Snap Juslgm ents.

Persons who act upon the principle that
''the highty purpose never is o'ertook un-
less the deed 60 with it, are often accused
ofjudging rashly and without proper con-
sideration, but this charge is often un-
deserved. The value of decision does not
depend upon the rapidity with which it is
made, but upon the correctness of the in
formation upon which it is based Slowness
in forming an opinion is as often an evil
dence of ignorance as of profundity, our
friend Jack Bnnsby being a notable example
OF the fact. As rule men who impress the
world decide quickly when suddenly called
upon to act, and this promptitude is in nine
cases out of ten one Of the principal elements
of success. This is especially the case when
aprompt judgment is founded on solid ex-
perience. If the late NJ lie verrier had been
informed that a planet had been seen between
the orbits OF Neptune and Saturn he
would have instantly declared it impossible.

Don't Rob Yourself.

We find the following touching ''incident
of real life" related in Philadelphia jour-
nal:-"Gencral Simon Cameron, speaking
the other day at q meeting in the old church
at Donegal, said that he and his brother
William intended to erect home for SUPER
animated clergymen and endow it with
ten thousand dollars. The death of his
brother frustrated the plan. But, notwith-
standing this, he said he would cheerfully
subscribe for that purpose five thousand dol
lars if like amount was subscribed by the
friends Of the church"
This reminds us of another Pennsylvania
gentleman, who on certain occasion found
himself in stage coach with three young
ladies, and presently produced an orange
from his pocket, peeled it and carefully di-
viding it into four pieces offered one to
each OF the ladies. sTm afraid you're rob-
bing yourself, Mr.. Jones, said one of them,
more considerate than the others. "Not at
all, he promptly replied, mot at all; I've
got half dozen more in my pocket"

The BATTLE OF KnrR n ssn N !.

When Mehemet Ali assumed the chief
command of the Turkish army he found it
thrust back on the line extending from Ras-
grad to Osman Bazaar by what really proved
to be an inferior force forming the left wing
of the Russian army The outposts of the
Czarewitchs army were quartered in the
villages in the valley Of the Middle LON,
within eight miles Of Rasgrad, and even
threatened Shumla itself by occupying
positions which menaced the communica-
tions between the Turkish right and centre.
One of the first movements, therefore, that
the new Ottoman commander undertook was
to sweep away from his front these advanced
groups of Russian troops. This he accom-
plished without much difficulty or loss, and
having established his lines by defeating the
Russians near Eski Djuma, he prepared to
take the offensive and drive his enemy out
of the valley of the Middle LON. BY q
strange oversight the Russians failed to oc-
cupy and fortify commanding positions on
the right bank of the river, and held only
certain villages that were dominated
by the towering heights that over
looked the valley and the Russian
lines. The result was that Mehemet Ali by
a rapid advance seized these positions and
soon converted them into impreGnable

for the possession of that village, which was
Justly regarded as the key of the Russian
position. The graphic story of our corre-
spondent, who witnessed the battle from
the heights overlooking the field, is printed
elsewhere this morning. The whole action
and its results show that the Russians were
surprised. and lost the battle and much val
liable ground by what we must term the
gross neglect of their leaders. 1t matters
little whether an army fights bravely OF not
if it loses battle. The consequences of
defeat are likely to prove more disastrous
when the losses OF the defeated are swelled
by the unavailing gallantry Of their troops.
The Russian position was untenable with
the weak forces arrayed to hold it. Had the
troops that arrived too late been placed
in proper positions before the battle
commenced Mehemet Ali's advance might
have proved terrible failure As it
was the Russians yielded without a
serious struggle the elevated ground on

Mtsdtrected Efforts.

The objects Of the temperance people, who
have lately held national conference in
this city, are SO commendable that it is ia
be regretted that their zeal did not permit
them to become the advocates of wholesome
and practical measures Believing that
''total abstinence is the only true temper
ance," they insisted in their declaration OF
principles on the action Of Congress to for
bid the importation Of liquors and prohibit
their manufacture, and declared that "the
history and results of oil past legisla-
tion in regard to the liquor traffic abund.
antly prove that it is impossible satisfac
torily to limit or regulate system 30 essen.
TALLY mischievous in its tendencies" On
the contrary, the history and results of past
legislation prove that attempts ut prohibi.
ton invariably fail to be effective, and leave
the liquor traffic without wholesome re-
straint and regulation, while wise and strin-
gent license laws hold it in proper check
and are the best safeguards against abuse.
The unyielding spirit which insists that
mems appetites shall be legislated out Of
them altogether. aided by the politicians
in the last Legislature who hoped to profit
by the absence of good license law in New
York city, left us in the excise muddle
which followed the Court Of Appeals de-
cision, declaring that no licenses for the
sale Of liquor to be drunk on the premises
could be granted, except under the old law
of 1867. The result has been that the Board
Of Excise has brought ridicule on oil law by
its glaring evasions Of the one they are sup-
posed to enforce, that the liquor traffic has
been more free from restraint than it has
been for years past in the city, and that the
police have knowingly winked at offences
they are officially bound to punish. When
the Excise Board and police disregard the
law on the thinnest pretences it il
not likely that the people will oh.
serve it, and the consequence is
that we have to-day more unlicensed,
disgraceful, degraded rumholes in opera
ton than we ever had before. A stringent,
sound license law fit for metropolis could
be properly enforced in New York. and the
liquor dealers would be the foremost to
aid the authorities in preventing its vio-
lation. Governor Rice, Of Massachusetts,
himself temperance man, vetoed the pro-
hibitory law passed by the last Legislature OF
that State on the ground that good license
law was in force and was exerting an excel
lent restraining influence on the liquor
traffic, while former attempts at total pro-
hibition had signally failed. If the tenn
perance conference would give up theories
and aid in advancing practicable restrain
ing measures they would do much more
than they are now doing to advance ana
strengthen the temperance cause.

as impregnable as Plevna. 1t therefore
seems to US that a winter campaign will give
the Russians an opportunity of repairing all
their errors, while to tho Turks it cannot
terminate otherwise than disastrously. The
success which attended Osman Pacha in
one of his recent efforts to reprovision
Plevna is somewhat counterbalanced by the
failure Of second attempt. The Russians
allowed the first convoy to slip through
their fingers, but the second was turned
back, with some loss by the Roumaniar
cavalry. These Roumanians are proving
themselves to be good soldiers and are en-.
ergetically pushing forward their approaches
on Pleyna.

TIE SERMONS yesterday We're nearly all on
topics which come home to our everyday life
andwith one or two exceptions they each and all
suit every branch OF the Christian Church. Ser
mons from Presbyterian pulpts might have been
preached to the followers of Wesley, and vice
versa, without shocking the doctrinal views and
tencts of one another. There is little lesson in
this for angry controversialists if they will only
sec it. The exceptional sermon referred to WAS
that preached by DR.. Frothingham, who placed
his ideas on what he calls the church of the flu
turc in perhaps the strongest possible way.
With the return of the cool weather the metro
politan pulpit has recovered its wontcd vigor
and eloquence
