J.t is estimated that the famine in India
will cost the British Government not less
than $30,000,000. The distress has been
greatest in the Bombay and Madras dis
trict. In the latter district it is reported
that rains have fallen, which may some
what alleviate the suffering, but tbe Gov
ernment will have to continue the sys
tem of relief works, by which hundreds
of thousands of people are kept from ac
tual starvation. Before the British Gov
ernment had complete control of India, it
is recorded that one famine swept away
about ten million of people. The Gov
ernment spent $40,000,000 a few years ago
giving timely relief to the natives in Be
liar, who were threatened with extinc
tion by a famine. Thus it appears that
these frequent famines are a terrible

to expend her financial strength still fur

I sia having already informed the Cab

Paris, June B.—The communication
which Russia sends to Loudon is not
a note in a diplomatic sense, but a
letter from Prince Gortschakoff in
reply to the letter of Lord Derby
which Count Schannala took with i
him to St. Petersburg. la his letter!
Lord Derby drew the attention of:
Russia to various points where Eng- j
lish interests would be affected if
Russian action extended so far. They
were mentioned in Mr. Crosse’b
speech in Parliament, and his
letter on the Suez Canal und Egypt,
Constantinople, Dardanelles, and
Persian Gulf. The Prince’s letter
successively takes up these points
and explains that Russia does not
mean to interfere with any one of
them. Prince Gortschakoff acknow
ledges the great international and
commercial importance of the Suez
Canal, and gives most positive assur
ances that Russia does not intend in
any way to touch it. Russia, indeed,
thinks herself entitled, as a
matter of right, to curry the
war to Egypt, but she explains
that any action in that direction
has never been taken into considera
tion. This is even more the case us
regards the Persian Gulf. Russia
thinks so important a maritime pas
sage as the Dardanelles should al
ways be regulated by international
agreement, and not by one power
alone. She disclaims any intention
of acquiring Constantinople, though
at the same time she could uot con
sent to it 9 possession by any other
Christian power.
Tbe communication is silent as re
gards any temporary occupation of
Constantinople, which may become
necessary and ensue in the course of
Russia’s military achievements.
The letter Roes on to say that Rus
sia baa remained true to her pro
gramme in aiming solely at improv
ing the condition of Christiana in
Turkey, which can only be done by
coercing the Porte. As soon as Rus
sia has achieved this, she will fall
back on the resolutions of the Con
stantinople conference, and contend
for such guarantees as will ensure
the efficacy of the reforms, asking
the powers to take up the thread
where it was broken by the dissolu
tion of the conference.

London, June B.—Roumaiiia has
55,000 men in fighting trim. They
are organized into two army corps.
Among the reports circulated yes
terday on Loudon Stock Exchange
were that England is about to pur
chase Founder’s Shares in the Suez
Canal, and that she is about to pur
chase the Porte’s sovereign rights in
Egypt. Some papers think the ad
vance of Egyptian stocks indicates
good foundation for the reports.
Others think the steps already taken
are ample to justify the return of
confidence in Egyptian securities,
and that all reports of further action
are mere stock-jobbinn canards.
Nothing yet made public aftords a
basis of opinion as to which of these
views is correct.

Austria's Position
It is hard for most people to under
stand tho position of Austria. No
question connected with the war is
asked more frequently than one con
cerning the probable Intentions of
that power. A halting policy grows
| out of u want of oohereucd aud har
mony within tho empire. Nor is it
anything new. In 1853 Austria occu
pied a pro-Russtau, or at least a
stiotig anti-Turkish position. She
was ready ut ode time to occupy
Turkish territory to enforce de
mands she was prepared to make.
Russia confidently counted on
her support, and yet she not
only did not support Russia, but she
actually occupied lion man in and
compelled the Russian evacuation of
the Dobrudscha and the line of the
Danube. Count Audrassv was ut
that time, as now, occupying a re
sponsible position, aud then, as now,
believed to be a Trieud of Russia, al
though a Hungarian. Recently di
vulged diplomatic correspondence of
t hat time shows that bis views were
anti-Turklsii, The policy of the
Imperial Government then, as it
may be now, was determined by the
Hungarian element, or rather was a
resultant between the two opposing
elements —a passive state of war
against Russia all the effect of war
wit hout. a shot fired.
Couut Audrassy is again at the
helm. He is encouraging the same
Hungarian pressure and there are
rumors cf his retirement on sick
leave. The Hungarian element has
one point of sympathy with the
'lurks. They are sprung from the
same Turanian races. They have a
reason for hating Russia. They
would, but for the armed interven
tion of Russia in 1848 9, have won
thoir independence. They are op
posed to t.tie Regulation of any more
Sclavonic territory which might dis
turb their own preponderance. They
would rather the Turk held Rouma
nia and Servia than themselves,
than Russia, than that they were in
dependent.
The Sclavs are divided. The Poles
of the East are bitterly hostile to
Russia. Tne Czechs of Bohemia, ar
wilting even to be Russian subjects.
When they, in their papers, speak of
“the Emperor,” they mean he of
Russia aud not Francis Joseph. The
Croats of tho South are willing to
acquire the Sclavonic provinces, but
do not appear to be so enthusiastic
ally pro-Russian as Czeehes. The
German element is probably indiffer
ent, though perhaps favoring co-op
eration with Russia and territorial
agrandizernent. This is likely since
the Imperial Government appears to
favor Russian movements. Still it is
hard to tell where it may be dragged
by the Hungarians.— Nashville Amer

rolMMi In the Kitchen
At the last meeting of the Acade
my of Natural Sciences a communi
cation was read from Mr. William
H. Dougherty, relative to his exami
nations of so-called marbleized iron
ware. He states that a pint of good
ordinary white vinegar was boiled
ill a dish of this ware, and slowly
evaporated nearly to dryness. Dis
tilled water was then added and
treated to hydro sulphuric acid. The
reselling precipitate of sulphide of
lead was then dissolved in nitric acid,
and being precipitated by means of
sulphuric acid in presence of alcohol
as sulphate of lead, was found to
weigli one bun deed and eighty-three
milligrammes, or over iw > and three
quarter grains, which was then re
duced to rnetalic lead by the blow
pipe. This result iudieates that the
vinegar had dissolved oat of the
• uaiiiei enough lead to make abou*
three grains of the poisonous sugar
of lead.
An ounce of citric acid, dissolved
in a pint of distilled water, was
boiled in another dish enameled in
the same way. The liquid was then
treated precisely as was the vinegar
in the first experiment. The result
obtained was a precipitate of sill
phate of lead, weigfiiug somewhat,
less than that dissolved by the vine
gar, but nevertheless quite enough
to show that the citric acid had dis
solved out an appreciable quautity
of the poisonous substance contained
in the enamel.
Acetic aud citric were used In these
experiments because they are most
likely to come in contact with the
articles used for domesiic purposes,
the first in vinegar, aud the other in
the juices of lemons, oranges, goose
berries, currants, cherries, and many
other fruits, and even in potatoes aud
onions.
A can of tomatoes in an aoid con
dition was digested in another mar
bleized dish and filtered. The fil
trate, treated as in the former ex
periments, showed slight but posi
tive evidence of the presence of lead.
Although arsenic is said to be present
in the enamel, none could be found
after repeated trials by the wet and
dry tests. A portion of the enamel
detached and fused with carbonate of
soda in the usual way, yielded the
following: Oxide of lead, 12 per
oent, j silica, 47; alumina, iron, lime,
potassa and soda, 41.— Philadelphia

Tlic Turkish Forces on the Danube.
London, Juno G,—According to the
! most trustworthy ihrormatl-m, the
present strength of the Turkish
army, exclusive ot navives ou
the other side of the Balkans, is
three hundred battalions of infantry,
seventy-two squadrousof horse, three
hundred cannon and about eight
thousand fortress artillery and en
gineers. Of these, forty-five battal
ions are statioued at Widdin, thirty
six at Rustcbuk, fifty-five at Sbumla,
thirty-eight at Varna, thirty-six at
Silistria, aud the remaining twenty
battalions are divided between Nico
polis, Silistria, Turtukia, the Dob
rudsefiaaud various places of more
or less importance iu Danukian Bul
garia.
Every battalion, on an average,
may be assumed to contain 750 men.
Contributions from Nisei), it. is true,
are considerably below the Btuhda.nl.
bu r , on the other hand, numerous
Red iff battalions have 1,000 men, or
even more. Therefore, the total
number of infantry is about 172,500.
and the cavalry reckoned at 100 men
to a squadron of 7.000. Accordingly,
the army of the Danube, including
fortresses, artillery and engineers, is
olose upon 200,000 strong. As to or
ganization, there is want of every
thing that is iodisp usable in tactics
unity and svstem. The army is
virtually diieeted from C nataiitino
pie. where all its movements are
planned, and orders issued by a so
called Council of War.
The Uladmone Horoacupc.
Mr. Gladstone’s demonstration is
generally regarded here very seri
ously, and as pointing to a great
deal more than an agitation on the
eternal Eastern question. It is, in
fact, looked upon as Ills first step to
ward assuming the leadership of a
new radical party, whose programme
will involve such great reform as:
First—The disestablishment of the
national Church ol' England, just us
the Church of Irlaud was removed
from State control,< >r ashas been said,
I from the control of the State.
Second A complete reform in the
tenure of land, such as the abolition
of primogeniture aud the rigth of
eivail, and.
Third -Perhaps, the abolition of
the House of Peers as a governing
body, if nut, indeed, tile entire abo
lition of titles of uobility as well.

of the ai uis attributed to the Radicals,

National Associate press Di#patiih.J
Philvdelmia. June 5. A special
dispatch from Reading snvs there is
a lively prospect of trouble between
manufacturers and operatives in
iron establishments east, of the Alle
ghany. At a private conference of
factors of wrought iron goods, who
represent their own manufactories,
efforts have been made to secure
general suspension for sixty days.
At the Philadelphia meeting the res
olution came within one vote of be
ing unanimous. The movements of
the manufacturers are being watch
ed with deep interest by the opera
tives throughout the State. While
a suspension of yvork may be adopt
ed by some factories, others may
reduce wages aud operate their es
tablishments ou partial time. Both
movements are obnoxious to the em
ployees, and there are indications at
various points that they will inaugu
rate open rebellion against either
pro|iosttion, if carried into effect.
West of the Alleghanles the agree
ment regulating compensation for
puddlers aud others expires to-day.
It is understood the manufacturers
are an association, and will not pay
the prices heretofore paid. This re
duction the men, it is said, will re
sist. The manufacturers will, it is
understood, also stand firm, and
there will be, in consequence, a com
plete look-out. It is difficult as yet
to predict the end.
A Remarkable Double Forgery.—
Several days ago a letter was received
by the President at Washington, pur
porting to be from J. R. Lewis, Ctiief
Justice of Washington Territory, re
signing that position, and closing
with the remark that on retiring to
private life he was in full accord with
the reconciliation policy of the Pres
ident. Not suspecting the genuine
ness of the letter the President ap
pointed Associate Ju-tioe Green, of
the same court, to till the vacancy
supposed to have been caused by the
alleged resignation. The next morn
ing information was received from
Judge Lewis aud others by telegraph
proin-iuneitig the letter a torgery, and
Senator Mitchell represented these
facts to.tiie President, who thereupon
reversed his decision of the day be
fore. A similar fru 1 was practiced
six or seven years ago while Judge
Lewis was Chief Justice or Idaho. A
forged letter of lesigtmHon having
been received by tlie President, a
successor was appointed and con
tinned by the Senate before he had
time to defeat the .rand, and there
fore he had no remedy at that time.

tho billowing resolutions had been
adopted:
1. That tlie Boatd is opposed to the

velopment of industrial pursuits, and
the moral, social, and educational
elevation of the people.
3. That the Executive Committeo

class of citizens, who are not practical or
experienced, that Dyspepsia cannot in
variably be cured, but we are pleased to

forms, such aa Sour Stomach, Oostive

This standard article is com
pounded with tlie greatest care.
Its effects are as wonderful and
as satisfactory as ever.
It restores gray or faded hair to
its youthful color.
It removes all eruptions, itching
and dandruff. It gives the head a
cooling, soothing sensation of great
comfort, and tlie scalp by its use
becomes white and clean.
By its tonic properties it restores
the capillary glands to their normal
vigor, preventing baldness, and
making the hair grow thick and
strong.
Asa dressing, nothing lias been
found so effectual or desirable.
A. A. Hayes, M. IX, State As
sayer of Massachusetts, says, “ Tho
constituents are pure, and carefully
selected for excellent quality; and
I consider it tlie Best Preparation
for its intended purposes.”
