European Crisis.
The war between Turkey and Rus
sia has temporarily, if not perma
nently, ended. The Russians appear
to have possession of all the fortifi
cations on the Danube, Black Soa,
in Roumanio and on the Dardanelles,
and, further, still, the Turkish fleet in
the Black Sea. Russians virtually
occupy Constantinople. Tbe Turkish
soldiers havo been withdrawn from
the defenses of Constantinople, nnd
the Russian soldiers have occupied
them. For over five hundred years
have the Turks held this mistress ol
the Black Sea entrance, and, doubtless,
consternation and dismay roign
among the Turkish people, while Eng
land is particularly exercised relative
to the Russian occupancy.
Greece appears to be quieted by-
Russia or Turkey, or both, while
S< rvia has been hushed with hopeful
promises from some i ower. There is
a strangeness in the state of affairs
about Constantinople, which we cau
not solve. The Turks suffer the
Russians to advance and dictate, as
though nn understanding existed be
tween them.
Russia’s- military honor now ap
pear to-be materially aflictir.g British

English fleets now in their approach
to the city of Constantinople will en
counter the heavy guns of Turkish
forts,which once proud y saluted th ir
approach, and instead of a_peaceful
welcome, will meet with sulphurous
resistance.
England is astir with excite
ment, and cries of ‘‘Lord save the
Queen.” £6,000.000 was voted for
the government to defend British in
terest at Constantinople. What the
future will bring forth we will learn
only by waiting. The War cloud,
recently broken, begins to thicken,
and the mutterings of the war storm
are heard in the expectations of Eu
orpe.
Hon. H, W. Hilliard
has at last been confirmed as Minis
ter to Brazil. The appointment by
Mr. Hayes was well maJe, aud noth
ing but partizan revenge caused any
opposition to the appointment. The
action of the Senate in opposing his
appointment was not prompted by
objections to Mr. Hilliard personally.
The opposition was intended foi
Georgia, whose papers generally ap
proved of the appointment, and en
tertained the highest regard for Mr.
Hilliard's character aud ability. It
was a reward offered by the apologist
for corruption, to Georgia, lor the
expositions made by the noble, patri
otic Gordon, and his efforts and suc
cess iu the overthrow of Republicans
in South Caroiino, and Brown, in
Florida. When law-makers suffer
their partizan prejudices to reward
the virtue, honesty and patriotism ol
a State Avitl so-little considerations,
it speaks unfavorably for their regard
for the weliare of the people.
The Educational Convention.
We thought vve would have re
ceived through’ tho Atlauta Consti
tion a full report ol the entire pro
ceedings before now, bat fast week
was one oi the times when that valu
able exchange forgot us or was de
layed through the mail. From other
exchanges we learn Prof. Gustavus
j. Orr was made permanent chair
man, and that’thc-States of Georgia,
Alabama, Teunesec, West Virginia,
Virginia, District of Columbia and
M spissouri, were represented. There
were over 100 delegates in attend
ance. A committee of fifteen was
appointed to memoralize Congress in
behalf of the educational interest of
the country. Some oi the best tal
ent and men of the highest literary
attainments in the country were there,
and, as a body, Atlanta rarely lias a
meeting of so many gentlemen of
snch superior worth aud dignity.
The lighting of the city of Co
lumbus, last year, cost $4,530, and
yet the Times want more light and
thinks it will require the assist
ance 6f tWo locomotive bead lights
to find one of the street lamps at
12 o’clock a dark night. Some
fellows there must have excellent
eye sight, for with all the necessity
for more light, they sometime find
the lamp post, to which they cling
in a manner difficult to determii e
whether they design a good old hug
or are hanging all around it to
keep their heads off theVground.
A Cincinnati! dyer said he could
dye Mrs. Patterson’s dress a plum
color, and he dyed it green anil had
to pay $lB and costs ol trial for being
so far out of plum.— Exchange.
Tills recalls u circumstance related
to us by a friend of I)r, Acee, who
livid in Tulbot, county, years ago.
The Doctor had a neighbor who was
red bended, lie hated red hair and
would give anything for a head of
linndßi.mc black. Having great con
fidence in Dr. Acee, ho secured his
skillful nervice in dying his hair black.
Tie preparation wus made nnd di
rections were given to the neighbor,
who went on Ids way.rejoicing in the
hope of hnving a black covering on
his head. On the third day after, the
neighbor was seen riding up to the'
Doctor’s gate. Dr. Acee knew what
was brewing, and he was allowed to 5
“hello” at the gate until impatient fer
attention, tbe Doctor then walked to
the door, nnd said: “Good morning,
Join. Anybody sick ?”
“No, by G—d, they ain't. I got
you to dye my head t’otticr day, d—n j
you; now (jirk ng off his hat) look at!
it; as green as a wheat i atch. Couic
out here, sir.” j
Dr. Acee laughed, hut did not go’
out, nor John ever dye his hair again
At Jasper, Fla., David Fryer and
C. C. Parker had a difficulty, which
Parker asked to be settled and for
them to be lrirnds us belore. Fryer
refused, stating publicly that he and
Parker could not remain in the same
town. Fryer notified Parker to leave,
or it would not be good for him.
Parker replied he would not leave nor
fight a duel, but if attacked would de
fend i imself, A few days ago Fryer
stepped in Parker’s office and began
shooting at him. He fired th.ee shots
at Parker, before Parker could get
his pstol ready. Parker, though
wounded in the side, emptied evety
chamber of his revolver in Fryer,
every shot ol which would l ave p. ove

A bt:le son of Mr. Win. Patrick,
(Keeper of the Double Bridges,) was
drowned a few days ago. Mr. Patrick
was engaged in repairing toe bridges,
his little n, a lad of lour or fiw sum .
mors, followed his lather. Mr. Pati' k
endeavored to coax him to retain to the
house, and gave the lit tie fellow a piece
ol money to carry to his mother. The
child started for the house. The father
paid no more attention to it. Several
hours passed, and the child’s mother
eame to look for it. The fa’he* on
learning that the boy had not gone
home, commenced to search the Blanc!,
nnd found the little fellow about 200
yards below the bridge, his feet protrud
ing from the water, his body caught by
a snag. Mr. Patrick supposes the little
fellow dropped his money and in his
eagerness to recover the money fell into
the river.—[TaTmlton Standard,

few day ago for smuggling. lie has

taken possession of by C. N. Townsend,
Depnty Collector of Darien. Foster
politely conducted the Deputy and Lis

in satisfying them that the rumors of

Mr. J. C. Biyan of Brl!e-vue was dig
