w. p. Fishback arrived at Maxen-
kuckee last Monday and at once
proceeded to WOO the finny tribe.
Mr.. Fishback was once editor OF the
Indianapolis Journal when he
threw vim and snap into its col
umns that the old thing was unused
to. This was about the time when
the State printing fraud was discov-
cred, In which Dick Bright and 9TH
er democratic saints were engaged
in skinning black eats. FishbaclI
poured the hot shot into the demo-
cratic frauds, with such energy that
they were compelled to disgorge.
Mr.. Fishback is quite pleasant
speaker. and man Of commendable
ability. He will remain In Maxen-
kuckee for about two weeks, and we
make this introduction to the peo-
pie OF that place In the hope that ii

We contract a legal marriage, not
because We deem the ceremony nee
essary to us, or useful in rational
state of public opinion to society,
but because il we become compan-
ions without n legal ceremony, we
should either be compelled to a Sc
ries of dissimulations which we both
dislike, or be perpetually exposed to
annoyances originating in public
opinion which is powerful, though
unenlightened, and whose power,
though we do not fear or respect it
we do not see the utility of unnec-
essarily Drawing. We desire a tran
quill life i'm so far as it can be obtain
ed without sacrifice OF principle.
The ceremony, too, involves
not the necessity of making promis-
es regarding that over which We
have no control-the state OF human
affections in the distant future; nor
of repeating forms which we deem
offensive, inasmuch as they outrage
principles OF human liberty and
equality by comforting rights and
imposing duties unequally on the
sexes or the uniust rights
which, in virtue OF this ceremony,
an iniqutous law taci.ly gives me
over the person and property of an
other, cannot legally, but I can
morally, divest myself. And 1 here

clare that 1 consider myself, and

during the rest OF my life, OF any
such rights, the barbarous relics OF a
feudal and despotic System, soon
destined, in the onward course oil

tacit insult to the good sense and
good feeling of the present compari
lively civilized age.

ligious fidelity until the last Mrs

The Syracuse Gazette completed
its first year last week. We cannot
join in congratulations, for editors
of papers in little villages need sym
path for their endurance of semi
starvation, which they go on entail
ing upon themselves under the de-
lusive idea that they will make mon
ey. There is no field for a paper in
any village the size OF Syracuse and
the sooner the publisher OF the
Gazette shuts up his shop and goes
to some other employment that will
yield him a living with half the
drudgery he now endures he will be
making a proper start in life. The
credit OF printing a newspaper is
moonshine, il there is no substantial
prflot to the toiling publisher.

The Supreme Court OF this State
has decided, substantially, that di-
vorces procured in Utah by persons
who are not residents there are null
and void. This decision gives the
business Of procuring divorces with

business has been carried on hereto
fore under law of Utah which per-
mits the divorce OF persons who
wish to become citizens of that Ter
ritory. This law our Supreme Court
holds to be void. on the ground that
Utah cannot release the citizens of

no excuse to them, and no. consola-
ton to the person injured. THE Re-
PUBLICAN in all kindness suggests TO
every man, woman, and childin Plym-
outh that they should make it. a
moral point in the conduct of every
day life to repeat no story that may
be construed to the damage of any
persons reputation,-even il you are
satisfied that the story is true; for
in that case a person may have done
wrong and is now honestly trying TO
live a correct life. Humanity, even If
yon have no charity or christianity,
should lead every human being to
assist fellow human in efforts to do
right. And il this feeling does not
animate you, you should have suffic-
lent self respect TO attend TO your
own business, and let that of others
alone.

Prayer was offered in an Indianap-
oils church last Sunday for revival
of business. 1t is a good time to
offer such prayers; just as we are on
the eve OF better times, for 1t will
look very much as if prayers had
been answered. Prayers may be
relied on by some people, but we
have found that strict attention to
business and hard work have
brought satisfactory results. The
individual who will fold his arms and
do nothing but pray Is quite sure to
starve to death.

The Cross and the Crescent,

The American people are distant,
yet most deeply interested specta-
tors of the desperate struggle now in
progress, between the Muscovite and
the Turk. The vast array OF forces
on either side. the character OF the
combatants, the relentless. obstinate
courage OF the Russian, the fanatic
valor OF the Turk, the complication
OF interests which seem destined to
involve all Europe in the strife, and
the effect which such war Is likely
to have upon the agricultural and in
dustrial pursuits OF this country, are
points which give to this contest a
deep and absorbing interest.
And yet, IL Is fact that the mass
OF Americans are almost wholly with
out any definite knowledge OF the
regions most directly and primarily
concerned in this war. To most read
ers OF our newspapers, the news from
the seat OF war is In a large degree
unintelligible, from lack OF informa-
ton as to those people and countries.
Moreover, the demand for this infor-
nation has developed the fact that
there is not extant any book giving
what is wanted, in reliable and popu-
lar form.
We are glad, therefore, to receive
from the weu-known publishing firm
OF Hubbard Bros, advance sheets OF
forthcoming volume, entitled the
Cross and The Crescent; or, Russia
and Turkey. and the Countries Id
jacent." 1t is from the pen Of the
well-known historian, DR.. l.. p. Broc-
kett. and gives a full and complete
description OF the countries bordering
on the Black Sea, the Danube, the
Euphrates and the Tigris; including
their Extent, Physical and Political
Geography; their History, with all
its Varied and Thrilling Incidents:
the Religion, Customs, Habits, Man.
ners, and Character of each Nation
atty; their Military, Naval and FL
nancial Resources; the Causes and
Influences which led to this and
former Wars, and a Full and Clear
Explanation OF the Complications
which are driving the Nations Of
Western Europe into participation In
it; the Massacres in Bulgaria; the
Oppression and Cruelty which have
goaded other provinces and Tribu-
tary States into Insurrection, and the
Despotic Sway OF the Russian Gov
eminent, all depicted with great WV
idness and Force. 1t also contains
Biographical Sketches OF all the
Prominent Actors in the War now in
progress, Monarchs, Rulers, States
men. and Generals, with Portraits OF
many OF them.
Aside from its relation to passing
events, this Is most valuable and
richly interesting volume. The bril-
liant, bloody, and eventful history OF
these nations, the character of their
governments, the peculiarities OF the
people, their religious beliefs, their
social customs, habits and manner OF
life, present O subject full OF novelty
and instruction. and treated by so
able and brilliant an author as DIR.
Brockett, would at any time attract
wide attention; butcoming as 1t does,
in response to an urgent demand for
just the Information here given, it
will everywhere meet with an eager
reception, and prove to be most i'm
portant publication OF the year.

The Russians crossed the Danube
with small loss. Even at the Russian
headquarters it was undecided at
which point the attack would be
made, and that "a demonstration was
made along the line in such force
that the real attack could be made at
any point which appear ed the weakest
A correspondent Of the New York
Herald on. the field writes: The
Russian forces We're shrewdly massed
at Dfaga, ten miles back from the
Danube, and the neighboring viii
lagos about equidistant from Turnu-
Maguerella and Simnitza, enabling
quick concentration upon whichever
point proved the weakest. When,
therefore, it was ascertained from re-
turned spies that the Turks had
massed opposite to nu-Maguerilla.
the Eighth Corps. under Lieutenant
Radetksi. fell like thunderbolt on
Simnitza, on Wednesday morning, ef-
fecting q landing before tho Turks
had time To recall their forces. The
Russian plan was to make numerous
feints at different places with suffic-
lent force to turn the feints into real
.attacks at the points that proved
weakest. As a consequence, the
Turks were compelled to distribute
their forces over a great line OF river
front The making OF the bridge at
Simnitza WAS carried out in the same
manner at Ibrail, except that the
preparations for the construction
were more difficult, owing to the in
Z undated condition OF the river banks
at that point. ~
The correspondent says: Hurrying

the first passage OF the Danube by
the Russians, 1 went at once to Turnu-

that the main crossing would take
