We have news Of serious battle between
the Turkish and Russian armies at Batouna,
on the southeastern shore OF the Black Sea,
son Turkish territory. The account says that
tho Russians on Friday last attacked the
Batoum, and after /. severe contest Of eight
hours were driven off with great loss of men
sand material Of war. This is a report from
an English correspondent, and not from either
of the combatants. One battle like this does
not betoken the result of a campaign or of an
international struggle, and its chief effect
will probably be the snerving of Russia to
more weighty efforts in the field. The ques-
tiqp that most concerns outsiders Is how many
other nations are likely to be drawn into the
strife.

A SENSIBLE SOUTHERN DEMocRAT--
HAYES TITLE.--The question is asked by
that agitating paper, the New York Sun !:
" Ii Hayes title any better than Packard's ?n
This il a very foolish and factious question to
ask. OF course, Hayes title though given to
him as it was, is not only better than Pack
ards, but tits absolute and complete to all
intents and purposes, and cannot be overturn-
ed by any tribunal III the land. And this
fact is so simply because Mr.. Hayes was count
ed in by the high commission appointed by
the two houses of Congress, and by the two
parties of the country, to do that thing !;
whereas Packards case was never passed on
by that commission at all, nor by any other
high State or Federal court. This continued
talk on the part of a few papers about a
+" fradulen. " and de facto y President is all
nonsense. Unless both houses of Congress
which appointed the commission arc to COUNT
ed as ;. FRAUDULENT and do facto bodies, and
the commission itself to be placed in the
same category, then the charge cannot be
justly imputed to Hayes as President He
certainly had no agency in appointing him.
self, and the fraud practiced by the commits
sion cannot be fairly laid to his account; and
If the decision of that commission was made
to be final, as it was, then Mr.. Hayes title is
de jssse as well as de fdcto and it is all folly to
talk otherwise. Petersburg Va Post

The PERMANENT ExHIBITIoN.--The Per-
manent or International Exhibition was for
mally opened on the Centennial Grounds at
Philadelphia, last Thursday, with ceremonies
of the most imposing and interesting charac-
ter. The number of distinguished persons
present, was even greater than at the open
ing Of the Centennial last year, there being an
ex-President as we'll as a President among
them, together with a large proportion Of the
most prominent people in all departments Of
life in the country. The invited guests also
included the elite of Philadelphia ew York,
Baltimore and Washington society, and the
grand stand presented such galaxy of beau-
ty and fashion as is never seen except at a
Presidential Inauguration or u Worlds Fair.
The crowd of people in attendance was enor-
nous, and actually seemed larger, from being
all packed in one building, than year ago
We should think that the admissions Of the
day were not mech less than 10000 The
ceremonies included grand music by The organ
and vast orchestra, opening prayer by Bishop
Stevens, the proclamation of President Hayes
declaring the Exhibition open, addresses by
Hon John Welsh, and by Hon. A. r. Goshorn,
Whittier's Centennial Hymn, and the bene-
diction by Bishop Simpson. Between every
part Of the exercises there was music, COM
prising the rendition of the Festival Overture,
the t'horal Angel Of Peace" the Halelu-
jah Chorus, &c. Tremendous applause greet
ed the appearances Of President Hayes, ex-
President Grant, Senator Blaine, and several
other distinguished persons. ~
The Exhibition makes very grand and in
teresting display. For days visit it is even
more Instructive aud interesting than the gi-
gantic show Of last year. The exhibits are
now all included in the Main Building, there
being selection Of some of the best from
each of tho other buildings, besides great
many new and very striking features. The
Permanent Exhibition is something for the
nation to be proud of. ~

VINO rs SAFEe--In the city Of A. there was
an aristoclatioand wealthy family, comprising
the parents daughter OF twenty-five and
a son Of nineteen years of age. The family
had been large, but sons and daughters had
passed away and only this daughter and son
were left.
Edward --- was the idol OF his home.
The father was proud of his gifted son. To
the mother he was very precious because Of
the intense love he bestowed cpon her. To
the sister he was companion and contidaut.
He frequently spent an evening at pleas
ant and fashionable hotel near his home,
where young men of his own circle gathered
Occasionally they took glass wine Two.
young men, one twenty-six the other twenty
eight, took rooms at the hotel Edward 49,
and his friends met those young men in the
reading room and saloons, and soon they be-.
came interested in the strangers. They SEEM
ed to have plenty of money and were generous
in using it. They usually offered wine to
Edward aud his friends. Although so much
older than he, yet they seemed greatly inter
ested in him, showed him great attention and
kindness. One evening they were very en-
tertaining and succeeded in OBTAINING Edward
until the others had left and then proposed
taking another glass of wine before they Sc
parated.
When the morning dawned Edward was
conveyed to the city Jail and the two men who
had been so genial and popular at the hotel
could not be found. The morning papers re-
ported "a great robbery a son of one of the
ywealthest families in the city captured
put his hceomplice escaped. III
Several daring robberies had within short
time previous produced much excitement
throughout the city. and there was q deter
mination to punish the guilty parties if they
could be found. There was great surprise ex-
pressed that this young man could have taken
part in such thing, yet the proof seemed SO
clear that he was participation. that he was
fuund guilty and sentenced to two years i'm
prisonment at Sing Sing.
Ere the trial closed the father was taken
i'll Of fever and a few days after the son was
taken to Sing Sing, he died.
Six weeks after Edward was entered at
Sing Sing, the physician entered the Wardens
office and said" That youth from A, in cell
So is dying, and he ought not to be here.
don't believe ho knows any more about that
robbery than you or do Said tho Warden
" What is the matter? did not know he
was sick"
The physician said" do not mean that
he will die to-day or tomorrow, but he will
live but few weeks
A few days after Il letter came stating, that
two men in q neighboring city had been ar
rested and there was no doubt but they were
the parties who committed the robbery in
A. aud in few days the Governor
would pardon Edward -
The day after this letter came, he was too
III to rise. The physician said" He will
not live until the pardon comes unless it
comes quickly" 1t did come in a few days,
and as soon rs it was read, the Warden had
him removed to his own house and placed in
the ploasantest room, hoping he would rally
and ret to his home to die

FIRES AT HoPEwELL.-On last Friday morn
ing the dwelling house of Mrs. Jonathan
V. Blackwell was entirely consumed by fire.
The family were awakened about two clock
and discovered the fire in the room over the
one in which they were sleeping. There be-
ing no man about it was some time before the
alarm was given. The greater portion of the
household goods we're taken out more or less
damaged. Cause of the fire, defective flue.
Insured in the Mercer and Princeton Com
panes for $1,000. Noinsurance on contents.
This residence was one of the finest in that
section of country and cost $1,000 in cheap
times.
On Sunday evening last the depot OF the
Delaware and Boundbrook road, at Hope
well, was found to be on fire. The doors
were broken open in and the fire put out.
The damage was small, amounting to perhaps
$50 or $780, The fire originated, it is sup
posed, from lighted cigar thrown into a
wooden spittoon.
