in his letter of acceptance thus alludes to the
question Of the hour: 1--WE arc now passing
through crisis in our commercial if not

seeking to adjust their respective rights; this
adjustment will require most thoughtful con.

THE CONFLICT IN THE EOLD WORLD.

A careful review of the military situa-
ton would seem to indicate that the Russians
have been rapidly concentrated and the posi-.
tions on the Yantra are now chosen as the
centre Of their movements. Reports are cur.
rent at Bucharest that Mehemet Ali with CO.
600 men has arrived at Osman Bazarsma1ler.
Russian detachment is retreating before him.
Vehement Ali is trying to effect junction
with Osman Pasha, but cannot accomplish
this without giving battle in open field. The
.::ussians are waiting for such an opportunity
most impatiently. The Cossacks on the an.
proach Of Suleiman Pasha's ecouts fell back
toward the river Tictc, which shows that the
Russian corps which on July q held Tiete

Solomon and the Tame Bear.

Uncle Return was farmer; and he had
a great many cattle, sheep, horses, pigs,
geese and turkeys, all of which you know:
are usually found on large farm; and,
beside these, he had one animal not usu-
ally found on farm, and that was
tame bear. He hired large boy to do
the "chores," as the easy part OF farm work
is called; and the boys name was Solo,
mon Sturtevant.
Now, although the bear was tame, he
was kept chained; for there was no know
ing what mischief even tame bear
might take it into his head to do. He
might take notion to find out how nice
tender pig would taste.
Solomon thought it fine sport to tease
the bear, and there was one way of doing
it more amusing than any other, and
that was to pelt him with green chestnut
burs.
Chestnut-burs, you know, are covered
with sharp thorns; and yet the bear, be-
ing very fond of chestnuts, would try to
get at the nuts which he knew were in
demonstrating and whining, and making
up very comical faces because the burs
pricked his mouth.
Solomon would stand and watch him,
and think it fine fun. But he came near
doing it too often; for one day, when he
had carried the bear a capful of burs, in.
tending to have good laugh at him, the
chain that held the bear was not fastened
as firmly as usual. After trying two or
three burs the bear made a spring toward
Solomon, got loose from his chain and
started after him in earnest.
Solomon was not long in deciding that
he had something to do that time, beside
laughing, and started in a hurry to get
out Of the bears way. Now there was a
ladder leaning against the side Of the
barn close by, and Solomon thought that

A Few Words to Girls.

A well-bred girl will not laugh and talk
so loudly that she will attract attention
and cause annoyance. Conversation,
when carried on in public conveyances,
should not, as rule, be keyed so high
that different strangers can hear the whole
Of it. Nor will you let yourselves talk
about your friends or associates, mention
ing their names, and talking of their en-
gagements, their foiblcs or their eccentric
tiles. Family affairs should not be dis
cussed in loud and animated way where
all the world is privileged to take notes.
Let me illustrate my meaning. One day
not long ago sat in car and heard,
quite against my will, the details of a
domestic quarrel, related with evident
zest and satisfaction by two good-looking
young women. Finally one said, with
an air almost Of triumph: "You know
what pretty girl Harriet was and how
nicely she used to dress7 Well, she's per-
fectly ho'rid now; you never would know
her! And she's growing so old and plain
My mother says it's no wonder her hus-
band is ashamed to be seen with her."

One of the important matters which
