4 Religious War Threatened.

Europe and the East are now in .
leverish state eff excitement over the
threatening aspect Of affairs in tho
Mobammedan world. The Mohanme.
dams OF Central Asia, in their efforts
to resist the advance Of Russia into
their dominioun, are stimulating and
exciting the people to engage 10 holy
war. which means nothing less thsn
the exterminat.on of the Christian By
fire and sword.
Not only in Central Asia, but in
European Turkey, the Mohammedans
have become thoroughly aroused to
tie fact, that owing to the closing in
around them of the christian powers,
during the last centuary, the political
authority OF Mohammedaoism has
ceased to exist over many millions CT
its subjects, from the Indies to the
Straits of G braltsr, and the indica.
tions now are, that the sword Of Islam
is to be uusheathed, to recover, if pos.
sible, what has been lost.
Fortunately for the Christian ma
tions, anything like thorough cooper.
alton between the Mohammedan pow.
ers of Asia, Europe and Africa, is an
imposibility. They are so widely sep:
Grated that they cannot be brought to:
gather Yet if the old fires Of Mo.
hamnedan fanasicism are again kind.
led, We may look for fearful slaugh.
ter of Christians.
England is more deeply interested in
this question than any other European
country, for the reason that she haa
several millions of Mohammedan sub :
jects IN her East Indian possessions,
which promises to give her any amount
of trouble unless diplomacy shall sue.

cloud that now hangs over her and
the Eastern World.-[Glenc Regis.

DEATH Of GEN. GORMAN.

The death of Gen. w. A. German,
which occurred at his residence yester.
day afternoon, though it has been an
ticipated for some days, will occasion
great and universal regret in St. Paul,
where he has resided for nearly qua.
ter Of a centuary, and throughout the
state, where his political activity IN
past times and the distinguished part
he has borne in the history Of the
state, have made his name and person
generally familiar to the people.
Gen. German came to St. Paul twenty.
three years ago, having been appointed
governor and superintendent Of Indian
affairs of the then territory ol Minneso-
IA by President Pierce. when the
civil war broake ont General German
at once rendered his services to Cover
nor Ramsey, and. as colonel Of the
First Minnesota volunteer, won high
reputa ion, and the achievements Of
of that fne regiment, which he raised
and commanded, was the pride Of his
subseqent life. He was promoted
for bis gallantry and services to the
rank of brigadier general Since the
war he has devoted himself to his pro.
fession as lawyer. and for seven years
has been the city attorney of St. Paul.

table The gaze was SO long and steady
that Mrs. Joblink, feeling its influence,
looked up. .loblink started, turned red,

People sometimes suppose that DR..
Pierces Family Medicines represent the en-
tire extent of his resources for curing disease.
This Is an error. Experience proved that
while the Golden Medical Discovery, Favor
lie Prescription, Peasant Purgative Pellets,
Compound Extract Of Smart-Weed, and DIR.
sage's Catarrh Remedy would, IL faithfully
used, cure a large variety OF chronic COM
plants, there would be here and there
case which, from It's severity, or from its
complication with other disorders, would
resist their action. These exceptional cases
required thorough examination into their
symptoms, to ascertain the exact nature and
extent OF the disease or diseases under
which the patient was laboring. and the use
Of specific remedies to meet and overcome
the same. This led to the establishment OF
the Worlds Dispensary, at Buffalo, n. T.,
with Its Faculty OF Physicians and Surgeons,
each of whom Is skilled In the treatment OF
chronic disorders in general and those be-
longing To his own special department in
particular. To one is assigned diseases oil
the throat and lungs; to another, diseases
OF the kidneys and urogenitai organs; TO an
other, diseases Of the digestive system; TO an
other, diseases OF the nervous system, ana
to another, diseases Of the eye and ear.
Thus the highest degree Of perfection in med
icne and surgery Is attained. The establish
mcnt Of this Institution enables the Doctor
to meet long-felt want In the treatment OF
the more severe chronic affections. BY
careful consideration of the symptoms as
given in writing. he successfully treats thou
sands OF cases ut their homes. Others visit
the Dispensary In person. The amplest re-
sources for the treatment OF lingering ahec.
tions are thus placed at the disposal OF
every patient, and those on whom the pro-
prietary medicines do not have the desired
effect can procure a more thorough aud
efficient course by personal application 10

We have advocated the plan of selling
eggs by the pound for years, and now we
see an opening to bring the thing about
We think it is as unfair TO sell eggs by
count as it is to have short weight in
raisins On testing the difference we find
about this result: Small eggs will weigh
say one pound per dozen, medium one
three fourth pounds, while large will
weigh two one-fourth pounds. We think
that one three fourth pounds is about a
fair average. We buy about 800 dozen
per month from producers, and we find
all the above difference in the weight.
Parties claim that the hens that lay the
small eggs will lay the greatest number
Now just see what a premium we are pay.
ing for the production of an inferior arti.
Gle. We still notice, and this by expert.
ment, too, that the shells of two pounds
of meat from the small eggs weigh nearly
double that of the large eggs. We will
try TO explain our idea: For instance, one
woman brings us four dozen eggs that
weigh four pounds; we pay her eighty
due, twenty cents per dozen for her eggs;
another comes, has two dozen eggs, we
pay her forty cents, weigh her eggs and
find she has four pounds, and she does not
mplain-twenty cents per dozen for
eggs. Now we say justice demands that
we pay at least as much for the two dozen
that weigh four pounds as we do for the
four dozen that weigh four pounds, while
the shells of the four dozen weigh much
more than the shells from the two dozen.
Difference in these figures are intended
for extremes, yet it is of everyday occur
renee that we find them both. Our opin-
ion is that the price should be based on
the rate of one and three quarter pounds
to the dozen eggs---COr. american Grocer.
