The TROUBLES IN EASTERN EUROPE -
Our dispatches from Europe that touch
this topic appear to have more hopeful tone
than the facts they present justify. Russia,
Austria and Germany are reported to have
proposed truce and an examination of
grievances, which Turkey had refused, put
ting herself, with regard to her provinces, in
the position taken by Spain with regard to
Cuba, that disarmament must go before
redress. Turkey, if she has done this,
has rejected the only possible pacifcation,
and has made certain such an extension Of
the trouble as will put the revolt beyond her
resources, and will ultimately insure the
loss TO her of all the country she now holds
between the Danube and the crest of the
Balkan. Turkey has no means to carry on a
conflict with q warlike people of six or seven
millions, and her borrowing capacity is poor.
None of the Powers whose proposition she
has rejected, as reported, will, or can, sustain
her on any other basis than the basis of that
proposition, and what is the value of the
guarantees of the Treaty of Paris the Porte
must have seen when Russia put that famous
document in her pocket in 1870, and Eng
land mildly whined about it.

JAPANESE LEGISLATION AND STATEsMANsHIP
form the theme of very interesting letter
from Toxic which we print this morning
The organization and work of the Genro In
are detailed and hereafter we shall probably
have as full details of the doings of this
Legislative body as of the Prussian Reichsrath
or the British Parliament.

Governor Allen.

The rumor that Governor Allen is to
invention. The correspondent of the
HERALD, who interviewed Mr. Allen at
his farm few days since, found him in ex-
cellent health, full of talk and vivacity, and
buoyant with sanguine hopes. He is not the
kind of man to back out after accepting q
nomination. However deluded he may be
on the currency question, he is under no de-
lusion as to the popularity of initiation with
q majority of the Ohio democrats, and he
knows that they could substitute for him
no candidate who would receive as many
votes Even Mr. Pendleton would not run
as well, because the hard money minority of
the party would then have to support
imitation, pure and simple, or desert
the ticket So fatal would it be to
change the ticket in the midst of the canvass
that the party could not even afford to put
a man of sense and discretion in the place
of the voluble General Carey, who is spout
ing floods Of nonsense over the State 1t is
to be hoped that the democratic party of
Ohio may be laid out as very cold corpse in
October, since no calamity short of a third
term could be worse than the success of the
infationists. But only the improbable event
of his death can take Governor Allen out of
the field. His party will succeed with him
if it succeeds at all, and we should rejoice to
see the infationists beaten when led by their
most popular man.

A boy in Lancaster, Pa, IA years old,
broke his arm in a curious way, day or
two ago. He was snow-balling with
other boys, and expressed determine
ton to throw snow bali over the top of
bell-tower. He made several unsuc-
oessful attempts, and in making a final
tsgood effort" the bone of his right arm
was broken square of: between the elbow
and shoulder. He was standing in the
middle of the road at the time, and had
no opportunity of striking it against any
outside obstacle. and there seems to be
no doubt that the bone was fractured by
an unusual exertion of muscular force.
The other boys say that "his arm crack

SING SoNa A SN-FENCE.- Tyler,
in his primitive Culture" thus applies
to this work the law of the Interpretation
ofmyths:
"Obviously, the our-and-twenty
black-birds are four-and-twenty hours,
and the pie that holds them is the I'M
derlaying earth, covered with the over
arching sky. How true a touch of
nature it is, that when the pie is opened
that is, that when the day breaks the
birds begin to sing! The King is the
sun, and his counting out the money is
pouring out the sunshine, the golden
shower of Dan@. The Queen is the
moon, and her transparent honey the
moonlight. The maid is the rosy figur-
ed dawn, who rises before the sun, her
master, and hangs out the clouds,
across the sky. The particular black
bird, which 50 tragically ends the tale
by shipping off her nose, is the hour Of
sunrise"

LIVING BARoaIETERS.-AF French nat
uralist has recently grouped, for public
convenience, number of his observa-
tions upon animals, showing that many
members of the brute creation may be
used as living barometers Rain or wind,
he says, may be expected when the
spiders shorten their last thread by
which their webs are suspended; fai1
weather when they lengthen them; and
the duration of either by the degree OF
contraction or expansion observable.
When swallows sweep near the ground,
|uttering plaint1vc cries, rain is at hand
when they mount up, fly from side. to
| side, and play together, fine weather
will follow. When single magpie
\eaves its nest in the spring it is a sign
IF rain, but the reverse is the case when
wo parent birds leave it in company.
Rain is near when the peacocks utter
requent cries, when parrots chatter
ore than usual, and when geese are
neasy.

HYAOINTEs.

The hayacinth is one OF the most
beautiful and fragrant of the Dubious
flowers, and particularly desirable for
house culture. A very small pot will
answer for the hyacinth. Cover only
the lower half of the bulbs with soil,
press them down until they are nearly
covered, water until the soil is moistened
thoroughly, then set the pots in a cool
dark cellar. The roots viii there form,
with but little growth of top. Here
they remain for several weeks, and
pot or two at time can be taken into
warm, lighted room. for Towering,
week or ten days apart, and succession
of flowers obtained during most of the
winter. When hyaacinths are planted
in the garden, and well covered, the
roots get good start In the fall and
winter; and it is very important in
the house that growth of roots should
be first encouraged in the way recon-
mended. When placed in glasses of
water for Towering, the base of bulb
should not quite touch the water. Fill
the glasses with well water, and as soon
as the fower-buds appear, sprink-
lie the plant frequently with rain water.
Set them away for about two weeks IN a
cool, dark room, until roots are formed ;
then remove to light, moderately warm
room, and give plenty OF light and air.
Keep hyacinths in the coolest room you
have, anything above freezing will an
swer, and near the light. Change the
water occasionally, if it becomes dis
colored. The choice named varieties
grow in glasses and pots, and are more
reliable than double sorts for house
culture, while they are in every respect
as desirable.
Hyacinths should be planted in the
mouth September, October or Novem-
Der. For buds of early flowers on the
lawn, nothing exceeds the hyacinth.
Where beds are small and so near toget-
her that they can all be seen at once, it
is well to fill each one with a
.seperate color Ticks Floral Guide.

To DISTINGUISH YOUNG FROM OLD
FowLs.-The rear end of the breast
bone in chicken is soft, soft, gsistle,
which, as the fowl grows older, harden
into the solid bone; by pressing inward
upon this bone it can readily be ascer-
tanned whether the fowl has been whit
cred or not, as it will easily bend in a
chicken but cannot be bent in an old
fowl. All edible birds when young
have the lower part if the less, the feet,
and the under part of the feet soft, but
as the fowl natures these become hard
and rough.

THE BITTER BfT.-The aquarium of
the Geological Station at Naples was
last Autumn attacked by large number
of rats, which not only did considerable
mischief to the woodwork, but even
caught and devoured number of the
animals kept in the tanks. In an at
tack on an occipus, however, one of
these depredators got by far the worst
of the battle, as next morning nothing
remained of the four-footed gourmand
but the bones and part of the shin.
Though this achievement, remarks the
London Athen@um, cannot be compared
to the exploits related by M. Victor HUI

even in captivity healthy cutie

When the Emperor Of Germany was

A Premonitiou Of Death.

Mr.. Mothlel, in hissrecent volumes on
John Of Barneveld, gives vivid picture
of Henry ". of France just before his
death. The great monarch was busy
with preparations for war with Spain.
He intended to strike a powerful blow
for spiritual freedom in Europe, and was
on the point of departure at The head of
the best appointed army he had ever
commanded. But he delayed for few
days to take part IN the public FESTIVITIES
he dreaded, and looked forward to them
with gloomy forebodings. He was
haunted with fears that they involved
his life, and that he should not survive
them. He said many times to his fav-
orite minister, Sully, 81 know not how
it is, but my heart tells me that some
misfortune is to befallme. I shall never
go out of it." He had dreams, also,
which assumed to him the force of reve-
lation, that he was to die IN carriage,
| and at the first magnificent festival he
gave. Sully asked him why he did not
abandon the proposed festivities at the
| coronation, and actually went to the
! Queen to persuade her to countermand
them. But she refused in high indigna-
ton being, as is now supposed, in the
conspiracy against his life. The result
is well known, the King was assassina-
ted in his carriage by Ravaillac, as the
| festivities were in progress.
There seems to be curious sympathy
in nature with important movements in
human life which poets and philosophers
of keen insight have recognized and
noted. The dying hours Of Cromwell
and Napoleon were marked by storms of
terrific violence, and Shakespeare des-
cribes the earth and air as filed with
omens before the murders of julius
Caesar and of King..Duncan. Great men
often have premonitions of death, as if
nature or Providence were giving warn
ing of dangers for them to avoid. If
Henry ~. had needed the premonitions,
he might have escaped death and chang
ed the history of Eupope.

all the cases on record, and finds that
no medical man nor trustworthy observer
has ever witnessed the phenomenon, or
obtained evidence of its occurrence at
first hand. Numerous authors have de-
clared that the human body burns with
blue fame and the production Of an
empyreumatic odor; and ii has been
deemed plausible that the alcohol with
which the tissues Of drunkards are satu-
rated might take fire But, after death.
the flesh of drunkards does not appear
TO be more inflammable than that of
temperate persons. Even when 1t has
been soaked in alcohol for several days
it burns with difficulty. After injecting
the veins of dogs and other animals with
alcohol II has been found impossible to
effect this combustion. 1t has been sug
gested that infammable gases might be
generated; but no case of the kind has
been proved On the whole, M. de Chas
saignol arrives at the conclusion that the
spontaneous combustion Of living ami
NAL cannot take place.
