The telegrams state that if the Russians
capture Adrianople. a city situated one
hundred and twenty miles aouthweat of
Constantinople, and connected with it by
xail, the Sultan and his Government will
retire to Brusa or Brooasa. This latter
place is fifty-seven miles south of Con-
stantinppU, and fifteen eontfaeest of the
sea of Marmora. In 1856 it had a popu
lation of 102,007, of whom 64,087 were
Mohammedans, 87,178 Greeks, 9,248 'Ar
menians and 2,404 Jaws. It hss
an extensive trade in carpets,
clothe, eilka and aatins which
are largely manufactured In the town.
Under the Romans it wee the residence
of Pliny the Younger. Wrested from
the Greek emperor by Orkbaw, the eon
of the founder of the Ottoman dynasty,
it became the Met of government to Ad-
rianople. The tombs of the anoient Sal'
tana, the mosques of which them am
about 200, and other remarkable private
end publio buildings, with fountains, with
the superb view from Mount Olympus, all
contributed to enhanoe the beanty of tbs

Too Muon Talk.—There is too mneh

who have none and desire to impress
their views on the fundamental lew of the
land. Gentlemen, give us a mat. Do

Great men will arise after the members

We entered a hotel, no matter where or
when, and on being oomfortably seated
and brought an elegant rammer dinner,
onr welter, a very oiever “American otlt-
xen of African descent," as tbe “lets la
mented” termed tbe rtoe, remarked,
“We've lost a boarder." Onr dinner wee
tempting, the wrather waa sultry, but we
managed sufficient breath to answer
“how f” “Mr. Is deed.” That sets
man to thinking while enjoying the
postprandial oigar. Generalising tbe idee,
there it an immense deal of truth in the
Innocent observation of that colored
man. After all we are simply “board
ers." We live and die, subsist end go
out—simply boarders on earth. We ere
thought of next day. That is all. To
morrow-well it ie too hot to follow tbe
suggestion. We leave the reat to the
miniaters. It ia e splendid text from
whioh to teaoh the mutability ot ail
things. Simply “a boarder.” Happy for
him if be leavM no bills behind and haa
funds, material for thepMt, and moral or

The Btbixxm.—Tha revolution of stri
kers end the mob, conseqMMt upon their,
lawless action, has about subsided. The
railroad oompraiee have Won, because
they had the lew on their' aide, and the
action of the disturb***, in stopping
trains from running end sum from gain
ing employment, was against Urn good of
society and in oootraveution of pnblio
interests. Their conduet at enoe debarred
them from the sympstliy. which they
might otherwise have experlenoed. Tbeir
example set in motion alt tha mean
foroee of the country—the hammer, tbe
thief and the inoendtsry. Tha disorder
end turbulenoe ate well nigh ended, end
tbe country breathes easier. The suffer
ers are the poor people of tha eountry,
and months will be required to overcome
tha derangement to butinese. The chief
hem done belong* to the strikers them
selves. Buob an experiment will hardly
be tried again.
Sues Hbadwat had the mob obtained
in St. Louis that they bad the
impudenoe to tall Mayor Overetolc to blh
faoe that no work waa to be done doriug
the present strike, but that he waa to fur
nish the strikers with food, free of charge,
until the railway companies were forced
to aooede to their term* for resuming
work. While this parley wss in progress.
Generals A. J. Smith and Basil Marma-
duka, veterans,respectively of the Federal
end Confederate armies, succeeded in
completing the organisation of an army
of five thousand elUiana, and before
nightfall had recived sufficient ami and
smmunlton from Jefferson Barracks to
provide each man with means of defense
and offense, and at a given signal the law
and order host petrolled the city and
cleared the streets of all dangerons and
nolay individuals. They then took posies
sion of the railroad depot, put men to
work on the trains, and the morning
Irafflc wee resumed, and there baa been
no more mob rale in St. Lonis.

Ms. R. M. Bishop, tbe Democratic
Homines for Governor of Ohio, is a native
of Fleming oonnty, Kentuoky, where he
waa born in J812. He wee engaged
the pork buetneae in that State until 1848 f
when he went to ClnoinnaU end engaged
in the grooery trade, and ia now the bead
of a bouse doing a bueinsee of $6,000,000
A year. In 1869 Mr. Biahop was Mayor
of Cincinnati.
Ei-United Statu Marshal, Bhsffman-
burg, of Colorado, is now in the Kenest
penitentiary for embeaaelmsnt. He ad
mit* that heapent $60,000 of his own
money, or rather money he stole from
the Government, to oarry Colorado for
Mr. Hayee and to elect Jerome Chaffee to
the United StatM Senate. Hie defalca
tion waa diaoovered and made pnblio in
too pronounood a manner for him to reap
any benefit from hia investment* daring
the campaign.
It is related of the laic General John 0.
Breckinridge that he had a eon (Caleb)
upon hia staff dnring ths oivil war, and at
tha terrible charge of the Kentuoky brig,
ad* at Murfreesboro be chose him to
oarry an order to a distant part of the line,
■aying, in reply to a remoaetranoe, that
he would not direot any offloer to faoe a
danger from which he would apar* a
member of hia own family. The boy gel-
loped safely through a storm of bullets,
delivered tha order, end returned unhurt.
Hxax la a soeue at the opening ot tha
Ohioago riot: Down oa eanal street the
mob passed by an old man who waa dig
ging a hole to get at a leaky gaa pipe or
drain. No one paid any attention to him
nor ha to any ora, until a big newsboy
with e bundle of p!to*ra under hie arm es
pied him. Grebbingy stick, the arch la
•pptoashed the hole nd shouted t “Get
out of there, you old ton of a gun, and
eoraa along!” Withoufa word of reply,
the terrified old fellow! climbed out sad
want along into tha rat'
gtinmug at bia heels.
People who read tha New York Herald
“personal” advertisements often wonder
what they mean. Some of them have
been explained in the bank robbery trial
in Springfield, Mam. Tbe conspirators in
this orlme used the personal column of
the Herald very freely to arrange meet
ings, etc. Upon' one oocaeion, if the
bank ergeed to a compromise it waa to
advertise “XXX” and sign “Hufas."
Another time they were to nee “Hope,”
end again “Barbara Hope. Nearly one-
half of tbe bearing trees ere girdled and
of little veine.” "Agatha” end “8. S. 8.”
were symbols of like importance. A large
portion of tha Herald's personal oolntnn
is need for oriminal and uaeful deteetive
pnrpoaaa.
Communism mean* that no man ehsll
hold what ha haa earned. It is e rale of
division that atrlkea at all labor. It be
gins by saying those who ere willing to
work shall not. It will end by the tramp,
and the bully, and thiaf, who never have
worked, claiming to share in every man’s
oup and plate. It baa already taxed the
workingmen by putting up the prioe of
provisions, in tbe blockade and waste of
freight. It will tax him atill heavief in
tha depression of trade and tha blows
that it has dealt to capital; for oapital and
labor in this oonntiy are Siamese twins
One oannot live when the other die*.
It ie reported that Gen. Brenton, of
Philadelphia, will bring charges against
Major Buffington, who oommanda the
anenal at Alleghany, for refusing shelter
to the militia when fleeing from the mob.
The troops retired hastily from the boya
who were throwing atones, it la remem
bered. Now, if all holes ere to be olosed
when a Philadelphia militia man retreats,
and if a U sited State* arsenal ia to ba uaad
solely tor ths vulgar purpoaa of storing
and protecting Government property in
stead ot for protecting Pennsylvania sol
dier* from the brlok-bata of tbeir fallow-
citlaeus, Major General Brenton would
like to know it before he dnwt his maty
blada again.
On. Pbaison, who commanded the mil
itia that fired upon the Pittabnrg mob,
bee not yet been found, but ie secreted
in that city and ia “all right.” When the
mob surrounded hie house Saturday night
his wife end three ohlldren, her mother
sod sister sought refuge in a friend’s
hones. Mrs. Paereon herself waa eo terri
fled that bar hair, which wm a brown eolov,
aotually turned whit* in on* night. The
moh had brought in a oot&n to bar and
swore that thsy ia tended to kill her hus
band and put him In it.

A oobbmpondbnt of a Northern paper
who wm an inmate of Fort Warren when
Messrs. Mason and Slidell were enter
tained there, describe* those gentlemen
aa very nniike. Meson was open, gener
ous and genial, Slidell self-poised, oold
and forbidding. Aa they entered tbe Fort
Mr. Mason showed some little nervona-
neaa, bnt more of • natural curiosity, as
be looked around. Mr. Slidell, with bie
gray ahawl mufflied closely around hie
neck, walked with the tame quiet indiffer
ence with wbieb he would alight from bis
own carriage and enter bia own house.
Escorted to bia quarters, Mr. Meson was
soon busy directing to deteile attending
the proper disposition of bis baggage,
while Mr. Slidell wm promenading—as if
in want of exeroisa—up and down tbe
long paaesge-wey of tho building. I wee
standing at the sod of the passage when
he wss approaehed by a gentleman who
desired instructions aa to the unpaoking
of hia tranks. Raising hie head qniokly
end fixing bis oold, glittering eyes upon
the speaker, he answered In an inoiatve,
rapid manner, ‘It is hardly neoeuary to
nnpaok anything; we eball remain here
only e sufficient length of time for Mr.
Bewtrd to bear from England.’ And
Mr. Slidell wm right.
Th* Seaarao Lying Olub’e meetings

over the Virginia and Balt Lake elreuit,
by means ot whioh four messages may
by sent simultaneously over a single wire.
The increased strain on the wire is not
visible her* in Anetin, bnt I was out at
Dry Creek yeaterdey and in that vicinity
tha wire was just hnmping itself, and
groaning end etralning, end dropping
words off in ohunks. I examined the
wire and found a knot in it, and earns to
the oonolnsion that a quadruples message
had atraok the koot and got tangled up
and atuok at that point. I tried to
straighten th* wire out, but a section of

it was not advisable to fool with the
