A correspondent professes to have
discovered that Osman Pasha, who
commands the Turkish army at Plev
na, and through, whose, generalship
the Russians were defeated in the re
cent great battle, is Marshal Bnzine
of Fran oe, who was disgraced by the
surrender of Metz, and imprisoned
for treason and then escaped and fled
from the country.
Since the death of Brigham Young
thegovernmentof the Mormon church
has passed into the handH of twelve
. apostles, ten of whom will be present
at tho funeral. Two of them Jas. F.
Smith and Orson Pratt are in Eng

other president of the church appoint
ed for some time.
Brigham has escaped the clutches
of tho U. S. Marshal, by passing be
yond his jurisdiction. Whether he
will fare any better In the jurisdic
tion whither he has gone Is not known
Kcncsaw Times.
. Well, is it possible that there is one
thing that the Times don't know all
about? The Prof, no doubt thinks he
knows hasn't any doubt about It
but then his exceeding modesty, you
know.
News is received of another big bat
tle between the Turks and the Rus
sians, and that again the Russians are
whipped. A cablegram from Lon
don of the 1st, says: "Later editions
of the Daily Ncivs and Standard pub
' lish dispatches from other correspon
dents who were eye-witnesses of
Thursday's battle, which conflrm in
detail a 6erious Russian defeat on the
Xiom. Jiotu correspondents agree
.that Popkoi has been abandoned and
the Russian position completely turn
ed. The TurkB are continuing pur
suit. Brother Gere, of the State Journal
is wrestling with the question : "Tax
ing Government Bonds.' He is gen
erally a very olever and dear writer.
But when on the question of finances,
like all others on that side, looses dig
nity and indulges freely in pet names,
designates those differing With him
as "a large number of numbskulls in
the land." We admit the "number"
who disagree with his ideas Is "large,"
but as to being "numbskulls," that is
another question.
We dip the following from the
Journal as a "specimen brick" on the
vexed question of taxing government
bonds :
They say that the rich bondholder
escapes takes and waxes fat, while the
poor plowholder is squeezed for his
last farthing, and hence not to tax the
bondholder on the number of dollars
the government owes him Is unjust
and oppressive. In other words debt
Ib property. How easy it would be
according to this theory, to make mil
lionaires of all of us. We will take
three men A, B and C to illustrate,
who have $1,000 each and pay taxes
on the same to the government.
The government comes along and
borrows Ab $l000t issuing him
bonds therefor, and hires B to
go for a soldier, paying him the$r,000
for his service. B has now two thou
sand, and pays taxes on it, and A still'
pays taxes on the $1,000 the govern
ment owes him. The government
then borrows B's $2,000. gives him its
r.rar and C zets elected to Congrpss,
and the government paystiim the $2,- J
as salary, and he is tpxed for $3,
000i B for the $2,000 the governmen
it
owes him, and A for the 51,000
the
government owes him. Then
the
government borrows C'a $3,000, giv
ing him a L6nd for that amount, and
pays It to A on a contract. A Is now
taxed for $4,000, B for $2,000, and C
for $3,000, total $9,000.
Under the stipulations of the con
tractthe law government bond are
not taxable. The contract, whether
wise, or unwise, was made in good
faith, and the stipulations should be
compiled with. About this point we
will not depute. But with the prin
ciple attempted to be illustrated in
the foregoing we respectfully beg
leave to disagree. The "heaping up"
mode of which the author starts out
with one thousand dollars, and runs
it up to nine thousand, is to say the
least novel. The fact is there is but
three thousand dollars Involved in the
Journal's illustration. And that, un
der our tsystsm of government, ought
to be taxable. The spirit of taxation
under our form of government is, that
each individual protected by it, should
contribute to its support, in propor
tion to the protection afforded, and
the ability to pay. Let us, If you
please, present another illustration in
the matter of "A, B and C," and
their "$1,000 each." A invests his
$1,000 in a manufacturing establish
ment, B, his iu land, and C In a gov
ernment bond. Is it just that A and
B should be taxed on their invest
ment, and that C should not
be taxed on his? As mat
ters stand to-day, the investment of
C is of far the preferable, and more
remunerative of the three. If the In
vestment of A and B, by good man
agement and profits, should increase
to $2,000 each in the course of time
even as high aB to "$9,000" wouldn't
they be taxed on the thousand valu
ation ? And wouldn' it be right and
just, and but in keeping with the gen
ius of our institutions?

An Iowa correspondent asserts that
the statements made claiming a full
crop of wheat in that state are un
founded. Much less land was sown
to wheat than usual, and the abun

drought. Fears are also entertained
for late potatoes, as rain is needed for
them also.

Road Agents in Limbo.
A letter dated August 2G, from
Deadwood to the Omaha Jtepublican,
gives the following Interesting ue
oouut of a fight with aud the capture
of a robber :
This has been rather an eventful af
ternoon in Deadwood. D. B. May,
who was robbed of a valuable rifle
some four weeks ago by tho "Road
Agents," while on his way out on the
coach, and who would have used it to
good advantage f n them at the time
had he been let alone (a party in the
coach throwing up the gun and not
allowing him toshoot), saw one of the
robbers this afternoon. The recogni
tion seemed to be mutual, and alter
some words had passed they drew at
once and commenced shooting. May
was hit in the arm, not seriously, but
kept up the fire until he emptied his
six-shooter aud deringer. The robber
during this time kept dodging until
he reached a horse tied in front of the
postoffice, sprang on him and would
probably have escaped had not the
horse been shot from under him. Af
ter ho had ridden about a quarter of a
mile, May bit him under the shoulder
blade.notseverely Ishould think from
a remark he made about a half hour
ago, in the jail, where I witnessed the
doctor dressing the wound. "Handle
me carefully, God d n It," he said ;
"I am of a good family If I do look
rough.". Ho Is a desperato looking
scoundrel, about 24 years old, with a
smooth face that looks boyish. Two
others were taken at a corral about the
same time, where tbey had five hors
es, ono mule, Baddies, etc. They re
sisted, but were overpowered. The
trio are In jail, and May can swear
they are part of the party who robbed
the coach he was on. I was in hopes
that to-morrow would see them in par
adise, but I do not think lynching
will be attempted. The jailor gave
me permission to see the wounded
robber, but would not the others. As
events progress will write again.
The finest apples we have seen In
the market this season were brought
in'from Nemaha county, this State.
We learned they were from trees eight
years old ; which trees average about
five bushels. The apples are larger In
size and of better flavor for both cook
ing and eating purposes than any op
ples we have ever yet seen from Mis
souri. Still it is said by some that Ne
braska s not a fruit State. Beatrice

In one year Tecumseh alone has
shipped threehundred thousand bush
els of corn, one hundred thousand
bushels of wheat, seven thousand fat
hogs, and many droves of fat cattle.
Allowing that Sterling and Elk have
shipped half this amount, which
would be a low estimate, some Idea
may be formed of the annual ship
ments from this county of grain and
stock. Chieftain Herald.
BATTLE OF KARASCAN.
Tlic Turis Again Victorious.
London, Sept. 1, 1877. The Times
correspondent with the Turkish army
telegraphs the following description of
Thursday's battle, apparently made
from personal observation : "Early
this morning Fedjibe Pashaadvauced
from Adakeny, near Rasgrad, with
three brigades, two batteries of artill
ery, two squadrons of cavalry, and one
brigade of infantry reserve. Mehemet
AH aud Prince Hassan took position
with their staff on a Jiigh hill imme
diately north of Yenokoi, which com
mands an uninterrupted view from
Rasgrad to beyond Qsmau Bazar. The
Russians, from their batteVfes behind
Saduna, opened fire about 9 o'clock on
the advancing Turks. Nedjibe stead
ily advanced and entered the burning
village of Sadona. By 10:30 o'clock
the retreating Russians were hotly
pressed. They retired precipitately
to Karascan, where they made a vig
orous stand. Sabit Pasha created a
diversion by attacking Haidarkoi.
They made splendid practice at the ad
vancing Turks and Egyptians, but
these cleverly opened out, and ad
vanced to the right and left of the vil
lage in really workmanlike style. The
engagement now became general, and
extended oversorae fifteen miles. The
heavy and continued roll of the fire of
the skirmishers was heard all along the
ridges from Basisliler to near Sadona.
By 4 o'olock Karascan was in flames.
The Russians gradually gave way, aud
the Turks redoubled the energy of
their attack. At 5 o'clock the enemy
were scampering out of the Haidarkoi,
aud horses were trotting up to take
the guns out of the battery. ..The
Turkish battery was making splendid
practice, and fired just as the guns
were taken oft'. One gun was struck
with the last shell. TheTurkB cheer
ed, and dashed through the blaziug
village, and away to the left to Pops
kai, like a pack of hounds. The Rus
sian camps were hastily cleared out,
two guns covering their retreat, and
making excellent practice, but the
Turks and Egyptians still scampered
over the ground in fine style. The
Russians were now in full retreat in
every direction, and by sunset the
Turks had proved for the second time
that they are not only capable of
meeting Russians on the open field,
but also of driving them from strong
ly intrenohed positions.
In ten days the Russians have lost
the magnificent double position of tho
Lom and Karahom. What may hap
pen next no one knows. It is Impos
sible to tell what forces the JRussImiB
had engaged, nor can their losses yet
be estimated. Probably thpy were not
heavy, except around Karascan, by
which name this engagement Is des
ignated by the Turks."

Kikksville, Mo , Aug. 21. A par
ty of gentlemen, including the officers
of the Quincy. Missouri & Pacific Rail
road, arrived here last night and will
start at noon today for a trip over the
proposed line of the road from this
point westward. They will probably
extend their trip across the couutry
for a distance of ninety miles, and if
they find everywhere as much anxiety
to have the road pushed onward as
exists here, there can be but little
doubt that the work will be speedily
undertaken.

EDiNBUKGir, Aug. 31 The freedom
of the city of Edinburgh was present
ed to ex-President Grant to-day Jte
pl3'lng to Lord Provost's speech, Gen.
Grant said: I am so filled with emo
tion I scarcely know how to thunk
you for the honor conferred upon me
by making me burgess of this ancient
city of Edinburgh. I feel it is a great
compliment to me and to my country.
Had I the proper eloquence I might
dwell somewhat on the history of the
great men you have produced num
erous citizensof this city and Scotland
that have gone to America and the
record they have made. Weare proud
of these men as citizens of our country
and they find It profitable to them
selves. I again thank you for the
honor you have conferred upon me.
Three cheers were given for the
youngest burgess.
Spencer, the President of the wreck
ed State. Saving Bank of Chicago,
whereby 14,000 depositors have sunk,
probably, the bulk of their deposits,
amounting to $3,000,000, has had a bad
record. His first banking venture was
InElkhorn, Wisoonsin. The institu
tion went up, and Spencer went out
of the State never to- return, between
two days. He was President of the
Cook County Bank, under the reign
of B. F. Allen, up to a short time be
fore its final collapse, and was charg
ed with much of the rascality devel
oped in the management of that insti
tution, and now he has done for one of
the oldest and most respectable sav
ings banks In the west, by his four
years management. The latest devel
opments of his management tend to
show criminality as well as reckless
ness. It Is claimed that just before
suspension the stockholders were al
lowed to sell all tliestock to the bank,
in exchange for what cash and valu
able collaterals were left In the safe,
and the officers drew their salaries up
to the last moment, leavlngan empty
shell to the 14,000 depositors. None of
the officers can be found owing per
haps to their extreme modesty. The
average depositea of the 14,000 is $214
each. State Journal.

Death of Brigham Yonm
The Mormon leaderoud great Saint,
Brigham Young, died at Salt Lake at 4
p. m. on the 29th iust. He was a very
old man having been born at Whit
tingham, Vermont, June 1, 1801. He
has been with the Mormons forty-five
years, having joined them at Kirtland,
Ohio, in 1832. In 1835 he was oue of
the "Apostles" sent out to make con
verts, aud was very successful. In 1844
he was chosen President and Prophet.
He abandoned Nauvoo, Illinois, In
1846. and come to "Far West," in
Caldwell county, in this State. The
Mormons were driven out of this State
by the militia. Brigham persuaded
his followers that Salt Lake Valley
was the Promised Laud, and settled
there in 1847. In 1849 he organized a
State called Deseret; but Cougrees or
ganized it as the Territory of Utah, of
which he was the United States Gov
ernor from 1S50 to 1S54. Just why he
was appointed to such a position the
ordinary one-wife American has never
fully understood. In 1857, the Mor
mons having defied the general gov
ernment. President Buchanan sent a
force from Fort Leavenworth to en
force its authority, but in 1858 a com-
promls wob made.
The reason the Mormons were not
then put down was because the Dem
ocratic pai'ty was engaged in making
Kansas a Democratic State by the use
of Federal bayonets.
On the 12th of July, 1857, James
Buchanan, President, wrote to Rob
ert J. Walker, Governor of Kansas, as
followB :
"Gen. Henry has been selected to
command the expldition to Utah, but
we ruuit contrive to leave him with
j ou, at least until you are out of the
woods.
"Kansas is vastly more important
at the present moment than Utah."
Brigham Young had twelve actual
wives, Besides many who were "seal
ed" to him as his spiritual wives. As
the head of the Mormon Church, he
was long governor of the Territory,
aud waseleeted "President" by a semi
annual election.
On Ms commanding abilities no oue
has entertained any question. His
power to command men and women
would have made him a leader any
where, and he would have been known
as a statesman or a diplomatist. He
was Immensely rloh, and the quarrel
over his fortune may be one of the
entering wedges in breaking up the
den of adulterers known as the
"Saints." No doubt Mormonlsm is
doomed. There is no longer a great
man to control the klnedom of forni
cation. St. Joe Herald.

Relief Without a Doctor.
Though we would by no means be under
stood ns deprecating, but rattier as recom
mending, professional aid In disease, thero
are multitudes of Instances when It Is neith
er necessary or easy to obtain. A family
provided with o comprehensive household
specific like Ilostetter's Stomach Bitters, is
possessed of a medicinal resource adequate
to most emergencies iu which medical ad
vice would be otherwise needful. That ster
ling tonic and corrective invariably reme
dies, and Is authoritatively recommended
for debility, indigestion, liver disorder, an
Irregular habit of body, urinary and uterine
troubles, incipient rheumatism and gout,
and many other nllments of frequent occur
rence. It eradicates and prevents Intermit
tent and remittent fevers, relieves mental
dispondency, checks premature decay, and
Invigorates tho nervous and muscular tis
sues. Sleep, digestion and appetite aro pro
moted by It, and It is extremely useful in
overcoming the effects of exhaustion and
exposure. sept
Tlxe Sultry Days or Summer.
Hot weather Is very exhonsting upon the
energies, and Its Influence renders the sys
tem peculiarly liable to disease. During the
close and sultry days of July and August,
Diarrhoea, Dysentery, Cholera Morbus,
Colic, and pains in the stomach are common
and fatal diseases. It Is not enough to trust
to a curative when attacked, for It is Essen
tial to tako measures for their prevention.
An unfailing prevention of all summer
complaints exists In Hr.- Radcllff's Sev
en Seals or Golden Wonder; and this stan
dard vegetable preparation Is no less effica
cious as a cure. Thousands have used It for
all diseases Incident to the summer solstice,
and always with the happiest results. Com
plete cures aie effected In the worst cases.
