The Seryian Plan of CAMPAIGN.

The Berlin correspondent of the
London Times says: Following is the Ser
Wan plan Of campaign, as far as discernable at
present: General T. e. Hernayeff, who COM
manded at Alexinatic, will engage the Turks
at Hitsch. Gen. Zach, who is in command in
the southwest, will meanwhile, with s., 900
men, force the passes into the Turkish prov
inces Of Old servia, and effect junction with
the main force OF Montenegrins, numbering
1900, at Prizrend. The prince of Monten-
egro, in order to cooperate in this movement,
had concentrated the great body Of his troops
opposite Podgoritza. The Servian army on
the river Drina, 10000 strong, under General
Allimpitz, will march on Visheriod; Serajevo,
with 1000 Montenegrins, will cooperate with
5,40O insurgents in Herzegovina.

This is often serious question with
the invalid. He finds the market flooded
with proprietary medicines, scores of which
are recommended as certain cures for his pc
culiar ailment. He reads the papers, circu-
lars, and almanacs, and finds each sustained
by plausible arguments setting forth its vir-
tues and specific action. The recommends
tons are as strong for one as for another
The cures claimed to have been wrought by
one are as wonderful as those claimed to have
been wrought by another. In his pefplexity
and doubt, the sufferer is sometimes led ia
reject all. But it should be borne in mind
that this condition Of things is one that can
not be remedied. In a land where all are free,
the good-the truly valuable-must come in.

In such case, perhaps the only absolute
proof that remedy is what it claims to be, is
to try it. The "test Of q pudding is the eat.
which is good" is the apostolic injunction.
There may, however, be stronger presump-
tive evidence in favor of one remedy than
there is in favor of another, and this should

this may save vast amount of experiment.

A Tardy Report Of Treasury Thieving.

A report called for by the House
shows an unexpected case of stealing from
the public crib, which should have been ex.
posed sixteen years ago. The statement
shows that besides the s37O,000 diverted by
Jacob Thompson, 81 5000, 900 in cash was
taken out by some Of Mr.. Thompson's prede-
cessors, and replaced by various kinds of
southern bonds, including 100000 in bonds
of the Tennessee turnpike company, and
others equally valueless. In other words,
while the law required that the funds should
he invested only in government bonds, these
unfaithful custodians took out million and
a half Of cash and put in nominally an equal
amount Of bonds upon which little or no in
terest has ever been paid, and which are now
almost, ii not absolutely, worthless.

THE TURKISH WAR-CLOUD,


From the Chicaso Tribune, 4th, " " . ). s...s.. =..
Servia has formally declared war
against the Turks. Little Montenegro
has promptly followed suit. The
armies OF the former, under their
Prince. have poured across the line in
three columns into the sympathizing
Sclavonic provinces of Bosnia and Bull
garia. The army of the latter, under
their Prince, have marched into Her
zegovina amidst the acclamations Of
the lnsurgent population. Servia will
assault the Turks with well-drilled
and excellently.armed force of 100000
troops, commanded in point of
fact by Russian officers. The Monten.
egrin army numbers about 20 600 men,
also led by Russian officers. There are
good many Austrian and German Of
hcers serving in both armies, and a
great number of Russian and Hunga-
rlan volunteer sharpshooters besides.
1t is q war of races and religion. The
Christians intend to impel or extermi.
nate their Turkish tyrants as fast as
they gain ground. The horrible op-
pressions, cruelties and inhumanities
OF four centuries are now to be
avenged in blood and expulsion, and
the ferocious barbarians will be driven
back into Asia, whence they came.
The soil which they confiscated from
the Christian population will be re-
covered as fast as the Mohammedans
are driven out of the country. The
hour has struck for freedom as we'll as
vengeance in that far but oppressed
land. The matt ions of Europe have
formed a ring around the combatants,
and will not interfere between the
Turks and the revolted Christians, ex-
cept to see fair play. The intention is
to let them fight it out. The sympa.
thies of the people of Europe, of
course, are on the side of the revolu-
tionists, and they will give them moral
support, money, medicines, powder,
and lead-men are not needed, as the
insurgents have them in plenty. The
London Times expresses the position
of Great Britain, viz:
''The Princes of Servia and MOnten-
egro have entered upon a great enter
prise, and must be allowed to fight it
out. We do not mean to say that if
their efforts proved so successful as to
cause complete breakup of the union
between the European Provinces and
Turkey we might not be constrained
to express our opinion as to the dis
tinction Of some one or two of them,
but these are remote contingencies,
the anticipation whereof would not
justify our interfering to restrain the
Princes. We hope and believe nobody
in England dreams of such inter.
ference. If the thought has been har.
bored anywhere, it must be dissipated
as soon as it assumes practical
shape.''
