gentlemen OF unquestionable worth, without
The smallest provocation, or the least particle
OF evidence. In this she makes noble contri-
outlon TO our current literature. There is moth
ing IN which reform is so much needed as in
Inc Incense OF pen that may riot in type. We
nave mad perfect deluge of this muddy oozs
duting the last six years, and anybody who
ne'ps TO dam it renders decency a service
whether he builds the structure with three let
ters or four. We must enroll Miss Dodge
among the actual and genuine champions of
reform" who is striving 10 rescue that mis-
used word from being the synonym of cant and
SWIVEL and to restore to it its wholesome Saxon
meaning Of change "from worse to better; to
amend; to correct; to restore to former good
state or to bring from bad to a good state; to
reform the corrupt vices of the age.' Polti-
cal reform has been going on in spite of the de-
generacy OF the newspapers. When the regen-
Grafton of the editorial craft shall have been
accomplished the dawn Of the millennium will
have begun.
Gen. Grant has been in or near the city dur
ing the week and has been receiving the heart
felt tributes of respect aud esteem of which he
is so eminently worthy. He is in inc health
and spirits and is enjoying his respite from
public cares and duties with evident satisfac-
,ion. 1t is impossible to look back upon his
fifteen years of distinguished service to the Re-
public without feeling that he more than any
other living man is entitled to the grateful
homage of his countrymen. He is to sail from
Philadelphia on his European tour on the 18th
inst, and will carry with him the sincere good
wishes Of every American whose regard is
worth having. YARMOUTH

CANADA.-The origin of the word Canada
is curious enough. The Spaniards visited this
ticular search for gold and silver, and, finding
none, they often said, among themselves, "Aca
NADIA tthere is nothing here.) The Indians
who watched closely-learned this sentence
and its meaning. The French arrived, and the
Indians (who wanted none of their company,
and supposed they were also Spanisrds come
on the same errand) were anxious to inform
them in the Spanish sentence, "Aca NADIA. "
The French, who knew as little of Spanish as
the Indians, supposed this necessarily recur.
ring sound was the name of the country, and
gave it the name of Canada" which it has
borne ever since.

and 1000 troops were captared. Turkish iron
clads are reported guarding the Black Sea be-
fore Odessa.
PERA, May News of the Russian defeat
at Batoum is confirmed by letter, but every
thing tends to show that the Russians are very
strong in Asia and are likely to advance quickly
Erzeroum Threatened.
ERzERoUM, May 1.-THE Russian wing is
reaching through Gueles and Tchieder, evil
IDENTIFY with the purpose unless prevented by
the Turks, of turning the second Turkish line
of defence at Sagbaule. The Russian centre in
the plain of Kars seems to be awaiting the Ie-
suit of this movement and OF the man@uvres
of the left wing, which is trying to force its
way from Bayazid by the way of Surikay. The
Turkish authorities here are actively collecting
provisions. Circassian levies are beginning to
arrive.
LONDON, May IA despatch dated Poti,
Sunday, reports that the Turkish squadron has

of the fort and the other left for Fort Nicholas
Cannonading was audible in that direction

A telegram from Osurgheti, a Turkish town
on the Georgian frontier, near Batoum, dated
Saturday, states that the Turks have evacuated
Teshurksa, on the coast north of Batoum. The

war, which cannonaded the Russian column.
Mukhtnr Pasha Thinks He Can Stop the

NEW YORK.
The POst-OMee Disaster.

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE coroner's inquest
on the late disaster at the post-otfice began
to-day. Thomas 81. Oakshott testified he is in
charge of the construction work, that he is not
an educated architect or engineer, that the iron
truss was ordered by him of Hugh Haven &
Co. of Massachusetts, without advertising.
The truss was to be the same as others in the
building for the same purpose. He instructed
his foreman not to remove the shores Is inch
joist) unless perfectly sure everything was safe.
On removing the shores next day the roof fell
in. The truss had not been inspected, as he
had full faith in the firm which made il, nor was
it examined at all before it was put up.
The Custom House Investigation.
The custom house committee, after secret
session. read letter from the Secretary of the
Treasury in answer to one from the employees,
stating that no man will be removed from a
position because of testifying before the COM
mittee.
E. M. Evans, of the Bureau of Liquidation,
was examined. He said the clerks should
work f1om until instead of from 10 until 3
o'clock, as at present; that there are % clerks
in his department., but 10 good men could do
The work if assured positions permanently.
In the custom house investigation this after
noon cashier Hoffman said he kept account of
check on most of the fees received. Fees on
which the naval Office has no check amount to
about 5000, 900 per annum. They are mostly in
small sums from 20 to 60 cents.
Mr.. Turnure of the commission was of the
opinion that these fees which only give the
government 100000 yearly cost merchants in
time and trouble of paying over 81 100000.
Witness said the total fees received amount
to about 100000 month.

ciety last night was largely attended and an

leaving over ST., 900 due for missionary labor
Rev. DIR. Storrs, Coe and others participated
and DR.. Eddy of Detroit delivered the annual
sermon.
The Portland daily press., 1877-05-08

the decision of the conference should be fore
ed by war. Turkeys reply to the protocol was
blind and foolish. She is now suffering for her
in holding the protocol like portal to her
head and acting in contravention of the treaty
of 1871. The power responsible for breaking
the united action of Europe was Russia. Tar
key is now engaged in death struggle. God
alone knew what might be the result, but the
whole effort, of the British government must
be directed toSlocalize the war and preserve
neutrality If the Gar would keep his word
pledged to Lord Lotus, that he had no inten-
ton to take Copstantinople, but only to obtain
amelioration of the condition of the Christians
there would be no question of interference with
British interests.
Debate was adjourned till tomorrow.

War Notes.

The London Times publishes despatch say
ing that all is quiet along the Montenegrin

A Pesth despatch states that in order not to
afford occasion to Austria to depart from neu-
trality, Russian commanders have received or.
ders not to cross the Danube near Ka!afat nor
join anywhere with the Servian army. For
the same reason the Gar has notified Montere
gro she must remain on the defensive. Seryia
intends to revoke the order for modifying her
militia because such step is likely to provoke
Austria.

endeavoring to secure British Intervention in
return for the cession of the harbor in Crete for
establishing a naval station commanding the
Suez canal.
