It was a time of profound peace in Europe: Just five years Before,. there had been a great war between' two mighty peoples, and it would be five years longer ,before two mighty peoples would be ready for another great war. Statesmen were preparing plots and alliances, and strategists were mapping out campaigns against the countries to- wards which their own governments, were now swearing the most loyal and devoted friendship ; and the great mass of mankind was• busy in the field or in the factory, and that happy section of mankind wbioh had nothing to do had given itself up to enjoyment, • Pails, Naples, Vienna, Rome, and even Berlin were gay. The sterner side of life had turned away. There was not even a hint of a diplomatic un- pleasantness anywhere, and the tele- grams from foreign capitals dealt with nothing but marriages in high life, and balls, and the fine arts, and fetes, and military reviews that menaced no one, and royal speeches intended to conciliate all, Now, the most peaceful and prosper- ous of all the European States was tbe , Grand Duchy of Odenwald. It was a Most fertile country ; its people were models of industry and prudence, and the Grand Duke Frederick was one of the best rulers under whom it had ever been the fate of men to serve. He was the fifteenth Frederick of his line, mid- dle-aged, a bachelor, and a trifle eccen- tric. He was gallant ; but it was well known he meant never to marry. He was enormously wealthy, full of harm- less whims, and of a most kindly and benevolent nature. There were many reasons why, had the Grand Duke been a marrying man, he would have found no great di.Uioulty in securing a.consort, notwithstanding his middle age and his eccentricities. Ile was very rich, owning about half the land of :his Grand. Duchy ; he was ami- able, unexacting, and had no fault be- yond a slight disposition to linger over the after-dinner wine -flagon; he was liberal without extravagance, and had the reputation of possessing enormous savings; and last, but not least, he Was known to own one of the finest collec- tions ollecttions of jewels in the world. When Frederick XIV. had died, news- papers devoted a whole column to his jewels alone. But I+'rederiek XV. had more than doubled the number in bis time ; and now the question was, whe- ther the Odenwald was the fourth or fifth most valuable collection of prec- ious stones in the world. The Oden- welders held it was the fourth, while those others who claimed to have the fourth declared the Odenwald to be no better than a good fifth. But all agreed that the Grand Duke Frederick's col- lection deserved to be spoken of in terms of the highest respect. In this time of peace the Continental correspondents of the London daily newspapers had to fall back on all kinds of unusual topical to interest folks now that nothing of great moment was go- ing on abroad, and, amongst other things a long a coon o the o f mo s j wels had lately appeared. Circumstances follow- ing soon after the appearance of that article, which was translated into many of the important European papers, fixed the history and fate of one stone in the head of most of the vast horde of read- ers on this Continent. At the time the article was written for the newspaper, the stone, a large ruby, formed the pinnacle in the Grand Ducal crown, It was the largest ruby known, and without a flaw. No other stone in the Odenwald collection could compare with it, and people came long distances to see Fuego del Animo, as the not be estiem matedcalled. value It could had never changed hands for mere gold. Its history was as eventful as that of an empire, and its vicissitudes had been more numerous than those of a hundred knights errant.It was known in Asia be- fore the Christian era began, and it had coffee into Europe through Africa. The 'history of Fuego del Animo be- gan in Tibet, from the capital of which —Lassa—it was stolen about the seventh century, and carried down south into India. Thence it found its way into Arabia about the tenth century.In the i twelfth century the Turks took t with them into Egypt., thence across the north of Africa to Spain. ' Here it fell into the hands of the Christians on the expul- sion of the Moors in the fifteenth cen- tury, and here it got its name, Fuego del Animo (fire of the soul). From Spain it passed into the Low Countries, and from the low countries to Odenwald in the eighteenth century. And from Odenwald it was stolen dur- ing the Great Peace. That was one of the sensations of the Great Peace, and. the wonder of it 'lasted much longer than nine days, ay, than nine months. The great gem disappeared as absolute- ly as though it had sunk beneath the surface of the water in mid -ocean, as though it had been drawn up from the face of the earth into the planet Mars from .which, in its eastern. legend, it was supposed to have fallen to earth during a great thunder -storm three thousand years ago. The , circumstances surrounding . the jewel and the robberywere briefly these:se: Thee great Odenwald jewelswere ke t' w d in an iron cage in a detached' tower of the Castle of Odenwald above the city of Odenwald, capital of the Grand Duchy of the same name. A captain`s: guard. was always on duty at the Castle, and a sergeant's guard, two of whom were sentries, was always on duty . at the jewel -tower. The two sentinels walked upand down ate tower. each side of the r The remaining men of the guard sat in the watch -house, which lay against one side of of the tower, close to the only en-. trance, - The jewel -tower consisted of two chambers, one on the ground -floor, where the old man in -charge of the gems lived, and one chamber; above, that in which the regalia was kept. The manner of the robbery was sim- ple.

In In the midst of all these djffieulties time it came to be the despair of the came an incident which destroyed near-, police and the admiration and envy of ly all the hope of peace that remained, all the thieves of Europe. Some time izt July a, revolt broke out The exceptional .circumstance which in Bulgaria, no greater or more signifn caused the crown to be out of its proper pant than those which had, taken place ease during the evoniug and night of en a dozen other localities, but the Ot- the robbery was connected with a young toenail Cabinet, becoming frightened et Englishman named Walter Aubyn. He the spread ,of the insurreoticn in the was .an artist and amateur photograph- districts far removed from the original er, and bad got permission to photo- scene of trouble, turned loose an un - graph the crown of Odenwald. It was bridled and ferocious soldiery on the late in the day when he arrived with his order and his camera at the jewel - tower. He showed his order, got his camera up -stairs, and had everything ready— the crown in position, and even the sen- sitised plate in the camera—when the old custodian,who happened to be an ex -sergeant of the Grand Ducal Guard, uttered a loud. oath, and ordered the young photographer to halt instantly at his peril. The order had been dated for the next day, and the rigid old dis- ciplinarian would not allow a single thing more to be done or undone until ben.e Ch brass cap had not been a re- moved moved from the lens. Aubyn could do nothing for it but grumble his disappointment in English. This relieved his mind. without annoy- ing any one; for the old sergeant knew no language but his own and French. Then Aubyn withdrew, The old man was sorely. vexed at not having seen from the first that the order was for next day. Ile took a chair up to the jewel -room, and resolved, by way of expiating his sin, to sit up with the regalia all night. It bad. been a dark gloomy day and as night came on rain began to fall. The old man sat a long time, and would no doubt have carried out his purpose of remaining up all night, only that his little grandson Fritz came up in the dark to say his mother, the sergeant's widowed daughter, was below, and wished to see him. In the dark the boy knocked. up against the camera, and,, putting up his hand, caught some-. thing that twisted round, slipped through his fingers, and fell on to the floor with a metallio rattle. ' The old man locked the door of the jewel -chamber and went down, intend- ing to be back in a few minutes to put the crown into its cage, and resume his vigil. The old man's daughter had a long story to tell bf law proceedings threat- ened by the representatives of her late husband; and when the stories of her troubles was at last brought to an end, the rain continued to fall, and she could not set out on her homeward way. The outer door of the tower was shut. There was, the old man thought, no one in the tower but bis daughter, his little grandson Fritz, and himself. The jewel - room above was securely locked, and there were sentinels and the guard. with- out. To his mind nothing could be more secure. So be smoked his pipe and chat- ted with his daughter until a very late hour. The sound of the rain, and the noise made by Fritz playing around him. and their own voices, helped father and daughter not to hear any unusual move- ments in the chamber above. (To be Continued,) THE LAST GREAT CONFLICT THE TURCO-RUSSIAN WAR OF 1877 AND ITS CONSEQUENCES. A Tremendous Conflict That Brought No Results to the Victors—blow ItMMMI& Lost tier Share or the spoils. The possibility that at any moment a furious war may break out in East- ern Europe over the Turkish question recalls, with some vividness, the foot that just about twenty years ago the last great struggle between Russia and Turkey began, a struggle that more than once during its course threatened to involve the whole civilized world in strife. Like not a few of the great wars in history, its origin was comparatively insignificant. • It began in Herzego- vina, a moun.i district between Bos- nia and Albania; for ages noted. for the turbulent character of its population, who had never been known quietly to submit to any authority, and the oc- casion was a dispute between a Turk- ish tax collector and a Herzegovinian blacksmith about the age of the lat- ter's daughter. The collector in the course of the argument offered to the girl a gross insult, whereupon the en- raged blacksmithstruckhim dead with a single blow of his hanuner and fled with his family to the mountains, where he was joined by malcontents ma and m the standard of revolt, was raised against the Ottoman Government, This was in Tune, 1875, and before a month had elapsed from the date of the col- lector's death the whole of Herzego- vina was in open rebellion. For a time the Turkish Government made light of the matter, but by the end• of the sum- mer the insurrection was acknowledged to be a matter of some consequence, as the rebels defeated one Turkish force after another dispatched against them, and ,DEFIED ALL EFFORTS to storm their .mountain strongholds. Great excitement prevailed in Bosnia. Albania and Bulgaria, and the leading spirits among the European provinces of Turkey, hoping that the day of de- liverance from Turkish rule had come at last, began agitating the question of joining in the war on their own ac- count, while in Servia there was the liveliest sympathy for the, rebels and as much aid and comfort as could, under the circumstances, be extended. During the severe winter of the Bal- kan mountains military operations were atmosts suspended, but early in the spring of 1876 the concentration of large bodies of Turkish troops on the borders of the _disturbed districts causedgrave alarm to both Servia and; Montenegro, and, representations to the Porte having 'e- been 'made in vain, both .countries de- clarbd .war- against- Turkey, , In less than a' year from..the beginnm of the contest it, , g hadthusmvolved evolved: `the whole __ of the Balkan regions, while all the rest! of European e a Turkey nseemedo thei P npont of open outbreak. The Turkish army was unmediately raised tb a war,foot- ing by calling out all the reserves, and over' 400,000 0 men wereput .. in the field. and forwarded to the Balkans.' In the meantime the Ambassador of the Pow- ers b ie t d hem sive is e us s s n (farts to com-a pees matters and prevent a further P spread of the trouble, bat faience their the one of k ice, ceediil �ffiouli fr the 'ala dissensions, which' culeliom n of �in`� � helpless inhabitants tef a peaceful dis- trict, and the result was the BULGARIAN MASSACRE. Over 15,000 persons perished during this butchery, and the fairest part of the province was laid waste by the Kurdish and Circassian horse deputed to do the bloody work. Many weeks elapsed ere the fuel ex- tent of the massacre was known, but eehen the details were revealed a thrill o horror ran throughout all Christen- dom. But the Autumn was far ad- vanced, and during tbe winter nothing was done save by the diplomats, who still kept upthew f he efforts to restore peace, but, athey themselves confessed, with little hope of success. With the spring came general concentration of Russian armies along the Danube and in Asia, and on April 23, 1877, the Rus- sian Ambassador left Constantinolite, and war was declared, the Czar appeal- ing to the world ire behalf of the recti- tude of his cause against the Turks. The movements of the Russian forces were directed against the Turkish do- minions in both Europe and Asia, for simultaneously the Russian armies en- tered Turkey in Europe and crossed the boundaries of Armenia. By the begin- ning of Jua:te the. European forces of Russia were concentrated on the Lower Danube, but the river had not been crossed, and it was estimated that if it were properly defended the lives of 100,- 000 men would be sacrificed before a footing could be establisbed on the southern bank, The marvelous inca- d pacity goodffortunTurks, u ft he Russians, for, while the Ottoman Generals were watching a demonstration in one di- rection, a bridge was hastily construct- ed, a division of the Russians with ca- valry and artillery crossed and took up a favorable position before the Turks knew what was going on. When they found out they made strenuous efforts to retrieve their fault, and a severe bat- tle ensued, but re -enforcements kept pouring across and the baffled Turks were forced to retreat and seek a better position to give battle, Then ensued a series of conflicts in the plains of Bulgaria, none of them decisive, but each ending by pushing the Turks a little further back and bringing the Russians a little nearer to the great line of Turkish defense, the tremendous BALKAN RANGE that divided the territory between the Danube and the Mediterranean into nearly equal parts. Leas than a month after the Russians had crossed the Dan- ube, Gen. Gourko, at the head of a strong body of cavalry, with a few field batteries, made a raid through one of the Balkan passes and penetrated to the plains of Roumelia, but as a mili- tary movement the excursion amounted to nothing. By the close of the season the Russian Generals had succeeded iu dividing the Turkish forces, one portion holding the Balkan passes, while the other, under the noted Osman Pasha. was left in the Bulgarian plains, and finally was shut up m Plevna. Very severe conflicts occurred in the Schipke e' -'as, where G"'trko had fortified him- self after beidL expelled from Roume- lie, the Turks recognizing the import- ance of the position as the key to the plain sof Adrianople, and making .des - ate efforts to drive out the Russians. All, however, were unsuccessful, the pass was held in spite of the tremen- dous forces brought against it, while the Turkish army in the plains of Bul- garia was so placed that it could not co-operate with that advancing from the south. By the beginning of September Plevna was completely invested, an army of 120,000 men surrounding it on all sides, and then began one of the most heroic defenses of the century. The Turkish army in Plevna did not exceed 30,000 men, but with this force Osman Pasha defended the place with success until December 9, when the provisions gave out, and a movement of some kind or a surrender became necessary. Gath- ering all his forces, Osman marched out of Plevna and made a tremendous ef- fort to break through the Russian lines and escape, but as soon as this movement was discovered the Russians came in overwhelming force, and, after a bloody battle, Osman was surrounded and forced to capitulate. Ile sur- rendered less than 30,900 men, but the event was recognized as ending the war north of the Balkans. While these stirringv events is were go- ing forward in Euroe, history was be- ing made in Armenia. The Russian advance into Asia Minor had been con- temporaneous neons with that.into European Turkey, but the Turkish forces at liars and Erzeroum developed unexpected fighting qualities and the Russians were quickly checked, while, at the same time, A `PIERCE INSURRECTION broke out among the Moslem subjects of the Czar in Circassia and Georgia, and the Turkish Government, though sorely: pressed at home, sent troops and money into the disturbed district, to aid the insurgent Mohammedans. The Russian army in Armenia was thus placed between two fires, and for a time was in a very precarious situation. The natural indolence and inefficiency of the Turkish officers, however, prevented their taking advantage of the Russian distress, Time was lost, heavy re- enforcementswere rd e e puri led forward from Russia,'t e rebellion the Cau- casus was uppressed with a ferocity worthy of the Turks themselves. Kars was stormed and taken, Erzeroum fell and one-half of Armenia was overrun by the Cossack cavalry, so that when the spring of 1878 arrived the Rus sians were in proper position to occupy the greater part of Asia Minor, while there was no Turkish force in the field to oppose them. ' The severity of the Balkan winter though it caused the death. 'through cold and ex, osure, of � thousa ds of men on both sides, had not been sufficient to stop • the advance of the victorious Rus- sian 3,us si n arm ui y `Pouring through the ; pass- es: of the Balkans, the Russians swarm- ed down into the plains of Adrianople, defeated Suleiman Pasha, the Turkish Commander -in -Chief, in two great bat- tles, and before the advent • of s ring had occupied nearly ' thewholep: ,Eti- nee . of p Y the', Turkey, while the _'remains; of the Turkish army had been driven to the Aegean Sea, and were' being trans- ported byt . dwater for the' defenseof.the P buying the `entire' winter the repres- entatives of the Powers at Constanti n le had not relaxed' their efforts' in behalf if of peace, but the Czar had. a •- p h ni forml declined to treat with them y c w hand ersistently refused 'mediation.

The measure was not taken a moment too' soon, for the Russian forces, had penetrated to the Aegean on the south and to the Darda' F nelies on the east, and from the heights where they were encamped the domes and minarets of the City of Constantine could he plaini,y, seen. Thus summarily halted, the Czar could do .nothing less than treat for peace. Negetiattons were entered up- on, -on, an armistice declared and the treaty of San Stefano, givipg Russia nearly the whole :of Armenia and placing the Balkan provinces under the control of the Czar, was hurriedlyprepared and signed. Had it been alowed to stand we sheuld have heard nothing of the recent massacres in Armenia, for that territory would now be under a Gov- ernment nominally Christian and in- finitely n f' ' lice better a Turkey. in be ie t that of Y than But the treaty of San Stefano grantd Russia more than the powers were will- ing to concede. Great Britain was un- willing to see Russia get anything, while Germany was also extremely jeal- ous of the growth of. Russian power in Southeastern Europe, and Austria was placed in deadly peril. So, ' after long negotiations the conference of Berlin was called and met ,Tune 13, 1878, at whioh all e the affairsof Southeastern, h Europe were overhauled and readjusted, and the Czar was cheated out of the fruits of his victory, After a. war last- ing 322 days, the "loss of over 100,000 men, the only territory gained by Rus- sia was a slice of Armenia. Servia was made independent in name as well as in fact, Bulgaria was erected into a principality, tributary to the Sultan, and Bosnia was coollyhanded over to Austria, in payment for the Emperor's compliance with the English demands on Russia. The treaty satisfied no- body, for Austria wanted more, Ger- many was not in a position to get any- thing and Great Britain wanted to es- tablish a protectorate over Syria, but got only Cyprus. The Balkan States and Greece demanded the whole of Eu- ropean Turkey and had to be spoken to very sharply before relenquishing their demands, while even Italy,__ jeal- ous of English supremacy in the Medi- terranean, made a good deal of trouble before final pacification was effected. The Sultan, who had lost over 150.000 men in killed, wounded and prisoners, besides being made bankrupt by the war and the indemnity, promised all sorts of reforms in his empire, and among them those in Armenia, which, through non-performance, are the di- rect cause of the present trouble there. None of them were _ put into effect, and the massacres by Turks and Kurds prove that it is the intention of the Ottoman Government to exterminate the Armenians rather than grant them the better government that was solemn- ly promised to them nearly twenty years ago. ASTONISHING SALMON. How an Impatient Fisherman Lost Hls Keys. It is a good maxim to have patience with a weeded fish; indeed, this virtue often stands in good stead, says a writer. I once knew a friend of mine put to seri- ous inconvenience for want of it. He had hooked a heavy salmon, and the fish lay down and sulked, as salmon will do once in half a dozen seasons, though not nearly so often if properly handled, as some people suppose. My friend was a good fisher and allowed his fish to take no liberties ; nevertheless this salmon lay down in a deep black pool. Every known expedient was tried. to stir him ; stones were thrown in—the only result was that the fish took leis- urely turns and returned to his strong- hold. The angler got below him, above him, alongside of him, and pulled on him to the limit of the strength of his tackle—all to no purpose. A fine after- noon was ebbing away and fish in the river were on the job. What was to be done. A bright thought occurred to the sportsman. He had a bunch of keys in hes pocket—the keys of his most sacred repositories. They were on a ring that opened like a hinge. Fitting this round the butt of his rod, without having the patience to remove the keys, he ran it down over the point, and the whole bunch went rattling down the line and lodged on the salmon's nose. It had a splendid effect. Away went the fish like a dog with a tin kettle at its tail ; 20, 30, yards of line whizzed from the reel, and then—there came disaster. The point of the rod flew u ; the fish was gone; back came the flies, but back did not come the keys. Thirty seconds would have sufficed to remove the a k Cys before using the ring ; fish and ring might indeed, have been lost; but the keys would have been safe. A Serious Question.

In Bed 5 Months—Had Given Up All Boge of Getting Well --A Remedy round -^It Last to which 46 I Owe My Life." Science has fully established the fact that all the nervous energy of our bodies is generated by nerve centres located near the base of the brain. When the supply of nerve force has been diminished either by excessive physical or mental labours, or owing to a derangement of the nerve centres, we are first conscious of a languor or tired and worn-out feeling, then of a mild form of nervousness, headache, or stomach trouble, which is perhaps suc- ceeded by nervous prostration, chronic indigestion, and dyspepsia, and a gen- eral sinking of the whole system. • In this day of hurry, fret and worry, there are very few who enjoy perfect health; nearly everyone has some trouble, an ache, or pain, a weakness, a nerve trouble, something wrong with the stomach and bowels, poor blood, hearb disease, or sick headache 1 .I of which are brought on by a lack of nervous energy to enable the 'different organs of the body to perform their respective work. South American Nervine Tonic, the marvellous nerve food and health giver, is asatisfying success, awondrous boon to tired, sick, and overworked men and women, who have suffered years of discouragement and tried all manner of remedies without benefit. It is a modern, a scientific remedy, and in its wake follows abounding health. It is unlike all other remedies in that it isnot designed si nee to act on the different organs affected, but by its direct action on the nerve centres, which are nature's little batteries, it causes an increased supply of nervous energy to be generated, which in its C. turn thoroughly' oils, as it were, the machinery of the body, thereby en- abling it to perform perfectly its dif- ferent functions, and without the slightest friction. If you have been reading of the re- markable cures wrought by South .American Nervine, accounts of which we publish from week to week, and are still sceptical, we ask you to in- vestigate them by correspondence, and become convinced that they are true to the letter. Such a course may save you months, perhaps years, of suffer- ing and anxiety, The words that follow are strong, but they emanate from the heart, and speak the sentiments of thousands of women in the United States and Can- ada who know, through experience, of the healing virtues of the South American Nervine Tonic.
