LONDON, May 1.-THE Times CORE
spondent at Paris, says that President
MacMahon's letter to Jules Simon, which
caused the latter to tender his resigna
tion,. is one of the most serious, and per-
haps most fatal, events since the fall of

Councils, which are charged with the du-
ty of electing Senators, must soon be re-

leading this conspiracy found themselves

EUROPEAN WAR.
A Great Battle Imminent on the Banks Of
the Danube.

New York, May ia special to the
Times from Giurgero says, f" A great bat
tie is impending, and already heavy can
days the Russians have been conccntra-
ting large force at this point preparato-
ry to a forced passage of the Danube.
The army is in fine condition and good
spirit. Opposite the Russians, at Rust
chuck, the Turks are are in strong force.
That they will resist our advance is GER
tain and to morrow, or the day after, may
witness bloody struggle. The infantry
force is present in great numbers, and rs
! write, are on the march, while great
activity prevails in all departments ofthe
army. Severe musketry firing is heard
on the other side of the Danube already.
Turkish monitors are hurrying toward
the spot and the more advanced ones
are taking positions in front of or near
to the point where the Russians are to
lay their pontoon bridges to night. The
scene on the Danube is indeed magnifi-
cent. Shells are bursting in the air, and
camp-fres lend enchantment to the scene
and signal rockets ascend and fall and
tell the story of the advancing forces.
The cannonading grows heavier and
heavier, and at this rate it will not take
long to destroy Rustchuck. This place
is the weakest in the Turkish quadran-
gle of fortresses. Further down the
river the sky is reddened by the flames
of the burning Turtukia. The town has
been fred by the Russian guns in Often
itza. 1t will be comparative easy for the
Russians to cross at that point. The
headquarters of the left wing are still at
Ibrail. News has just reached us that
Matschia, some five miles distant from
that point, has just been set on fire by
the Russian artillery" M t#tsF

Packard's Scheme.

An attempt by the New York Tribune
to show that the Louisiana question was
properly settled on basis that gave the
electoral vote to Republican president,
and the popular vote to Democratic
governor, has drawn from Packard re-
ply, in which he shows that, on the ad-
missions made by the Tribune, Tilden
was elected President. The Tribune had
said :" 1t was quite on the cards that the
returning board, which cared moro for
the state administration than it did for
the presidency, should push the rejection
of votes beyond all reasonable limits for
the sake of fastening Mr.. Packard to
President Hayes coat-tails. In point of
fact, the honest vote for Hayes, in Loui-
ana, seems to have been considerably
heavier than the vote for Republican
state officers" In reply, Packard says j:
These statements reverse the facts. The
honest vote for Hayes, in Louisiana,
was not heavier than the vote for Re-
publican state officers. Six Of the Hayes
presidential electors fell behind their
ticket, and two of them narrowly escap-
ed defeatp He adds
"The scrutiny proposed by the Tri.
bune, if carried into full effect, would
give the highest Tilden elector majori-
les over Hayes electors as follows: Over
Joseph, 1902; Sheldon, 1895 Marks,
l,274 Levissee, 1922, Brewster, 1882;
and Joffrion, s96. And that even the
lowest Tilden elector Poche) would have
maiorities over Hayes electors, as fol-
lows Over Joseph. 1918; Sheldon, l.
2ll Marks, 299 Levissoe, 73S Brow
ster 649, and Joffrion, 5lS.
"The insinuation that the returning
board, pushed the rejection OF votes be-
yond all reasonable limits for the sake of
fastening Mr.. Packard to Mr.. Hayes
coat-tails, is curiously at variance with
actual facts. .l=
"If the canvass had been restricted to
the nine parishes named by the Tribune,
the result would have been the election
of Nichols and Tilden.'
Packard's scheme, here disclosed, of
proving, from Republican figures, that
Tiden was elected President, attracts no
little attention. Is it possible that it dis
closes the real point of attack which the
Republican implacables intend to make
on the administration ? Are they pre-
pairing to charge that Mr.. Hayes is an
usurpcr! 1t would be singular phase
of American politics, if Republicans, af-
ter doing all they could to put a Repub-
lican president in Office, should then turn
round and take up the Democratic quar-
rel, and attempt to depose him on the
ground that they had put him into office
by fraud.--&. Louis Republican.

Strangled With Her Own Hair.

Guy Lin, Chinese girl, living on
Spofford alley, near Clay street, was
strangled to death about 8 o'clock this
morning, her murderer being her lever,
YIN All Tung. At the time mentioned
Yin Guy, a woman living in the room
next to that of the deceased, heard the
sound of an alteration and the threat.
" If you don't I'll lick you, I'll kill You. y
Immediately following there was strug-
gle, a moaning, gurgling sound for a
moment, then all was still. The woman
ran out of the house and informed the
police. Upon visiting the room the girl
was found dead upon the floor, her face
black, her tongue protruding and her
cue of long, thick black hair twisted
in several folds about her neck and
drawn tight. Search was immedistely
instituted for the murderer, but as he
is not well known to the police some
trouble is expected in finding him.

What Registered Letters Are.

An exchange says: "The question is
very often asked, What is the difference
between registered letter and any other !?
The difference is that registered letter
does not go i'll the mail proper. 1t passes
from hand to hand outside of the mail
pouches, every person through whose
hands it passes being required to sign II
receipt for it on receiving it, and secure
a receipt for it on passing it over to the
next transit. The person holding the
last receipt is thus always able to show
who is accountable for its loss. The re-
sponsibility rests upon the man who has
signed a receipt for the registered pack
age and who is not able to produce the
package or a receipt from somebody else
for it. The safest way to send money is
by money order. Where it does not go
to money-order Office, it should always
be sent i'll a registered package. Money
ought not to be sent in an ordinary letter
under any circumstances. There is no
possible way of tracking such letter. "

Artificial Butter.

If we have to eat artificial butter, it is
gratifying to know that it can now be
made equal in flavor, texture and odor to
the best butter made from cream. There
are several manufactures in this city and
Brooklyn which turn out many tons of
this product weekly, and well-known
chemist of this city recently declared
that, while he had no doubt that more
than half the butter consumed in New
York was artificially made, he conscien-
tiously believed that it was quite as good
as butter made i'll the dairy, and often
much better. The imitation is made of
suet, which, after being thoroughly
washed, is reduced to oil at low tenn
perature; to each 100 pounds of oil some
twenty pounds of sour milk are added,
and the two substances are churned, half
an ounce of bicarbonate of soda and two
or three tablespoonful of solution of
annotto being thrown into the mixture.
The product of this churning is allowed
to come in contact with ice, and is again
churned with more sour milk. After
fifteen minutes agitation, the solidified
oil takes up a certain percentage of the
milk, as well as its flavor and odor, and
the butter is ready for the market. An
analytical chemist of this city, who has
prepared and published a pamphlet on
the manufacture of artificial butter, fur
nishes number of analyses, including
those of artificial and genuine butter.
OF the fats, including olein, palmitine,
stearine, butyrine, ETC., artificial butter
contains 80 per cent. cream butter, Sc
per cent. The most perceptible differ
ence in the constituents of the two
products is in the matter of salt, of which
artificial butter contains 5.225 per cent,
and the genuine article 151 per cent.
OF coloring matter there is trace in the
artificially-prepared compound. The per-
centage of salt, it is said, may be aug
mented or reduced to suit the taste and
requirements of the public. 1t is claimed
for the counterfeit butter that it does not
become rancid so quickly as dairy but
ter, and that it can be made much more
cheaply. York JVOrld.

Two Irreooncilable Conditions.

Debility and health are irreconcilable condi-
tons. Weakly people, that is 10 say, people
who lack the vitality requisite for a vigorous
discharge of each and all of the bodily func-
tons, are invariably afflicted with some, though
it may be trifing, disorder Of the system.
Atony, or want Of nervous and muscular
vigor, is accompanied by poverty Of the blood
and leanness. A certain way to overcome it and
prevent the aggravated maladies to which it
must ultimately lead is to use Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters which promote digestion and
assimilation of the food, and thus are the
means Of furnishing the body with supply Of
blood of quality essential to its proper nour-
ishment. Inauguration through the instru-
mentality of the matchless tonic protects the
feeble from a host Of bodily ills which lurk in
an article which it is most desirable to keep
constantly on hand

Then he rose from his chair, and his face

by the time 1 had finished, he was sitting

said

the enemy had well covered his retreat,
and had not left me morsel more of tri-
umph than he could help.
However, my object was accomplished,
therefore l fastened to meet Staining.
He.was not at the appointed place, and,
after waiting some time, went to his
lodging. 1t was in shabby house,
in by-street, not easy to find. The
landlady told me Mr.. Staining had come
in an hour ago, and was in his bedroom
not very well, she thought. She and l
went up together, and knocked more
than once. Then l went in. Poor Stain
ing was lying on the bed, dead. My
first misgivings were happily not con-
firmed. His enfeebled frame had been
unable to withstand the recent wear-and-
tear, and now he was beyond the reach
of his follies and his troubles.
