Affairs in Eastern Europe.

To comprehend the kilograms which
reach us daily from London and Paris in
regard to the war in Eastern Europe, our
readers must bear in mind the great his
tOrical facts which lie behind them. I'M
portant events are doubtless near at hand
which may change the whole current of
history for that portion of Europe. 1t is
plain that things cannot continue long as
thev are, and there is an anxious under
tone of expectation through the business
world as to what this spring may bring
forth in the settlement of the long mOoted
&" Eastern question" A recent dispatch
has reported much excitement on the Paris
Bourse at the rumor that seven thousand
Montenegrins had Joined the insurgents,
and that Servia was mObilizing herarmy
To appreciate the significance of such ru-
mors our readers must remember that
historical Eastern Europe is like a plain
covered with drift deposit, from which
here and there an old granite peak arises
in indication of the earliest strata.
In the middle ages a considerable Scla-
vonic and christian kingdom occupied
the eastern provinces of Europe. The
great Turkish invasionso of the fourteenth
and fifteenth centuries covered these dis
tricts, and would have flowed disastrous
lv over all Europe but for the obstacles
there offered There remains now above
the level of the detritus and refuse left
by this great inundatian only oneOr two
of the old landmarks of the region. Mon
tenegro, the little country of the Black
Mountains, near the Adriatic, was never
fairly conquered by the Turks, and has
retained its independence. 1t formed a
barrier in the middle 9ges to the Turk
ish food, and still Obstructs it. The head
of this principality is, no doubt, in near
relation with the Russian government,
and throughout this rebellion the retu-
gees of Bosnia and Herzegovina have
taken refuge in its mountain fastnesses.
Many a Montenegrin soldier has, no
doubt, served among the insurgent chris
tians. 1t has probably required inces-
SAINT exertions by the prince to keep bis
subjects from marching in IOrce to drive
out their Iong-hated enemies andOppress-
ors from the territory of their kinsmen.
Another Survival " of ancient times is
the proyince of Free Servia.' This re-
gion has been overwhelmed and occupied
bv the Turks, but seventy years ago 1t was
substantially freed, and has only paid a
nominal tribute to the Porte since. Un-
der freedom it has made continual prog
ress, and its independence and advancing
prosperity are an unceasing model to all
the Sclavonic provinces of Turkey Of
what they could be and ought to be
Servia, moreover, possesses a remarkably
bold and warlike population, and car
turn out a considerable body of hardy
troops. She will naturally be The leader
of the provinces, if once they are made
free. Her government, poor as it is, i:
borrowing money freely topurchase arms
and to mobilize the army. Servia, Mon.
tenegro, and all these provinces, it should
be remembered, are animated with the
traditions and passions which have beer
transmitted by FIVE centuries of bloody
and bitter struggle with the Turks. The

registered deaths by 4O,139, and that the

THE PHENOMENA OF DEATH.
Under What circumstances the Final
Dissolution May be "a Pleasure.
Nov Nort Sun

DR.. Frederic z. Marvin gave the
library club last evening a physician
view of death, his subject being The
Physiology OF Death" The history Of
death embraces three periods, the fabu.
lous, the superstItiOus, and the philO-
! sophical. The fabulous was in mytho-
| logical times, in which death was per-
sOnifed as goddess Mors, the glance OF
whose eye was fatal; the superstitiOus
era was that long period in which death
was regarded as an instantaneous change;
a stroke that came and cut off life from
the whole body at once. Ours is the
philosophical age.
The lecturer had experimental on
dogs, to discover the order of time in
which the senses die. To one dog he
gave arseneous acid. The second died
instantly upon his introducing a needle
into the medulla oblongata; and the
third he bled to death. In the last, the
order of death was, sight, taste, smell,
hearing, touch; which established the
fact that senses disappeared in the same
order as they do in sleep.
The human body Is an aggregation of
cells. Life is the augmentation of these
cells; death their disintegration. Each
cell dies for itself Every moment cells
are springing into life. Every moment
cells are dying. Our bodies are COM
posed of these little points. Take them
away and there is nothing left of us but
the connecting shrcds. There are dead
cells in your body, and when you are
dead, there will for some time continue
to be living ones. We shall all at some
time be resolved into carbonic acid,
water, and the mineral elements.
The whole surface of our globe, said
the speaker. has been dug over one hun
dred aud twenty-eight times to bury its
dead, even not reckoning the long age Of
the world which is given it by modern
science, and we inhale, we feed upon
elements, the very atoms, that have been
living human beings before. The dead,
he continued, live again, and we greet
them in the perfume of the city, in the
thousand leaves of the forest.
Death, the doctor says, is painless.
There is no moment in cur lives in which
molecular death is not going on in us.
The last words of multitude of persons
indicate that mere disintegration is pain
less. To die of cold, after the first agony
is over, is luxury. so is drowning.
The smileOf death, the placidity of death,
comes to all features after the rigOr NOR
tiS. That is over in three days.

A Hotel Sunk in the Quicksands.

Considerable excitement was created
in East st. Louis yesterday morning, says
the St. Louis Journal, May 7, on the dis
covery that the Belleville House, two
story frame Just south o. the Pittsburgh
railroad and coal cOmpany's dyke, near
the southern limits of the city, had dis
appeared in quicksand. The circum-
stances connected with the unusual oc-
currence are about as follows: The house,
which is used as a hotel, was built on
piles, but few days before showed evi
dences of an inclination to sink into the
earth. On Thursday night it sunk about
two feet, but the proprietor, Mr.. F.
Decker, not apprehending anything seri-
Gus, paid very little attention to the
matter. On Friday night the guests
went to bed as usual, but at late hour
the clerk, Mr.. Geo. Huebner, discovered
that the premises were getting rather
unsettled and gave the alarm. Before
the inmates could realize what was going
on the building had sunk forty-eight
feet, carrying with it ten persons. After
considerable difficulty they were all res
cued, badly frightened but not hurt.

passions of to-day are no new feelings.
| They are the same fires which have been
kindled generation after generation In the
hearts of simple and freedom-lOving
people. Diplomacy can not possibly
| 0uench them. The old fire bursts forth
when Turkey is singularly weak. The
government seems at its last ebb in
| finance. The sultan is using his forced
loans for his own pleasures, and borrow
ing at thirty per cent. interest, while
the army are without pay and the ad-
ministration without income. No doubt
the Porte can awake the old Mohamme-
dan fanaticism. But that is a dangerous
implement. The Russian press already
report massacres of christians, and 1t
would need but a few occurrences of that
nature to kifdle fire in the Sclavonic
race which would destroy every vestige
of Turkish rule in Europe. All these
Sclavonic provinces, though closely
connected in sympathy and blood and
creed with the Russian people, yet rep
resent the south Sclavonians, and are
therefore not in entire harmony with the
Russian government.
Two powers are now silently playing
their game beneath the confusion which
covers the field. Russia supplies assur-
ance, sympathy, perhaps promises, and
will, no doubt, check all outside inter
ference, unless of the combined powers
Austria is forced to consider the Scla-
vonians at home, as well as those in this
province, and has sent a SclavOnian,
Baron Rodich, to induce the insurgents
to accept terms from the Porte, while she
is threatening Servia with armed inter
vention if the peace is broken. To Aus
tria, the eastern question is an intensely
vital one. She would gladly possess the
outlet of the Danube, but she can not
afford war, or any great discomfort among
her Sclavonic population. In the mean
time, passions are fermenting which nei-
ther Austrian nor Russian power can con-

Mr.. DONALD G.. MITCHELL, in re-
spending to the toast of " Agriculture"
mt the annual dinner of the New Haven
Chamber of commerce, said, among other
things, that agriculture did not lead to
such ofienses as Belknaps. He was of
the opinion that Belknap did not spring
from the plow. There had been too
much worship OF the golden calf in this
country; it was seen recently in the gap
ing crowds at Mr.. Stewards funeral.
Commerce had an object higher than
that of money-making. Kind deeds and
generosity, not spasmodic, but overflow
ing day by day, year after year, give a
better odor to mans memory than the
following after biers by ex-governors or
gold handles to cofiins,
