The Czar of «f.» ^Russia sides with the cause of the revo4 lution, and, it is stated, is preparing to fight in its support. On the other' hand,

Servia is negotiating with Roumania and Greece, with the view of taking common action against the extension of Bulgarian dominion, and is actively engaged in inaking military preparations. S a as ad in 0 kishruleby the Treaty of Berlin, signed

July 13,1878, as the result of war between Turkey and Russia. The Sultan's authority was thereby so weakened that he was obliged to give upallauthorityover the Servians. As events have shaped themselves, notwithstanding the assistance given her by the forces of the Czar in the attainment of i:T her independence, Servia has, gradually departed from the position of subserviency to Russia, and, as we have seen, is now following a policy directly opposed to that of the government of the .jCzar. This brings her into more 'intimate relations with Austria, which

EMPLOYING A PHYSICIAN.

In all other countries in the World, people like better to talk about themselves than to talk about the person they are talking to in the United States it is difficult to make them do so. I inquired the name of the best medical practitioner in the place, (this showed, by the way, that I did not feel as well as I fancied myself,) and, after sOme discussion between my visitors, they decided that a Dr. Read held the highest rank in public estimation. Mr. Buntin had been inolined to recommend a relation of his own, but Mr. Lalumiere insisting that Dr. Read was the

In the night, however, I was far from getting better. My wife wished to send for a doctor, and to this I strenuously objected, on the plea that 1 was certain he would bleed me, and that this would

kill me. She said that I had been delirious at the time certainly this dread of being bled for bowel complaint looked something like it, but I had been reading Dr. Hixon's book on the Fallacies of the Faculty. On the morning however, it appeared that Isabel's state was far from satisfactory, and I immediately

A BROOKLYN BOY WHOSE MONU17 MENTS ARE MANY.

[Special Correspondence.)

NEW YORK, Oct 14. —Peacefully thare has passed away from our community a quiet and dignified gentleman. Oqs to whom notoriety and display was particularly distasteful, and consequently his name was seldom mentioned among the promi nent figures of the metropolis. Aud yet, after a slight review of his unostentatious life, it will amaze one to find the amount of work his zeal accomplished. New York will •ee another great funeral, but this time to one whose monuments are many and already constructed. Ho was not such a very old man at the time of his death, but conaidering the frail body which was his from childhood, that he outlived his stronger contemporaries was in itself a marvel.

CARDINAL JOHN M'OLOSKET. The life of the late cardinal so well illustrates the growth of this city and state that a few statistics of the condition of the church in which he labored during his lifetime will not be without interest. The precise number of clergymen in the dioee3e of New York, which comprised the states of New York and New Jersey at the time of his birth, it isdifflcdlt to 3ay, but the records show that in 1826, when the. cardinal was 16 years old, these two states contained twelve priests, with possibly eight or ten churches- In 1884, in this same area of country, there were over 1,200 priests, 950 churches, besides 100 asylum3 or charitable institution? preside! over by nine bishops. In the building up of all this the cardinal either officiated in person or contributed his counsel. But still more marvelous is the change that has come over the great cities of New York and Broolclya

When John McCioskey was born in Brooklyn, in 1810, the town contained about 4,000 souls, while the New York census showed a population less than 100,000. There was a primitive horse ferry connecting the two cities in tho .o days. It didn't run on Sundays, possibly because tiiere was not sufficient business for it, so that Catholics, to attend tha services of their denomination, were compelled to row across to New York city, which contained the only Catholic church for probably a hundred miles around. It was in this way that the cardinal's mother broughb him across to St. Peter's church to be baptzied, and this method of ferriage continued for many years, as the cardinal, in soma reminiscenccs lingered affectionately in telling of the period in which his mother, on Sunday mornings, led him by the hand down the shore of the East river, there being no docks in those days, in search of a boatman that would row them across so that they might attend church. What a contrast with the present day, when the massive Brooklyn bridge is crossed on a Sabbath by a larger number of persons than- was contained within the limits of Brooklyn during the cardinal's boyhood.

"I hope they will soon get better," were all said in sympathizing tones. "I have seen Dr. Read," writes Lucy," after standing and looking at our poor Isabel, turn away and brush the tears from his eyes, and once I heard him say to himself, »Poor little thing it makes my heart bleed to see her I never saw any one suffer so much so patiently.'"

NEW YORK AND BROOKLYN FERRY IN 1810. Young McCioskey was a delicato child, so frail that it was not considered likely that he would ever be raised. This very feebleness was in a slight measure to shape his future career. It happened this way: Mr. McCioskey died when this delicate son was but 10 years old, leaving a competency sufficient to support his widow and infant children. To relieve his mother it was suggested that John be sent to Mt. St. Mary's college, Maryland, where the mountain air and country life might strengthen him. So at the age of 12 be was admitted, and remained thore for seven years, winning the respect of fill who knew him by the gentleness of his disposition and the proficiency he displayed at his studies. Graduating with the highest honors, he went home to live with his mother for a year. Having decided to enter the ministry, be returned to Mt St Mary's and pursued his studies for four years lonzer. His wisdom and piety, coupled with his ability as a counsellor and theologian, foreshadowed the eminent part h9 was to take in church affairs, provided his life was spared. These were the days of Clay, Calhoun, Webster, Benton and Wright when this leaders o£ the people were orators. It was an age of eloquencj, and even in tbi3 field John McCioskey was said to be second to none amonsr college graduates. A large

college was to be buiir ac AyacK on toe Hudson, and Mr. McGloskey was chosen as its first president Just as the building was ready for occupancy, it is said that an incendiary's tprch reduced it to ashes. The writer as a boy often "crossed the. fields where these gras* covered ruins were but faintly indicated, and supposed they were the work of Indians, to saeient dii they appear. The erection of a college building being abandoned, its intended president was ordained a priest at the age of 24. 11

From this time on his career was one of quiet diligence in the pursuit of his ministry. The subsequent events and promotions of his life are bri^ly as follows: In 1835 be went to Home to conciuue bueuivgicu* studied for two years. To further broaden his mind and increase his health he spent one year studying the peculiarities of the people of Austria, Germany, Prance, Eng. land, Scotland and Ireland.

THE ARCHIEPISCOPAL RESIDENCE. Facing on Madison avenue and adjoining tho cathedral is tho archiepiscopal residence in which the cardinal spent the latter portion of his life. It is built of whito marb6 and pure Gothic in architecture, ,to harmoaizo with the grand cathedral, the building of which the cardinal gave so much of his personal attention and lias left the imprint of his refined taste. It is not generally known that the late cardinal was an authority on ecclesiastical architecture ho made it the recreation of his life. From the renewal of work on this cathedral, in 1865, to ths giving out of the contracta for tho building of the spires, which was settled just before his death, the cardinal kept himself acquainted with every detail of the work. The only relaxation he took from his other dutios was to walk through the cathedral and the stone cutters' yards to watch the progress of the work. The magnificent altar and its surroundings, on which are concentrated the most delicate work of the sculptor's chisel, was, it appears, a gift from the cardinal, a fact which has only now been made public. It was known at the time the altar was in course of erection that ihe cardinal, had sold his horses and carriage, but what other acts of abstemiousness he performed or what necessities he deprived himself of in order to .make this donation it is impossible to say. Beneath and to the rear of this altar is the crypt in which the remains of tha cardinal will rest It at present contains the body of his predecessor. Archbishop Hughes. There are places remaining for nineteen of the succeeding archbishops.

... OLD ST. PETER'S.

We close this sketch with an engraving from an old print of the first Catholic church iu New York city. It was here the cardinal was baptized, and he was the last living priest to remember the old building. It was completed on Nov. 4, 1775, and will shortly celebrate its 100th anniversary.- On its site stands the present St Peter's, in the rear of the Astor house. Thousands upon thousands of emigrants landing on onr shores have sought out this church to return thanks to Providence for their safe parage across cne ucoan, ctiia vuw mere unnuvu ui it will bring back pleasant memories to many.gray-haired readers of the first Sundav they spent in America. .". *, •.

The New Minister to Spain. REV. JABEZ L. M. CURRY. The new minister to Spain is a Baptist preacher, and owing to some criticisms he has mado, it is said, on the Spanish government and tha prevailing religion of its people, is likely to create a sensation somewhat similar to that brought about by the appointmant of Mr. Keily, his fellow townsman, to tha Italian mission. This time the shoe is oa the other foot. Ths Rev. Mr. Curry is at present a professor in the Richmond university, of Virginia. Ha is 60 years old and a man of education, with considerable acquirements as a linguist. He was formerly quite a politician, but for the last twenty years has ceea out of active politics.

PLOWING WITH A YOUNG STEER.

Did yon ever plow with a steerf Well, it may be your high privilege some day to plow with one, and perhaps a little advice now would 'not be forgotten. In the ontset, if you are not a prfetty good singer, learn at once to sing. When you get ready to plow select a young 4-year-old steer, one with plenty of ambition, and one that hasn't been worked in two months. Hitch bim to the plow. He will start before you get hold of the handles, but that needn't trouble you. As the plow passes make a lunge for the handles. This will be apt to hasten his steersbip, and he will, perhaps, be going so fast by this time that you won't think to say "Whoa," or to check him with the line, bat will be palling for life by the handles to check him this will throw the plow point perhaps three feet above the ground. As soon as you discover tbe aerial attitude of your plow point give it a sadden thrust toward the center of ths earth it will be sure to strike a root and break your

•ri

Ji will be sure to strike a root,

plow baam—land your head between the steer's legs, and be, being free, will likely gallop around thsr- field several timas. I forgot to mention that yon ought to commence whistling as soon as yon hitch up, and whistle until you land between his legs. Just at this pOint your musical talents will be found convenient—arise, commence singing some good spiritual song, most any will da ''Amazing Grace," for instance. Or it may bo better to sing "Haste to the Wedding." It all depends on tha rate of speed the steer has1 on. While singing itand firm in your tracks, with your hands in your pockets. Remain in this position and sing until the steer stops in the meantime keep your mind on things above, and not on things below. After the steer stops don't start as if yon were going straight to him, but obliqnely, whistling from the time you start until you get opposite, then stop suddenly, as though you had just discovered him, then walk around two or three times as though you didn't care about catching him sing in the meantime, "Come, Humble Sinners," eta finally walk up in a gentlemanly manner and take hold of the line. If the steer goes through the same general performance for three days you will have a steer that will be hard to part With. "4.
