Tho Eastern War.

| There have been no army movements worthy
of note since the fall Of Plevna. An attack
by Suleiman pasha's army on the Czarowitz's
left near Metchka on the l4th, which the Turks
attempted to magnify into some Importance,
was really according to Russian accounts, an
unimportant sllirmish The Turks have burn
ed and abandoned Elena and are now all east
of the Lom The Russians, however, continue
! to receive re-lnforcemcnts from north of the
Danube, and are pushing men and armamcnts
towards the Balkans and other aSsallable
points with avigorto indicate that in the Cars
estimation tire war is still far from being at an
end
The Scryians, now that the Turks are fairly
beaten, have taken the field with great spirit
in the cause of their own independence and in
aid Of their generous ally of the north" 90.
900 Scrvians are said to have crossed the from.
Tier.
Osman pashas force surrendered at Plevna
numbered $4,000 men, and his loss III the s0r
tie was 5000 killed and as many wounded. He
was not impeled to his desperate enterprise
by hunger as he still had three weeks proyis
ions on hand, but was driven by the breaking
out of an epidemic among his troops more fat
al than Russian bullets.
All intcrest-and especially in Engand-is
absorbed in the question Of peace, The porte
has addressed circuar--it is said at English
instigation-to the powers, asking for the med.
iation of Europe, and intimating the willing,
ness Of the porte to make peace on the terms
of the conference which the porte thinks
ought to satisfy Europe, as the unwilingness
of Turkey to accedc to those terms last winter
was Russias only preteXt for going to war
France and Italy are said to have sent friendly
replies to this circular intmating their read-
ness to take steps towards such mediation
but Germany and Austria reply bluntly that
they will have no part in it except With the
consent and on the invitation Of Russia
On the other hand England Is determined
that Russia shall not be allowed to dictate her
own terms to Turkey. Such terms England
very well knows could not fail to involve many
points hostile to British interests. Russia is
undisguised, for instance in expressing her
purpose to make no peace that leaves vestige
of Turkish power in Europe or does not in
volve the free navigation Of the Dardanelles,
as well as the command Of the Black Sea by
Russia and an important slice of Armenia as
a war indemnity. The persistence in such de-
mands by Russia will compel England to say
to Russia how far she will allow her to push
her conques,s, and to put her army at once IN
motion to make good such declaration. Par.
Lament has been summoned to meet on the 18th
Of January, full six weeks in advance Of the
usual time of meeting, and this is generally
construed to mean a melance to Russia.

OPERATIONS connected with the sub
marine tunnel under the English chan
mel have been commenced upon the
French side, several pits having been
sunk. The English and French COM
panies have drawn up definite conditions
of work. The property of the tunnel
is to be divided in half by length. Each
company is to possess half, measuring
from coast to coast at low tide, and will
bear the expense of its portion. The
tunnel, when finished, will belong to its
founders for a period of thirty years
after its completion, after which the
governments will take possession under
certain conditions.

AFTER HIS WEALTH.
of the Saints to Get Hold of the
Wealth of the Late Brigham Young.

Correspondence n. Y Times.
During the prophets lifetime, there
was no account rendered of the tithing
10 the church, and whether he had S1OO-
OOO or 81 ,000, 900 income annually no
one ever knew; or if one. perchance, as a
conhdentlal book-keeper, did ever know.
he was wise enough to keep it to him
self. Taylor promises that the trustee
IN trust of the church, which Brigham
was, shall hereafter render full ac
count OF the peoples tithing twice a
year, and tell how much it is in kind
and quantity, and what is done with it.
This is an immensely popular promise,
and 1t is quite likely that it will be
carried out, for the people could no
Longer endure quietly the prodigality of
the Young family. Tie sons travelled
like princes, and in all their bearing
they felt and acted as if "Israel was
their heritage" While the old man !"

naughty, and uphfted; already, they are
down, far down, in the eyes of the com
munlty. Brigham cared nothing about
the poverty of the apostles and the
wants of their families. The ablest man
among them, Orson Pratt, was for wears
living IN the greatest distress, and it was
only when he had fallen at the feet of
his master, and learned silence, that he
was permitted to work for the church
In literary labor and draw from the
tlthing office some of the necessaries of
life. Every pig, potato, or cabbage that
his apostles received was debited against
them, and the amount of their indebt-
edness was held over their heads; but
his own drawings from the public crib
have yet to be footed mp; they have now
curiosity to find out what he had.
1t is given out that Taylor has begun
to make such an investigation into all
the church accounts, and intends to
know what property the church owns
rightfully, and where any of that las
been gobbled up by Brigham or any of
his family it has to be returned. One of
the elders, who is a competent book
keeper and accountant, has been order
ed home from his mission in Europe TO
make this investigation, work which
will, doubtless, take him years; but the
people want it, and if. Taylor and his
associates are honest enough it will be
given to them. Whether they dare to
go this far or not, the promise of it is
very satisfactory.

The boy displayed great intelligence in
