Washington, June 2.—The unex

border policy, in taking control from
the State Department and virtually
trusting the whole affair to General
Orel’s discretion, excites the filibus
tering element. They seem to think
that General Ord has private instruc
tions to act with vigor, and that
some kind of war with Mexico is de
termined on. It is known that the
rnanagerof what is called the Sonora
movement has two of his most trust
ed aids following General Ord to the
border to watch events, and for other
purposes.

Berlin, Juno 2.—lt Is stated that
the Czar is willing to undertake the
chief command, as Epiperor Wil
liam did in the Franco-German war.
The Danube will be crossed the day
after the Czar’s arrivul on its banks,
probably June 16th.
The rumors of endeavors to bring
about a pacific arrangement before
au important battle has taken place,
deserves no credit. They are cer
tainly propagated for the benefit of
stock jobbers.
London, June 2.—The Times’ eor
-1 responden at Paris says: It is now
1 well known what the real difficulties
of the situation are, Russia can only
escape more threatening, conse
quences of her undertaking by
promptly aud energetically limiting
the area of the war. It is evident
j that the day Servia takes part in the
war, or the Roumanian troops cross
the Danube, Austria will occupy one
or both principalities. Then the real
Eastern question will commence.
Certainly Russiais doing her utmost
to keep Servia back. The difficulty
raised as to the command of the
Roumanian troops only another
effort to prevent the Roumanian
army from crossing the Danube.
But Russia has no longer much in
fluence over Servia, which she aban
doned and humiliated. An early ex
plosion in Servia may therefore be
feared. The Czar sees this. It is
said if he joins the army it will be to
arrest it, and after the first victory to
negotiate rapidly with the Sultan and
finish the war before it developes
hese threatening complications.
London, June 2.—The Times' Con
stantinople correspondent, having
just returned from a close inspection
of Varna, Rustchuk and Shumla,
says he can not conscientiously re
port much in favor of the military
authorities. The private soldiers are
undoubtedly good and patient, but
are execrably fed. The officers, with
a few striking exceptions, are not
equally good. Abdul Pasha, the
Conimander-in-Chief of the Turks,
is old and in bad health. The troops
are well armed, the cavalry fairly
horsed, and there is much sickness
and scurvy. Chlorofrm is greatly
needed. The officers uro newly ap
pointed and have no provisions,
borne of the officers, however, are
working at Vuruo. The Austrian
General Streiker works day ami
night. Only one English officer is in
the array, and he is merely a captain
of cavalry.
A leading article in the Times says:
Little war news has reached us with
in the last few days. There are
vague reports of improbable events.
There are rumors such as continual
ly arise during a war of a disposition
to negotiate, but the campaign in its
main features is not marked by any
new incident. The elements fight
against the Russians. A persistent
deluge of rain prevents greater ob
obstacies to their advance thau the
Turkish armies. Rarely has a war
gone so slowly forward.

London, June 2.—The Mincing Dine

The London Stock Exchange.
ADVANCED BATES, AND THE CAUSES.
London, June 2.—On the Exchange
the movements this week have hail
no reference to political events. The
investment securities show a further
advance, because money is easy and
employment for it scarce. But in
speculative securities there has been
a rise, not unknown, but still very
marked, and outside the markets
there is no perceptible reason for it.
The extraordinary high price of
Consols can, perhups, be accounted
for by the scarcity of other good in
vestment stocks, and as regards the
recent rises, to the general knowl
edge that British funds are nearly
always bought up before the half
yearly dividends fall due; and the
price of Russian stocks, which is high
compared with what it lately was, is
to some extent due to the knowledge
that the next dividends will bo paid.
But whatever be the special reasons
here and there for a rise, the
excited character of this week’s
advance is no doubt owiug to
the absolute necessity of the bear
operators closing their accounts, be
cause they could not afford to loso
any more money. Indeed several
operators have exceeded that limit.
Fourteen defaulters have been de
clared at this settlement.
The feature in American securities
has been a little easier. The market
rate was 2§ percent, for three months
bank bills. The selling days on the
Stock Exchange were marked by
some demand for short loans, and
rates were generally steady.

THE TAKING OF THE REDOUBT.
A friend of mine, a soldier, who
! died of fever in Greece some years
ago, once gave me an account of the
first military action in which lie took
part.
His narrative interested mo so
! much that I wrote It down from
memory, as soon as I had leisure to
,do so. it was in snbstunee this:
“I joined my regiment on the 4th
of September, near night fall. 1
found the Colonel in bivouac. His
first reception was anything but ge
nial or courteous, but his manner
changed and thaw&l , decidedly, after
reading the letter of introduction and
recommendation sent by General
B •, and he spoke to me some
what cordially aud encouragingly
presenting me to ray future Captain,
who had just returned from a recon
uoitering trip.
The Captain—with whom I scarcely
had time to become acquainted—was
a tall, dark man, with a hard, forbid
ding face.
Ho had been a private soldier aud
won his epaulettes and cross by his
own bravery on the field of battle.
His hoarse, weak voico was a sin
gular and striking contrast to bis
almost gigantic phvsique, but I
loarnod that its peculiar tone was
j due to his having been shot from
lung to lung by a ball, at the battle
of lena.
When he heard that I came from
the school of Fontainebleau, he said,
with a peculiar contortion of his face:
“My Lieutenant died yesterday.” * *
These were his only words, but his
expression said, rather too plainly for
my pride: “And you do not look very
capable of taking his place.” A sharp
retort was instantly on my lips, but
my self-control was stronger than my
wrath, and I kept silent.
The moon rose behind Cheverine,
which was almost within cannon
range of our camps, and was super
naturally large and red—to niy eyes,
at least.
During one moment tho redoubt
seemed detached and painted in dark
J colors most startlingly on the blood-
J red face of the moon. It looked like
j the cone of a volcano at the moment
of its eruption.
An old soldier, near whom I hap
pened to be standing, also remarked
| its extraordinary color, and said : “It
lis wonderfully red, mrfl tills is h bud
j omen. It is a sign that tbe famous
| redoubt will be dearly bought.”
I have always been superstitious;
and this prediction, at such a time,
chilled me.
I went to bed-but not to sleep.
After fruitless attempts, I got up and
walked for some time, surveying the
illuminated line of heights surround
iug Ohevarlew.
When I fancied I’d imbibed enough
coo), bracing night air to refresh ana
quiet my blood, I returned to my
camp fire aud wrapping myself care
fully in my cloak, I closed my eyes,
hoping they would not open again
before rooming. Vain hope! Sleep
was an unpitying foe, who, Tantalus
like, would be almost within reach,
and then withdraw its soothing re
pose. Thoughts, dark and cheerless,
came and unceasing filled my mind
with gloomy pictures of the morrow.
Uppermost and clearest was the uu
welcotned truth that I had not one
friend among the thousand fellow
soldiers stretched in all directions
over the camp-ground.
If I were wounded, the hospital
and careless rough treatment were
my fate. Horrors, worse than conse
quences of battle, were to be expect
ed from ignorant surgeons; and I re
membered too vividly talcs long for
gotten ou this subject. Mv heart
beat violently, aLd I mechanically
made, a shield of my handkerchief
and pocket-book, over my heart.
I was ovorcome with fatigue, and
every moment I’d find myself sink
ing into a sleep of exhaustion, only
to be awakened again with a start
from some new dream of horror. I
finally succumbed to weariness of
body and mind, and when the drum
beat for reveille, I was souud asleep.
We were soon in line and tho roll
called ; arms were stacked aud every
thing presaged a quiet, peaceful
day.
About 3 o’clock an aid-de-camp ar
riving with an order, caused us to
resume our arms at once; sharp
shooters were deployed in advance,
and we followed. Within twenty
minutes we saw the Russian pickets
fall back and enter the fortifica
tions.
One battery of artillery was sta
tioned on our right and one on our
left, but both were a good deal in ad
vance of us. They began a quick
firing on the enemy, and were sharp
ly and promptly replied to, and soon
the redoubt of Cheverine disap
peared behind the denso clouds of
smoke.
Our regiment was pretty well pro
tected by a rise of ground, behind
which we were stationed.
The Russian bullets were scarce
among us; they seemed to prefer our
cannouiers and passed over our
heads entirely, or sometimes threw
earth and pebbles on us.
As the order to march was given, I
felt the intent gaze of ray captain, so
fixed on me, that I began to stroke
my young, insignificant moustache
with as careless and easy a manner
as I could assume. I really was not
frightened, and my greatest dread
was that sortie one should think I
was.
These harmless bullets increased
my heroic eaitn.
My pride told me that I must be in
a position of great danger, as I was
under the fire of the battery, and I
was elated to feel so much at ray
ease. In my “mind’s eye” I saw
! myself surrounded in Madame do
j Saint Leoxun’s parlor, rue do Pro
i vince, while I gave an account of the
“storming of Cheverine.”
Just here the Colonel passed in
front of our Company and stopped
to speak to-me. “Well, you will
have stormy weather for your de
but.” I smiled with my most mili
tary air, and with indifference
brushed the dust from tny coat
sleeve, which had been thrown there
by solid shot striking the earth with
in thirty steps of me.
The Russians begun to see how
harmless their solid shot were to
us, and substituted shell, which was
much more effective, in reaching our
hollow retreat.
A sudden burst knocked off tny
cap and killed the man nearest to
me. “You are fortunate,” said the
Captain, as I picked up my cap,
“now you are safe for to-duy.” I
understood him to refer to the mili
tary superstition, that a shot is not
apt to strike twice in the same
place.
I promptly put on my cap, saying
as gaily as I could; “This is making
a man salute with very little ceremo
ny.” Uuder the circumstances, the
captain seemed to think this an ex
cellent joke.
“I congratulate you no greater
harm will befall you, and to-night
you will be Captain of the Company;
for I feel the lire heating for me.
Every time I have been wouuded the
officer next to me has been killed;”
aud he added in a lower, sadder tone,
“their names always began with a
P.”
I feigned incredulity—many men
would have done the same, but many
men would have felt as I did—struck
by these prophetic words. Isolated
as I was, I could confide my feelings
to none, and I must seem brave aud
cool.
At the end of half au hour the Rus
sian firs decreased considerably;
then wo issued from our breastworks
to march uu the redoubt.
Or regiment was composed of four
battalions. Tbe second was charged
lojlank the redoubt, aud the two
others were to storm it. I was in the
third battalion.
On emerging from behind this nat
ural fortress which had shielded us,
we were greeted with several dis
charges, which did not harm our
ranks much.
Tbe whistling of the balls startled
rite, and I often turned tny bead sud
denly, which seemed greatly to
amuse my comrades, who were more
familiar with the sound.
We advanced at double-quick, pre
ceded by sharpshooters. Suddenly
the Russians gave three “hurrahs,”
loud and distinct; then remained
perfectly silent and did not fire.
“I do not like this silence—it is
ominous of harm,” said my captaiu.
I found the noisy conduct of our
men annoying, and thought their
tumultuous clamor contrasted very
unfavorably with the imposing si
lence of our foes. We rapidly ap
proached the foot of the redoubt.
The outworks had been damaged und
the earth much thrown about by our
lire. The soldiers dashed ou to these
new ruins with cries of " Vice l’Em
pereur-"’ louder aud stronger than
seemed possible from voices already
so taxed and wearied.
I raised my eyes, and the sight that
greeted them was too horrible to be
dimmed by years or effaced from my
memory by a lifetime of events.
The greater part of the smoke had
risen aud seemed like a canopy,
about tweDty feet above the redoubt.
Through this thick vapor we saw,
behind tile half destroyed parapet,
tho Russian grenadiers, their arms
raised, motionless as statues! I
seem still to see each soldier, the left
eye fixed on us, the right one hidden
by the raised gun. Iu an embrasure,
at some feet from us, a man holding
a burning fuse, was near a cannon.
I shivered aud thought my last
hour had come. “There the
dance, is about to begin—good even
ing,’’--cried my Captain. These
were the last words I over heard
him utter. A roll of dreams resoun
ded within tho redoubt. I saw all
their guns lowered. I cjosed my
eyes and heard a deafening volley,
followed by shrieks aud groans.
I opened my eyes, surprised to find
myself still alive.
The redoubt was again enveloped
in smoke; I was surrounded by dead
and wounded. My Captain was
stretched at my feet—(ils features
disfigured —his skull broken, and I
was besmeared with his brains and
blood.
Of my whole company six men and
I, only, were uninjured.
A moment of stupor succeeded this
carnage. The Colonel put his hat on !
the end of his sword and was the ;
first to mount tbe ramparts with the j
shout of “ Vive VJimperenrl” which
was echoed by every survivor as we
quickly followed him.
I have no clear idea of anything
| else. Wo entered—l do not know
how. We fought hand to hand in the
midst of a smoko so dense that no
| one could see. I believe I struck,
because I found my satire bloody uf-
J terwards.
At last I heard the welcome cry of
I “Victory!” As the smoke diminish
:ed I saw that the ground was so
thickly strewD with dead bodies
bathed in their blood, as to be
1 scarcely visible—eveu tho eaunons
wore piled with distorted corpses.
About two hundred men iu French
uniforms were grouped without any
order or rule, some loading their
guns, some were wiping their bayo
nets ; eleven Russian prisoners wore
with them.
Our Colonel was thrown back on a
broken caisson, near tho embrasure,
all bleeding and mutilated. Some
| soldiers hurried around him, I also
j approached. “Where is the oldest
Captain?” ho asked of our sergeant.
The sergeant gave a terribly sig
nificant shrug of his shoulders.
“Aud the oldest Lieutenant?”
“Here is the gentleman who arrived
yesterday,” said the sergeant.
Tite Colonel said, with a bitter
smile and a comprehensive glance at
tho corps around us: "You are com
mander-in-chief now. HaVe the en
trance promptly fortified, for the
enemy is strong; but General C
will sustain you.”
“Colonel, are you not dreadfully
wouuded?”
“My friend, I’m ruined, but. the re
doubt is taken.”
That l.lttle '.'lni.
Tho hoy with tho basket of apples was
half an hour late yesterday for the first
time in six months, and when he came iu
lie was without his basket, and his eyes
were red and swollen, lie’s been such a
straight, square boy that lie has many
friends, on this corner, and lie was at
once asked if the bootblacks had been rob
bing him; “no not that,” he said, ‘‘bin
don’t you remember that ‘Leetle Tim,’
who came here once and a while with
me?” “Little Tim! Y'es—he is your
brother.” That’s w hat he was, aud I was
breaking him in to sell apples and make
clinnge. Well, little Tim is dead.
“No?” Y'es. When I woke up at day
light this morning lie was cuddled up to
tny back, cold and dead! The Lord took
him in the night sir, and wasn’t it awful,
sir. that I wasn’t awake to put my arms
up over him, and hug his little head up
under my thin?” “It’s to bad—loo bad?"
"It’s awlul on us all, sir. Father’s sitting
in a corner, crying like a child, mother's
weeping and wailing, and the children
are smoothing little Tim’s curls snd
calling on him to wake up. That’s why
I haven’t brought theatppes sir j tnd that's
wliy 1 won’t be li re for two or three
days. We've got to bury leetle Tim, we
have, and I don’t see how we can
ever gather around the stove again of an
evening and he lying in the graveyard!
I’m big, sir, but t can’t help crying, and
father can’t help but cry, and I wish—l

eases, Dropsy, Dyspepsia, Emacia
tion, General’Debility, and for Puri
fying tho Blood.
’ This Sarsaparilla is a combination of
vegetable alteratives-Stillingia, Man
drake,Yellow Dock—with t he lodides
of Potassium and Iron, and is the
most efficacious medicine yet known
for the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredients are so skilfully
combined that tho full alterative
effect of each is assured, and while
it is so mild as to he harmless even
to children, it is still so effectual as
to purge out from the system those
impurities and corruptions which
develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its corps, and tire confidence
which prominent physicians all over
the country repose in it proves their
experience of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues
have accumulated, and arc con
stantly being received, and as many
of these cases are publicly known,
they furnish,convincing Evidence of
the superiority of this Sarsaparilla,
over every other alterative jnedieiue.
So generally is its superiority to any
other medicine known that we need
do no moro titan to assure the public
that the best qualities it lias ever
possessed are strictly maintained.
