As predicted last week war has been de.
clared between Russia and Turkey. In his
manifesto Of April 23d in which the declara-
tion was made the Gar briefly referred to
the causes Of the quarrel and claimed that
the sole reason for making war was the treat
ment that Christians had received in Turkey.
The Turks have sent document to the great
powers deprecating the forcing Of the war
upon them aud asking for a last attempt at
peaceful intervention. The action Of the
Russians has been prompt aud decisive. The
next day after the Cars manifesto was made
public their forces crossed the Pruth river
marking the Russian frontier, aud at the lat
est accounts battle was hourly expected.
Van Moltke has made speech in which il
appears that Prussia will keep strict watch
upon France. England is very uneasy as
well she may be. Austria has recalled all
her officers on leave and will grant no NOR,
furloughs. Thus the beginning has come OIL
struggle which perhaps will change the
destiny Of Europe more than any in its past
history.

We want few private words with the
boys. The truth is wS have great idea Of
boys. We used to think that men we're made
Of boys. We begin to think that those were
old fashioned notions, that they are all out
Of date. We look around aud see great
many persons growing up with mems clothes
on, who are called men. But they act aud
behave 30 that we feel certain that they were
never made out Of boys. If they bad been,
they would know how TO behave better.
Where they como from we do not know. But
what we wish to put into the ears OF the boys
is this--be gentlemen. In this country
every boy may grow up TO DO gentleman II
he will II is not necessary that he should
be rich--and most boys think il is--nor is IL
necessary that he should become a great
scholar, nor that he should become a distin-
guished man.
But some impatient ones are asking, how
can we become gentlemen Can he work
for i'll Yes, he can. And the harder he
works in the right way, the better. Can he
study for III Yes, he can. But be must
study with his eyes and ears. Reading books
aud newspapers is not enough. He must
think aud feel as we'll as speak aud act. Can
he buy itH No, he cannot. Money will
buy good many things, but it will not buy
what makes gentleman. IL you have
money, you can 20 to a shop aud buy clothes
But hat coat, pants, and boots do not make
a gentleman. They make fop, aud some
times they come near making q fool
Money will buy dogs aud horses, but how
many dogs aud horses do you think it will
take to make a gentleman Let no boy
therefore, think he is going to be made q
gentleman by the clothes he wears, the horse
he rides, the stitch he carries. the dog thai
trots after him, the house he lives in or th'
money be spends. Not one or all of these
things do it-aud yet every boy may be I
gentleman. He may wear an old hat, cheaE
clothes, have no horses, live 10 poor house
and spend but little money, and still be 4
gentleman. But howl BY being true
manly and honorable. BY keeping himsel
neat and respectable. BY being civil ant
courteous. By respecting others. BY dcinl
the best be knows how. Add finally, ant
above all by fearing God and keeping hi
commandments.

Tnn great interest of the United Sta ties in
the European war arises, as We all know,
from the fact that this country is depending
upon supplying the East with arms, NUM-
lions Of war, provisions, breadstuf, etc. Els
pecially is the latter class Of goods in trade
expected to be large; and the natural ro-
,ult is great excitement and higher rates in
those markets. Flour in particular has been
very active and the advance in price has as
topished every one. The fair grades have
quoted from 81 to So higher than before
the war news, and others in proportion. Corn
has risen seven cents per bushel, wheat, ten
cents, pork, 81 cents per barrel, lard, %
cents per 100 lbs, and other staples in pro-
portion. 1t is very likely that prices will
90 somewhat higher and probably will re-
main firm at the high rates for some time
II is Of the utmost Importance that all per-
sons, farmers especially, should make due
preparation for taking advantage of the
times. War news will DO anxiousy watched
for. and each new complication will have the
effect to make prices higher here.

learn that DR.. Leidy, at recent meeting of

heard Of one Of these worms having been

The Memphis Appeal.

This staunch and able journal mingles
with Mississippians its cheering notes of
rejoicing over the redemption of their
State from the depths Of desolation into
which it has been cast by the political
adventures who for long years ruled
and robbed them. To the Appeal be-
longs a large share of the honors of the
achievement. It's voice has rung over
the border frcm our sister State like a
trumpet calling the faithful to the charge.
It's large circulation in North Mississippi
has given it the opportunity to serve her
people, and well has it been improved.
To friends it has been an Inspiration; to
foes a terror. To the senior editor Of
the Appeal, Col. NJ. G. Galloway, the
people are especially due debt of graft
tude they can never repay. He has
been faithful friend in their hour of
calamity; and in the new life upon
which they have entered, We recognize
the sincerity of the congratulations which
are expressed in these words by his elo-
quent pen:
We congratulate the Democracy of Mis-
sissippi on the brilliant victory which
crowned their laboIs on Tuesday. The
glorious victories which the Mississippi
Democracy achieved in 1878 and 1879 were
but the breeze which was TO usher in the
hurricane. 4 few Struggling Independents,
the tools of the Radicals, have been elected,
but the Democrats have swept the State
from the Tennessee river to the gulf, amt
the horizon that arches the State is bright
with the bontireS OF Democratic triumphs
Tie people of Mississippi have sworn in
their hearts that Radicalism, whose chains
so recently eat into their flesh and whose
corruptons have i'm povershed them, shall
never again live in the State. This fiat is
written across the sky in letters of fire.
and from this time forward the carpet-bag-
gers, the Radicals and their silly tools, the
Independents, will know their doom. We
never for a moment believed that the De-
mocracy of Mississippi could be disor-
ganized by any fusion between the Radi-
Gals and disappointed office. seekers, and
the result of the election on Tuesday de-
monstrates that the people have no desire
70 warm into life party which even the
Republicans of other States are leaving
with disgust.

The movement among Northern lead
ers to disfranchise the blacks grows
apace. The New York Tribune, as we
have already seen, says that colored suf
frage is the most troublesome factor
in our political system"-''an evil for
which remedy should be Deutschland
that circumstances under which suffrage
was conferred upon the negroes "have
permanently changed" now comes
the State journal, the leading Republican
paper in Ohio and the home organ of
the Republican President, which chimes
in with the movement as follows;
'sThe fair thing to do, should the present
Democratic terrorism and intimidation in
the South be perpetuated. would be to count
out the blacks entirely on the basis of rep
resentatiOn, in which case the South would
lose fifty electoral votes and fifty represent
tatives in Congress"
One thing is certain, the scheme can
not be carried into effect in time to pre-
vent the South from giving 1873 electoral
votes for the Democratic candidate for
the Presidency, aud that will lack but
forty-seven of the number necessary to
eject.

Southern Democratic sentiment did not

The Hlra- County victory.

In our last numbe-, we stated in gem
eral terms the result in Kinds. The par
ticulars are given in another column.
The route of the Independents is more
complete than was first supposed. What
to outsiders, before the election, appeared
confusion worse confounded" in the
multiplicity Of office-scekers, was no con-
fusion at all. The PEOPLE fixed their
eyes upon the goal at which they were
aiming the election of the straight
ticket-and carried it through with the
precision of a minnie ball 1t was de-
cision not so much in favor of men as of
measures, and of preserving the unity
and harmony of the party by which tt
State has been reclaimed from misrule.
A gratifying feature of the election is
the fidelity with which the Dem
ocrats and Conservatives stood by We'll
don Hicks, the colored representative on
the Legislative ticket. He ran upwards
of 700 votes ahead of the foremost can
didate on the opposing ticket--a gentle
man of popularity and deserved influence,
and whose nomination on the regular
ticket would have been supported with
enthusiasm by the entire party. The
election of Weldon Hicks (who, by the
way, is an upright, deserving citizen, and
reflects honor on his race is an earnest of
the good faith of the whites in their deal
ings with the colored people, and will
give additional assurance that their inter-
ests are secure in the hands of the Demo-
cratic party.

Texas has purchased fourteen hundred
acres of land near Austin as the site of a
State University for colored youth. This
rather contradicts the industriously -circu-
lated Republican idea that the Southern
whites are unwilling to give the blacks suit
able advantages of education. We should
have been better pleased. however, to have
had thoroughly good, common school than
the proposed university. The country
seems to have run mad in regard to what Is
called ..higher education" Now higher ed
ucation, even when all that the name i'm
plies. Is a useless luxury for the great mass
of mankind, while lower education Is an
imperative necessity.-St. Louis Republic
can.
The Republican is right. ''Lower ed
pcation" is what is wanted, not ''higher. :
The State that learns its children to read.
write and cypher, and thereby lays the
foundations for seif-improvement, has
done its whole duty. The idea of a free
college education, embracing full cur
riculum. including arts and sciences, to
which the capacity Of the student is un-
suited and which age applied in excep-
tionahlc cases, is . humbug and fraud.

The House Committee on Appropria-
tons dropped from the present army bill
the proviso appended to the one of last
session forbidding the army to be used
for the maintenance of a govern
ment of any State, not elected by the peo
pie thereof; and the House by vote of
1873 to 38 sustained the decision of the
Committee as a mark of confidence in
Mr.. Hayes, fully justified by his action
in ordering the removal of the troops.
The occasion for attaching condition
to the army bill that the troops should
not be used to interfere with elections
had clearly passed, and it would have
cast suspicion upon Mr.. Hayes wholly
unjustifed by his conduct.

There is said to be a disposition among
Senators TO make Harlan's confirm alton de-
pend upon the action of the Senate on the
Louisiana Senatorial contest. The idea is
that Spofford owes his election to the work
done by Harlan as a member OF the Lonis-
lana comm ssion, so they claim that If KEEL
iogg is admitted by the Senate il will be a
reputation of Harlan's work, and he should
be rejected. o. the contrary, if Spofford is
admitted the Senate will thereby approve
the Louisiana compromise. and cannot con-
sistently refuse to confirm him.-St. Louis
Republican.
Ii is to be hoped that no such small
consideration as is here described will de-
termine the course of the Senate upon so
grave q matter as the appointment of a
Judge of the Supreme Court of the
United States. What has Dir. Hayes
