The Turkish War

A cable special says Gourko'S campaign,

Balkans has resulted thus far in a loss of
only 500 men. The Turks are deserving
because OF the increasing cold, which

or Russian troops caught on the march
by a snow storm. Cold weather and a
driving snow produced a terrible effect
upon the transport train which halted
near Cotrocen, a suburb of Bucharest, to
await the cessation OF the Storm On
Sunday wagons and horses were entirely
buried in the snow, and working parties
were eXtrlcatlng the train. Forty horses
and tWenty-nlne men were found dead.
The men had sought shelter in the wag-
OnS, and were frozen to death within half
a mile of COtroceni. This transport train
had camped on a level plain, and was
buried by the driving snow which piled
up around the horses and wagons.

Decision Against Negro Attorneys.

AsHINGTON, Dec. p. The MARYLAND
Court of appeals has rendered an opinion
denying the right of Charles Sayler, a
colored citizen Of Maryland, to be admit
ted us attorney Of the court. The Chief
Justice in delivering the opinion Of the
court, says: 1.-The fourteenth amend
ment has no application. The legislature
alone can change the law. The privilege
of admission to the Office of an attorney
cannot be said to be right or immunity
belonging to the citizens, but is governed
and regulated by the legislature, who
may prescribe the qualifications required
and designate the class of persons who
may be admitted. The power of regu
lating the admission OF attorneys in courts
of State is one belonging to the State
and not to the Federal government

The editor of the Prog. Age, in defence

The editor Of the Prog. Age, in defence
of his newly adopted theory concerning
the medicinal effect of whiskey and milk,
puts forth great many assertions that
no one will object to. Like Dr. Holmes
katydid, he
Says an undisputed thing
In such Il solemn way.
There is no doubt that the moderate
use of ale, lager beer cider and even wine
may be harmless, provided that the use
shat be moderate. But many people be
lieve, and some of them know that their
unrestricted use is extremely liable to run
into excess, and lead to stronger potations.
And the large portion of the people Of
Maine hold that their public sale is harm
full. The medical faculty find that whis-
key, brandy, &C., used as stimulants, may
in extreme cases sustain the sinking vital
powers, and tide overa crisis. They per
tain to large class Of e1citants used in
medicine, ranging from simple beef tea
to ammonia, cayenne pepper, ether, opium
and alcohol They have all their appro-
pirate and beneficial use under intelligent
medical direction, and have no doubt often
saved the lives of patients in extreme de-
bility and danger.
But it is false and ridiculous for DR..
Chapman and the Prog. Age to profess
that the wonderful discovery has been
made that whiskey and milk are specifics
in diphtheria and ship fever, or can be
usefully administered as the outset Of the
disorders. Neither is it true, as asserted
by the Ages physician Of the new alco-
holic faith. that drunkard has immunity
from diphtheria. Medical men believe
that people can better protect themselves
from disease than by guzzling whiskey.
They would be more likely to become
unhealthy, physically, mentally and NOR
ally

The movement in favor of restoring

The movement in favor of restoring
strength in Congress. The southern and
western members favor it almost in a
solid body, arguing that the wealth of
the country should contribute large
portion of the tax needed for the support
of the government that protects it, and
not forgetting, doubtless, that the great
bulk of the wealth of the country is in
the east But, nevertheless, the tax itself
cannot be collected without making into
the business and private affairs of the
citizen inquisitorial search, and the con-
sequent compelled revelation of matters
which are of right his secrets.

Our neighbor the Prog. Age does not
take kindly our suggestions concerning
milk punch; not near so kindly, prob
ably, as he would the compound itself
He even attempts to throw ridicue upon
our suggestions that his whiskey and milk
prescriptions may be much more palata-
bic, saying
Nobody but an old tippler would know how to
mix so tempting a dram We should
suppose the Journal editor was an old bar tender
We fear that our neighbor is far from
comprehending the whole duty of an ed
itor toward his readers and the public.
He is expected to be source of inform
alton upon all subjects that interest the
| human family, and to impart from his
stores OF knowledge to satisfy every de-
mand. Many editors make public their
readiness to answer through their columns
the queries of correspondents in all de-
partments Of human knowledge There
is our brother Emery, of the Bangor Com
mercial, man of great and varied in
formation who is conducting depart
ment in which he challenges inquiry upon
any subject from the component parts of
the mince pie to calculations Of the orbit
Of planet And yet the enthusiastic
promulgator of the new school of medi-
cine would rush upon patients with a
bottle of whiskey and pail of milk, re-
CARELESS of the delicate proportions of a
milk punch He even intimates that we
have guilty knowledge of the mixture and
consumption Of alcoholic drinks. 1t is
very evident that our neighbor will never
emulate the learning Of the admirable
Critchton, who travelled from city to city,
challenging questioners to test his knowl-
edge upon all subjects, and confounding
all disputants. Truly, "a little knowledge
is dangerous thing"
