war do not, deserve much @tention, %& ther are they likely fo #éceive it tious and cumbrous as Kinglake’s “Invasion of the Crimea,” in which about three hundred pages are given to one battle, and which is still unfinished, nearly a quarter of a century after it WmmiThe briefest of recitals ;ﬂnst%tharéfo‘re, cover the introduction to the drama on which/ the curtain is so soon to rise. _About J*ulyzg&‘lsm, Uroke out a rebellion in the Herzegoviua, the alleged cause being the ex-| pressed determination of the Turkish officials to enforce payment of taxes and arrears by-the Slavic Christians. The revolt speedily spread to Bosnia, and was so formidable by the 22d of ‘August that the_ Russian, French, Aus;trian and - English governments invited ithe Porfe by a collective note to examine into and redress the wrongs complained of by its subjects. The Serbians. immediately afterward placed 90,000 men in the field, a- menace promptly followed by the Sultan’s raising of larger forces and calling to the Viziership of Mahmoud Pasha, a | recognized champion of absolutism. The Sultan declined any mediation by toreign powers’ till his rebellious subjects-had yielded, though he guaranteed reforms which they were not willing to accept as a Ssufficient pretext for disarmament.. The foreign powers then presented the Andrassy memorandum, prepared in the name of the three Emperors, and submitted to and approved by Engtand, France! and Italy, asking religious liberty,. customs reform, and a mixed commission to carry oub reforms-in the discontented provinces. The Sultan ac--cepted it February 12,1876, but the Turkish wvopulation had become éxcited, and their rage found vent in. the massacre of foreign consuls at Salonica, May 6, and in the Bulgarian atrocities. On the 11th of May the three Lmperors dictated the famous membrandwm of Berlin, which{ presented the same facts and conclusions that were contained inthe Andrassy notey but ended with a menace of ind tervention if at the end of the armistice peace had not been brought about. i England had not, been consulted in the negotiations .and declined to approve it, and the memorandum never was presented to the Porte.. - - ‘Meanwhile the revolution of May 30 followed. -Abdul Aziz being dethroned and Murad V. installed by the Softas, andthe assassination of Rachid Pasha and Hussein Avni Pasha June 15 left two of the revolutionary /party at the head of Turkish affairs, Mehemet Ruchei Pasha serving' as, the hyphen between the absolutism’ of Abdul -Aziz and the liberalism of Midhat Pasha. July 1 Prince Milan of Serbia, long pressed by the war party; declared war against Turkey, having formed an alliance with Montenegro and being materially assisted by Russia. The Turks thrashed him soundly, and September 1 administered the decisive defeat before Alexinatz, after which Prince Milan begged an armistice. (Abdul Hamid 11, had just reached the weak-minded’ Murad V. on the throne.) S

Tarkey, disheartered by the antiOttoman Gladstone excitementin#ingland, offered an ‘armistice which Serbia, for the same reason, -declined. The powers managed to have it proclaimed, though Tchernayeif opposed it and made-his army proclaim Milan king. Russia, her proposition ifor a joint occupation having been refused, demanded a month’s armistice. The Porte offered one of six months. Hos“tilities, were re-begun, and, - despite k'l‘cher'nayeﬁ's skill and the gallantry .of the Itussian officers and volunteers, ‘who did all-the fighting for Serbia, the Turks took Djunis and Alexinatz. After this an armistice of six weeks had been practically arranged between Turkey and the other powers, when Russia - interjected (probably at the appeal of Milan (her ultimatum, and the discussions ending in the abortive conferer.ce of Constantinoole, was precipitated. - There was a-diplomatic duel between England and Russia, inr which Gortschakof. decidedly remained a victor.. England’s position was that the treaties of-1856 and'lB7l (that after the Crimean jwar and that after the Francc-Prussian war, amending it) continued to ‘be the basis of her policy, and that if it were necessary, -she would sée them respected; the Czar maintained that he had no sinister intentions toward Constantinople, but wished guarantees for the Eastern Christians, being prépared to act alone, even in arms to secure these: - Austria’s position was one of neutrality so long as her interests should not be menaced by the creatign of new autdnomous States. Italy and France took no direct interest in the dispute. Germany declares her ‘willingness to let Russia act within the bounds of non-interference with Irussia ot German interests.

We.recapitulate the positions of the greati powers at the conference of Constantinople as™ of interest now. The conference endéd in the powers agreeing uponrecommendations which the Sultan rejected as wholly incompatible with his dignity or even -existence. He, however, ordered andlagous reforms, prepared a constitution and called a Pariiament. After this it' becanie only a question of time when war would break out, Russia complaining that Turkey either could not or would not carry out her reforms for the benefit of her Christian subjects; 'Turkey that Russia was fermenting insurrection in her provin¢es and making pretexts for inimical interference, Both complaints were probably well-founded. ~The. moral difference in the value of the complaints of the powers, however, is considerable and obvious. -Russia complains of what.she does not believe that Turkey will do. “Turkey of what she believes that Russia has done. Russia goes to war to compel the Turks to behave toward' their Christian subjects ag Russia thinks Turkey ought to behave. /Turkey goes to war to confute the right of Russia or any other power to administer her: government for her within; her own dominions. ) LA 3

| “Pay AsYou Go” " A cléver margin between one’s expenses and his income, on the side of the income, is about one of the best things a man can strive for in the business department of life. Honestly earned money, in the pocket, is one of man’s best friends, if it doesn’t stgnd at the very head of the list, provided its use is dictated by sound discretion and judgment; otherwise it becomes a motor of profligacy and poverty. Success in any business depends not so. much on a large income as upon a healthy proportion between the income and the expenditures. There are no means at the command of a?y business which will enable it to secure this more readily or more surely than the cash system—paying the expenses as they accrue and buying nothing for which the money-can not be paid. This. is an axiom the value of which all successful business men appreciate. If it is good for those in extensive trade, why may it not be successfully employed by those who as the common parlance |goes “live from hand to mouth.” Indeed, we Helieve that if this class would adopt ‘it and live up to it scrupulously there would be: no more “living from hand to mouth” by anybody. Certainly there is enough for the bodies and mouths of all.— There is also a market, as a rule, for strong -arms and- minds and willing hands, and lie that wills to: exehange these choicest gifts of a beneficent Creator, can, with'the proper dbservance of the rule of “pay as you go,” raise himself above 7

I[le that buys on eredit, not only pays for what he purchases but also for the accommodation granted, and the bills have a reprehensible habit of coming iniat inopportune moments, often necessitating the purchase in one way or ahother, of still another favor and, accommodations of this sort are ‘amongst the most expensive and unsubstantial luxuries indulged in. by anybody; they cost more than all the ‘theaters and concerts’ owe would want tal visit in the year. .Pay as you go, and 1v will be & matter of surprise as well asgratitjcation to learn how many articles which under the credit sys-. tem, were thought actual necessities, can be dispensed with—are found to ‘be actual superfluities. Pay cash for everything and no bills will be following you up to distress you. TPay as you go, and you,will soon see the cash accumulating in your coffers, for the rulejwill soon-teach you to spend’less than all your “money. A “dollar or two” is a wonderful talisman, securing its possessor the respect of the public, a light heart, an independence of feel‘ing one with no shekels can ever entertain, comfort and competence. ‘The rule is not a wild theory, but suscepti‘ble of practical application in every household and by ‘every individual in the land. A reward, in cash, is offered to every man who adopts and lives up to it—the rule itself offers the reward and will surely pay it to all its devotees.—Columbus Democrat. .

Poverty in Nevada. ) © The Virginia City Znlerprise cautions those in pursuit of labor and a living to keep away from Nevada. It says: “The custom of men out 'of work and out of money to apply/to the city jail for a cover from the night and something to eat in the morningj tells a fearful story of the want and destitution in our midst. The fact'is too-patent to be denied. Some of the good people of this city spend all their leisure time in' endeavoring to find something for heads of families to do whereby they may provide for those dependent on them for support. The relief committee have done much, but their funds are exhausted. and they, more than most others, are acquainted with the. fearful destitution which prevails among many families hefe in the city. It has been hoped that with the coming of spring better times would prevail, but things are continually going from bad to, worse, and the end is not yet. ‘ Men have been lured here and continue to come, because cf the published and wide spread report that miners get-$4 per day. Many hdave managed, and-some are still managing, to get here and then they find that new|men are not wanted; that not more than one in'five of the old miners can get work and then the prospects are continually growing poorer. Thereare thousands of men here that had better go elsewhere. They cannot do worse than to remain and may do much better. New fields are opening wup. There is Arizona, where working men are needed. The Black Hills and the Bear River country are open to prospectors who are idle and get away to go somewhere or anywhere away from here.

s - Emma’s Blunder, . . (From the Indianepolis Herald.) Mrs. Emma Molloy is one of the ixntemperats temperance women, and she buzzes around like a vicious yellowjacket in a cider mill. Mrs. M.’s charges against Bishop Talbott and the Episcopal. church have raised a tempest in a teapot. She alleged, in substance, if not in words, that the Episcopal church is but little better than a German beer garden, and that the robust Bishop is a chronic soak. A Vermont paper, taking the part of the Bishop and the church, denounced the yellow-jacket as a liar, and the yellowjacket wrote to South Bend and got numerous endorsemen§s of her veracity. Then Bishop Talbott mounted his foaming lecturn, galloped to South Bend, intent ‘on calling a mass meeting.and “branding” the yellow-jacket. He was persuaded to be content with testimonials as to his sobriety, to be forwarded to Vermont and published. Now the simple truth about this matter is that Mrs. Molloy is a ridiculous little woman, whose zeal runs entively away with her judgment. Her charges against the Bishop amount tono more than the fizz of a bottle of pop. And the truth about the Bishop is that he is not a.total abstainer, and never pretended to be. Tie believes in the creature comforts, both solid and liquid, and we would as lief take his judgment on a particular brand of wine as that of Henry Watterson.. But itls a slander to say that he was ever seen palpably “under the influence.”

The Great German State. (madison; Wis , Correspondence of the N.¥.Sun.) Witin ten years, if it is not already, Wisconsin will be the German State of the Union. - The Germans are flocking here not only from the father land, but fron: all the NorthernStatés, and notably from Ohio, and buying out the American and all other farmers whose native language is the English, It is contended now that the (Gtermansg, if united, could nominate and elect all the officers of the State over all other parties or nationalities combined. Take, for example, our commercial metropolis, Milwaukee. 1t has a population of about 110,000. At least 80,000 of these are. Germans. 1 am told that there are, at this time, in the process of construction in this State, over 130 church, buildings, several of them large enough to seat 3,000 persons, Of these, over 100 are for Catholic societies. - = {

The industry and thrift of the Germans, with the proverbial health and fine soil of the State, will make Wisconsin in a few years, one of the wealthiest States in the Union. The only drawbaek toa bright future is that a portion of the Germans,through some kind of prejudice, will not send their children to the publie schools. I am told that in the city of Milwaukee over eight thousand children, between five and fifteen years, are withheld from the publi¢ schools on this account. : :

. Labor and Capital. = - (From the Indignapolis Sentinél.) . The country is confronted with the anomalous sifuation ; that with an abundance of labor and an abundance of capital there is distress everywhere. The facts are indubitable. In New York money is so abundant that it is offered at 1:to 2 per cent. on call, and first-class double named paper is quoted at 314 to 4 per cent.. These figures indicate that there is ecapital without employment which is seeking opportunities to earn the lowest possible rates of interest. While this is true of money, labor is corresponding1y abundant and seeking employment at -almost any .price. Something is the.matter. The wheels of business are clogged. ' Idle money increases and in the same ratio there are more idle laborers. The ¢tountry js at peace. There is neither famine nor pestilence; population is not_redundant, and the question is continually wecurring, Why this widespread par‘alysis? There is but one answer.— Radical legislation, ignorance, fraud, peculation and scoundrelism have brought it wpon the country. Iu is the penalty the people are paying for Grantism, but another name for radicalism. The people are idle because there is no employment for them, and industries are stopped because such finaneial fanatics as McCullough and Sherman, aided by radical legislators in sympathy with gold and bond rings, have resolved upon the contraction of the currency and the abolition of confidence in all undertakings which give employment to laboring people. ‘We have shown in these columns that’ ‘since 1864 the failures have amounted to $1,372,510,418, weil_e contraction ‘has reached the sum'total of $1,314,603,098—a- ;coincidence well worthy the atteptio’n of thinking men. .With such an exhibit of bankruptey, such an-overthrow of business enterprises of all deseriptions, capitalists have become alarmed and have withdrawn their money from enterprises involving risks, and this fear of disaster has had the effect to dethrone confidence and introduce into business affairssuch ecomplications ‘and uncertainties that capital is unproductive, and the number of'idle laborers and mechanics is everywhere increasing. :

The Tuneful Telephone.

- Mr..C. A. Powell, a young telegraph operator at LaPorte, has lately invented a telephone which by the aid of electricity promises to transmit from Portland to San Francisco, any sound that can be’ produced by the human voice.. Through the kindness of Chas. Kenworthy, the operator at this place, we were permitted to enjoy the musical sounds-that were taxen from the wires at that place Wednesday night, while Mr. Powell, at I.aPorte, was endeavoring tp transmit sanctimonious airs to the sinners at Indianapolis. Soon after the nine o’clock train had left this.place going north, the operators along the line adjusted their “boxed re-lays” according to instruetions previously given by Mr. Powell, and after the operator ‘at-Indianapo-lis signaled “all right,” the genius at LaPorte began with - “Home, Sweet Home,” which could be distinetly heard from any part of the quiet room. The sound was verysimilar to that made by a buzzing bee. Owing to a wrong adjustment, Indianapolis did not get the benefit of the first air. Powell instructed the operator again, then proceeded—this. time mearly all of the oftices north of here recognized the “air of?“ Daisy Dean,” and so informed the singer, who answered, “correct.” The jentertainment closed with the beautiful air of “Hold the Fort,” that seemed to float about the room as if ‘produced by = swarm of musical - bees. After receiving the compliments «of his unseen audience, ‘Mr. Powell thanked the many distant hearers for their undivided attention and bid them all “good night.” ‘ We might as well attempt to explain the mysterious magnetism of the north star as to give our readers ‘any idea of even the first principles of the astonishing results produced by Mr. Powell’s contrivance. After hearing from the inventor, the Sentinel will probably (rdﬂtain something more definite concerning the workings of this wonderful invention.— Rochester (Ind.) Sentinel. ; ‘ :

~ A boy was terribly bitten in the face by a dog at Lagrange a few days ago, his nose haying been nearly torn from his face, and his cheeks and mouth severely bitten. The dog belonged to a farmer and pounced upon the boy as he passed the wagon in which the dog was engaged in- watching.
