THE VOICE OF THE JOURNALS ON
ENGLAND'S DUTY.
London, Dec. 19.—Tlie Pal! Mail
Gazette, in a leading article, says the
Cabinet lias come toa wise resolution.
If in these days, after reading the
history of the last ten years, after
marking the relation of ‘continental
powers, after learning the lesson
which tlie condition of Europe at this
moment plainly teaches, if after tills,
any man thinks a rich empire cun
exist without ever asserting a dis-
position to fight for its possession
und existence, that man must be a
fool. If, without thinking so, lie
maintains liis point, then lie must lie
some kind of a traitor—the sort of
traitor, perhaps, who declares him
self a humanitarian or a churchman
first, and an Englishman afterwards.
Tlie Post says tlie summoning of
Parliament probably means no more
than a warning to the other Powers
that England does not propose to
allow the Eastern question to be set
tled by the three Emperors, and thnl
she must have some voice in tlie dis
posal of her own future.
VARIOUS RUMORS IN CIRCULATION—
UNEASY FEELING.
London, Dee. 18.—The Financier
of this morning says all sorts of state
ments, of more or less improbable
character, were in circulation in tlie
Stock Exchange Tuesday. Accord
ing to one there are dissensions in
tlie Cabinet; another affirms that
tlie Marquis of Salisbury, Secretary
of State for India, and Earl Carnovaii,
Secretary of State for Colonial De
partment, lire to quit; and another
says Lord Beaeonsfield, thus rid of a
clog upon ills policy, will.send troops
to Gallpoli. It was further reported
tlie Queen forwarded to the Min
isters a written memorandum,
or State paper, setting forth her
views upon tlie Eastern question,
and another report says that our
Cabinet has sounded Berlin with re
gard to a tentative move of Turkey In
the direction of an arrangement, and
sent an unfavorable answer; and so,
one might go on with an enumera
tion of idle reports and discussions,
which arc exciting men’s minds, the
multiplicity of which attests the uni
versal interest felt in tlie question at
issue and the general belief that
another crisis in tlie war is reached.
All that can be truly said is that an
uneasy feeling prevails.
VIEWS OF THE CABINET ON THE EAST
ERN QUESTION — DIFFERENCES —
PARLIAMENT MEETS ON THE 7TH—
INSOLENCE OF GERMANY’S REPLY.
Special la JSnqulrer-Sun.]
Manchester, December 19.—Tlie
London correspondent of tlie Guard
ian telegraphs: My anticipation as
to the meeting of Parliament on tlie
7th of January is confirmed. If Lord
Beaeonsfield's wishes had been fully
consulted, Parliament would meet
much earlier, so that tlie Cabinet
might liaye had the benefit of coun
cils of the nation in the proposed ar
rangements for peace. Seeing no
hope of carrying a majority of ids
s Eastern
hop .
colleagues with him in his
policy. Lord Beaeonsfield desired to
apply his old influence in Parliament,
for apart from the utility of such a
court, it relieves the Prime Minister
of much responsibility. Two or
three prominent members of the Cabi
net take their stand on the plea that
no questions which are beyond the
competence ot tlie Ministry have yet
come before them. There is the
further and more substantial reason
that tlie Premier’s influence with the
bulk of Ids party would bring upon
them an uncomfortable pressure in
favor of liis personal policy. Tlie
point lias now been fought in tlie
Cabinet with the result or a compro
mise. Instead of u December session,
which tlie Premier was known to de
sire, Parliament will meet three
weeks earlier than usual. Tlie date,
however, will be too far off to assist
tlie Ministry In the deliberations that
are now engaging their attention, and
which have induced them to sit this
week en permanence. The media
tion proposal is already dead, even
though Turkey may yield to the
pressure which is now applied to her
to except the conference proposals to
tlie full instead of her present otter to
place Her own reforms under the
guarantee of Europe. Russia is
backed by the more Influential pow
ers in her demand, that Turkey’s
overtures for peace shall in the first
instance be addressed to her. One of
the projects with which u section of
ll>.. I-til,Diet is credited is tllilt if
compel Russia to respect our interests
in ease of a single-handed peace. No
one suggests that Lord Beaeonsfield
would go to the extent of an immedi
ate declaration of war, but lie would
enter in u course of warnings and
tlireatenings which would inevitably
lend to wav, if Russia did not give
proof of unexpected moderation. It
is tills phase of the question which
lias occupied so much time during tlie
Cabinet sittings of Friday, Monday
and to-day- (Tuesday). No little
asperity lias been shown in these
discussions in consequence of what
may be regarded as an act of flagrant
party disloyalty by a very prominent
member of tlie Ministry. It
is stated that one of tlie most
active opponents of Lord Beacons-
field’s policy lias recently exchanged
opinions with Earl Granville and the
Marquis of Purtinglea as to the pros
pects of a coalition of the Ministry,
in order to carry out the Gladstone-
Sallshury policy. The two liberal
lenders are said to have thrown cold
water upon that suggestion. At the
present moment office is not particu
larly desirable, and if 1 judge rightly
neither of tlie noble Lords is likely
to be in favor of a coalition with the
Government.
The news of the overtures above re
ferred to, bus Hut just oozed out, and
if tlie incident lias caused as much in
dignation in the cabinet us It lias in
the Conservative, the clubs on Down
ing si reet must have been a very warm
cornel*during the past few days.
Note.—The foregoing probabably
gives a very lair idea of tlie political
situation in London, though there
there are many other and conflicting
rumors, one of which is that Eng
land's overtures to Germany for Joint
action were refused in almost con
temptuous language.
The Liverpool Poet, n sort of
provincial Conservative organ, print
ed a London special dispatch yester
day, saying tliat the absoluteness and
almost insolence of tlie tone of Ger
many’s reply made a deep impression
in ministerial circles.

London, Dec. 19.—A Berlin dis

Since yesterday it inis become certain
that Prince Bismarck will not return
to Berlin this year. Dr. Sedow.Under

The Difference Between (he Rich Skob-

From the London Times.)
Here Isold Krudener absolutely re
fusing to go away, though lie’ lias
been offered a liberal pension repeat
edly. He is over 73 years of age, w as
full Colonel in tlie Polish campaign
of 1831, and has to be shovelled on lo
his horse by ids Cossack orderly; yet
he will not go away, and still contin
ues to misdirect a corps of 35,000 men.
It never Hcems to occur to the author
ities that a mistaken tenderness In
these old men is dentil to their troops.
At Nikopol Krudener made the
Ninth Cossacks charge a battery
mounted to HIh own intense satisfac
tion, hut to tlie utter destruction of
half the men and horses of tlie regi
ment.
At Brestovec village (the place from
which I write) isSkobelefTs advanced
forepost line, covered by artillery,
heavy siege guns, and rilled mortars.
His division, tlie Sixteenth, up to its
full number, is all ensconced in ex
cellent huts, a mile and a half further
back, prepared for any cold, and with
fireplace and chimney to every lull.
His is the only Russian camp I ev
er saw tliut is clean in tlie English
sense of the word. All others are
ptgstycs or worse, polluting tlie
streams and breeding disease, regard
less of consequences. His is clean.
His one object in life is to lie idolized
t ids men, and lie fully succeeds,
c appears to bear a charmed life.
Skobeleff suys, and lie says with
truth: “This is a new era in war,
and we are making experiments for
tlie benefit of others. The shovel and
tlie breech-loading rifle have changed
everything. Artillery goes for noth
ing; the Infantry assault is the only,
though the most precarious, mode of
success.” This, from a man who Inis
had greater triumphs Hum any other
in this army, is very valuable.
And he persists iii leading liis di
vision on himself, for he says he can
not find it in Ids heart, like others,
to send men on to death without
sharing their risks himself. Nobly
thought and nobly spoken. I have
begged him not to ride oneof his gray
horses to-day, but he says that to sec
him on any other would dishonor Ids
men. “If" l live to another campaign
I will not ride white horses, but I
cannot leave oft' now." These are
the calm words of a man who five
hours lienee Is going to wlmt is like
certain death.
Being a rich man, Skobeleff keeps
open table, and all liis brigadiers und
colonels sit down with Him twice
daily, quite unlike Gourko, of whom
it is said that “lie never dines,” but
takes tea occasionally, writing mid
working all the rest of the day. These
two are rivals in fume, but Skobeleff
is a rich young bachelor of 34, with
immense expectations, and Gourko,
a fatlierofa family, of 49, who bus
nothing but ills pay.
Each is a thorough soldier and each
perfect in liis way. Gourko, though
acavalry officer all liis life, is no
mere sabreur, but iw thoughtful, in
tellectual mail, who impresses you at
once with a sense of mental power.
He defends his raid through the Bal
kans on apparently sound strategic
grounds. At any rate it opened and
lias kept open the gale ol tlie Bal
kans.
Skobeleff lias a curious theory tliat
to attack positions you ought to be
gin late in the afternoon. This
makes it, if you fail, unlikely tliat
your enemy will retort with a coun
ter attack tliat night, and, on the
other hand, you have tlie whole
night to intrench. There is a good
deal in favor of tlie idea.

One of the most barefaced and suc
cessful swindling transactions that
ever disgraced Cincinnati was perpe
trated yesterday afternoon upon a
couple of guileless and unsuspecting
strangers, who were robbed of $1,100
in clean money. The victims are B.
F. Berkley mid \V. H. Hanford, of
Herein, Mercer county, Kentucky, a
station five miles from Danville.
They came to Ibis city day before
yesterday over tlie Soutlrern Road,
for the ostensible purpose of selling a
drove of hogs owned between them.
Yesterday morning tlie hogs were dis
posed of al the Union .Stock Yards,
and a check for payment was given
by Huddleson & Co. for tlie sum of
$1,-38 on tlie Fourth National Hank
of tliis city. After their business was
all settled, tlie Kentuckians, accom
panied by a young son of Berkley’s,
took a (rip to the Zoological Garden.
When their curiosity imd been satis-
lied by mi inspection of tlie wonders
of tliat place, the party started for the
city with (lie intention of taking tlie
train at Ludlow for their home.
When near the centre of the city
Hanford remembered tliat a parcel
which lie Had taken with 1dm had
been left at the garden, and parting
from liis companions went back for
it.
Berkley came on down town, and,
inquiring Ids way to the bank on
which liis check was drawn, went
there and Had it cashed, the teller
st in
humlred-dollur bills. After pocket
ing Ills roll of greenbacks lie started
for tlie store of A. J. Clark, the shirt
man, on West Fourth street, witti
whom lie had a little business, and
where lie hud agreed to await tlie ar
rival of ids partner, Biinford, who
had gone for Ids pared left at the Zoo.
While going lo Clark's, Berkley was
met by a young, well-dressed und
agreeable mini, who accosted him
heartily with:
“Hello, Mr. Fisher, how are you?”
Berkley replied that Ids mime was
not Fisher, and that he really did not
know who tlie stronger was.
"Why, you look exactly like a
friend of mine numeil Fisher. Wlmt
•is your name, then, miiv I ask?”
“They call me B. F. Berkley when
I’m at home in Mercer county, Ken
tucky.”
“Oil, I’m mistaken then. Excuse
me. Good day, sir."
They parted, the stranger going one
way, Berkley and liis hoy another.
About ten minutes afterward, during
which time stranger No. 1 hud met
lii.s confederate and posted him as to
liis prospective victim’s name and ad
dress, stranger No. 3 comes up und
says: “Why, Berkley, old fellow,
how arc you(Had to see you, I as
sure you.” “You huvethendvuntagr
of me, sir; I don't remember you.”
“Don't know Billy Welsh, nephew
of William Welsh, of Danville, Ky.”
“Why, is that you? Of course I
know Welsh, of Danville; lie's an old
friend of -mine," replied Berkley.
“Well, I'm Ids nephew, sure’s you
live.” Tills settled it with thecred-
uloii«Grauger, wlio felt that lie Imd
met a friend from home. At length
No. 3 pursunded him logo to a place
in the neighborhood of where
the meeting took place, saying
lie wished to show him some
thing worth seeing. Wind lo
cality they were in Is not known, as
Berkley did not even know the name
of tlie struct on which tlie encounter
took place. Ascending a pair of
stairs, in wlmt appeared to he a busi
ness house, tjic party entered a finely-
furnished room, where n man stood
behind u counter near a machine of
some kind Ural Imd a number of
figures mi 11. Directly afterward
stranger No. 1 comes in, but of course
docs not recognize No. J. “Welsh”
then commences the old bunko dodge
of drawing money from the man
behind (lie counter on a play lie imd
made. Then, in order to show liis
friend Heck Icy wlmt a nice game it
was, asked him to laydown $30, and
lie would explain how it worked.
The money was laid down, and re
mained wiicro it was placed. To still
further explain, $159 was asked for
und given -Just to explain (He game,
of course. Still being unsatisfied,
$1,090 was asked for, und witli the
same readiness it was produced and
placed beside the other. They Imd
sized Ids pile, and knew tluil was
alioul all lie imd; and then one of the
scoundrels coolly picked up tlie$>1,170
and put il in liis pocket, with tlie
remark, “I’ll keep tills.” Not
until tliut moment did tlie poor,
foolish Hockley suspect tliat lie
was in a deli of thieves. Tlie
I rutii flashed upon him in u
moment, and, with tlie demand for
liis money, lie pulled a knife from
Ills pocket. It was no use. Two pis
tols were instantly leveled at liis
bead, and lie was ordered from tlie
place. With grief and terror depicted
in liis countenance, and leading liis
crying boy by tin- lmnd, the robbed
mail stumbled down tin* stairs and
made liis way lo Ludlow, Ky., where
lie met Hanford, who then learned
for tlie llrsl time wlmt liail become of
liis and Bleckley's money. They
both returned to flic city and placed
llic imillcr in the hands of tin* Chief
of Police, who set the detectives to
work lo limit up tin* robbers. Detec
tive Mead arrested one who is sus
pected of being “Welsh,” and he is
held on suspicion at the Hammond
street station. It is none other than
William Lungdon, alias “Appetite
Hill,” one of the shrewdest sharpers
ill the city, llcisii collegiate with
the air of a first-class business man,
and lias no superior in his line of bus
iness. The detectives arc after two
others whom they suspect, but up to
one o'clock this morning Imd not

The vote was tlie largest ever cast in

ring rule and jobbery at the City
Hall was tlie result of a united, earn
est endeavor to purify municipal
polities, and to achieve tliis result the
Quuker vote was sought after and
largely obtained. There was some
feeling between tin* native Americans
and foreign-born citizens, which con
tributed to the result, and there was
also an antagonistic feeling against
Mayor Prince by the friends of ex-
Goveruor Gaston, who charged that
his defeat for the Governorship last
month was due to City Hull influence.
Mr. Pierce to-night received con
gratulatory dispatches from all parts
of the country. The figure- arc :
Pierce, Republican, 35,033 ; Prince,
Democrat, 33,883 ; Pierce’s majority,
3,151, a Republican gain of over 5,000
on last year's vote.

Nelienek** Mandrake Pill*
Will Uo fouiul to possess those qualities
necessary to the total eradication of all
bilious attacks, prompt to start the se
cretions of the liver, aud give a healthy
tone to the entire system. Indeed, ft
is no ordinary discovery in modical
science to have invented a remedy for
these stubborn complaints. whlcli de
velop all the results produced by a
heretofore free nso of ealomel, a min
eral justly dreaded by mankind, and
acknowledged to be destructive in the
extreme to the human system. That
the properties of eertrin vegetables
comprise all the virtues of calomel
without its injurious tendencies, is now
an admitted fart, rendered indisputa
ble by scientific researches; and those
who use the Mandrake Pills will be
fully satlstled that the best medicines
are those provided, by nature in the
common herbs and roots of the fields.
These Pills open tlie bowels und cor
rect all bilious derangements without
salivation or any of tlie injurious
effects of calomel or other poisons. The
secretion of bile is promoted by these
Pills, as will be seen by tlie altered
color of the stools, and disappearing of
the sallow complexion and cleansing of
the tongue.
Amnle directions for use accompany
each box of pills. Prepared only by
