Petroleum ON Shingles.

In regard to applying petroleum to
shingles to preserve them, a writer says
ut enters the pores of the wood at once
and as it hardens makes it more compact
in texture, and rather less liable to take
fire. The petroleum also prevents the
surface Of the shingles from rising in
downy tibcrs, or 'fuzz,' and it is on the
whole not SO liable to- fire from sparks
when treated with it. We have tried the
experiment with shingles oiled some time
previously, and find they arc not so easily
ignitcd by outside fire, although when
once burning, they will, of course, pro-
ducc more flame than the wood without
the petroleum" Petroleum is also very
good to apply to the iron work and steel
of farm implements to prevent their rust
ing when not in use. The crude article
costs but So or 81 per barrcl--and it is
useful to keep On hand. When any out
buildings, or even your dwelling house is
to be painted, onc-half of the expense
may be saved by applying coat of petrol.

H Corn Bread Unwholesome.
1T is the general impression in Italy
that bread made from Indian corn is I'M
wholesome, frequently producing spo-
radio diseases, which often terminate IA
tally. The facts appear to be we'll estab-
lished, and the result to depend upon a
condition Of moldiness which is very apt
to supervene in consequence of the meth
cd of preparing the bread in that country.
Quite recently some chemists succeeded
in separating from moldy Indian meal,
an alkaloid substance, which is white,
easy alterable, non-crystalline, insoluble
in water, soluble in alcohol and ether
which acts poisonously on man and ami
mails. 1t is especially noteworthy that
the sulphuric acid solution, when oxidiz-
ing agents are added, has a blue color,
strikingly similar to that of the CORES
ponding rctiacon of strychninc.

Turk and Tartar /.

There is no abatement in the
fury, determination or persis-
tence with which the Eastern
war is carried on. There come
from thence varied and conflict
ing reports as TO temporary or
partial successes here and there,
but the greatest success on both
sides has been that of the de-
struction of human life. If we
are to credit what We hear, the
slaughter has been appalling,
and it still goes on. Both par
ties fight with the frenzy of
desperation, and never show any
disposition yield. Active hos
tilities must now be soon sus-
pended because Of the lateness
iof the season, but the desola-
ton already made and the i'm
poverishment of such large dis
tricte of country will cause
prodigious amount of suffering
The accounts given of tho
suferings of the people left il

most distressing character
while the persecution of tht
Christians by the Turks contin.

Why He Pardoned Walworth.

hLbANi, hub' l.
Governor Robinson gives a statement Of
the reasons which induced him to pardon
Walworth. He Gays the application for
pardon was presented his predecessor who
handed it over to him without examination
or action, except that he appointed DIR.
Gray aud Judge Bacon to examine and re-
port on the condition of the prisoner. After
thorough examination of the entire pro-
ceedings of the trial, the governor, while
believing the conviction technically proper,
considers Walworth morally entitled to his
release. He reviews Walworth's youth,
his frequent epileptic paroxysms, his dread
that bis father would murder his mother,
and his visit to New York to see his father.
The governor goes on to say that the cir.
cumstances of this visit, the morbid mental
condition of the prisoner, force me to the
conclusion that tine murder was caused
either by insanity or the impression, posi-
bly, mistaken one, that his fathers silent
approach towards himself WAS with mur-
derous intent, and his own action necessary
to save his life. In either event he is moi
legally responsible for ii.

The Eastern War.

THE RUSSIAN POSITION THREATENED.
LONDON, Aug. l.
A Vienna correspondent says the posi-
ton of the Russians on the southern slope
Of the Balkans is grave and threatened from
four sides.
REPORTED VICTORY OF THE TURKS.
PERA, Aug. 1.
Osman Pasha announces a great Turkish
victory and the enemy completely routed
after two days severe fighting, with loss
of 5000 killed and 10000 wounded. The
Turks captured great quantity of arms
and ammunition. The Turkish casualties
were comparatively small, as they fought
upon the defensive.
REPORTS FAVORABLE TO THE TURKS.
LONDON, August l.
Out of the conflicting reports from Bull
gara the past week one substantial and
important fact is CLEANED, that the Turks
have abandoned their Fabian policy and
are making serious attacks on both flanks
of the Russians. The latter have been
forced to suspend aggressive movements
and concentrate on their line from Biela to
Tirnova. If Osman Pasha and Mehmet
AL succeed in joining hands between Tir-
nova and the Balkan pass it will be fatal
to Russia south of the mountains. Thus
far only Turkish reports of fighting have
been received since the first battle at
Plevna, but it is surmised that if the Rus
SLAMS were faring prosperously we would
have an official bulletin from st. Peters
burgh.
RUSSIAN DISASTER.
BUCHAREST, Aug. /.
There can be no doubt thai great dis
aster has befallen the Russian troops.
To-day reinforcements have been pouring
southwark as fast as trains could follow
each other. 1t is asserted the czar begged
Prince Charles TO cross the Danube imme-
diately with the nam body of the Rou-
manian army, that the headquarters Of the
ambulance are falling back to Slstova, and
that disorganized troops are retreatinG
across the Danube.
AN ALLIANCE FAILED.
BELGRADE, Aug. l.
1t is stated Greek consul, sent to Kra
gujwatz by his government, charged to ne
gotiate an alliance with Servia agains
Turkey, failed to accomplish the object o.
his mission.
BATTLES AND RUMoRs OF BATTLES.
CoNsTANoTNoPLE, July 81.
The Russians are bombarding Yeni Sog
chra. This seems to contradict the last re
port of the Russian defeat there.
