Affairs in the Crimea have undergone no
change, and we have nothing important to
report from that locality. Attention was
wholly concentrated in the Vienna Confer
ence, which is represented as being in great
difficulty upon the all-important third point,
demolition of Sevastopol, so much so, in
deed, that all the demands of the allies had
been much modified. The Russian Plenipo-
tiary had removed the matter to St. Peters
burg, and nothing further could be done till
reply was received. The French Minister
of Foreign Affairs had also been in London
to confer with the English Cabinet on this
momentuous question.
The demolition Of Sevastopol was not de-
manded but reduction ofthe Russian pow
er in the Black Sea was called for, the re-
compense being the Withdrawal ofthe allies
from Russian Territory. Gortschakoff said he
had no instructions to treat on such mat
ter and RENTED to st. Petersburg, whence
a reply was anxiously looked for.
The condition of the troops had greatly
improved, but they were making no head
way with the siege operations.
The Paris PresSe says the allies have con-
sented to truce; other papers deny this.

HIeH PRIcEs. The Chicago 1ribane
complains bitterly Of the high rents and
high prices in that city. 1t says:
81 "A man should be made of money to
live in Chicago. Live as economically and
carefully as he may, bis expenses for the
most absolute necesSaries and indispensi-
bles Of life will mount up to sum that will
brighten him, and with good reason There
is a limit to everything else on earth save
the prices for food and rent in Chicago"

HEN INvENTroE.--One of the most seri-

about the house, has been their hitherto mn
conquerable prediction for scratching up

it into general use. 1t consists Of small

that when the hen is about to scratch The
earth, the spur catches in the ground be-

In PREss.-T. 3. PETERSON. Philadel
phia, has in press, and will publish on the
5th of May next :. The MIssING BRIDE,
by Mrs E. D. E. N. SoUTHwoRTH, author
Of the "The Lost Heiress," "The Wife s
Victory" &c.
Mrs. Southwortll is one of the first fe-
male writers OF fiction, of the present age,
and this is one OF her most happy efforts.
Her stories though the most thrilling and
interesting bear an impress of reality that is
seldom found in the novels of the day. Her
knowledge and correct appreciation of hui
man nature joined with remarkable power
of expression, enables her to bring the mar
ration Of stories home to the hearts and I'M
derstandings of her readers. She never
goes into the extravagances Of pas
sion and incident that are so common with
many writers, andso tastless to all sensible
readers. The book will be issued in one
large volume neatly bound in cloth for
1925, or in two volumes, paper cover, for
5I,0J.

Boston, delivered an opinion in the case
against Theodore Parker and others, to The
effect that the indictments were void, on
the ground that the process was not sufi-
GENTLY set forth in the same, and that it was
not alleged that the Commissioner in the
Burns case had legal cognizance All the
accused were therefore ordered to be dis
charged. The result was received with
shouts Of applause by the spectators.
