Miss FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE says
that if the English do not help the
starving East Indians they are worse
than the Turks, who put an end to the
enemy's wounded, for they will be neg
lecting their own starving subjects.

SENATOR SPENcER's marriage has
not tended to give him a more cheerful
view of political affairs. In a recent
interview he predicted that Ohio
would go Democratic by forty thousand,
and New York might reach as high as
a hundred thousand in the same
direction. The Senator is evidently a
little out of joint, but there may be
something in what he says.

IT Is remarkable that the reports of
military operations coming from Tur-
kish sources are. in nearly every case,
untrue, while those coming from
Russian sources have, in nearly every
case, proved true, even as to the extent
of Russian reverses and defeats.
Witness the recent reports from Plevna
and Schipka Pass.

AMONG the passengers on the robbed
Union Pacific train was Capt. L. Ching,
Of the British navy. He expresses the
opinion that all trains across the conti-
nent should be guarded by soldiers, and
that corporal and six men would be
sufficient. He wonders that no more
robberies have been committed upon
such an unprotected road, through will
derness and uninhabited country.

number of valuable models have been
DESTROYED.
