HOPEFUL VIEWS OF THE PROSPECT.
LONDON. Dec. 2O.-Berlin correspondent
says no immediate rupture is to be appre
hended. Vienna and Paris correspondents
take the same views of the situation. The
Paris man says everything tends to confirm
the report that Turkey simply demands
discussion on the various points of the pro-
gramme. Everybody is persuaded that,
while pressing the Porte to accept the pro.
gramme, all the members of the Conference
will allow its right to discuss and offer
objections on the condition Of accepting
beforehand the ultimate resolutions of the
majority Of the Powers. Vienna CORES
pondent thinks acceptance even of the
re endarmerie" scheme is not quite i'm
probable.
>AUsTRIA's POLICY.
LONDON, Dec. 29.-A despatch from
Vienna states that the principal result of
the great Cabinet meeting there on Thurs
day was the decision that special armaments
should not be undertaken by Austria or
Hungary even in the event of localized
war between Russia and Turkey.

LONDON, Dec. ga Belgrade despatch
says the Ristics Cabinet remains unchanged
NJ. Narinovitch having refused to form

peace, and Count Andrassy having promis-
ed not to insist on the dismissal of the
present Ministry.
THE PAIL NALL GAZETTE AGAIN SPEAKS.
LONDON, Dec. 29.-The Pail Mall Gazette
yesterday afternoon in a leading editorial
article said that probably word may be
spoken to-day which will be followed by
instant war, threatening to involve all
Europe sooner or later. If tho Powers de-
mand simple "yes" or "no," or if the
Porte, for military or other reasons, thinks
it expedient to 60 straight to the point
without delay, the answer will be refusal.
But 1t is more likely no direct or final an
swer will yet be given.

Jennie June's Letter to the Cincinnati
Commercial.
February is the month for balls and
entertainments of all sorts. Into its four
weeks and the two preceding are crowd
ed as much of gaiety, dressing and fash
ionable dissipation, as can very well be
contained in that space of time, and the
beginning of Lent finds society women
as thoroughly worn out and exhausted
BY the mere labor of seeing people, chang
ing their dresses, with the assistance of
mald, going from place to place, staying
up all nisht, and worrying over their
anxieties in the morning, as if they were
washer-womeu and had to 90 out daily
and earn their own and their chill tren's
bread and butter, or bread without butter.
For it is not all plain sailing; they have
to put their hands in their pocket every
moment, but do not always find the purse
of Fortunstus there Theycsn not change
their style of living; nor perhaps does 1t
seem really necessary that they should
do so, yet the effects Of the erich mans
panic" bears heavily upon them, the de-
mands are greater than ever, the income
much smaller, and the bills therefore very
grudgingiy paid by the head OF the house.
Hundreds OF apparently ricn women IN
New York, who ride in their carriages
and appear IN their boxes at ball and
opera, have not dollar of money in the
world TO expend as they please Still, If
the carriage is there, and the maid Is
there to dress their hair and arrange their
drspery properly, and if credit is good at
the large millinery and dry good houses,
there is not 50 much difficulty. The real
trials come to these who are obliged to
preserve an appearance of wealth on
means which are daily growing smaller
and more precsrious. Appearances to be
maintained. invitations accepted, and no
money for gloves, carriage hire, or new
shoes, no possibility of new dresses, or
even of freshening up the old ones with
plaitings, little ribbon and flowers.
Obliged to forego the pleasure of wear
ing even the pretty evening dress, which
was got late last winter, and stick to the
horrid old black silk, or worse still, aven-
cradle velvet, because pretty light even
ing dresses require pretty white shoes
and general care and delicacy in the
details of the toilette which, in the alb
sence of funds, It is impossible to bestow
upou them. Millions OF dollars and thou
sands of institutions are devoted to ameli-
Grating the condition of the very poor,
without much apparent result, tor the
poor will always be poor; but l think if
| were an Astor, or Rothchild, or
Lady Burdett-Coutts l should look for
the respectable poor and at unexpected
times drop in upon them with the help
which would lift them out of their dark
places.
