Tie London Times on the Threatened War
The London Times has a strong pro-
Russian leader on the eastern question. II
first notices the slow nrOgress toward an
agreement about the conference, and its basis
of facts, which are clearly not promising for
its success, but declares that the worst symp-
tom is a disposition TO prescribe before hand
conditions incompatible with the idea of ne
gotiation and compromise. 1t cites as thus
inconsistent with the idea Of the conference
the stipulation that there must be no limita-
ton OF the sultan's sovereign VIII, but those
who labor for peace, it says, viii not lose
heart because the prospect IS not perfectly
clear. The Times cOndems the past British
policy, and saws: IF Austria and Great
Britain had known their interest last year
they would have arrested any extension OF
this difficulty by promoting what was then
comparatively easy settlement" IL then pro-
eeeds to forecast the future in this wise:
''Supposing this arnistice expires without
conference or the conference fails. The car
would declare war, disayowing, probably, a
desire t. add 10 Russian dOminiOns, or any
other object than securing good government
Tor his Sclavonic brethren. Many would say
this was mere hypocrisy and falsehOOd, but
il Is clear that England could not find pre-
tense for interference until much more had
happened than the outbreak OF such war Tor
such an avowed purpose. The article con-
eludes with an argument in favor Of confer
enee not committed to inevitable failure. 1t
believes that guarantees satisfactory to Russia
and probably TO Turkey may lie arranged.

NeedlewOrk in French Converts.


France, as every one well knows, is
pre-eminently the land of fine linen.
From child's pinafore to cardinal
surplice, every article of wearing APP
parel that linen can be turned into is
the object of the greatest care and
elaboration and few English women
quit French territory without providing
themselves with choice specimens of
French lingerie. To understand, how
ever, the enormous labor bestowed
upon that portion of female dress, it
is necessary to see trousseau in hand,
and TO see that it is necessary to enter
a convent. We enter, then, a large,
airy, whitewaShed room with cruel
fix over the mantlepiece and religious
notices painted on the walls. 1t has
large windows on each side, and sell
dom any kind of curtain to keep off
the dazzling light of midday summer.
Sitting on high benches without
backs are twenty, thirty, fifty girls, as
the case may be, of all ages, from four
and half to twenty-one, busily plying
their needles. At each end of the
room pTesides Sister, and her quaint
nuns garb is the only break in the
monotOny-a large bare, over-lighted
room, rows of little children and
young girls in white caps, blue checked
dresses and white aprons, who stitch
away silently, almost automatically,
while the bright Summer hours pass
by. AS we enter they rise, and re-
main standing while we inspect the
work. The Sister takes us from one
little needlewoman to another, proud
ly exhibiting the stitches or folds of
embroidery she has in hand. Their
garments are produced. and we gaze
in wonder, first at the elaborate piece
of needlework, and then at the feeble
looking workers who had produced it.
In one instance visitor and his little
girl were of the party, when the comic
and the pathetic were combind, the
Sister, with ingenious simplicity,
offering for his inspection articles of
female apparel generally supposed
mysterious to the other sex: while it
was touching to see the wistful look of
those orphan children--children did
we say t-of those living machines-at
the happy little girl who had for five
minutes quilted the world of sport and
sunshine and flowers for this dreary
room. These orphans are waits and
strays collected from Paris and the
neighboring county, and, inspecting
them narrowly, it was easy to see by
their weak eyes, narrow chests and
stopping shoulders how much their
unnatural life was telling upon a physi-
que already but too predisposed to
sickness and debility.

be benefited by the redemptive scheme
was to believe in Christ, be born of
the spirit, and live godly life,-gave
assurance that the universal salvation
of the whole human race was not true,
and that he had discarded the doc

mense, and the attention given showed
great interest in the discourses.
Whether DR.. Barry intends to sever
his connection with the church where

He having been pastor of the Univer

his old Pensioners were in attend
