TURKISH PLAN HARD TO UNDERSTAND,
London, July 11.—A special Vienna
dispatch to the Times says, the aban
donment of the line of Yanta by the
Turks is no more surprising, since to
judge from the stout defense of the
bridge and position of Beila, where
the Turks repulsed the first attack of
the Russians with considerable loss,
it might have been supposed they in
tended to defend that line, and thus
by threatnlng their flank prevent the
Russians from advancing into the
interior.
The Turks have so completely sup
pressed all information about the
disposition and movements of their
troops, that not even an idea can be
formed as to what they mean to do.
It shows either the utter helpless
ness or a very deep laid plan, that
they should havo neglected brilliant
opportunities afforded them of meet
ing the Russians to advantage.
The Times in a leading article,
says it believes tho Russians can’t
advance in force upon the Balkans
until they has secured their com
munication by constructing a pon
toou on the Danube as strong as any
in the possession of the Turks, This
will require a month at least. The
excursions of Cossacks to Tirnova
Ploveta, Silvia and Lowatza have
little or no military significance.

The Fiend ot the Jungle.
The tiger, the tyrant of the Indian jungle,
has the precedence over his feebler or loss
dreaded congeners. Skirting the base of the
Himalayan range, extending east and west
for many hundreds of miles, is a tract of
land covered with jungle, called tha Teral;
this is his chosen home. Cradled in the
long, feathejy grass of the jungle, he gam
bols about in his infancy playful as a kitten,
and usually attains when full grown the
leneth of nine or nine and a half feet. Wild
hogs, deer, and all the larger species of game,
are his usual prey; but sometimes a pair of
tigers will take up their abode within a mile
of a v llage, sallying out from their lair ev
ery three or four days to pull down a bul
lock or a buffalo, always selecting the fat
test in the herd. Thestreugth of their mus
cular lore-arms is enormous. Captain Bald
win says: "I remember in Assam a tiger
in the dead of night leaping over a fence
nearly live feet hign, seizing one of the lar
gest oxen, and again leaping hack, dragging
the bollock after him across several fields
and over two hedges.” In his old age, when
his teeth become worn, he not unfrequently
becomes a man-eater; and such is the devas
tation he then occasions, that whole villages
are sometimes deserted, and extensive dis
tricts laid waste from dread of these feline
scourges. In these disastrous circumstances
the advent of an English sportsman With
his rifle and elephants is hailed as a god send
by the whole neighborhood, A tiger often
when brought to bay li spits” exactly like a
cat. Contrary to the received opinion tigers
seldom roar; but at night the forests resonud
with the hideous din of their cries which re
semble the caterwauling of a whole squad
ron of gigantic tom-cats. In making a
charge the tiger utters a series of short, vi
cious, coughing growls, as trying to the
nerver as the most terrific roar. —Vhamhtre

A Wonderful Electric Freak.
From the Fayette (N. C.) Gazette.)
Our readers will remember that a vio
lent rain storm came up on Thursday
evening of last week; during- which there
was one tremendous flash of ligthtning
and a ratling peal of thunder. A negro
about the old State Bank lot betook him
self when tho rain commenced to pour
down, to the interior of an old hogshead
lying on its side, and was doubtless con
gratulating himself on his cosy shelter,
when the above mentioned flash came.
It raised the hogshead, man and ail, about
four feet from the ground, and set it tip
on end.

They know how to manage these
thiugs better in Kansas City than
we do here. To correct all wrong
impressions that might occur, we will
step aside a moment to say that
Kansas City is in the State of Misj,
souri, just, on the border land or the
bleeding State, and though planted
on the eastern shore of the turbhl
Kaw, is generally regarded os the
metroiyoHs of Kansas, its chief pride,
its mainstay of commerce aud manu
factures. This statement, however,
i is onlv jMtrenthetionl, aud therefore
j unnecessary to the Illustration of the
j point that vve started out with. Mar
riage is a lottery at best we ail kuow
and admit. That being true, court
| ship Is but a game ol’ policy which
: has the lottery for its basis, and
without it has no oxistence, real ot
I imaginary. If the one Is so uncer
tain as to be proverbial, to what a
i stretch of vague conjecture must the
| other leud! Aud here come these
Kansas City people, more wise aud
profound in their day than all who
have preceded them, and propose to
add to the uncertainties of both by
further hazard of the lottery direct.
That is to say, they add one more
combination to tho lock which keeps
giddy voung men from throwing
themselves headlong through the
door of matrimony into 'he Lord
j only knows how much trouble.
The Kansas City Times, a dally pa
! per of general circulation in Kansas
I and Missouri, some months since
i conceived tho plan of having a
“grand distribution” of young ladles
1 to such of its bachelor and widower
I subscribers as chose to buy tickets
therein. All distributions are spoken
of as grand, whether they be by lot
tery, church fair, ring-cake or grab
bug, but this was to bo the grandest
ever conceived on the Western conti
nent.. A hundred and sixteen blush
ing beauties, who had sent their
names, their charms (depleted by
themselves) and their photographs,
were, using a permissible metaphor,
to be seated in a row like a vast grad
tiating class, and to be drawn by lot
by the holders of tho tickets; whilo
another hundred and twenty-five,
who doubtless had been de
scribed as equally shunning, though
presumably not so beautiful, becuuse
they didn’t send their photographs,
formed a second class to be drawn
afterward. These were tho first and
second prizes in the grand scheme.
The approximates doubtless the
younger sisters, the more modest
cousins and tho bosom friends of
those who desired to be won, who
still stand a chance of being taken
up by the lucky ticket holders. If a
first prize should fail to meet the
I ideas of the one drawing it, he has
yet his chances iu the approximate
list. He might win the right to
court, but not the ability to win; or
even he might win the right to court,
and upon looking on his prize might
lose the desire to own it. In either
case, the approximate list would be
of great value.
Well, the drawing came off one
day last week as it had been an
nounced. A fashionable audience of
Kansas City’s most ultra-fashionable
people were gathered at the Opera
House to see the award made. If
love be blind, as it proverbially is.
bow much blinder than the blind
must it be when incited by drawing
the names of those who were to be
come its captives from glass wheels,
name and number in the most uncer
tain of ways! But that was the wav
it was done, and the 241 premium
young ladies were in the course of
three hours raffled off, and the pho
tographs of tfie 118 who had thought
enough of their personal attractions
to intrust them to the camera’s gaze
were distributed around, each to tier
proper winner. Then tho faithful
descriptions of the 125 beauties of tho
second class were given out to their
winners, and the great, matrimonial
drawing was at an end.
We are not yet given the names of
the premium ' girls, but the gentle
men who won them are all of them
duly chronicled iri the columns of
the enterprising puper that origina
ted the scheme. A few selections
from the catalogue will give a good
idea of the attractive ness ol the oc
casion and at the same time remind
one of the literary beauties of a Herd
Book. For example:
“Tennie Matthews, jun., city edi
tor of the Jefferson City Tribune, was
extremely fortunate, winning one of
the most charming ladfes in the list,
Miss- ——, of Abilene, Kansas.”
We hope the City Editor in ques
tion will consider himself a fortunate
winner. Here is another:
“Premium No. 14, a beautiful young
lady of Boonville, Missouri, was won
by Thomas A. Courtland, of Napo
leon Missouri.”
Mr. Courtland will now have to
justify his name,and oourt the Boon
ville belle.
Mr. Boothe, of Westport,lMissouri,
it seems, was also lucky :
“Mr. John Boothe, of Westport,
Missouri, was lucky. His ticket
drew Premium No. 17, a charmiDg
young lady of Neodsha, Kau.”
Ohio was not forgotten in the
drawing, it appears, for we read :
“George W. Kemp, of this city,
won an Ohio young lady, whose
photo is not surpassed by any in the
Times’ collection.”
Wo are at a loss to understand
what Mr, Stewart’s intentions were,
unless he wants to go to Salt Lake
City with a colony or premium wives,
when we read:
"Mr. A. T. Stewart, well known in this
city as the purchasing agent of the Pat
rons of Husbandry of Kansas, drew pre
mium No. 16, Miss , of Mound
City, Kansas, and premium No. 93, Miss
( of Perrin, Missouri, whose let
ter published in the Times tins elicited
ninny compliments from bachelor cor
respondents. Mr. Stewart had a ntiml er
of tickets in the special drawing, which
accounts for his drawing two premiums.
Several others were also doubly fortun
ate from the same reason.”
Here is what a dashing beau of Fort
Scott succeded iu doing:
j “Will Gallagher, a dashing beau of
i Fort Scott, was fortunate enough to win
! one of the handsomest Indies on the list.
Premium No. 77, Mini , of Gi
rard, Kansas.”
There was one young window in the
list of attractions:
“Premium No. 113, Mrs. , a
charming young widow of the city, was
i won by A. J. Eng'ishof Spring Hill Kan
sas.”
A Senator trusted hU fortune, it ap
pears, to the chances and won:
"Senator G. F. Ballingall, of this city,
! was extremly fortunate, winning premiun
jN. 109, Miss , of Colorado
! Springs, one of the most beautiful young
■ ladies on 'he fist,”
So we might go on through the entire
list, showing how the prizes were won,
and who won them in this grand lottery
of matrimony, Kansas City understands
liow to manage such things.

“SMOHALLA, THE DREAMER,” 18 THE
PROPHET WHOM THE BLoODV NEZ
PEKCF.S FOLLOW.
B*ll Francisco Examiner.)
The original cause of tho dispute
with the Nez Porous may bo said to
date from the treaty wlitoh Gov. I. I.
Stevens, of Washington Territory,
made with tho Nez Pyroes and other
tribes in June, 1857. At that time
Gov. Stevens refused to reoognize the
hereditary Chief of the N"Z Perces,
aud practically elevated Lawyer, a
cunning aud tractable Indian, to the
Chieftainship. The Nez Perces were
then, and are yet, the most numer
ous of any of the tribes of that whole
region. They are generally peaceful,
and live quietly upon tho fine and
extensive reservation on the Snake
and Clearwater Rivers, near the
town of Lewiston. They oulti- 1
vate largo farms, have innumerable
herds of horses, autl are generally a
well-to-do people. But some of their
tribes are “wild” Indians, aud, in
stead of believing with tho majority
of their brethren in tho policy of a
somewhat civilized life, they prefer
to follow after the traditions and
habits of their savage ancestors.
Among the Chiefs who very reluct
antly signed tho Treaty of 1857 was
Joseph—the father of the Chief of
the same name who now heads the
outbreak. Old Joseph was not a
Nez Perces; he was a Cayuse Chief.
Yet he claimed the Wallowa Valley,
and was recognized as a leader of his
people. Some of the Nez Perces who
were dissatisfied with the treaty, but
more with the conduct of Governor
Stevens elevating Lawyer to the
Chieftaincy, raeasureably sided with
Joseph, and the disaffected of still
other tribes joining them so as to
swell tho number to somewhat form
idable numbers.
Before that time a very cunning
Indian had begun to evolve anew
faith or superstition among the In
dians. He was known as Smohalla,
or “The Dreamer.” He had been
taught by missionaries, and he turn
ed what lie had learned to account in
a way ho had never intended or ex
pected. Of ail the Bible-lessons, the
one he most and particularly set
store by is that which is contained
in Judges vi. aud vii., as to Gideon
and his band reduced from many
thousands to only 300, overcoming
the Midianites. Smohalla preached
to his tribe the doctrine he derived
from the text, and inspired them to
believe that although the whites, or
Midianites, were powerful in num
bers, yet could tlie Lord’s
own people, Gideon’s band
of 300 -the Indians themselves -
triumph over them and drive them from
die land during the Indian war of 1858,
when the late General Wright severely
whipped the Indians of that upper coun
try and obliged them to sue for
peace, he put a stop to Smohalla’s preach
ings aud influence by keeping him a close
prisoner. But alter General (or Colonel,
as he was then) Wright made peace, he
allowed the mischievous "dreamer” his
liberty on condition he should cease his
efforts to propagate his peculiar incendia
ry doctrine among the Indians, and until
General Wright was called away from
there, duri.-.g our own civil war, Smo,
nalla found it advisable to refrain from
openly seeking converts.

Lite Valueless without a Tall.
Chicago Time's Milwaukee Letter,)
Dr. Rolf’s numerous eccentricities
finally culminated in devoted love
for a pet monkey. The raopkey was
his solace -and his care during the
cold of last winter. Toward early
spring tiie doctor’s attention grew
slack, and the monkey’s tail was
frozen. The fact did not become
known, however, until warm weather
catne and mortification set in—in the
tail. Of course the monkey became
ill, and the doctor concluded, after
careful exmanination, that amputa
tion of tno diseased member was
necessary to saveJocco’s life; so it
was cut’off. The monkey’s health
began to improve immediately, but
he became depressed in mind, and
ashamed. We may never realize the
full extent of that monkey’s cha
grin as he viewed his useless and
ill-looking tail-stump; only as we
ponder on the strange action of the
"missing link.” In the monkey’s
cage whs a stout cord that served a
number of useful purposes. The
monkey was seen to handle the rope
a good deal and to become absorbed
in contemplation of it. What was
Dr. Rolf’s astonishment to get up
one morning and find that the
monkey had actually fastened the
rope to the top of his cage, had made
perfect slip-noose, and had commit
ted suicide in a thoroughly human
way by hanging.
