The declaration of Carlyle that England is fast drifting into war, is amply justified by the progress of events in the East. It has become evident within a week that the Rus sian aim is not ltumelia hut Anatolia, that the ancient Byzantium is not to be captured but to be isolated, and that the Russian Czar aspires to the empire of the illustrious Mace donian whose name he hears. The conquest of lesser Asia by the Muscovite is more dread ed by England than'the conquest of Constan tinople itself, for the seizure of the lands over tho Bosporus closes the new route to Hin dustan, and menaces the great Indian empire whose crown the British queen has lately as sumed. England looks upon the Russian oc cupation of Asia Minor as a threat to the se curity ot her possessions in the larther East, and she knows that a blow at her colonial 4. !_! _ _ 11 .1 I uvuuuiuu w wiv/n an uci caioicuvc as a ^icai power. The course of Russia has been character ized by great sagacity. While amusing Eng land with display of diplomacy she concen trated troops in the Prulh and beyond the Caucasus. Then the moment the protocol was rejected she set her armies in motion. To-day, but two weeks since the declaration of war, the Czar holds the Danube from Ser via to the Euzine, and is lord of Armenia. He has three hundred thousand soldiers ready to occupy Bulgaria at notice, and two hundred thousand on the road to Trebizonde. He wisely refrains from crossing the Danube, forcing tbe Balkans and seizing Adrianople, for by prosecuting a movement upon Con stantinople he might alarm Austria and Ger many, and provoke a conflict to which he is inadequate. But no continental power saTe France, which is powerless, feels any inter est in his Asiatic conquests. England is thus isolated, and can rely upon no ally save the Turk. She at last realizes her position and comes tardily to the knowledge that any fight against Russia must be made by her self. That she will fight is quite probable, for every Russian victory weakens her power and augments her danger in the East. Un less she is prepared to see the Muscovite cross the borders of India as a liberator she must speedily check his advance. With Persia as an ally Russia will find no obstacle in her way to India until she faces British troops. The meeting of the Turkish Parliament is likely to prove an experiment in language. The London Athenaeum says: “It is well known that the Turks, like the Magyars, the Greeks and the Roumans, have worked up an oratorical and artificial language which is quite distinct from the popular dialects. It was with some a question how far the Anato lian dialect, almost Turki, would get on be ciHn tlio liinliln.wrftnnlif. SfimVtnln tnifK !to infusion of Persian aud Arabic. It is, how ever, stated that the country members speak freely. This is attributable to two causes. The first is that Turks of all ranks are in the habit of stating a case concisely before an of ficial or a tribunal, as advocates were not for merly tolerated. The more immediate cause is that Fuad and Alt Pashas began in early life a refotm in the language, with a view to increasing its area and power. They encour aged plain Turkish and discouraged the grand style. So the officials have learned to discard their stilted phraseology and to speak plainly. The demand for 4i per cent, bonds of the United States has fallen off but slightly in consequence of the European war,—less than the demand for any other securities in the money-markets of the Old World. It is also true that the variation in current quo tations has been less than in the case of any other securities. United States bonds are strict !y “gilt-edged,” both abroad and at home; but a gratifying feature of the case is the fact that the 44 per cents are being large ly taken by cur own people, while the 6 per cents in the hands of European holders are called in and cancelled as fast as the sales of 44 per cents furnish the funds. Fcn has begun. The independent journals for want of better things to abuse have fallen to abusing each other. The Springfield Re publican with its usual audacity copies Gail Hamilton’s attack upon it in the Tribune and the comments of that journal, aud in reply tells the Tribune people that “it is hardly valorous in them to leave their revenges to maiden ladies, and do their fighting behind petticoat barricades.” There is truth enough jn the sentence to give it a sharp sting. Of course Jay Gould’s name figures conspicu ously in the Republican columns. The fight is stronglv suggestive of the old proverb “When rogues fall out” &c. When the great battle of Oltenitza was fought, twenty years ago, between the Turks and Russians, Omar Pasha, the commander of the former, made all his arrangements) aud (hen sat on a hill and smoked his pipe while the battle was going on. He was vic torious, but, it must be said, more on account of the weakness of the Russians than be cause of any special generalship he mani fested. The Omar spirit, however, is dis played by the Turkish commanders now on he Danube, who have calmly sat down and are waiting for Allah to fight their battles for them. A volcanic lake, three acres in extent, has been discovered on the Colorado desert. The area contains boiling springs that have thrown up mud in pyramidal form around tueir vents, which glitter with sulphur. The temperature of the water is thought to be 120 degrees. One of these steam jets is projected out of a mound twelve feet sidewise. This escape occurs about once every two seconds. One of the numerous pools of water within the boundary of these boiling springs is per fectly cold, but saline to the taste. Pieces of sulphur, almost pure, have been broken off from the mounds thrown up by these waters. Russia will not make the least objection to the annexation of Egypt by England, in the opinion of the St. Petersburg correspondent of the Memorial Diplomatique. Russia will demand in exchance only that England guar antee the creation of an independent king dom out of Roumauia, and the administra tion of their own affairs by those Turkish provinces in which the Christians have a large majority of the population. France and Italy will find their compensations in the occupation of Tunis by the former and ot Tripoli by the latter. Jeff Davis sticks to the lost cause. lie has just been making a little speech at Mo bile urging the Southern people to bo true to it. He tells them tbey have borne an ordeal of deprivation, wrong and injustice with “a fortitude only equalled by tbe gallantry dis played in a desperate effrrt to maintain a cause which ka3 been crushed but not de stroyed.” Whoever else is conciliated Jeff is not. Tue :ecent municipal elections in Indiana do not look much like reaction in favor of the Democrats. Even Mr. Hendricks’ old homo of Shclbyville, elee'ed an entire Repub lican ticket. Current Comment* Can’t we have a war-map of Ben TVade’s compaign against the Administration._ Philadelphia Times. A book question of the day—Whether Southeastern Europe will be bound in Russia or in Turkey?—Cincinnati Commercial. Everybody supposed Texas was solid for the TexaB Pacific railroad. But Congress man Schleicher says not by any means. Minnesota will hold a special election in June to see whether the state will vote to pay about half of the $2,250,000 railroad debt which was repudiated about twenty years ago. The Chicago Tribune says that nine out of ten of the people of Illinois, ana nine out of ten of its newspapers support the President’s Southern policy, “and wdl support it until it is proved a failure.” The change of the time for the extra ses sion of Congress will cause heavy losses to Washington hotel keepers. Two of the hotels are to be put into thehauds of receivers soou, so it is reported. Secretary Evarts says that his only regret in having the extra session of Congress post poned until October is that it will probably prevent the United States government from officially participating in the French exposi tion of 1878. The Chicago Times charges the discovery of the New York World, that the extra ses sion was postponed till October because the President is afraid to meet Congress and his party critics, upon “a rabid New England disciple of the blood shirt.” In commenting on the captiousnes3 of the Democratic officials iu refusing to attend the Evarts reception, the Hartford Courant ob serves that the Northern Democrat of the Copperhead persuasion is in much mna temper now-a-days than the ex-Confederate or even the unrepentant rebel. Governor Thayer of Wyoming has written to the New York Tribune that “no portion of the earth’s surface contains more of the precious metals in the same space than is found in the Black Hills.” We trust that this tact will excite the ambition of the noble army of “tramps” who are now prepared to go into the country. It costs in advertising about $125 to get an average religious newspaper to inform its readers that any given company is “one of the best;” $250 is the figure for the observa tion that “this company is unsurpassed,” and about $500 will lead to the devout excla mation, “To insure in this company is a Christian duty. Pastors, urge it upon your flocks.”—Chicago Tribune. New Orleans politicians at Washington say that Gov. Nicholls has lost ground at New Orleans by his appointment of Pinchback on the school board. Nicholls thought he must reward Pinchback in some way, but at pres ent the appointment of colored men to offices is not remarkably popular at New Orleans. There are at Washington a host of white ap plicants for the New Orleans naval office, which is now held by a negro. “It is a sad thing,” Zion’s Herald says, “that all the presidents down to Hayes have been theater-goers,” but it hopes that Hayes will be good and stay away. It remarks: “Lincoln died in a theatre, but that did not prevent Johnson, or Grant from going there,” which is altogether too silly. Washington died in his bed, but other presidents have gone to bed just the same. Perhaps Hayes sits up all night.—Boston Herald. It may mean something and it may not, but the Indianapolis Journal makes an elab orate review of the rival claims of Kellogg and Spofford for a seat in the Senate from Louisiana, and concludes that in the case of the former both the “letter and spirit of the law appear to have been complied with.” The Journal says its statement of the case is substantially the same as that made by Sen ator Morton wheu Mr. Kellogg appeared at the bar of the Senate, upon "which all the Republican Senators except five voted to ad mit him. Secretary Sherman does not seem to think that the Legislature of Ohio and Illinois have especially distinguished themselves by passing a law making silver dollars a legal tender for all debts, public and private. He said to a correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial recently that the States had nothing to do with the relative value of gold and silver, and that the only effects of the enactment would be to induce persons making contracts in Ohio and Iudiana to specify payment in gold or United States notes instead of silver. It is hard tor the average legislator to realize that he can’t increase or diminish the value of money by resolution, but it is a fact. Gen. Sherman is reported as saying that <4t.hA whnlA nhilnsirmliTT Qrmihn.. based upon an idea of honor,” and hence he affects to leel confident that the pledges now made by Southern men will be rightly respected. How was it in the case of the Missouri compromise? That was a sacred compact which the honor of the South was pledged to respect and abide by; yet when, in 1854, it was found that the South could cut a few more slave states out o( territory secured to freedom by that compromise, the South scouted the idea of being honorably bound to carry it out. Whenever Southern interests are at stake, Southern honor has to go to the wall.—Pittsburg Commercial Ga zette. It may be set down as decided that the coming campaign in Ohio will be fought once more on the financial question. The infla. tionists are bound to force the issue, though they will fight without some of their old leaders. Messrs. Allen and Cary are prac ticing law, and, it is thought, will keep out of the fight. It will be little short of a miracle if they are.able to keep silent when once the combat gets warm. Gen. Ewing and Mr. Pendleton will take the direction of the cam paign, and their views are sufficiently pro nounced to make the issue clear enough lor a lively campaign. The Republicans are divi ded on the silver question, and so valuable an illy as the Cincinnati Commercial is advising them to take the wind out of the inflation ists’ sails by declaring in iavor of the pay ment of all debts, bonds included, in silver lollars. _ The Danube Campaign. It will be seen from the despatches that the shrewd tactics of Russia have almost corn pletey baffled the Turks. The Russians a e ■hreatening in three directions, and the Turks ire trying to keep the Danube covered at all vital points. The Turkish monitors keep ham mering away at Iteni, below Galalz, to keep the Russians from crossing at that point, but it ia dear that they aro beginning ta suspect trouble ligher up the river, for they have been hover ng round Oltenitza, a place half way between Rustchuk and Silistria, and laying torpedoes in ;he river. It must be remembered in lookinu »t the movements of these Turkish gunboats »nd monitors on the Danube that there are two leets of them, and that the Bussians have cut u between them at Ualatz and separated them hopelessly. The larger portion of these gun ooatl were, at the commencement of hostili ties, up at Widden, where they had been sta tioned all through the Servian war. Hobart L'asha took them down to Bnstchuk with the probable expectation that be would be able to patrol the Danube and make things lively for the Bussians. The sudden seizure of Ga atz and Bralia spoiled all his plans. The Pauks ouce occupied and fortified, the monitors were imprisoned. To test the strength of the itussian lines, Hobart Pasha took a swift dis patch boat and dashed past their batteries in the night, but there does not seem to be suifi iient enterprise in the other Turkish officers to Follow his example, although the sure result of their continuance in the river must be their capture whenever the Bussians want them. The upper s<|uadrou seems to be hover ing an and Oltcuiiza, having backed out of another bombardment of Ibrail, and meantime the Bussians have only to seizo l'nrua, high up the river, and plant a line of torpedoes there, to have the river flotilla of Hobart Pasha in a trap from whence they cannot escape Every move the monitors make up and down the river leaves the track behind them open for the planting of more torpedoes, and they must at iast be hemmed in and run down, at Bnstchuk or thereabouts. The smaller division at the mouth of the Danube—the one whose gunboats are bombarding Beni at intervals—is not ex posed to the risk of capture, but it is doubtful whether it can accomplish much of importance. The line of the river from Beni to Ibrail is now occupied, according to the latest despatches, by SO,000 Bussians, with 100 heavy guns in posi tion. No gunboats possessed by the Turks can hope to run the gauntlet of a passage thus pro tected, aud when we consider the additional perils of torpedoes, it is clear that the river may be said to be practically closed wherever the Bussians clioese to close it. Meantime the Grond Duke Nicholas telegraphs that the Pruth is much swollen, but that ‘‘the concentration of troops shall not be interfered with,” aud en gages rooms at Plvyesli. His movements are very slow, but those of tho Turks are bo timid and hesitating that he will be enabled to chooso his own point of attack at leisure daring tho present week —-Western Globe. IFrom Harper's Bazar.] Fashions in House Furnishing. CARPETS. At this spring season of removing and house furnishing, some hints about plain furniture way be useful to people of moderate means. Beginning with carpets, we find the quaint col ors and designs introduced by Messrs. Morris, Bastlake, and others prevailing in carpets of all qualities, from the most inexpensive in grains up to the rich Wiltons. These designs are small and intricate figures in rich yet qniet colors. Olive shadows are much liked, and In dian and Persian designs are cbo-eu by people of tasto. In buying ingrains, it is best to get the Scotch all-wool carpets that cost about SI a yard; the prices range from 90 cents to 81.10. Three-ply carpets still remain iu favor with many housewives, while others insist that the third ply soon frays and wears off, leavine a shabby, ragged look. Tapestry Brussels car pets are showy looking but do not wear well, as the colors are not woven through to the wrong 81fS lhey are iQ the excellent body Bros sets. The body Brussels no longer have large panel designs, nor are they strewn with flow ers as formerly. They have warm, rich colors In artistic I. as tern designs, and have broad bor ders as wide as a whole breadth of the carpet the narrow half-breadth and solidfcolored borl dors are not nearly as handsome as these. The tapestry Brussels carpets cost $1.75 for the best qualities, and body Brussels ranges from $L 50 to 8-.50 a yard. The rich Wiltou carpets re peat the same unobtrusive designs and warm colonng seen in Brussels carpets; they cost from $3 to 83 75 a yard, and Axmiusteis are about the same price. French Moquette car pets retain the iloral designs peculiar to them, and are in most delicate colors. For halls and staircases the Oriental designs are repeated in I even smaller figures, and the borders are nar -i'*uiu uwuacs, iugrains arc commended for chambers and children's rooms, aud body Brussels for dining-room. balls, living room, or parlor. The fancy for figured wood floors strewn with Persian mats increases in the homes of the rich, but there is an air of warmth and comfort about carpets that makes plainly furnished rooms attractive in witter, when they would otherwise look bleak and dreary. During the summer and for country houses the new straw mattings are a»ain used, with Persian or Turkish rugs laid in front of the larger pieces of iurniture and the hearth or else in the middle of the floor. These new mattings are woven in closer, smaller patterns than were formerly used, and are in olive tints or else scarlet straws are scattered irregularly among the natural straw colors. FURNITURE. Simpler styles prevail in all kinds of furni ture, both in French and English designs. People begin to appreciate the substantial things that are not only useful bat are beauti ful because of their appropriateness, and deal ers use less varnish, veneer and glue, making things really what they seem. In the low priced plain articles under discussion there can not be much hand carving; hut they are simply fashioned, and instead of being given a glossy lustre with varnish that is made white liy ev ery chance blow, they are rubbed down to make a smooth polished finish, which is easily re stored, when lost, by rubbing with a very little oil; the favorite hlack-waluut wood looks es pecially well treated in this way. For the light woods now so popular, white ash is one of the least expensive; white holly and birch are more costly. Ornaments are moulded in the wood, and for plain pieces consist merely of straight incised lines, or slight balustrades in Queen Anne style, Ailinton tiles are also much used lor decoration and add little to the ex pense; very neat aud simple tiles of the favor ite blue and white will be added to entire cham ber suits for from §2.50 to §5. Alarble-topped furniture and marble mantels are much less used than tormerly. Brass or nickel rings for knobs are preferred to wood. For sitting-rooms and summer parlors, the best furnishing houses supply cretonne suits of six Dieces at from $85 onward wideseated sofas and chairs, covered with the new twilled cretonnes, thickly tatted, with the wood all covered and the stuffing of white hair. A novelty for these cool rooms is suits of wool covered wire in open lattice patterns; the wool braid Is bine or scarlet, and the wood of the frame is usually light. The suit of sofa, two arm-chairs, and four smaller chairs is 885. Sep arate chairs for the piazza or for rooms, fitted ap with cretonne, aro 88 or 88 apiece. Suits upholstered with raw silk are 8225 and up ward. Suits of rep?, with border puffs of cou trasting color, are 8150; plainer ones begin as low as 875. Tables lor the<e rooms may be merely covered with the stuff used for covering the sofas, aud fringed around, or else they have a Turkish cloth table-cover, or are slightly in laid with marquetry aud not covered. The cab inet with closed doors and some shelves for putiery is a favorite piece of furniture for these small rooms, but adds much to the expense. There are, however, small hanging cabinets, and corner cabinets with doors, shelves and balustrade, at 835 or840; also ebonizcd sh -lves, with lacqnerel trays set as shelve?, beginning as low as 88. Eor chambers are excellent suits of black walnut, made in a substantial manner, with or without marbles as the purchaser likes, for from 875 to 8100. These have a bedstead, bu reau, washstaud, table, rocking-chair and two other chairs. Dressing-cases with long mirrors and side drawers are liked by some, bnt most ladies now prefer bureaus with the broad square mirror iu English style. Very pretty but simple sets of ash for the chamber in the modem Gothic designs that dealers persist in calling Eastlake are sold for 885; these have all the pieces just mentioned and a towel rack; the next pree, at 890. has tiles; those at 8100 have pretty illuminated lines of blue and scarlet. Cottage suits enameled on white wood are in handsome designs at 810, and ceat ones are only 836; these are the me dium, but prices take a wide range, beginning at 825 and reaching into the hundreds for those of delicate tints of tillenl, olive, and cream-color. Hair mattresses made in sec tions give most satisfaction; they have a large square piece at the top and a narrow section for the foot of the bed. They are at more moderate prices than formerly, the very best costing 830. Pillows for day use are about twenty-eight inches square; bolsters have pieces set in the sides, making them more square than round. Among nice small pieces for bed-rooms are chiffoniers with shallow drawers for linens and laces, with a desk, and a dressiog-glass above.

In our next article we wilt give instructions concerning curtains and upholstery. Dom Pedro’s indifference to the rules of pal ace etiquette during his stay at Berlin horrified the German courtiers. He appeared at the Empress’s reception wearing a black cravat in stead of the regulation white necktie, which, as the Cologne Gazette observes, “is indispen sable even at the White Honse in Washing ton.” Kaiser William and his Empress oalled by appointment at the Hotel do Rome to re turn Dom Pedro’s visit, but the Brazilian tour ists were not in. Astonished and somewhat chagrined, the Kaiser gave directions to bis coachman to drive back to the pike when a droshky rapidly drove up, and a stout, elderly man in a gray overcoat, crying “Sire1 Sire!” alighted, aud springing to the imperial car riage helped the German Empress out. Tte Emperor William followed, and on reaching Dom Pedro’s apartments the latter apologized for his apparently rude conduct by saying ha had gone to Professor Helmholz without pre viously setting his watch by Berlin time, aud a. discussion on physiological optics had so muds interest for him that he overstayed his time. The Brazilian sovereign bad no desiro to sea the barracks and parade grounds of Berlin, bus the university, the art galleries, tko scientific institutions, and above all the palace library, underwent his careful inspection.

Fairmount Park has come to City Hall. This statement may he open to some objections, geographical and other, and there are those who, fanattically wedded to truth, will de nounce it for a gross exaggeration. But if Fairmount Park has not come it has sent its likeness. Seriously the “great imposition” at City Hall is no imposition at all, but one of the neatest parodies which the wit of woman ever con ceived. No one who visited Philadelphia last summer can afford to neglect this admirable burlesque, for it recalls and emphasizes the chief attractions of the great show, and mis chievously imitates its most prominent features. A stroll in the hall is much like looking at the exhibition through the little end of the tele scope. The show is as good as one of Bret Harte’s condensed novels. From entrance to exit the parody is preserv ed. One goes in through the turnstile (happy to find that the vexatious regulation in regard to fifty-cent pieces has been abolished, and happier to discover that every day is half-price day! and immediately the sound of the chimes on Machinery Hall strikes his ear. Indeed it may strike her ear if one of that kind. Pres ently the full glories of the Exposition greet the eyes. Tho Main Building in its long ex tent stretches before the retrospective gaze> and the courts of the nations invite the won dering attention of the visitor. As the great organ gives out its music the strolling sight, seer pushes his way through the surging crowds, skillfully avoids the rolling chairs, plies the Centennial Guard with useless ques tions, touches the articles which are labelled “Do not handle,” and amuses his fellow-travel erg by absnrd remarks upon the eights with which they happen to be familiar. If he knows his business he strokes the Dig-tail of the Chinaman, asks the Jap where he got that yellow gown, and lifts the bright fez of the Tunisian from its resting-place. The first sight which meets his wonder-seeking eye is tbe Turkish bazar,and if he be a devotee of the great plant he will pass under the silken cur tains and over the bright-colored rugs, seat himself on the purple divan and play for a good quarter of an hour the Unspeakable Turk with hookah or chibouk to lip. Then, with a muttered “Kismet” as he pays the fee, he will pass to other strange countries. The mtr schaum and amber display of Germany, tbe marchandise de Paris of France, and the goods of other marts command lingering attention. But the visitor will not be wrought up to en thusiasm until he reaches the mummies under the temple-porch of Soudan and Egypt. The inscriptions upon these works in clay are cal culated to excite wonder and awe. and the tales of the Talmud or the marvelous stories of that appendix to the Koran which the Mussulman devoutly believes in are wildly probable in comparison. The display by the United States should not be neglected, for in that department are exposed to view the mo3t interesting relics ever seen outside of canvas. The boot which Andre wore on his bootless errand (the most capacious despatchbox whereof history has record) the original anvil of Valley Forge, the shoes worn by the bare-footed soldiery at the same place during the terrible winter of their discontent, and the famous) torso of the Venus of the Mound-Builders the first result of the gravitation of the savage mind toward the sub lime and the beautiful (an image of chaste grandeur, as the affixed placard sets forth) de mand long and admiring regard. Not less worthy of attention perhaps than this interest ing relic of the Mound-Builders (though vastly inferior in intrinsic value and historic worth) is the Tiffany display. There the lover of gauds can feast his eye upon the fatal opal which Anne of Gierstein owned, the great dia mond of the Cape, and the ruby which flashed in the turban of Aurungzebe. Here, too, are to be found some of the most notable illstra tions of American history. After sauntering through the Main Hall the spectator turns his attention to those other buildings which are only less noticeable be cause of their smaller size. Taking a rolling chair he soon finds himself within the doors of Machinery Hall, where the great Corliss en gine keeps time with its strokes to the rhythm of the chimes in the tower above. Passing hastily by the Krupp gun and the other pro ducts of the effete despotisms of Europe he comes to the machines which the ingenuity of the Yankee has contrived for the lightening of the labors of the world. The first object which should strike his attention is the corn-crusher, an ingenious piece of meclianicism which can not fail to excite his wondering regard. The propeller, the elevator (upon which letters pa tent have not yet been granted by the state) the apparatus for combustion, the thrashing ma chine, and other results of the intellect of the practical mechanic will not escape his notice. After passing through the two large build ings the delighted visitor cannot be content un til he has seen the others. Horticultural Hall will detain him some hours on his journey about the grounds, and the wonderful fruit of the date palm, potted within its confines, will yield him untold if not unfeigned enjoyment. The Women’s Pavilion strikingly illustrates the aggressive disposition of that sex which mankind misnames the gentler, and upon its broad tables are displayed the terrible enginery of feminine warefare. Passing hastily by this formidable display the weary wanderer glances at the improved method of archery of the Kin dergarten and makes his first stop for reiresh ments at the New England log cabin. There while he partakes of dishes of the olden time he is permitted to look upon Priscilla’s spin ning wheel, and John Alden’s table, and Lady Wentworth’s chair, and Miles Standish’s sett’e, and Gov. Carver’s Bible, and Oliver Walcott’s dresser, and the Bradford tab'e, and the Win throp clock, and some famous China ware rich with the memories of a hundred years, (genu ine relics all), and last upon that idol of New Eagland, Peregrine White, (whose cradled image the skeptical denounce as an imposi tion.) From the New England cabin he passes to the art gallery at the upper end of the hall, and there revels in the work of the chisel and the brush. Time fails us now, and no more than brief mention can be made of its glories. But the hasty visitor must be cautioned not to neglect the Castellani collection of antiques. So long an expedition suggests lunch, and if one does not care to stay and partake of the Bxquisite coffee and ices of the Vienna Bakery, he will repair to Lanber’s on the Trois Soeurs, whose cartes are subjoined: LAUBEK’S. 8PEISEN LISTE, Huhner Snppe.

Arrest for Assadlt.—Sunday afternoon Patrick Conley assaulted Michael Maley. Yes terday a warrant was issued for the arrest ot the forme.-, and last evening officer Itice cap tured him. Improvements on tbe Eastern Road. The new management of the Eastern road are making extensive improvement in the condition of their road bed, and railroad men say that the programme is to put it in unex ceptionally good order, preparatory to making the best time on record. To accomplish this end an ‘‘Indicator oar” from the Baltimore Ohio Railroad was run over the entire main line last Thursday. This car is entirely new in this section, but in the West it has been in use for some time on all first-class roads. It is attached to the forward end of the train next to the engine, and as it passes over the road the number of miles raD, the rate of speed, the amount of steam used on the several grades are all indicated npon strips of paper wound upon a cylinder. But this is only a part of what it does. A pencil runs over the centre of the paper making a straight mark whin the road bed is perfectly level. When either rail however is lower or out of order the pencil marks to that side of the paper. By this meaus the car can be run over any road, and tho paper when removed from the cylinder will be an exact map, showing the condition of the entire road bed. After this car was run over the Eastern road Thursday the road was found to be defective in many places. A large crew of men have been put upon the several sections between this city and Bostoo, and a large number of new rails and sleepers are being put in. There are also to be several changes made in the grade where it is unusually heavy. On a week from Monday a new time table will be announced, and trains will run between this city and Boston in three and a halfihours— the quickest time on record. The afternoon train will leave here at a quarter to two o’clock and arrive in Boston at 5.15 o’clock. These improvements will be well appreciated by tbe traveling public. The Texas Scheme.—Mr. B. M. Hanson, traveling agent of the Galveston, Harrisburg San Antonio Railroad of Texas, was in tbe city yesterday on a tour of investigation. The road he represents owns large tracts of lands in Texas, and it is naturallyl very auxious to get emigrants into tbe state. He was very anx ions to get at the true inwardness of the Stan ton scheme. If it is genuine his road wishes to secure the carrying of thejcolony, while if it is bogus it wishes to get up a colony to settle on its lands. As Governor Coke has been chosen Gnited States Senator of late, Lieut. Governor Hubbard is now Governor, and the despatch received by the Advertiser was from him. Now there is a bare possibility that the new Governor might know nothing about a matter which was well understood by Gov. Coke. Mr. Hanson was shown a copy of the letter which Stanton showed as from the land agent of Texas. Be says a land agent in that state is something as an insurance agent in this state. The land officer of the state is known as commissioner of public lands. Mr. Hanson does not denounce Mr, Stanton as a fraud from the fact that he does not know him, but he consid ers the circumstances very much against both him and hisfsoheme. He contradicts a number of Stanton’s stores. For instance the letter says that steamers run on the Colorado river close to Brown county, which it bounds on the southerly side, while Mr. Hanson says that the river is not navigable with steamers at any point. The lands owned by the railroad are in the counties adjoining Brown and they sell their lots at prices ranging from $1 to $3 per acre. At the same time Stanton says that the state is giving away just such land and paying for transportation. Disputed Ownership.—There appears to be several claimants for the $3000 which Mat thew Adams has recently recovered from James McGlincby on an execution. This money, it will be remembered, was to pay for liquors which McGlinchy took from the charge of Deputy Adams after he bad seized them from him. Adams received a verdict when he first sued for the amount, but an appeal was taken and it went to the Law Court, where the verdict was sustained. Judge Symonds fixed the price at $3000, which is now the sum in dispute. The state and county have both put in claims for the amount and Monday eve ning the City Council took the necessary steps to make a claim for the amount A fourth claimant is found in the pe.son of Mr. Adams, who says that he has prosecuted the suit at great expense and he considers that he should be reimbursed. The matter promises to be a long dispute. Personal. W. J. Corthell, the State Superintendent of Common Schools, will hold an institute at Fryeburg, commencing Tuesday, May 15th,and continue four days. Rev. Mr. Huntington, recently of Galesburg, 111., has been invited by the Congregational church and parish of Gorham to become their u— Major A. H. S. Davis, formerly of the Farm ington Chronicle, has been appointed by Super intendent Defrees, foreman of the government printing office at Washington. J. K.

O. G. Mrs. Pinkham and Mrs. Starbird, K. aud L. 3.’s. This Lodge is in a very prosperous condition, and making large additions to its membership. Quick Work.—At the recent meeting of the Board of Mayor aud Alderman permission was granted tbcj Atlantic Pacific Telegraph Company to erect poles on Preble street. The permission was granted at five o’clock in the afternoon. When the sun arose the next morning it shone upon poles of the Western Union Company which had been erected during the night. It seems that this company has lad a charter for the last thirty years to erect poles on that street, while the former company lave no charter, and consequently had no right to put up poles even after getting per mission from tbe city authorities. Fanny Marsh’s Theatre.—The dramati sation of “Guy Mannering” will receive its last representations at Fanny Marsh’s Theatre to lay. Its scenery, its songs, and the excellent impersonation of “Daudie Dinmont” by Mr. Glossin, prove very attractive. The matinee to 1 !___1_A_»A_ A 1 To-morrow evening the Evangeline troupe begins an engagement of three days. Of course It will draw large bouses. TniEVES Arrested.—Four boys uamed De laney, Boyd, Sawyer and Blades have been ar rested by the police for breaking into the barge Island Belle, lying at Browu’s wharf, and stripping the boat of 100 pounds of lead pipe besides damaging the vessel to the extent of 500. Also for breaking into the block owned by St. John Smith, Esq., on Union street, and stealing a quantity of lead pipe. Annual Meeting.—The annual meeting of the Kerosene Oil Company was held yo.-terday afternoon at the office of the company on Fore street. The following officors were sleeted for the ensuing year: President—Francis McDonald. Treasurer—H. N. Jose. Directors—Francis McDonald, William Atwood, J. B. Brown, J. jH. Smith, H. N. Jose. _ Apron Sale.—The Ladies Aid Society of the Chestnut street parish have au aprou sale on Wednesday and Thursday evenings, This society has been hard at work for s everal years in paying for the parsonage and should be lib erally patronized. Rowell’s Newspaper Directory. The edition of Rowell’s Newspaper Reporter for 1877 contains much information of interest to Newspaper publishers and to advertisers. The new feature of the work, the description of towns in which newspapers are published, is a valuable addition to the volume, affording to advertisers much needed knowledge as to the constituencies of journal whose columns they think to engage in bringing public attention to their wares. From a summary of the Statistics published in the volume the readers learns that the total number of newspapers mentioned in the publication is 8,437, against 8,617 in the former edition. These figures include Canadian and Newfoundland publications. The total decrease in thw United States is 191. For the first time since the publication of the Directory was begun the number of newspapers has lessened. There are now 755 daily, 79 tri weekly, 129 semi-weekly, 6,5G4 weekly, 97 bi-weekly, 89 semi-monthly, 701 monthly, 15. bi-monthly and 58 quarterly publication The depression in tho business has been extreme. The lines of new papers have been short. East Maine Conference Appointments.
