All, but the place was sweetl
About her mossy seat
Breathed spicy fern and dark, delicious bloom
OF violets; sweeter 10 his soul her kiss,
Her arms that clasped him In the fragrant gloom,
Her sigh OF timid bliss!
Discrowned awhile, his brow upon her breast
Forgot its burden dear he was and blessed.
Perchance she whispered this
Twas all she knew and yet no king more wise
Than he lives sceptred In mems memories!

Admiral y. y. Porter, of the United
States navy, in % recent interview on
the Eastern question, expressed his
opinion that the Turks would very pro-
badly whip the Russians. and spoke in
terms of the deepest admiration of the
Turkish navy. which he admitted to be
by Englishmen. It Is true. as Admiral
Porter says, that the Turks have forti-
fed the Dardanelles.and the Bosphorus
In the highest style of the art of fortiti-
cation. Russia evidently does not in
tend to advance by that way just yet.
Her strongest methods of assault will
be through Roumania or Germany does
not interdict that passage) and by way
of the Caucasus and Persia. Her pre-
parations in this direction are very cost
ly and elaborate. There Is little doubt
Of the existence OF a treaty between
Russia and Nassr-ed- Din, the Persian
monarch, providing for Persia's aid in
the struggle with Turkey. The assault
on the Turkish Asiatic frontier will be
vigorous one, and cannot be resisted by
the Sultan. The Persian army has
been under the tutelage Of General Bull
ler, French officer, and General Adri
enne, an Italian, and has recently been
provided with needle guns and mitrail-
leuses. The fact that Persia last week
demanded the cession Of Bagdad, in
Mesopotomia, from Sultan Hamid,
shows the true inwardness Of Russa's
game. The Gar has probably promised
Nassr-ed-D Din some additional territory
for his services. The Turkish Asiatic
army Is under the command of Murtar
Pasha, whose repeated attempts to re-
yictual Niksiki have become a matter
of history.

New York, April 1.-THE following
letter Is now made public for the first
time. AS will be seen, 1T was written on
the day OF the Inauguration OF Presi-
dent Hays:
Boston, March 5, 1877.
To Hon. s. J. Tilden:
M Dear Sir-On this day, when you
ought to have been President OF the
United States, I seize the opportunity
to bear my testimony to the calm and
dignified manner In which you have
passed through this great trial. 1t Is
many years since / ceased to be party
man hence I have endeavored to Judge
of public affairs and men rather by
their merits than by the name they
take. 1t Is source OF qualification to
me to think that l made the right choice
in the late election. could never have
been reconciled to elevation by the
smallest aid OF mine Of person, how
ever respectable in private life, who
must forever carry upon his brow the
stamp of frauds first triumph in Ameri-
can history. No subsequent action.
however meritorious, can wash away
the letters OF that record.
Very respectfully,
CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS.

THE APPROACHING WAN.
Adinfral Porter and Gen. sherman's
Views,
New York World, April l2.l

New York Wotli, April 12.l
Admiral Porter was found in his office
to-day examining charts and maps OF
the probable scenes OF conflict, and in
reply to an inquiry said.
This war promises to be the most gi-
gantie and important TO Europe. and
even to the United States, that has
taken place. It will be great religious
war. and the consequences can only be
surmised. The idea Of some of the
newspapers that Turkey is going TO be
whipped out Ia a day is mistaken one
The Russians will never capture Con-
stantinople. 1t is not In the power OF
their army or navy; 1t Is Of very little
consequence In contrast with what 1t Is
required to accomplish. They have
about thirty iron. clads and 244 vessels
OF war OF other kinds. They have 40,-
900 men In their navy and about 1856
guns.
The navy, however, makes little DIFF
ference on either side. This war, rs be-
tween Russia and Turkey, is going to be
In the main land fight. The Turks
have twenty splendid iron -clads, with
eighty-four other good and substantial
war vessels. They have 1918 guns and
3a,e0o men. For the defensive this Is q
good navy. They have the great forts
OF the Dardanelles, all along from Its
mouth up to Gallipolis. Here they also
have chains, torpedo boats. their iron
clads, sunken hulks and other obstruc-
tions. The Russians have to pass
through these to Gallipolis. thence into
the Sea of Marmora, and then they will
have to fight their way up through the
torpedoes, iron-clads, ETC., to the Bos-
phorus. As they pass by CONSTANT
nople up the Bosphorus, they have
twenty miles of forts to encounter, and
having passed these they are In the
Black Sea. You see, sir, this fight is by
no means to be all on the side of the
Russians. They have no fleet in the
Black Sea. When Sebastopola was de-
stroyed and their great fleets blown up
and sunken, and their navy yards de-
stroyed on the Black Sea, that settled
their fleets In that locality, and the
European powers have forbidden them
ever since to rebuild in that locality.
The Russians have a fne army, we'll
disciplined, well officered, and doubt
less their arms, guns and supplies are
of the first class. They are not CON-
mencing this fight for sentiment sake
Tt is the hope of their lives; and they
are now arrived at the point when
the Emperor will be able to get
every man and every dollar his
psople have, so as to win the great
contest Of the nation. 1t will be no
use, though, as it will end in disaster.
The Turks are thoroughly aroused.
From one end of their vast empire to
the other, the Mussulmans are crowd
ing together by the tens OF thousands,
and already the religious fanaticism OF
the Turks Is discernible. just think OF
0,0O0, 600 OF people! They will give
