that it is afiirnied that the Cardinals

with great valor. Of OS who fought as
a company at Alcxinatz, SO were left
dead on the field. The Servians are
said to be becoming jealous of the Rus
sians. They feel that the control of
the army is slipping from them, and
they will accept peace if it can be ob
tained oji good terms The seven days
fighting before Alexinatz has been
greatly exaggerated. It is estimated
that the entire Servian loss is only a few
hundred killed and about 2,300 wounded.

The .story of a Tramp.
He sh Hilled into the lit raid otliee
about It oYloek hist evening. 11' w;u
a tramp. Then was no mistake abmit
that. His whole raiment. Horn hisdirty
blue cotton shirt to his tattered tn.users
and gaping shoes. looked as though it
might n.ie been rhed by a bust years
scarecrow. The rolling prairie of dirt
and chionic wofulness that constituted
his face was relieved by a rubicund
nose, which stood giiaid over a mouth
able to span an Alabama walci melon
without a wink of the bh-aied optics
above. He approached our icpoitei ;ts
though death was leading him by one
ear ami the Prince of Daikness by the
other, and in the voice i a man about
to he hung, he mummied, "My friend.
I want you to do me a lar. I haven't
drank am thing but a glass of cider rr
a week, and I haven't had anuhii.g to
eat tinlay. and I have been tning l"
get woik but can't, and a man down to
the railroad said he would give me a
place to sleep, and if ou could only let
me have a few pennies to get some
crackers, for I think I am slaiing ami
can't hold out any loiigei." Ourieporter
icinaiked that it was pietty haul for a
man to starve, but that the hunger of
the tramp was generally tor whisky.aml
not bread: and that only two las ;go
he lent a man thirty cents t buy an
overcoat, and the ungiateful wretch
had gone olT and bought an overdose of
gin. necessitating sum- ovei work by a
policeman and an ocrlure by the Re
corder in the morning. The suspicion
of the tramp's truthfulness involve! in
this f.icetiousness completely overcame
him, and he burst into a llood of tears.
At hist, moved by his appeals, our re
porter ftjut that the man before him
was a healthy-looking man for a wretch
in the last agonies of starvation, and
felt around in his pocket for any stray
change that might have come out of the
last picnic unscathed. After much
searching a solitary si'aer quarter was
discovered, which he handed to the
tramp with the secret satisfaction that
the latter was unconsciously receiving
but -J:) K cents in scrip, owirg to the
present luinous depreciation of silver.
To the tramp, however, it was twent
iice cents, and gratefully bowing L..
thanks, and amid anoth'-r flood of tears
and promises that he would immediate
ly go and buy bread he shuf.Ied intotl.
