NEUTRALITY OF THE BLAOKsEA.


When Russia was exhausted by the
Crimean war France and Great Britain
exacted of her very humiliating condi-
tions of peace. The destruction of her
fortified harbors in the Black Sea and
an engagement never to keep a naval
force there, but to respect the whole of
that sea as neutral territory, were the
most important of these conditions.
The submission of Russia to these
terms was enforced. The treaty was a
contract, indeed, under international
law; but It was a contract made, as the
lawyers say, under duress, and not a
voluntary agreement. 1t was extorted
from her by force; and in the code of
morals, and by the civil law Of all ma
tions, it is admitted that such a contract
is not binding. 1t was as certain in
1886, when the treaty of Paris was sign
ed, as It is now, that neither Russia nor
any other Independent nation will submit
to any humiliating restriction upon the
conduct of home affairs, a day longer
than submission is compulsory.
On the other hand, the men who i'm
posed this treaty on Russia had plausi-
Bile reasons for it. They knew well that
any such arbitrary and artificial conven-
ton could be but temporary; and that
Russia would never regard it as binding.
But for the time, it prevented her from
carrying out her schemes of aggression.
Without feet and fortified harbors in
the Black Sea, she has no basis for eth
er military or naval attacks on Turkey.
With a feet and strong harbors there,
she may watch for an opportunity al
any time, to seize upon Constantinople
itself, while the western powers are en-
crossed at home, and her preparation
for such a step may be concealed until
! it is complete.
The substance of the diplomatic cor
! respondence which has Just passed be-
tween the Russian and British govern
ments is this: Prince Gortschakof, in a
circular letter to the representatives oi
| the Gar at other courts, directs them
to give notice that Russia will no Longer
be bound by the restriction in question
that is to say, that she will hereaftel
! hold herself free to fortify such point!
upon the Black Sea, and to build anC
maintain in its waters such fleets as She
many deem desirable. The pretext urg
| ed for this step is the establishment of {
new government in Roumania, with The
acquiesence of the western powers
This argues the Prince, changes the sit
uation so far as to justify Russia in dis
regarding the treaty made under suct
different circumstances.
In reply, Earl Granville denies th'
right of one party to a treaty to modify
its terms without the consent of the 9th
ers; points out the effect of such a stel
upon public faith in treaties; expresse
the willingness of England to join witt
! all the powers which signed the treat
of Paris in considering the Propriety Of ;
revision but emPhatically declares tina
England will never give assent to a re
vision of its terms made at the viii OF Z
single power. 1t is understood that this
answer is in substance adopted by Tur
key, Italy and Austria.-M T. Past

INSANITY INCREASING.

The physical deterioration which is
consequent upon poverty and INSULT
cient nutriment, is said by scientists to
be more frequently the cause of insani-
ty than any other. Thus we have a
greater number of lunatics among the
poor who can not obtain sufficient nour-
ishing food, than among the higher class
es, who endure far greater mental labor.
Statistics show that insanity has been on
the increase with alarming rapidity dur
ing the past few years, but it has been
almost wholly among the poorer classes
Among educated people there has been
no increase. Now, what shall be done
to prevent the scourge spreading still
further among the poor people? The
remedy is apparent. Educate them
Open avenues of industry to them il
which they can earn competency against
the suherings of poverty. This will les,
sen the danger of insanity to the present
generation, and establish such condi
tions as will render the next generation
less likely to inherit tendencies which
too frequently result in idiocy or menta
alteration.

It is surprising. at this season OF the

difference which exists in country places
of having the damp, sepulchral air of

of the week, improved by heating
before the congregation assemblies.
We have known persons prcdispo5ed

HERD oF oAmELs IN NEVADA

On a ranch on the Carson river, eight
miles below the mouth of Six-mile Can
yon, and about seventeen miles east of
the city, is to be seen a herd Of twenty
six camels, all but two of which were
born and raised in this State But two
of the old herd of nine or ten brought
here some years ago are now living. 1t
would seem that the original lot fell in
to the hands of Mexicans, who treated
them very badly, overlooking and abus
ing them. The men who now have
them are Frenchmen, who had former
" some experience with camels in Eu-
rope. They find no difficulty in rearing
them, and can now show twenty-tour
fine healthy animals, all of Washoe
growth. The camel may now be said to
be thoroughly acclimated in this State
The owners find it no more diff
cult to breed and rear them than would
be experienced with the same number
of goats or donkeys. The ranch upon
which they are kept is sandy and sterile
in the extreme, yet the animals feast
and grow fat on such priCkly shrubs and
bitter weeds as no other animals would
touch. When left to themselves, their
great delight, after filling themselves
with the coarse herbage of the desert, is
to lie down and roll in the hot sand
They are used in packing salt to the
mills on the river, from the marshes ly-
ing in the deserts, some sixty miles to
the eastward. They have animals that
easily pack 1, 100 pounds.

MORNING mEDrTATIONs.

Let Taylor preach upon a morning breezy
How well 10 rise while nights and Iarks are
For my part, getting up seems not SO easy
By half as lying
WHAT If the lark carols in the sky,
Soaring beyond the sight to ind him out
Wherefore am to rise at such fly?
I'm not trout
Talk not 10 me OF bees and such like huns,
The smell of sweet herbs at the morning
only lie long enough, and bed becomes
A bed OF time.
To me Dan Phoebus and his car are nought,
His steeds that paw itnpat1ently about
Let them enjoy, say 1, as horses ought
The first turn out!
Right beautiful the dewy meads appear;
Besprfnked by the rosy fingered girl;
What then-if prefer my pillow bier
To early pearl!
Ny stomach is not ruled by other mems.
Wherefore should master rise before the
~ Have laid their eggs9
Why from a comfortable pillow start
To see faint flashes in the east awaken?
A fig. say I, for any streaky part,
Excepting bacon
An early riser Mr., Gray-has drawn,
Who used 70 haste the dewy grass among
tfTO meet the sun upon the upland lawn
Well ;-he died young.
With eharwomen such early houIs]Rgr
And sweeps, that earn betimes their bit and
sup,
But I'm no climbing boy, and need not be
All up,-al1 upt
So here III lie, my morning calls deferringi
Till something nearer to the stroke ofnoon;
A man that's fond precociously of stirring
Must be a spoon.

DICKENS TO THE BLIND.

We have not seen it mentioned in the
notices of the late Charles Dickens that
in one of his visits to his country he
donated a sum Of money to have his
"Old Curiosity Shop" printed in raised
letters for the blind for gratuitous distri-
button. This benevolent purpose has
been executed and the books sent to the
Blind Asylums of the country. AT the
Ohio Institution for the Blind are two
comics of this work, each three large
voinmes. and are read by the pupils
with great pleasure. This is one more
fact that testifes to the kindly sympathy
and deep seated charity Of Dickens that
make his works the voice that speaks "a
the immortal souls of men.-Ohi0 SfGte

bers our party came in slowly.
THE RESULT OF THE ENCOUNTER.
At the first count we thought our par
ty had killed twelve or fourteen buffa-
Ioes, but at the final taking account Of
stock It was found that twenty had
been slain. Although we proceeded
further to the west and saw herds con-
tanning many hundreds of buffalo, we
simply gazed on them with wonder and
admiration, without feeling the least de-
sire to shed any more blood. We met
several hunters that day who assured us
that they had seen herds of half mill
lion of buffaloes a few miles west of US,
but our curiosity was satisfied, and we
had no disposition to add twenty miles
of horseback riding to our days work.
The buffalo hunt was indeed great
sensation, utterly unlike any other we
have ever experienced, and our party is
unanimous in declaring that It far ex-
ceeded our fondest expectations.
