England Hopeful.

LONDON, November 20.-Mr. Cross, home
secretary, at a banquet in Birmingham last
night, spoke very hopefully in regard to the
present aspect of the eastern question. He
said all the cabinets of Europe considered the
conference to be the means of settling the
difficulty. He thought the conference would
probably meet before the end of the week.
He declared the time had come when the
waste paper currency of Turkish promises
should be paid in sterling coin.

COnkIIng's Views.
New York World, 18TH

Senator Conkling, whom | met yesterday
on the train from New York to Utica, is fast
regaining his vigorous health. He Is far from
disposed to talk politics for publication, and
upon the subject of proposed change III the
method of electing President of the United
States he was decidedly reticent. The matter,
he very properly said, might require his voice
in the senate, and he was not prepared, Just
now, to deal with ii as an abstract question.
Upon one point he made this suggestion:
"It Is an error, he said in effect, ''tO ascrbe
whatever faults or evils may exist in the pro-
cess of returning electoral votes from the
several States, simply and solely to the pres
ent electoral system. Under any other sys-
tenn there would be the same or greater diff
Guilty in counting or returning the votes, and
an equal liability to mistakes. The machinery
of elections in each State is left to be fashioned
by the State. 1t is difficult to see how rem
edy-assuming that there are evils in any
State could be directly provided by con-
gress."
Upon the suggestion that the critical ques-
ton, "Who is elected President?' might be
transferred from the States to be settled at
the capitol, and that the obscurites of the
constitutional provision for the election Of
President and Nice-President needed light,
Senator Conkling remarked: ''lf those who
prepared that provision did not fOresee the
changes that have occurred, and did not ar
range for the exigencies we have TO deal With,
then by barity of reasoning, If we now intro
duce a novelty, We had best take heed what
we are doing. To cure the defects of the ex,
isting system, that Is the better task.

Rollins, the Johannesburg bank
robber, is again at liberty. 1t will
be remembered that he, with his

in getting writ of error from the

iitteii's Living Age For 1877.
This standard periodical, now over
thirty-three years old, doubtless af-
fords the most comprehensive and,
all things considered, the cheapest
means of keeping well informed in
the best literature of the day. To
this fact, more generally recognized
every year, may be attributed its con-
tinued and increasing success.
The ablest living writers in science,
fiction history biography philosophy,
poetry. theology, politics, criticism
and art, are represented in its pages.
A list of some of them will be found
i'll the prospectus publishedin anoth-
er column, affoi ding a sufficient evil
dence of the quality of the magazine,
while / quantity OF readingi it is un-
approached by any other periodical.
1tis, in short, the only thorough
compilation of an Indispensable cur
rent Observation-Disclosures BILE be-
cause it embraces the work of the
foremost writers upon all topics of
living interest !; and as such, it's i'm
pOrtance aed convenience to every
American reader can hardly be over
estimated. 1t has always ranked as
chief among the eclectics ; it has alb
sorbed its competitor, "Ecery Sutur-
day." and i'll The multitude OF quar-
t%erlies, monthlies and weeklies, it
cal hardly be dispensed with by any
person OF family desiring d saLis,ac-
tory compendium OF whatever is of
immediate interest or permanent
value in the literary world.
For the new year an extra offer is
made to all new subscribers, and re-
duced clubbing rates with other Pc
riodicals are also given, by which a
subscriber is, at remarkably small
cost, put III possession of the cream
OF both home and foreign literature.
Our readers who are selecting their
periodicals for the year would do
well to examine the prospectus.
There can be hardly any other way
of obtaining so cheaply OF convent
emily SO much of the best work of
the best minds of the time.

John Reynolds, a young man of

went out hunting on Saturday last,

the road leading to Gerardstown,
they sat down under a tree along the
roadside to rest. While sitting
there, Reynolds, who had laid his
gun on the ground, reached it, TAX
ing hold of the muzzle, and pulled it
toward him. The hammer caught

I'm DrOced RefrtNer0tOTS,

A new refrigerator and water cooler has
come into the market, and superceds all
others. 1t is called the "Climax," and it is
claimed that it is the best ever offered to the
public. Is is constructed on true scientific
principles, at the same time being one ofthc
most practical, simple AMI common sense
refrigerator sever manufactured. One of its
principal features conists in the arrangement
of the ice chamber and water tank the latter
of which is so placed with refe, ence to the
former thus all the water dripping from
the ice is collected in the water tank serving
the double purpose of cooling the provision
chambers and supplying ice water for use ;
thus saving the cost of separate water
cooler, besides obviating the necessity Of a
drip pan under the refrigerator to catch the
drip, (as in the old style,) and the constant
dread of housekeepers lest it overflow and
soil the carpet.
The ice chamber and water cooler being
separated entirely from the provision cham
Der. Any articles placed in the latter can
not by any means affect the water, SO that
the ice when washed clean and placed in
the chamber produces only clear and sweet
water for the cooler.

A New Enemy to the Corn.

The Reading (Penn.) Tinass says: "a
new enemy to the growing crop of corn has
been discovered this spring, which is COM
hitting considerable destruction In some
sections of the county. It is peculiar
black worm which can scarcely be crushed
on the loose earth, as it is incased in suit
of armor difficult to break. They operate
in the corn hills by eating off the young
plants. AS many rs ten or twelve worms
are sometimes found in one hill. The cut
worm has hitherto been great annoyance
but this new pest is said to be even more
destructive. In some townships farmers
are busy repianting corn fields that have
been thus devastated. Paris green has been
found to be as eificacious in exterlninating
these worms as 1t Is in destroying the
potato bug. Powdered white hellebore IL
also saidto he very efilcacious." /"
