EUROPE.

The latest dispatches regarding the
Eastern question represent the Greek Gov
ernment as bsing more disposed to listen to
the protests of the other European Powers
than heretofore. The popular feeling
against Turkey is said to have forced the
Greek authorities into the position they
now occupy, This warlike sentiment is
ppdcrgoinga change, and it is thought
that i: the Sultan will grant time for fur.

report that Russia bad semitic Prussia an

THE Columbus Crisis, leading Demo-
cratic paper in Ohio, has an article laying
down the basis for the reconstruction Of the
Democratic party. 1t is to cancel the
bonds, abolish the legal tenders, abolish the
banks, abolish the tariff, abolish all internal
revenue duties, anG support the govern
meat by direct tax levied on the property
of the country. 1t declares the previous
monetary and financial schemes of the
Democratic party all wrong, and that the
only way to restoration Of the party is by
coming back to these true Democratic
principles. And ia view of their advent
it declares it the duty of the press Of the
country to warn the widows and orphans
and poor people of the country
to dispose of all the bonds in their
possession, for " reputation is inevitable"
This is Democracy simmered down to what
in practice it would have shown itself to
be. Only the defeat Of Seymour and Blair
prevented the consummation Of its ruinous
schemes.

Fowls IN THE HORSE STABLE. Fowls

FOWLS IN THE HORSE STABLE. Fowls
should never be permitted to have access
to the horse sable nor the feed room, nor
the hay-mow. Their roost shon.d be eu
tirely separate from che stable, so that they
may not always be ready to slip in when
ever door is opened, and that the vermin
which invest poultry may not reach
horses or cattle. 1t is a we'll known fact
that fowls Of all kinds frequently drop a
very sordid, offensive, viscious odor, and
when allowed to go on the hay NOW, or in
the feeding room, or anywhere in the barn,
they damage more fodder than we are
wont to suppose We would as soon allow
fowls to live in the kitchen, and hep on
the dinner table while we are eating, and
to roost on the beadstead, as to have free
access to the horsestable and bain. Some
horses are always afraid of fowls, and when
one enters the manger, or rack, the timid
horses will immediately surrender their
entire right, however hungry they might
be, to those lawless marauders-E.rcharge

A QUEER HYMN BooK.-A good joke
is told Of preacher in Nebraska, who had
dined with friend just before afternoon
services. AS it happened. this friend occa.
sionally luxuriated in smile of the ardent,
and sometimes carried morocco covered
flask in his overcoat pocket.
BY mistake the minister took the friend s
overooat for his own on his departure, and,
walking into the pulpit, began the exercises
without dofing the garment, it being rather
chilly In the room.
Looking very ministerialy over his cons
gregation from behind his spectacles, he
began drawing from his pocket, as he sup
posed, his hymn book, with the Introductory
remark that the congregation would sing
from particular page which he had SC.
lected before hand.
The minister held the supposed book up
in full sight OF the congregation, and at
tempted to open it sideways, but it was no
go.
The situation was realized in a moment,
but alas too late.
His reverence was dumbioun led, the
audience giggled, and the whole scene was
made ludicrous by fellow in the back part
Of the congregation, not altogether too
sober. who drawled out
Say, Mister, kin we all (hicj jine in

THE colony Of Van Diemen's Land was
a few years ago fourishiug community.
Favored by nature With abundant re.
sources, it was land of great promise
Ia an evil hour the British Government
made it penal colony and sent thi'her its
worse eonviots. The result is a state Of
society that borders on barbarism. The
most notorious criminals occupy the highest
places in the Government. trickery and
fraud are matters of merit, and crime finds
a secure asylum. The trade and commerce
of the country are languishing, and its re-
sources left undeveloped. The lesson Of all
