Turkey Prcpnring for Eveu,malitics.


The letter which we published on Saturday
from our correspondent in Constantnople init
mates that, rs yet, the troubled state oil Europe
has not disturbed The wonted peace and tran
quity OF Turkey. Like the other European
Powers, Turkey has declared in favor Of neu-
trality. and, recognizing the influence OF the
press, has called upon the Levant gazettes to
abstain from all political discussions on the
subject of the war. Notwithstanding its neu-
tralitv, however, Turkey is actively preparing
for possible eventualities. She is enlisting
her reserves and sending additional forces 20
Shumla and on the Danube. Despite the
rumor that All early peace may be the result
of the actual and puzzling European compIca-
tons il is not at all improbable that Russia is
inclined TO notify the five Powers which in
1856 signed The treaty Of peace at Paris that
she regards that treaty az null and void Nor
is it surprising that Russia should deeply feel
the ignominy Of that treaty, which forbids the
restoration Of Scbastopol and the maintenance
of naval force in the Black Sea. But Tur-
key is manifesily alive to the urgent impor-
lance OF the situation and is straining every
nerve to be prepared Tor the conflict in
which she may ere long be engaged.

ROME AND THE EVANGELICAL ALLIANCE
Now that the temporal power of the Pope has
vanished all manner Of strange things are said
about the Holy City. One of the latest is
that the Evangelical Alliance is considering
the propriety OF holding its annual sessions in
that city, probably next year. A Protestant
Ecumenical Council in Rome is not q bad
idea; but it will be well not to be too hasty.
The Evangelical Alliance has not as yet given
us any good proof that it is capable of being
more practically useful than the Council of
the Vatican, which, after much labor, brought
forth infallibility and at the same time ruined

GENERAL TR9GMv.

His Family, Fortune and Charity.
The following anecdote Of General Trochu will be
read with interest at time when he is called upon
10 play an important part In public affairs, as it
shows that he is not less distinguished for his pri
vate virtues than for his talents and courage as
soldier. Upon the death OF his father, some years
ago, he became entitled, under the French law of
succession to a moiety Of the small patrimonlal
estate in Brittany. which was TO be divided between
himself and his brother. This brother had eleven
children; the General had none. He simply re-
marked that his brother needed the property more
than he did, and relinquished his share Of 1t.
Not long afterwards his brother likewise died.
Upon this occurrence the General observed that,
having no family of his own he the better able
TO provide for that which Providence had bestowed
upon him. He adopted his eleven nephews and
nicces, laid down his carriage reduced his own do
nestle expenditure, and assumed with cheerfulness
the duty OF providing for the whole Of his late
brothers family aud household.
