BALTIMORE, April IA.
Speculation in corn was increased
yesterday by the war rumors from
London, and orders from Chicago to
charter vessels for the shipment OF
grain. The sale of corn amounted to
nine hundred thousand bushels, the
largest ever sold in one day in this
market. Charters to ship corn to
Cork were made at an advance of nine
pence per quarter.

NEW YORK, April IA.
John McCulloch achieved a grand
success as Othello last night. The
Tribune says: In individuality OF this
act, or where he is unlike others, the
variety OF his art, whereby he is un-
like himself, and the rare and aston
ishing power he possesses to rise to
perfect equality, magnificent breadth
and force, we have not the least hesi-
tation in recording Mi. McCulloch's
Othello unequaled on the American
stage. 1t was more than a success, it
was a revelation.

GUREKA DAILY SENTINEL.
SUNDAY, APRI Is, 1877.
THE WAN

THE EUROPEAN WAR.
Our foreign advices still abound in
war talk. All of the authorities are
agreed as to the extreme gravity OF
the situation, which taken in connec.
ton with the unprecedented advance
in the price of breadstuM and the
heavy decline in the securities of the
Powers interested, as noted in cur
cable dispatches, leave scarcely any
room for doubt that the struggle will
be inaugurated in real earnest within
the next few days at the outside.
Turkey is, OF course, to be the under
dog in the fight, and will enlist SYM
pathy accordingly, but the moral
support of most Americans, we i'm
agine, will go out to Russians, who
proved themselves such fast friends
of the United States in our late
struggle. 1t does not appear that
there Is much cause for disturbing
the peace of all Europe at this par
ticular juncture. After all, the imme-
diate pretext SINNERS down to one of
dignity. All Of the Powers had
agreed to the rehabilitation of
the armies, which seemed in a
fair way of contamination, until
Russia dragged in a new feature
by demanding that Turkey should be
the first to lay down her arms. This
raised the ire of theSublime Porte, and
as a consequence the protocol was
summarily rejected. We really doubt
If the Gar in good faith desired peace.
With Linn it is to be a war of conquest
and aggrandizement, although the in
itiatory movements are %ostensibly in
the interest of certain reforms de-
manded on behalf of the Christians,
hitherto sadly neglected by the Sultan.
The real object, however, to he at
tanned, is an outlet OH the Meditter-
ranean. This is why Russia is forcing
the war, and this, too, is why the con-
test promises to involve the whole
continent. England cannot see her
Indian possessions threatened, and so
the Powers, one after another, are to
be dragged in until a continent shall
tremble with the shock of battle.
While we may regret to witness so Sc
rious a conflict, this Government is in
no way responsible for it. We are
strong and independent and can af-
ford to look on with indifference.
Europe's loss will be our gain.
Our commerce will flourish as never
before in our history. We shall supply
all parties with the munitions of war in
greatest abundance. No Government
ever went to war and maintained its
commerce at the same time, and so it is
i levitable that we are to have the carry
ing trade ofthree-quarters of the civiliz
ed world in addition to furnishing the
engines of destruction and the subsist-
ence Of the combatants. Every in
dustry 10 the United States will be
benefited by the contest, and even
away out here in remote Eureka we
may expect to receive greatly in
creased figures for lead.

Davy Crockett.

Last evening Mr.. Frank Mayo gave at Fanny
Marsh's Theatre his impersonatiou of "Davy
Crockett before large, appreciative and
thoroughly delighted audience. This charac-
terlzation, one of the most original and finish
ed which has ever been presented on the Amer.
lean stage, is not unfamiliar to Portland PEG.
pie though, if one may judge by attendance
alone, it failed on its former presentation here
to command that recognition to which its
great and remarkable merits enttle it, But
no complaint of faint appreciation could have
been made last evening. The house was large
and enthusiastic, Mr.. Mayo being repeatedly
called before the curtain.
The remarkable impersonation of the famous
hunter given by Mr. Mayo has gained in deli.
cacy and pathos by many renditions. The
rare promise of the earlier performances has
ripened into work of art in which
no flaw can be found, dramatic crea.
ton which is worthy to be ranked
with Mr.. Jefferson's exquisite CHI aracterizatiop
of RIP Van Wrinkle" Long practice and low
ing study have done away with those crudities
which at first characterized the performance
and a representation which from the start com.
manded admiration because of its dramatic
force, has come to be recognized as one of the
most finished, delicate and lovable of interpre-
tatons. The highest praise which can be ex-
tended to it is that it has gained in mellowness
of tone while it has lost nothing in strength.
The support was as good as that which is u.s.
ually given to star on the circuit, and was in
the chief parts the same as that when Mr., Mayo
was in Portland last season. The play will be
repeated until further notice. Those who ever
visit the theatre will miss the opportunity of
witnessing admirable acting should they neg.
