The Eastern ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
GAsTEIN, Aug. 16.-The Emperors of
Austria and Prussia accompanied by
Count Won Beust and Prince Bismarck,
arrived at this place and were in council
last evening.
From information which has been OBJ
tanned respecting the interview, it is APPS
pretended that an opening up of the
whole Eastern question is impending.
Prince Bismarck proposes that Prussia
be permitted to adopt forcible means
which will compel the Roumsnisn Gov
eminent to pay the railway bonds which
it guaranteed to the Prussian capitalists.
Numerous railways have been construct
ed IN Roumania by Prussian citizens,
prominent among whom is DR.. Strous-
berg, of Berlin. The bonds of these
railways were guaranteed by tsat State,
but recently the Roumsnian Chambers
adopted vote repudiating such bonds,
which will leave the capitalists who built
the railways entirely helpless unless the
Prussisn Government comes to their as
sistance.
The Turkish Government considers this
an affair which foreign governments have
nothing to do.
Tle Russian Government takes the
same view of the case, and supports
Turkey and her policy of n0n-inter-
ventiOn.
The present meeting of the Emperors
William and Francis Joseph is considered
of great Importance, and the result of
their deliberations will be looked for with
great interest.

THE SUEH naNaI

NJ. De Lesseps, the finisher of the Suez
Canal, has put forth some facts in relation
to the present condition of that CONNER
cial Gus off, which are in opposition u
the current drift of intelligence from that
quarter. He declares, in an official man
ner, that the canal is now twenty seven
feet deep throughout, and that, after
eighteen months constant use, the
banks have suffered 10 percepti-
bic abrasion by the water, nor
the depth been materially lessened
by shifting sands. During the past year
there have passed through the canal the
Nestor, drawing twenty-five feet and
three inches, the Jumna, of three thou
sand tuns burden, and the Arizona, over
seventy feet wide, proving that, as regards
depth, uniformity of current and width,
the new maritime highway affords ample
facilities for extensive traffic. As to the
financial aspect of the enterprise, that is
not very llItteTing, but still not as dark as
has been reported. The balance sheet
shows that the company had 81, 167, 200
on hand at the commencement Of
last year, and received $I,2S0, =
600 during the ensuing twelve months.
But the expenses, including the interest
on mortgage bonds, and outgOes which
may be fairly charged to the construction
account, were IS 600, 900, making a de,
felt of 81, 152, 500, that, added to the de-
ficlency which also must be expected this
year, will make the company at its close
&, 10000 in debt on current demands
This adverse balance H. de Lessepj
proposes to overcome by contracting
loan for s., 900, 900, in the expec'a.
ton that IN 1872, and heucsfOrth, the
canal will yield sufficient profits u
meet sil its current liabilities. There
is no doubt the income of the canal will
increase, unless s general war should
break out in Europe, and drag Egypt in.O
the bloody, bubbling vortex. Beside
that, the English may conclude 10 build
the Euphrstes Railroad from the Bay Of
ScanderoOn to the head Of the Persian
Gulf. Such q road would take a portion
of the trade and travel to Asia from the
Suez Canal. But there should be enough
for both channels, and The predictions Of
Nj. de Lessep5 ICay be realized.

4 AN-HIuX SfOrY.

LITTLE Rock, Aug. IA Ku KIux
outrage is reported at Gold Creek, Con-
way county, said to have grown out Of
the following circumstances: A negro
named June Reed, who keeps water
tank oa the TT. Smith Railroad, had
hired a little girl, an orphan, TO assist his
wife in work. A travelling preacher saw
the girl at the house of neighbor, learned
she was an orphan and liued with the ne
gro, and told her if she would leave there
he would get her good home in white
family. She returned home and told the
negro. The latter Immediately went in
search of the preacher, and on finding him,
cursed and abused the preacher at a ter
rible rate. That night sevesal masked
parties went to the home Of the negro
and fired several shots into it without do
ing any particular damage. Next day
the negro came to the city with his
family.

= PLEASANT REVENGE.

Il must afford the French some slight
satisfaction to have fDundit in their power
to small extent literally to repay the
Germans in their own coin. Most Of us
know what German money il, and we can
therefore appreciate the dismsy with
which the authorities of StrasbOurg wit
messed the arrival of Is, 900, 900 francs in
German silver pieces. This sum forms q
collection of most of the money imported
into France 10y the invading army. Find
ing the French gold and silver much
cleaner and far more handy than their
own, the Germans were naturally very
readyto part with the latter; the desire of
the French, on the other hand, to rid
themselves at the earliest opportunity Of
the unpleasant souvenir Can Occa
sion as little surprise. There is
saying 10 Germany that German
princes enjoy constant good health,
because their faces are always 10 be seen
with red checks on silver thalers and flo
rims. This rule holds good, however,
only in new pieces, for in old the copper
red on the cheek is Obscured by the black
coating collecting on the coins in greasy
Jumps. of course this III de OF payment
imposed upon the German commissioners
the task of counting over the whole sum,
whereas the simple process of weighing
sufices for French money. The thick
ness and weight of German CONS varying
in the SANE species often as one 10 three
or even enc 10 four, the use Of toe bal
ance is quite out OF tie question. Pos
