What Shall BE Done with Constanti-
nOplee

nOple!
It is sign of the times that in Germany
and England political speculation is busy
over schemes for the disposition of Constan-
tinople and Turkey in Europe which start
from the assumption that the present filthy
occupant is to be put out. Some progress
of opinion is implied in the fact that the
people who frame projects as to the future
of States view the Ottoman regime in Europe
as drawing toward its close. In London
the speculation takes into the case the re-
lations of the English and Russian royal
families by the marriage of the Duke of
Edinburgh 1t is proposed to found
Byzantine dynasty, on the throne of which
the Cars daughter would sit side by side
with the Queens son. 1t has been sort
of policy in Europe, though not very sue
cessful one, to set up thrones here and there
in odd corners and put German princes
on them as they tried to put Macmillan
on throne on this side of the Atlantic.
On the other side of the water these expert
ments do not end SO badly rs that one did !;
but the results are at best q kind of hot

the kind grown in the open air of national
conflicts. But in the candidates proposed
for this throne England and Russia would
have an almost equal interest, and they are
the parties that must be pleased before oil
Others In Munich, where the interest in
the fate of Constantinople is artistic and
philosophical, they propose q govern
ment by commission, under the joint
protectorate of the European governors. 1t
is not certain whether there is any ground
left for these speculations-whether they are
not all too late Some time ago Paris
paper published purported treaty between
Germany and Russia which touched the
point, and decided that in certain con-
tingency the powers of those two govern
ments should occupy the country, invite the
Sultan to go to Asia, and then determine be-
tween themselves the further facts. This
treaty was denied and the paper was fined for
publishing it. But the denial may after all
only have been diplomatic If Prussia and
Russia have really gone so far in their plans

ENGLISH HoHEoE AT TIVE BULGARIAN
butcheries is described in an article print
ed elsewhere in to-day's HERALD as being
the very reverse of sincere. Britannia makes
. tremendous outcry over butcheries which
ara believed to have been induced
by q feeling of confidence that, no
matter what was done TO the rebel
slays by their Ottoman rulers. England
would sustain the exercise of legitimate
authority. Now, however, when the sensi-
bilities of Christendom are shocked by the
details OF massacre and destruction furnished
IN Mr. Schuyler's official report, Englishmen
hold indignation meetings over the bleached
bones and ruined villages of the Bulgarians,
and generously resolve to stop this thing
when very few remain TO be murdered and
the ravaaed country is desolate.

Had Him Marked .

This story is told of the visit of
the Southern troops to Boston, last
June: One Of the South Carolina
soldiers was invited to the fremont
Club, and while there a gentleman
came in and was introduced to a
party. The Carolinian, who eyed
the gentleman from the moment he
entered the room, overheard his
name, Col. Joseph /. Baker, and
asked him if he did not command
the Fourth Massachusetts cavalry,
September Both, 1864, the day after
the battle of ChapIn-s Farm. The
colonel replied that he did. The
soldier said, raising his hat:a .sDO

charging on your pickets 2? at the

lect, and asked pleasantly whnt he

a Curious Marriage.


A curious fact in regard to The
marriage Of John Kemble, the actor,
is told in "Bannister's Memoirs"
One of the daughters of noble lord,
formerly holding high Office, but
then living in retirement, had fallen
in love with the graceful and snowy
actor merely from seeing him on the
stage. Kemble was sent for by the
father, and, to his astonishment, ac-
uuainted with the circumstances.
The noble lord told him further that
it was in his power TO do him either
/ a great evil or a great favor, aad
that il he. would do The latter, BY
relieving aim from all apprehension
Of the lady's ihdulging her .phantasy
and relieve him effectualIy by mar

might lave an attachment, his wife
should receive o dover of five thous-
and pounds. Kemble Immediately
proposed to Miss Brereton, q pretty
actress in the company, and the
marriage took place without delay,

New York H9rald.
The terms of twenty-five United
States Senators expire on the 18th Of
March, 1877. They are Messrs.
Goldthwaite of Alabama, Clayton Of
Arkansas. Salisbury of Delaware,
Norwood of Georgia, Logan of Hi
uois, Wright of Iowa, Harvey of
Kansas, Stevenson Of Kentucky,

Boutwell, Of Massachusetts, Ferry of

Frelinghuysen Of New Jersey. Ran
som of North Carolina. Kelley OF
Oregon, Anthony Of Rhode Island,
Robertson Of South Carolina. Cooper
of Tennessee. Hamilton of Texas,
Johnston Of Virginia, Davis of West
Virginia, and Howe of Wisconsin.
OF these nine are Democrats, who
will, without doubt. be succeeded by
Democrats Clayton, West, AIcorn
and Robertson, Republicans. will
almost certainly be replaced by
Democrats the vacancy now exist
ing in Louisiana will be iilled by a
Democrat. and Hamilton of Texas,
independent, has a Democratic sue
cessor. At the Senate now stands
forty two Republicans. twenty mime
! Democrats and two Independents,
the change above noted would if nc
Others were made, leave it very
nearly balanced-thirty eight Repub
licans, therty-fve Democrats and
one Independent. But the following
States also elect new senators this
winter: Illinois, Iowa, Kansas
Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan
Minnesota, Nebraska, New Hamp
shire, New Jersey, Rhode Island anc
/ Wisconsin. OF these. New Jersey
Wisconsin, and perhaps Michigan
are among the doubtful ones. /
two Of these should send Democrats
the Senate would stand thirty-si2
Republicans and thirty-seyen Demo
Gratis with one independent. /
viii be seen, therefore, that it is by
no means impossible that the mex
Senate shall have small Democrat

managers continue TO make arbitrar.
arrests in the South they will proba

He Had a vote 20 Sell.

Mr.. Humphrey, Of pleasant Street
looked upon the election, yesterday,
in purely financial light. He went
into a grocery store on Main Street,
and said to the proprietor:
YOU'RE Democrat, are your
/" am replied the proprietor.
.' Why ?"
"a barrel OF ten-dollar -four. eight
pounds of butter, four bushels of
corn and seven gallons of your best
molasses will induce me to vote for
Talbot" responded Dir. Humphrey,
| in business-like tone.
Z" You pick up your feet and skip"
said the store-keeper, Significantly,
and the would be trader in votes
picked up and skipped. He went
into dry goods store. and said to
the man behind the counter, in an
argumentative way:
!" Now don't you attempt to deny
it, for | am positive you're a Repab-
lican."
Well, what if [ amr' inquired
the store-keeper, in astonishment.
"Only this exclaimed Mr..
Humphrey "put me up sixteen
yards of cashmere, a good pair OF
all-wool blankets, thirty-two rolls OF
your best batting and twelve yards
of crash, and will enthusiastically
march up to the polls and deposit a
ballot for Selden Connor."
"You deposit yourself outside
that door in less than seven sec,
onds,'' shouted the store-keeper,
wrathfully, or you wont be able to
vote till eighteen hundred and nine
ty-six."
There was SO much earnestness
exhibited in this speech that Mr.
Humphrey got through the door
with great deal Of cordiality- He
was next seen on the Point, trying
to barter his suffrage for drink
failing in which, he explained to 1
woman. who was standing in door
that Tilden was q murderer of chill
dren, and that Hayes came from ne
gro parents and used 10 steal horses
for living.

A Lively American widow.

! tAsA Bd1Il0 n. vi courier.
There is great excitement in SO
eial circles over the announcement
of Lord Henry Gordon Lennox' s
forthcoming marriage to Mrs. Thos.
Hicks. the socially famous. beanti-
full, and wealthy widow of this city.
Her friends say they knew she would
make good match, and her enemies
or rivals, say they doubt the correct
ness of the engagement as reported.
Mrs. Hicks has home at 10 West
Fourteenth street. but she oscillates
between New York and London con-
tinually. In both cities she has
given entertainments of surpassing
magnificence, her 5000 dinner par
ty to Lord Houghton here last sea-
son being well remembered. Mrs.
Hicks is of excellent family, very
accomplished, and has a cultivated
taste for literature and literary peo-
pie. All the bright stars of the lit
erary world are on her visiting list,
and in London royal people are new
er slow to accept her Invitations.
Twas she who declined to give up
her rooms to the Queen of Holland
at a London hotel unless the Queen
accepted them at her courtesy.
This the exalted lady of the Hague
declined to do. Mrs. Hicks declin-
ed TO vacate on any terms. and so
the Qaeen went without her favorite'
rooms and found accommodations
elsewhere. Unlike some other
wealthy widows, Mrs. Hicks is very
generous, liberal and lavish with her
money She spends $4,000 an
nuatly, and the poor get consider
able portion of this amount. Her
beauty is really,remarkable. and her
toilettes, all of foreign maaafaeture.
are maryels of elegance, taste and
style. Mrs. Hicks is now in Lon.
don, and the gossips have it that
she will become the wife of Lord
Lennox in November.
