nounce that Greece is resolved to reject the de-
clsion OF the C inference if certain demands in
the Turkish ultimatum are supported by that
body All indications are that Greece is bent

THE PARAGUAYAN WAR;
LONDON, Jan. 15.-The regular mail steamer
from Rio Janeiro arrived here at late hour
yesterday. She brings the following important
Intelligence from the seat of war in Paraguay:
The allied army had made a vigorous assault
on the Pataguayan stronghold at Villetta, and
after desperate battle succeeded in carrying
it.
President Lopez's army was utterly routed
and destroyed. The allies captured over 5000
prisoners of war; Lopez himself with barely
two hundred followers made his escape. This
important victory opens the way to Asuncion,
the Paraguayan crpital, to which the Brazilian
iron-clads had gone.
LISBON, Jan. 15-At last accounts from the
seat of war the allies held Villetta and An
gostura. Many cannon and large stores of am
munition and provisions fell into their hands.
The losses of the Paraguayans in killed and
wounded in the recent battle were very heavy.
A report from Paraguayan sources claims
that the allied forces lost 5000 men killed and
wounded in the battle which took place on
Dec. 9th. Gen. Angola was mortally wound
ed in this fight.
Gen. Mcmahon, the American Minister, was
in the Paraguayan camp. A good under
standing existed between President Lopez and
the American Minister.

The Patrie, of Paris, publishes translation

preservation of peace, she withdraw her for
NAL objections to the conference as at present

that Russia will also concur in this demand.

When reviewing the causes of these distressing
complaints it is most painful to contemplate the at
attendant evils consequent upon them 1t is but sim
pie justice to the subject to enumerate few of the
many additional causes which 50 largely affect the
ute, health, and happiness woman in all classes OF
society, and which, consequently, affect more or less
directly, the welfare OF the entire human family The
mania that exists for precocious education and mar
rage, causes the years that nature designated for
corporal development to be wasted and perverted
in the restraints of dress. the early confinement ot
school, and especially in the unhealthy excitement
of the ball room. Thus. with the body half clothed
and the mind unduly excited by pleasure perverting
in midnight revsl the hours designed by nature for
sleep and rest the work of destruction is half accom-
plished.
In consequence OF this early strain upon her sys-
TEN, unnecessary effort is required by the delicate
votary to retain her situation in school at later day
thus aggravating the evil. When one excitement is
over another in prospective keeps the mind morbid
ly sensitive to impression, while the now constant
restraint of fashionable Dress absolutely forbiddng
the exercise indispensable to the attainment and re-
tenton organic health and strength; the exposure
to night air; the sudden change of temperatures the
complete prostration produced by excessive dancing
must of necessity produce their legitimate effect At
least an early marriage caps the climax of misery
and the unfortunate one, hitherto so utterly regard
lees of the plain dictates and remonstrances OF her
delicate nature, becomes an unwilling subject of
medical treatment. This is but truthful picture of
the experience Of thousands of our young women.
Long before the ability to exercise functions OF
the generative organs they require an education OF
their peculiar nervous system, mposed of what is
called the tissue, which is, in common with the fe-
male breast and lips, evidently under the control Of
mental emotions and associations at an early period
OF life; and as shall subsequently see, these emo
tons, when excessive, lead, long before puberty, to
habits which sap the very life OF their victims ere
nature has selt-completed their development.

AUGUSTA, Jan. 15.-The Hamlin and Morrill,
contest is rapidly coming to crisis. The
Kennebec ranks are broken, and, consequent
ly, Morrill, stock is below par. To-day five of
the Kennebec delegation have declared their
intention to vote for Hamlin.
The programme which now seems the most
acceptable to them is to vote for Morrill, on the
first ballot and then, if Hamlin receives the
most votes to vote for him on the next, when
Mr.. Morrills name will be withdrawn. In
other words, they propose to make the first
ballot kind of second caucus.
The report that Mr.. Morrill, is on his way
back from Washington is entirely without
foundation. DlRIGo.
