WAR DECLARED.

Russia has declared war against Tur-
key, and her armies are moving rapidly
toward and into Turkish territory. The
armies of Turkey are also fastening for
ward to meet the invading foe. A little
geography pertaining to the countries in
which the war will be carried on, may
assist our readers in getting better I'M
Outstanding of matters in relation to the
war hereafter. Turkey in Europe en-
braces all the southeastern portion Of
Europe. 1t is AN irregular shaped coun-
Try, Of an average width, east and west,
Of $50 miles. while it averages 250 miles
north and south. 1t is q mountainous
country with no large rivers except the
Danube, very few railroads and few
large cities. 1t is surrounded on three
sides by water, including the Black Sea.
the Bosphorus, the Sea Of Marmora and
the Hcllespont on the east; the Medit-
erranean and the Adriatic on the south
and west. The Danube forms the north
boundary. except in the extreme western
and eastern portions of the country. The
subdivisions Of European Turkey are
Bosnia, Servia, Bulgaria, which border
on the Danube; Rumili in the east
Greece in the south; Albani. Herzego-
vinia, Montenegro and Crotia in the west.
In the last named countries the Turks
have been carrying on war for some time
past. to subdue the rebel elements that
have sought for milder laws.
Turkey in Asia embraces very large
area of country. including all that por.
ton west Of Persia and north and west
Of Arabia. The Turkish dominion ex
tends also into Africa. Egypt and othel
lesser countries are under Turkish rule
though enjoying a sort of independence
The capital of Turkey is Constantinople
situated near the Black Sea on the Eu
ropean side of the ,BOsphorus.
The inhabitants of Turkey consist o
every race. and almost every kind on tn
earth. They are, as a whole, ignorant
thriftless and degraded. The whole ma
ton is made up Of odds and ends, an,

has been prOpped up by assistance frOr
the European powers, from time to time
in the fear that the balance of powe
might be lost, when Turkey was disin
tegrated, and the more powerful nation
came to gather up the fragments. Tn
great powers in western and central Eu
rope have feared Russia. lest she Nigh
gain territory and advantages by gettin
a foothold in Turkish dominiOns.
Turkey is weakness, rOttenness an
poverty. but. after all, manages in grea
emergencies like the present to rails

General Sherman, who has heretofore
proven seer in the result of campaigns,
predicts fearful struggle in Europe.
He says that 1.-THE world will witness
the greatest battles ever fought, so far as
destruction of life is concerned. hs-
lieve this struggle is going to cost
million of lives. and they will not all be
Russians and Turks, either. can hardly
believe the Turks can withstand the
shock. They may save COnstantinOple,
but if they lose every other point, what
good will it do ?" Of the contending
forces about to take the field, he says
Neither Russia nor Turkey ever haC
larger or better disciplined armies thar
now. They have all the advantages o
many improved arms and modes O.

The spring has opened early. and
there will be time and opportunity to
plant many shade trees this season. Now
is the time to do it. There are many
desOlate places that would be beautified
and benefited by trees, and there are
many highways, as well as farm resi-
dences that might be improved in ap'
pearance by a few trees. Everybody
knows the advantages of shade trees,
and with this favorable opportunity, they
ought to put out an unusual number Of
fruit and shade trees this year.

1t is reported from Washington that
the Administration has taken up the
question of appointments to the civil
service in the South with earnestness.
The principle which it is announced will
govern the President in this matter is a
very simple one, and cannot but COM
mend itself to the country. 1t is that
to all positions of responsibility Repub-
lie0ns possessing the confidence of the
community in which the work of the Of
fee is to be performed will be named.
In the present condition of affairs in the
South, the first clause of the conditions
mentioned is as important as the second.
All Offices of Importance are there re-
garded as political, and the occupants
Of them are looked upon as the repre-.
sentatives of the Administration.

and fill the air with flying boots and
portable furniture. The residents are
in sore trouble. They say the cats are
worse than the rats, with whom they
have apparently formed an unnatural al
lance for offensive assaults on anything
and everything eatable they can lay
their paws on. Worse than all. the New
York cat, in addition to all his other
vices, is becoming addicted to hydropho-
bia of an aggravated character. This
puts the cap sheaf on his accumulated
offences, and long suffering public hav-
! ing risen against him, he has suddenly
become an equal sharer with the Spite
dog in the general enmity and fear.
The smooth current of the amusement
season has been slightly rufled this
week largely, no one will be surprised
to hear, by Anna Dickinson who sudden
ly, on Monday night, gave notice to the
proprietor of the theatre at which she
has been acting, that she should not put
in an appearance. A newspaper quar-
rel followed, and the Grown of Thorns'
is killed.
An interesting episode occurred at
Gilmore's Garden, in which Barnum' 8
big elephant "Borsen". who has only
been in America few days, filed the
chief role. Borsen has the reputation
of being the biggest elephant in captiyi-
ty, and he feels his dignity accordingly.
When, therefore, he was brought INTO
this .'blarsted country" and actually
shut up in the same cage with three pie
bian elephants of smaller size. his feel
ings were so outraged that he found il
necessary to pick up his keeper vita his
trunk and chuck him couple of blocks
in order to show a proper resentment
Further reflection convinced him tha
this was not sufficient vindicatpn o.
his honor, so he knocked down the wood
en- walls of his domicile and the cage o
lions, and then galloped around tie es
tablishment for an hour or so. when h
was finally captured. RABIx.

ley of Hatley, while engaged in taking
boards from the circular saw, in Mr..
Smith McKay's mill near North Hatley,
by some miss step, fell upon the saw

killed. The saw severed the right hip

the left leg from the body, and the en-

The state dinner recently held at the
White House, in honor of the Russian
visitors, was of unusual magni6cence.
The dining-room and parlors adjoining
were handsomely decorated with flowers,
and the Marine Band vas stationed in
the vestibule to furnish music. The
Grand Duke Alexis escorted Mrs. Hayes
to the table, and the Grand Duke Con-
stantine Mrs. Evarts. The President
escorted Nine. Shishkin. the wife of the
Russian Minister. and Secretay Evarts
escorted Lady Thornton. Mrs. Hayes
had Grand Duke at each side during
the banquet, and the President wa,
fanked by Lady Thornton and Nine
Shishkim. There was domostic cabi
net meeting over the wine question, Mrs
Hayes being conscientiously opposed t.
having spirits upon her table. but SD,
yielded upon this occasion to the argu
ments of Secretary Evarts, who was o
the opinion that the foreigners were &C
customed to dine with wine, and woult
not enjoy the dinner without it. Mrs
Hayes yielded reluctant consent, will
the understanding that hereafter no win
should be served at state dinners. l
was noticed that no wine-glasses ver
placed at the plates of either the Presi
dent or Mrs. Hayes. Mrs. Hayes wa
elegantly but plainly attired, and wOr
no ornaments. She was the least elabC
rately dressed of the ladies prosen

Democratic aspirants for the Speaker
ship of the House are stirring up a very
animated contest. Mr.. Morrison is re-
ported to be determined!y opposed to
Mr.. Randall. and if he cannot succeed
in obtaining the nomination himself 1T
is believed that he will work to secure
the nomination of Mr.. Cox. 1t is believed
that Mr. Cox and Mr.. Morrison have a
treaty offensive and defensive, by which
whoever of the two develops the greater
strength will receive the support of the
other. The Blackburn element, embrac-
ing nearly all those who filibustered to
defeat the completion of the Electoral
count, will ultimately go to Mr.. Cox. At
best, Mr.. Sayler will not do more than
reach the third place in the race. Thomp-
son, who is the Democratic manager, is
against him and for Randall, because he
desires to be reelected Sergeant-at- Arm
If Randall cannot be elected. Thompson
will throw his strength in favor of Cox
