Advertiser, in his letter of March 81; says
A remarkable, sensation has been produ

Emperor of Russia, of the secret correspon

England and Russia on the fate of Turkey
The true character OF the Emperor being
now exposed in light which admits o
neither evasion nor palliation, the belle
which was adhered to in many quarters
that some arrangement might yet be entered
into with him. has been wholly dissipated
and it is admitted on all sides that he can be
dealt with only beligeran1ly. There
remains scarcely any one in this country
who now believes in any settlement save
such as may be obtained by coercion, ane
the acceptance of proposals. no matter how
favorable, if they were secured only by the

The consequence has been further decline
in the funds, since all are arranging thei
affairs for the immediate and inevitable
struggle.
The correspondence in question has beer
published at length in the newspapers, ane
will be read with interest all over the world
1t fully explains the disappointment now
felt by the Car, who occupies the position
Of a repulsed sutton for an accomplice in hi
conspiracies. Prepared to arrange for a
division of the spoil of the territory of hi:

nothing in reply to his invitation but the
simple statement that England could have
nothing to do with any negotiations save
such as were open to the world and fairly
shared in by all parties interested.
The temper that could have stimulated
the Gar to provoke the publication of these
documents is incomprehensible to any one
capable of conceiving an emotion OF shame
since they contain not a single paragraph IL

felt at their contents by the English public
is such as has never been exceeded by the

RE-MARR1ED.-The Conneaut (Ohio) Re
porter mentions the marriage at that place
on the nth at February, of Mr.. Elias Jone.
and Mrs. Della Swap. and gives the follow
ing Interesting sketch of the parties:
"There is little history connected with
the above which may not be uninterestine
to the readers. About the close of the last
war with Great Britain the parties became
acquainted with each other, and in April
1892 were married. in the county Of Genesee,
N. Y, against the consent and wishes Of
relatives on both sides. A few weeks prior
to the birth of their second son, Bradford
now of this. place, Mr., Jones left his family
for the purpose of purchasing piece Of
land and during his absence his wife was
persuaded by her relatives to desert her
home and reside with them. Mr.. Jones, on
learning the fact, and being threatened with
violence if he attempted to claim his family,
left the country and went to sea. On his
return, several years subsequently, he ascer-
tanned that Mrs. Jones had again married,
and removed to the west"
"In palliation of this transaction, it should
be stated that the wife supposed her former
husband head: and did receive tidings of his
supposed loss at sea. Mr.. Jones did imme-
diately return to his vocation on the sea. and
from that period until few weeks since,
lost all trace of his wife and his two sons.
After a space of twenty-five years, he
CHANGED by-a mere circumstance, to learn
the residence of his two sons, and wendell
his steps to this place, where to his gratif-
cation, he learned that their mother was still
widow, having lost her second husband
after rearing ten children, and then residing
in Mercer, Pa. In company with his son,
Mr.. Jones started for the residence of the
partner Of his youth, who at once recognized
and welcomed him to her home: though
she could not have been more surprised had
he risen from the grave to confront her.
The trials of the past were recounted, the
love of youth renewed and after brief
courtship, they were again plighted, and the
finale is recorded at the head of this article"
