ENGLANn is clearly at the bottom of
the war that is about to be precipita
ted upon Europe, and she goes into
the contest almost single handed and
alone. The gallan;ry Of the little isl
and in boarding the Russian bear in
his den must command the admiration
OF the world, and We can only hope
that in the end the British lion will
come out Of the fight with bis glory
undimmed. This war means the
domination Of Europe and the nations
who now measure swords contend for
the mastery Of the world. The friends
of despotism will naturally side with
Russia, as the embodiment of brute
force. The friends of liberty and pro
gress will just as naturally range on
the side of England, who in this strug
gle is emphatically the representative
of freedom.

THE will of 4. T. Stewart is to be
contested. No less ;han sixteen per
sons, forgotten in the original bequests
and not even remembered in the
codiciIs, claim ties of consanguinity

he has relative living. 1t would

less, could have passed without li,ica.

1t is rather singular tina: Mr.. Stewart
forgot them in his legacies. But per-
haps 1t was his intention they should
be overlooked. No matter for that.
Waving all considerations of modesty
they have determined to put in for a
slice,' and though they may never
receive 1t, the lawyers are Hkelw to
reap rich hayest from the contest.

BLAINE.-The ghost that follows

him. Innocent or guilty, he has been
dogged so long that people will con>

ily, but il is like moving thistles in
June. No sooner is one rumor cut to
the root than another springs into
life. The old adage, that where there
is so much smoke there must be some
fire, will be cited against him. Why
is Blaine thus set upon ? Morton, with
one vigorous shake, cast his enemies
to the ground and stood stronger for
the effort. Brisiow has made scandal

PRESBYTERIAN UNITY.-The long ex-
listing breach between The Presbyteri-
an churches of the North and South
has at length been satisfactorily
closed, and both branches are again
united in the bonds of fraternal friend

and augurs well for the re establish
ment of complete union in political
sentiment as well as IN religious faith
between the lands of the blue and the
gray.

ENDORSED The late Republican
State convention of KentuekeY passed
a resolution endorsing Grants admin
istration! At first sight, this seems
almost incredible, but when it is re
collected that Mr.. Bristow is mem>

date for the succession,it does not seem
so wonderful. Under the circumstan-
ces, the convention could hardly have
done otherwise, unless it wanted or
couried The opposition or displeasure
of the President toward the dis,in
gulshed secretary. To make the sail
ing as smooth as possible for Mr.. Bris
tow the convention adopted the wise
plan Of complimenting the present ad-
ministraition, although it felt in the
heart that SO bad one never before
dIsgraeed the annals OF the country.

The GREAT POWERS are sending
powerful fleets to the Mediterranean
in anticipation Of serious complica
tions growing out Of the trouble in Tur-
key England will be represented by
large squadron, and the Duke OF
Edinburgh has just sailed from Spit
head for Greek waters in command of
one Of the fiueSt iron clads Of Her
Majesty's Navy. Germany has four
ships of war en- Uoydge for the East,
and France is already represented in
"rhe lideless Aegean" by considera
bIe naval force. Notwithstanding the
assurances that are daily exchanged
by European diplomati-ts regarding a
peaceful settlement Of The Turkish
difficulty, the aSsemblage Of fleets and
the quiet mobilization Of armies lead
US to think that "vi!lanOus saltpetre"
will have to be called into requisitiOn
after all, and that guns instead o!

Independence.

Frequently we hear farmers complain of their lot, but if they knew when they were well off they would not do SD. Any man who owns q farm and is out of debt, is the most independent of men. Hard times" la no pow
 CT to chill his feeling or cast a shadow across his heart; he can at all times have employment, and need not bow or cringe to any master; never need he be the slav: of any one. Dealing with nature and natures God How dienitied and ennobling the avo- cation in its character; and should be considered, as 1t really is, the highest and most satislac
 tory business man can engage ln. But a farmer may not always ac- euire wealth, but ae is sure of q competence. To the careworn, brain worked business man, there is nothing that looks so peaceful and enchanting as a well regula- ted farm. It looks to him like a haven of rest, where the coroding cares and life fe-sapping anxieties of a city lite are unknown; a do- main over which the farmer is king, and where he may enforce his will, undisputed by any one.

What Farmers should do for

1 e their Boys.
 If farmers would study their sons tastes more, and would strive to make them take an in terest in farming when they are are twelve OF fourteen years old; first by taking agricultural papers and by giving them stock and land of their own. A calt, a colt, or sheep given to q twelve year old boy is one of the best invest ments father can make, because | it gives the child an rdca of own ership, and a plot of ground
 where he can raise strawberries, melons or anything he pIeases at taches his heart to the farm.
 ! Teach your boys to plant, prune graf, bud and carry to market all ] the fruits your farm can raise, at the same time let them eat all
 they desire of it, and you will not hear of them wanting to leave the old homestead when they are of age. You must satis 1 fy tine longings of boys before you can force them to accept the toll of farming. You must show the elements of success ill agricul- ture, and that by care and atten- tion it can be made to pay we'll quite as well as storekeeping and the like-before you eau convince them that the farmers fife is the most independent ana happiest under the ln. lou must en- courage your boys by every means in your power to love the old homestead, and think it the best and brightes spot upon the earth, then you may have no fear of 1 their leaving the farm.-EX.
