the Americans who lately left Paris for the east
with the intention of joining the army of Omer
Pacha, have returned, after short stay at Con-
stantinople. They found it impossible to get
to Omer Pacha's camp, and such general disor-
ganization reigned throughout the country, that
it was extremely hazardous to attempt any
travelling. Messrs. Greene and Quincy Shaw,
of Boston, are among the returned Adventures.

Heral makes the following assertions with re-
gard to the State in which it is published ::
" There is but one city in the State, and not one
soldier. We have no theatres nor mobs We
have no police, and not a murder has been com
mtted 0sth'n this State for the last ten gears We
have no museums, opera houses, nor crystal
palaces, but we have homes that are the centre
of the world to its inmates, for which the father
works, votes and talks-where the mother con-

rears men, scholars and patriots"

CURIOUS FACT IN RELATION TO Cholera
The London Lancet states that in 1889, it
was discovered that the epidemic cholera in that
city was fatal in nearly an inverse proportion to
the elevation of the ground on which the dwell
ings of the inhabitants Stood and that though
the deaths were comparatively few during the
present epidemic the same relation between the
rates of mortality at different elevations was
observed to characterize it. The mortality in
the districts at an average elevation of twenty,
and below forty feet, was 16 in 100000; at
forty and below sixty feet, II in 100000; at
sixty and below eighty, only A. at eighty and
below one hundred, only g.; while at an eleva-
ton of less than twenty feet above Trinity high
water mark, the mortality was 81 in 100, 700 of
the inhabitants

A BEAUTIFUL PICTuRE.-The man who
stands upon his own SOIL who feels that by
the law OF the land in which he lives-by
the law OF civilized nations-he is the right
tul and exclusive owner of the land which
he tills, is by the Constitution of our nature
under the wholesome influence not easily
lmbibed from any other source He feels
other things being equal-more strongly
than another, the character of a man as the
lord OF an inanimate world. Of this great
and wonderful sphere which, fashioned bv
the hand OF God and upheld by His power,
Is rolling through the heavens, a part is his
his from the centre TO the sky. 1t is the
space on which the generation before moved
IN ITS round OF duties, and he feels himself
connected by link with those who follow
nun, and to whom he is to transmit home.
Perhaps his farm has come down to him
from his fathers. They have gone to their
last home, but he can trace their footsteps
over the scenes of his daily abors.
The roof which shelters him was reared
by those TO whom he owes his being Some
interesting domestic tradition is connected
with every enclosure. The favorite fruit
tree was planted by his fathers hand He
sported in boyhood beside the brook. which
still winds through the meadow. Through
the field lies the path 10 the village school
of earlier days. He still hears from the
window the voice of the Sabbath bell which
called his father to the house of God; and
near at hand is the spot where his parents
laid down TO rest, and where, when his time
has come. he shall be laid by his children
these are the feelings of the owner of the
soil. Words cannot paint them. They
flow out of the deepest fountains of the
heart-they are the life-spring of a fresh,
healthy and generous national character.

HARD NAMEs.-The N, Y. True Democrat
thinks if Sir Charles Napier's expedition to
the Baltic do nothing else, it will at least
enlarge our geographical knowledge Of that
part Of the world. No doubt this is true
for as the Democrat pi,hiIy remarks: ....E
People who scarcely ever examined a
map before, are studying over the tremen-
dous Russian names, which are as hard to be
conquered as their owners. It is exciting
to find that the Russians are now in the
Debrutscha, and that they are about TO in
vest Matschin and Isaktch, while il is I'M
certain whether they have taken Babadaga
or Tul,sca. The names that we had in the
Mexican war are nothing to these and
every man ought to begin 10 practice their
pronunciation SO as to avoid any sudden
dislocation Of his jaw. There are some
terrible names in the vicinity of the Baltic,
but weare in hopes that Sir Charles Napier
will knock some of the consonants out of
them before they are put in the bulletins
One point Of the matter is, that no two
journals spell these terrible names alike, so
that we are in state of uncertainty, after
having mastered one pronunciation. The
Western Powers never ought to make peace
until these names are changed. Let it be
done by yermiIlion edict. ,ee
