The War in the East.

The tone of the press and the people
in countries bordering on the struggle
between Turkey and her provinces is be-
coming anxious and disturbed. Busi-
ness in Austria is almost at q standstill.
The Vienna journals call upon the Gov
ernment and upon Russia to put an end
to this contest, or great war will blaze
forth. The Sclayonic race is becoming
everywhere aroused and excited at the
wrongs suffered by their compatriots at
the hands of the Musselmans. The
Sclavs of Hungary are pouring supplies
and assistance in to aid those of Turkey.
Millions of gulden in value have been
thus forwarded and distributed. The
Sclavs of Russia are full of indig-
nation at the oppression and sufferings
of their fellow believers in Bosnia. The
Government can hardly restrain the
ardor of the people and in private,
great quantities of provisions and sup
plies are forwarded to the insurgents.
The Sclavs in Montenegro--the Black
Mountaineers-not content with shelter
ing thousands of refugees, are all in
arms and ready to throw their weight,
however small, into the balance of the
struggle. Never having been conquered
by all the power of the Ottoman En-
pire, they do not dread contest with it
in its present crippled condition yet the
whole population of the little principal
ity is only some 10000.
The position of Servia gives great
anxiety. Her army is almost in readi-
ness for a campaign. Peabody rifles
nm &c haty ~
introduced; loans have been placed,
and the whole country, with its more
than million of inhabitants, seems
about to throw itself into this struggle.
The German press is full of rumors that
Russia has thrown off disguise, and will
now support the demands of the insrlr-
gents. There are certainly many indi-
cations of this. For her to lose, as
Austria has done, her prestige as leader
of the Southern Sclavs would be fear
full blunder and all motives impel her
to assist the rebellion against Turkey.
The recent massacre at Salonica is the
first symptom of what has long been
expected-a fanatical outbreak of the
against the Christians, and the procla'
nation of Holy war;" 1t was under
this cry that the Turks in former ages
swept over Asia and parts of Europe
The appeal will be uttered again, and
for time we do not doubt that the
Turkish Empire will display consider
able force and overwhelm the insurgents
against its authority. But it will be the
last dying flames in old burnt-out EN-
bers. Fanaticism will only hasten the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the Empire. Tn,
Christian powers, under such 'Holy
war;" must interfere, and the fire O
fanaticism in Russia will burn ever
more intensely in return. Mohamme
danism has no vitality by which Turke,
can be saved.-NesO York Times.

TIE Two Websters.

When Mr.. Webster visited England,
after he had attained fame enough 10
precede him, an English gentleman took
him one day to see Lord Brougham.
That eminent Briton received our Dan
iel with such GOODNESS that he was glad
to get away and back to his rooms. The
friend who had taken him at once re-
turned to Lord Brougham in haste and
anger. -,
"My lord, how could you behave with
such unseemly rudeness and discourtesy
to SO great lawyer and statesman 1t
was insulting to him, and has filed me
with modification.
"Why, what ON earth have j done.
and whom have I been rude to e.
"To Daniel Webster, of the Senate of
the United States.
"Great Jupiter, what a blunder 1
thought it was that fellow Webster who
made dictionary and nearly ruined the
English language.
Then the great Chancellor quickly
hunted up the American Senator, and
having other tastes in common besides
law and politics, they made royal night
of it. - Editors Drat0er, IN Harper's

meeting Mr.. Merton accidentally, men
toned the circumstance, and the result,
of course, was Marks release.
So there is my story, and If it is not
artistically handled, why, 1 am an old
woman, as.I told you, and not used to
such things. To me the chief interest
centered in George, and if / have made
her the principal figure, and rather
slurred over Marks adventures, it is
partly for that reason and partly be-
cause, beyond the bare outline, we could
not get much out of him. He had suf-
fered too much, suppose, during his
incarceration to let his mind dwell upon
it willingly. Mrs. D'Arleton was never
traced; but whenever we take up paper
and read of a successful swindling opera
tion, we look at each other and wonder,
"What is she p
George and Mark are very happy, if
we may judge by appearances, and 1
think we may. Ida has outgrown her
suspicious, and Mark has forgiven her
for them, but the old glamour has gone
forever, which is very fortunate for all
concerned. And if Ida and young Som
erby should come to terms, why, 1 think
it will be a very good thing, for there
are no heights in the nature of either
after which the other must strain IN
vain.
So my task is done, and now can lay
down my pen and take my rest by the
hearth where we have sat, George and
1, so many times, and where we have
both dreamed our dreams-I of dark
ened past, she of darkened future.
We dream them no more; and if her
future is bright, 1 see beyond and above
a future for me which is bright with a
