DAVID NJ. KEY,
The Eastern Quarrel.

BERLIN, March 6.-The National
Gazette publishes what it claims is an
authentic COMMUNICATION, derived from
a. intimate friend of Gen. Ignatief, in
the course OF which it is said that the
prevalent opinion in ST. Petersburg is
that Turkey, despairing of obtaining
al aIlianee agains; Russia, will consent
to the concessions which are demanded.
Russia will, If possible, avoid war; but
if it is unavoidable, will prosecute it
with the utmost energy, and hopes the
other Powers will observe friendly
neutrality.
LONDON, March Ga Times dis
patch from Vienna says: "It seems
that the formula for an answer to ths
Russian circular has been found, and
that II is one which all the Powers can
agree SO tha. their answer will be iden-
teal in esseuce, if not in form-far
from containing anything which might
induce Rass,a to consider the harmony
S, ..sol essls ID a tie conference at an
end, and this inducing her to take an
independent course. The answer is to
be warm European recognition of all
the efforts and sacrifices made by Rus
sia for the Christians in Turkey. If
these efforts have not quite had the
desired effect, the Powers seem to be
willing to take their share of the ILL
success of the conference, so there is
no reason for Russia to consider her
dignity more compromised than that of
the rest of Europe. 1t will be pointed
ou. that despite the failure of the con-
ference, efforts have not been fruitless.
There is peace with Seryia, and it may
be hoped with Montenegro; also that
the Porte has recognized the necessity
of the reforms advocated by the Pow
ers, and has been reused from it's torpor
and lethargy. The lion share of these
successes is to be awarded to Russia in
the answer of the Powers, so that Rus
STA will be able to point to the recog.
milton of her success by all Europe to
obviate domestic pressure. How far
this satisfaction, coupled as it will be
with the refusal to take any further
sseps, will 80 to make Russia Withdraw
seems very doubtful, but it is hoped
that it will serve as thread for fur
ther negotiations, with which General
Ignatieffs tour is doubtless connected"

A WASHINGTON special says an ap-
plication was received at the Dead
Letter Office quite recently, from Mr..
Palmer Gardner, Of Burlin gton, Racine
county, Wis, for letter mailed to him
in 1885. This letter contained GER
ti6cate Of deposit for $3.50, issued by
the Onondaga Bank, Syracuse, N. Y /,
and was sent from there in October of
the year mentioned by William N.
Gardner to his brother, Palmer Gard
ner, at "Detroit, Michigan Territory.
Not being claimed at Detroit, it was
sent to the Dead-Letter Office, and
thence back to the Postmaster at SYRIA
cuse, who. being unable to find the
sender, returned it to the Dead.Letter
Office again, where it lay undisturbed
in the dusty files until the Centennial
Exhibition. It was then conveyed,
with other curiosities of the Dead
Letter Office, to Philadelphia, and
there CHANGED to be seen by an ac-
quaintance of Mr.. Gardner, who in
formed him of his discovery, and thus
after the lapse of more than forty years
the letter reached its destination. Tn.
postage on the letter when it was first
mailed from Syracuse was twenty-one
cents.

NJ D. CONWAY thus describes Queen
Victoria's appearance at the opening
Of Parliament:
1.-The herald proclaims the approach
of her Majesty. Whatever may be
said of Victoria, she may certainly be
entitled the punctual Queen. In all
her reign she has never been known to
be one second behind time. It is said
that on every occasion she gets ready
and stands for ten minutes waiting just
inside the door, and while the clock is
striking the hour appointed for starting
moves out to her coach. As she enters
the House of Lords, all rise up; the
mighty rustling is succeeded by pre-
ternatural stiffness, amid which she
moves to her throne. She is not, as
all admit, handsome, but she is erect,
stately and simple. The Kohinoor
shines on her forehead, and its lustre
| is not lowered by any inferior acces-
sories of fnery. From a point near
the throne, on the steps of it, the
Chamberlain reads her speech Git is a
pity she will not read it herself.
Then she descends, kisses the prin-
cesses, gives her hand to be kissed by
the princes, and with graceful bow to
the ladies and lords, moves ont. Sc
ends the tableau of ancient Germany
The curtain falls and Salic law resume.

A RAPID penman can write thirty
words In minute. To do this be
must draw his quill through the space
Of rod-sixteen feet and half. In
forty minutes his pen travels furlone
and in five hours and third, a mile.
We make On an average sixteen curves
or turns Of the pen in writing each
word. Writing thirty words minute
we must make 4S8 to each second; in
an hour, % 800; in a day of only FIVE
hours, IA, ,O0O, and in a year of 800
pays, 100000. The man who made
1000, 900 strokes was not at all re-
markable. Many men, newspaper men.
for instance, make 100000 Here
we have, in the aggregate, mark 800
miles long, to be traced on paper by
each writer in year In making each
letter of the aJpabet, we must make
from three to seven strokes of the pen
ON an average, three and a half to
four. How much better, therefore,
would it be to dispense with the pres
ent unwieldy and tedious form Of
writing, and adopt the photographic
system, in which lines and curyes rep
resent consonau.s and Cots voveis; and
by which skilled writer can write as
high as 200 words minute.

New Hampshire.

New Hampshire held its State
election Tuesday March 18th. AGoy-
ernor, various State officers and threr
Congressman are to be elected. Al
Eastern exchange says:
at last accounts the voters of the
Granite State were more concerned Il,
know who is to be President than wiz,
is to be governor. The campaign has
so far been conducted with little spiru
on either side. The Republicans, how
ever, are thought to have a more thor
ough organization than the Democrats
Moreover, they rely on the moral force
and weight Of decision in favor of
the Republican candidate for Prosidens
more than On anything else. It is no.
strange, possibly, that both parties
should lock away from local issues IL
the grand result in the nation. This
year, so far as we can see, there are no
local questions at stake in New Hamp-
shire. Each party hopes for the tri-
umph Of its candidate. The Republi.
cans, 1t is clear, were ready to give up
whenever they found that Tilden was
to be counted in. Now that the alarms
is over, it is confidently expected thar
Prescott will carry the State by
handsome majority, and that two of the
three Congressman, at least, will be
Republicans.

ccmplished during his Congressional
career was the introduction of what
was known as the McCrary Railway
bill, an instrument founded upon The
same principle as the Illinois law,
which in many respects it resembled
closely.
