No Tory decided movements bare been
made in Europe within a week pant.
Russia is concentrating troops around
Constantinople, and hurrying op an much
as possible the preparstion of anew army.
Little by little ths ether powors are nhow
iag that they regard the treaty of San
Stsfano with no more favor than England
does. Last week it was France which had
refuaed to give Russia au assurance which
would bind her to sustain the action of
Knsaia in the Congress. This week
Austria has shown that she is not to be
drawn into an alliance with Russia, leav
ing England alone to ootubat tbe ambi
tions plans of tbe Russian government.
The only thing wbieh is calculated to in
spire hope that there will be no war, is
that one of the most influential ol tho
moderate Russian papers has expressed
regret that England had not indicated
what modifications of tbe treaty would
satisfy her, as her wishes aud those of
Austria might have formed a basis upon
which an agreement might be founded.
The impression is evidently becoming
deeper in Europe that England tneuus
war, and that she will have more tllies
then see nod likely a few weeks ago.
WASTE AND WANT.
Ei'er man roust be content with pover
ty nil this life, or elso dear himself some
luxuries and save to lay the basis ofindu
pendsnoo in tlio future. But if a man
defies the futuro, aud spends all lie earns
(wh ethor his earnings bo one or ten dol
lars a day) let him look for lean and want
at some future time—for it will surely
come, uo matter what he thinks. To eare
is absolutely the only way to got a solid
fortune; there is no other certain mode.
These who shut thoir eyes and ours to
these certain acts will be forever poor,
and in their obstinato rejection of truth
mayhap will die in rags and filth. Let
them so die and thank themselves. "But
no! —they take a sort of recompense in
oursing fortune —great waste of breath.
They might as well ourse the mountuius
or the eternal hills. For I can tell them
fortune does nut give away good and sub
stantial goods. She sells it to the highest
bidder, to the hardest and wisest worker
for the boon. Men never make so fatal a
mistake as when they think themselves
creatures ot fate; ’tie the sheerest folly in
the world. Every man may make or mar
himself, whioh ever he may ohooss. For
tune for those who by diligence, houesty,
frugality, plaoe themselves in a position
to grasp hold of fortune when it appears
in view. The best evidence of frugality
is the five dollars or more standing iu
jour name at the savings bank. The best
evidenoe of honesty consists in diligence
and frugality.
QUITE AH ITEM.
7b (A* Editor qf Th oa*tt4:
I wish to notico briefly a matter in which
every person in Chattooga county is in
terested—not only Chattooga, but ell over
tbo State. There is now a negro confined
in jail at Summerville, charged with
stealing a pair of old pantaloons from
another negro. He will have to stay in
jail six months before ho is tried—thst is
183 days, at GO cents per day, making
$109.80 he will ooet the county as board.
It will cost the couuty SIOO to try lum
as it will consume, say one day of court.
Can any people stand this thing long at a
time? I pause, etc. Pilgrim.

TrtlßClrf TO WOMKN.
We have never seeo many beautiful
tributes to lovely women, but the following
is the fi ttts over trail: “Place her
among t fl -wars, fostar her as a tender

yrardn . ■ aud felly—annoyed by a tv
drop i.todbythe touch of r butte>

and she is overpowered by tha perfume
of the rosebud. But let roal calamity
coure, rouse her affection?, enkindle the
tires of bar heart, an 1 mark her th o:!
How strong is her heart! Place her in
the heat of battle—give her a child, a bird
to anything to protect and see her, in a
relative instance, lifting her white arms
a : a shield, as her own blood crimsons the
upturned forehead, praying f life u> pro
toot the helpless. Tran p i:t j-.-r iu the
dark places of earth, oa 1 forth her oner
gies to action, and her breath becomes a
healing, her presence a blessing. She
disputes ineb fcy inch the strides of a
stalking pestilenco, when man, the strong
and bravo, pale and affrighted, shrinks
away. Misfortune haunts her not, she
wssrs away a life of silefit endurance,
and goes forward with less timidity than
to her bridal. In prosperity she is a
bud full of odors, waiting for tbe winds
of adversity to scatterrthem abroad—
pure gold, valuable, but uutried in the fur
nace. In short, woman is a miracle, a
mystery, the’centre from which.,radiates
the oharm of existence.
PRESENT SYMPATHY.
Do not keep the alabaster boxes of
your love and tenderness sealed up until
your friends are dead. Fill their lives
with sweetness. Speak approving,
cheering words, while their ears hear
them, and while tbeir hearts can be thrill
ed by them. The things you moan to
say when they are gone, say before they
go. The flo; Mrs you mean to send for
tbeir coffin,Wnd, brighten and sweeten
their homes before they leave them. If
my friends have alabaster boxes laid a
way, full of perfumes of sympathy and
affeotion, which they intend to break
over my dead body, [ would rather they
would bring them out now in my weary
hours, and open them that f may be re
freshed and cheered by them while I
neod them, I would rather have a coffin
without a eulogy than a life without
the sweetness of love and sympal by Let

SNOW FROM TUX MOUNTAINS.
(Stranger* sojourning fn Virginia City
Nev..during the winter aro surprised to
sot* the air full of snow when the sky
Is clear In every direction. They seem
to witness the phenomenon of snow
tailing from the bluo of the heavens.
They presently disoover that the mys
terious fall of snow comes from the
peak of Mount Davidson, which rises
bdgb above the town on tho west. Tho
prevailing winds are from the west,
and these, when they are above the
strength of a breeze, oatoh up tho
snow on the top and sides of the
mountain, and wafting It along pres
ently allow It to sift down over tho
town. Although but a moderate
breeae was abroad, there were times
when for an hour the air was filled
with fine particles of snow, which
floated about so airily that they were
easily mistaken for little needles of
frost. When a heavy gale Is blowing
after a recent fall of snow, this sow
ing of the (lakes is seen on a grand
•cals. Great whirlwinds form and
are playing about In the eddy under
the lee of the mountain, and the snow
gathered and oarrled aloft is presently
hurled down upon the town anil
whirled through the streets In blind
ing ehowers. Thus, at times, when
the sky is perfectly dear more snow
may be seen In the town than Is of.
tea seen to fall directly from the
olouds even during the heaviest of
storms. When anow Is both falling
from the heavens and blowing from
the mountains, It Is then that we have
wild and uncomfortable weather; it is
then that we oan reach out into the
air and pick up snow by the haudfulls
as It is passing by. These falls of
snow might be called serial ava
lanobee.
Underground Telegraph Lines.—
An Improved method of laying under
ground telegraph lines Is due to the
Ingenuity of Hoitzman of Amsterdam,
Holland. His plan consists, substan
tially, In providing a cast-iron trough,
which is filled with a peculiar bitum
inous insulating compound, which is
proved to be xory effectual. The gut
ter rests in the bottom of a ditch in
the earth. The compound Is put In
while warm and serai liquid. The tele
graph wires. Insulated with gutta per
cha, are then submerged, separately,
In the oompouud in the trough, and the
latter is then closed by a cover and
the ditch filled with earth. The com
pound soon cools and solidifies, and
holds the wires in perfect insulation,
unaffected by moisture, temperature,
or decay. A telegraph line or . >n
forty miles In length, near Amsferdar.
on the above plan, has proved nu ei.
tire success, and although laid in bad,
swampy soil, no breaks have oc
curred.

Gum Arabic '* so called beesuss it
grows in Africa and the East Indies. The
various qualities are easily distinguished
by 'hose lo the manner born or made, but
are apt to deceive an “outsider” trying to
pick out the host gum by the unaided light
of his own intelligence. Those Hoe, hand
some pieces, large and beautiful, with their
yellow or ping transhicency most resemb
ling uncut topaz, are, my 'riend, gay de
ceivers, only (it for common “stick-fast,”
and will never be raised to the dignity of
true druggists’ mucilage, like those little
muddy, opaque tears of a dirty whit* color
Of somewhat different complexion are the
pebbly drops of gum Hininoniacum, a
Persian product, useful as an expector
ant, and as an ingredient in platters,
and valuable when In well-debited
lumps, from Ihe rira of s pea to that of a
cherry, but less eagerly bought when ths
tears have run together—a rule which hold*
good, by the way, of almost all gums,
such, for instance, as kino, a valuable as
tringent, which, when of the liest quality,
looks like a heap of garnet* or carbuncles.
Gum elemi, however, is an exception to
the rule, generally arriving in a soft state,
like old honey. Many other gums, other
than those I have enumerated, are sold
from time to time in “the I.ane," but are
hardly considered medicinal. Chief of
those are gum copal, largely used in
varnUh-muking, and gum kaiirie, a fossil
guin (like amber) dug out of the sub
merged forest* of the anti]<odes. —AU the

FRENCH DUELS.
The principals having been stripped
to the waist, choice of positions Is de
cided by tossing a coin: “Heads or
tails?” He who has choice of posi
tion selects one In which his back
shall be to the sun ; his adversary la
placed opposite to him. It is com
monly agreed to make boards, beyond
which the respective opponents shall
not retreat. This precaution is token,
partly to save the reputation of a ner
vous prlncl|>al who might retreat till
doomsday, and {tartly to prevent the
duel from lasting too long a time.
The instructions givon a principal who
is less skillful than his adversary are:
"Always attack and continually re
treat,.” The reasons of those tactics
aro, that it Is easier to attack than to
parry feints, and blows, especially
when they are rapidly delivered. Ito
troat Is made with long strides; ad
vance is slow and cautious, for during
the advance one is powerless even for
defense. The adversaries once la
position they are armed. It is a
tacit condition of every duel that
neither of the principals shall have
handled the weapons; one is twice as
expert with a familiar as with a now
sword. The swords are held straight,
point up and overhead, the arm out
stretched to full length, until the
second of the principal who has won
choice of position advances half way
betwoen each adversary, when swords
are lowered till they cross. Ths
second holds both at the junction,
and asks each antagonist, (his princi
pal last,) “Are you ready. Sir?” Upon
receiving an affirmative answer, he
waits an instant, that on t adversary
may feel on his guard; t' -n removes
his hand and exclaims, Allei Mes
sieurs." ("Go gentlemen.” Usually,
both principals spring in retreat at
this word, in order to . ircl against
surprise. The more 00..;i !-nt or the
more Impatient adverse-/ soon ad
vances cautiously, until r.vords are
Joined again. He stubs h s adver
sary forau instantothe uninitiated can
scarcely imagine how much is re
vealed by the fuel of an rlversary’s
sword and the sight of his hand,) then
gives one, two, three, four, five, or six
slight blows (varying the number with
the feel of his adversary’s sword) to
his opponent’s weapon, and then trios
to got in a good blow, unless his op
ponent hns anticipated him, by tak
ing advantage of his change of blow
from four to six, to make a rapid
lunge just after he quits four aud be
fore he reaches six; and if the lunge
be made with cat-like rapidity and in
ths nick of the proper time, It com
monly reaches Its destination. The
action once engaged, lunge rapidly
follows lunge for two minutes, and
then, If no blood be drawn, both par
ties take rest, breathless and unable
to hold up their swords, which seem
as heavy as the best bower anchor of
a man-of-war. When they recover
breath and strength the second again
crosses their swords, and the combat
re-commences. A duel rarely lasts
longer than eight minutes, including
all the restings. At last a lucky
blow produces an abrasion of the
skin of the little Unger. The surgeon,
by dint of hard and adroit pressure,
contrives to squeeze out a tiny bead of
blood. The oode is homeopathic.
That drop suffices to purge away
smirch from escutcheon; “honor Is
satisfied.” The adversaries shake
hands, and vow themselves to be deso
lated that a misunderstanding should
have occurred between them. Coffee.

Wednesday evening a boy abnt eight
years old, who had become bewildered
down town and whose ear had been Dip
ped by the frost, was taken to the central
station to get thawed out and ohecred up.
The treu in charge talked to him in a
fatherly way, put liniment on his ear, and
the boy seemed to lie fuii of grit- After
a time, however, the big tears were ob
served rolling down his cheeks, and tho
captain said;
“Why, hub, I wouldn't feel bad. it
isn't much of a frost-bite ”
“But it shows, don't it?” tremblingly
asked the lad. "
“Why, yes, a little bit; but I wouldn’t
care for that.”
“Maybe you w wouldn’t!” gasped the
boy, ‘ but you h-ha'u’t engaged to—to be
married as I am, and that makes a b-big
difference!”
They couldn’t argue against that, and
the boy wept bitterly.— Detroit Free

THE GLADIATORS OF INDIA.
Another sort of combat, much mors
terrible than those already mentioned,
and which is only to be seen now-a-days
at Baroda, is the Nucki-ka-kousti,
that Is to say, “fight with olaws.”
Her* the combatants, almost naked,
but adorned with crowns and
garlandp, tear each other with olaws
of horn. The claws were formerly of
steel, and caused certain death to one
or other of the combatants; but they
have been abolished as too barbarous
for modern times. Those now in use,
are, as I have said, of horn, and are
fixed on the dosed fist with thongs.
I was only once present at a oombat
of this kind, for my heart was so
moved by this horrible spectacle that
I refused to go again. The wrestlers,
intoxicated with bang—liquid opium,
mixed with an infusion of hemp—sing
as thoy rush upon one another; their
faces and heads are soon covered with
blood, and their frenzy knows no
bounds. The king, with wild eyes and
tho veins of his neck swollen, Burvoys
tho scone with such passionate ex
citement that ho cannot remain quiet,
but imitates by gestures the move
ments of tho wrestlers. The arena is
covered with blood; the dofeated
combatant Is carried off, sometimes
in a dying condition; and the con
queror, the skin of his forehead hang
ing down in strip.s, prostrates himself
before the king, who plaoes round his
neck a necklace of fino {marls, und
covers him with garments of groat
value. One episode, moreover, dis
gusted me to such an extent that,
without any heed of the effect my sud
den departure might have upon the
Gulcowar, I at once withdrew. One
of the wrestlers, whom the bang had
only half intoxicated, after receiving
tho first few blows made a show of
wishing to escape; his antagonist
threw him, aud they rolled together
on the ground before us. The victor,
seeing the unhappy wretch demand
quarter, turned to the king to know
whether he should let the other rise;
but, inflamed with the spectacle, the
monarch cried out, “Maro! marol"
(strike! strike!” andthescalp of the
unfortunate fellow was torn without
meroy. When he was taken away he
had lost all consciousness. That same
day, the king distributed among the
victorious wrestlers necklaces and
money to the amount of more than
four thousand pounds. Roitsselet’s
