THE RUSS AND THE TURK.

It has been generally forgotten that a
treaty exists between Russia and Ger
many which, at the making of said
treaty, then included Prussia and Aus
tria, by which the right Of Intervention
was reserved against any attempt Of
Russia to enlarge her territory westward
and southwark. This treaty was made
during the Crimean war, and main
tanned Prussia and Austria in their atti-
tude of neutrality during that contest.
1t is still binding, and these two powers,
1t is presumed, still adhere to it's obliga-
tions. Russia does not manifest any
disposition to violate the conditions Of
this treaty, and Is very careful not to
give offense to the two great nations
which have the power to interrupt and
check any ambitious designs she may
have for the spread Of her dominions
westward. Beyond the support Of Rou-
mania, in the latter's declaration Of inde-
pendence, and her temporary protecto-
rate over the other Sclavic States
through which her armies must move in
their advance upon the Turkish capital,
she has not deviated from the straight
line Of faith and duty under the treaty
referred to, and holds herself ready
to halt and cooperate in any comprcs
mise which may be prepared by &C.,
many and Austria, by which these
points will be secured:
l. The abolition Of the vassalage of
the Danubian provinces to Turkey, and
the entire extinction of Mahommedan
rule therein.
2. The joint protectorate Of Russia,
Austria and Prussia, or the division and
distribution of said protectorate, over
these States as against any Turkish or
other invasion.
Upon some such grounds as these we
believe the Russian invasion on the
west Of the Black Sea may be arrested,
should Turkey, after the severe beating
she is likely to receive in that quarter,
determine to accept these terms.
The calm and silent attitude Of the
rulers Of Germany and Austria indicate
an arriere- pensee-an understanding to
this effect with Russia. But on the east
of the Black Sea Russia moves with a
far more serious resolve and purpose.
Here she must secure several great OBJ
jects.
The control Of an easy, direct road
to Persia and China, monopoly Of the
great trade with the Tartars, a polit-
ical and military control over the vari-
GUS tribes which occupy the vast region
that intervenes between her eastern
boundary and the Chinese empire, and
check upon the extension of the influ-
ence in India Of England, which has al
ready absorbed large territory in that |
direction.
This ambition brings Russia in direct |
and violent conflict with British policy
and interest, and at this point British |
Intervention alone can arrest the Mus
covite's purpose and ambition.
Russia sweeps through Asiatic Tur-
key; in a few months she will hold the |
whole eastern coast of the Black Sea, |
and will approach Constantinople from |
that direction. England is preparing,
but not moving. Her strongest anti
Russian politicians do not intimate
any more positive action than an op-
position to any interference with the
freedom of the Suez Canal. ALI the
rest is generality and Yagueness-all

A Washington correspondent says that
AN old man dressed in buttermut home
spun, and much travel stained, appeared
at the white house Wednesday and ex-
pressed desire to see the president. On
being introduced to Mr.. Rogers, the presi-
dents private secretary, he said he had
walked all the way from Georgia to call
upon President Hayes. Mr.. Rogers asked
him if he was an applicant for Office, and
he replied that he was not, but he had
some very important business which he
desired to transact with the president It
was discovered that he actually did have
important information which he commu-
nicated to the President in long inter-
view which was accorded him. He walked
to Washington to inform the president
about these important matters because he
was too poor to pay his fare on the rail-
road

Another Coal-Oi1 Johnny.

The McCarty farm at Limestone has
history. 1t consists of sixty acres. It was
left by provident old Irishman named
McCarty to his son Mike, two or three
years ago. Mike was switchrnan on the
Erie railway at Salamanca. His princi-
pal trait of character was getting drunk
whenever he got his pay. 1t was with
difficulty that he could pay the taxes on
the farm. Two. or three years ago he
would have sold it for $1,000. They be-
gan to strike oil around it. and three
weeks ago he sold three acres for $1,000
cash. There are several wells on his
place, and he gets one-eig:.th royalty on
al. they produce. His income is now
$500 a week. Mike sticks to his oily
switchman's clothes, but he has purchas
ed gold headed cane. He is throwing
his money around loose among the boys.
He is second Jonny Steele on a small
scale. Mike lives in Salamanca. His
wife built house some years ago, and 1t
was long time before he could under
stand how she did it. At last she told
him. Whenever he came home after
spree, she went through his clothes
and took the money she could find. This
was funded and resulted in the house.
Mike tells how he felt when he found it
out:
"Be dad! Ill was very mad. For,
dy'e moind, whin I'd foind no money il
me pockets, I'd fought spint it wild the
b'ys, and I'd go to wur-r-k continted.
But whin found me money bein' wasted
in boards for shanty, it was disap'intcd
1 was, sure.''
The parties of whom the elder McCar-
tv bought the farm reserved the right to
oil for ten years. The time expired the
day Mike sold the three acres.-Porflana

MAJOR RENO.

How HIS Case Stands in Washington.
The Judge advocate of the army has
received from General Terry, command
ing the militry division Of Dakota, the
sealed verdict and sentence of the court
martial before which Major Reno was
tried for insulting Mrs. Bell, the wife OF
Capt. Bell, a subordinate officer. The
verdict is not known, as the members of
the court are all sworn to secrecy, as are
also the attaches of the bureau of mill
tary justice, but it is supposed that from
the Overwhelming and convincing evi-
dence that it is that of guilty, and that
the judgement is severe. There are but
few who believe that the court martial
will pronounce dismissal from the army
as the penalty, but it is generally sup
posed that it will be suspension from rank
and pay. The judge advocate general is
now looking over the case, and, after
writing an opinion upon it, will forward
it to the secretary of war, who viii ap-
prove or d1sapprove, as the case may be,
and send it to the President, by whom
the Judgment will be affirmed and pro-
mulgated. Supposing that the senten-
ce is severe, Major Rono's friends are
making an effort to break down the find
ing of the court and have it overruled. on
the ground that he was not allowed to
produce evidence that Mrs. Bells charac-
ter was not such as to be injured by such
advances as he made. The court declin-
ed to hear testimony relating to her char
acter, and this fact will be used in an ap
peal for mitigation of the sentence

Location of the Territorial Road
Distances a. Chained by the Survey
ors-Larso Cut-ofs to be made,
Hovever-A Good Natural Road.
We extract the following from letter
from M. Allen of the Seims surveying
party for the location Of the Territorial
road from Bismarck to Deadwood. The
distance as at first surveyed it will be
seen is 237 miles, but extensive cut-offs
can be made, Nr. Allen thinks, reducing
it to 495 miles which is very near the
correct thing though persons we'll in
formed place it at 2l1. Mr.. Allen writes
as follows: 1--WE left Fort Lincoln on
the 9th inst, and arrived at Crook Citv
on the 25th being II days on the jour-
ney. We compassed and chained the
entire length of the road except short
distance on the north side of Grand
River which was omitted on account of
q binding snow storn and the necessity
of reaching that river that night, the
only camping place is thirty-five miles,
which distance we were compelled to
make in one day. We found q good
natural highway along this route which,
at small cost, can be made into first
class road for transportation and stage
purposes. The entire distance chained
was 229 miles. Several cut-offs can be
made on our return trip reducing the
entire distance from Fort Lincoln to
Crook City to about 225 miles. The
air line distance find by calculation to
be 2O2 miles. There is au abundance
ofwood and water on the route at con-
vesient distances for camping purposes.
And Northern Dakota, l think will be
highly grati6ed at the report we shall
be able to make on this route"

Notes from BufOrd.

Fr. BUFoRD, Apr. H. Paymaster Ar
thur has completed the payments for JAM
uary and February, and has returned from
Tongue River. Maj Arthur will leave
for St. Paul at an early date.
The quartermaster has completed the
ferry boat for use at this point, but the
wagon train which left Lincoln some time
since has not yet arrived, the roads being
in bad condition and the crossing of the
streams along the route have to be bridged
in many cases.
Gen. Hazen who arrived on the I'd inst.
had very rough tri ? and has been seri-
ously indisposed ever since his arrival
from its effects.
All along the river we hear of floods
and disaster at the time the Missouri broke
up. AT Fort Peck on the 23d of March
the water rose very rapidly at an early
hour in the morning, when the inhabitants
were lying very peacefully in bed-hasty
departures from dwellings very nearly
submerged were in order, and high ground
was in great demand. The supplies of
the agency were nearly all ruined and
private individuals lost their stock, such
as cows, horses, SC. Joseph Lanning at
Lannings wood yard also lost heavily, the
river sweeping away an immense amount
of wood, some $500 worth in all. MIR.
Leighton lost some 70 cords on the Yel-
lowstone.
The mail has for some time past been
transferred at the Muddy, the mail wag-
ons being unable to cross. Lieut.. Walker,
with detachment of the 9th Infty., is
now at the Muddy, bridging that stream
in order that Lieut.. Wagner's train may
cross with as little delay as possible.
A party Of Assinaboines who arrived
here to-day, bring runor that the hostile
Indians who have been across the line
trading probably referring to portion of
Sitting Bulls band) were captured by the
''Soldiers" this side of the line a short
time since. They say they got the news
from the half-breeds who witnessed the
whole affair. 1t is not credited, however,
here at present, as the story lacks confir-
nation from any reliable source.
One of the many pleasant events of
military life, long to be remembered by
those who participated, was the grand
hop Of Co. G of the 9th Infty, on the
light of the 9th inst. Everything was in
first class style, the supper, as somebody
said, one Of Feaga's very best efforts, and
the whole affair was the "boss'' event Of
| the season.

Aged Beauties.

History is full of the accounts of the
facination: of women who were no longer
young. Thus, Helen of Troy was over
forty when she perpetrated the most
famous eIopement on record, and as the
siege of Troy lasted decade, she could
not be very Juvenile when the ilLfer- tune
OF Paris restored her to herihusband, who ID
reported to have received her with I'M
questioning love and gratitude. Pericles
welded the courtesan Aspasia when she
was thirty-six, and yet she afterward, for
thirty years or more. welded an undimin-
ished reputation for beauty. Cleopatra
was past thirty when Antony fell under
her spell, which never lesseLed until her
death, nearly ten years after; and LAVA
was thirty three when she won the heart
of Augustus. over whom she maintained
her ascendeney to the last.
Turning to more modern history, where
it is possible to verify dates more ac-
curategy, we have the extraordinary De
Poictiers, who was thirty-six when Henry
II-then duke of Orleans, aud just half
her age-became attached to her; and she
was held as the first lady and most beanti-
full woman at court up to the period of the
monarch's death, aud the accession of
Catharine of Medicis Anne of Austria was
thirty eight when she was described as the
handsomest Queen of Europe, and when
Buckingham and Richelieu were her
jealous admirers. Ninon, the most cele-
brated wit and beauty of her day. was the
idol OF three generations of the golden
youth OF France, and she was seventy
two when the Able de Berais fell in love
with her. True it is that in the case of
this lady, rare combination of culture.
talents, aud personal attractions endowed
their possessoF seemingly with the gifts of
eternal youth
Blanca 'Capelle was thirty eight when
the Grand Duke Francisco, of Florence, fell
captive to her charms and made her his
wife, though he was Eve years her junior.
Louis XIV welded Madame de Maintenon
when she was forty-three years of age.
Catherine.I, of Russia, was thirty-three
when she siezed the Empire of Russia, and
captivated the. dashing General Orlof.
Up to the time Of her death-at sixty
| seven-she seemed to have retained the
same bewitchipg powers, for the lamenta
tons we're heartfelt among all those who
had known her personally. Mile Mars,
the celebrated French tragedienne, only at
tanned the zenith of her beauty and power
between forty aud forty five. At that
period the lovliness of her hands and arms
especially, was celebrated throughout
Europe. The famous Madame Recamlel
was thirty eight when Barras was ousted
from power, and she was, without dispute
declared to be the most beautiful woman
in Europe, which rank she held for Il
years.

The following, from letter written early

The Importance of the money question

the interests of every member of society,
and the people have no just apprehension of

years, almost wholly Ignored the issue.
