Sambo was very fond of going with me to
search for eggs. I was allowed to keep a
few tame bantam fowls and had a nice little

in very high flown names: There was the

idea of leaving Sambo than the thought of
going so far away from home amongst

cheeks when I feacl this extract, in the first

Russia's Ambition.
There ba,n be little doubt that the disturb-
ey ances which have marked events in Bul-
garia during the past weeks are an incident
in of the ancient ambition of of Russia to get
he possession of Constantinople. Those who
to read the history of Russia during the past
, forty years will perceive that she has been
almost continuously, in one way or another,
se aiming at this prize.
on It is a Russian tradition that the Czar,
Of Peter the Great, who really built up the
lepresent empire, and made it a European,
ke instead of an Asiatic State, left in his will
an injunction upon his successors, to at-
• -i• tempt by every means to acquire the Turk-
ish capital. Many poeple doubt if Peter
ever made such a will; but it is quite cer-
tain that his successors have acted as if it ex-
isted, and. as if they were resolved to obey
its command.
The ambition of Russia to make Constan-
he tinople a Russian city, is the key, probably,
to all her foreign policy and military move -
e,. meats.
al She entered upon the Crimean War, and
le thou upon the war of 1877, with tho resolute
he purpose of cosquering the Turk, and rais-
ing aloft the Russian doubled -headed eagle
er on the banks of the Bosphorus. In both a
eases she failed, owing to the oppositiou,
as mainly, of Great Britain. There are many 1
to persons who think that the Russian advance as

Poor Sambo sat down and looked ruefully
at the broken egg, as if ready to cry at t
mischief he had done, and that was the fir

Soon Madame Rachel and he were goo
friends and she would allow him to fetch tl

wings, and laying them upon the dining roo
hearthrug.
Sambo was very partial to white cats
bat had a great dislike, which in a fes
month's time amounted to positive hatret
r colored feline pets.
'al, hen he and I were out walking, if w
1. met any white cat or kitten, Sambo •woul
atop" to tenderly lick her face, often gettin
a terrible scratch in the eye for his cares
However, he would never allow his superio
strength to take advantage of a poor, weak
cat ; but would sit down and blink his poor,
wounded eye, and loOking knowingly out of
the other one, woulalAseein to moralize thus :
" Well, it is certainly strange that pretty,
white pussies will thus reverse the golden
rule -1 suppose it is because the poor little
creatures don't know any better 1"
Seeker,'sthat he was such an admirer o
white cats, I determined to get him a whit
kitten for a playmate and accordingl
begged one from a neighbor. A dear, little,
soft, fluffy creature she was, and we named
her Pearl.
Sambo grew very much attached to her
and would carry her about in his mouth, o
in the round basket which he had icing bee
in the habit of carryingSa and which pussy
often choSe for a resting place.
Unfortunately poor Pearl only lived two
months, dying accidentally from rat poison.
Great was Sairibo's grief ; he howled pit-
ifully when he could not find his little play-
mate
We were quite horrified the day after w
had buried her to see Sambo come trotting
into the sitting room with the little, dead
kitten in his mouth. He had found her
grave, under the nut trees, at the end of the
garden, and it was sad to see the poor clog
gie licking her face and trying to recall hei
back to life.
He seemed so lost without poor Pearl,
that I, not being able to procure another
white cat, begged. a nice, dark tabby kitten.
But I was unfortunate in my selection. Mr.
&Mb() put on a kind of sulky, proud air,
and would not take the slightest notice
of her. He seemed to say, in his expressive
dog language, " I will, have a white pussy to
play with or nothing."
Some two weeks afterwards, when Sambo
and I reached home from school, I found an
important looking basket had just arrived
by the Tysoe carrier, addressed in a bold
hand to nie.
By the mews proceeding from it I knew
it contained a cat, and rather dreaded Sam-
bo's reception of it.
I slowly opened the lid and out jumped a
a largo, white cat with pink eyes.
" xysoe " , ejaculated, for that was the
village, where t'Sek sed the basket came
from, and from tliNVoment we learned to
call the eat " Tya6b," Which finally shreviat-
ed to " Tyce."
Samba's reception of Tysoe was Very good,
for the prior cat being very mtich frightened
at such a huge, black animal, crouched down
upon the Carpet and did not retaliate at his
licks and caresses ; but stibmitted to be
tenderly lifted up in his great mouth and
carried around the room.
Sambo and Tyco grow to be very firm
friends. It was R funny sight to see us three

; It is this ambition of Russia to obtain A
V the ancient seat of the eastern Roman em- a
1) pire which leads her to interfere so often
and so persistently in the affairs of the little w
e States which lie between the Russian front- 0
d ier and the dominions of the Sultan.
g She asserts that she freed the Bulgarians g
a
s• from Turkish tyranny eight years ago ; and
tr
r this she regards as entitling her to say how
and by whom Bulgaria shall be ruled. The
Bulgarian Prince, Alexander, showed signs
of wishing to make his principality a really
independent State; and Russia, fearing, to
love her hold there, caused Alexander to
abandon his throne.
Now that he has abdicated, Russia seems
determined to decide in fact,—though under
f the treaty of Berlin she cannot do so except
e in concert with the other Powers,—who
Y shall be his successor. The Czar even op-
posed the selection of Prince Waldemar, of ,ab
Denmark, the Czarina's own brother, for
the place, apparently more because he was
the choice of the Bulgarian Parliament than to
because the Czar distrusted the Prince. siz
h The other small kingdoms, Roumania, m
Servia and Greece, were formerly very an
friendly to Russia. But the events of the dp
past ten years have arroused in them all am- An
bitions which are inconsistent with those of cr
the Czar. They now look with dread upon fo
the prospect of the extension of the great, of
despotic empire of Russia to the Bosphorus ag
e and the ..Egean ; and feel that their own eY ne
istence as independent kingdoms would be
endangered by such an event.
Meanwhile, we cannot doubt that Russia
purpose is always and resolutely the same
as it has been for two hundred years. As
the Sultan's power becomes more and more
feeble, as he sinks more hopelessly in debt,
as his 0 overnrnent become more corrupt and
incapable, the impatience of Russia to ab-
sorb European Turkey becomes evidently
greater.
It is certain that what has prevented
Russia during the last three months from In

January.
It is said that at Friedrichsruh, Prince
Bisinarck's Lauenburg estate, Forester Hel-
mersdorf's lodge is reported to be haunted,
spirit -mappings not only being heard all over
the house, but flaming swords and other un-
earthly visions being seen which clairvoyant
people pronounce to be the infallible indica-
tions of an impending war. Crowds of pea-
sants fairly beleagued the place at night,
refuse to disperse, The country taverns in
the neighborhood have been nightly crowd,
ed, and are doing it large and bonstantly in-
creasing business, The Iron Chancellor's
arrival from Berlin, it is haped, will put an
end to this nonsense.
The latest method of identifying prisoners,
which has been introduced into France by
M. Alphonse Bertillon, and which is now
successfully practised not only in the chief
French prisons, but in Russia and Japan as
well, is the exact measurement ot the
prisoner on his arrival at the jail. His waist
the length and width of the head, the left
middle finger, the left foot, the outstretched
arms, the three other fingers of the left
hand, the left arm from the elbow to the
ti riSt, and the length and width of the ear
ase measured, and the color of the eyes and
any particularities are noted down. A
photograph is also immediately taken, and
by these means the many- mistakes which
have been Made by trusting to it photo-
grapher only are avoided. The fact that
during the two years since this mode has
been in operation 826 habitual criminals who
presented themselves under an assumed
name have been identified in France shows
that M. Bertillon's method is superior to
any other.
The Far Reaching
Perfume of a goad name heralds the claim
that Putnans's Painless Corn Extractor is a
sure, certain, and painless remedy for corns.
Fifty imitations prove it to be the beat. At
druggists.
Rea, enjoyment consists far more hi the
proper balance of all the faculties than in
the larger development of any one alone.
For instance, the ardent pursuit of know-
ledge, valnable though it be, if carried on to
the exclesion of a due regard for health, or
to the neglect of practical ditties tliat press
upon the conscience, not only defeate what
13 seperior to itself, lint digs away the very
foundation upon which it is standing, and
leaves its vietim it wreck and a failure.,
