TrRKEy Russia AND AMERICA

TURKEY, RUSSIA AND AMERICA
Dispatches from Constantinople say
the Sultan and Grand Vizier show
no alarm at the situation coun ting on
a peaceful solution of the controver-
sy. The correspondent of tho New
York Herald had an interview with
the Turkish Ambassador at London.
The Ambassador alluded to the fact
that Russia for many years has paid
court to the United States, and that,
therefore, public opinion in America
might be inclined in favor of Rus
sia. Americans, however, now sym
pathize with the French Republic,
and as the Russian cause is identi-
cal with the cause of Germany,
Americans may have occasion to
transfer their sympathy to Turkey.
Turkey permitted Admiral Farraght
TO enter the Black Sea with IN
American frigate. Turkey will hail
with delight any sigs of an intention
on the part Of the United States to
take more active interest in Euro
pean concerns; for the transparent
roctitude of her (Turkey's) own in
tention can only render every addi-
tional arbitcr Of Ter unsought quar-
rel, friend gained to her cause.

do LEWIS ON FOOD.

DR.. Lewis has many origina.
ideas on different subjects,a and some
of them are most excellent. On the
question as to what we ought to eat
he is very much at variance with the
majority of mankind. The follow
! ing is an account of his views OF
food:
His ideal mode of plain living is
10 use chiefly meat stews and boiled
whole wheat-which with cream
and sugar, he recommends as deli
cious-cracked unbolted wheat or
oatmeal; we suppose few people,
however, will have patience with
his gaining half a pound Of flesh in
week on this diet at total eN-
pense of fifty-two cents. ''Let me
feed family of ten instead of one
person, and I will give them the
highest. health and strength upon a
diet which will cost here in Boston
not more than two dollars for the
ten persons for week" For meat,
he advises the use Of those portions
of the animal usually thought waste,
which, he says, properly cooked are
really the best eating, and which
can be had at less than ten cents a
pound, and he accuses us of pride
in buying only the best portions.
<'That foolish pride is the enemy
which stands between many man
and a bank account" Sugar he
depricates; 'sno family of five per-
sons should use more than a pound
of sagar a week; tomatoes he pro-
nounces injurious to healthy peo-
pie, citing one case in which their
excessive use caused the loss of all
the teeth; cakes and pies are abom-
nations. 81 have often said that if
/ were a minister of the Gospel |
should constantly pray that the Lord
would help us out of this pie and
cake mania;'' alcoholic drinks are
useless, and in some useful remarks
on authorizations, he wishes whiskey
could be adulterated into still viler
state; tobacco, he cites instance to
prove is a most virulent poison. It
is strange, but it is nevertheless
true, that notwithstanding all this
good advice we will cling as affec
tionately as ever to our pies, our
pipes and port.

CoUNTERFETTERs CAUGHT--Some
four years ago John z. Mccartney
and Levi Mccartney, were arrested
on charge OF counterfeiting Z. S.
currency and altering the same, and
ample evidence of their guilt found.
In very mysterious manner these
worthless escaped from Jail at Spring
field, after two months confinement,
but Levy Mccartney was captured
four months after, tried, convicted,
and is now serving out sentence IN
the penitentiary. John p. was late

the station house at Cincinnati a
week ago. He was re-arrested at
Venice, Ill, opposite ST. Louis, on
Friday, and taken to Springfield,
ILL.,, for trial before the L. 5. Dis
trict Court John p. Mccartney is
regarded as the king of counterfeit
ers, and his arrest is considered the
most important that has been made
for years. He offered the officer
100000 to let him go, and promised
to turn up large quantity of coun-

arrested many times, and has paid

The Times shoots very wide of
the mark. The Republican party
not only welcomes immigrants, but
insists upon their protection from
robbery and oppression. That party
welcomes foreign labor, and believ-
es in protecting it as it would for
eign capital and manufacturers, if
they will come among us, and share
in developing the country and pay
ing the same taxes as the home arti-
Gle. 1t is foreign labor, foreign
capital, foreign manufacturers, on for

insists shall not be placed in unfair
competition with our own. Only

THE Republican party can scarce
ly give its approval to the purposes
of the late immigration Convention
at Indianapolis. The object of this
Convention, as expressed'in its reso
buttons, is to prevent a combined
opposition to all schemes, combina-
lions, and monopolies oppressive to
immigrants. This is evidently a
protection of a foreign article, while
the Republican party employs itself
professedly in the protectionofhome
articles. If this party and it's lead
ers desire to lay any claim whatever
to consistency, they must oppose i'm
migration. To bring foreign labor
into this country is to promote the
idea of competition to which they
are so strenuously opposed Chica-

WHY IS LACE COSTLY.

Many wonder why what is term
ed real lace-as lace made by hand
is called, to distinguish it from that
made by machine, which is called
limitations SO costly? The fol-
lowing paragraphs from foreign
exchange explains this reason:
ssThe manufacture of lace is car
ried to its highest perfection in Bel
GUM. The finest specimen of Brus-
sells is so complicated as to require
the labor of seven person on one
piece, and each operative is employ
ed at distinct features of the work.
The thread used is of equisite fine
ness, which is spun in dark, under
ground rooms, which is sufficiently
moist to prevent the thread from
separating, r, <o,,.sl.1
at is so delicate as scarcely to-
be seen, and the roonlis so arranged
that all the light admitted shall fall
upon the work. 1t is such material
that renders the genuine Brussels so
costly. On piece of Valenciennes
not two inches wide, from two to
three hun bred bobbins are some
times used, and for the larger width
as many as eight hundred on the
same pillow. The most valuable
alenciennes is determined by the
number of times the bobbins have
been twisted IN making the5ground;
the more frequent-the twists the
clearer and more beautiful will be
the lace. Belgium annually sells of
this lace alone to the value of over
four millions Of dollars. Chantilly
lace is always black, and is used
chiefly for wells and fiounces. tits /
very fine, and extensively worn.
Mechlin lace is made at Mechlin,
Antwerp, and other~localities." 4

The siege ofstrasburp 3

The dispatch Of two days ago nom Carls-
ruhe, announcing that Ssrasburg had immedf-
ateiy after the battle Of Hagenau been invest
ed BY $4,000 Prussians, and would necessarily
be Immediately surrendered, was doubtless
true as regards the main fact stated, but the
prediction that the place must at once yield,
may OF may not prove true, according 70 the
temper Of the officer commanding the garrison,
and the willingness of the Strasburg people to
assist in its defense. Strasburg is one OF the
strongest fortTesses in Europe. Adequently
manned and defended, It may almost be call
ed impregnable. The iortihcations, includ-
ing the citadel Of five bashOns, extend to the
Rhine. and are of immense strength Situ-
ated near the confluence OF the little
river III with the Rhine, the same arrunQe-
ments for defense have been made as with
the Seille at Metz By means Of large sluices.
the woOle country around Strasburr can he
laid under water, except on the side of the
Porte des Mines, and there the glaeis is mined.
1t has important military establishments, in
cluding an artillery school, an arsenal, hospit-
al, barracks, and an important cannon found
ry. It carries with 1t the control OF the Vos-
ges Mountains and virtually Of the French
Rhine provinces which Prussia has so long
and so ardently coveted. The victory Of HsF.
enau and the immediate investment Of Stas-
burg puts that place, certainly, into a danger-
Gus and exposed condition, but we do not BE-
heye that It viii be so easily overcome as Is
generally supposed. It's immense imp0rtancs
to the French should make its defense stub
born and desperate, and the fact that to Sc
cure It alone would be to almost win the war,
will nerve the Prussians to a desperate effort
for its reduction. Should the Crown Prince
hold the country which he now occupies dur
ing the remainder Of the campaign, the sur
render Of the place must eventually follow,
but the seven thousand troops which now de-
fend 1t, aided by the ssyenty-hge thousand
citizens Of the city, can, II they viii, hold is
against any force that Prussia can send a.
glinst It would be very hazardous for the
Russians to leave such q fortress IN their rear,
and its immense importance 10 either side
may make its approaches the scene Of some
very desperate fghtng,
