The Eastern Question —What will a Con
gress Do ?
Our news from Europe regarding the
Eastern question goes to show that, while
the feeling between Turkey and Greece is as
bad as it can lie the desire of the various
European Powers seems to be to prevent
hostilities. 18 Je as to the state Os
feeling in the Greek kingdom to be informed
that the Chambers have voted the war
credit of one hundred million drachmas,
and that the Committee of Action Itavc ad
dressed a petition to tiic Government pray
ing for peace. A European conference to
settle the question, as between Greece and
Turkey, seems to be in general favor.
The one new and striking feature about
the conference is that Count Bismarck, who
is the parent of the idea, and to whom
must be conceded the honor which is justly
due, lias expressed the hope that the con
ference will be held iu Paris. This is a
stroke of policy which will redound to the
honor of the Count and to the advantage
of Prussia. Even if it had been proposed
to hold it in Berlin Napoleon could hardly
have objected. But now that Paris and
Napoleon have been so handsomely compli
mented the conference may be considered a
certainty in the early future. London had
the honor of settling the Luxemburg ques
tion, the last general European trouble.
Paris, it may now' be considered certain,
will have the opportunity of trying to
settle the Eastern question, the European
trouble of the moment. It is well that it
should bo so ; for the statu quo in the East
was determined by they treaty of Paris,
1856. If that treaty requires revision it is
well that the revision should take place
where the treaty was drawn tip.
We have yet to iearn that either Turkey
or Greece lias consented to abide by the
decisions of the Congress. It is competent
to oue or other or both to refuse to submit
their differences to any arbitration. Both
Powers, however, are so dependent on the
kindly consideration of Europe generally,
that there is small chance of either the one
or the other objecting to the conference as
proposed.
Taking it for granted, then, that Turkey
and Greece will not object, that the con
ference will be held and that it will be held
in Paris, the questiou becomes of some im
portance—what will the congress do? It
is not at all impossible that an attempt may
be made to widen the scope of the conference
so as to allow a consideration of the general
condition of Europe. We know that there
are many unsettled aud disturbing ques
tions besides that of the Orient. Such a
proposal, it will be remembered, came from
Napoleon when the London Conference was
first mentioned in connection with the
Luxemburg difficulty. The mauner in
which that proposal was received by the
other Powers may prevent Napoleon from
repeating it now; and if it emanates not
from this source it is little likely to emanate
from any other. The presumption, therefore,
is that the conference will be convened for
a special purpose, aud that the attention of
the representatives will be confined to the
difficulties in the East. Since the proposal
has come from the Prussian Government,
not improbably at the suggestion of Russia,
it will be curious to learn what Bismarck
lias to propose as a solution of the difficul
ties We know that there is trouble in the
urn-ill of Turkey almost as serious as that in
the South Crete is impatient of Turkish do
mination and demands annexation to the
kingdom of Greece. Roumama is impatient
of Turkish supremacy and demands inde-
' With the Cretans and with the Rouma
nians Russia is in sympathy. The Prince
of Roumania is a scion of the house of
Hoheuzollern, and it may be taken for
granted that the sympathies of the Prus
sian Government are with him and his peo
ple The probability is that Russia and
Prussia are pretty much agreed. Will they
jointly propose the annexation of Crete to
Greece v Will they insist on the indepen
dence of Roumania ? It is well known that
when the crown of- Greece was offered, in
S to the late King of the Belgians, then
PHn’ct Leopold of Saxe-Coburg, one of his
principal reasons for refusing it was ins
dissatisfaction with the boundanesofthe
kingdom It was ins opinion then—and to
this opinion, we believe, he clung to the
last that Crete should belong to Greece.
The Roumanian difficulty is not so old as
that of Crete, although it has a'readymore
than oucc engaged the attention of Eu
ropean diplomatists. That some such pro
posals will be made there can be little
doubt. That, if they are made, they will
come from Russia or Prussia, or both, is
certain.
SviiUcckln Constitutionalist.
How will the other Powers entertain such
proposals ? The great difficulty Is that the
annexation of Crete to Greece and the cut
ting of the connection between Prince
Charles and the Sultan • would establish
precedents which could not fail completely
to break up Turkish rale in Europe. An
nex Crete ? Then why not the other islands ?
Why not Thessaly and Macedonia and the
other Greek provinces on the mainland ?
Give Roumania independence ? Then why
not grant the same favor to Bulgaria, Ser
via and the other Slavic provinces ? The
disintegration of the Turkish empire will
thus be fairly commenced. Where or how
will it end ? This. it is which will consti
tute the reaPdifficulty of the congress. It
remains to be seen how the difficulty will
be met. Race and religion; fortunately or
unfortunately, are both opposed to the con
tinuance of Mohammedan rule in Europe.
[From the Mobile Tribune.
Experience of Southerners in Brazil.
We had the pleasure of a visit yesterday
from Mr. James J. Selby, an intelligent
Mobile youth, who has just returned from
Brazil, whither he went in 1867.
Mr. Selby landed first at Rio, and took
passage from there for Para in the Govern
ment steamer, for the purpose ot joining the
colonists who went from Mobile under the
guidance of Major Hastings, and had set
tled some distance up the Amazon.
The Brazilian Government had pledged
itself to transport emigrants from this coun
try to any part of Brazil where they might
wish to settle.
The experience or Mr. Selby, of the man
ner in which that pledge was kept, was
anythingbut gratifying. After great trouble
and numerous delays he secured a ticket
and went on board the steamer.
During the passage that lasted twenty
days he was night and day in the open air,
and afforded no shelter from sun or rain.
He was furnished two meals a day of ferina,
which were served in a huge basin set out
upon the deck for the accommodation of
deck passengers en mouse. There were about
one hundred and fifty of these, negroes, In
dians, and Jialf breeds—the very scum of
creation—*-lousy and filthy, all fed together,
helping themselves by the handful at a time.
The passage from" Para to the Hastings
colony, occupying three days, was of the
same nature as that from Rio to the first
mentioned place. So much for the trans
portation.

ings were promised supplies for six months,
or their equivalent in money with which to
purchase supplies where they might deem
proper. How that promise was kept may
•be appreciated from the following:
The official charged with furnishing the
settlers with supplies is named Pinto. He
is Vice-President of the province of Para,
and proprietor of a harem which turns him
out annually a fair crop of half-breed In
dian and negro offspring.
With the money that Pinto had rece’vod
from the Government for the purpose desig
nated, he established a store on the bank of
the river, filled it with the cheapest groce
ries he could obtain, and forced the settlers
to buy from him at the highest cash price,
or starve.
The settlement is distant from the river
about eight miles; a sandy desert without
shade Intervening; and once there the set
tiers had to trudge under a tropica! sun,
bearing on their backs the poor but cost'y
groceries supplied by the enterprising Pinto.
Delicate women from Alabama had often to
perform that fearful task.
The land in the Hastings settlement, and
the Valley of the Amazon generally, is
inferior in quality to that of our own coun
try, and whatever is planted is speedily de
voured by the myriads of insects that swarm
in those tropical regions. And not only do
these pests attack voireUibio Jift> out man
««id oeast as well. An insect called by
sailors “ the jigger,” lies in wait at every
turn ready to make lodgment in the foot
of the pedestrian, and form a colony of
young “ jiggers” in his flesh. The feet of
hogs are so infested by these insects that
the animals never get fatter than an or
dinary lath.
Scorpions, centipedes, tarantulas, ants an
Inch and a-half long, and whose bite is like
the combined sting of a dozen bald-faced
hornets, ticks as large as a man’s thumb
nail, that go through human flesh like a
mole through freshly spaded earth, arc some
among many of the Amazonian blessings
4hal endow a man witli the power of des
pising such trifles as the clouds of mus
qnitoes and sandflies that prevail there.
■Comparatively speaking, the vampire is
the mosquito of the Amazon valley.—
Whether the vampire is really a blood suck
er is a question which has given rise to
some disputation among naturalists. We
remember reading, some years ago, a maga
zine article, whose object was to defend the
great South American bat against the se
rious charge that was generally believed to
be founded in fact. Mr. Selby sets that
matter at rest. He has killed vampires in
the act of sucking his own blood. Horses
in the Amazon valley suffer greatly from
these blood-sucking bats, and have to be
kept well protected from them at night.
Os the families that went out with Hast
ings only four remain at the settlement, the
rest having gone to Para af a first step to
ward getting back home.
Those that remain are the following:
Vaughn, Mendenhall, Steel and Emmett.
The health of the country is about on a par
with our swamp lands.
While the Hastings colony has been re
duced to a remnant, all the American colo
nies have been utterly broken up; the colo
nists coming in as best they could to the
nearest seaports generally in an absolutely
destitute condition.
The result of the Brazil “ fever,” sid as
it has proved to those who yielded to its at
tack, will stand as a warning to the South
ern people against the hasty abandonment
of their native land. Even the greatest
curse that can fall upon us from the foul
womb of Radical hate—the curse of mon
grelism cannot be avoided by going to Bra
zil or any other South American country.
In all of them the nasty fruit has ripeued,
and pollutes earth and air with its sickeu
ing odors.
A Warning to Fashionatas Drink
ers.—Having stirred up a genuine sensa
tion among the retail grocers of New York
city by its exposures of light weights and
adulterations, the World lias now attacked
a far more vulnerable and mischievous class
of dealers—the venders of liquors by the
glass. To make its exposures the more
effective, samples of tiie most expensive
whisky and brandy were bought some time
since by the WorlcCs “ commissioner ” at
several of the most fashionable bar-rooms
in the city, and subjected to chemical an
alysis by Professor John C. Draper. The
results obtained will astonish and horrify
the gentlemen who have been in the habit
of taking their “toddies” at these places,
under the delusion that high prices insured
a pure and undiluted article. At but one
bar in the list was the brandy obtained
pure, and in this iustance it was greatly
diluted. The wisky was better, but gener
ally contained more or less of the poison
ous fusil oil and of tannin, and was inva
riably diluted.
The generalization from the facts obtain
ed is that “in our day there is barely one
gallon in a hundred thousand manufac
tured that is not adulterated or badly rec
tified.” This may be a rather broad state
ment, but it is substantially justified by
the facts. At all events, it is undoubtedly
true that even those who can afford to pay
the highest prices for liquors, at the most
reputable bar, will, in a majority of cases,
drink an adulterated and poisonous article.
It is this fact which accounts for the fear
ful ravages of disease among the fashiona
ble drinkers of the day. The adulterated
liquors derange the system, create a mor
bid condition which demands a continuance
of the poison, craze the brain, and make
premature drunkards. This fearful and
incontrovertible fact should be burned into
the mind of every young man in the coun
try.—iVw York Mail.

preparation.
This is the pure and genuine* extract of the root, and
will, ,on trial, he fonnd to effect a certain and per
