On the Seven Sleepers Tale From Afghan Frontier Front

A correspondent with the Anglo Russian Commission recounts a variant of the Seven Sleepers of Ephesus theory. The grave, once linked to Ephesus in the Koran, is placed near Chabar Samba on the Afghan frontier. The Exbans’ version centers on Dakianus, his ascent, a devil Gabriel test, and a dog’s loyalty. Six sleepers escape with a shepherd and his dog, all sleep for centuries, then awaken with the four prophet companions.

Odd fragmentary tale of relics and Shakespeare’s era figures

A garbled era fragment mixes a tale of dried animal relics propped against a wall, Bacon and Shakespearean links, and a stream of antiquarian reflections. It moves through portraits of Bacon, a New York Chicago socialite, and cultural notes on harems, French coal and peasant birds, ending with a collage of 16th 17th century ornament lore.

Skobeleff swims the Danube in daring river feat

Journal des Debats recounts General Skobeleff leading a brigade across the Danube on horseback. The younger Skobeleff swims beside his horse to safety, while comrades struggle, and an anxious father watches. The episode ends with reflections on the rescue and the campaign’s risks.
