NEWS OF THE WEEK.


Russian residents In Austria and Germany
who are liable to serve in the army have been
ordered home. The Black sea squadron is
ready to carry $4,000 men from the northern TO
the western shores OF the sea.
A dispatch from Oonstantinople says the fol-
lowing are the conditions on which the Porte
grants a six months arrnistce: That Servia
shall be prevented from occupying the posi-
tons now In possession of the Turkish army
that the introduction of arms and ammunition
into Servia and Montenegro be prohibited; thai
the passage of foreign volunteers into the
Turkish provinces be effectually put stop TO !;
that Servia and Montenegro be prohibited from
giving any assistance to the insurgents In ada
cent provinces. A Londen dispatch says Servla
rejects the proposed armistice. 1t is also an
nounoed that Russia viii not consent TO Dc
bound by the condition that she shall restrain
her people from going to Servia. Thus she
officially announces both her active sympathy
with Seryia, and her indispoeition to tolerate
further trifting ON Turkeys part. nf9t
The results Of incapacity and criminal reck-
Iessness on the part of the commanders OF the
Egyptian forces in Abyssinia are appalling.
Three times the invaders were ambushed and
DESTROYED. The number of those who persisted
in the first of these frightful blunders was
1000. The same number, out of total OF
6, 900, we're massacred in the second affair; and
then the AbyssiHians fell back to an interior
line of defense, and the Egyptian forces were
once more entrapped and slaughtered, the
number lost in this last disaster being con-
ceaIed by the Khedive's Government.
Five years is the term of imprisonment to
which Count Won Arnim has been sentenced,
for treason and an offense against the En-
peror and Bismarck. The imprisonment Is to
be in a common correctional prison, but before
the Chancellor can infiict this humiliation on
the Count il will be necessary to catch him.
At present els safe in Switzerland, and treason
and offenses against Bismarck are not extradit-
able crimes.
A cable dispatch informs us that the Rus
sian Government has determined to issue a
loan of 500, 900, 600 roubles. This, in connec-
ton with the Cars outspoken and undis-
guised sympathy for the Sclavic portion of the
population of the Turkish provinces, carries
with it a more pronounced flavor Of war than
has heretofore manifested itself in connection
with the Eastern difficulty.
telegram from Madrid states that the
Bishop of Minorea has issued new circular
enioining ON the masters of primary schools

TYPHOID FEVER.

An ounce OF Prevention Is Worth
Pound Of Cure-Some Seasonable Sug
gestions.
Some years ago, says the Christian
Union, there were terrible and fatal
cases of typhoid fever in a boarding
school in one of the most healthful por-
tons OF New England. The girls were
dispersed, but some were attacked after
reaching home, and some died. Of
course there was an investigation, and
the cause was found to be the foul air
from deep vaults of many years use, the
buildings over which were connected
with the house by long passage,
through which the deadly exhalations
steamed up at night and poisoned these
In the rooms rs they slept. It is not
easy to speak of it, but most of us know
the nature of these dreadful odors in
places where many people are gathered
together. Offenses of the same nature
exist near private houses. small country
homes-ancient Vaults made deep, for
all time. Sometimes these lie in such
direction as to poison the wells, and
there is no better agent for diffusing
this poison than water.
Another evil is defective drainage.
Dish-water, dirty water of all kinds, is
thrown in a certain place, perhaps out
at a certain window, and the vile odors
steam up at night from the reeking
ground. We have seen these places, or
even stone drains, within ten feet of the
well, and often they are above the well,
which must receive some of the drain
age. Now, these mischiefs are at work
at this moment in many place in
healthful New England as we'll as else
where and, where the surface is rocky
and abounds in basins, these become
full of the reeking, steaming fluids that
carry death in their train.
One thing we know better than we
once did-that fresh dry earth apsorbs
and nentralizes these poisons, SO that an
abundant supply thrown over any often
sive or suspicious spots will avert pres
ent danger. At the same time, the earth
SO used becomes a valuable fertilizer.
This is the present help, and quantities
could be thrown into these ancient
vaults which are such nuisance. Now
is the time, and it saves the expense of
so-called disinfectants.
The great work may be done in the
autumn (when all danger is past, and the
temptation is to forget it,. Then, when
the frost has killed all the noxious
germs of disease, comes time of pre-
caution. When things are freezing or
frozen, remove all these causes of
trouble, so filling and mingling with
fresh earth as to obtain the fertilizing
qualities scrape the places used for
drainage, and either see that the drains
are deep and away from the wells, SO that
all the waste is absorbed. Our New
England soil is not SO rich that we can
afford to waste any good material, and
all the waste from house is as valuable
as that from the stable, which is saved
with SO much care-except where it is
shiftlessly left out to be washed away
by the rain.
Shallow vaults or receptacles, with
fresh dry earth sprinkled on them every
few days, are the truly economical and
safe arrangements. It is some trouble
and requires system, but it is more
trouble to take care of a fever patient,
and it costs less than funeral.

Thirty years ago, English writer's
sometimes referred, in languageof dreary
foreboding, to the possible time in the
nations history when the kingdom would
fail to produce wheat enough to supply
the wants of its own people. 1t was de-
clared that, when the day should come
thaticould see other countries furnishing
food for Englishmen, that day those
other countries would hold the reins of
power over English necks. But the
years have rolled by, and Great Britain
hrds herself able to produce only about
one-thlrd the amount of wheat that will
feed her increased millions. The day
has come which, as the London Times
says, g a generation ago was prophesied
as the last page In the nations decline
and fall" But, during that generation
more advanced and perfect ideas of po-
litical economy have been made the basis
of commercial action. More cosmopoli-
tan notions of the relations existing be-
tween men and nations have obtained
the ascendency. To-day, one-third of
the wheat consumed in England is i'm
ported from America But the ships
that cross the ocean, grain-laden, return
bearing the fruit of English industry
and the skilled labor of English me-
chanics. In this increase in the great
national exchange system of the world is
to be found one of the surest guarantees
of peace and national friendships. The
broad fields of the new world clothe
themselves with wealth of golden har-
vests, while the nimble fingers of Eu-
ropes toiling millions turn out the arti-
cles of necessity or of luxury that are to
be exchanged for the ship-loads of grain.
And so nations learn that they depend
upon each other, and hence have duties
to each other. AS men sink their indi-
viduality in an earnest, honest recogni-
ton of their dependence on power out
side themselves and of their duties and
responsibilities toward others, they be-
come useful members of society, truly
patriotic citizens and men worthy the
confidence of their fellows. So with
nations. The progress of civilization
has led the people of different countries
to recognize to certain degree their
dependence on each other, and their du-
ties toward each other. And so England
can import her food, with no fear of ma
Gonal weakness or of national disgrace.
The more widely this principle is adopt
ed the more certainly will there be peace
on the earth.

bage, turnips, etc., prepared with but

once day /; the fatter kinds are the most
suitable. 4. Take neither acids nor al

grees. Milk, butter and sugar are very
fattening, but everybody cannot take
them with impunity, and to grow fat 1t
is essential that digestion be almost per-

Immigrants from Europe.

The Baltimore Bulletin says: Not
withstanding recent advices from Eu-
rope which indicate a large increase In
immigration from Germany and Great
Britain to the United States, the tide Of
immigration to Baltimore shows no dim
mutton from the results of last year and
former years. Information received
from reliable sources shows that the
North German Lloyd Line of steamers
are bringing over large numbers of i'm
migrants from Germany and Southern
Russia. Up to the present time their
line has brought over this year about
5000 persons. OF these, very few re-
NAMED in Baltimore and vicinity. They
were distributed via the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad to the West and North
west, viz, to Chicago, Milwaukee, st.
Paul, Omaha, Cincinnati, and st. Louis.
Everything indicates that the tide of
immigration will continue to flow to this
port at the same rate for the remainder
of the year, and should the present
financial depression in the United States
be replaced by brighter prospects. next
year, it is thought, will witness 9 large
increase In the business. 1t will thus
be seen that Baltimore is aggressively
pre- 1essive in this as well as other mat
tiers relating to her position as one of the
great ports of the world. There are
some interesting facts connected with
immigration travel to and from the city.
The immigrants arrive at Locust Point,
generally Ia good health, and are placed
on cars at the pier almost Immediately
after arriving, and start for their desti-
nation in the West. These immigrant !

was decorated by the King. So much
happiness in single day overwhelmed
him. He went sick to the house of a
friend at Puteaux, and uied there. He
was buried in Pere Lachaise. That was

that his remains were carried to Italy for
interment in his native city of Catania.
