why the Diamond spectacles" are eye

as the core or centre Of the lens comes

THE advent of competition in passenger
rates has stimulated travel, and created ac-
tivity among railroad men representing diff
ferent routes. On Friday a Centennial
bridal party was beset by the respective
agents of the International and Central
routes, and they only escaped court plaster
opportunities when bottom figures were
reached. The Central and Pioneer route
takes the bridal party to the Centennial.

the better they will be of. People should
learn to live according to their ability to
pay, instead of complaining about the high
price of living. Austin Is not high priced
town, unless people are fond of putting
on style, and that takes money anywhere.

A meeting in favor of amnesty was held here
last Friday, with NJ. Harant, President of the
Municipal Coancil, chairman, at which DR..
Robinet and Others made violent speeches,
going so far as to justify the Commune.
On account of the ~infammatory and illegal
character of the proceedings. the government
has Instituted proceedings against the organi-
zerS of the meeting.
1t is also stated that the journal Les DrOiEs
sc PHomme will be prosecuted under the
press laws for publishing DR.. Uobinet's
speech.
LONDON, April 90.
The Standards Paris despatch says a great

O&HA'N AARAn @Ot
A caucus Of the national liberals was held
here last night to consider the bill providing
for the sale of the Prussian railways to the
Empire.
No formal vote was taken, but the fact ap.
peared that all, except about six members Of
the party, will support the government.
LONDON, April, &c.
The Standards Berlin correspondent de-
clares that, although semi-oficial journals re-
present that President Delbriok retired on
account of his health, it is we'll known in re-
liable quarters that he resigned because he
was unable to give his support to Prince Bis :
marck's railway scheme, fearing its financial
results. His withdrawal will make the Organi-
cation of a new Imperial Ministry unavoidable.
Information comes from a trustworthy source
that President c.. Hoffman,, now chief of the
Ministry of the Grand Duchy of Hesse, will
succeed Herr DelbrUok.
The Times despatch from Berlin announces
that the Baron Won Friesen. President Of the
Ministry and Minister of Foreign Affairs and
Finance of Saxony, has resigned.
1t is stated that the cause of lis resignation
was his opposition to the railway purchase.
DOMPEDR0 IN CALIFORNIA.
SAN Francisco, April, 25.
The Emperor of Brazil and party arrived
this evening at Pleasanton, forty miles from
the city, where his car was detached from the
train, put behind another engine and rushed
over the road half an hour ahead of the over
land train.
The object was to avoid any demonstration
on his arrival and was q perfect success. The
party passed through Oakland without attract
ing attention, crossed the Bay, and, arriving
at the wharf, took carriages to the Palace
Hotel, which they entered without half a
dozen people knowing of their arrival. On
the arrival of the regular train at Oakland a
great crowd was in attendance, with bands
playing and colors flying, while Dom Pedro
was already ensconced in his apartments at the
Palace Hotel. Seats had been engaged by
telegraph for the party tonight to hear Gill
more's orchestra at the Mechanics Pavilion.
On the arrival of the train at Sacramento
the Emperor's party hastily examined the
workshops of the Central Pacific Railroad, and
expressed regret al the briefness Of their In
s~pection.
The party will remain 10 this city four or
five days, and will then proceed to other points
of interest.

instructions for the purpose of dissuading the
Porte from taking the offensive.
Germany, Austria, France and Italy have
already acquiesced, and there is every reason
to expect that England, in this most dangerous
crisis, will acquiesce also.
Already advices from Oonstantinople are
more favorable.
The Sultan has instructed his Foreign Min
lister emphatica.ly to disayow any aggressive
intentions and to give assurance that the
military movements in Albania are only de-

LONDON, April 25.
It is officially reported from Mostar that
Mukhtar Pacha has revictualled Piva and re-
turned to Gatschko without encOuntering the
insurgents.
LONDON, April 90.
The Ragusa correspondent of the Times
telegraphs that from the 18th to the 18th
inst. Mukhtar Pacha lost 1880 men killed,
wounded and sick.
The insurgent chief, Sosioa, writes that 800
Turks have been decapitated and fifty in-
surgents killed and wounded.
LONDON, April &c.
The Paris correspondent of the Times says
he has received the following information from
sources worthy OF respect -
"Russia's distrust of armed intervention by
Austria having been removed by the influence
of Germany and other Powers, a plan is on
tae point Of being adopted according to which
Austria is to occDpy HERZEGOVINA, Bukowiua
and Bosnia, and impose a complete separation
of Turkey from the Christian provinces, the
foregoing, together with Montenegro and Ser
via, becoming independent States, interposed
between Turkey and the remainder of Europe"
The correspondent adds that he has doubts
about the above intelligence, although the
source is good.
A despatch to the Russian Telegraphio
Agency says the difficulty at present is to
obtain an armistice of from four 10 six weeks,
during which Montenegro can r~evictual Nicsio.
The Turkish authorities are communicating
with the i%nsurgent chiefs relative to guarantees
for reforms. Without an armistice solution Of
the crisis is impossible.
ABYSSINIA.
LONDON, April is.
The Alexandria (Egyp0 correspondent of
the Times in a letter dated at that city April s.
says -
II stated in 2 former letter that the truce
arranged between the Egyptians and the
Abyssinians after the battle of Gourra had
been broken. There has now been further
fighting, and it was at first stated that the
result was 50 much in favor of Egypt that
King John gladly resumed pacific negotia-
tons.
But now it is generally alleged that the
Egyptian army is in great difficulties that
King John demands the Abandonment of the
country and the cession Of Massowah, and that
Egypt will do we'll to consent to these terms.
AS the Hamaseen IS Egyptian territory, and
MassOwah the port of communication with it,
these demands necessarily imply the abandon
ment of that province; and further fighting
will probably be preferred to such an adj
mission of superiority.

PARIS, April 25th.
The grand musical festival, organized by
the members Of the Franco American Union In
aid Of the fund for the erection of the statue Of
Liberty in New York Harbor to commemorate
the American Centennial, came off tonight at
the Grand Opera.
The audience was a brilliant one, consisting
of many distinguished persons and the elite Of
Partisan society. Among those present were
Minister Washburne and all the members of
his Legation, NM. WaddingtOn, Oscar de
Lafayette, Rochambeau and De Tocqueville.
The American colony was very fully repre-,
sented.
The opening was p~refaced by the delivery
of an admirable address by NJ, Laboulaye, in
the course of which he announced that the
Municipal Council of Paris had contributed
So, 900 in aid of the undertaking.
He described the position of France and
America in 1875, and reviewed the events
leading to the Revolution. He said the pro-
cIamation of American independence was the
introduction of free republican government in
the modern world, and he pointed out the part
taken by the French nobility in the achieve
ment of American liberty, and concluded as
follows -
"The proposed monument symbOlizes
American freedom, which bears peace and
enlightenment everywhere. 1t will be an
eternal monument of the friendship of France
and America, ever recalling the united names
