A MOTHER OF SEVENTEEN.
.Urn, Kelley'a Ulntertinl Pride over Nino
teen Years of Wedlock.
Children are strikingly numerous in
the lower pait of "Washington street, 1
New York. Now that the weather has
grown warm, they occupy the sidewalks '
to an extent that makes walking difficult ;
to anybody who is in a hurry. The .
tenement nouses in that neighborhood |
are tall and crowded, and each is packed
with enough of humaniiy to supply a J
fair-sized village. The interiors are j
iifivl.- inn! in nirmv r>n.-if>s noisome. It is
no wonder, therefore, tuat the children i
swarm out of these houses into the sun- I
shine. A writer iu the New York Sun ;
came across a remarkably large group of '
them in front of Xo. 45 Washington :
street, and stopped, not so much to j
watch them as because he could not pass j
without stepping on them or making a !
detour ia the mud that covered the
pavement. A police officer who stood
by said: " Look'ee youngsters?you
mus'n't block up the sidewalk at which
thej scattered, but instantly came to- !
gether again, a little further on, to j
scramble over an apple that had fallen
from a> vender's wagon.
" Where do they all come from ?" was j
a mifistion rint to fcha oftiom*.
"Well, these houses average twenty i
families apiece," was the answer, |
' and the families average?I won't!
guess how inanv children. "Why, sir, a !
woman up there in forty-five has just
had her seventeenth child."
" The seveuteenth ?"
"Fact, sir; audi don't believe she's
more than thirty-five years old, either.
At that rate, you see,' we must expect I
to tumble over children in the street!
around here."
"You're sure about the number?it's
really her seventeenth ?"
"So they say ; but go up and see for j
yourself. Her name's Kelley, and she j
lives in the fourth floor front. She's !
proud of the baby, and will be glad to |
talk with you."
The writer went through the narrow I
passages and up the stairways of the j
tenement house, and wrapped at a door
in the fourth story. An old lady admitted
him to a room that was scantily
fiirninhfirl hnt clean and nleasant. He
asked if Mrs. Kelley lived there, rnd for j
an answer was pointed to a bed, on which j
lay propped up on pillows a comely ;
Irish woman who did not seem to be i
older than the officer had said. Her face j
was round and ruddy, her complexion |
was that oJ entire contentment, and she I
seemed in the best of physical and mental !
health. A baby lay at her side, looking j
intently at its tiny lists, as though trying i
to make up its mind whether it had ever j
seen them before. The visitor at once
established himself on a basis of welcome
by saying that it was a line child,
which was the truth. He asked how old
it was, and Mrs. Kelley said: "Four
days, sir."
"Audit is your twelfth?" he ventured
to say, deeming it imprndeut to i
risk mentioning- the number that the I
officer hrtd stated.
"Oh, sir,"..and Mrs. Kelley's face, i
and brogue that refuses to be represent- i
ed iu print, indicated mild resentment; I
" this is my seventeenth."
" Ma'am, you have good reason to be I

the mother of -each ft family"?she j
smiled, and drew the babe closer?"at j
your time of life."
" I'm not very old, that's trr.e, sir."
" Not much over thirty, certainly."
"Thirty-seven, sir."
" Aud now old is your oldest?"
" Nineteen. I was just eighteen years j
and three months old when he was born." ]
The old woman wiio had admitted the
visitor then gave information with a
pride o? manner that told, before she '
had imparted the knowledge in words,
that she was Mrs. Kelley's mother, and !
that, she took, to herself a part of the !
merit of Mrs. Kelley's achievement. The j
facts that she imparted, without stopping }
much to take breath, were as follows :
The husband, Patrick Kellev, is a labor- ;
er, about ten years older tbun his wife, i
ami lie brought his lamuy to tins coun- ]
_ try from Ireland in 1835. They bad j
child been married a year when their tirst ;
was born ; nest c.ime three girls at inter- j
vals of ubout fifteen months; next, after |
a year and a half, boy twins ; next, two |
girls and a boy, with intervening periods j
not much varying from a year and a !
quarter; next, another pair of twins, I
but girls, after a lapse of o little over a j
year ; and the six other biitbs were less j
than eighteen months apart. All were
healthy as babies, yet fourteen died
early?of "all kinds of diseases," the
old woman said, but not of constitutional !
disorders,- she was sure. The survivors |
are the first born and the two youngest, j
The four-days-old infant began to j
squall, but was easily pacified by the !
mother, who laughingly said: "Oh, sir, !
I know how to deal with 'em ; the mother
of seventeen ought to. Oh, the bother
of 'em."
"You will be rewarded one of these
days by having a grown-up family
abundantly able to take care of you."
"Faith, they don't live to do that.
Except the oldest?a fine young man,
sir?them that's left is too youug to be
of any use."
" Well, you are young yet yourself, j
and' I hope that those remaining will j
grow up."
"Indeed, so do I, sir. But I expect |
to have more."
"Have you any particular number,
fixed in your mind, ma'am ?"
"Oh, I don't know. It's some time i
now since I've had twins, and I don't ;
know why I shouldn't again. I'd be j
contented if I had twaufcy-five altogether. |
Don't you think anybody ought to be i
contented with that size of a family ?"
"I do."
The truth of Mrs. Kelley's assertions i
as to her children was sustained by the j
family record, in varied penmanship, on i
creased and yellowed paper. This docu- i
ment, kept in a Bible of much newer up '
pearance, bore entries of the marriage of j
Patrick and Bridget Kelley in 1857, of I
the births of seveuteen children to tli<?m |
in nineteen years, and of the deaths of !
fourteen.
The writer again congratulated Mrs, j
Kelley, frightened the baby to the j
verge of convulsions by a well-meant at- j
tempt to play with it, aud withdrew, i
On liis way out he met the officer, who I
remarked : *" Didn't I tell you so V"
"You told the truth. I've seen the t
mother and her seventeenth child. Now, j
I'd like to see the father."
i^-There's no telling where to find him.
for lie -works here, there, and every- I
where. He's a sober, industrious raau ; i
but they do say that he was fairly carried i
away when tho seventeenth baby -was '
born."
"Biated.eh?"
" You bet; and he celebrated the
everrtrwith a party of friends "?
"Well, Kelley's a steady, nice man? j
not given to drink in the least, you under- :
stand?but the night tuat Ins Keren- |
. teenth was bora"? The office: stopped j
short," relapsed-from the mnaner of a
mau who lias began to tell i> luuny story,
took 011 the m;uiuor of a nan -who feels
thai ^ailehce. is a dutyv and added: 1
" El.itpd,-you' eaid ? I6t, sir ; Kelley

Odious Pp.opebties or a Plant.?
There has lately been discovered in
Nicaragua a plant -which' has electromagnetic
properties. If yon tear off a
branch you experience an effect as though
you struck a battery. The discoverer
could not by careful analysis detect any !
magnetic metalic substance in the surrounding
soil. The intensity of the j
shrck varies according to the hour. At
night it is scarcely perceptible. A two
p. m. it is strongest. Birds and insects j
mv*r seem to alight on the Phytolacca :

J
RUSSIAN AM) TURKISH STRENGTH.
Turkey in n Position to .">InUe n Strenuou*
Defense.
A military authority Rays that there is
every indication that Turkey is in a position
?o make a strenuous defense upon
the Danube and in the Balkans. In addition
to the army properly so called,
she possesses 200 battalions of territorial
infantry in the Vilayet of the Danube,
and Sadyk Pasha, the late ambassador
at Paris and now governor of this pro- i
vinee, is displaying great activity. The I
places situated upon the banks of the |
river are entrenched and .well provided ;
with supplies, and some of them, such as j
Widdin and Varna, are very stroug. The
hitter town has eight advauced forts and
200 siege pieces, a fourth of winch are
Krupp guns. The garrison is nutler the
command of Blum Pasha, a Prussian
Jev, who came to Turkey about twenty
ye rs ago. The Turkish fleet will assume
tiie offensive in the Black sea,
where it disposes of sixteen large ironclads,
as many vessels of lighter draught, :
a powerful artillery, and good English j
engineers.
The Russian army is composed as fol- !
lows:
First?The army of the South, which !
was formed in September, under the !
command of the Grand Duke Nicholas, ,
with Gen. Nispoligiski as chief of staff, !
comprises four complete army corps, j
each with two divisions of infantry, one
of cavalry, and artillery in proportion, 1
four battalions of chasseurs, two divis- I
ions of Don Cossacks, four regiments of J
light Cossacks, and three battalions of
sappers, making 36,000 men to each
corps, or 200,000 men in all. The advance
guard is already at Ungheni,which
is the junction of the Roumanian and
Russian railways.
Second?The reserves of the army of j
the South, consisting of four divisions j
of infantiy, four battalions of chasseurs, j
one division of cavalry, and artillery in |
proportion. Ihese troops, encamped in j
Poilolia, represent a total of from 70,000 '
to 80,000 men. Thus the Russian forces '
intended to operate upon the Danube [
number about 280,000 meu, and this is |
the estimate which has been formed as j
to their strength by Gen. Klapa in a let- j
ter to the Neue Frcic Presac.
Third?The coast army, which will j
have to keep watch over the Crimea and
the movements of the Turkish fleet, has i
been formed of two cox-ps which formerly j
belonged to the army of the south, and j
numbering, together with the garrison I
of Bender, Ackermoun, Kertch and j
Otchakoff, about a hundred thousand j
meu, who are under the command of
Gen. Semeka.
Fourth?The army of the Caucasus
comprises, inclusive of the reserves recently
dispatched to it, ninety-two battalions,
eighty-two squadrons or sotnias, I
twenty-five batteries, and some irregular j
cavalry, consisting of Mussulman volun- |
teers from Tiflis, D aghestan and the Cas- j
pian sea. Gen. MelikofF is in command ;
of this army, which is estimated to number
150,000 men.
It may, therefore, be said that Russia
has now in liuo half a million of men,
from which total must be deducted a
fifth for non-combatants and iueffectives.
But during the last month she has been i
organizing and putting ou a war footing |
nine fresh army corps ; and there is in j
addition the imperial guard, commanded ]
by the czarewitch, and consisting of j
three divisions of infantry, two of cavalry,
three brigades of artillery, and one !
of chasseurs.
The Tnvalidc liumtc, which is the i
organ of the Russian minister of wur, j
has also published a table of the Turkish :
forces at the end of the war with Servia. |
According to this journal, the total of j
the Turkish forces iu Europe did not i
then exceed 807 battalions and eightythree
squadrons, making in all 250,000 )
men and 408 guns ; and those in Asia, j
165 battalions and sixty-four squadrons, I
making in all 120,000 men and 302 guns.
New levies have been raised since, but '
the Invalidc does not think that Turkey
can now dispose of more than 450,000,
many of whom are irregulars. The Invalidc
also estimates that about 50,000 j
Turkish troops will be employed against |
Montenegro, that there will be 00,000 at J
Widdiu, 20,000 at Rustcliuck and Silistria,
and about 8,000 at the extreme west;
of the empire, upon the Danube. A
little further south, Turkey wilf probably
have 40,000 men attached to the army of
the Danube, and will defend the line
from Varna to Schumlawith about 25,000.
High Foreheads.
The notion that high foreheads, in j
women as well as men, are indispensable ,
to beauty, came into vogue with phren- j
ology, and is going out with the decline :
of that pretentious and plausible sci- j
ence." Not long ago more than one ,
"line lady" shaved her head to give it j
an " intellectual " appearance, and the I
custom of combing the hair back from ;
the forehead probably originated 111 the j
same mistaken ambitiqu. When it is j
considered that a great expanse of forehead
gives a bold, masculine look?that
from frona (forehead) comes the word
" effrontery," it will not be wondered
thtt tlni :uicient painters, sculptors and I
poets, considered a low forehead " a j
charming thing in woman," and, indeed, I
indispensable to female beauty. Horace j
praises Lyeoris for her low forehead, !
and Martial commends the same grace |
as decidedly as he praises the arched ,
eyebrow. j
Russian Soldiers.
The Russian army in Europe does not I
exceed 180,000 men, and that in Asia
numbers 250,000. The soldiers are j
often stigmatized as cowards, dependeut
on vodka for their nerve. But the same j
was said of them in 1854. It is true that j
among army stores forwarded to head- j
quarters the supply of spirits is astou- |
ishingly prominent. But the worse vice 1
is disaffection. The much discussed ill- ;
ness of the Grand Duke Nicholas was no j
illness, but gunshot wounds. An at- ;
tempt' was made to assassinate him by a
soldier, and he received a bullet through i
his arm aud another grazed his side.
"My information," says a resident long !
in Russia, " on this point is indisputable,
but I cannot give my authority. It
was husheil up most successfully at the
time, to the extent of the interception of
half a dozen private telegrams of my
own alluding to the event."
All That Was, Left of Tliem.
" Did I ever love any other girl!" repeated
a pspspective bridegroom in ,
answer to the tearful query of his in- ,
tended. " Why, darling, of course not; j
how could you ask such a question ? j
You are my first, iny only love. This j
heart knew no awakening until the sunshine
of your love streamed in and woke :
it to eestacy." And then he kissed her
fon/lnrlr on?l u-nnf. l)nmo nrwl cr?i/1 fn
himself: "I must hurry them things!
out of the way riprlit off or there'll be a
row," and collected together a great pile |
of letters, written in all kinds of feminine :
hands, with lots of faded flowers and
photographs and locks of hair and bits
of faded ribbon, and other things, and
when the whole collection had been
crammed into the kitchen grate he drew
a deep sigh and said to himself: " There
goes'all that's left of fourteen undying
loves?let'em flicker."
A man roturned his newspaper to the
printing ollice with "jacka-ss "written 011
the margin, and in the next issue the
editor stated the fact, and wound up the
paragrapli by asking : " Will our indignant
subscriber please let us know at
what stable ho can be found?"
Extract from a letter from Atchison,
Kan.: "The ground is tremendously
dry here ; the big rain of last week did
not reach the ground ; the grasshoppers
stood on their hind legs and drank the
water as fast as it fell! So I am informed."

a Bashi-Bazcuks. The Ottoman troopi
11 were intrenched in a very effective man
j| ner upon the slopes and ledges of thes<
8 hills, and upon the advance of the enemj
i- they opened on his columns a terribh
r and well-sustained fire of cannon ant

" Russians down in swaths. They fell b]
j scores and hundreds 011 the plain belo-v

* and having no choice but to fight or fly
^ in a short time the spot which was th<

1 great part of the action, the advantage
I of intrencliments on high ground, and i
II is due to this fact, no doubt, that thei
3 losses, compared to those inflicted upoi
' the enemy, were small. The victor
.. was won by the extraordinary courag

1 " Domestic infelicity," which newspaper reporters
nowadays credit with playing such an
important part in life's drama, is often the re
suit of lingering - or chronic disease. What
] husband or wife can be cheerful, smiling and
s pleasant, when constantly suffering from the tor1
tures of some dread disease ? Perhaps the
i husband's liver becomes torpid, and he experi1
ences bitter, disagreeable taste or nausea, has
t chilly sensations, alternating with great heat
a and dryness of the surface of his body, pain in
a his sides, shoulders or back, eyes and sldn are
1 tinged with yellow, feels dull, indisposed, and
a dizzy. Through his suffering he becomes
b gloomy, despondent, and exceedingly irritable
i m temper. Instead of resorting to bo reliable a
- remedy as a few doses of Dr Pierce's Purgative
r Pellets, and following up their action with the
t use of Golden Medical Discovery, to work the
. biliary poison out of the system and purify the
3 blood, if he play the part of a " penny wise and
i pound foolish" man he will attempt to economize
i by saving the small cost of these medicines.

B her too laborious duties or family cares, have
t become subject to such chronic affections as are
3 peculiarly incident to her sex; and being reduced
a m blood and strength, suffering from backache,
.. nervousness, headache, internal fever, and enf
during pains too numerous to mention, she may
j become peevish and fretful?anything but a
genial helpmate. In this deplorable condition
e of ill healm, should she act wisely and employ
_ Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, it will in due
y timo, by its cordial, tonic and nervine proper"y
ties, restore her to health and transform her
from the peevish, scolding, irritable-tempered
invalid to a happy, cheerful wife. Layng aside
levity and speaking seriously, husbands and
wives, you will find the Family Medicines above
mentioned reliable and potent remedies. For
y full particulars of their properties and uses, see
B Pierce's memorandum book, which is given away
by all druggists.
