The Alarm.
From the Pittsburgh Telegraph. ]


If the general peace of Europe is to
be disturbed, War Is, of course, nearer
now han it was a month ago, but there
is really nothing more alarming in the
attitude of Russia now than there was
then. In Let, Russia seems to have
pursued 4 strictly consistent course
from the -eginning of the troubles. 1t
is unguestIonable that Russian agents
had much to do both in exciting rebel
lion in the first place and then in instig
aiing Servia to declare War. All they
had TO do was to encourage the hope Of
success by assuring both the subjects
and the vassals Of Turkey that they
would not be left to fight their battles
alone.
1t is, however, by no means certain
/ that either the Gar or his immediste
counsellors exerted any direct influence
upon the emissaries who did the mis-
chief. These emissaries represented less
the Gar and his Cabinet than the great
mass of the Russian people, to whom
the dominion of Turks over their breth-
rem Of the same religion and race has
never ceased to be a scandal and an
abonination.
No doubt, the Gar and his cabinet
have been and are quite sincere in their
declaration, that they desire peace for
the present. In the FIRST place, they
dread the uncertainty Of War, and in
the second place, in SO far as the ag.
grandizement Of Russia by the extension
of boundaries through the dissolution o.
the Turkish empire in Europe is con
cerned, the Gar and his cabinet fee
that they can we'll afford TO wait II
truth, nothing could be better adapted
! to further their plans and purposes thar
/ the conditions of the last four or fiv'
: months, by which the entire Christian
: population of European Turkey hav,
p learned to watch Russia with the eve
deepening conviction that the Rnssian
D are their only trustworthy friends. A
Mr.. Gladstone, in his pamphlet, remarks
n that il the conviction by which in tn
D future Russia is most certainly destlne
to be strengthened.
But, while probably desiring peace,
:. is not to be supposed that the Gar an
f his cabinet have even for a moment los
o sight of the probability that, while the
: are waiting and seeking to keep tn
q peace, all their hopes, wishes and er
q deavors may be frustrated by the resolut
Il determination of the Russian peopl
ia not to rest until they shall have delive
i ed their brethren of the South frol
n Turkish thraldom. In that way ii
,e question seems at present to be fast dra!
n ging the Great Powers into conflict
N which not one of them really desires
o be engaged.

General Sherman's reception in San

An Interesting Relic.

/ read that relic Of the great FIRE of
London has been found at Eastcheap-
The fire Of 1866 ia said to have begun in
Pudding lane and ended at Pie corner,
and the identical spot where the conha.
grafton originated is pointed out by an
inscription on an old stone recently un-
Pudding lane. The inscription runs as
follows: "Here by ye Permission of
Heaven He'll broke loose upon this
Protestant Citye from the malicious
hearts of ye barbarous papi.ts by ye
hand of their agent Hubert, who confes-
sed and on We Ruines of this place de-
clared We Fact for which he was hanged
(vizt.) THAT here began that Dreadful
Fire which is described and perpetuated
on and by the neighbouring Pillar
Erected Ammo 1851 in the Mayoritie OF
Sir Patience Word, Kt." The stone was
found face dovnward-a proof that il
had remained undisturbed for two cen
turies. Some coins were near the stone
and probably Hubert's skeleton is moi
far off. The pillar referred to is, oi
course, the monument on Fish Street
Hill, on which the inscription accusing
the Roman Catholics, after being erased
and restored, was finally effsced in 1881
This stone, although now broken in hal
is of considerable historic interest anC
is certainly worthy Of preservation.-
