"bugs" of 1876, made a serious mis- ak [.

IT has been many summers since such
a large proportion Of our people re-
manned at home as are now here. There
are several reasons for this. First OF
all, and the principal one, is the neces.
sity for economy. People are compelled to
economize, and one OF the easiest ways 10
do 1t is to forego the expensive summer
trip. Then, the season has been d very
pleasant one in the city. We have had
no scorching. days and sultry nights,
and many persons who lett for short
visits to the country returned earlier
than they intended, because OF the
pleasant weather. We have another
reason for our people remaining at
home in the many delightful places oi
resort that have been established in and
about the city. On warm evenings oul
hilltop resorts swarm with people who
have heretofore spent the summer away.
but who, on account Of the opportuni'
ties for enjoyment. offered in this city
prefer to remain at home. These, we
believe, are the chief causes, but,
whether or not, it is true that not more
than half the usual number of our peo
pie are summering at distance.

He spoke to her with manly word
With honest speech and slow:
She felt she loved him as she heard,
But yet she answered "NO."
She saw him rise, she saw him stand,
AS staggering from blow;
She could have kissed his trembling hand,
But still she answered "No."
And so he goes-to come no more!
But let him only go,
Her voice will call him from the door,.

The Russian manifesto setting forth the
reasons why she Is compelled to go to
war with Turkey Is given to the world
thi. morning by the Crar. It's spec.

real designs Of the Muscovite autocrat in
the struggle now commenced. The whole
responsibility is put upon Turkey, and

OF conquest. And while England dare
not, a' the .,slIuation now stand', take
sides, yet she is bound to keep a sharp
look out on Russia's advance towards
Constantinople.
1t il not impossible that the war will
be short, sharp and decisive and wholly
confined to Roumania and the Turkish
provinces. The Russians are already in
Rlumania and have advanced as far as
Bucharest. Taking into account the
natural sympathies OF such provinces as
Servia and Bulgaria in favor Of Russia,

which had been referred to the Budget
Committee came up for discussion. The
increased grant for los new captaincies
gave rise to protracted debate. Gen.
Won Malike insisted on the necessity OF
the grant, He said be wished for long
peace, but the times did not permit such
hope. On the contrary, the time was
not far distant when every government
would be compelled to strain It's strength

lor this was regretiul distrust Of the
governments towards each other. France

to compensate for it. The increased

Further Advance in Ihc Brend
stuff Markets.

Tho quotations for wheat, -four, corn
aud pork are again materially higher this
morning, owing to the fact that the last
decisive step has been taken by Russia
against Turkey. The war is now no long
er matter Of doubt but dNed fact. The
speculators are therefore disposed TO
boost thing, while they car, They are
already, we should judge, very near to the
topot the excitement, and reaction i5
not by any means impossible within n
short time.
There arc two or three points to be
borne in mind in the war between Russia
and Turkey. One is that the armies are
already we'll supplied for the present.
Next, Russia is not going to be invaded
and will therefore continue TO raise large
e'op'of wheat. Still further, England is
PFelIywell supplied at this time, and by
the time any pressing need is experienced
our new crop Of wheat will be in market
seeking customers.
The immediate effect, therefore, OF the
war ia to lay consumers in our country
under tribute. The city Of Wheeling, in
smonth's time, will be many thousands
of dollars poorer because Of this large nd.
vance in breadstuH4. Every family is
now compelled to pay two dollars more
per barrel for flour than they paid a
month ago, and that without CORE.
spending advance in any articles OF
manufacture or in the prices OF labor, by
means Of which the balance Of trade
could be maintained. Unless the war
lasts many months, and takes wider
range than it now promises to take, it ia
not easy to see wherein an iron msnufac-
turing; community in this country can
get Its money back,
In New York the feeling in Wall
street yesterday seemedto have been one
otconsiderable buoyancy, the idea being
that the carrying trade Of the railroads
will be largely increased, and at more
profitable rates, by reason of the war.
This is probably an evane3cept reaction,
and is more matter OF Imagination than
sound judgment. The season of Lake
navigation ia now open, and the carrying
trade has many avenues to the seaboard.
We need not therefore look for much
change inthat way.
In view Of the fact that the price of
cotton and petroleum is not likely TO be
improved by the war, nor the profits in
iron manufacture increased, We way we'll
doubt whether We shall be materially
benefited by the outbreak.
