EUROPE.
The Eastern Question,

LONDON, January 4. A dispatch from Constsr-
tinople last evening says apprehensions of . rup-
ture continue to diminish. 1t Seems probable
from the more conclatory feeling now prevalent
that the Porte will not eject the proposals of the
powers. The plenipotentiaries also seem disposed
to make further light concessions. If these An
ticipatioRs are realized negotiations will be re-
sumed tomorrow, and it is believed q pacific solu-
ton of the Eastern question may yet be looked
for.

Political Matters.
BUCHEREsT January t. In the Chamber OF
Deputies last night, the President Of the Council
assured the Chamber that the government would
not rest until the Porte declared in as formal a
manner as the new constitution was proclaimed
that Roumania does not form = part of Turkey
The Chamber resolved not to ad journ for the Gus
tomsry New Years recess. Article one of the
new Turkish constitution declared that the Otto
man Empire, including its privileged provinces
forms an indivhibe unity from which no portions
can ever on any grounds be detached. Article
relates TO the Sultans Sovereign rights of invest
ure of rulers of the privileged provinces.

as had Intended.
Ii you Will allow me space in your colu ms,
would like to draw the sttention Of your readers
to subject which | consider Of very great i'm
poIt2nce Th. matter has been mentioned by
ADLER pens than can WELD, but we are told that
continual dropping will wear away stone, y
and possibly what | may be led to say can add
SO me influence.
What have to write is in relation to the text
books used in schools. 1t seems to Inc that
teachers may be able to appreciate in some degree
the enormous tax levied upon some families in con-
sequence of the frequent changes made In text
books.
A case was brought to INV notice but a few days
since. An intelligent lady came TO HE stating
that her children had recently been provided with
full sets of books, for in their several schools,
aud that change was TO be made immediately
This change, In the case of one OF tue children,
would neoessitate the purchase of three books, al
an average cost of ninety cents each. The lady
assured me that she was absolutely unable to pro-
cure the books required without mourning debt.
The question resolves itself into these three
points Snail the lady TO whom reference is made,
remove her children from school shall the DOCKS
be purchased at the sacrifice of some home COM
fort, or shall an onerous debt be incurred
/ am perfectly certain that the case have men
toned is not a solitary one, but is simply one OF a
large number which might be named.
The proper place for this subject TO be first pre-
scnted, in my opinion, is at the Educational Con-
venton, for many Of our teachers, am confident,
during the years of preparation for their life
work, have felt that the large sum required for
books might have been expended more to their
satisfaction.
This difficulty to which l have alluded has
been obv lated in many cities by having the books
purchased and held as public property, aud loaned
to the pupils as needed. This is it should be.
The school buildings are owned by the public,
why should not the books be owned in the same
way The change in books should not depend up
the epSs dirit of one man, or one set of men,
where all the citizens are equally interested
If no books could be purchased in any case
without the consent of the city government, and
our city fathers brought to realize how large
an amount is sometimes unnecessarily expended
for this purpose, the evil would be remeded.
Books for use in schools would not be
adopted until after careful examination by COM
peteut judges, and having once been selected,
would not, now, be discarded for any frivolous
pretext. A CITIZEN.

How TO Cook Oysters.

If milk is used it should be in the pro-
portion OF one quart of milk and one quart
of water to each quart of oysters. If only
water is used, three pints to a quart of oys-
tiers is as much as can be used without in
juring the flavor of the broth. Put the milk
and water in an enameed, or thoroughly
cleaned brass kettle, over good fire. When
it begins to boil, put into it one pulverized
cracker and one tablespoonful of -four for
each quart of oysters. Let it boil one min
ute, to cook the flour, and then pour in the
oysters. Stir, to keep from burning and
when it boils up once in the middle, remove
it from the fire. Add butter, salt and pep
per, after it is pat in the tureen, as butte
tastes oily il boiled in water, and salt shriy-
els the oysters if put in when cooking. The
secret of success is to have quick fire. SC
there shall be no simmering, and to remove
the kettle the very moment its contents reach
the actual boiling point.
