PUBLIC opinion in Russia is not altogether
favorable TO war with Turkey. There is
serious embarrassment in financial affairs,
governmental and commercial. Failures are
constantly occurring in. the business centres
and the government is hampered to such
degree by the heavy deficits of the last few
years that il will be obliged in the event of
war to contract a very large loan in foreign
markets. The national credit is so much
impaired that further loans can be negotiated
only at oppressively high rates. The United
States have become such large exporters and
producers of grain that this staple article of
Russian export no longer commands the
price and sale it formerly did. A war between
Turkey and Russia, and the shutting up of
the Black Sea ports, would throw the greater
part of the grain trade into the hands of the
United States, and cause universal bank
ruptcy in Southern Russia.

THERE seems at last reasonable probable
ity that Cleopatra's Needle, which was given
by Mehemet Ali to the British Government,
and which has remained so long on the shore
at Alexandra, will, before many months are
over, be set up in London. An engineer
who has devoted much attention to the SUBJ
ject says, that by carefully swathing the
monolith in kind of sacking and covering it
with wood in rounded shape, it could be
rolled into barge and then towed to the
Thames. Once there, however, the still
further and greater difficulty of erecting it
has to be encountered. The erection of the
obelisk in the Place de Ia Concorde at Paris
cost $40O, 1000; and it is the enormous exper Sc
involved in dealing with this still larger and
more interesting monolith which has hitherto
deferred the British Government from at
tempting the enterprise. The engineer whose
plan is now 10 be tried maintains, however,
that the whole thing can be done, and the
obelisk put up safely in the place to be pro.
vided for it at the end of Northumberland
avenue at cost of about $35, 900.

THE report of the Senate Florida commit
tee shows that the vote of the state belonged
to the Hayes electors, as it was declared. On
the face of the returns Hayes had a majority,
which he still retained under the recanvass
ordered by the supreme court in obedience to
the Tilden managers. The committees re-
port proceeds to argue that the vote must be
counted as legally cast and legally returned,
a proposition which would need no argument
had not the Democratic party, in the interest
of Tilden, adopted the remarkable doctrine
that the states have no rights which Congress
is bound to respect.

Getting Square.


The intention of manv OF the Southern
States to repudiate their debts has long been
manifest. Indeed in some cases the inten-
tion has already been carried into execution.
The only excuse heretofore given, when any
has been thought necessary, has been that
the States were too poor to discharge their
obligations. But the real reason for their
dishonesty is now stated to be desire to
"get square with the North" A North
Carolina paper has the frankness to state it.
The journal in question says that the ground
is taken by North Carolinians that the debt
of that State has already been discharged-in
negroes valued at thousand dollars each.
They hold that the North has taken Southern
property by freeing the slaves, that the South
has taken Northern property for her bonds,
and that the account is equal.
This excuse for dishonesty is not an un-
natural one. Spite of all protestations to the
contrary the South holds that emancipation
was an act of robbery, and that she ought to
be reimbursed for the loss of her slaves.
Since there seems to be no immediate way to
SOo 0iASSo pay hlCAG iOI LuC iOSJ CudGIelS Tue
Southern States have come to look upon the
claim as in the nature of an offset to the
claims held against them by Northern credi-
tors. As there is apparently no way to COM
pei payment of the bonds the repudating
states have the best of the situation.
The impudent claim demands serious at
tention because it shows that the South in
tends in some form or other to obtain from
the North an equivalent for Southern prop
erty lost dnring the war, and that if the
South and its allies ever get complete pos
session of the government some means will be
found to draw enough money out of the
Treasury to repay Southerners tenfold for
every rod of fence destroyed and for every
chicken that died of the pip during the civil
war

One of the most interesting topics before the
italian Parliament is the proposed modifca-
ton of the civil list, or expenses in the royal
household. The King once more asks for the
payment of ldebts amounting to $4,000, 900
francs, and for an addition of 100000 francs
to the present annual allowance, which is 12,-
100000. Several of the royal palaces are to be
given up to the government, and, If they can
not be turned to better account, offered at pub
lie sale. The principal one in the list, and
among the largest in the world, is that of Co
serta at Naples, which has 800 rooms and
marble staircase unsurpassed in the world.

HITHERTO Thurman and Bayard have
been not only the ranking but by far the
ablest Senators on the Democratic side. In
deed, they are almost the only Democrats
who have cut any considerable figure. But
with Lamar and Ben Hill coming in, the two
old leaders will not so entirely divide the
honors between themselves, and the prepon-
Democrats will tend to regain its ancient seat
in the South. That section viii rule the
Democratic party, as it did before the war.

THE Russian st Petersburg Gazette prints
a long article on ''The Lessons of History on
the Slavonic Question" The present histori-
cal epoch, it says, is that of the gathering to.
gether of small political communities into
large States, in accordance with afinities of
nationality or race. Germany and Italy pro-
NOTED the cause of national unity long ago
and the union of Sweden, Norway and Den
mark is certain to be effected sooner or later.
Of the Slavonc nations, Russia has for GEN.
turies been acting in conformity with this
principle. The small Russian principalities
have now been welded together into an en-
pire.but the process has not yet been extended
to the whole of the Slavonic countries. Yet
the Slavonic family is one of the most numer-
ous in Europe, and it cannot be made an ex-
ception to the principle of agglomeration
which is being carried out among the other
European races. "What," asks the writer,
sis the natural centre round which the mem
bers of the Slavonic family will have to be
gathered, not by bond Of violence and con-
quest, but of mutual sympathy ?" 1t has been
doSSIIcu IudG AuSbrld Is SUCH CoQLres Out
this is ridiculous paradox" Austria with
her predominant German and Magyar ele-
ments, can no more be said to possess any
attraction for the Slavs than Turkey,
"though both profess to have constitutions;
and Estates which are formed of different
nationalities are fated to dissolve" The rule
OF the Magyars over the Slavs will cease like
that of the Turks, being san anachronism re-
voting to humanity" The true representa-
tive of Slavism is Russia; her mission ''to-
protect her weaker brothers against the rule
of foreigners is clearly marked out by his
tory. "The present crisis" the writer adds,
sis especially important, not on account of
the approaching downfall of Turkey, but of
the intimate connection which exists between
the fortunes of that power and those of Aus
tria. The Eastern question should rather be
called the Austrian question; and its solution
is not to be found on the Bosphorus, but in
Central Europe"

Thanksgiving Day in Portland.

Contrary to the usual custom THANKSGIVING
Day was rainy and generally unpleasant ont of
doors. The day passed Oft very quietly and the
unpleasant weather prevented large attendance
at either the churches or places of amusement.
Services were held at St. Lukes Cathedral,
Chestnut street, and st. Lawrence street
churches, but no sermons preached Bishop
Neely gave brief address on the "Causes of
Thanksgiving" At High street churcn, Rey.
Mr.. Fem preached to congregation composed
of his own and several of the Congregational
parishes. Capt. Dutton conducted a praise
meeting at Union Hall in the afternoon. At
the First Parish church DR.. Hill preached an
excellent discourse, taking his text from ach-
ariah xiv, 16: "All nations shall go up from
year to year to worship the Lord and to keep
the feast of tabernacles. Many years ago he
had heard Isaac Lesser in the Hope of Israel
Synagogue in Philadelphia, preach from this
text, which be said was prophesy now 10 the
course of fulfilment. The Jewish preacher in
stanced Christians and Mahommetans as wor-
shippers of the God of Abraham, and adverted
to the growing influence of Unitarian writer's
in calliog back Christians from tritheism; he
also instanced the growing custom of an an
nual thanksgiving, which he declared to bs
Identical with the feast of Tabernacles. Since
that sermon was preached the President of the
United States had by his proclamation made
tne Gay still more universally observed When
the prophesy of Zachariah was uttered there
seemed to be no hope that the various nations
would unite in thanksgiving to one God and
and rather of all. Many deemed it impossible
tor men to come to any unity of theological
belief. but DR.. Hill thought that certainty of
Knowledge and uniformity of belief would,
through the influence of scientific study, grad
ually creep upward and finally include much
religious opinion. The heart is wiser than the
the head and is won't to tell man more than
he can learn from all the watchmen that peer
out from bis eyes and ears. In like manner in
religion, the sentiments of awe and veneration,
OF obligation to daty, of gratitude for blessings
lead us to give thanks; and we need not fear
that these sentiments lead US astray; or that
the Thanksgiving when sincere, is not accept
able. The preacher alluded to some reasons
why Christian believer had particular cause
Tor gratitude because in the gospel, the divine
attribute of love was made SO prominent, and
the words of our Lord Jesus Christ were in
varia0ly such words of comfort and of good
cheer, for every one except the self-lighteous,
the proud, the haughty, the malicious the
hardhearted and cruel

vor Of DR.. Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, as cure for
Consumption far exceeds all that can be brought to

DR.. Schenck's Almanac, which can be had of any
Druggist free of charge, containing the certificates of
many persons Of the highest respectabiity who have
been restored to health after being pronounced in

schenck's Pulmonic Syrup alone has cured many,
as these evidences will show but the cure is often
promoted by the employment of two other remedies
which DR.. Schenck provides for the purpose. These
additional remedies are Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic
and Mandrake Pills By the timely use of these
medicines, according to directions DR.. Schenck GER
titles that most any case OF Consumption may be
cured. Every moment of delay makes your cure
more difficult, and all depends on the judicous
choice of remedy. Schencks Mandrake Pills are an
agreeable and safe cure for Consumption caused by
biliousness, and also for sallow complexion and
coated tongue. There is no better remedy for dis
ordered stomach and all the evils resulting there
from. DR.. Schenck is professionally at his principal
office, corner Sixth and Arch Streets, Philadelphia

addressed.

THE GRAND TRUNK AccIDENT.-The coils.
ion upon the Grand Trunk one mile below
Grafton, Tuesday night, already reported in
this paper, was one Of the most remarkable es-
capes from loss of life of all on board both
trains. The trains met on a curve, the up train
j Andrews engineer, going at good rate of
speed, and the down train, A. Cabana epgi.
neer, put out of the station moving slowly.
The lights were discovered barely in season for
the men on both engines to jump which they
did, meeting with no serious injury. Conduc-
tors hobbs and Burnham with their brakemen
in the van at the rear of each train W ere COZ
siderably shaken up but not injured, some of
them jumping off, others remaining on, the
length of the trains breaking the force of the
concussion sufficient so as not to throw the 1eer
end from the track. p. Foley, breakman on
Hobbs train, was upon the top of box car
near the engine and fearing to jump stuck to
the car which was thrown completely upon
the car forward, leaving him upon the top of
the two and in safety. Being asked if he was
not frightened, he replied: "Not then, but
have been ever since when 1 think of what
passed through" Two Frenc hmen were in
car loaded with potatoes, having stove and
fire and shut it, The car was completely
wrecked, the tender of the engine breaking
through one end and being crowded half way
through the car jammed Frenchmen, potatoes,
stove and everything all together in the other
end, the men only being relieved and saved
from suffocation by the car being opened and
the potatoes run out AS it was, one of them
had his leg badly bruised by the stove being
thrown upon it, and holding him until help
came to his relief. The other was not seriously
hurt. There are various statements as to the
cause of the accident, the probability being
that it was the fault of the operator either at
Milan or Island Pond. No blame is attached
to those having the trains in charge. The dam
age to the company is very large, and cannot
be1ess than $12 900 in the judgment Of those
best qualified to judge. The whole road bed
upon this division is in excellent condition and
everything was favorable for a successful oper-
alton for the winter. The public will regret
very much this and any accident which Injuries

accidents there is so very little loss of life,
