the
troubles of 1828 9, when he made it
the fundamental idea of tbe plan of
the war.

Shumla is a iowii of about 40,000

fortifications in Turkey. Roads
from Varna. Constantinople, Sihstria
and Rustchuk meet there. The town
lies on the north slope of the Balkan,
about, midway between its crest anil
the lower Danube, iu a gorge, horse
shoe shaped, and Inclosed on tnree
aides by mountains. In all the wars
between Turkey and Russia it has
been the point of oouoeturation for
Turkish forces. In the vicinity is an
entrenched camp callable of aceom
modating from 40,0ut) to 60,(101) men.
At the summit of the cliffs which sur
round it is a wide tableland, covered
with biush ami underwood, intersec
ted hy narrow confined paths. The
fortifications which crown the
heights are of great extent. Besides
the strongly hastioued wall, there
are numerous detached works, mas
sive barracks, and hospitals built
since 1810. The most accessible ap
proaches are guarded hy strong forts,

it in 1387 and embellished and forti

for niuety years, mainly under the
Grami Vizier Hassau whose tomb is
tbe most notable monument in the
city. The Russians attempted to
take it iu 1774, 1807, 1810 and in 1828,
but without success. Iu 1853 us
fortifications were greatly extended.

[N. Y. Tribune.|
Silistria is a strongly fortified Tur
kish town, which lias been prominent
in the wars of the past hundred
years. It has a population of about
20,000, has soVerai mosques, a large
Greek church and convent, capacious
barracks, and public baths. It is a
very ancient city, and in the vicinity
are the remains of fortifications
which were erected during the By
zantine Empire. In 1773 it was bo.
sieged by the Russians, and still
again in 1779, when they suffered se
vere losses. In 1810 it capitulated
the first and only time but one in
history. In 1828 another siege was
laid and continued several mouths,
the Russians at last letirlng. Iu 1829,
however, it was reduced, and held as
a pledge for the payment of an in
demnity by the Porte.
Wnen new troubles with Russia
were apparent in 1849-’SO, the fortifi
cations were greatly strengthened by
the addition of twelve detached forts,
of which the one on the hill com
manding the town is said to he one
of the best military works of the
time. In April. 1854. it was invested
by an army of 50,uni) Russians, which
was afterwards increased to 70,001).
and a siege begun which continued
until near the Ist of July. A bom
bardment was kept up for three
weeks, midnight attacks were made,
20.0i)0 men attempted to gain the
town; but all without success. The
Russians retired and retreated across
the river. It is recorded that 50,000
shot and shell were thrown upon the
town, while the Russians lost 12,000
men and had 20,000 laid up in hospi
tals.
.fudge Kelley on the Currency,
Philadelphia Press, May 22d.
The folio wing letter from thesenlor
partner in a leading firm of commis
sion merchants of Baltimore to Judge
Kelley is replet with suggestions.
Iu (landing it to us with permission
to print, tiie Judge remarked that the
writer,ait hough well known byname,
is a prominent merchant, was per
sonally unknown to him :
Hon. IF. D. Kelley, Philadelphia:
Dear Sir: I have just finished read
ing your admirable statement n the
Philadelphia Inquirer, and agree with,
you in every particular. I have bit-
' terly opposed from its incipienoy the
contraction of the currency begun by
Secretary McOulioguh and continued
by his successors, believing that such
a policy would ultimately prostrate
the manufacturing, commercial and
agricultural interests of the country,
and thereby cause universal bank
ruptcy, which iu the end would force
the General Government to enact a
bankrupt law similar lo the oue of
1842, simple and easy for the uufort-!
unate to obtain relief.
If if, is the desire of those in au
thority to enhance the greenback to
par with gold only in order that they
presist in resumption of specie pay
ments, they can accomplish it much
sooner than 1879, and iu a very sim
ple way. Declare the greenbacks
legal tender for the payment of cus
toms dues, and in a very few weeks
they will be of equal value with, aud
possibly a premium over, gold-cer
tainly largely over silver coin. This
would place money matters in the
same anomaly that exists at present.
Gold, silver aud paper money having
different values, greenbacks would
be highest on the list, gold next, and
lastly silver. For this reason every
one would prefer the most conven
ient. money to carry—especially busi
ness men traveling to different sec
tious of the country to buy produce.
They would not like to be encum
bered with a load of gold or silver,
and would pay a premium for the
greenbacks rather than be thus
loaded down.
Business men don’t want a variuble
currency. They waut it all of uni
form value. To give this the Govern
ment must make greenbacks aud
silver aud gold coin a full legal ten
der; also, make all United States
coins interchangeable iu greenbacks,
the same as formerly the fractional
currency was redeemed in large notes.
Otherwise the business community
will be encumbered with the metals,
and will only be able to get rid of the
same by suffering a discount with the
broker. The banks of this city at
this time are refusing silver coin on
deposit or in payment of bills receiv
able, and the merchants inconveni
enced thereby. By making the coins
changeable into greenbacks, the Gov
ernmeut becomes tbe custodian of all
the metals of the country,and incase
there should be a call for them by
parties holding the greenbacks, the
Government would be at all times
ready to make ttie exchange. This
call would be but seldom made.
Tiie people of this country are
financially approaching the condi
tion they were in between 1830 and
1853, and from the same cause. The
banks at that time were incorporated
by the States and were required to
hold one-third of coin for every dol
lar of circulation. Then, as now, the
metal left the country to pay interest
on bonds negotiated in foreign coun
tries, the banks, losing their reserves,
collapsed, and their notes became
worthless, the country being nearly
depleted of money, caused a deplora
ble state of affairs; property would
only sell in proportion to the amount
of money in circulation, which was
very limited. Real property tum
bled first, next stocks, and lastly
bonds. They caved in so soon as the
States and municipalities defaulted
in the payment of the interest owing
on their bonds.
Itt 1830, Illinois bonds sold at a
premium of 2 per cent.; Indiana, 5;
Maryland, Pennsylvania and New
York, 10 to 12. In 1842 and 1843 Illi
nois sold at 17 cents on the dollar;
Indiana, 19; Maryland, 35 ; and Penn
sylvia and New York, 70(5:75 cents on
the dollar.
Owners of real estate not, being
able to collect their rents, could uot
pay their taxes; and corporations,
not collecting taxes, could not pay
interest or principal. The conse
quence was that investors, not re
ceiving their interest, were forced to
sell the principal, which sold the
same as other unproductive property
jnst in proportion to the limited
amount of money in circulation ; no
property would -ell for anything like
ns real value, eventuating in the
enactment of the memorable bank
rupt law of 1812 to give the people
relief.
Now, as then, the coin is leaving
our shores to pay interest dividends,
and the carrying trade, and the silver
exported for sale as a commodity, the
Government refusing to coiu it, and
the greenbacks going into the fiery
furnace. The country in a few years
will be depleted of its circulating
medium, and the people must suffet
the consequences of this maladmiu
istration of their finances. God only
knows how the matter will end. j
fear eventual bread riots only’wilt
terminate this wretched mismanage
ment.
In haste, very respectfully, etc.

1118 GREAT RACE AGAINST TIME.
Louisville special to Cincinnati Commercial.]
Just before the start, Gen. Abe Bu
ford, with his watch in his hand, said
to a friend who expressed doubt as to
Ten Broeck’s ability to accomplish
the feat before him: “Well, I don’t
want to win any money on this race,
and I’ve got a colt that can beat this
horse right here, either to-day or to
morrow ; but I will bet $5 that Ten
Broeck beats 1:4-lJ, I will bet $lO that
he beats 1:414, I will bet $25 that he
beats 1:41, SSO Lhat he beats 1:40|, and
$25 to SSO tiiat he beats 1:40.” The
latter bet was taken in proportion,
the General betting $2 to $4. How
the fat warrior laughed when be
rammed that two dollar bill into his
pocket about t wo minutes later.
When the three horses had beeD
warmed up, St. Louis galloped over
to the half mile pole, and toe Presi
dent tapping the drum as Ten Broeck
and Early Light reached the string,
the raxte was oil. The pace was uot
So strong at first as it Dad been ex
pected it would be, Ten Broeck start
ing off a little cold and Early Light
not being fast enough to stimulate
hitn to any extent. She could not get
near him in the first quarter, which
was run iu 244 seconds, and on the
back st retch he left her clear behind
running to the half mile pole in 49J
seconds. There the running was
taken up by St. Louis, who made the
pace about as hot as tbe great racer
wanted it. They went neck and neck
around the lower turn at an extraor
dinary rate of speed, and reached tbe
three-quarter pole in 1.134- The third
quarter was the fastest runjtney
came plunging down the home
j stretch head and head, and at the
! distance pole, St. Louis gaining
I slightly on Ten Broeck, the latter was
whipped to bring him to time. He
\ responded nobly, and the two went
under the string cheek by jowl.
The great feat had been accom
plished, and, amid the most euthusi-
astic cheering ever heard on a race
course, the time made by Ten Broeck
was put up—l.39J.
The horse was cheered lustily for
fully two minutes after his jockey,
[ Billy Walker, had been recognized
by the judges, and ho was then taken
I by his proud, but by no means flur
[ ried, owner to the shade of the club
house, and there cooled out.
None of the horsemen who hold
watches on the horse made his time
less than 1:40. Gen. Buford made it
1:40 exactly, and so did Cupt. Beard,
of Lexington. Mr. John R. Whaley,
of Cincinnati, au expert timer, made
it 1:39 4-5. Rut it was universally
conceded that the official timers.
Capr. Wm. Cottrell, of Mobile, aud
Col. R. A. Johnson and Mr. J. R. Russ
Butler, of Louisville, having the ad
vantage of position, timed the horse
correctly to the last fraction of a
secoud.
Ten Broeck’s performance was real-
Iv surprising. He ran to beat the
time of Searcher, an Enquirer colt,
that ran at Lexington in the fall of
1875, as a three-vear-old, carryiny
niuety pounds. Kadi subsequently
