ENGLAND.-The New York Times says
England suffers from entangling alliances
of divers kinds. Traditions of foreign
policy impose on her rulers the espousal
of Turkeys pretensions as against the de-
signs of Russia. She protests, and in
certain not impossible circumstances,
must make up her mind to fight. The
whole brood of the late Prince Consort's
relatives are more potent at Windsor than
the genuine opponents of English feeling,
which is outraged continually by the
Queens interference in State affairs
whenever German interests are touched,
however tenderly. When strong word
might have done much to avert from
France the suffering which has overtaken
it and the humiliation that seems to be in
store, Victoria was averse to its utterance.
When Russia constitutes itself the friend
of Germany and filings defiance in the
face Of England, the Queens zeal in be-
half of sons-in-law and cousins impels her
to interfere actively in opposition to the
policy foreshadowed in Granville's dis
patch. TfEngland ia wise, she will not
plunge into war with Russia for the sake
of Turkey but the decision to be respect
ed, must reflect the intelligent Judgment
of the nation-not the will of Sovereign
who cares for nothing but her precious
family and their connections

The WALLINGFoRD SUICIDE.-A most
melancholy suicide occurred Saturday at
a small burgh called "Centerville." The
facts, so far as we are able to obtain them,
are as follows: In August, 1869, James
S. Briggs married one Clara B. Calvin, but
it appears that an occasional word has
occurred, which was the case Saturday,
when Mrs. Briggs concluded to end her
earthly existence by taking stryohnine.
Some time previous a quantity of the
poison had been left at the house by a
hunter, and Mrs. Briggs seized the bottle
and ate piece the size of a pea. I'M
mediately after, her husband being in the
cellar, she called him to see some one who
had called. Upon coming up stairs he
discovered something unusual about his
wife, as she staggered and said stake the
baby" He inquired of her what she had
been doing, to which she replied "I'll tell
you if you won't tell any one" and then
acknowledged that she had taken poison.
DIR. Hazen was at once called, but too
late, as she had taken such quantity of
the fatal drug as to be past help. She
died in terrible agony in about five or
eight minutes after the Doctors arrival.
Her husband was only prevented by main
force from following the example of his
| wife.
Another case came near proving fatal,
a man present at the time drank some
cider from a tumbler from which Mrs.
Briggs had taken the fatal draught, bat
was discovered in season for the Doctor to
administer the proper antidote and thus
saved his life.

THE PRESIDENTS INDIAN PoIJCY.-
The President, in his annual message
will congratulate Congress on the work
ings of the Indian peace policy, and ex.
plain the manner in which the five mil.
lions of dollars appropriated by Congress
in July have been disbursed, claiming
that the annuities have been correctly
paid over to the Indian tribes and that all
the supplies have been purchased by the
Interior Department direct, and without
the interference of middle men or the
payment of commissions. The President
oommends the good offices of the various
missionary officials, and expresses his be.
lief that they are working the most bene-
fetal results in perfecting permanent
peace and in the education of the Indian
children. The estimates of the Indian
service for the next fiscal year are placed
at nearly million less than for the present
year.

any of the European powers to accede to
the demand of Russia but Austria's re.
ply is couched in terms very similar to
that of England, and her army is kept in
readiness. Italy has sent no reply as yet
and Count Andrassy refuses to say what
course Hungary will take. The preva.

not lead to war, and if it does Germany
will remain neutral; it will certainly
take no part against Russia.

given to the world valuable statistical in

the several States, as to have improved
them in many respects, and to commend
them to public favor, inducing the invest.

of all the material industries of the States
where such assistance in calling forth
facts of great value has been given.

Of great value to that class of our popu-
