REVIEW OF THE EUROPEAN SITUATION.
From the london Dispatch.l

From the london Dispatch,l
The war now in progress between Rus
sia and Turkey is only the latest episode
in great conflict of races which has
lastcd in Europe for more than five cen
turies, the origin Of which has to be
traced back through good many more
than thousand years into the obscurity
of primitive and barbaric life in Central
Asia. A brief review of this ancient
feud will help us to understand the es
scntial conditions Of the present phase Of
the strife.
Long ages before Greece or Rome ex

different races occupied the more habita-
BILE parts OF the great Asatic continent,
and, as they soon became too numerous
to follow their nomadic ways of lie with.

er, began to struggle for tue mastery.
One 6f these races, the Mongolian,
spreading westward from China, helped
to tlisplace the other race, the Aryan,
already breaking into rival fragments
and branching out into independent ma
tions and clusters Of nations. From the
Aryan stock sprang the Hindoos, to the
south of the Himalal as, and the success
sive colonies OF Celts, Teutons, Italians.
Greeks and others, who gradually took
possession of the chiefportions of Europe.
The Slayonic tribes, more numerous, but
less open to cWilizng agencies tllan
most of the others, formed one of these
families. The.yast tract OF country now
known as European Russia wac in course
of time appropriated by them before or
during the period Of the Roman empire,
and ut later date some branches OF
them stretched southward and established
themselves among the ruins of the Byzan.

The farmer who thought to demorslizs
a field Of potato bugs by planting rows
of onions between the rows Of potatoes
IS not feeling as smart as be was. The
Worcester Press says that when he saw
the bugs crawl off the onion tops aud
chew cardamon seed: !or their breath
before attacking the next row Of potato
vines, he went into the wood-shed and
gave way to his feelings.
