WASHINGTON NOTES,

The Postofice Department has receded from
its recent decision to do its newspaper adver-
Using through the medium of advertising
agents, and hereafter will treat directly with
newspaper publishers.
The American Prototype Company, of New
York, has secured the contract fa printing
postal-cards.
At meeting of the Cabinet last week it was
decided to notify the Mexican government
that it must take immediate steps 10 prevent
raids across the Rio Grande into Texas, other
wise the United States troops will be ordered to
follow the raiders into Mexico, and punish
them wherever found.
A Washington correspondent says the Presi
dent has avowed his intention of advocating
before Congress the RECOMMENDATION Of silver.
A commission is to be sent to New Orleans to
investigate the Custom House.
Sixty clerks have just been removed from the
Treasury Department, the majority on account
of having relatives in Office.
The Cabinet, at meeting last week. arrived
at very important decision in regard to the
Texas border troubles. An order 20 Gen. Sher-
man was drawn up and adopted of which the
following is the most importantpart

The Camnaign in Asia.

Specifically, the Russian campaign in
Asia seems to be confined to attacks and
.counterattacks around Batoum, bonn
| bardments on the eastern shore of the
Black sea, and movements OF the Rus
slams to suppress instructions fomented
by the Turks in the provinces Of the
Caucasus. In reality, these are only in
cidents of the campaign. It's real i'm
portance and significance may be found
further south. A glance at the map will
show that the Russians have made i'm
mense progress since they crossed the
frontier into Armenia, and that Moukh-
tar Pasha, the Turkish commander, has
been outgeneraled, and, if not out
thanked, is at least in a perilous position.
The original Turkish line stretched from
Batoum southwest through Abraham,
Kars, and Bajazid to Van on the Persian
frontier. On the Doth Of April, Kars
was invested; on the Both of April,
BaJazld was captured, and on the 18th of
May Ardahan was taken. Within
twenty days, therefore, the Turkish line
was broken and it's center and left forced
back to the west, so that the second line
OF defense ran from Batoum to Ere
roum. Meanwhile the Russians left
sufficient force to invest Kars and hold
the Turkish force at Batoum in check.
Moukhtar Pasha, apparently fearing an
attack IN force upon Batoum, after tbs
fall of Arabian weakened HE
center by sending reinforcements
there. The Russians, however.
had no intention Of weakening their adj
vance, as relnforcements could be sent to
Batoum, IT necessary, from Russia by
way of Tifis. The force released at Arda-
han pressed forward in a southeasterlv
direction down the valley of the TchorukHH
river, the left meanwhile swinging round
until the army was on both tanks of the
Turks, the right at Olti and Tortum and
the left near Toprak- Kaleh, and Moukh-
tar Pasha was compelled to fall back
beyond Erzeroum, the Cossacks even at
this point showing themselves on his
tanks. He is beyond reinforcements
unless they can perform the miraculous
feat of cutting through the Russian lines
from Batoum and Kars. If he is defeated
at Erzeroum, where the great battle of
the war may be expected, the Asiatic cam
paign will be at an end, for Trebizond.
Batoum, and Kars must then make the
best terms they can. The better part of
Armenia will be in Russian possession.
and that Russia means to keep it is
shown by the army of civil officials who
follow the soldiers and establish Russian
wherever there is Russian
possession. NJ Chicago Tribune.

Practicing the Back EalI.

Many people have wondered how
Clara Morris learned to fall PROSTATE
upon the stage with such heavy, dull
thud as she does in the fourth act of
Camille, " without hurting herself, but
of course it does hurt her severely.
Many parts of her body are now black
and blue from the effect of last weeks
falls. Her husband begged her not to
injure herself in this manner, but to
allow herself to be caught in the act of
falling, but her reply was characteristic:
II will do anything in the world for
you, except change line or alter the
business of my profession;" and, on en-
tering their room at the Evans House
one day last week, Mr.. Harriott found
his wife busily practicing the back fall,
striking with the back of her head upon
the floor. This is feat which but one
man, and no other woman, has yet &C

out to meet her. The instant Gen. Grant was
recognized he was greeted with three enthusi-
astic Irish cheers. The delegation offered him
the Inequalities of Queenstown, remarking
that every village and hamlet in Ireland had
resounded with praises of his name and
would welcome him with all the warmth
and candor characteristic of the Irish
people. The ex-President met with an
enthusiastic reception at Liverpool. Thou
sands of people were collected on the docks to
see "the great Yankee General, and when for
the first time he placed foot on British soil the
distinguished visitor was greeted with sue
cession Of deafening cheers that almost lifted
him from his feet.
The announcement made by CABLE some two
or three weeks ago, that the coast of Peru IN
South America. had been visited by destruct-
tive earthquake, is more than fully confirmed
by mail advices. From the meager de-
tails supplied, it appears that the up
heaval caused an enormous destruction
of life along the coast of Peru and q portion of
Bolivia. The cities of Iquique, Callao, africa,
Antofagasta, and other points on the coast
were visited by an upheaval of the ocean rush
ing shoreward at frightful velocity, the wave
being sixty feet high. 1t is estimated that
from 800 to 800 lives have been lost, and it will
not be surprising if later information largely
increases this estimate Of fatality.
Mr.. Gladstone, who is delivering series OF
speeches in England in the interest of peace, is
being enthusiastically received wherever he
goes. On the occasion Of his visit to Birming-
ham business was suspended and 10000 people
turned out to the meeting.
In debate in the British Parliament, the
other day, the Secretary of War announced
that England was prepared for any possible
contingency that may arise in connection with
the present European complications; or, in
other words, that she is fully prepared for war.
During service in Catholic church at Wies-
shen, Germany, last week, the building was
struck by lightning, and six persons killed and
about seventy injured.
From Havana come run1ors of peace negotla-
tons between the Spaniards and insurgents.
Editors in France are having hard time just
now. For speaking insultingly of President
MacMahon, the editors Of the Radical, of Paris,
have been sentenced to three months imprison-
ment and 81, 900 fine a Marseilles editor has
received similar punishment; and the con-
ductors of two Republican papers at Perpignau
for like offense, have been fined S5400, and
sentenced to fifteen months and two years i'm
prisonment, respectively. Prosecutions are to
be instituted against other newspapers.

desirable that the efforts to this end in SO far at
least as they necessarily involve operations on both
sides of the border be made with the cooperation
OF the Mexican authorities, and you will instruct
Gen. Ord, commanding in Texas, to invite such CO.
operation on the part Of local Mexican authorities
and inform them that while the President is
to avoid giving oense to Mexico he is nevertheless
convinced that the invasion of territory by armed
and organized bodies of thieves and robbers to
prey upon our citizens should not be longer en-
dured. Gen. Ord will at once notify the Mexican
authorities along the Texas border of the great
desire of the President to unite with them in efforts
to suppress this long-continued lawlessness. At
the time he will inform those authorities that
if the Government of Mexico shall continue to
neglect its duty of suppressing these outrages that
duty viii devo1ve upon this Government, and will
be performed even if its performance should render
necessary the occasional crossing of the border by
our troops. You will therefore direct Gen. Ord
that, in case the lawless ncursions continue he will
be at liberty to use his discretion when in pur-
suit of band of marauders, and when his troops
are either in sight of them or upon a fresh trail to
follow them across the Rio Grande and to overtake
ana PUNISH them, as well as retake the stolen
property taken from our citizens, and found in
their possession on the Mexican side of the line.

GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.

The steamship City of Brussels, with the
Canadian pilgrims on board, for whose safety
great anxiety was at one time felt. arrived
safely at Liverpool last week.
In England everything is quiet and the war
agitation has almost completely died out. The
government continues the fitting out of men
of-War and the storing of provisions and am
mufnuons at its various naval stations. But
these are simply measures of precaution. All
the powers are anxious to keep themselves in
READINESS Tor any eventuahty, but none seems
TO apprehend the probability of general con-
hict.
La france the state of affairs has not much
improved but all danger of street riots has
passed Tor the present. The prorogued Assem-
Oiy awaits its dissolution, should the Senate
agree to it.
