s A FEMALE STRIKE.-The Seamstresses Of
Cincinnati, assisted by some the benevo-
lent gentlemen of that city, have made a
strike for higher wages and have advanced
prices from % to so per cent. From what
we learn,n unless their employers accede to
their demands, an effort will be made to es-
tablish joint stock association for the sale
of their work. They have been toiing, day
and night, to obtain enough for livelihood
and a very poor one at that. The Gazette
gives the following bill of prices with the ad.

Another meeting is to be held and COM
mittees have been duly appointed to effect the

EUROPEAN INrELLIGENCE.-Th news by
the Niagara presents several important fea-
lures. The probability of rupture be-
tween Russia and Turkey is very strong
The Herald says:
"The advances of the Minister ofthe Czar
have been repelled by the Divan, and the
Sultan has appealed to England for aid. 1t
was this circumstance, together with the
fact that the British fleet had been ordered to
the Dardanelles, that gave rise to the great
fuctuation in monetary affairs at London
and Paris. Indeed, on the Bourse in the lat
ter city, there is said to have been a complete
panic. The announcement of the evscua
ton of Montenegro by the Turks is confirm
ed. In Switzerland the excitement against
the Austrians is becoming greater every day
In the meantime, the Emperor of Austria
has expressed his determination of contin-
uing the blockade of Ticino indefinitely -
The suferings of the banished Ticcncse are
dreadful. Women and children are perish
ing by the waysides. The siege of Milan
continues with unabated vigor. The Aus
trian Government expresses its chagrin at
the refusal of England to expel the politi-
cal gees--among them, Mazzin and
Kossuth. The Emperor Of Russia has caus-
ed the arrest of a large number of his army
and navy officers, for very extensive embez.
Elements
A New RIVER IN TEXAs.-Betvecn San
Antonio and the Hucces new river has
been formed within the last twelve years.
Fifteen years ago only small brook flowed
where the Leon now pours down large and
unremitting current. This river has been
formed within the recollection of the Oldest
Mexcans, and it promises TO became, within
the next half century, as large as the San
Antonio. The Mexicans and Indiaus have
tradition that the Brazos, Trinity, Colora-
do and other rivers of Texas, were, about
o,us,- or a hundred years ago, comparatively
small streams, and in dry seasons their beds
became almost dry, ano the watt STOOD IN
holes instead of flowing in their chahhels
NOVEL CLAIM.-The Albany Register says
that claim involving real estate to the amt
of two or three hundred thousand dollars, in
Washington county, New York, has lately
been presented to the Legislature. The es-
tate belonged to a Tory, David Jones, and
was confscated in 1888, according to law.
But it is now claimed that the act Of confs-
cation was not passed till after jays treaty
was formed, which guaranteed to persons in
o;tuot;on &c Ionac tho nOcaaceinn of hpi
lands The case is singular one, and was
referred to the District Attorney, to report
to the next Legislature.
OHIO IN WAsHINGToN.-Th President is
very shrewd politician and occasionally
gets out of a difficulty; but he has not as yet
been able TO fathom the mysteries Of Ohio
Locofocoism and has therefore been unable
to accommodate either side. DR.. Ods has
returned to Washington; Col. Medill is there
and now if the President can get. these
two chaps in the same bed together, he will
have made good commencement. The
only way to do 1t, however, is to find places
for them and all their friends.
whoever is drunk is fined for the first offence
So; for the second Sc; for the third or fourth
imprisonment is added to the fine, and de.
prived of the right of voting at the elections
or holding Office, and exposed to the church
on Sunday. Ifthe same individual is found
committing the same offence third time, he
is imprisoned six months and condemned to
hard labor.
WAsHtNGroN GOSSIP. The New York
Herald says that the appointment of Marcy
to Cabinet Office was to spite Gen. Scott
who entertains an inveterate hostility to the
Secretary, and that the imputations upon the
Presidents courage, which, the General per-
mitted to pass uncontradicted during the
canvass, has left sting behind which re-
quired some such process to alleviate.
