LONDON, June LA special from vi

One thing seems pretty certain, that
for n reason or another, possibly for
several, q delay has occurred in the Rus
sian advance in Asia. 1t is possible
even that the necessity OF sending some
Of the reserve troops from Trars, Can

STA the Turks seem scarcely in a position
to take an advantage Of this delay. All
accounts from the spot agree that the
condition Of their forces is even worse
than generally believed. They are con.
siderably fewer than has been assumed,
and, with the exception of arms, lack
everything requisite for an army in the

any reserve Of the stock Of ammunition,
especially for artillery. It's impossible to
expect that all these shortcomings can be

Communion Wine.

Philadelphia Bulletin, May 2S.l
There is practical good sense in the
decision Of the Presbyterian General AS
sembly at Chicago against a resolution
prescribing the kind Of wine to be used
at the communion service in the
churches. The general assembly con-
6neG itself to a recommendation that
the purest wine attsinable be used, but
that the decision as to what kind should
be left to the sessions of the several
churches.
lntemperance as a vice or 3 disease
has not been very distinctly recognized
in the holy scriptures. We read, it is
true, that Moab, the original and most
famous cold water man, took to grape
culture and got shsmefully tipsy once on
his W wine. And there are many al.
%lusions in the New Testament to the use
Of wine that seem to recommend it. Bat,
so far as can be learned from the in.
spired writings, there we're no extensive
manufacturers of distilled liquors, no
public revenue of so much q gallon from
the makers, no whisky rings, or rum
shops, or gin mills, or sample rooms
in Jerusalem, and history omits them
from its account Of Greece aud Rome, as
it omits also any mention of lager beer,
and other malt liquors, the production
and sale OF which seem to make such an
important part of modern civilization.
But wine, taken in moderation, was
probably as generally used by the early
Christians, who we're people of pure
lives, as it is by many Of their degene-
rate successors in European countries.
Doubtless it was easy to get it pure, and
so its use had the highest sanction on
several holy and memorable occasions
in the Savior's history. Therei is no rea.
son TO suppose that the wine Of that day
was simple u%niermented grape juice, and
yet that is what the ultra.reformers al
Chicago would have prescribed for com,
munion purposes. Inasmnch as grapes
do not grow everywhere, aud as the juice
would net keep especially in trans.
portatien, but would ferment by the sim
pie processes Of nature, and thus develop
alcohol, in spite of all that could b
done, including voting against it in the
general assembly, it was to decide the
question as it has been decided ct Chi
cago. The true and wise reformers, who
want to check the production of liquors
do not begin their work at the com
munion table. They have the principles
Of true religion preached in theii
churches, and in these is oompretendeC
moderation in all things, including th,
use Of strong drinks.

General F~eatberston is, Of course, tie

the services rendered the State by this
distinguishes gentleman, deeming il a
work OF supererogation, for bis name

State. Governor Featherston was a
msster-spirit in the legislature for the
last two years, aud to his ability, energy
aud exertion, more than all else, is due
the removal of the last vestige of Rsdi.
ealism, which had hung for so long, like
a mighty incubus over our State, from
our land.
But for the impeachment of Ames, in.
augurated by him in the house of repre-
sentatives, Ames would, to day, have
been governor of the State Of Mississippi,
and Mississippi would be in the same
condition Of South Carolina and Louis.
lana, and the same scenes would have
occurred here that did occur in those
States. No man now holds Office in
Mississippi from Governor Stone up or
down who is not more indebted to Gen.
eral Featherston than any other man for
his officer 1t is true the legislature that
supported him in this movement against
Ames acted nobly and is entitled to great
credit, but he took the initiative, and had
the thing failed would have been cursed

the State. Houston is a well built
city, of fine society, philosophical
citizens and will always be an i'm
|portant place as a railroad center
and entrepot. We were astonished
to find that large ocean steamers
came up Buffalo bayou to receive
and discharge freights at a newly
built wharf within eight miles Of
the city. Through the courtesy Of
the superintendent of the railroad
built to Clinton last year, and of
Major A. II. Swanson, superintend-
ent of the Houston and Texas Cen
trail railroad since Morgan took con-
troll Of it, and Mr.. Robert NJ. Elgin,
land agent of the same road, and
other gentlemen, our party visited
Clinton and took a look at the inn
mense inland wharf, where over
400,0 900 bales of cotton, compressed
on the spot by the company, was
shipped last year. This gives
Galveston the go by, and was
occasioned by excessive wharfage
at that place. The dredging out
of this bayou, and building of
the wharf, cost two or three mil
lions of dollars, but the grand en-
terprise will pay. 1t makes Hous-
ton, an inland city, forty miles
from the bay, practically a seaport.
Bills Of lading are given direct to
New Orleans, New York, and other
ports, and gives Mr.. Morgan direct
communication through the heart
Of Texas. He is a marvellous old
man, eighty-three years old, yet
directing and keeping an eye over
all his vast business. He is master
of the situation south of the Texas
and Pacific railroad, and l hall
suspect that he is rather inimical
to that great enterprise. Possibly
this will not be expressed in open
opposition. J. II. NJ.
