If we realize the violent character Of the
strain which exists at Constantinople, We shall
put little Or no faith 10 the suggestion of me-
diation between the Porte and Russia. ! There
is no authority at the capital to which, you
cHuId appeal with the belief that 1t could, even
if 1T would make peace. The Sultan. may or
may not dream his dream and see his vision.
The war would still go on, for neither Sultan
nor Porte dare as yet recommend an assent to
the best terms Russia would demand. The
call to patriots to arise would be Immediately
heard, and another Pslace Revolution would
d~isSipate the sug estion of peace The men

The first condition Ct peace must be sought

armies have been annihilated peace will come,
so to speak, of itself. At that crisis the wis

Power might make itself felt, and we should

MADAGASCAR.- "A correspondent writes
that it may now be regarded as certain that
Madagascar will take It's place among the
cof 9 projecting countries OF the world.
Already there has been ii large pxol, = OF
planters both from Nautilus and r union
to Madagascar. Th~se emigran'S have pur-
chased tor 4 mere song extensive tracts OF
land in the interior for coffee planting,
which they expect will prove q very produc.

4 Gorgeous Table Service.

4 Paris paper describes the tablc-Ser-
vice ut Il recent farewell dinner to Min
lister WaShhurnc:
Apart from Il rich display of massive
silver, the most notable objects were
the plates, which were genuine Sevres,
the pattern border of gold arabcsques
ON a black background. with an cXter-
Tor wreath of minute leaves in gold
most most exquiSitely finished. The
dessert service, plates, tinger-bowls, and
decanter-Stands, were in silver, with
open-worked borders, richly gilt, the
pattern passion flowers and leaves, and
on each plate and bowl was the mono
gram of the owner in gilt letters. The
handles of the dessert knives, forks and
spoons were of gold. with the owners
monogram stamped in open-work at
the end, a marvellous piece of delicate
goldsmith'S work. The sugar for the
after-dinner coffee was handed round in
chased silver casket of the reign of
Louis XIV.

Luck in Marriage.

Who can say that marriage, one OF
the most important matters in life, Is
not regulated by luck? One marries
an old friend, fondly believed to be
thoroughly known, and finds, as time
goes on, a host Of little faults, like a
nest of small vipers, which come out
only in the intimacy of matrimony, and
which have never so much as lifted up
their heads in public view
1t was a mere chance on the other
side that brought together those unfor-
tunate two whose stars arc lucky and
their guardian angels energetic. They
knew each other only few days before
they were engaged-only six weeks be
fore they married; but if they had been
brought up by careful parents for that
one express purpose, been shaped and
moulded and educated for no other
view, they could not have been made
more thoroughly harmonious, more
completely adapted the one to the other.
But ii was all II piece of chance work
from end to end-the time and place
and manner of meeting, the circum-
stances of the acquaintance, the condi-
ton of affairs on either side ut the mo-
mcnt; there was no calculation, no
clever combination of mastery arrange
ment Of events; it was chance, and rs
that chance turned out well, pray was
it not good luck, and is not this the
name by which to call it?
As for that other marriage, made af-
ter Il long and friendly intercourse,
where it would seem that the nature of
each was necessarily laid bare to the
very bOnes-Where care was taken by
her parents, and the whole of his cir
cumstances declared-what was that,
too, bat i'll luck, in that the hidden nest
Of vipers should exist unsupported,
bringing misery and destruction on
what looked SO fair and promised so
well? Ill lack, too, was it when those
two people met and fell in love with
each other, affairs not suffering the nat
ural arrangement Of things; i'll luck
when these other two did not meet, so
sure was it that they would have fallen
in love, and 50 charming and suitable
as the alliance would have been to both
ill-luck that the steam roller should be
gin to snort just as the carriage was
passing, so that the horses ran away, the
coachman was killed, the carriage up
set, and the master Of the house made
paralytic for life 1t was all the
chance Of five minutes Five minutes
later the monster would have passed
out of sight and hearing; and i'll all
probability the family would not have
had to suffer anguish for all time be-
cause Of the i'll luck contained in the
space of less than three hundred sec
onds. Phil. Saturday Ecening Post.

Strange Railway Accident.

Not long since an accident occurred to
an express train on the Southern Line,
England. A passenger in the second
carriage from the engine states that all
went well until they arrived within
about five miles of Minister, when the
train travelling steadily at express speed
of about forty miles an hour, the faint
est shock was felt by those in the fore
most carriages, slight crash heard, and
stones and dust began to fly up around
the carriage On looking out of the win
dow, he saw that u horse was being
dragged along by the engine; its hind
quarters were on the ground, the hind
legs on either side ofthe front left wheel,
and the rest of the body was held up by
the engine, and being thrust forcward in
some strange way The train was
gradually brought to a stand-still, and
upon going to the engine he found the
body ola largo, powerful black cart-horSe
with the left buffer of the engine driven
right into the body, and holding it up
apparently mt the juncturc of the lower
rib of the spine. In this attitude the
body had been carried by the engine for
about a quarter of mile. 1t seems
that man was passing over n level field
crossing with a wagon and two horses,
when, suddenly round sharp and close
~ adjacent curve the express train swept
upon them: he escaped but the left buff
fer of the engine struck the shaft horse,
impaled it, and carried it boldly of in
the manner describcd-the right buffer
caught the other horse ON the flank,
killed it instantly. and threw it off the
line, the corner of the wagon came in
contact with the first carriage Of the train,
broke one of its panels, and was hurled
off the line. 1t was the opinion of the
enginc-drivcr that if the horse being hit
so full by the engine had not been inn
paled and carried forward III the way
described, or if it had dropped from the
buffer ON TO the line before the train had
stopped, the engine would in all probab-
ilty have been thrown otfthe track

golden curls and her blue eyes; and after
the mother had thanked the general for
their preservation with fearful eyes and
trembling voice, the girl seized his hands,
wept over them, called him her presery

on his head. Scott looked from her to
me with very benevolent face, and
said, Well, my Cerro Gordo friend, if |
