AUSTRIA.

Pcsth, May 2-lnshe Hangari.nd diet
to-day Deputy Somsich asked the gov
eminent whether it intendedt to treat
the advance Of Russians into Turkey
with indifference, and if 50 whether il
relied upon the guarantee it had re-
ceived ~ sufficient protection to Aus
tro-Hungaiian interests in every
eyentuality. Also what steps had been
taken or were contemplated on the
lower Danube and guard Hungarian
traders against losses arising from the
atoppage thereof. Sonsich, in sup.
porting the bill, pointed out that Rus
sia had invaded the neutral territory
of Ronanis which had been guaran-
teed BY Europe, practically stopping
the freedom of trade on the Danube.
The enormous army that Russia had
placed in the field made it impossible
to forcsce the limits Of her aims.
The Russian budget says the Rus.
sian and Turkish circulars: will not be
answered by Austro. Hungary, as an
opinion regarding the justice of the
cause Of either beligerent would be
useless.

issued At the outbreak of the Franco
German war:
We are firmly purposecd and deter.
mined to abstain from taking any par,
directly or indirectly in the war nov
unhappily existing between those
soyercigns, and to maintain peaceful
and friendly intercourse with each oI
them.
The Telegraph Gays this omis.io,
can hardly be accidental nor under
exceptional circumstances OF the pres
snt war could the government be ex-
pccted to bind the country to an uncon
ditional pacific course.

ut was grounding day yourHonor."

.s0ur family has always celebrated
the day, Judge. If it is a cloudy day
we have baked goose for dinner and
congratulate each other on an early
spring. If it is a sunny day we al
WAYS get drunk and smash windows.
That why got drunk. 1t he's been
a regular custom for years and years,
and | hope you won't hop on to me
with big sentence"
II can't help about it's being Gus

Court, ''n0r can the people of the
State OF Michigan make it cloudy or
sunny for the grounding. Our folks
here found you driven into pile of
rubbish up to your shoulders, pulled
sou out and brought you here, and it
is now my painful duty to give you
the cold grip for thirty days."
BLAST the ground-hog," muttered
the prisoner.

right hand, replied.the Court. 1.-The
fact is, Mr.. Crane, there is too much
fooling with the weather, and there
are too many signs and too many

notice to quit, and never hear word

very core. The next place was an in
,tensely respectable private family.
When Mark expected to be out all

and strew few hair-pins round pro-
miscuously, and scatter few down in
the foot of the bed where they would
be found when the landlady was max

of course. "I've got a family here

remark, as she ordered Dan to pack up.
'sWhen they fire you out, Dan, it means

brotherly affection that melted Dams

A Young Couple In sandnsky.

sandasky CO., Register.
A young man and a young woman
are now passing through terrible or
deal of agoniZing suspense. They are
engaged to be married, and their fate
rests upon the decision of the Presi-
Dental election. The young man is a
staunch supporter Of Hayes, and the
young woman is firm friend of Til
den. They made bet, stalking no less
than their future happiness on the re-
suit of the election. Such wager may
seem exceedingly foolish to cool.head-
ed older people, but in the heat of an
exciting campaign. when both sides
claim the election, the young man and
woman whose minds are wandering far
OFF in Utopian realms cannot be ex-
pected to exercise the same judgment
that characterizes the clear-headed
politician. But the bet is made, and
the parties propose to stand BY it to
the bitter end. They love each other
with all the feryor and passionate ar
dor of their young natures, and their
very souls seem to catch the inspira-
ton of each others presence. Those
who have been there know how it is
themselves. The lovers eagerly scan
the daily papers and devour with
avidity everything touching on
the vexed political question. The bet
which they made is as follows: If Til
den should be inaugurated President,
the young man is to marry the young
lady; but if Hayes should be inaugur-
ated President, the young lady is to
marry the Young man. The counting
of the electoral votes and the an
nouncement of the result is anxiousiy
awaited, as that,an that only, can de-
eide which one of the parties is to
marry the other.

Where there is so much rivalry as in the
manufacture of family medicines, he who
would succeed must give positive and con-
vincing proof of merit. This is an age of in
quiry. People take nothing tor granted. They
must know the "whys'' and "wheretores"
before acknowledging the superiority of one
article over another. Among the few prepar-
atoms that have stood the test, those manu-
featured by r. " Pierce, NJ. ID. ofthe Worlds
Dispensary, Buffalo, N. Y, have for many
years been foremost. The truth of any state
ment made concerning them can be easily as
certalned, for DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy and
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery are now
prescribed by many physicians in curing OBJ
stinate cases of Catarrh and incipient Con-
sumption. The Discovery has no equal in
curing Coughs, Colds, Bronchial and Nervous
Affections 1t allays all irritation of the mu-
cous membrane, aids digestion, and when
used with DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pei
lets readily overeomes torpid liver and Con-
stipation, while the Favorite Prescription has
no rival in the field of prepared medicine in
curing diseases peculiar to females. Ii you
