that of the frigates, consists chiefly OF
smooth bore guns Of small caliber, with
a heavy rifle revolving gun on the fore

Constantinople on service, four of them
being stationed in the Adriatic one at
T%rebizond, in the Black sea two in the
Red sea two up the Persian guilt, and
the Others in the Levant. The two gun

Grant On Chamberlain.

The Tribune publishes an inter-
view with Grant regarding South
Carolina. The President Is made
to soy, that IN South Carolina the
contest has assumed such : phase
that the whole army of the United
States would be inadequate to en-
force the authority Of Governor
Chamberlain. The people OF that
state had resolved not to resort TO
violence, but adopted a mode OF
Resistance much more formidable
and effectual than armed demon
stration. They have refused to
nav their state taxes to Governor
chamberlain and It would be USE
less t. sell out their property, as
mo- one would buy II. Unless Gov.
ernor Chamberlain could compe!
the collection Of taxes, 1t would
he utterly useless for him to ex.
nect to maintain his authority fol
nny length of time. This state ol
affairs must inevitably result IN thu
4 abandonment OF all efforts by Gov
.ernoY chamberlain to maintain
himself in the exercise Of guber
material functions Of the state o
] South Carolina.

egon count. A proposition by
Captain Ellis, member Of Congress
from Louisiana, that appropria.

ernment is restored to Louisiana

The plague has broken out at Bagdad.
This is unpleasant news on the opening Of a
war that threatens the development of camp
diseases, and which necessarily must lead to
epidemic naadies more or less malignant.
Neither the Turks nor Russians pay much
attention to personal cleanliness, the former
not laying of their outer garments when re-
firing to sleep, and the latter being very
economical in the use Of soap. Military
operations are conducted under great diff

to which siege must be laid are situated in
elevated regions, where snow aud frost cover
the ground six months in the year. Others
aud particularly those on the Danubian 'front.'

are much less than by malarous complaints

KING VIoToR E,iMANUEL is again in diff
Gculties. His civil list was curtaied some
years ago under the ministry OF Signor Sella.
who induced the King to abandon one-fourth
of the sum received from the state, the amount
now being only 12,500,O0O francs. His
Majesty, who is very generous, never has
any money in his pocket, and is often obliged
to borrow few louis from his aides-de-camp
The history may DO remembered Of the bills
OF fho King, genuine or forged, which passed
through the hands of number of Italian
bankers. In order TO put an end to state
OF affairs which does but little credit to a
great nation Signor Depretis proposes that
the civil list shall DO raised to 1890, 900
francs. of the increase of 1,750, 600 francs.
OF the increase of 100000 francs the sum
of 10000 francs only is to 60 to the per-
sonal expenditure of his Majesty, the balance
of 100000 francs being intended for the
interest and advertisement of his debt, which
amounts to twenty-five millions. Tho King,
as may be remembered, has a large number
OF palaces, but the maintenance OF these is
precisely the cause of his difficulties.

TUE HIGHEsr RAILRoAD BRIDeE IN THE
WoRLD.-The Cincinnati papers are giving
accounts of the opening Of the new Southern
Railroad FROM that city to the Kentucky
River, where there is said to be the highest
railroud bridge yet built. 1t is 2I5 feet
high, having three spans, the middle one 375
feet long, and the others 800 feet each, the
total length being 1925 feet. There is a
bridge in Switzerland which is 254 feet high,
hut with span only l44 feet long, and one
at Verrugas. in the Andes, 252 feet high,
with spans l25 feet long. The piers Of this
Kentucky bridge, except those at Brooklyn,
are the largest in the country, the stone work
being 1870 by AZ feet, aud the base Of the
iron work lit by 2S. The frame is all
wrought iron and was built out from the
abutments toward the centre Of each span.
The fastening of the junction points was ae-
complished in novel way. One sunshiny
day having expanded tho framework, the
connecting bolts were fastened, and so much
secured then second day of Sunshine hav-
ing gwen all the expansion the bridge was
capable of, the bolts were made fast permA'
nenty. At the opening the other day, the
bridge was subjected to seven severe tests
and stood them all admirably.--BOstOn Jour

what Intemuerauce Does,


The evils of intemperance cannot be ex-
aggcrated. Had they come upon us in any
qualification Of our appetites, or pecuniary
gain, the whole land would have been GOV.
cred with sackcloth. A blast or tempest,
which for six successive years should sweep
away eight million dollars Of property, would
be viewed as ruin to the nation. But
iutemperance cost this nation, the last FIVE
years, eighty-eigkt million two hundred and
thirteen thousand two hundred aud thirty
six dollars A foul spirit lot loose from the
pit, with power to destroy the sober judg-
ment OF men, aud incite to the commission
Of every abomination and crime, like dire
disaster sweeping over the land not unlike
tho faithful pestileuce, extinguishing man s
life almost without warning, but first Grip
ping all the physical, intellectual and moral
energies Of nine hundred and fifty thousand
citizens turning some into idiots, some into
maniacs aud some into fends, to be tor
ments Of their families, nuisances to society,
accursed Of God and man, living only to
make q god of their belly, and then dying
amid the horrors Of an anticipated hell, aud
doomed at last to shame and everlasting con-
tempt, would have caused us to feel that
earth was forsaken Of its kind Benefactor
and all the curses Of the pit were let loose
upon us. And yet these, for years on years,
have been tho dire fruit of incompetence.
Under its prevalence crime has caused crime,
and blood answered to blood. AT low calcu.
lation, in the last twenty-five years, as many
or more than one million persons have sunk
into the drunkard's grave, and two hundred
fifty thousand dollars have been uselessly ex-
pended. Then, it is estimated that no less
than six thousand murders caused by intern.
peranee, besides conAagrations and ship
wrecks unnumbered, have resulted, aud pro-
cession after procession has gone to the poor.
house, the jail, the mad-house and the or
phan's home. In Great Britain, it appears
from statistics just published by the last ses
sion Of the British Parliament, that while
the annual expense for bread was one hun.
dted aud thirty million dollars the immedi
ate cost Of liquor was two hundred and fifty
million dollars, resulting in an amount o.
squalid poverty, vice, prohigacy aud crime
OF which no mind but the mind Of God cal
have adequate conception, and sendin,
eighty.fve million human beings, in a lane
of the very brightest gospel light, to thu
drunkard's grave and to the drunkard's eter
