Prince Charles of Roumania, when he
crossed the Danube with his army, issued
an address to his troops, in which he
told them that, if the Turks should prove
successful in the present war, their coun-
try would be invaded and be made a
scene of desolation. To save their coun-
try from falling into the hands of such
savage foe, he told them that it was
their duty to march and encounter the
Turks on their own territory. Referring
to the existing crisis. and to his assign
ment to the command of the army before
Plevna, he said:
We recommence to-day the glorious
encounters of our ancestors, side by side
with the numerous and brave army of
one of the first powers in the world.
Though small in numbers the Rouman-
ian army will. | am sure, earn distinction
by its discipline and bravery. 1t will
retain for Roumania the rank which it
has hitherto deserved and enjoyed among
the nations of Europe. This also is the
belief of the august Emperor of all the
Russias, and for these reasons not only
will the Roumanians cooperate with the
Russians on the same field, and for the
same end, but the supreme command o.
the two armies before Plevna has beer
confded to me. This is an honor which
is reflected upon the country. Upon you
then, let the Roumanian flag again foa
with honor upon battle fields where fo
centuries your ancestors were defender
of law and of liberty. Forward, then
Roumanian soldiers, with heroism, ant
very shortly you will return to you
country and to your families, rendered
free by your own efforts and honored b
the applause of the entire nation.

honesty can keep from this land the fu-

are willing hands. Here are good brains.
If only we shall be true to the old ideas
of simple honesty, of patient industry,
of frugal economy, there is no possibili-

THE PLANETS IN SEPTEMBER.

September is notable month, this
year, in the CELESTIAL annals. Mars,
Saturn, Jupiter and Venus are evening
stars throughout the month. Says an
astronomical writer Mars comes first in
relative Importance its disc is scanned
by astronomers as it never was before;
for the opportunity has been anxiously
anticipated for thirty years. The dis
covery of three Marian moons has given
new impulse to the investigation, and
human ingenuity will do its utmost to
interpret every line and feature on the
face of our planetary brothers. No one
who chances at the southeastern sky, in
the evening, can fail to recognize this
ruddy and beaming planet Saturn is
an interesting object during the month,
for it comes into opposition with the
sun on the ninth. 1t is a few degrees
north of Mars, and fine opportunity is
afforded for study of the peculiarities
of the two planets, the contrast in color,
size and brilliancy being very marked.
Jupiter is losing the prestige it has
enjoyed during the summer months, for
it is receding and its brightness is con-
sequently decreasing. 1t still holds its
golden head high among the stars in
the southwest, until it sinks below the
horizon, about eleven o'clock, during
the first part of the month. Venus
reigns in the west for an hour after sun.

A freak of American politics is the
unexpected nomination of George B.
Mcclellan as the Democratic candidate
for Governor of New Jersey. He got
864 votes to 38 for all others. 1t is
represented that great enthusiasm pre-
walls over the nomination, though why
it should is difficult to see. "Little
Mac" has much better chance of being
elected Governor of New Jersey than he
had of beating General Grant for the
presidency.

LEvELING THE SECTIONAL
FENCE.

The speech of the President in Gin
cinnati is the longest and best that he
has yet made. He sets forth clearly and
trenchantly the object which he sought
and has already secured by his Southern
policy. He puts it not only as matter
of necessity but as wise and right in it.
self. The absolute confidence of the
President in the wisdom and rectitude
of his course is apparent, and it is also
apparent that the army of doubters and
fault-fnders is growing less and less. 1t
is said that Postmaster General Key re-
marked, while in this State, that the
President would carry the entire people
with him should he go South. He is
going South, as this paper expressed the
wish four months ago that he would and
fully pointed out the immense advantage
that would accrue from it. The barriers
that exist between the South and the
North are artificial and unnatural. Be-
fore the frank, manly and honest words
and presence of the President they are
sure to disappear as if the ground open
ed and swallowed them. Every wore
pulls down sectional rail every speech
levels sectional fence, and every South
erner who grasps the Presidents hanC
and looks into his honest blue eyes will

President at the South will restore tn
ancient concord as it existed half cen

TwEED's REVELATIONS M.
Tweed has been torturing some of his
old companions in iniquity by his reve-
lations respecting the frauds of the Ring.
In his examination before the Common
Council, week ago last Saturday, he
was asked to state the origin of the fa-
nous city charter Of 1870, who prepared
it, and by what means 1t was passed. 1t
was this charter by means of which the
extensive plundering of the city treasu-
ry was carried on. In reply, Tweed said
with perfect composure, that he had paid
A. D. Barber, for the purpose of bribing
members of the Legislature, 100000.
He declared that he himself had bought
Senators VIM. B. Woodin, Norris Wins
low, Theodore L. MINER, George Bowen
and James Wood for $40, 1000 each, pay
ing them through Senator Norris Wins
low, to whom he gave 100000 for that
purpose. In answer to the questions put
to him, Tweed recounted at considerable
length his alleged conversations with
Mr.. Woodin. He said that he knew Mr.
Woodin received the money from Wins
low, because he afterward asked Mr.
Woodin If their matters were satisfac
tory" and MIR. Woodin replied, "Al
right" Tweed said that his adviser wa

paid $4,000 for his services. He de
clared that Senator Frost, of the FRS
District, Michael Norton, Thomas J
Dreamer and VIM M. Graham Ito whom
he said. he was giving money all tn
time, as he was always in trouble), wer
all induced to give their support by re
wards of one kind or another.

MATHEMATICS AND MEDICINE
other talks to-day it came out that
whaleships carry no doctors. The cap
tain adds the doctorship to his own du-
ties. He not only gives medicines, but
sets broken limbs after notions of his
own, or saws them off when amputation
seems best. The captain is provided
with a medicine chest, with the medi-
cines numbered instead of named. A
book of directions goes with this. 1t
describes diseases and symptoms and
says: sGive teaspoonful Of No. 9
once an honr," or 'sGive ten grains of No

sea captains came across a skipper in
the North Pacific who was in state of
great surprise and perplexity. Said he:
''There's something rotten about this
medicine chest business. One of my
men was sick-noshing much the matter.

COMMUNISM.

In its application to society the prin-
ciple, whatever is, is right" expresses
an indisputable truth. Any student of
history cannot fail to perceive that there
is social evolution, that the Survival
of the fittest" finds its most perfect ex-
qualification in the existing forms of
society. "Man must be in harmony
with his surrounding" not only in ply
steal characteristics, but society must be
such as is suited to his intelligence and
his moral nature. The history of civil
zation demonstrates that any attempt at
social, without individual advancement,
infallibly ends in failure. Democracy
is undeniably the best form Of govern
ment, but for a vicious, Ignorant people
it is far inferior to a despotism. The
people, by an unerring law of nature,
gravitate toward that form of govern
ment best suited to their condition
Thomas More wrote his Utopia and
Plato his Republic, but the perfect state
of society described by both necessitates
perfect people for its origin and con-
tinuance. The vices of the people are
what make governments necessary
Laws are designed more to prescribe the
punishment for, and to prevent the COM
mission of crime than to declare what is
right. Perfection must ante-date COM
munism. When the people are prepar-
ed for it, communism will come as GER
tain as the apple will fall to the ground
when it breaks away from the support
ing twig.
The Mohammedan embraces death as
friend in the field of battle, because
he longs to fly to the embraces of the
b,ack-eyed damsels whom he LIS taught
to believe await him in heaven. The
ignorant communist longs to see his
ideas in the ascendant, not for the gen.
eraI benefit of humanity, but because he
fancies it will better his condition at the
expense of the now more fortunate. He
longs for an equality of wealth which his
Iabors are never directed to produce
He strives for equality not by raising q
mortal to the skies, but by drawing an
angel down. The religion of the Mo-
hammedan and the principles of the
ignorant communist are sensual and de-
base both.
While communism results from envy,
as it does at present, it must have de-
generating influence. When its main
spring is the betterment of the condition
of general humanity, it will ennoble
those who advocate it. The present
professors of communism disgust the
lovers of law and order by their excuses
which clearly show that they reject ev-
erything good which the system can
boast of and retain the evil.
The system of private property is a
necessity of the times and must continue
until selfishness is no longer character
istic of mankind. How much charity
can be credited to the blatant Brucker
What sacrifices is he willing to make fol-
the benefit of the poor? Brucker loves
notoriety !; he likes to be noticed though
it be to be kicked, and he will espouse
any cause that brings him before the
people and furnishes him an opportuni-
ty to rant.
