struments, housefurnishing goods,

i,!ffait,0a, I will close with few
words about the floral exhibit of
Thursday night, and the music
which the Great Western Star Band
is furnishing for the entertainment
of the visitors to the Exposition.
Thursday night was t'fiower night"
and is said by the city papers to
have been the greatest success of the
season, so far, in the way of attend
ance. The floral display was indeed
superb, and every aisle and walk in
the building was crowded with the
gay throng of visitors. The flowers
were not only fine, but were in the
greatest profusion and were arranged
with exquisite taste.
The music is in charge of Prof.
Eichorn, the leader and director of
the band, and is by far the best /
have ever had the pleasure of listen
ing to, and many times during our
visit was the Professor and his able
band applauded at the close of a per-
Torrance by an appreciative and
admiring audience. Long may the
Expositions be kept up in our land!

THE EASTERN WAR.

The accounts of recent operations
are so conflicting that we have little
to say about them. 1t is fully set
tied that the attack of the Grand
Duke Nicholas army on the Grivica
redouts, one of the out-works of
Plevna, was repulsed with the heav-
lest loss encountered in any one ac-
ton throughout the war, and that
the Russians have given up attack
ing Plevna in any other way than
by regular approaches. This is tan
tamount to abandoning it for the
present. year, as the rainy season
commences with next month (Oct.)
during which military operations
will be impossible for both armies.
Suleiman Pasha continues his OPP
erations in the Shipka pass, and
took Fort Nicholas the most import
ant position thereon, but had to
abandon it upon Radetzky's receiv-
ing reinforcements.
A very important battle, If duly
reported, took place in the LON
country last Monday, but subse-
quent dispatches make no allusion
to it, we give therefore the despatch,
as it came, our readers must form
their opinion of its credibility:
LONDON. Sep. 19.-The Herald'S
special correspondent at the head
quarter of the Czarowitch, at Biela,
telegraphs under date of Monday,
that a desperate engagement was
fought in the valley of the LON, on
that date. Thirty-tWO battallions
and eight batteries, comprising the
wholeo the troops under command
of the Czarowitch, attacked Asof
Pasha's division at Scrankeney. The
Turks were strongly reinforced at
once, and the Russians were driven
back with great slaughter. The
battle was in every respect decis-
i've one.
Since the above was received we
have received two days dispatches,
with no confirmation, and great
doubts is thereby thrown upon the
authenticity of the report.

NOTORIOUS CRIMINALS.
TEIE wORKzNGMAN'S INTEREST.

At a time when new ideas are
forcing themselves on men engaged
in politics, new problems demand
ing solution and new issues dividing
party organizations, we think it
right that our readers should be sup
piled with means of approaching
these questions from every point of
view. We have accordingly in our
selected matter frequently given the
views of men who differ widely
from ourselves in opinion, discussed
them respectfully and candidly, but
with freedom, advancing, with what
ability we are able, our own opinions
where they are at variance with
them.
This we have done in this weeks
issue in reference to a cOmmunica-
ton signed &C. II. s." TWAS orig
inally printed in the Nashville Ban
ner, and its main theme is the de-
pressing effect impysed on the
interest of the workingman by
the issuance of in terest bearing
bonds to replace the legal ten
der notes withdrawn from circu-
lation; his remedy for this evil
is the formation Of a wOrkingman's
party which shall adopt the repeal
of the resumption act and the dis
continuance of issue of interest bear
ing bonds especially ifnot subject to
taxation) as the leading measures
demanded.
We hasten to define our own posi-
ton in reference both to the evil
complained of and to the remedy
proposed. We heartily concur in
the former, we strongly demur to
the latter
Assuming the points on which we
agree; assuming that the excessive
issue of interest bearing bonds has
been an intolerable burden upon all
hut their holders; assuming that
that burden has been enormously
increased by the successive enact
ments that the interest on those
bonds, at first contracted for in cur
rency, should be paid first in coin,
and subsequently in gold coin to the
exclusion of silver; assuming that
