■f jt T^-^nrhfiJ
London, May s.'•The Times, in its
military intelligence, says: "It is
understood that the following regi
ments have been placed on u list for
service abroad, should their services
Be required.” Here follows the
names of three regiments of Dragoon
Guards, two of Dragoons, one of
Hussars, one of Lanoers, one brigade
of horse artillery, one of Garrison
artillery, two of field artillery, thir-
teen seperate battalions of fnfantry,
and twenty three complete regiments
and two battalions of the Rifle bri
gade, also tbo Second Grenadier
Guards, tfie second battalion of the
Cold Stream Guards, and the first
battalion of tbe Scots Guards.
[Note. The Guards never leave the
kingdom except for aotlve serlvce.
The last occasion was when they
went to Canada at the time of the
Trent affair. The' Tones does not
print this news with any special
prominence, as though it was of great
significance.!
London, May sth.— Mr. Thomas
Carlyle, in a letter to the Times on
the Eastern question, says a rumor
prevails that Mr. Disraeli, despite
the Queen’s neutrality proclamation,
intends to send the English fleet to
the Baltic, or do some other feat
which shall compel Russia to declare
war against England. Latterly the
rumor has shifted from the Baltic
and become still more sinister on the
Eastern side of the scene, where a
feat is contemplated that will force
not Russia only, but all Europe, tode
clare war against us. This latter, he
says, he has come to hear as an in
"disputable fact. He advises taking
charge of the route to India and
should steer clear of acting
with the Turk. England should feel
it an ignotniny to be connected with
the Turk—the one future for whom,
that has any hope in it, is that of his
being conquered by the Russians
and drilled into learning himself to
to goverened.
Mr. Carlyle protests against the
newspaper outcry against Russia,
which he says proceed from ignoranc
and jealousy. He calls the attention
of friends of their country to bib
statements, lest in a few weeks the
maddest thing that a British Gov
ernment could do should be done,
and all Europe be in war.
Loudon, April sth, 1877.—The
Times, in a leading article says Mr.
Gladstone’s resolutions threatens to
.do something more than draw the
liberal party into confussion. In or
dinary times the breaking of party
bonds might doubtless be borne with
serenity; but these are not ordina
ry times. The Government must
soon come tea decision of iocalouba
ble Importance, because tending to
make peace secure or place the coun -

In favor of a course which would be
a disaster and crime, political privi
leges aiding reckless advisers, and it
may be the dissensions of Parlia
ment are not entirely absent from
mysterious councils, although the
good sense of the public will, we be
lieve, defeat the promptings qf pas
sion. It certainly cannot afford to
lose the parliamentary influence
which has been most powerfully ex
erted in tbe sides of peace. Yet bv
destroying the effective of the liberal
party at this critical moment, Mr.
Gladstone has put bis great authori
ty at the command of traders in the
passions of war. The liberal party
is split into two factions,. one of
which will vote for Mr. Gladstone’s
resolution, and the other for the pre
vious question. The rest may easily
grow wider, one section becoming
more and more readily to combat
against Turkish misrule, while an
other may drift towards those con
servatives who are as wax in the
hands of the government. Tbe im
mediate effect of this discussion
must be not only to give the ministry
a great majority, which is a matter
of little consequence, but we fear to
strengthen the fection which is
for war.

London, May s.—Shots have been

Russia is making great efforts to

The Russian advance guard have
reached Ussltchem, south of Buso,
where the road divides, one going to

Silistria. At Hirsava, the Danube
is compressed into one channel, the
banks of which are not marshy—a
passage that is much easier than at
any other |>oint between Hilietmand
Galatz; Hirsava is also much less
strongly defended than Silistria.
It is probable a strong corps of
Russians will be concentrated at Gu

force a crossing or keep the garrisons
at Silistria and Hirsava occupied
while a crossing is effected elsewhere.

Had Man wltli a Bad Bye.
There were five passengers on a Wood
ward avenue car going north yesterday—
four women and a man. The man was
long bodied and his eyes had a squint,
but yet no one suspected him of being
a fiend. It so happened that one of the
women sneezed, and the man suddenly
made a drive under a paper parcel on the
scat and then held up a glass eye between
his thumb and finger.
“Who sneezed her glass eye out?” he
blandly Inquired, as he looked from one
to the other.
There was an awful silence. The wo
men turned red and pale and cast sly
? ;iances at each other and then at the
alse eye.
“Which of you sneezed?” softly inquir
ed the man, while ha held the eye half
way across the aisle.
“I didn’t!" replied one, ami In a mlu
ute all denied the fact.
“Well, I have two natural eyes, you
can all see,” continued the man, “and of
course I had no use for this. It seems to
me that the ow'ncr should claim it as she
may find it very difficult to procure an
other as good. I will leave it on the
cushion and turn my back to all of you.”
“And I will leave the car!” exclaimed
one of the women as she pulled the strap.
They were all of the sumo mind, and as
they walked away from each other each
one looked back and mused:
“1 wonder why on earth she didn’t
claim it?”— Detroit Free Press.

Silver as I .rant Tender in Illlnolr.

It is a matter of considerable signifi
cance that the Illinois Senate bus passed
a bill, almost unanimously, which only
needs the concurrence of the House to be
come a law, declaring that all the United
Stales silver coins of all denominations
shall be legal tender, in payment of all
debts, public and private. If this bill be
comes a law, then all debts contracted af
ter the first of July DCXtand between
citizens of Illinois may be discharged by
the tbnder of United Slates fractional
silver coin without reference to the $5
limitation of the present United States
law. The bill, of course, connot affect
contracts made prior to the date When
the law shall go in operation, nor can it
be enforced as against citizens living in
other States where there is ho such law,
and where the limitation of the United
States law will apply.
A general election occurs in lowa
this year, and the usually solid and tri
umphant Republican party of that State
is solid no moid. It is split to pieces on
the President’s Southern policy—lowa be
ing the only State where any formidable
opposition to the administration has been
shown thus far. The contest will nor
only Involve a number of State officers,
from Governor down, hut a Legislature
is to be chosen which is to name a suc
cessor to Senator Allison. Mr. Allison
naturally wants to succeed himself, but
he is between two very hot fires. lie is
by nature a conservative man, and in
clined to give the President a hearty sup
port, hut he does not distinctly see how
he is going to dodge successfully all the
bricks that will be thrown during the
coming campaign, they will come from so
many and such unexpected quarters.
Humbug. —l think I heard P. T. Bar
num once call himself the “prince of Lun
bugs,’’ in a public speech, without know
ing its origin, which few know. “Hum
bug,” which in the universal use is said to
come from Hume of the Bog, a Scotch
laird, (so called from his estate), who waß
celebrated in Edenburgh society, during
the reigns of William and Anm 1 , for the
marvellous tone of his stories, in which
he indulged so commonly that they be
came proverbial; and thus a very long
shot was always designated a regular
“Hume of the Bog.” Hence, by simple
contraction, Humbug.

The CHlnmnan Who has Come to Tench
New York ('hrlatluua Ituddhlam.
From the New York Bun.l
In the house of Madame BaVitsky,
at 302 West Forty-seventh street, a
reception was given last evening to
Wong Ching Foo, a Chinese political
exile, who is lecturing ou the roli
glons and politios of his country.
Col. Henry 8. Olcott was master of
ceremonies, and the Madame was a
graceful hostess. There was a small
party of men and wombo present.
Mr. Wong, as he is called by his
Amerloan trieuds, was suffering from
Indisposition, and was not visible
when the company assembled, but
he soon afterward entered the par
lor, and was introduced by Col. Ol
cott. He was but twenty-six years
of age, and slight almost to effemin
acy, but has a singularly pleasant
and intelligent face. His hair is
worn in a neatly braided queue, that
reaches the floor. His dress, dis
tinctively Chiuese, was rich, and
consisted of a black braided skirt,
reaching to his feet, a sleeveless
brown velvet jacket, out square and
open in front.a standing collar, black
skull cap, and thick-soled Chinese
slippers. About his neck hung a
long, massive gold chain, and an
emerald pin fastened his snowy silk
en neckhandkerebief.
Mr. Wong explained his objoct in
coming to this city, and made clear
many points of the Buddhists gener
ly misuuderstood among us. He
said that he wished it to be clearly
understood that he did not come
here in an aggressive spirit; that he
was not trying to undermine our
faith in Christianity, but that he
wanted to give us a correct impres
sion of his country and its religions.
He is particularly incensed ut the
dogma of some Christian denomina
tions —that all so-called heathens are
doomed to eternal damnation. He
said, “I respect Christianity, and I
venerate Christ as I do Buddha and
Confucius, and I waQt to prove to
Christians that the Chinese have as
strong hopes for happiness in a fu
ture life, as they themselves. We
do not bow down to images and
worship them. The images rep
resent great sages, like Confucius,
great statesmen or noted warriors,
and whfn we kneel before them
and pray, it is that the good God will
endue us with a tithe of their wisdom
and goodness. Your golden rule to
love thy neighbor as thyself was
taught as one of the fundamental
doetrines of Buddhism thousands of
years before Christ was born. The
Mosaic law—the ten commandments
—was taken from the books of
Biidha, in which you may now read
them almost word for word. You in
this country are taught that we
Chinese eat nothing but rice and pup
pies and rats; that our women are
slaves or worse. I never knew of
these things until I came to this
country. Your missionaries do not
understand us. Because wo do not
do tilings as they are accustomed to
do them, they say we are uncivilized ;
because they never learn the first
principles of our religion, and conse
quently cannqt understand it, they
say we are heathen and must suffer
eternal damnation. Then, too,
they only iniuglo with our lowesi
and most degraded classes, and, of
course, we have such as well as you,
from whom they learn the very worst
features of Chinese life. The salary
received by a missionary in China is
a fortuue in that country, and on it
he can live in luxury; so, of course,
it is a good thing to make U3 out as
very wicked, and thus retain his po
sition. These things burn into my
heart, and I want to explain them to
the people of this country, that you
may know us for what we are. aud
not what you have been taught, by
ignorant or prejudiced people, to be
lieve us to be.”
Wong-Ching-Foo talked for several
hours on this topic earnestly, and
with an enthusiasm that communi
cated itself to his hearers. He read
ly answered questions, many of
wbioh were asked for the purpose it
tripping him, and explained clearly
all disputed poiots. He talks English
almost without a foreign accent. He
is to lecture in public next Sunday
evening.
Mr. Wong’s life,thus far has been
oue of startling adventure, accor
ding to account. Educated in
Shanghai, he was sent to this coun
try to learn English in 1868. After
a year’s residence in Washington he
returned to Chius so thoroughly con
versant with our tongue that he was
appointed as an imperial interpreter.
Becoming iudignant at the cruel
tyranuy of the feigning dynasty, he
entered into a conspiracy to over
throw it, and t became one of the
leaders of the movement. It was
discovered, and many of the leaders
were decapitated; he, however, was
warned in time aud fled. For months
he wandered in swamps and jungles,
pursued by armies and with a high
price set upon his head. At length
he made his way to au English mis
sion station, and, fiaukly tel
ling who and what he
was, asked protection. They
took him Id, fed aud clothed him,
and then told him that they had de
nounced him to the Government
and that troops were on their way to
serve him. He asked them it they
know what would be his fate if cap
tured, and described to them the hor
rible tortures inflicted upon conspi
rators. They said yes, they knew all
that, but that they had arranged
matters so that he would simply be
decapitated. They then advised him
to trust in Jesus, aud bade him good
night, after securely bolting all the
doors and windows. During tbe night
he cut a pane of glass from his
bedroom window, and leaping
twenty feet to the ground
made good his escape. Af
ter sufferings from sickness, starva
tion, and the treachery of supposed
friends, he reached the coast, and
found in the stewart of a tradiqg
vessel, a friend who concealed him
until tbe vessel renehed Yokohama.
His retreat being discovered, he was
again on the point of being captured
and delivered up to the Chinese Gov
ernment, when Col. Sheppard, the
American Consul, assisted him to
escape on board an American ship
bound for San Francisco, q Even
there he was followed by Chinese as
sassins, and thus compelled to oonie
East for safety.* He has determined
to become an American citizen, and
devote bis life to the opening of our
eyes to the true state of affairs in his
native land.

dozen bottles sold last year, not a single
failure was reported, but thousands of
