To the Editor of the Ohio State Journal i John McGaughey, one of the leaders of the rioters et Newark, who has been in the oily several days agitatiDg the Working classes here, was arrested yesterday by Chief tf Police Augers, charged with ob structing trains at Newark and other riotous proceedings. He is now lodged in a good cool meditative place, where be can ponder over the troubles of the working men to bis entire satisfaction. In the meantime Captain D. W. Wood and bis Guards will keep an eye open to the preservation of railroad property in our city, and will see that there are no riotous meetings held in our midst. Trains are being moved over the Baltimore and Ohio and things generally commence to look brighter. The nominations made by the Republican Convention are satisfactory to the party here, and a general conviction prevails tbat they could not have bean bettered.There is a certain young man (n our city whose line poetical nature has not jet been hardened by the ways of the world. One or his most perceptible failings is his great temerity. Recently he Blade a call at a Otogibier Btreet house and lie lingered until the hour became so late and bis lady friend so "snoopy" that it was thought best by the pater familial to remind him of the necessity of his Immediate departure. The young lady suspecting the cause of hie delay, requested her indulgent parent to accompany the youth home. But the young man braced himself up and broke for home at a 2:40 pace, which he reached in a fainting con. dition. He has determined henceforth he trill not keep late hours. drclevllle Holes. Circle, ville, Aug. 3. To the Editor ft the Ohio State Journal : A very pleasant surprise was given yesterday to Mrs. Ellen Porter, of Amanda, Ohio, by relatives and friends, in celebration of her 63 j birthday. About seventy persons gathered at the residence of Mrs. P. at an early hour. Such a gathering of people took the Amandaites by surprise. Either the millennium or Dan Rice's Circus was coming was their theory, but when it was rumored that Aunt Ellen's birthday had come then their was rejoicing among all. A gay, happy time was experienced by all. Congratulations were many, deep and warm to the pleasant lady who belled her age in gayety and sprightliness. Her life has been full of upa and downs, but a warm 'heart, energy and faithfulness to those around her has brought her thus far, and may it keep her many years to come. The funeral of Mrs. A. D. Boss, trif of Mr. Rose, of Williamsport station, west of this city, took plaoe to-day in Forest cemetery. Tbe Register, of Chillicothe, Ohio, etroxk a hornet's nest when it spoke so rude of our boys during the late railroad war. The boys did nobly and well, and were always ready to do duty at any time. We are proud of them, and think Mr. Begiater people belittled themselves very much, but our Democrat-Union and Herald all come to the front nobly in defense of the boys, and can handle tbe Register either with or without gloves. Honor to 'whom honor Is due. The remains of Captains Gates and Custer, and Lieutenants Smith, Mcintosh and Calhoun, who were killed in the Cus ter massacre, arrived at Fort Leaven worth on Thursday.

A corresDondent senus irom roredin, near Plevna. graphic account of Tuesday's battle, which conveys a vivid idea of the extent of the Russian disaster. The correspondent is with Prince Bchkoskoyskis's command. All hope of success anywhere was dead, nor did a chance offer to make tbe best oi defeat. Jrrince Bchkoskoyskis bad not a man left to cover the retreat. Tbe Turks struck without atint. Thev had the upper hand for once, and were deter mined to show that they knew how to make the moat of it. They advanced in swarms through the dusk on tbeir original first position. and captured the Russian cannon before tbe batteries could be withdrawn. Turkish shells began once more to whistle over tbe ridge above uadisboya, and feu into ;ne village bebind, now crammed with wounded. Streams of wounded wending their painful way over the ridge were Incessant. The bulUy wounded mostly lay where they fell. Later in the darkness a baleful sort of Krankentrsger swarmed over the battle field in the shape of Bashi-Bazoukt, who spared not. Lingering there on the ridge till the moon rose, the staff could hear from below, on tbe still night air, the cries of pain and entreaties for mercy, and tbe veils of tbe blood-thirsty. It was indeed an hour to wring the sternest heart. We stayed there to learn what troops were coming out of the valley of the shadow of death below, were there indeed any at all to come. The Turks had our range before dark, and we could watch the flash of flame over against us, and then listen to the scream of shell as It tore by us. The sound of rifle bullets was Incessant, and the escort and retreating wounded were often struck. Detachments at length begau to pome straggling up, but it will give an idea of the disorganization to Bay that when a company wts told off to recover some of the wounded in Radishova, it had to be made up of men of several regimenU. About nine o'clock the staff left the ridge, leaving it littered with groaning men, and moving gently lest we should tread on the prostrate wounded, we lost our way, as we had lost our array. We could find no rest for the soles of our feet by reason of the alarms of the Bashl-Bdzouks swarming in among the scattered and retiring Russians. At length, at one in the morning, having been in the saddle since six on the previous morning, we turned into a stubble held, and making beds of reaped grain, correspondent and CoBsack alike rested under the stars. But we were not even then allowed to rest. Before four an alarm came that the Bashi-Baouks were upon us, and we had to rouse and tramp away, Tbe only protection of the chief of what in the morning was a fine army, was now a handful of wearied Cossacks.General Krudener sent word in the morning that he had lost severely and oould make no headway, and had resolved to fall back on the line of the river Osma. There had been talk, his troops being fresh, of resuming the attack today, with his cooperation; but it is a, plain statement of fact to say that we hare no troops to attack with. The most moderate estimate is that we have lost two regiments say five thousand men out of our three brigades; a ghastly number, beating Eylsze or Friedland. This takeB no account of General Krudener's losses. We, too, retire on Osma river, about Bul-garini, and to the best of our weak strength , cover the bridge at Sistova. One cannot, at this moment of hurried confusion, realize all the possible results of this stroke, so rashly courted. Sot a RuBsian soldier standB between Tiernova and the victorious Turkish army in Lo-recaand Plevna, and only a weak division of the Eleventh corps stands between Tiernova and Shumla. The army look on ScbkokoyBkie' force as wrepked-as no longer for this campaign to be counted as a fighting integer. It is not ten days since the Thirtieth division crossed the Danube, in the pride of superb condition. Now what of it is left is demoralized and shattered. So on this side of the Balkans there remains but the Ninth corps, already roughly bandied once at Nikopolis, and .once at Plevna, and one division of the Eleventh corps, and the Bt'.stehuk army. Now, if the Kustohuk army is marched 1 to the west against Plevna, than the Turkish army of Kustohuk is let loose on tbe Russian communications to Tiernova. One can not avoid the conolusion that the advance over the Balkans is seriously compromised. Xbe Russian strait is so bad that scattered detachments have been called up from out of JJoumanis, and the Roumanian division commanded by General Mauna, which crossed a day or two ago at Nikopolis, has been called up to the line of Osma river. An aide-de-camp of Grand Duke Nicholas was present at the battle, and at once Btarted for Tiernova with tbe evil tidings. We are just quitting this bivouac and falling back on Bulgarini with all speed, leaving Bulgarian villages to tb tender mercies of the Turks. As I close I learn that on our left General SkobelofF was very severely handled, having lost three hundred men out of his single infantry battalion, Official CbaBges In England.

The Coroner's jury in tbe case of the persons killed in tb late riot by members of the Sixth regiment, after a deliberation of three and a half hours, came to the conclusion that tbe soldiers being demoralized a great aeai oi unnecessary bring was done on Baltimore street, especially west of Gay street. Tbe responsibility for the killing rests entirely witb the rioters, who attacked the soldiers.

"Yes, sir," he said, as he rapped on the table with his glass for the waiter to bring him more beer, and looked across at the reporter with a strange sparkle in his eyes. Ibis was at the House, yes terday afternoon. "Yes, Bir; they have gone my wife and the girls to spend the summer at the seashore. I made a little money in the axle-grease business, and they consider it a duty they owe to society to go every Buinmer to a watering place for their health, and come home lick and played out. This year, as tbe grease trade was rather slow, 1 suggested measures of economy. For instance, 1 agreed to fax up the bath room with an ancient and fish-like Bmell, and put into the tub some Bait and gravel, and a snapping-turtle to give the bathers the exhilarating sensation of peril irom shams. JNo, sir; it wouldn t do They must pack up and go. But thank the Lord, the Old Woman has gone with tbem. Due is my wife s mother, 1 am keepiog bouse alone. My wife insisted on turning off the girl.

When I have made a bed it doesn't have that artistic finish about it tbat a highly cultivated lover of the beautiful might admire. The canary bird starved on me before I knew what was tbe matter with it, and our fa vorite cat has gone over to a neighbor's to Doara until the family comes boms. Drink up and have a fresh mug.J It is rather dismal now about our house. and I spend a good deal of my time out among tbe boys. Had and lonely though he may feel while lying wakeful in the middle of the night fighting mosquitoes and cursing a mocking bird across the street, there is a queer feeling of freedom aoout a man when bis family is all away mat ne cannot exactly explain. Last summer I concluded to have a little cele bration on account of the absence of my family. I invited one evening, some of the gay old fellows, and we had a lively time toe whisay, cigars, etc. .toward morning we began to feel pretty fine. We had smashed a great many of my wife'i dishes, and smeared canned fruit over the furniture and carpets pretty extensively when an omnibus stopped in front of the door and in there popped tbe Old Wo man my wiles mother. Whe made it hot for us you bet. The boys left in hurry, and I had to stay and take it. had noticed that our neighbors kept pretty good eye on tbe house after my family left.

A novel thing in aquatics was that which Libbie Grant did yesterday in swimming across as much of the East river as lies between Randall's Island dock and tbe swimming bath at the foot One Hundred and fourteenth street. Libbie is only -a trifling person, three feet high and eight years old lacking a fort- gut. Jibe distance winch Bbe swam yesterday is one mile, and the tide there runs swiftly and makes hard swimming for anybody. Libbie was ready at b:4o, and came rim ing down tbe dock with her father. Both were dressed appropriately for tbe passage Libbie, thin as a gray-hound and with a sharp, spunky little face, wearing J gray nannei lacKet and pantalettes trimmed at the knees and elbows with red, white and blue cockades. "Now, Lib," said Mr: Edward Grant, "are you all ready ?" "Yes, pa;" and the next instant the cockades flashed brilliantly downward from the dock and disappeared in a bunch of bubbles. But theeight-year-old cams up instantly, and started away with lusty Btrokes. Her father swam beside her and two or three row-boats paddled along behind at a safe distance. The little person aimed herself straight across at first; but the tide was sweeping her far down, when she altered her course and went diagonally up the stream until she got well over on the New York Bide, when she let herself eome down gradually, and, calculating admirably, made the snore without the necessity of further maneuvering just at the swimming bath. It was women's day here and the bath was full, and in addition a good number bad turned out to see the little swimmer come in and were waiting on the dock. She came in admirably, taking strokes quite as long as possible, and when she clambered up on the raft and kissed her hand saucily to the audience the applause was tremendous. She was taken inside and wrapped up in a waterproof, and as she took to shivering a good deal was given just a drop of brandy and water, Then she dressed herself, and was quickly all right and running about. She dived from the dock at precisely 6:61:15 and clambered up at the batb at just 7:0:10, and was therefore just 16m. making the passage. During the trip there was a strong ebb tide running. Libbie is one oi a swimming familv. Her aunt gives swimming lessons at the batb. and ber little flve-vear-old sister swam nobly last year, but for some reason or other refuses this year to so much as enter the water. Libbie though a young person is an old swimmer, and has a prise medal wbiob she won some time ago. A Flaaaa Madrigal. St. Louis Globe-Demoorat Letter. A couple at the United States seemed to be so very fond of each other as to attract general attention, and the geaeral Conclusion naturally was that they were enjoying their honeymoon. One of the boarders who declared that be could always tell by their behavior just how long a pair had been married, offered to lay a wager that their wedding bad taken place within three weeks. "I am sure of it," he added; "no man is so studiously gallant to a woman after the first month. Why, he lifts his hat to her on joining her on the piazza, picks up her handkerchief and returns it with a bow, follows her with hiB eyes, begs ber pardon if he happens to jostle her in walking. A man can't keep tbat up, of course. It's all well enough in the honeymoon; I've been guilty of tbat thing myself. But when a fellow has been a husband a year, he can't afford to be regulated by the slightest movement of his wife's petticoats it's simply ridiculous." ills wager was taken. Due inquiry established the fact that the couple had been married seven years; tbat the husband had fallen in love with nis wile at brst s Kht at the same United States hotel, and had proposed to her within fortyeight hours, and bad been aocepted, the soft infection being mutual. He was then an officer in the regular army he had served honorably during the civil war and she was the eldest of five daughters of the cashier of a county bank. Neither had anything to gain financially by tbe marriage, but they were named at once, and sue went with bim to a military post in Wyoming. After three years, an uncle, a bachelor, who had been in business in England, died, and left her a handsome property, Her husband resigned from tbe army and Is bow a member of a pros perous firm in Baltimore, and, according to all accounts ana manifestations, as fond of his wife as on the day of his wedding. . We hear so much of miserable alliances growing out of watering place flirtations that it is pleasant to record an exceptional instance. The marriage was certainly very imprudent, out it bad a fortunate issue, and fortunate issues and hasty unions are so rare as to merit chronicling. "A man still in love with his wife at tbe end of seven years 1" says a skeptical reader. "That is too heavy a draught on human credulity." All I can say is that names and addresses will be given if treated confidentially, and if desjrable, photographs may be exchanged, HORSE AND BUtiG Y STOLEN ON THE MORNING OF AUGUST 2, A bald face sorrel horee, 14-Ji hands high with heavy mane and light tail, and a side-' oar Duggy, trimmed in brown cloth, wheels full Stagert, almost new, were stolen from the undersigned.

In louo a large rtussian army besieged tbe Turkish fort of Azof, which was situated on a plain and strongly for tified, having a small but well disciplined garrison, No common approaches could be made to it, as the Turkish cannon swept the level with iron hail. In this case the engineering skill of the Kusaiana was baffled, but General Patrick Gordon, the right hand man of Peter the Great (and the only one for whose death he ever shed a tear), being determined to take tbe place at any coet, proposed to bury it with earth by gradual approaches. He had a large army; the soil of the plain was light and deep, and he Bet twelve thousand men to work with spades, throwing up a high eircumvallation of earth wall before tbem in advance. Tbe men were kept in gangs, working day and night, the earth being thrown from one to another like the steps of a slair, tbe top gang taking the lowest place every half hour in succession. In five weeks the huge earth wall was carried forward nearly one mile, until it roes to and above the highest ramparts and the earth, began to roll over them. This caused the Turkish Governor to hang out tbe whita flag and give in. Had he not done so General Gordon would have buried the fortress. A MAN throws himself into the market. Heboekeda"Whathaveyougot?" "Strength in my limbs." "So has tbe ox." The next man comes and Bays be has skill, Skill means brains, and this man stands higher and gets higher wages. Last comes the man with power and wealth and experience and genius, You can't get many such men, and these briDg the highest price. It's the amount of mentality that men put into tbeir work-that determines their value. You may ask what bearing all this has upon the questions that have been agitating the newspapers during the past week. Well, it goes to show that while the working-men are subjected to many injustices, when they aspire to higher positions, their way to them is not by the way of the grog-shop, of self-indulgence, or the po. litical caucus. It lies in the school which educates, in habits of self-denial, in more earnest work, in greater skill, acquired through a loftier ambition, in a larger manhood. Men more manly will go up; men less manly will sink down. Any artificial uprising muBt break down,- Bttebr.
