War or a Conference.

If the sultan's ministry rejects the terms proposed by the British govern ment and supported by all the other governments, says the New York Her. aid, war will follow-that is to say, the Turkish territory north of the Balkans will be occupied by the Russian army on the one hand and the Austrian army on the other. Russia will occupy Bulgaria and Austria Bosnia and Herzegovina. It seemed not long since that this move ment of armies would involve 8 general war; but the case is changed in that re- spect. Germany has declared that she will be neutral in any event between Russia and the Porte and has so inform ed both powers. England has informed the sultan that her interest in his for tunes will end with the rejection of her plan, and in war following such rejec- tion he would consequently be without her support. Either France or Italy could only be drawn into such war in the train of other powers. Therefore, instead of general war, it will be only an armed occupation, for before the troops of the two empires the sultan could oppose at best but a formal resist ance. This would be the result of his rejection of the proposal, and his ac- ceptance of it would lead almost inevit- ably to revolt of the Moalem popnla- tion. It would appear, therefore, that the sultan's position is not pleasant one, as it seems At first sight that the sultan must either accept or reject what is proposed. This, however, is not alto
 gether true. If the suggestion made some days since by Prince Gortschak off, of conference of ministers of foreign affairs, should be acted upon it would furnish way out of this difficulty. Putting himself in tho hands of such g conference the sultan would simply ac- cept the will of Europe, which would satisfy the powers, and the months that might elapse ere decision was reached would probably give time to cool the ir
 ritation iu Constantinople and certainly to concentrate there enough of the army to guarantee the government. -' 40

THE CHICAGO LEDGER is said to have spent $50, 900 in advertising the past two years. and by the looks of the newspa- pers throughout the United States, we should say it would take as much to go round this year. And to clap the climax the proprietcrs have announced their paper at $1. 0Oa year. How it is done is 8 mystery, unless they have more than Ga barrel of money" to give away. We be- lieve, however, it is the theory of the publishers that all they ask of the reader is to pay for the white paper and postage; for their labor, when the paper reaches 100, 900 or more circulation, their adver- Using will pay the profit. While. they are building up the paper they do not solicit advertising, and hence tbe read CTS get a great paper for $1.0O that is worth $500. As the publishers have the money, no doubt they will succeed. Address THE LEDGER, Chicago, Ill.,, in- closing $l.00 for subscription and tifte en cents for postage.-Chicago Times.

Twas the doomed man. He was tall
 and thin. He is stiff in his bearing, and
 walks very slowly. His haggard eye is
 fixed on the guillotine, which he sees for tue first time. His face seems to re- hect some object of an earthly, yellow
 color. One of the executioner's as-
 sistants removes the jacket from his shoulders. The upper part of his shirt
 has been cut off, and his bare breasttand Shoulders were visible. The executioner Seized him by the left arm-pit. An as- sistant executioner seized him by the right arm-pit. Another assistant pushed
 him him from behind. A third assistant went rapidly by us and stood near the yoke which keeps the head motionless.
 The doomed man tottereI as he came forward. He said to the assistant who pushed him "Not so fastl" but his voice was strangled,, for he had no saliva in his mouth. He reach the scaffold. It's vertical plank came nearly up to the hollow of his breast. The assistants pushed the plank, which from vertical became horizontal, tripped up the doomed man, who fell on it hori-
 Sontalls, his abdomen next the plank.
 He tried, to, rise by exerting knees and arms. He murnlured some lnartlculate words. The executioper and two as- sistants pushed him violently forward,
 so as to bring his head immediately un- der the yoke. The doomed man mur-
 have felt the sensation of person who falls down an abyss. Tn executioner Ebends forward to see if the neck isEin proper position. His assistant lets the yoke fall on the 6oomGd mans head. This yoke imprisons the head as if the yoke were in a wise. The doomed man
 must have felt this fall distinctly. It must be as if he were twice executed. All this took time. I counted my pulse; it beat four times while this was taking place. This is long. The executioner raised little lever. The knife fell. It could be followed as it fell. It attained it's greatest velocity only at the close of Ethe fall. The head bounced into 0 zinc box. It seemed to me I could see, as the knife fell with an indistinct rumble,
 the doomed mans soul take flight. The headless corpse is tossed by the as- sistants into the basket, where it lies on it's back. The executioner wheels on his right foot and turns his face toward us, his back, to the scaffold. He indi- cates by this final movement, which he never fails to make, that once the crimi- nal beheaded his part is at an end. The rest is his assistants business. One ot
 them shook the zinc box to make the head fall into the basket. I saw it roll oyer and over like ball in the bloody
 bran. l staggered and shut my eyes.

Loss and Gain.


 A story is told of two young misses, living at Murray Hill, New York, who went to the Centennial. They were ac- companled by their beaux and, on the grounds, they were so badly mixed in the crowd that they exchanged their escorts. Miss A. took Mir. B., who be- longed to Miss O., and the latter took MT. Mir. D wAo belonged to Miss A. They never met again in Philadelphia 1; and, when they an got back to New York, Miss A. liked MT. B. so we'll that she discarded MT. D., and the latter liked her so we'll in return, that he dis carded Miss o. So the net result is, that Miss A. and MT. E. are engaged and the other pair hate each other, and their respective rivals, and themselves, with an intensity of hate only girls of eighteen can understand.

The man or woman who has not heard of Merchants Gargling Oil is poorly posted indeed. Perhaps no article ever manufactured for the cure of man and beast, has done more good, or gained a wider celebrity, than this. It is sold the world over, and whereverit is used there is but one opinion in regard to it, and that is the highest man can bestow. For diseases ill cattle and horses it is invalua- ble. It is a linament that does up its work speedily and effectuslly, and leaves limb and body sound and healthy. Whole columns might be written in it's praise, without exhausting it's merits. It is manufactured at Lockport, N. ..Y., and is sold by all druggists. Pough- keeoSie (M. Y) Sunday Courier.
