Hope for Inebriates.
from the philsdelphia Dsy.1

We are glad to chronicle the fact that
temperance men are beginning to indicate
a change in their opinions and policy with
reference TO the treatment of lnebriates.
At the meeting of the Temperance Bless
ing," held at Concert Hall, on Saturday
night, Judge Allison presiding, the report
recommended the establishment of homes
for the treatment Of intemperance as q
disease; and denounced the common prac-
tice Of dealing with drunkards as offenders
and criminals. We regard this as hope
ful sign of the times. The principle that
intemperance is disease, and should be
treated in institutions provided for the pur-
pose, was recognized by our Legislature in
1866, by granting charter to the Citizens
Association of Pennsylvania, for the pur-
pose of establishing just such institutions
as the "Blessing" recommends.
The Sanatarium, at Media, is the first
fruit of this effort. It was opened in q
small way for the reception OF the inebri-
ates IN June, 1867, since which time 1O4
have voluntarily placed themselves under
its care. OF this number forty have re-
gagged in business. Twenty-seven have
been heard from, and only eleven have
proved to be irreclaimable.
Let the people encourage this work by
their sympathy and means, and let the
state and city recognize it in similar way,
and an era will commence which will be
marked by this new philosophy, and will
deal with tho drunkard in tho spirit OF
charity and good will. which is essential to
his recovery.
Erring man cannot be restored by dis
gusting reproaches. Diseased men cannot
be cured by law, or by force. The Christ
ian and humanizing methods which have
characterized the organization and conduct
of the Sanitarium at Media, and marked it
as q success, must become the popular
| means of reaching and restoring the large
class of our citizens who are addicted to
alcoholic and opium excess. Public opin.
ion should not regard it as more disreput
able for drunkartl to go to an institution
to be cured of this disorder, than it is to &c
to the seashore, springs and mountains,
for the cure of scrofula, rheumatism or dys
pepsia. When our civilization shall have
advanced thus far, and our Christianity be.
comes more thoroughly practiced and Less
technical and rigid, there will be hope TO,
much thorough reform.

THE LATEST YANKEE PROJECT is ship CO.
nal across Cape Cod. A party of wealthy
capitalists in Boston have taken the pre-
linlinary ateps to accomplish this work.
They propose to build the canal in nearly .
direct line from Buzzard's Bay to Cape Cod
Bay, through q narrow neck of land sep
arating those waters, which shall afford
sufficient depth of water to float the larg-
est class of vessels. The canal will be 800
feet wide, and deep enough to insure "a
feet of water at low tide. It is said the
persons who propose to achieve this impor-
tant work are fully prepared to carry it
out and ask for no pecuniary aid from the
state.

An Elephant On q Tear.

FOIepaugh0 Menagerlo, at COnnerSvllle,
Indiana, few days since, was the scene OF
terrible excitement, caused by the wicked
old elephant "Romeo" having concluded
to free himself from the control of man.
It will be remembered that Forepaugh
purchased of Sheriff Weber, '.Lalla Rookh, II
the female elephant formerly belonging to
DR.. Thayer's circus. Miss Lalla was taken
out to tho winter quarters at Connersville,
where she beaved herself with becoming
propriety until last Monday evening. when
she happened to remember that according
to elephant chronology this is leap year,
so she very deliberately freed herself from
her chains and strayed over to where ':dear
Romeo" was standing, meditating over his
happy days in the jungles of Africa.
When morning dawned the keeper con-
cluded to send the handsome maiden back
to her quarters, which was very much
against the wishes of her male friend, who
showed his resentment by throwing the
keeper distance of thirty feet against the
side of the house. A dog came next, and
in the twinkling of an eye he was crushed
into mere pulp, ready to be boiled down
in the tank of the Fertilizing Company.
The attendants finding that ssRomeo" was
in just such a state of excitement as he ex-
perienced at Hatb0ro, Penn, three years
since, when he killed his keeper, the ia
nous Snowman Tom Williams determined
to put him through q course of sprouts.
But how to do it was for some time the
question, for whenever any one would ap-
proach with the necessary chains, 'Romeo
would make such terrible demonstrations
as to cause hasty retreat. "
As last resort few loads of shot wer 6
poured against his trunk which caused him
to howl With pain, and while he was weep
ing over the great abuse shown him, a
streng cable was quickly slipped around
one Of his beautiful ankles, the guys were
pulled and against his most earnest pro-
tests, Romeo was forced to lie down on his
side. Then the order was given for all
hands to belabor him with clubs, which
was done with hearty good will, as man
were anxious to pay off old scores, but SO
stubborn was the beast, that eight hours
passed before he cried ''hold, enough but
when he did, he was as thoroughly con-
quered as ON army mule, and promised
never to even look at Lalla Rookh, or any
other of his race as long as he lived, which
promise appearing to have been made in
earnest. he was allowed to resume the even
kanor of his wav-En Times

Correspondence of the N. Y. Times.
ATHENS. Greece, Sunday, Nov. Z, 1869.
The Eastern question is rapidly ap-
proachinga o new phase of development and
possible solution, on the condition that
Napoleon I'LL remains chief of the French
nation. There remains no doubt in my
mind, from evidence gathered from "a
large correspondence on, and an intimate
acquaintance with, the political condition
'of the Greek and Greco. .Slavonic provinces
OF the Ottoman Empire, that the Russian
government; is making preparations for q
general and sufficiently desperate insur-
rection of the Christian population of that
Empire, and that the Egyptian
question has been raised by the
same influences to, increase the Sultan's
embarrassment. and at the same time to
give the French Government common in
terest in the hoped-for solution. The
Viceroy, to my certain knowledge, has
long been in treaty with the Gar for the
abolition of the capitulations md the vir.
tual recognition of the independence cf
Egypt, which is equivalent, under actual
circumstances, to throwing it, little later,
into the hands Of the French. The with
drawal of the Egyptian troops from Crete
during the continuance Of the insurrec-
ton was a consequence>of tho engagement
of Russia to consent to the abolition of the
capitulations. lin the preservation of which
she has trivial interest. md the recent
understanding between the French and
Russian Emperors relates, in all probabil-
ity, to the Egyptian question.
GENERAL OPPOSITION TO THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE.
The insurrection in Crete was equally fa-
vored by the Russian Government as a
means of weakening the Sultan; and the
moro recent troubles in Dalmatia stimulated
by it, to show Austria how strong hand
Pansclavism had in that Empire, as we'll as
to make a menace against its tranquility in
case of alliance with Turkey. Servia
and Moldo- Wallachia, as well as Bulgaria,
Montenegro and Bosnia, are we'll known to
be in readiness, or getting to be
80, to unite in any movement, and
the probable appointment of General
Ignatieff, late Minister to Constanti
nople, as Chancellor Of the Empire, is, in
all probability, the signal for the com.
mencement Of operations; as it is well
known that he is the advocate of the most
energetic movements toward Stamboul, NOT
directly, but as the object of an union Of
the Sclavonic tribes, who, in their utter in.
capacity to organize themselves into sep
arate nation, will fall into the hands o1
Russia at no distant period. General Igna.
tieff has been the soul of this combination
and if the means at his disposal equal bis

moment for the Ottoman Empire has ar
