No Meeting Between the Emperors.

LONDON, July 13.-The Times Vienna cor
respondent denies that there will be a meeting
between the Emperors of Germany and Aus
tria this year, and confirms the statement
that no convention has been concluded be-
tween Servia and Roumania. He says Servil
hesitates until the Roumanian army is estab-
lished on the Turkish side Of the Danube. 1t
part of Servia will restrain the fierce Rou-
manians. .t
The present moment is thought favorable
in crossing the Danube, as 1t is supposed at
Roumanian headquarters that q portion Of
the garrison of Widdin has been sent to
-Nikopolis, or is kept in check there by Rus
sian column detached against that town.

bueolic virtue. Several million people pass
each year In front OF or rather through the
town, and yet the several hundred Green :
wichers increase In number only in the
natural way. The summer visitors come and
go, and leave but few footprints ON the
sands of Greenwich time.
1t is worthy of note that the Greenwichers,
although they have not been able to avert the

repelling the fire engine. Ii unfortunately o

pfACIDLY LET IT BURN,
with the hope that the flames will not spread
across the hindering spaces between the wide
lyseparated residences. Tweed once offered to
present fire engine to the town, but it was
declined, on the ground that, II it'should be
accepted, the small boys would amuse them
selves by setting fire to the houses in order
to have the fun of running with the ma
chine" Not more than ten years ago it was
still the custom Of the country people, when
they came In to attend church on Sundays to
bring their dinner with them, and to spend
the interim between themorning service and
the afternoon service in regaling themselves
on banquet spread upon the cheerful tomb
stones of the friendly church yard. This was
a custom, which, according to Buckle, existed
among the Scotch Presbyterians with whom
the sum OF earthly Joy was to spend the Sab
bath in listening to three long sermons with
a prandial interlude q
IN THE CEMETERY. s.
The practice has been abandoned In Green
wich, but the Sabbatarian spirit which 1t Illus
trated is probably remembered with regret
by the villagers who point with pride to O
tree still standing in the main street, beneath
which, in the good old days of the "blue
laws, horse stood, on Sundays, ready sad
died and bridled, with a man by his side, de-
puted to watch for any worldly-minded GRIM
inal who might profane the Sabbath by riding
faster than a walk, or by casting q too tender
glance upon hfs sweetheart beneath the shady
elms. Enough of Greenwich for to-day.

ICincinnati Enquirer.


COLUMBUS, s. c., July, ,1O.-Josephus
Woodruff, the President OF the Republi-
can Printing Company, which robbed
the State of large sum Of money, was
put upon the stand to-day. There is a
prevailing belief that Woodruff. who is
just now In a delicate and interesting
situation so far as his liberty is con-
cerned, may turn States evidence upon
his associates and this big swindle.
Some Of the robbers have left the State,
and are doubtless at this moment en-
joying their ill-gotten gains in fancied
security. Woodruff being compelled to
remain, 1t is thought he will make a
clear breast 1t. It would be better for
him IL he should.
The evidence given before the COM
mittee yesterday and to-day duplicates

Carolina as "Munchausen" Corbin, for

it Is said, gave each member of the
Mackey house two hundred dollars for
his vote to send him to the United
States Senate. He was elected by that
so-called House Of Representatives, and
went to Washington and claimed his
