UNFORTUNATE GENERALS.

A St. Petersburg journal gives an interesting, account, of. the unfortunate Generals Stoessel and Npbpgatoff, now confined in the fortress' of St. Peter and St. Paul; together , with , the naval commanders, (irigorieff and Lischin. • The generals have oach a spacious cell,» weH lighted-, while the other two prisoners have a cell equally large in common. The cells have large windows, with iron bars, overlooking the Neva and the Winter Palace. The furni lure for each is a camp-bed,, a large and a ijmall table, two chairs, and a press. The. prisoners' outdoor - recreation . consists of gardening under the direction of Lischin, who is no stranger to that art and mystery. According to the rules 'of the prison fortress, the four unfortunate war prisoners rise at 8 a.m. take ..their tea, and then proceed to the garden abutting upon the Neva. At-noon they dine- together, Nebogatroff presiding at the mess. What thp conversation "of these men, upon whom Fortune has not smiled, but whose bravery has never been impugned, is, can only be* imagined. At six p.m. they sup, and at nine o'clock they lake tee. Between times they can read what they like, newspapers, books, and magazines. It seems that Stoessel and Nebogatoff met for the first time in prison. They only knew one another from photographs. "Alas! that we should meet in such a place," said Stoessel to his companion -ii misfortune, as "a-down his cheek a tear unbidden stole." Nebogatoff replied, "God above is our Judge. We must never lose courage."

Blood poison resulting from small wounds is oecoming more prevalent. Even so elig-ht an injury as the ecratch of a pin will sometimes cause blood poisoning. The safe way is to a- Iv Chamberlain's Pain Balm as soon as the injury has been received.' That liniment prevents all danger of blood poisoning and causes the injury to heal in abotit one-third the time required by the usual treatment. For sale -by all chemists and storekeepers.
