TAPPING TI1K WIttKS.
The riot of the strikers on the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad has assumed serious
proportions, and the Governor of West
Virgiuia has made a formal application to
the Executive of the United States for
troops to quell the same. Mr. Hayes
has answered the demand, and troops are
being sent forward to the scene of tie dis
turbance.
The Western people have not much confi
dence in Gen. Freedman Bureau Howard’s
Indian war tactics and criticise them merci
lessly. He has his mountain artillerymen
on heavy horses unfit for mountain service,
and they will soon be afoot. He has left
Fort Boise without a garrison and the whole
Of southern Idaho without troops.
Various patriotic bottle holders of the
Republican party who hold places on the
Republican Executive Committees in several
States, and also Federal offices, now have
the choice of positions. It is needless to
say that the last one of them will hold on to
the office that pays and let the other slide.
Ex-Governor Samuel J. Tilden, who was
elected President of the United States, and
cheated of the office by fraud, sailed for
Europe yesterday. He will bo absent on
his tour until October next, when he will
rotarn to New York.

The residence of William Anderson at
Worthville, Kv., was fired while the family
were asleep, and his daughter, who came

The motives and parties connected with this
dreadful affair are unknown.
The Second Iufantry, en route to the seat
of the Indian war, passed through the town
of Wallace in Kansas yesterday and will

The director of the Roumelian lines of
railway has arrived at Adrianople with the
object of getting all the rolling stock back
from Phillipolis and further on the lino of

Correspondents confirm the capture of
the Turkish garrison aud artillery at
Nicopolis. The Russians encircled the
fortress with an overwhelming fire, which
the batteries at Tnrnu Magureli assisted.
A Ministerial crisis is impending in Con
stantinople. The Minister of Foreign Af
fairs has resigned, and the Sultan is re

peace.
The Snltan has decided on the formation
of ten battalions of auxiliaries, composed
of Mussulmans and non-Mussulmans, in
Constantinople, to reinforce the Roumelian

Tbe Turks burnt the stores and principal

Speaking of the Constitutional Con
vention now in session at Atlanta, the
Chicago Inter-Ocean vexes its righteous
soul overmuch, lost that body should do
something terrible before it adjourns, and
says of it that “the convention represents
organized action by a dangerous ele
ment.”
The Inter-Ocean is a paper of the ma
lignant typ°, hence this anxiety and
worry over other people’s affairs. Per
haps we can console it, however, when
we remind it that the convention is to
adopt a constitution for the government
of Georgia; that its members were
chosen by the people of Georgia
for that purpose, aud that it will
not attempt to dictate to, or interfere
with, Illinois or Chicago in the slightest
degree. Indeed, it will probably have
nothing at all to do with those localities
beyond providing for the extradition of
some carpet-bagger or other thief from
that section, who may have visited Geor
gia for the purpose of plying his vocation,
and then attempted to evade our laws by
returning home. So let the 1 nter-Ocean
but keep its friends and supporters away
from us, and we can assure ifc that no
harm will come to them as far as Georgia
is concerned.
We have received a communication
from a gentleman in Starke, Florida,
requesting us to republish the facts con
cerning the “Kemper county massacre,”
iu Mississippi, inasmuch as a Mrs. Clem-
mer read a poem at the celebrated
lUaine-Chamberlain Woodstock demon
stration on the Fourth of July last, tend
ing to martyrize the persons who were
killed, and holding the people of Missis
sippi, generally, up to execration.
We published full particular^ of the
affair at the time it occurred, and it is
hardly necessary to take up space with it
again at this late date. We beg leave to
remind our correspondent, however, that
experience has fully demonstrated the
fact that Northern Fourtk-of-July
poetasters have, from time immemorial,
been very much given to speaking false
hoods about the South, and certainly
there was no reason to expect that any
truth whatever could have emanated from
any one who took part at a meeting, got
ten up on that day, specially to enable
such men as Blaine and Chamberlain
to indulge in their foolish ravings regard
ing this section.
After all, manufactures are probably the
chiefest reliance of a city for wealth and
prosperity. A Philadelphia paper shows
that while there has been great depres
sion in the dry goods trade, the manu
factures of that city are in a remarkably
flourishing condition, some of them doing
a better business than at any previous
period. The production this year is
estimated at six hundred million dollars,
against five hundred and fifty-two mil
lion dollars last year. Hard times have
made themselves felt everywhere, but it
is a noticeable fact that those cities which
Rave cultivated their manufacturing in
terests have generally been able to make
greater headway against them than have
other places.
Pisciculture iu Georgia,
The stocking of the different streams
of the couutry with shad is likely to
prove of great benefit to tho inhabitants
of those localities where this delicious fish
has heretofore been comparatively un
known, aud we are glad to see that Geor
gia is not being neglected in the general
distribution. Mr. Charles D. Griswold,
in the employ of the United States Fish
Commission, with his assistant, Mr.
Carl Sherman, has recently visited Co
lumbus. and placed fifiy thousand young
idiad in the Chattahoochee river at that
place, and also deposited the same num
ber in that stream at West Point.
These gentlemen left Holyoke, Massa
chusetts, on the Connecticut river, on
Friday last, at which place the Fish Com
mission are engaged in hatching out shad
for the purpose designated. The process
of this hatching will prove interesting to
sportsmen genera'ly, aud lovers of this
favorite species of the finny tribe in par
ticular. It is thus described :
The spawn from five female shad,
averaging about twenty thousand eggs
each, is placed in a pan about one-fourth
filled with water. The eggs are then im
pregnated by artificial means, and in
about twenty minutes swell from the
s'za of a grass seed to that of a small pea;
they are then placed in another vessel
containing pure water and washed, when
they become quite hard. When brought
to this condition, they are placed in
hatching boxes,where they are kept from
three to six days, according to the tem
perature of the water. About seventy
degrees will hatch the eggs out in three
days, and this is the temperature usually
desired. Upon being hatched the young
fish are provided with a natural supply
of nourishment which lasts about three
days, after which time they are left to
take care of themselves.
It is a curious fact that in this matter
of hatching shad, science has proven
superior to nature. Nature hatches only
about one fish in a thousand that lives more
than three days, while science produces
ninety per cent, which live long enough
to be planted. This may be accounted
for by the theory that eels and other fish
follow the parent shad as it goes to its
spawning place, and devour a greater
proportion of the eggs which are deposi
ted.
It has never been ascertained upon
what to feed the young shad, and unless
they are deposited in large bodies of
water, within eight days after being
hatched, they will starve to death. When
so deposited, however, they feed oa
something yet undiscovered by science.
Iu transporting the shad recently
placed in the Chattahoochee to their
points of destination, they were put iu
eighteen gallon cans, and the water in
these had to be changed every two hours.
It is calculated that in about three years
that stream will be plentifully stocked
with the fish, and the people living in its
vicinity can then enjoy bountiful feasts
upon fresh shad, a luxury they have, to
great extent heretofore, been unfamiliar
with. We hope the experiment of pisci
culture in Georgia will there, and every
where it is attempted, prove a decided
success.
A marked instance of the fickloneFs of
fortune, and how circumslances com
pletely control the actions of men, has
just come to light in Connecticut. Gran
ville Ely was the son of the late Elias
E ! y, a lawyer of some prominence in
Now York at one time, anyl who had
amassed quite a fortune in his profession.
Granville, being an only son, was hu
mored in every way. His father gave
him twenty thousand dollars a year to
spend as he pleased, and as he gave
very handsome banquets and enter
tainments, and as he added wit to
wealth, and drove fine horses besides,
ho was a great toast and lion with all
those fortunate enough to know him
aud enjoy his hospitality. A few years
since, however, his father died in reduced
circumstances, and the sou, evidently for
the purpose of keeping up his extrava
gant mode of life, committed a forgery,
of which crime he was convicted and
sent to Sing-Sing. He has since then
committed several acts of petty larceny,
and on Monday last was arrested for
.stealing a coat. It is asserted that he
has several times been arrested for such
thefts, and evidently, in his present low
condition, he cannot refrain from stealing
anything coming within his reach. He
has changed so much in personal appear
ance that he is scarcely recognizable by
those who were his intimate friends eight
years ago. He is highly educated and
belongs to an aristocratic family, being a
near relative of the Hon. Zebulon Ely,
of New York city, and Samuel C. Ely, of
Lyme.
Ex-Marshal Pitkin has his war paint on
in earnest. He passed through Cincin
nati a few days since on his way back to
New Orleans. While there, in conversa
tion with a friend, he stated that he
would be back in Ohio in about ten days,
and that the statement telegraphed to the
West that in the organization of the
House of Representatives he and Marshal
Packard W’ould aid Hayes was false, and
that Hayes and his friends would realize
that fact in due time. Speaking of the
interview between Mr. Hayes and
one Glendy Burke, in which the latter
was reported as having told the President
that Governor Nieholls would act in a
conservative manner and throw his in
fluence in opposition to any worrying of
the returning board, he said that, while
Glendy Burke was favorably known in
the community in #hieh he lived, never
theless he was not a representative man
or one possessed of a particle of political
influence; therefore any promises he
might make to Hay.es would simply
amount to nothing.
Famine seems to be of unusual occur
rence in British India, while at the same
time we read in print a great deal about
the prospect of India becoming a rival of
our own country as a source of food sup-
pi j- for tho markets of the British Isles.
It is one of the anomalies of modern com
merce that Indian wheat is actually im
ported into England at the same time
that famine rages in Hindostan. It is
explainable upon the basis that food is
raised in some districts for export, while
in other districts the crops have failed.
But the extreme indigence of most of
thn agricultural classes is such that the
faiiure of a crop renders a famine likely.
British civilization labors under great
disadvantages from the peculiar nature of
the Hindoo social system, and the
enormous burdens of taxation saddled on
the ryots to support the native princes
and the expensive frame work of govern
ment. A land thus impoverished seems
to be rather a poor reliance as a source of
food supply.
To show the 'influence of members of
Congress, under the machine system of
politics, the Boston Journal says: “It
is stated on good authority that an officer
whom Gen. Grant removed from a re
sponsible place in the Western army be
cause he learned of his dishonesty, he
afterwards appointed a civil officer, un
der the rules of the ‘ spoils system.’”
General O. ^Howard’s Indian oppo.
nent has fairly earned and obtained the
soubriquet of “Fighting Joe.”
Tbe Louisiaua Returning Board.
The members of this board, so famous
for its infamy, are endeavoring to find
i consolation, aud work up a sentimeut of
: sympathy towards themselves. They have
| published a statement, over their several
j signatures, to the effect that no present
ment was made of them by the grand
jury in Orleans parish for “forgery, per
jury and malfeasance in office.” They
claim that ali that has been done amounts
to this:
“Information embracing the above
charges has been formally filed by the
District Attorney, aud on that informa
tion, Wells and his associates have been
held to bail. They say that the informa
tion was filed on the 15th of June, and
that the grand jury continued in session
until the close of the month, when they
were discharged without presenting a bill
of indictment. As the court adjourned
on the 7th of July for ninety days, no
further action can possibly be taken until
it reas* embles. The accused parties as
sume that as the grand jury separated
without authorizing an indictment ( it is
fair to conclude that they did not find
evidence sufficient to justify it,’ and
they intimate that as nothing can be done
with the cases in court until September
next, the intention in filing the informa
tion was that they should suffer under
the charges thus preferred until the court
was reopened in the fall.”
It may be as these men claim, and the
proceedings against them may fall to the
ground, but it is hardly likely that they
would have been arrested and held to bail,
unless there had been something serious in
the charges made. At any rate the country
will know more about it when the court
reopens, and in the meantime it would be
well for them to get to work and try and
fiud evidence in their favor—if they can.
We have on our table August numbers
of the Eclectic Magazine and the Popular
Science Monthly. They are each good 4 ’pub-
lications, and fully up to their well-known
standards.
The Eclectic Magazine has, as its frontis
piece, a portrait of Mr. Paul H. Hayne,
of South Carolina, prominent among
Southern poets and literati, and which is
accompanied with a short sketch of his
life. The contents, generally, of the
magazine, are, as usual very interesting,
and comprise the following articles :
“The Contest of Church and State in
Italy;” “Twenty Years of African Travel;”
Genius aud Vanity;” “To Victor Hugo,”
a sonnet by Alfred Tennyson; “Life and
Times of Thomas Becket,” by James An
thony Froude: “Pera,” a sketch of Con
stantinople: “Is the Moon Dead?”
“George Frederick Cooke,” the actor;
“Ex-Voto,” by Charles Algernon Swin
burne; “Young Musgrave,” three chapters
of a novel by Mrs. Oliphant; “George
Sand,” by Matthew Arnold; “Ave Maria:
a Breton Legend,” by Alfred Austin
“Amongst the Cossacks of the Dod;’
“Teaching to Read,” by James Spedding;
and “Lines on a Beautiful Girl.”
The Popular Science Monthly contains
its customary supply of scientific articles,
together with its editor’s table, literary
notices and popular miscellany. It is a
very entertaining number.
A Washington dispatch, of the 15th
inst., gives some particulars regardmg
the appointment of a master carpenter in
the navy yard at that city under (he civil
service reform rule of competitive ex
amination, which, if true, proves the
system as carried on to be no better than
a farce. It says:
“The master carpenter at a yard is not
only in charge of a gang of carpenters
but is responsible for all the carpenters’
stores, so that the position is p. pretty
responsible one, and nearly all the
qualifications needed for it are such as no
examination can develop. So many ap
plications were made for a recent va
cfcncy, however, that au examination was
ordered, to which the six applicants most
heavily endorsed were admitted. One of
the six, B. Simpson, looked over the
questions and retreated. Of the five re
maining, James A. Marceron was recom
mended by the Board of Examiners, and
its report approved all the way up to
Secietary Thompson. There the matter
rested untii, by some curious reform
principle, a private examination was
ordered for Simpson, and at that he is
said to hfcve blundered frightfully.
Simpson is now master carpenter.
Simpson, it may be well to say, had the
strongest sort of political backing.”
Colonel W. L. Wood, who for nearly
twenty years has been Clerk of the
House Committee on Public Lands, is
now engaged in revising and correcting,
under authority of Congress, the re
markable “Centennial Map of the United
States,” which formed part of the exhibit
of the General Land Office at Philadel
phia last year. This map, of the un
equalled dimensions of twelve by ten
feet, was commenced by Mr. Wood eight
years ago, and when completed by him
in accordance with his plans, for sub
mission to tho Public Lands Committee
at the next meeting of Congress, will
doubtless be the most complete work of
the kind, not only for ordinary purposes
but for educational, scientific and com
mercial uses, that has ever been prepared.
The residents of Old Town, Maine, are
in a blaze of excitement over the reported
discovery cf gold there by men who were
blasting for a reservoir. Several miners,
who have had large experience in the
quartz mines of California, have pro
nounced it a rich deposit. Pieces as large
as a pea are pronounced pure gold. A
capitalist has agreed to invest fifteen
thousand dollars if a etock company be
raised. The blasting of the ledge is now
going on. The owner of a half acre
adjacent to the reservoir has been offered
five thousand dollars for his claim.
A New York letter say3 the Democrats
are going to make another earnest effort
to reduce the tariff at the next session of
Congress. It is asserted that Fernando
Wood, S. S. Cox and other members are
now in frequent communication with
many of the leading importers and mer
chants, gaining fresh information aud
new points on the subject. The Demo
cratic State committee als» intend to
urge the approaching State convention to
take strong ground in the same direction.
The watchword is to be : “A tariff for
revenue only.”
Ex-Senator Buokalew, of Pennsylvania,
is credited with having said a few days
ago that he considered it idle for the
Democrats to talk of nominating any one
but Mr. Tilden for President in 1880, and
that he regarded Mr. Tilden as sure of
the nomination should he be willing to
accept it.
Twenty members of the Masonic fra
ternity of Trenton and twenty-five mem

Progress ic Japan.
A Mr. Yokohama, a native of Japan,
was recently ordained a deacon in the
Protestant Episcopal Church at Alexan
dria, Virginia, having passed through the
theological seminary at that city. On
his graduation he read an essay on pro
gress in Japan, which gives some quite
interesting points regarding that coun
try. In this essay he refers to recent
changes, political, educational and social,
in Japan, which, in his opinion, have pre
pared that country for Christianity and a
higher civilization. He speaks of the
material improvements as wonderful in
every department of life. The old sys
tems of education are given up, and in
their place new model public
schools, seminaries, colleges, univer
sities and normal schools have been
established under the patronage of the
imperial government, and many foreign
teachers and professors have accepted
chairs in their schools. Books of a moral,
medical and scientific character have been
translated, and also books of law, mathe
matics, geology, astronomy and political
economy are already used as text books
in their schools. The military organiza
tion is now entirely established tipon the
best improved systems of Europe. Steam
engines are now introduced into Japanese
manufactories, and railroads, steamships
and telegraphic lines are extensively used
for modes of communication. The essay
of Mr. Yokohama is not only interesting
and encouraging in the highest degree as
to the future of Japan, but, in its plain,
practical an.l logical statements, reflects
credit upon his culture and common
sense.
The Tunnel Between England and
France.
It is now three-quarters of a century
since the project was breached of driving
a tunnel through the chalk formation
underlying the British channel between
some point on the Euglish coast and the
opposite point on the coast of France.
Although the distance between Dover and
Calais is only twenty-two miles, aud is
traversed by steamers in an hour and a
half in fair weather, yet the roughness
of the channel is at all times such as to
be very distressing to all but experienced
travelers, and deters many persons from
making the trip at all. Since the
introduction of railways forty
years ago the tunnel project which Mr.
Mathieu, a French engineer, laid before
Bonaparte in 1802, has acquired year by
year additional importance. About ten
years ago the subject was revived with
much earnestness, and after the experi
mental tests were found to be satisfactory
the governments of England aud France
granted the right of way to a channel
company which was incorporated in 1872.
This company has since cecided to place
the route of the tunnel “on a line drawn
from the south foreland on the Euglish
side to a point between Sangatte and Ca
lais in France.”
The tunnel, if it should be constructed,
will commence and end at some distance
inland, to allow for a gradual descent on
one sid3 and ascent on the other. The
inland parts of the tunnel will be nine
miles in length, counting the distance
underground at both sides. The length
of the tunnel under tho channel will be
twenty-two miles, making the total
length twenty-one miles. The cost of
simply driving the tunnel from end to
end through the underlying chalk forma
tion is estimated at four millions of dol
lars, and the time it would require to con
struct the driftway two years. The engi
neers calculate that it would take four
years more to finish the work, in
cluding the arching of the tunnel,
building the offices and making the ne
cessary connections with the railways on
l>oth sides. The total cost is put at
twenty millions of dollars. A short time
ago a meeting of the tunnel company was
held in Paris, at which were read the re
ports of the engineers engaged during
the past year in making th£ preliminary
submarine surveys. These surveys were
pronounced quite satisfactory, a continu
ous bed of chalk having been traced
underlying the channel from shore to
shore. As a further experimental test of
tho practicability of the scheme the sum
of one hundred and sixty thousand
pound*, sterling has been provided (prin
cipally by the railway companies in
terested in the prosecution of the work)
to sink pits on both sides into the chalk
beds aDd drive a section of the tunnel
half a mile under the waters of the
channel.
Thus far everything works favorable to
the ultimate completion of this great en
gineering project. Whether the neces
sary amount of capital can be obtaiued is
the chief problem now to be solved. An
attempt has been made to show that suf
ficient revenue could be derived from
passengers to pay a fair interest on the
capital invested, in addition to the current
expenses of lighting, ventilating and
operating thi3 long line of road under the
bed of the sea. The number of
persons crossing the channel an
nually between Dover and Calais
is believed to be about four hundred
thousand. The theory is that this num
ber would be doubled if the tunnel were
built, and the sickness incidental to the
sea voyage thus avoided. But it is not
shown that a tunnel thirty-one miles in
length would itself bo free from equally
serious objections. The project, never
theless, is a grand one, and if capitalists
can be induced to believe that the tunnel
can be made to pay there is abundance of
money wherewith to build it now seeking
investment.—Baltimoi'e Sun.
1 lie Union of Airericau Hebrews.
The Union of American Hebrew con
gregations, which was in session in Phila
delphia last week, promises to be the
source of much good to the Jewish peo
ple of this country. This the fourth an
nual council of the union, and the success
of its labors in uniting the Hebrews and
encouraging educational and benevolent
institutions among them has already
been sufficient to deserve warm commen
dation. There are two national bodies
composed of delegates from Hebrew con
gregations—the Board of Delegates of
American Israelites, holding its annual
sessions in New York city and having its
principal strength in the Eastern States,
being the other; while the union which
assembled at Philadelphia last Tuesday
represents mainly the Western and South
ern States. Efforts have been made to
unite the two organizations, but have so
far failed, although sanguine expectations
are still indulged that the basis of union
will yet be agreed on. Meantime the
union is working energetically to im
prove the condition of the Jewish race in
America, and has already established a
male college at Cincinnati, and steps are
about to be taken to found a female col
lege in the same city. In addition to this
the union is endeavoring to obtain means
to aid the Jewish residents of Roumaoia
and Servia, who are constantly complain
ing of persecutions and oppressions. A
project has been suggested and is earn
estly advocated by some of the most in
fluential delegates in the council to obtain
several thousand acres of good farming
land in the United States and encourage
the Jews in those countries to emi
grate to Aiqerica and establish an agricul
tural colony. The idea is an excellent
one, and in many ways would prove of
great benefit to the Jews of America, who
have hitherto almost entirely neglected
agricultural pursuits. A Jewish farming
community would be very much of a
novelty in this country, but though they
so rarely turn their attention to agricul
ture in this country there is no doubt that
the same thrift, industry and untiring
energy which distinguish them in com
mercial pursuits would still be displayed
if they became farmers. The union in
vites donations for the purpose of estab
lishing this colonization scheme, and there
is every reason to expect that an organi
zation representing such great wealth
will not be long in accumulating the ne
cessary funds.—St. Louis Republican.
A man named McVey and his two sons,
assaulted aud severely beat a daughter
and sister in New York on Sunday, be
cause she informed on another man
named McCann, for having committed a
robbery, and because, on the trial, she
gave testimony which convicted McCann,
and caused him to be sentenced to the
State prison for eighteen months. It
seems that the McVeys were members of
the same robber gang with McCann, and
hence their animosity against the girl for
her conduct. She was very badly beat
en, but had her father and brothers ar
rested and locked up for trial.

[By Cable to the Morning News.]
London, July IS.—The Turks at Nicopolis
burnt the stores and the principal buildings
before retreating.
A correspondent of the. Times at Bucha
rest sends tho following, dated 17th inst.:
“To-day the Cossacks under Baron Kru-
derer are said to hav3 reached Lom Palan
ka, and are advancing towards Widin from
the Dobrudscha. The Russians are re
ported to have marched to tho south of Si
listria, which will be blockaded, thereby cut
ting the quadrilateral iu two and fully pro
tecting the Russian communications on the
Danube.”
Lest tho Russian flying column should
reach the main line of the railway, the
director of the Roumelian lines has arrived
at Adrianople to get all the rolling stock
back from Phillipolis and farther on.
The Manchester Guardian's Vienna dis
patch states that the two Pashas who sur
rendered at Nicopolis aro the same who re
cently permitted two hundred and sixty pon
toons to pass Nicopolis for building the Sis-
tova bridge. Bribery is suspected.
A Times dispatch from Peru contains the
following: “An unofficial order announces
that the Saltan has decided on the imme
diate formation of ten battalions of auxilia
ries composed of Mussulman aud non-Mus
sulman inhabitants of Constantinople for
the reinforcement of tho army of Rou-
melia.”
A Daily News dispatch, dated Vienna,
Tuesday night, announces that the Czar
has arrived at Frateshti, five miles north of
Giurgevo. This indicates that the time
has come for commencing the investment
of Rustchnk.
There is no confirmation yet of the report
that Ruof Pasha had defeated the Russians
south of the Balkans. He has, including tbe
garrison of Adrianople, hardly ten thousand
men.
A ministerial crisis is said to be impend
ing at Constantinople. The Saltan is re
ported to be strongly inclined to make
peace, having already givon Namyk Pasha,
at Shumla, personal instructions on this sub
ject. Young Turks oppose this policy.
The Daily News' Vienna correspondent
estimates the number of I{a3sians south of
the Balkans at twenty-two thousand.
Various special correspondents of the Lon
don papers, including that of the News,
atTuruu Magureli, who was au eye witness
of tho operations, fully confirm tho capture
of tho Turkish garrisou and artillery of
Nicopolis. The surrender seems to have
been brought about by encircling Nico
polis with an overwhelming artillery fire, to
which the Russian and Roumanian batteries
at Turnu Magureli contributed. There was
three hours’ fighting on the Glacis.
The Daily News' Vienna epecial announces
that tbe Turks have abandoned tbe line of
defence from Tchernavoda to Kustendje.
Pesth, July 18.—Tho passage of the Bal
kans has produced the most profound com
sternation here. Hungarian journals ener
getically demand immediate action of Aus-
tro-Hungary against Russia. The semi
official organs are less emphatic, and urge
delay until after the first decisive battle.
Constantinople, July 18.—Savfet Pasha,
the Turkish Foreign Minister, has resigned.
Adrif Pasha, who has once already been
Foreign Minister to Venice and Ambassador
to Vienna, succeeds Savfet Pasha.
[Note.—Savfet Pasha has been long bo-
lie vod to favor peace.]
London, July 18.—The Reuter Telegram
Company has received the following dis
patches :
Eb/eroum, July 16.—The Russians con*
tinue to retreat in the direction of Kerhn-
dera and Alexandropol.
Gen. Melikoff is still at Venikoi, four
hoars to the north of tho Turkish centre.
Twenty-three members of leading Kurdish
families inhabiting Russian territory haye
been courtmartialed and hanged by order
of Gen. Melikoff.
Constantinople, Jnly 18.—Intelligence
has been received from Adrianople that
Rouf Pasha is encamped at Sliyno. The
Russians on tho southern side of the
Balkans are at Rainkoj. Their numbers are
unknown, but they are constantly receiving
reinforcements, while Rouf Pasha is com
pelled by numerical inferiority to remain on
tfie defensive until the arrival of Suleiman
Pasha, who is expected in three days.
Savfet Pasha, who resigned the Ministry
of Foreign Affairs, has been appointed Min
ister of Public Works.
The Ottoman authorities upon evacuating
Kustendji entrusted the town to leading
Greek ecclesiastics, and each anarchy arose
among the Bulgarians that Gen. Z.mrncr-
man, at the request of Mr. Harris, Director
of Railways, sent two squadrons of Cossacks
to occupy the place.
Vienna, July 13.—The Political Corres
pondence denies that any superior Russian
functionary has arrived or is expected in
•puna on a special mission from the Czar.
A dispatch to the same paper reports that
the Bosnian insurgents have defeated the
garrison of Lirno, and are now besieging it
in the citadel of that town.
Cettinje, July 18.—The Prince of Monte
negro’s headquarters have been transferred
to Slirlje, near Nicsio. All Montenegrins
on furlough are ordered to join their re
spective battalions to-morrow.

Washington, July 18.—The President is

ment has ordered General French, with the
troops under his command, about two hun
dred and firty, at the areenal here, and the
troops from Fort McHenry, to proceed to

HEAVY FAILURE IN NEW YORK.
TIfE RAILROAD TROUBLES IN WEST VIRGINIA.
Baltimore, July 18 —Quiet refgus along
tho whole line. The strikers have stopped
freights at Koyser, Grafton, Martiusburg
and Wheeling, and are waiting to see what
will happen. The military are waiting in
structions from the Governor of West Vir
ginia, and the managers of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad are acting with great
ciution and moderation to save loss of life
and property. There have been several
wounded, but no fatalities, as tbe Virginia
militia are loath to fire on the strikers. A
call upon the United States for troops is
quite probable.
Baltimore, July 18.—Up to 3 p. m. no
further violence has occurred. The strikers
have full possession of the road and no
freight trains are allowed to move. At
Martinsbnrg at noon to-day they went into
the workshops of the company and ordered
the men to stop work, which they refused
to do, when tue strikers retired.
Wheeling, W. Va., Julv 13.—The strike
along the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad is
growing more serious, and strikes are ex
pected to take place also on the Central
Ohio and Chicago divisions.
Later.—The Governor reports that the
Legislature of 1875 did not provide for the
organization or enrolling of the militia; that
there is no organized force except two
volunteer companies in the State, and in
order to protect the lives of the men and
prevent bloodshed ho was compelled to ask
for Federal troops. The rioters took forty
stand of arms from the volunteer companies
to-day. The Governor was very reluctant
to call for Federal aid, but deemed it neces
sary to do so to prevent the destruction of
lives and property. The railroad officials
are very reticent and no information can be
obtaiued from them.
Howard’s Indian tactics.
Boise City, July 13.—Howard has his
mounted artillery men on heavy horses
utterly unfit for n^ountain service, and tho
men will he afoot iu a few days. Fort Boice
has been left without a garrison, and tho
whole of southern Idaho without troops.

PRESIDENT-ELECT TILDEN SAILS FOR EUROPE.
New York, July 18.— Ex-Governor
Samuel J. Tilden and Secretary of State
Bigelow sailed for Europe to-day on board
the steamer Scythia. Mr. Tilden had de
clined any public send-off, but yet iho
steamer and wharf was crowded with hun
dreds of ladies and gentlemen, and great
enthusiasm prevailed. Among those pres
ent were Mayor Ely. Governor Tilden ar
rived on board shortly after 9 o’clock,
and held a levee on the deck until
11 o’clock, when the vessel sailed.
Ho looked well and hearty, and talked freely
and cheerfully with all. He said in answer
to questions that he thonght the prospects
of the Democratic party were extremely bril
liant. In regard to his case he had nothing
more to say beyond that contained in hi3
Manhattan Club speech—that it was a great
wrong inflicted on the people. He felt sure
these things would be righted in tbe future.
He said that he would certainly return in
Uctober from his tour. What route Heore-
tary Bigelow and himself will take in Europe
they have pot yet decided upon, but they
will travel quietly and privately.

Vagme Feminine Chronology.—Miss
Corisande was bora only two years earlier
than her brother Tom. When Tom was
ten years old she gloried because she was
twelve. When Tom was known to be
fourteen she confessed to sweet sixteen.
W T hen Tom proudly boasted of eighteen,
she timidly acknowledged herself past
nineteen. When he came home from
college, with a mustache and a vote, and
had a party in honor of his twenty first
birthday, she said to her friends, “What
a boyish fellow he is; who would think
that he is only a year younger than I ?”
And when Tom declared he was twenty-
five years and old enough to get married,
she said to a gentleman friend, “Do you
know, I feel savagely jealous to think of
Tom getting married. But then I sup
pose twins are always more attached to
each other than other brothers and sis
ters.” And two years later, al Tom’s
wedding, she said with girlish vivacity to
the wedding guests, “Dear old Tom, to
see him married to-night and then think
how, when he was only five years old,
they brought him in to see me, his baby
sister; I wonder if he thinks of it to
night?” You have met Miss Corisande,
probably. She lives in your town.—
