No will the proposition to give Bosnia to Austri meet with more favor; the Hungarians wil fiercely oppose any annexation of territor; which gives the preponderance to the riva race. In Asia, Russia will doubtless ask for Ar menia and will of course meet with Englisl opposition, for England will never consen to see the valley of the Euphrates in Russiai possession, and will jealously watch the firs step toward the acquisition of territory in th neighborhood of the historic river. She wil insist that Russia has not even a pretext ti claim Armenia until it has been conquerei by the Muscovite arms. And Austria fo her part will advance much the same objec tion and contend that Russia has no right tfte a few months to that of public worship, fron which he retired on the marshal’s accession lmjauauuu, uuwcver, gave umi a eeui m m cabinet as minister of public instruction, bu he retired with Magne, the Bonapartist. Official, representatives of that powerfu trade organization, the National Brotherhoo of Locomotive Engineers, have formally d( cided, after an interviow with the presiden of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, ths the 10 per cent, reduction of wages whic went into effect on June 1 should be acceptei and all danger of an outbreak on' any portio of the vast transportation system tha stretches through the Middle States from th Atlantic to the Mississippi has thus bee happily averted. As to the removal of the two Republics judges in South Carolina, the Philadelphi Times, Democratic, says: The Legislatui of South Carolina has just as much legal ai thority to declare the throne of England v; cant as to declare a judicial office vacaut i that state, and Governor Hampton shoul pull up the revolutio nists at once with strong hand. His Jjej 'islature has been wa lowing in the mire of .repudiation, and if shall attempt to remove objectionable officia by violent proceedings, i t will soon get dow to the level of the averagto carpet-bag legisli tive crookedness. Current Comment. The silver question bids fair to take the lead in this summer’s politics. No amount ot hot weather or of repulse discourages the inflation agitator. The Democratic members of the South Car j °l'ua Legislature propose to present Senator Gordon with a gold medal In acknowledge ment of his labors in Washington to secure the recognition of Hampton and Wallace in the House of Representatives last winter. A 1 committee has been appointed to receive contributions. 1 Lionel A. Sheldon, of Louisiana, long a Republica n member of Congress, and one of r tbe Ilayes and Wheeler Presidential electors, has written a private letter in which he not only indorses the action of the President, but declares that such action was an imperative 3 necessity. He says an attempt to have sus 3 tained the Packard government by force would have been calamitous. The wool-dyed Democrat has found a quid to chew, and he is dolorously happy. “War with Mexico, war with Mexico!” he screams until the echoes roar—as when a pistol is fired in the Mammoth Cave. Right well the old liner knows what a hypocrite he is in pre tending to believe in the spectre he coDjures up, but he’s always happiest when he howls. All curs are just so. 3 The Memphis Appeal announces that there can be no peace In this land so long as the Republican party has a formidable organ ized existence. The Republican party has been willing to do a good deal for peace, and perhaps, upon a reasonable assurance that self-immolation will accomplish the object, i it willl bo magnanimous enough to “lay me down and die.” Republicans are a generous and conciliatory class. The machine politician is, perhaps, just now the most abused man In the country. Yet he is one of the necessary physical forces in the operation of all schemes of political re form. He Is, as it were, the material supple ment to the moral force supplied by the party spirit. Political reforms can be accomplished only through parties. And parties can work effectively only as they proceed orderly and systematically. And. to this end organizi r tion and machinery are essential. They are t the material means by which the moral forces of the party are wisely and effectively 1 applied. The man who would neglect them Trnillil Lo n milfl OnfKlioinef nn <lnainninn 1 traitor to the party.— Denver Tribune. In the town ot Deerfield, Mass., they keep in a glass case, guarded with all possible care, i what is considered one of the most suggestive t relics of the brutality of the American Indi i ans of two centuries ago. It is the door of t Mr. Sheldon’s house. The Indians, who descended upon the village, hacked a hole in 1 the door with their tomahawks, and putting l a rifle through it shot a woman. Two hun dred years later a mob of Mississippi Demo 1 crats at De Kalb break down a door and through the opening shoot a woman and a boy. Thus the white savage goes his abor iginal brother one better. And it may be added, that the Indians fled for their lives, but the Mississippi murderers sit around at home, and the governor of the state says all is quiet.— Hartford Courant. This is the way Parson Nasby pleads the cause of the “prostrate South“The South 1 wants nussin, and won’t be passified without it.

The Surrogate of New York has declared void the bequests in the will of Mr3. Mallaby of Sandy, Fairfield county, Conn., of certain railroad stocks to the bis hops of Washington and Montana territory, for church building purposes. A Brooklyn capitalist, undertaking to provide homes for the poor, has built a block accommo dating forty families with suites of rooms con taining everything necessary for separate main tenance. The average rent for four rooms is only §1.70 a week, jet the gross income on tbe I investment is 12 per cent. Gov. “Blue Jeans” Williams attended an old 9 fashioned log-rolling and brush-heap burning j at Danville, Ind., Saturday, and took an active hand in the operations, proving that he had lost 3 none of his old-time akill^at such work. There r was a large crowd in attendance, and speeches were made by the Governor and others. uc. uaviu icosser nreu two snots at umsolm a daughter and little son, to force them to let go the prison door, which they held previous to his entrance, but was himselt shot dead. Old man Kosser came the following day to get his re. mains. On drawing down the Bheet which cov ered the body, and seeing the upper portion of the face shot away, the gentle parent remarked “Humph! Must have fired both barrels into 1 him. That’s what he gets for coming here. I told him to stay at home.” 3 The Chicago board of education at its latest semi-monthly meeting bad a lively discussion I on the adoption of certain text-bcoks. Six o1 s the thirteen members of the board present vot ed a school geography, partly becanse of its blending of religious aud scientific instruction, although the religious element in the hook con sists simply in the acknowledgment of a direct ing Providence. A work on book-keeping, not containing any mention of theDiety, was adopt. 3 ed without discussion, j t Gen. Crook expresses the opinion that no more troops are needed in Utah, nod that Utah r is as peaceful as ever. It is said that Crook has been informed by a delegation of Mormons that there would be no trouble unless Brigham Young was arrested on account of the Mountain Meadow massacre, in which case kthere would be an outbreak, and Crook replied that they had better wait nntil Brigham was indicted. The alleged assassination of a correspondent of the New York Herald seems to be generally discredited at Salt Lake. The so-called 17-year locnsts abound in the country adjacent to Bicbmond, Va., where they can be gathered by the bushel as they swarm 1 over the ground and npon the trees. They have f prominent red eyes, aud their wings are faced l with a line of brilliant vellow. sivine them al f together a very fiery aspect. They have not jet 1 invaded the fields, restricting their attacks so far to the oaks and other trees of the forest— which, however, are so affected by the rapacious r insects that their foliage is already reported withering audjyellowing, many treesappearing to be killed. Blue glass has received a practical test during the past year in Danville, N. V., at a well' known hygienic establishment, some 200 inva lids, representing a great variety of diseases, 1 having been subjected to the blue light. The j results were a few remarkable cures; in a ma jority of cases benefit; in a minority of cases no obvious or noteworthy improvement; in no case any injury. But in view of all the facts, t Dr, Jackson of the institute, concludes that the 1 benefit is decidedly less than from pure sun. light. He rejects entirely the theories of Gen. l Pleasonton, and thinks that next to the sun t light the imagination is the important element e in what cures have been effected, j The Greensburg (Pa.) colored boy of 14, who who poisoned tho Whole family to “get even with the old man,” says he only meant to make l his father a little sick in return for having pun a ished him, and didn’t suppose the rest of the e family would drink auy of the coffee in which he put the arsenic, as all but his father gene rally took tea. He does not teem to realize ful n ly the magnitude of his crime, but the drug il gist who sold him the arsenic cannot plead the a extenuation of youth. The boy went twice for the poison, the second time becanse the first did not make his father quite sick enough to please u him, and he seems to have had no difficulty in l- procuring in all five ounces of arsenic, the inos1 of which was introducedjnto the coffee-pot. Moslem and Muscovite HOMERIC WARRIORS. The Montegrin army is described by a cor respondent of the London Times as a mass of tatterdemalions. In the ranks a majority are more or less ragged and the battalions in their ranks do not trouble themselves much with be ing in exact line or keeping any particular po sition although no army drill could secure more absolute obedience to any order. Life at the headquarters of the Prinoe of Montenegro is an Homeric stndy. When in the morning the Prince appears, a line is formed instantly, and ail uncover while he takes his walk up and down the terrace. As he walks along the line, now and then a man runs forward, catches the hand of his Prince, and kisses it,dropping back into place, and then another and another, the accepting the homage with a manner which baa a great fascination for the aimple minaeu folk—with a smile, a word of interest, in some cases a question as to their affairs: for he knows, it is said, every head of a family in his dominions personally and by name, and occasionally breaks his promenade to enter into conversation more seriously or eveu to provoke a general discussion, when a circle rapidly forms around him to listen and take part. There is nothing servile in their manner even to him, but the most unbounded reverence and devotion. It is a favorite amusement of his to wake np the emulation of the men by talking to some one of them of some heroic deed he has done and to provoke comparisons when a contest of pretensions to equal or greater merit begins every man considering himself entitled to pash his claims, which he does in no vainglorious way, but by recounting what he has done. As they are surrounded by witnesses of the deeds, rm man ilarna tn vs- -_l __a the crowd confirms. These are the warriors who are now renewing in Western Turkey the battle which they have waged with the Turks for four centuries. DON COSSACK IK THE FIELD. The most picturesque figure in the Russian army is the Don Cossaok, with his long black lanoe and his devil-may-care face. A corre spondent of the London News describes him as a practical philosopher of a manly, self-reliant' and half-cynical type. The Cossacks ride through Bucharest—fellows who never saw a town in their lives before—as if it were their afternoon custom to make a promenade on its asphalt; they are always civil although punc tilious in the performance of their duty, and they keep sober when billited in a public house with money in their pockets and a score of civil ians around them eager to stand treat. While riding between Bucharest and Oltenitzs, this correspondent met a pair of these warriors jog ging along with the peculiarly reckless,free and easy air which seems the universal characteris tic of the Cossack. They must have been wet to the skin; they were uncommonly muddy; they probably had slept in the field; it was a faint chance that for hours together they should see any one to whom they could makel themselves intelligible; they could not tel the name of the place whither they were bound, nor the army corps to which they b£' longed; they were, in short, the mere est waifs and strays on the great Wallachian plain, and yet they cocked their caps and cracked their whips and swaggered generally with as much aplomb as if they owned half Wallacbia. Further on a troop of Cossacks was in bivouac in a field close to the road. The rain had drowned out the fires, and the ground was knee-deep in mud; but the Cossaoks were not dispirited by their ungenial condition. With some straw aud some branches they had thrown np shelters against the wind, and in the lee of these they squatted on stones. Binging lustily to the accompaniment furnished by one of their number, who whistled more shrilly than any London street Arab. Sev eral lay stretched in the mud, with the rain streaming.down upon them. THE GREAT SILENT TURK* The bulletins received at Constantinopl e from Armenia hive passed all understanding and the editors of the Turkish journals have been at their wits’ end to explain them without offeoding the Ministir of War. One of the scribes hit npon an ingenious expedient—tha* of calling Ahmed Mukhtar Pasha a “great silent man.” “He is a man singularly reti cent, who loves not correspondence, and has only been waiting to have something to tele graph about. He has hitherto been operating at a distance from Kars, occupying strategetl cal positions and makiDg the best disposition of his forces, with the view of successfully oppos ing the Russian advance, and has not always bad a telegraph station at his elbow. Ahmeed 1J.. i. 11 that we need not be surprised at the silence he has hitherto preserved, and no donbt when a victory is obtained he will tslegraph more tally. This was certainly a clever apology for the silence maintained by the general concern ing his mysterious movements ;in the direction of Erzerum. CBOSSIUO THE PBCTH. Upon entering the carriage, which, like most railway carriages in Kussia, was built oa the American principle, all in oue compartment, I found active and mysterioas preparations going on for some remarkable ceremony. Bottles and glasses were drawn out from under tbe seats and bottom of travelling bags; those who were asleep were rudely awakened and told to get ready, as we were on the point of crossing the Pruth. The sleepers grumbled, but began, nevertheless, to rub their eyes and to pnll out bottles and glasses, and soon about twenty of us were ready to celebrate the passage of the Pruth. The train soon started, the windows were lowered, and in five miDntes the beams of the bridge were seen fllttiDg by in ghostly pro cession on a background of grayish light—tbe waters of tbs Pruth. Then the glasses were filled and emptied rapidly, with only a cheer after each one, and the bottles began dying out through the windows. The object was to empty the greatest Inumber of bottles possible while crossing in order to pay the greatest possible tribute to the Pruth. We drank to the health of the emperor first, then to the Pruth, then to the war, then to Russia, then to the Turks, while an uninterrupted stream of bottles ponred through the windows. These bottles had con tained nearly everything known to the world in the way of drink. There was champagne, claret, port, sherry, vodka, kvass, English pale ale, Vienna beer, some vile Bessarabian wine, bran dy and Russian beer, and they were in suoh a hurry to empty the bottles that there was no time to choose what one would drink. My glass was first filled np with what appeared to be intended for champagne, and I had no sooner swallowed it with a wry face than the glass was filled again with claret, which was a little bet ter, and I had no sooner got this down than it was filled np with, some execrable sherry, and as 1 did not get this down so rapidly as the other, my glass, still half fall of sherry, was filled up with Vienna beer, which mixture I tried in vain to avoid taking, and before tbe glass was half emptied it was again replenished with what appeared to be vodka, for it bnrnt like fire, and after that I lost the sense of taste, and conld not give the most remote gness as to what I was drinking. It was useless to remon strate.— Corr. London Nevis. Men and Women. Chrisiian Raid, the novelist—otherwise Miss Fisher of North Carolina—has exceedingly pe culiar eyes, if theCfncinnati Comercial’s Wash ington correspondent may be believed. “At the races, when I saw her in tbe stables, and watched her as with her uacle she passed among the horses, caressing and patting them, her eyes looked of a lustrous black. At dinner she was talking with a well-meaning but silly man, and her eyes were of a dead gray. Later on she found a congenial spirit, and her eyes were of the most tender blue. She is gentle, extremely graceful, and very shy; cannot bear the least reference to her writings, on which subject she is painfully sensitive.’’ Few have the noble magnanimity of Boling broke, before whom the character of his politi C»1 euemy iuaruorougu was once UiSCUSSed. Some one appealed to Bolingbroke as to wheth er the duke had not been extremely avaricious. “He was so great a man," replied Bolingbroke, “that I have forgotten his vices.” It Is to be feared, nevertheless, that Marlborough’s avar ice cannot be denied; it is, indeed, supported by a hundred stories. A beggar once asked an alms of Lord Peterborough, and called him by mistake “My Lard Marlborough.” “I am not Lord Marlborough,” replied the earl, "and to prove it to you, here is a guinea.” The Bucharest correspondent of the New York Times writes of the Boumanians;—The women are grace personified. Whether they have remained faithful to their traditional cos tume, with its wide, embroidered chemisette, floating vest, many-colored apron, and hair net brilliant with gold and sequins, or have adopted modern toilets, they always charm with their perfect taste. Besides this, the Konmanian lady adds tocher exterior advantages a quick in* telligence, a communicative gayety, and a readiness of repartee which has made her the Parisian of the east. It is the women of Wal. lachia, and not the waters of the river of Bu charest, who have given birth to the proverb:— ‘O, Dimbovitza 1 he who has drunk from thee can no longer leave thy banks,” This is the fashion in whichjllichard Waguer composes; He never sits down to his desk with the intention of producing something, of composing a song or a chorus, or finishing an act. It is remarkable that all bis poems were produced in his younger days. The poem of the Bing dates from the same era as Lohengrin. With the poetic sketch Wagner also composes

in great part the principal “motives;” that is, the musical plan or structure of his work to bo at a future day taken up again and completed. The musical sketch being finished, the instru mentation is taken in hand and completed by the master himself. He writes with marvelous rapidity when once he has commenced, and without scratch or correction, the sheets being quite ready for the copyist and the engraver. While composing he wears a peculiar dress, after the style of the costume worn by Walther von Stolzing in the opera of the Master Singers of Nuremberg”—a brown tricot of silk, knee breeches of velvet tied with ribbons, velvet shoes, silk shirt with large puffed-out sleeves, velvet vest reaching low down, and a dark vel vet coat lined with silk, the arms extremely wide at the wrists, leaving the silk armlets fully displayed. That indescribable cap seen in nearly all portraits of the composer completes this quaint fifteenth-century costume. Ordi narily, however, the composer dressesjlike any body else. This is how, according to the Tribune, tho President looked while he was photographed by Mora: The President’s photograph was de sired first, and after a mere glance into a mir ror he announced himself in readme.'.; for a sitting. A man of medium stature,[stoutly built, but not inclined to corpulency, and hav ing small hands and feet; a large, well shaped head covered with brown hair slightly tinged with gray; a full, brown beard, a prominent nose, fairly regular features, a wide forehead and eyes of dark blue; his clothing, a plain dress suit of broadcloth, an old-lashioned linen collar, with a small black cravat—such was the picture of the President as ho sat in the photog rapher's chair. The Attorney-general and the remainder of the party were in another part of the room while 10 negatives for imperial pho tographs in several positions were taken. All the negatives presented excellent likenesses and met Mr. Hayes's fullest approval. During the intervals caused by the preparation of ma terial by the artist, the President strolled across the floor with his hands clasped before him, his favorite attitude, and at times apparently lost in reverie. After his last sitting he sub scribed his name in Mora’s autograph album of celebrities. The inscription was in a plain, bold hand, and read simply, “K. B. Hayes Fremont, O.” Mr. Hayes placed his auto graph, opposite that of Vice President Wheel, er’s, and a few leaves from those of ex-Gov. xavui uuuiuau) BY TELEGRAPH. MAINE. TEMPERANCE.

Personal. Dr. Fred Quinby of Saco, has been appointed Pension Surgeon. Mr. Horace Jordan formerly of this city, but now of the Brooklyn Eagle, is engaged to write the leading article for the August number of Frank Leslie’s Popular Monthly Magazine. His topic will be the Crimean War of 1854-6, giving a condensed history of the causes of that struggle together with a brief account of tbe battles of the AlmaBalaklava, and Inkermann, and the siege of Sebastopol. Many friends in this city will be pleased to learn that Mr. Jor dan purposes to return to Portland sometime during the present month where he will remain till autumn. The recent developments regarding the tragic death of the officers, crew and passengers of the steamship George S. Wright, are of partic ular interest to many Maine people from the fact that Col. John S. Walker was one of the victims. He was a native of Fryeburg. Lat terly he has been stationed at Portland, Oregon, and was on a trip from that city to Sitka, to pay troops, when tbe disaster occurred which led to his untimely death. His newly-wedded wife was with him, and she was probably the passenger alluded to in the story of the Indian Coma, the only survivor. It is a singular coincidence that while Mr, George Bignold, a London actoT, was playing “Colonel Challice” in “Alone” in th;s city, Mr, James A. Arnold, so well-known on Portland boards, was taking the same part at the Surrey ThcUfro T/in/?An AT»• Arnnlil’j imnnronniitinn won high praise. One of the London dramatic reviews says: “We give hearty praise toMr J. A. Arnold for his careful and effective em bodiment of the stern Colonel who, for so long >a time, resents his daughter’s fault, and who s so slowly induced to recognize her. Mr. Arnold played the character with much feeling, and always in good taste, never iodulging in the slightest exaggeration.” At the farewell f benefit toMr, Creswick before that gentleman’s departure for Australia Mr. Arnold assumed the part of the ghost in Hamlet and delighted the critics with his fine voice. That voice would he the most effectual means of drawing a crowded house at a Portland theatre to-iay, The New Texas Colony. Mr. Severns and his associates secured rooms yesterday for the headquarters of the new Texas Colony at No. 23 Temple street. In the afternoon a meeting of those wishing to go to Texas was held, and upwards of twenty signed a paper headed as follows: We, the undersigned, hereby subscribe our names and become members of the Texas Colony being formed, with headquarters at 23 Temple street, Portland, and we agree to abide by the rules and regulations that may be adopted, and desiie to have all matters con dacted in sncli a manner as to commend them selves to the confidence ana support of the best citizens. The meeting organized temporarily by choos ing Charles Jackson, Chairman, and Charles Lawrence, Secretary. W. H. Severns, K. A. Kobinson and It. B. Whitcomb were appointed a committee on nominating permanent officers. They will report at a meeting to be held to-day. The plan is to choose a President and a Treasurer who are residents of this city, and gentlemen who do not intend to'go to Texas. Three of rhe directors will be members of the Colony, as w ill be the Vice President. After a permanent organization iseffected, Mr. Hanson will lay h s plans before them. He dees not propose to give them farms and pay the trans portation, tut he has a very business like proposition to make the Colony when it is organized. He will ask the Colony to choose three of their most practical mon to go to Texas with him acd see the land they are to settle upon. The tract now proposed is In Kimple county, and the land is said to be excellent. It is well watered, acd the Lo.th fork of the river Llama flows through the centre. Last evening there was a very large meeting at the rooms on Temple street. Mr. Hanson addressed them at some length, and about forty signed their names to the list of members. It is expected that a permanent organization will be effected to-day. Mistaken Identitv,—About a week ago a deputy sheriff of Cumberland County was waited upon by a young lady living less than a thousand miles from Portland, who complained that her husband bad suddenly left home and the wife of one of the neighbors bad left ner husband at the same time, snd the belief wras strong in her breast that the pair were living in an unlawful manner in this city. The sheriff came to this city, and instead of looking np the matter himself as he was engaged to, turn' ed it over to the police. Special Detective Seth Sterling was detailed to look np the case. He obtained photographs of the pair and that of the lady shows her to be possessed of great per sonal beauty. WedLesday night the detective visited the theatre and thought he espied the ooject oflbis search. In fact, he was so sure of it that he sat down and witnessed the peifoim aoce to the close. Then he waited until the supposed young Lothario came in sight on his way out of the hall, when he attracted his at teution and called him one side. The photo' graph was shown the young man, but he failed to recognize in it his own likeness, and the lady ou his arm supposed it was a joke and set np a laugh. Koitanately for the detective someone in the vicinity knew the couple who were being interviewed, and mildly suggested to his high ness that he had made a blunder, as they were were well known residents of this city. Then the cnrtain diopped. While the enterprising detective was watch ing the performance at the theatre, the couple he was really after weie preparing to leave the city, having spent a week at a private residence within a stone’s throw of Oily Hall. They da parted on the midnight train and had the mat ter been given to the patrolmen they would haye been arrested at the depot THE T'BIENDS. Yearly Meeting fcf This Society-Their Domini*, History, Snfierings, &c. The Society of Friends, having for more than 200 years held their annual Jane meeting at Newport, It. I., have concluded for the greater convenience of Eastern members to transact their business this year in this city, commencing on Saturday morning at City Hail. Sunday will he devoted exclusively to worship and the preaching of the gospel o* free grace. For over two centuries this Society has been noted as holding deeply spiritual gospel views, thoroughly evangelical and orthodox, in the accepted sense of these terms. Geo. Fox, their pioneer, says: “I came not to call men into sect, but out of all sect into Christ” Ignoring implicit dependence on human creeds, the noted William Penn exclaims: ‘‘Thank God, the Bible only is our creed!” In the spiritual night of the 17th century, Fox arose to preach simple, primitive, un ritnalistic Christianity, based on Christ’s finished work, with the fonr corner stones defined by Mr. Moody last week as essentials: 1st, the Atonement; 2d, Justification by Faith; 3d, Regeneration; 4tb, Resurrection and Christ a living Saviour. This simple faith, flinging aside all ritualism and ordinances, gathered in a few years in England 100,000 followers. Their preaching squares true with Rowland Hill’s—three R’s, viz: 1st, Ruin by the fall; 21, Redemption by Christ; 3d, Regeneration by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Bible they recognize as the standard of faith through which the Spirit discloses God’s will. They reaffirm with Luther, that “all doctrine that cannot be deduced therefrom, or proven thereby, is of the devil,” and that this Holy Bible is their only outward guide to parity, happiness, and Christ. They believe (in the language of Fox) that “the Holy Spirit comes to the unregenerate man, convicts him of sin, leads him to Christ, and poiuts him to the atoning blood.” They believe that God has created man a free I agent to acceptor reject the convictions and' overtures of the Holy Spirit, and that in the Holy Bible, Father, Son and Holy Spirit,though distinctly revealed as manifestations of Deity, are one God over all blessed for ever, accepting, as William Penn says, “most fully the teachings of the Apostles’ ancient creed on these mat ters.” In common with other evangelical churches (Penn asserts) “We accept also the several primary articles of the Church of England on matters of salvation.” Most especially do the Friends hold dear the Xfth Article of that Church—“We are ac' counted righteous before God only for the sake of our Lord Jesus Christ by faitli, aod that nut of our own works or deseryiugs.” This same Lord Jesus they hold to he God over all iu His Deity, and in His humanity per fect and sinless. They always have maintained the need of repentance, or submission to tho will of God, and of regeneration by the power of the Holy Spirit. A century before tho Wesleys did George Fox and his colleagues preach the sublime doc trines of sanctification, perfect trust, and holiress of life, with unrivalled boldness and power. For the personal coming of the Lord Jesus to judgment in' power and great glory, with all the holy angels, the Friends wait; as the reappearance of their triumphant Lord; the hope of His church! And strongly do they deprecate all attempts to spiritualize away this glorious appearance of the Great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ. The doctrine of the g'otious resurrection of his saints, at the coming of the Lord to reign with Him forever, and the wicked to “indigna tion and wrath,” they most fully affirm. Ho poiut more prominently marks this So ciety than its utter discarding of all outward symbols and sacraments, believing with St. il»i \tt: ___,1 that there is hut oue baptism, that of the Spirit; anil one communion, of the forgiven soul with its risen Lord; that all symbols of these are at variance with His spiritual king dom; that St, Paul (Colossians ii, 20 to 23) settles the question for ever. And Justin Martyr in still stronger terms endorses the lan guage of the Apostle. The further fact that for COO years the Protestant Church ignored the symbol of baptism puts the position taken by the Friends beyond question. Tho views of the Society in regard to peace, total abstinence, slavery, prison retorm, capital punishment, and liberty of conscience, are world known. The opprobrious epithet “Quaker” was ap plied in scorn to Geo. Fox by an insolent British justice, whom he had bidden to tremble at the name of the Lord. Perhaps no modern branch of the Christian Church has suffered for Christ’s sake more keenly than this—scourging, banishment, prison and martyrdom. In 47 years, ending 1G97, Iwehty-three thousand Friends were sufferers for conscience sake, no less than 388 having sealed their martyr lives with death in prison or on the gallows. Four of these noble Christian martyrs, hung by Endicott on Boston Common, probably accomplished for New England’s cherished liberty of conscience more than the world will ever recognize. Charles Spurgeon remarks that the simplicity of Friends for 200 years has been a standing rebuke to the fashionable follies of the world. The Society numbers in the United States about 00,000, with 11 yearly meetings, several colleges, 062 church edifices, §4,000,000 church property, and a Sabbath school roll of 05,000. The membership in England and Ireland is 20,000; also churches and foreign missions in Norway, France, Germany, Syria, Palestine, Madagascar, India, Mexico, and a yearly meeting for Australia and Tasmania. Among the distinguished ministers who are present from out ot New England are the fol lowing: William Wetherald, Canada, David B. Updergraff, Ohio. John Y. Hoover, Iowa. Edmard C. Y'oung, Ohio. Thomas W. Ladd, New York. Sarah B. Satterthwaite, England. Martha N. Hunt, Indiana. Deborah C. Thomas, Baltimore. Kebecca Collins, New York. Allen Joy, North Carolina. Among the arrivals yesterday we notice the following who are members of the Conference: Eli Jones and J. W. Jacob of China, Miss Bebecca Smiley, sister of the gifted speaker, Miss Smiley, Hon. Joseph Grinnell and Mrs. Grinnell of New Bedford, B. Buftum ot Provi dence, W. Jones and wife, T. K. Earle and wife, E. Howland, and G. Howland of New Bedford. to-day’s exercises. Business meetings for ministers and elders only will be held at 9 a. m. and 4 p. m. At 7.30 p. m. theie will be a public preaching meeting at City Hall, to which the public generally are inviled. The men’s meeting will be called to order by the clerk, Mr. Newhall, and the women’s by Mrs. Gerttude Caitland, formerly Gertrude Whittier of this city.

The announcement should he suffi cient to draw a crowded bouse, lor this lady de serves ample recognition for her efforts in the past to please the theatre-goers of the city. The Dill is a very attractive one, “The Hunchback” being the play. On this occasion Miss Victoria Cameron will make her appearance after an absence of two years, assuming the character of “Helen.” Mr Caldertakes the part of “Mo dus.” The fact that three members of the orig inal Museum company will appear in the play ought to ensure an exceptionally large audi ence. A Pleasant Occasion.—On Wednesday evening a number of the many friends of Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Kemp of the Canadian Ex press Company, surprised them by assembling at their residence on Elm street, and celebrat ing the 10th anniversary of their marriage, and presenting them among other valuable articles a splendid silver tilting ice pitcher with, stand and cup, from the jewelry store of Mr. C. H. Larnson. The pitcher wag appropriately in scribed in memory of the occasion. The Texan Fizzle. Last evening the Texas headquarters oi Federal street were crowded with about as mis ccltaneous company as is generally fouud in room of the size. Among others there were loadiug physician of the city, two ex-member of the City Council, a prominent lawyer, an* others too numerous to mention—all draw there by cariosity. Mr. Stanton told the Com pany that all who were not members mas retire, but they all supposed he was “gassing,1 and no one moved. Then he had the 30 names called, and each man stepped over ai imaginary line when his name was called This didn’t work, for quite a number steppe* over the line when their names were not called and the President got mad aud threatened t shove every man through the window who dii not retire. He thought he ought to commenc somewhere, so he commenced on a chap wh was more of a fellow than ho supposed, H ordered him out, aud ho as promptly told bin he wouldn’t go. The more he talked the les ha said, and when in the heat of his passioi Vice President Hyer attempted to expostulat with him and urge him to epeu tho meeting wliijli he did about 8 o’clock. Then the fui commenced in earnest. About every third man present was a boy and a hard boy at that, aud every two minute they would interrupt the speaker and ask bin some foolish question. Then a crowd wouh make a iush at the door and burst it in, to thi utter confusion of the meeting. Mr. Stanton told them that the present wa; of runuiog the Colony was not a success, ant it had been decided to do away with officer and all go in together. He wanted to choossts. One day Web ber had three bills against the old man, one of which he had sued, about one he had written a letter, aud the third had just come in. Uncle Alfred came to sec about the one which had been sued, and, after a pro_ longed and animated debate, paid it. Then Webber suggested to him the propriety of pay ing the one about which a letter had been sent, and thus saving the expense of a writ. The old man demurred for a while but finally set tled that, and then, remarking in a conclusive tone “I hope I’ve got through with you now,” prepared to go. “Well, no,” said Webber, go ing to his safe, “I’ve got another little bill here which perhaps you’d like to look at before you go.” This was too much (or the old man aud he broke into a torrent of objurgations. After he had become a little calm, Webber re marked in bis blandest tone “Uncle Alfred, I will make you a proposition. If you will for the next two hours go around the streets here, mingle in the various groups of people on tho streets and in tbe stores and lead the conversa tion to such a point that you can remark to them that young Webber is a very clever fel low,I will discount toyou a dollar and a half on this bill.” Old Alfred paused aghast and almost lost his breath at this modest proposal. He wanted the dollar and a half bad, but when be realized what he was expected to do for it, his heart sank. He said impressively, “Squire Webber, I’m a very old man and have done many wicked things in my life; but with my views of eternity I can't lie like that for mon ey.” It is needless to say that the dollar and a half was discounted without compelling the old man to outrage bis tender conscience. Struck by Lightning.—The lightning ac companying the heavy shower Wednesday af ternoon was very vivid injtlie vicinity of the Hutchin’s school house, in Kennebunkport, and struck the residence of Mr. Jonathan Brown. In the house at the time besides Mr. B. was Mr. Timothy Beasley, a nSighbor, and Mr. Daniel Brown of Portland. The electic flash first took a balm gilead tree, splitting it down into the roots, one of which it followed to the house, throwing out a portion of the under pinning and causing other damage. Mr, J. Brown aud Mr. Ptrsley were affected but little beyond the stunning noise, but Mr. Daniel Brown was thrown from a rocking chair on to 4he floor, and injured in tbe back aud leg?, pre sumed not permanently STATE NEWS.

They are compounded of vege table ingredients, and contain nothing which can be injurious to the human constitution. Other reme dies advertised as cures for Consumption, probably contain opium, which Is a somewhat dangerous drug in all cases, aud if taken freely by consumptive patients, it must do great injury; for its tendency is to confine the morbid matter in the system, which, of course, must make a cure impossible. Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup is warranted not to contain a particle ot opium: It is composed of powerful but harmless herb3, which act on the lungs, liver stomach and blood, aud thus correct all morbid secretions, and expel all the diseased matter from the body. These are the only means by which Con sumption can be cured, and as Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills are the only medicines which operate in this way, it is obvious they are the only genuine cure for Pulmonary Consumption. Each bottle of this invaluable medicine is accompanied by full directions.

The buildings consists of a large 2 story wooden House, very thoroughly built and in good repair. Wood sbed, connecting the House and Barn. The Barn is new, 40 x 40 feet, with 20 teet post, and is probably the best barn at the Corner. The site of these buildings is the highest in the vicinity, being 15 or 20 feet above the country road. With these build ings are about 33 acres of choice land; one half of it is cleared, the other half makes a fine pasture. The field cuts about 15 tons of fine hay, and with a small outlay can*be made to cat double that amount. The situation and quality of the soil offers unequal advantages for early gardening. The land can be di vided into bouse lots to great advantage, and find ready sale in the rapidly growing town. It is but 5 minutes Valk to the Horse cars, Maine Central and Portland Rochester stations, The buildings will be sold with 6 acres of land, with the privilege ot bal ance at a low price and upon easy terms of payment.

_POETRY._ To Victor Hugo. BY ALFRED TENUVSOX. Victor in poesy! Victor in romance! Cloud weaver of phantasmal hopes and fears! French of the French and lord ot human tears! Child lover, bard, whose fame lit laurels glance, Darkening the wreaths of all that would advance Beyond our strait, their claim to be thy peers! Weird Titan, by thy wintry weight ot years A s yet unbroken I Stormy voice of France, Who does not love our England, so they say; 1 know not! England, France, all men to be, Will make one people, ere man’s race be run; And I, desiring that diviner day, Yield thee full thanks for thy full courtesy To younger England in the boy, my son. —In the Nineteenth Century for June. From the Maine State Press of June 7,1877.] History of Seven Days. The New, lor the week ending Wcdue.day Night, Ji:ne O. NATIONAL. CAPITAL The Secretary of the Treasury has referred to a committee, consisting of Treasurer Wyman, Mr. McPherson, chief ot the bureau of print ing and engraving, and Comptroller Knox, the question as to what estimated amount of frac tional currency has been destroyed and is never to be presented for redemption, and upon their report will decide whether the law limiting the outstanding fractional currency and silver coin to 850,000,000 will permit the issue of additional silver to cover the currency destroyed in circu lation. A special agent of the post office has been sent to Clinton and St. Francesville, I>a., to In vestigate cases of postmasters of those places, both of whom report that they have had their lives threatened if they attempt to take posses sion of their offices. Both are colored men. The special agent is directed to install them, and then if not capable to so report and if the places continue to prevent the lawful officers from taking possession of their federal offices the post offices will be abolished. Attorney General Devens has had all the rep resentations on the Chisolm massacre referred to him to ascertain whether there is any author ity for the Federal courts to interfere. The Secretary of State takes part in the investiga tion from the fact that the British authorities complain that one of the parties massacred was a British subject. CHIMES AKD CASUALTIES. A great oil fire occurred near Millertown, Pa., Saturday. A tank containing 32,000 bar rels of oil was struck by lightning and the oil totally consumed. Loss §85,000. A fifteen year old son of S.

Pennell for the murder of his wife has been sentenced to be hanged at Elmira, N. Y., July 20th. In the case of Lucy A. Mink tried for the murder of Charles Bicker at Lowell the jury, returned a verdict of manslaughter. Miss Mink it will be recollected, is the woman who was tried for the murder of Dr. Baker in Warren in this state. A water spout flooded the country two miles Northwest of Burlington, Iowa, Monday and did considerable damage to foundries, machine shops and agricultural works in that locality Mary Mastuton, aged seven years, kidnapped from Philadelphia last April, has been re covered. Half the business portion of the town of Union, S. C., was burned Sunday. Loss $100, 000; insurance $30,000. Lydia Sherman, the notorious poisoner and who escaped from the Connecticut state prison where she was serving a life sentence, has been retaken. Indians have been murdering mail carriers and telegraph repairers in Arizona. Several persons were killed and a number badly injured by an accident on the Lehigh Valley Bailroad Friday. A Mormon avenger shot at J. B. Stillson, Utah correspondent of the New York Herald Saturday night and then tried to stab him. THE TCRKO-BUSSIAIt WAR. The sixth week of the Turko-Bussian cam n&if?n linns'SI with if. no oi'Anf.a rtf tViQ mnaf nnr_ sory military interest from the seat of war- Even the war correspondents have become tired of recording changes of corps or divisions which are contradicted within a few hours or else offset by counter movements which deprive them of all significance. On the Danube the Russians have at last occupied the chief posi tions, and their lines extend from Galatz to Kalafat, but a formidable river bars their way, and until the stream returns to the normal summer level it will be perilous if not physi cally impossible to take the army across. It is now hardly possible that the Russians can exe cute great military operations for the next three weeks. They may come to close quarters with the Tarkish armies about the beginning of July, so the oampaign will probably be pros ecuted under the greatest heats of summer. The region of the lower Danube is terribly un. healthy for strangers, so it may be presumed that the Russians will endeavor to traverse with all celerity the more unhealthy districts. There are 210,000 Russians in position on the Danube without counting the Roumanians and reseves being brought forward, who amount to 60,000 men. A British newspaper correspondent writes from Constantinople: During the past few days I had interviews with a number of officials of the Turkish government and with prominent men of Jail classes, well acquainted with the situation of affairs. Information from these sources and my own intimate knowledge of Turkey and the government, enable me to say that corruption and bribery which are rife everywhere, destroy all chances of Turkish success. There are no horses, no money and no order in the management of affairs. All the carriage horses in the country have been seized by the government for war purposes. Another body of Softas were exiled to-day, who were accompanied to the vessel on which they took their departure by a large number of sympathizers. The Sultan is a nonentity. With 330 women and 5000 persons of all classes in the palace to feed daily, the strain on the treasury is intense. There is not a particle ol patriotism among the officials to give ground for the slightest hope. The contract for army stores and equipment are awarded by means of bribery by officials having the matter in charge. The advertisements in newspapers of contracts open to general competition are more shams, and connived at by the Minister of War and those that surround him. The constitution of thecountry is also a sham and disregarded in every possible manner. Tbe parliamentary deputies are returning to their homes in dis gust, and the laws which have been passed will never be put in force. The Minister of War, however, informed me that Turkey would figh to the last. The Sultan has given up all hope of aid from the English government. In the British Commons Tuesday a des patch was laid on the table addressed by Derby to Lyons, British Ambassador at Paris. Derby informs Lyons that Great Britain declines the proffer of De Lesseps to j keep open the Suez canal to all nations, and had intimated to Russia that anv attemnt to blockade or otherwise interfere with the canal or its approaches would be regarded by Eng land as a menace to India and grave injury to the commerce of the world, incompatible with the maintenance of the British attitude of pas sive neutrality. At the same time it was inti mated to the Forte and Khedive that England was firmly determined not to permit the canal to be made the scene of any combat or other war like operations. Kiernan’s London despatch says that Gortschakoff’s note to Lord Derby, of which Count Schouvaloff is bearer, states that the Czar does not want any territo rial increase in Europe, but only desires auton omy for-Bulgaria and the independence of Rou mania and Servia. He demands the cession of Armenia, from Bayazid to the coast, but not including Erzeroum. The London Times’s correspondent says it is now well known what the real difficulties of the situation are. Russia can only escape the more threatening consequences of her under taking by prom ply and energetically limiting it, It is evident that the day Servia takes part in the war, or Roumanian troops cross the Danube, Austria will occupy one or both of the principalities, and then the real Eastern ques tion will commence. Certainly Russia is doing her utmost to keep Servia back. The difficul ty raised as to the command of the Roumanian troops is only another effort to pre vent Roumania from crossing the Danube, but Bussia has no longer much influence over Ser via, whom she abandoned and humiliated. An early explosion in Servia may, therefore, be feared. The Czar sees this. It is said that if he joins the army it will be to arrest it after the first victory, to neSotiate rapidly with the Sultan, and finish the war before it develops these threatened complications. The spirit of the Russian people, tho influence of the Slav committeos and the enthusiasm of the army are feared. It is asked whether the Emperor’s presence will suffice to encounter this three fold element. Some people think the cession of Batoum might satisfy every one without alarming anybody. But this opinion i3 not very generally held in Russia. The rumors of unofficial peace negotiations still continue to reach the public, but at the same time Russia is making stupendous prep arations for crossing the Danube, though at what point is not yet known. It is reported that Count Schovaioff will shortly bring to Lon don and present to Her Majesty’s Government the Czar’s assurances of Russian non-interfer ence with the British interests in tho East. Prince Gortschakoff is undoubtedly influenced to take this course by Bismarck, who is now anxious to avoid complications which must ar rive after the passage of the Danube has been effected. The Russian Government, it is un derstood, would be content with the cession of Armenia. Bismarck advises England to take Egypt and to allow Germany to consolidate on the Danube by an arrangement with the Aus trian Government. OTHER FOREIGN NEWS. It is hinted that Mr. Gladstone is about to as sume the leadership of a new radical party, whose programme will involve such great re forms as, first, disestablishment of the national church of England, just as the church of Ire land was removed from state control; second, a complete reform in the tenure of land, such as the abolition of the primogeniture and the right of entail; and third, perhaps the abolition of the llouse of Peers as a governing body, if not indeed the entire abolition of the titles of nobility as well. Ex-President Grant is receiving an enthusi astic reception everywhere in England. No such honors have ever before been extended to an American. The French situation remains nnehanx*.
