The Russian policy is to abstain from stirring up revolution, notwithstanding Turkish action in Cau- Luxdox, May 26. A Vienna dispatch to the HsKssays the proclamation of a holy war looks like yielding to the popular de mand, which has been growing louder daily, that the Saltan join the army. The pro posal that the Sultan quit Constantinople has naturally raised a question whether it is safe to leave behind a Parliament which is becoming more difficult to manage ; and which, moreover, has the whole population of Constantinople with it. No wonder, therefore, that Constantinople for the last few days has been filled with rumors of impending desolation, a roup d' etat, etc. It is felt eves at the palace that Mukhtar Pasha's incapacity necessitates his recall, yet the first attempt of the Chamber, in thin case, to directly influence the course of affairs, may mature the Porte's resolution to check interference by a prorogation at least.

A weekly newspaper says if understands that Sir Arnold Kimball, British military attache, gives a most deplorable account of the Turkish armies in Asia, which he represents as lacking -everything an army should have, except courage and patience.

The attrac tion if Tea Broeck's race against time prov ed potent, and the largest attendance ever beheld at the course was the result. There were perhaps eight thousand people oa the grounds. In the grand stand were elegantly dressed ladies without number. The track had been carefully prepared, aad the Mia sboae brightly, the weather was delightful, aad everything conspired to make the day joyous and memorable. TEN BROECK AGAINST TIME. Tite grand event of the track yoterday was Ten Broeck' mile dash against the fast est time on record 1:41 It was this, more than anything else, which drew out the immense crowds that filled the grand stand and overflowed the grounds. Every body was on tiptoe of expectation, and the excitement ran to fever-heat. In the pools I the betting was almost even, but it inclined ! nuficientlv tward one side to show that there j were numbers of experienced betters who ! believed that I lie splendid Kenturkv horse P1""? u w I 1.1 -1 x i ; At . i l .- l. l been laid out for him. Supreme confidence was felt in TEN BROECK ABILITY to beat the world in a race in which con tinued speed was the main requirement, but when it came to a mile dash hie more prudent admirers prefered to wait for a precedent before scattering too freely their money on assurances of success. At a little alter 3 o'clock Ten Broeck, ridden by William Walker, one of the moat ruccess fui jockeys on the turf,stepped ap the track past the judged tand, and were greeted with loud applause. Early Light and St. Louis were run with him, the former to the first half mile and the latter to.the second, also made their appearance, and Early Light walked up alongside of T1IK MONARCH. The first start was a good one, and as the i wo paw ine iaaci, wiui len if meek a little ahead, the drum tapiwd, the starter cried go, and thev went, the one. as never a horse went before, and the other in a gallant attempt to perform the ini possible task of keeping up. Past the first quarter they swept, Ten Broeck increasing his lead and dashing with wonderful pjieed toward the half, where St. Louis was wait ing to join him. Before he got there St. Louis started on the third quarter, and the phenomenon on seeing a horse ahead of of him moved Harper' pet to a fresh BUB.fr OF SPEED. As he stormed into the home stretch the excitement and enthusiasm increased. Kidded hands waved like handkerchiefs and ragged boys waved ragged hat ; manly lungs sounded congratulatory cheers and fair throats swelled as though they would like to do the same if decorum were not tiiich a trvant, and amidst it all Ten Broeck earlier than the time be had started out to beat.

The horses were also saved, and the wrecked wagon recovered from the bank of the stream below, where it had drifted and lodged. Xajftktof laeBoad. Oa last Saturday aight while Mr. Wm.

The Wright county JIoeie-Talk records the death of Walter J. Mizell. under indictment for the murder of Samuel S. Ferguson, in 1872. Ferguson was mysteriously shot while plowing in his field, and Mizell's re lations with him not being friendly, he was supected of the murder. A warrant was issued tor his arrest, but he could not be found. The ensuing grand jury found an indictment against him for.murder. He was finally arrested, three years afterward, in Texa?, and taken back to Wright county for trial. He was admitted to bail, and the case was continued from term to term, he promptly appearing at each court to which his case was continued. But life seemed to him a .burden and society had no charms. At length death claimed him and his venue has been changed to a tribunal higher than human judgment, and from which there is no appeal.

Tha Girl With a Hola in Har Stookina; A Diaappoiatad Ad mmirar of a Prattr Ankle What a Touna; Man law. It is perhaps no discredit to the average aa that his heart goes out warmly to a pretty foot and a neatly tapered ankle. Nor is it strange that men will resort to a great many devices to procure a sight, of these pretty female continuations. But the success of a rate having these KNI is VIKW does not always turn out as satisfactorily as the party had reason to expect. A case in point illustrates this fact. Last Sunday evening a couple of bewitching girls were promenading Ohio street with their sweet hearts. The air was soft and balmy, and the glowing sunset had flung a puqile col oring through the leafy trees, mnrmurou with the music that lovers always delight to hear. The girls were young ami inex perienced the youths were FREttt AND ARDKNT, and they lent up against each other xs they slowly paced the sidewalk with the raptur ous delight of mating turtle doves. What enchanting visions cm sod their minds nt little homes, just large euntmh for two, or two and a half to dwell in, it is no purpose of the reporter to say. Hut icr- haps somethiug of the kind was Im-y at their hearts, for the young lady's head- the foremnot couple would occasionally fall with a caressing motion on the shoulder of her escort and her red pouting lip would emit hot furnace like sighs, which, while perfumed like the gales of Araby the Blessed had a tendency to SCORCH THK CHEEKS which bent toward them. Finally they ap proached an oa-set in the sidewalk near where a paralel ditch narrow and deep, suggestod the idea that he would tempt his sweet-heart to jump it. Ala! if the young lady had only known how that un lucky jump would dispel his dreams of love. But she wa full of life and vivacity and the reaction from her recent suscepti ble condition had set the blood dancing thrnuch her veins with lightning like ra pidity. ''Jump!" of coiiKe die would. The young limb werethrilling with excitement, and she bounded over the gutter withi leap as free and daring as a mettled racer. But an envious gust of wind lifted her skirt a little too high, and while the rounded ankle showed fair and plump, it disclosed xs well, a stocking just the least bit soiled j WITH A HOLE IN IT. Through the envious rent there was no glimpse of a foot like snow, hut a brown and rusty skin such as Audmt might have won when old Jupiter chased the Grecian nymph across the gian .ivund. With that vision passed away all the IoverV dreams of happiness. He had ex pected to ee an ankle so charming so be wilderingly beautiful in its fatitlesxne&, that the disappointment fell upon him like a IIAION OF COLD WATKK from a second story window. He declares the match is oft,.and that nothing in the world would induce him to marry a girl with a hole in her stocking through which he can catch glimpses ot rusty feet. Pethaps he is right, but it will be a great blow to the vouag ladv. OILMOBJS THE FRAUD.

And it is really too bad ; for (Silmore has such an infinity of cheek and boundless audacity that he might to lie preserved as a natural curiosity. Fatal Casualty. The Bates County JI(rr,rd publishes the subjoined account of a fatal accident which recently occurred near Papinville : About ten days ago, two boys, Chsrley Whittenbach and James Lambton, went squirrel hunting in the timber above Pa pinville. Each had a gun and when about two miles from town, Whittenbach got tired and concluded to return home. One of the boys (we did not leant which) wanted to exchange guns, and the other objected. A scalie endued and Whittenbach's gun went off by the hammer's catching in his coat, infiicting a mortal wound on Lambton. He told Whittenbach that he was killed and requested him to go for a wagon and take him home. Whittenbach ran to town as quickly as he could but when a party re tamed, he was dead, being already stiff. The charge took effect a little to one side aad joat above the groin. As Lambton is der-d, the account of the whole affair m as given by Whittenbach, bat, so far as be know, there is bo reason to doubt his statesaeats. It is a sad affair aad is aa additional proof of the folly of being careless with firearms. ABadCaae.

The facts ia the case bricfiy summarised are as follows: The parties have resided intliiscounty for many years, and weremarried in 1874, three years ago. the luisbjiul was living with bis parents ami took bis wife to live in the same house. Front th? first the Robinson fldirs looked down iiihui the voitusr wit' and Ireatrd her with S-Oi:N AXtfiXTKMKC. Nevertheless she bore it quietly and en - treated her husband to take her away. He had promised to build a house in the spi ing and after her child wxs born she reminded himof that promise. He refused to listen to her, remarking that nhe would hiw to live in the house with his parents, if she lived with him. Fually his mother drove her out of the hoiie, and refused to permit her to tav there anv longer. .She went to her fathers and sent for her husband. lie rv fusnl to come.

The child had beea partiea larly interested in the elephant, aad his large, faa-like ears was a source ef incress iag wonder. Eugene had taken a seat right ia front of the little fellow, i thinking of cultivating a brief acauatat- aace with the mother, whe was yosmg pretty, whea be was startled by tka whis- per: "Mamma, is that gentlemaa playiag ele- phsat?"

Ha Deladea a Liberty Lawy ar witk Hopes of Hidden Treaamre, aad BrwakaHiethaokleaiaan libit for Liberty. One of the boldest strikes ever made for liberty was made by a eagre from Clay county. He is a roegh, brawny athlete, about 30 years of age, aad has just keen sentenced to the Missouri State peniten- tiary for a period of three years. Yester- dar he came over tlu river ia charge of the Sheriff of Clay cosaty, aad as the train for the East oa the Missouri Pacific would not leave until 5 o'clock, it became necessary to hold the convict in ; jail from 10 until 4 30. He was placed ia the city calaboose. There came over with the darkey a young lawyer from Liberty, who had defended him in his late trial He had assured his legal adviser that he had $500 buried in the vicinity of Ken t nedv's ice house, in the eastern portion of 1 the city, and promised to give it up to him if l,c would accompany him to Kansas City. On arriving in this city the convict accompanied by Lawyer Burroughs, Cap!, Mallov, ot the M.P. police force, started ( forth in an express wagon, and the convict , wa3 t to wotk to dig. He worked awhile i and then gave up the job and all returned j to the Court House, where the convict nent to jail, while the captain of the police and the disgusted attorney went across the street. The strangest part of the story is yet to be told. Whea the negro was placed in the calaboose his hands were handcuffed together with patent handcuff and his feet were manacled with shackles a half an inch in thickness. When the door wan opened to take him forth he was discovered free from restraint, with all his chains broken literally broken not cut, lying upon the floor. The breakage of the irons all of them of the latest patent, and best of iron is a marvel and a mystery. The convict had no tools and there was not the least sign of a file upon the irons. They were broken squarely in two by sere physical strength. It will require extraor dinary watching to keep that convict in the Pen for three Tears. 8ILVEB. A Mid Within Two Mil or Fort Scott.
