LIPPINCoTT's MAGAzINE.-The various de-
partments in the August number of Lippin-
colts Magazine are well and ably sustained,
and in point Of merit it is difficult to decide
which contribution is worthy TO rank as first
on the list Of contents. The eighth illus
trated article on s'The Century; its Fruits
and its Festival" embraces the concluding
chapters on the Exhibits in the Main Build
ing, and is marked by the same ability as
was displayed in its predecessors. Mr.. Edw
Kings illustrated account of Montenegro is
especially interesting and timely in connec-
ton with the war which is now going on
there As a sketch of the life and habits Of
the people of the Black Mountain, this paper
will be read with pleasure and interest. Col
Robert Lewis Kimberly's Raising the Siege
at Chattanooga" is a spirited narrative of an
important operation performed by the army
of the Cumberland during our late war. The
second chapter Of Robert Wilson's papers,
''On the Eastern Shore of Maryland" is not
less interesting than the first, which has
already attracted much attention. Resides
the continuation of Lady Barker's enjoyable
on the cage of Knick-Knacks," by Lady
Blanche Murphy; 'sCross Purposes, plea
sanity told tale, by Margaret Vandegrift; and
the first of R. Davey's papers on George Sand
which is pleasing tribute to the character
and memory Of the great authoress. "Phan-
tasmagoria," by Emma Lazarus, and "By
the Waters Edge" by W. S. Phillips, are the
poems Of the month, and are of marked merit.
The new serial tale, by Ellen W. Olney,
''Love in ldleness," commenced in this num-
ber, gives promise Of literary treat, and we
venture to predict that the tale will rank high
in modern fiction. The usual editorial gossip
and book reviews complete this number of the
popular Lppincon.

DISHONESTY BEaINs AT HONE. The
crying sin Of the day is dishonesty -
One hears much Of it in public life; bu.
as we have said before. there is too
much Of it in private life. And its
cause is to be found in the want Of self
control 10 the indulgence Of tastes and
appetites Reckless extravsgant living
is at the bottom of it all. If this living
had any true foundation in any hearty
desires for desirable things, there would
be more hope of amendment. But when
one comes to see what ill-gotten gains
are spent upon. the outlook is sad
one. Dress. display, amusement, costly
things bought because they are "cost-
ly:" wealth won evily, merely that it
may be wasted foolishly these are the
signs Of . time which is not pleasant to
contemplate.

The Position of Austria.

The Servian war on Turkey is a
source Of disquietude to Austria. Of
her mixed population the people Of the
Slavonian races form forty-nine per
cent. Of Cisleytban Austria, and six
teen per cent. Of the Translythan divi-
sion of the empire. Although the
greater part are Roman Catholics,
while the Seryians are Of the Greek
Church, they are of the same race
and national sympathy more or less
strong exists between them. The pride
of race among the Austrian Slavonians
is so strong that they have frequently
demanded separate recognition, and to
be put on footing akin to that Of Hun
gary, with the power of independent
self-government Should the Servians
succeed in creating Slavic kingdom
out Of the six millions Of people inhabit-
ing contiguous territory in European
Turkey, the Austrian Salvs would de-
sire their emancipation from the Aus
trian yoke, and either an Independent
existence as people or union with
their fellow-countrymen in Turkey, if
religious antipathies could be overcome.
In view Of such eventualities it is
natural that Austria should not look
with friendly eye on the Servian pro-
jects, and that she should sympathize
rather with the Turkish oppressors
of the Christians than with their Servian
liberators. The Hungarians, also, now
more arrogant than ever. since they
have compelled Francis Joseph to divide
the government Of the empire with
them and to come to Pesth to be
crowned, are very jealous Of the Slavs.
whom they regard as rivals. There
has never been good feeling between
the Slavs and Magyars, even when for
a time their mutual interests induced
them to make common cause for their
respective rights. Their cooperation
has always ended in subsequent enmity
and estrangement. Count Andrassy,
the Prime Minister of Austria. is in
tensely Hungarian, and will, as far as
he can, throw all possible obstacles in
the way Of Servian success Austrian
diplomacy is an enemy in the Servian
rear as formidable as the Ottoman
power in front. Austria is in critical
position, and the utmost vigilance is
necessary to preserve the empire from
dismemberment With the Bohemians,
Hungarians. Slavonians, and others
clamoring for domestic legislation and
for virtual independence, Prussia aim
ing at the ABSORPTION Of the Germanic
provinces and port on the Adriatic,
and Russia alternately hostile and

present struggle between the Sultan and

keep him upright. But for those who
love none Of these things, but simply
desire them because it is the habit Of

dren, they must need cry for whatever
they see just out Of their reach for
them is needed the wholesome self
discipline which shall teach them to let

beginning Of this selfdiscipline is in the

Letter from Sam,l Townsend.
The Latest Improvement In Newspaper
Business.

OushnCbDs
I sent Mr.. G.. 2. Johnson, of the Ga
zette, communication few days ago,
taking exception to the action of the
Committee on Rules Instead of pub
fishing my communication and giving
the people chance to judge for them
selves, the said editor makes large and
extended comments on it himself in the
Gazette. This is very liberal, indeed
and 1 will here ask him why it is that
the Republican party can and do allow
the negroes in their party to help NOM
mate ther candidates in this county for
Legislature and Levy Court by ballot.
and why the leaders of the Democratic
party for the last thirty years have
fought against, and put every possible
obstruction in the way, to prevent Dem
ooratic white men from exercising the
same right that the white Republicans
allow the negroes in their party to- osdo-
help nominate, by ballot, the candidates
for Legislature and Levy Court. The
great Thomas Jefferson, the founder Of
the Democratic party, admitted and pro-
claimed that all political rights rested
in the people Then, by what right do
partiaans. who are only the equals of
the people, assume to dictate to, tie up
and debar the white Democratic masses
from exercising these equal rights? ? All
party rules are the work Of tricksters to
cheat the masses out of their rights: for
I hold that one county meeting assem-
bled, the masses in it are equal to the
masses at previous county meeting.
If this was not an acknowledged truth
in Democracy, there would soon be
nothing worth assembling for, and this
was what Thomas Jefferson meant when
he said the immortal words, eternal
Vigilance is the Price of Liberty"
