The Russian understanding of the protocol
as expressed by the leading newspapers is
about this: If Turkey accepts the terms and
proceeds with the reforms peace is assured !;
Turkey will not accept the terms, and If she
did would not faithfully carry them out; the
powers are pledged to sustain Russia in en-
forcing its demands; therefore the protocol is
simply an alliance of the powers to compel
the Porte to certain line OF policy.

DIR. Gould on Temperance.

Doctor Gould, Of Argos, delivered
the speech at the temperance
meeting on Saturday night. 1t Is
pronounced the best temperance
speech that has yet been delivered
here. We have not heard many
others but we think the Doctor made
most interesting and able speech.
We do not remember to have heard
any man in speaking on the subject
so clearly elucidate the effect oil
alcohol on the physical, mental and
moral system Of mankind. BE
showed In plain logical speech that
alcohol broke down the nervous
system, and made physical wrecks oil
men; it ruined them mentally and
morally, and consequently spiritually
His address was clear, pointed and
convincing, and must be the means
of doing much good. The Doctor
was In bad trim for a speech, In his
own opinion, but his speech was
highly satisfactory, to those who
heard him and this should satisfy
him. He has agreed to deliver {
lecture on that subject, which he ha.
taken some pains to prepare, at al
early day and this will be a mos
profitable occasion we doubt not.

there was no murmuring, and hardly
an illusion to her distress except In
answer to her physician or friends,
Though of a modest and retiring
disposition, her long residence In
this place when 1t was much smaller
than now, made her to be we'll known
in its highest social circle. Her nature
rather than her circumstances asso'
ciated her with all who contributed
by their presence and effort to the
good Of society. 1t was felt that she
was wanted in all gatherings for mu-

poses She was true friend to the

him in his new residence Monday
night in the shape Of a surprise par
ty. They had provided themselves
with present consisting Of hand
some easy chair, foot rest, etc., which
Doctor Reynolds presented In his
usual eloquent manner, delivering
quite speech. Mr.. Thompson was
considerably surprised, and the evil
dent kind attention of his friends was
almost overpowering. He assured
them that IL he lacked anything In
his expression OF thanks, 1t was not
because he was not thankful, but
because he could not command
words to express his feelings. It was
a most happy occasion, and this ex-
preston of good will by our citizens
is the more appropriate, because OF
the generous and wholesouled char
acter OF the man to whom the ex-
preston was rendered.

Her disease, consumption and that
OF a bronchial nature, from which
she suffered for a long time-her
health at times seeming to improve,
made it difficult for her to believe
and for friends to tell that she would
soon die. Near the last OF October
in reply to the question whether
she did not think death as prOba-
BILE as Improvement in health" she
said, "her failing strength told her
that there was scarcely any hope OF
getting WELL" She also said tina.
she had cherished a feeble hope in
Christ for some time. From this to
her death her friends talked freely
with her regarding the future life,
reading to her from Gods word and
praying with her. Nov. Sth, she with
three members of her family received
the rite Of Christian baptism. About
seven clock Thursday evening she
requested that the service Of family
prayer might be at once as she was
