The Philadelphia Erening Bulletin says
Of the American University of Phila-
delphia," with its bogus diplomas, that
1t has two things, If nothing more, out
of all the grand possessions which it
ennmerates in its prospectus, and these
are q charter signed by Governor Geary
on March 26, 1867, and an agency at
Jersey England, where DIR. P. F Van
Der Vyer offers to sell his diplomas for
various prices. The prospectus of this
Institution describes an institution that,
the Bulletin says, has no existence in
Philadelphia. There is an ordinary
brick dwelling-hOuse at No. 514 Pine
street which is the locale of the cam
erican University of Philadelphia, and
here. according to the prospectus, are
found .'thirty or forty professors of
great reputation and accommodations
for lodging 300 students in comfort in
''its large, beautiful and spacious build
ing on Pine street," together with its
Gown hospital and one Of the largest
clinics;" a"spacious. excellently venti-
lated and lighted" dissecting-room; a
museum, "one of the largest in the
land" and deans and sub-deans, rectors
and sub-rectors, supervising each facul-
ty. 1t is probable that some action will
be taken to suppress the sale Of false d.
plomas, as the Attorney General has
been requested to proceed against insti-
tutions which deal in fraudulent diplo-
mas, with view of depriving them Of
their charters.

PEOPLE who live in an uncommonly

good deal about the weather, and nat
urally enough, for when a winter day

and there is no possible way of deter
mining whether the one which shall

for use, a lively curiosity will keep talk
of the weather ever going. and make

A strange spectacle was witnessed re-
Gently at the opening of synagogue of
Polish Jews in Spitalfields, London.
After the dedication service, which was
conducted in the primative form still ad-
hered to by the Israelites in Poland, the
rabbi arrived to superintend the filling
in of the first and last words in the sep
har or scroll of the law. The scroll
was taken from the ark with the forms
and ceremonies always observed when
handling the sacred parchment, and 1t
was then announced that the privalege
of filling in would be sold at auction at
so much per letter. The beadle assum-
ed the part of auctioneer, and the sale
was regularly proceeded with, the words
were then knocked down to the highest
bidders at an average of $l.25 piece.
The congregation In whose house OF
prayer this scene was enacted are quite
humble people from Kalisch, West PO-
land, and the money accruing from the
auction was doubtless an object to them

This defeat finished the Turcomans. who
thereupon sent deputation to General
Kaufman offering unconditional sur
render and agreeing 10 pay the tribute
General Kaufman then ordered them
to pay .31O, 900 roubles in twelve days,
but, as money is rather scarce among
them, they were allowed to pay partly
in camels. The Khan is said to have
been muchsrelieved by this defeat of the
Turcomans andto have sent congratu-
labory letter to the Russian General in
regard to it. But the Orientals there
are so firmly linked together that letters
of congratnlation to foreign conqueror
are probably of as little value as treaties
with tribes like the Turcomahs.

AS any one at all acquainted with the
affairs of Central Asia will readily be.
lieve, the trouble experienced by the
Russian troops in the occupation of Xiii
va came not from Mohammed Rachim,
but from the Turcomans who lived in
the khanate. The Turcomans Jomuds
are powerful and warlike, and acknowl-
edge no authority to the Khan or any
body else. AS Rob Roy in the Low
lands of Scotland, they levied black
mail upon whom they chose, and only
entered into service because they were
paid for doing so. Their own notion OF
their prowess and power seems to have
affected the Khan, who, with them, be-
lieved that they could do all that should
be necessary. to defend the country
from the foreign invader. So the Khan
was governed by and in league with
men who neither understood nor
dreaded the force of European arms.
Khiva being taken, General Kaufman
at once, therefore, turned his attention
to weakening the Turcomans, attacking
first the most lawless tribes-Bairanl
and Shalui. He demanded contribu-
ton of 100000 roubles; this the elders,
summoned to council, told him should
be paid, and twelve out of the seventeen
of them were kept as security for the
payment. General Golovachev was
sent to Khazavata to see that the money
should be paid, but found that the Tur-
comans practically refused the demand,
and would not keep the engagement, in
some cases going so far even as to at
tack the Russian troops. Trouble about
the Persian slaves soon arose, and Colo
mel Blox, in pursuance of orders, sue
ceeded in destroying everything be-
longing to the enemy. The Turcomans
fought bravely and with determination,
especially near Zinukskir, where Gener-
al Golovachev was killed. But the bar
barians were defeated; 5,237 head OF
their cattle taken, 1l9 camels, and about
three thousand kibitkas with goods.

BETWEEN the present time and the 4th

Governors are to be chosen in the fol-

test between the two great parties is di-
versified by the existence of third and
outside element known in Ohio as the
Peoples Party, and which has nomi-
mated State ticket; in Iowa as the In
dependent Changers, which also has a
ticket in the field; in Wisconsin and
Minnesota as the Changers. The Wis
consin Grangers have generally united
i'm support of the Republican party,
while in Minnesota the reverse is the
case. No third party inteerYnes in
Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Virginia
or Texas, where the contest lies between
the Democratic and Republican hosts
In Mississippi the Republicans and Lib
eral Republicans have both, SO far, NOM
mated State tickets. In those Western
States where the new element, the
grangers, is found most largely, the
results of the coming elections will be
awaited with solicitude. AS the rise of
the Patrons of Husbandry has been a
thing of but few months time, and
the members of the order comprise a
very large and influential part of the
population of Iowa, Wisconsin, Mime
sofa, Illinois, Indiana and Kansas, their
present influence as exerted upon local
politics must have important results in
the future. In Iowa, especially, where
the grangers are believed to include hall
the voters of the State, will the atten-
tion of the country centre as upon the
most favorable field in which the new

The Buffalo Commercial derives some
satisfaction from the conviction that at
feast one good effect VIII be realized
from financial eonynlsion, and that is
that it will squelch, fer the time being
the numerous schemes on foot to secure
government aid for railroads. The Com
Dsercial thinks the recent events are
mainly due TO the impetus given to rail-
road speculation by Congressional land
grants. By these unwise and unjust
grants of lands and credit to railroads,
new roads were stimulated into exist
! ence where they were not needed, and
beyond the means Of the country to pro-
ton required. There is period to this
sort oi thing, for a time. jay Cooke
will not appear, as he expected, in the
lobby of the nextsCongress,' to engineer
a subsidy for the completion of the
Northern Pacific. The country will in
cline to let railroads get built by such
capital as the prospect of returns upon
investment naturally attracts. This
useful lesson to the country will be
worth all it has cost. The American
people seem almost incapable Of holding
up ON any given line of action till they
have run it into the ground. In other
words they fill their balloon so full of
gas that it is pretty sure to burst. There
is reason for this, to be sure, in the
ten thousand tempting opportunities to
make money which new and fertile
continent opens, to. our keen obserya-
ton, awakening our anxiety to embrace
them before it is too late. But it will
be seen that means to ends must be con-
sidered. A law which we cannot over
ride or evade, asserts that an individual
cannot keep forever investing without
adequate returns, and what an individ-
ual cannot do, nation cannot. Here
is just where we are. To gain thu
whole world by spreading out and ex-
cessive investments, we have come to the
verge of the abyss of bankruptcy. II
by ..dint of effort we cling to TUFTS Of
grass along the brink and save ourselves
we shall be lucky. The fright will dc
us good and check our rampancy for q
time.
