1t has hitherto been supposed TINT Con-
stantinoptu was the koy to tho Eastern quos-
t;on, md tint tho Power into whose ha,ltls
It shall ultimately fall would control tho
route to India. The English jealousy Of
ll,lssian aggrossivenesa has always been at
tributed To the fcar that sooner or later Con-
stantinoplo would be seized by Russia. III
every discussion OF tho Eastern question, mud
Of tho rnlations botwoen Servia aud Turkey
as ultimately affecting this question, this
element has been taken into consideration,
aud the probability Of war between Russia
aud England, not only in tho Immediate
present but in tho future, has been prodicatcd
upon tho Russian POSSESSION OF the Turkish

tint 1t Rrssia should seize Constautinopio,

thoso who have given this question any

upon the hunter at finding himself
surrounded by the long sought
buffalo is intense, and sometimes
renders him careless in examining
too closely whether the object fired
at is a buffalo or a buffalo-runner
mounted by a friend. But few
fatal accidents occur, however,
from the pell-mell rush and indis-
criminate firing; but it frequently
happens that guns, as the result of
hasty and careless loading, explode,
carrying away part of the hands
using them, and even the most ex-
pert runners sometimes find their
way into badger-holes, breaking or
dislocating the collar-bones of the
riders in the fall.
The Identification of the slain
animals is left till the run is over.
This is accomplished by means of
marked bullets, the locality in
which the buffalo lies-for which
the hunter always keep a sharp
lookout-and the spot where the
bullet entered. BY the time the
hunters begin to appear, returning
from the chase, there have arrived
long trains of carts from the camp
to carry back the meat and robes.
The animals having been identified,
the work of skinning and cutting
up is begun, in which the women
and children participate. In re-
markably brief time the plain is
shewed with skeletons stripped of
flesh, and the well loaded train is
on its return, Arrived at camp, the
robes are at once stretched upon a
framework fpoles, and the greater
part of the flesh scraped from them,
after which they are folded and
packed in the carts to receive the
final dressing in the settlement. OF
the meat, the choicest portions are
packed away without further care,
to be freighted home in a fresh state,
the cold at that late season effectu-
ally preserving it. Large quantities
are, however, converted into penn
mican, in which shape it finds its
readiest market.-H. N. Robinson.

Finally the demand for a change of
venue is made, but people who were
surprised over the neglect to make
such demand will now not be less
surprised to find that it is made in
the interest of Mr.. Beecher. This
looks exceedingly like an admission
that the name Of the great preach
er is no longer the tower of strength
it once was with the Brooklyn pub
lie, which, though even out of the
immediate circle of his pastoral or
personal influence, was proud of
him as a distinguished citizen,
whose great talents and influence
on opinion over the whole country
were parts Of the renown of their
city. Nobody at one time could
have believed that Mr.. Beecher
could not get justice in Brooklyn,
or even that his repute there would
not incline a doubtful balance in
his favor; and his request to try the
case elsewhere, therefore, seems the
admission of a great change.
Doubtless the change to Franklin
county would greatly increase the
expenses Of this trial; otherwise it
would be an advantage. Country
people have prepoSsessions in favor
Of preachers, as a general rule; but
a preacher accused of forgetting the
obligations Of his ministry can
never safely look for favor in the
rural districts.

A New PhaAe-Iusanity the Cnuse-

Ing Wife.

"PauIine'' Proves 20 be His Liv.
Ing Wife.
New York Herald.1
DR.. Ward, the county physician
4of Newark, yesterday received a
letter from DR.. Thayer, of Portland,
giving an entirely new complexion
to the story as already published of
the suicide of @. L. Avenstine at
Montrose last Saturday. In the
eloquent rhapsody he wrote just
before and after he swallowed the
dose of two deadly poisons Aven-
Stine guShed forth in touching Ian
guage regarding his burning anxiety
to be with his "beloved one," his
darling Pauline" on "the other
side Of the great mystery" This,
with the brief mention in Dr.
Thayer's telegram from Portland
that Avenstine's wife was there, led
to the general conclusion that he
(Avenstine) had sacrificed his life,
wife, friends and fortune for love
outside of wedlock. The letter re-
ceived yesterday corrects this idea,
and sets forth that Pauline is none
other than the lawfully welded wife
of the rash officer. 1t further sets
forth that Avenstine was not a
lieutenant commander, but simply
an apothecary on board the United
States sloop Monongahela. In Port
land the Monongahela was put out
Of commission some two months
ago. While there Avenstine be-
came enamored of Pauline, a we'll
connected young lady of Portland.
Upon being discharged from the
