Hardis- tay, lopking up from his seat bv the fire. " Haah't you better wait till Cousin Jack comes, and tells you what he's been seeing for the last eighteen months with Capt. Nareli ? That'll be hearing!" " No, no, uncle," cry three voices in shrill protest; "we want a story now!" ** Well, then, I suppose you must have it," says the Captain, with a chuckle, taking Alice on his knee, while Tom ana Hetty take their places at his feet.; "but I can tell you, it is pleasanter to talk about these things beside a warm fire, with a good supper on the table, than when spars and stays are all sheeted with ice, and the huge, dim^giants of ice­ bergs are looming all around you through the darkness, and you have to keep the deck four hours together, with your eyes dropping out of your head for want of sleep, and the bitter wind and sleet tearing the very afriti off your face." Alice shudders and nestles closer to her uncle's breast. going to tell you a story which will show you that voyages of discovery are not always such good fun as you seem to think. " On the 11th of June, 1583, a small squadron sailed out of Cawsand bay-- five ships, carrying 260 men--the largest only 200 tons' burden, the smallest not more ten (!)--such craft as our big steamers nowadays would hang over their sides for quarter-boats. But it was just such cockboats as these which discovered America, and shuttered the pride of the invincible armada. " Many a man stood watching them from the beach, as they melted into the blue haze that covered the meeting of sea and sky; for, in those days it was no light thing to plunge into 'unknown seas' which are now mapped out and fathomed, and traversed by telegraph ca­ bles, and crossed by scores of steamers every month. For in those days, men believed in sea-serpents, dog-headed men, and headless monsters with eyes in their breasts, and other horrid things which have never existed, and I hope neverjwill. And,* besides these imagin­ ary perils, there were real ones in abundance--cruel Spaniards in the West Indies, and fierce savages in North Amer­ ica--hurricanes and calms, icebergs and deadly fevers, and many more dangers besides. *' Among the men who looked wistful­ ly after the disappearing ships was a tall, handsome man, whose dark, lus­ trous eyes were clouded with bitter dis­ appointment, for he had hoped to sail with the adventurous fleet, and only the Queen's express order withheld him. But he, before his life ended, was to do deeds that shpuld never be forgotten, and to perish at last by a yet sadder and darker doom, for his name was Walter Baleigh. " And beside him, perhaps, may have stood (for they were men who always liked to be present when great deeds were doing) sturdy Francis Drake, with his brown hail curling crisply round his granite-hewn face; and grim old Haw­ kins, twisting the ends of his bushy beard; and stoutj Martin Frobisher, with the healthy brown of the sea upon his bold, bluff visage; and brave John Davis, whose name still lives in the soli­ tudes of the Arctic ocean, and many a brave man more. " And so the little fleet went gallantly forth into the pathless sea, taking with them, in addition to the actual neces­ saries of their voyage, ' music in good variety, together with morrice-dancers, hobby-horses, and May-like conceits, to delight the savage people, whom we intended to win by all fair means pos­ sible!'*" "What funl" cried Tom; "fancy a Jack-in-the-green among the Indians! It would ' astonish the natives' a bit, I fancy!" "But, resumed the Captain, solemnly, "there was a doom upon the noble en­ terprise, as there is upon aU{p:eat under­ takings too lightly and hastily ventured upon. There's nothing upon earth needs more care and judgment̂ ttsl know well) than the picking of men f̂or a long voyage; and here it had been done so carelessly that mischief was not slow to follow. The sailors were a rough, mutinous, piratical set, got together at haphazard, just as they of­ fered. The mechanics were every bit as bad. The gentlemen (what few there were) thought more of making their fort­ unes than of doing their work, so that jGu S6S, it was a bad lookout for the commander." "And who was the oommander?" asked Tom, eagerly. " You shall hear presently, my boy. Well, before they had been two days at sea their troubles began. The crew of the Baleigh, their largest vessel, either found, or pretended to find, symptoms of contagious sickness on board, and back they went to Plymouth, leaving the other four ships to shift for themselves." " The cowards !" shouted Tom, " they deserved a good rope's-end all around. " And should have had it if /had been aboard of them," said Capt. Hardistay, grimly. "Well, those that were left had a long spell of bad weather which lasted for days and days, and then all the bad metal of the crew came out. The skulk­ ers shirked their work, and the quarrel­ some ones got to fighting among them­ selves, and the poor commander, too brave and pure, minded himself to see what a pack of ruffians he had got about him, kept a slacker hand over them than he should have done, till the mischief got beyond bounds altogether. Good, gentle, noble-hearted fellow ! what evil fate picked him out for such a venture as that ? It's heart-breaking to read how, as misfortune after misfortune fell upon him, he still bore up gallantly to the very last,'hoping against hope that, even with the worthless tools he had, he might yet accomplish the work given him to do. Many a time, in reading that story, have I wished that Drake or old Sir John Hawkins had been there in his place, just for five minutes, to give the mutin­ ous rascals what they deserved." " Ay, Drake would have done it in a minute !" cried Tom, warmly; "he was the boy for that sort of thing." " Well," pursued the Captain, " through storms and fogs, and mutinies, and troubles of all kinds, the brave com­ mander at last brought his four ships to the coast of what is now Nova Scotia, and, sailing wearily across the Bay of Fundy, cast anchor in the harbor of St. John. But even before they got there the crew of the Swallow had shown what might be expected of them by Ehindering a French fishing vessel of ail er stores, taking away even the sails and rigging, and leaving the poor creat­ ures to perish miserably hundreds of miles from land. * "When they reached St. John the commander, seeing his men disheartened and out of humor, called them together and made a speech to encourage them, after which, standing at his tent-door, with the great white waste of snow all around as far as the eye could reach, he read his commission, empowering him to possess and colonize that coast, known and unknown, and that commission was given by Queen Elizabeth to Sir Hum­ phrey Gilbert!" " I thought so ?" cried Hetty, clapping her hands. " I knew you meant him, uncle. We've just been reading about him with Miss Marsden, in our big history." "But after that," continued the Cap­ tain, " everything went wrong. A plot was discovered to seize the ships while the commander and his officers were ashore, and sail away for England, leav­ ing the leaders to shift, for themselves. Then, finding themselves detected, the rascals boarded a fishing-bark, put the crew ashore, and stole away to sea. And after that, desertions, and quarrels, and troubles of every kind multiplied daily, till at length poor Sir Humphrey, almost distracted to see his grand enterprise so shamefully ruined, put the sick men and most of mutineers aboard the Swallow, and sent her home to England, leaving himself with three ships, and those, too, sorely under-manneq. "Then northward they went again, those three doomed vessels, with death and destruction haunting them still. Off the coast of Newfoundland their larp-fst. remaining ship, the Delight, struck on an unknown shoal and went to pieces ; and, of all the crew, only fourteen, hag­ gard and wasted as corpses, reached laud at last. The Captain, Maurice Browne, refused to leave his ship, and was seen for the last time by the departing crew knee-deep in water on the rending deck, with the great, white waves roaring and lashing around him, looking death in the face like a true Englishman." "Poor main!" said Alice, pityingly, with a momentary dimness in her bright blue eyes. "Then," pursued the Captain, "£he spirit of the few good men that were left gave way at last, and they persuaded the commander to put about and make for England before the destruction came upon all alike. ' In which very moment of winding about,' says Mr. Hayes, 'we beheld close alongside a very lion in shape, hair and color, not swimming, but sliding on the water with his whole body, who passed along, turning his head to and fro, gaping wide with ugly demonstrations of long teeth and glaring eyes; and to bid us farewell he sent forth a horrible voice, roaring and bel­ lowing as doth a lion.' " And, after that, the end came all too soon. The crew of the Golden Hind, who survived to tell the dismal story, brought word how Sir Humphrey chival­ rously went on board of the little Squir­ rel, strained and overloaded as she was, to encourage the men ; and how, off the Azores, amid ' terrible seas breaking pyramid-wise,' they heard him utter his last words--those noble words which a great American poet has celebrated in verses worthy of them : ' Be of good eheer! we are as near heaven by sea as by land!' and how, that same midnight, the Squirrel's lantern suddenly disap­ peared--chief, crew and vessel, all swal­ lowed up in a moment. " So perished a gallant leader ; and so was taught again a lesson which we Americans have had to learn many a time--that mere courage, without fore­ sight and experience, is worse than use­ less." Oil on th® Troubled Waters, I have heard that it is the custom of the sailors on board flwhing-Kmn/Ora or schooners lying-to in a heavv blow off the Banks of Newfoundland w pour oil on the waves alongside of the vessels, and that it is effectual in smoothing the sea--not a wave breaking within its in­ fluence. This is very wondc îl, if true, and might be very useful* to know. And I do not see why it may ndt be triie. The great Dr. Franklin says that once, on a very windy day, he quieted the ruffled surface of nearly half an acre of water, rendering it as smooth as a looking-glass, by pouring upon it a single teaspoonf ul of oil. I do not vouch for these oily bits of information, my chicks, but1 sMply call attention to them.

Fob the very accurate and compre­ hensive map of the theater of war in Europe, printed in this issue, we are in­ debted to the NewYork Herald.* • • Tho BnMiafi invasion of Tnrkey, BO long ex­ pected by those who put no faith in the efforts of diplomacy to delay an inevitable conflict, is an accomplished fact. The Czar's Rubicon, the Prutli, has been crossed, and his columns are marching southward and westward, developing the grand line of battle in which they will move forward for the conquest of the Ottoman em­ pire in Europe. The possibilities of the eam- paign are therafore of absorbing interest, filled as they must be with the facte of one if not of many nations. The accompanying map is intended to show the exaet positions of the opposing armies in European Turkey at the opening moves of the grim game of war, and, therefore, none of the unnecessary details of topography are pre­ sented in it that might tend to confuse the reader when studying the preliminary move­ ments. It will be observed that geographically Turkey bears the same relation to Russia as Spain does to France-- that is, the territories of the two empires are united by a comparatively narrow nock of land, which is bounded 011 the one side by Austria and on the other by the Black sea. Instead of the mountain obstacles of the Pyre­ nees, which would present themselves to a French invading army moving into Spain, the Russians find almost equally difficult ones in the complicated river systems that intersect the country between Kischeueff and Rustchuk, the most formidable being of course the Danube, with its broad and rapid current. The Rus­ sians, aware of the delays that must neces­ sarily attend transportation in a region like Roumania, which is poorly-provided with com­ mon roads and lias only one lino of single-track railroad running through Its length, appear to have adopted the bold plan of cross­ ing the Danube in force from Belgrado and Galatz into the region of the Dobrudseha. or that which lies between the Danube and the Black sea northward of Varna and Hchiunla. The effects, in a military sense, of crossing the river at the points named will be twofold. The obstacle of the Danube itself will be overcome without opposition at the outset of the cam­ paign by a force large enough to take care of itself in the enemy's territory, and the river will at once cease to be under the exclusive con­ trol of the Turks as a line of defense. The Turkish gunboats now patrolling the Danube westward of Silistria cannot pass the torpedoes and earthworks that will be placed and con­ structed by the Russians at Galatz and Brahilo to prevent their escape and to close the river against any others that might attempt to pass up to their assistance. But then the Russian army will enter a very narrow territory, and, as the Turks control the river Danube as yet to where it trends northward near Sistova, the Russian communications will be endangered as soon as the army marches southward of Hirchova. The danger to the Russians in their advance through the Dobrudseha is further in­ creased by the fact that they will be confronted by the united garrisons of Rustchuk, Schumla, Silistria and Varna, which troops can readily concentrate on the line of the Kustendji rail­ road and defend that important line of supply. If defeated and forced back, the Turks have another line of defense--namely, that of the Varna, Schumla and Rustchuk railroad, which, although longer and more difficult to hold, is nearer then- base of supplies, and furnishes its own points of refuge in the fortresses named in case of disaster. This movement by the Russian army, al­ though facilitated somewhat by the railroad, will still be a slow one, owing to the length of the territory needing defense. Evidently from their movements they mean to cut the railroad lines between Kustendji and Varna, the sup­ ply ports of the Black sea and the Danube. If these lines are severed the Turkish troops in the field will be forced into the fortresses ; the fortresses will then become isolated and cease to be mutually defensive. Schumla, like Metz, will be starved into surrender, and the Rtissian army will have no enemy between it and Adnanople. Such a result is worth attaining at the expense of the most daring enterprises, and among theBe may be classed the invasion of the Dobrudseha. If Rustchuk falls the railroad southeast­ ward from that fortress becomes at once a line of supply for the Russian armv, and one that cannot be seriously interrupted by any Turkish forces. The cutting of the !iv.e between Yaraa and Schumla would be more iatal to the Turks than a break between Schumla and Rustchuk, because it would deprivo the most important fortress in Turkey of all means of supply. A determined effort w ill therefore be made by the Sultan's army to defend these railroad hues* and the heaviest lighting of the war is likely to take place along them. The Strength of the Belligerents. Russia goes into the war with a popu­ lation of 86,586,000--a deceptive total, of course, since it includes: the Kirghiz, Orientals, etc.,-that, so far from contrib­ uting to the nation's strength in case of a war, form an element of weakness, de­ manding care or even repression. Her debt is placed at $1,504,000,000. Her finances liave had to be nursed for sev­ eral years back. Upon so slender a bal­ ance does her budget hinge that .Russia has to borrow largely to meet the inter est of her debt and supply deficiencies. The inhabitants of Russia from 20 to 40 form the army, six years' service with the active army and nine years in the reserves being demanded in European Russia. The regular army on,a war footing includes the following ; ' OfiUxrn.

To this may be added the irrGgitlar iViuiy (Cossacks, etc.), containing 3,505 ofilceio, 131,290 men and 5,698 non-combatants. The new army organization only dates back to Oct. 1, 1874, and, after deduct­ ing from the strength of the army the forces in the Caucasus (40,000 men) and the armies of Orenburg, Siberia and Turkestan (50,000 men), and making al­ lowance for garrisons that must be kept up, there can hardly be counted upon for service more than 500,000 men. The war strength of the Turkish army is placed at 203,700 men, with 105,600in the first reserve, 24,000 in the second reserve, 32,800 in the military police, and 120,000 in the third reserve, a total of 486,100. The irregulars axe estimated at 50,000 and the auxiliaries at 80,000. As to the quality af the Turkish troops there can be no doubt. They are men who live upon little, are amenable to discipline, march splendidly and fight stubbornly behind walls or under good leaders. On the Black sea, the Turks have very much the whip-hand. In Decem­ ber last the Russian fleet on that impor­ tant sea comprised two two-gun iron­ clads, besides one in process of construc­ tion ; twenty-five ships of war, and one building and four unarmed vessels--a total of thirty-three vessels, with eighty- seven guns, having a tonnage of 31,336 and a power of 4,380 horses. Turkey, on the other hand, could pour into the Black sea nearly the whole of her fleet of thirty iron-clads and seventy-six wooden vessels, mounting 468 guns, car­ rying 15,188 men and having a horse­ power of 28,995. This preponderance in iavor of Turkey helps her to dispute the passage of the Danube and enables her to compel the advance on Constantinople to be made by land from the Prutli and the Danube, and without any help by sea. . . ^ Paoti Mobphy is still in a New Or­ leans insane asylum, a hopeless maniac. The attending physicians believe that his disorder was caused by the mental strain of playing long, close matches at chess. Over ten years ago he suddenly developed a repugnance to the game, the feeling amounting nearly to a mania, and he rarely afterward played it; but the mental disturbance gradually in­ creased, and several months ago became so bad that restraint was necessary.
