There came q burst Of music's sound
The Frauu--oh, where was he?
Ask OF the cringers that around
With fawning bend the knee.
There hogs and sows, of fairness rare,
Rolled round and round in mire;
But the foulest thing that wallowed there
Was the Fraud from Ohio.

THE DEFEAT AT PLEyNA.
The Russians VIII kOt Cross the RaIk ans
Until They Have Crushed the
Turks i'm Bulgaria.

LONDON, Aug. 1.-THE Daity Ne,cs cor
respondent, telegraphlng from Biela, Thurs
day, says his estimate Of the serious effect of
the Russian defeat ut Plevna, formed on the
battlefield is fully borne out by the Russian
appreciation of it. The Russians stand wait
ing for necessary reinforcements, and are
thankful that they are not assaulted in their
defensive positions.
The defeat has altered the whole plan of
the campaign for this year. The Russians
have virtually abandoned the expectation OF
pressing the war across the Balkans. 1t will
suffice them II, during the three months still
available for fighting, they can sweep, Bulgaria
north of the Balkans, clear of Turkish armies.
The orders are to Withdraw from all the
trans-B Balkan positions This is from no di-
rect pressure of the Turks beyond the Bal
kans, but because Of the risk attending nn-
supported advances on this side OF the Bal
kanS.
The paralysis caused by the Plevna reverse
still endures One hundred thousand more
men are wanted and are Forthcoming, but
will have to be waited for. The first brigade
Of reinforcements is expected to cross the

" He spoke of Paris, its art treasures and
.sl,'monuments and paid tribute to the mag
osnanimity of the Germans, who left them all
I, untouched when they had the city in their
! na.power. OF Gen Grant he said: Wherever he

Eastern war.
Especial to tho Democrat
LONDON, Aug. LIN the House of Com
mons last night Chas. Monk. liberal. from
Gloucester, persistently pressed the question
on the government, whether they would con
slider the temporary occupation OF CONSTANT
nople by the Russians 50 far inconsistent
with British interests as to disturb the rela-
tions of amity between England and Russia.
The question had the effect of drawing from
the Right Hon. VIM. Edward Forester, Lib
eral, for Bradford, a statement express
sive of the greater confidence which
is felt by the Opposition Of the improbability
of England becoming involved in the war.
Forester said: Speaking for myself and
others, we should not have yielded to the
governments desire to avoid debate OH tho
Eastern question, If we had any reason to
fear that the government was likely, during
recess, to drag the country into war, or in
vove 1t in any breach of neutrality
This statement seems Indicative of an easier
feeling generally prevalent, which Is due to
Earl Beaconstlelds recent statement in the
House of Lords.
