GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.

The London Times strongly urges that En-
gland should offer mediation between Russia
and Turkey, with the concurrence of the other
neutral powers.
From the City of Mexico comes report that
ex-President Lerdo, of Mexico, is to be tried
for high crimes against the constitution, COM
mitted during his administration, and that Gen.
Escobedo will soon be tried for treason.
There are three counts in the Indictment
against Gambetta, the French statesman which
charge offenses against the person of the Pres
ident and against the republic There are six
counts for public insults to Ministers. The
Government will not permit the trial to be re-
ported.
1t is said that the Pope, who is improving in
health, has definitely resolved to restore the
Roman hierarchy in Scotland. Cardinal Man
ming will shortly go to Rome on a confidential
mission in that connection.
A band of Montenegrin soldiers recently sur
rounded village near Pressika, intending to
get cattle and corn. During the night fresh
band arrived, whom the first supposed to be
Turks. A fierce combat followed, in which 800
were killed and a number wounded. The mis-
take was not discovered till morning.
Another terrible famine has broken out in
Asia, and is desolating the little kingdom Of
Corea, on the eastern frontier of China, and
the natives are rapidly dying Of starvation.
Like the Indian famine, it has arisen from the
failure Of the crops last season, owing to the
want of rain, and from the consumption of all
reserve supplies. To add to their miseries, the
plague has broken out among the people.
1t is reported that the Cabinets of London,
Berlin, and Vienna have agreed that the time
has not yet arrived for an attempt to settle the
Eastern question by negotiation. The neutral
powers believe that defnitive settlement,
promising permanent peace, cannot be obtained
until Turkey is subjugated or Russia becomes
thoroughly exhausted by the protracted strug-
gle, and is ready to seek some other means Of
adjustment than the arbitrament Of force to
which she has appealed.
France and Germany have presented remon-
strances TO the Porte against the release of the
Salonica murderers.
Gambetta, the French Republican leader,
has been fined 1000 francs and sentenced to
three months Imprisonment for his alleged in
sulting remarks at Lille. He has taken an APP
peal to higher court.

fails to exhibit to the satisfaction of the
public the wonderful powers claimed Tor
it. An absolute and unmistakable test
is promised to the public soon.
THE condition of the affairs of the
State Savings Bank of Chicago the local
papers report has a more hopeful cast than
at first. 1t is now believed the assets, if
judiciously managed, will net the de-
positors at least 40 cents on the dollar.
THE men who took a new hold of the
Isthmus OF Panama ship canal project,
something like year since, have so far
pushed their work as to survey the
ground and estimate the cost of the en-
terprise. The next step will be the diff
fcult one of securing the cooperation of
foreign capital in pushing this impor-
tant undertaking of civil engineering to
completion. Time will probably see this
done.
The long-expected revival in business
is reported as having made a satisfactory
start at Baltimore. Southern and West
ern buyers are focking to the town, and
are buying for cash, having the money
to pay. The Baltimore Sun credits this

fidence and the excellent crops, and esti-
mates that from $50, 900, 900 to $780,

ported this year than in 1876, financially

OBITUARY.
Louis Adolph THEIRS,


NJ. Theirs, one of the greatest states
men and historians that France ever pro-
duced, has passed away. Like many of
the prominent men OF his country, he
sprung from humble origin. His father
was locksmith, and young Theirs, who
early in life was separated from his
fathers family, was brought up by the
relatives of his mother.
In many respects Louis Adolph Theirs
was the most remarkable man of the
period. Lawyer, journalist, historian
and statesman, he ran a career which
has placed his name upon the imperish-
able tablets of France. Born at Mar
seilles, April 16, 1897, he was an octo-
genarian, but so full of life and so fresh
in every respect that his death was quite
unexpected He seemed to bear a
charmed life, that was proof against the
slow poison of advancing age. Forum
ately, however, he was not the leader of
his party. The Republicans of France
revered and counseled with him, but
look up to NJ. Gambetta as their chief.
His house in the Place st. George, which
had been destroyed by the Commune
and restored by the Government, was
the center of very influential circle of
public men, but the loss, deeply as it
will be deplored, can hardly injure the
cause of popular self-government in
France. On the contrary, the event will
serve to stir the enthusiasm of the
LEFT " in the pending very earnest Leg
islative campaign. Looked upon in n
public light the death occurred at an OPP
perfume time.
NJ. Theirs came to the bar as early as
1918. He practiced law three years in
AK. He then went to Paris and began
his career as a newspaper writer. Tai
leyrand was among the number of those
who detected his genius and helped to
bring it to recognition. His history of
the French Revolution was begun two
years after he reached Paris, and occu-
pied very considerable portion of his
time for years. 1t is great work, and
will long rank among the standards.
His political life began under Louis
Philippe. He was an official of the
Treasury Department and member of
the House of Deputies. He held sever.
al high positions. In 1884 he became a
member of the French Academy, an
honor which Louis Napoleon's vanity
coveted, and which true Frenchman
prizes above political preferment. He
became recognized leader of the Lib
eral party nearly forty years ago. A
writing some years ago, says
of his life at that period "He advo-
Gated enlightened measures of education |
and progress, and opposed Ultramon-
tame schemes and political corruption.
He also denounced the excessive COM
placency toward England in adopting
her objections to the incorporation of
Texas with the United States, on which
occasion he deprecated alienation from

NEWS OF THE WEEK.
THE WAR IN THE EAST.

The report of the capture Of Lovatz by the
Russians is confirmed. The loss OF this Inn
portant strategic position will be severely felt
by the Turks, as it is believed that its capture
and occupation by the Russians will bar the
way TO junction Of the forces Of Osman and
Suleiman Pashas
II is reported that the Turks have nearly
completed the isolation of the Russian corps in
Schipka pass, having obtained command Of the
Gabrova road, north of the Balkans. The Rus
slams meanwhile are improving the roads and
building bridges in the pass, confident that it
will not be long before an army will come to
theirrelief, and the road into Roumell will be
wanted.
The Turks claim to have defeated the Twelfth
Russian corps on the river LON, after severe
engagement. They place the Russian loss at
5000 killed and wounded, and the Turkish loss
at 900.
The Emir of Bokhara, considering that Rus
STA, by attacking Turkey, threatens the whole
Mohammedan world has placed his army ON a
war footing. Russia has advised him to dis
arm. In the event of his refusal, Russia will
attack Bokhara, and hopes to defeat the Emir
in few weeks
The Turkish army at Bagdad, 1000 strong,
is to be sent to reinforce the Bulgarian army.
A dispatch from Sistova, dated Sunday
night, Sept. 8, says: "This morning the
attack on all sides of Plevna was commenced
and was continued throughout the day. BY 6
o'clock i'll the evening the town of Plevna was
in the hands Of the Russians, and the Turks
were in full retreat in great disorder. The
losses are enormous, but details are not yet re-
ceved."
In Asia Minor, the hostile Generals continue
to watch one another from their intrench-
ments, but neither cares to make a move
which would give the enemy advantage ground.
Nicsics has at last been captured by the
Montenegrins. The garrison, which was orig
inally 400 strong, lost 200 during the siege in
killed and prisoners.
A dispatch from Belgrade says "Informa-
ton has been received from Turn-Severin that
the Projects have been ordered to have every
thing in readiness for $4,000 Russians who will
march through Tirn-Severin on their way to
cross the Danube, and enter Servian territory.
On the Servian bank everything is prepared for
the crossing of the Russians"

A bloody chapter OF crime comes TO us from
the town of st. Elmo, Fayette county, Ill.
Mr.. John Scoles, an estimable citizen of the
place, returned home with his family, after
an absence Of several days, and found tramp
in possession of the house. The latter made
for cornfeld, where he was pursued. Being
brought to bay, he coolly shot Mr.. Scoles
dead News Of the murder spread causing
the widest excitement, and in few minutes
upward of 100 armed men were in pur-
suit of the murderer. Mr.. Frank Barnes,
an estimable young man, was the first to over-
take him. The fiend turned upon his pursuer,
and, holding revolver in each hand, COM
menced firing. Barnes was shot through the
head and instantly killed. Mr.. Frank Wise
man, another excellent citizen, came up about
this time and also received a bullet through the
head, from the effects of which he died in
short time. Still coolly facing the ad-
vancing citizens, he aimed with his
right-hand revolver, and fired, killing a
horse from under pursuing farmer, whose
name is not learned. Then, giving terribly
demoniac yell, he rushed toward the entire
party Of about a dozen horsemen. This
bold and utterly unlooked-for action by the de-
mon disconnected the party and caused them
to turn and flee in all directions. Still intent
with devilish murderous deeds, he again aimed
and hit horse, wounding it 50 it FELL unable
to move further, and the rider was obliged to
escape on foot. The desperate then turned
and fled to the woods, making his escape.

The army worm is devastating the cotton in

MISCELLANEOUS aLEAN1Nas.

Senator Mortons physician thinks his patient
will be able to take his seat in the Senate at the
regular session Of Congress.
The annual meeting Of the Society Of the
Army of the Tennessee has Just been held at
st. Paul, Mimi. The attendance numbered
about seventy-five, mostly from Illinois, Indi-
ana, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Missouri. Gen.
Sherman was elected President for the ensuing
year.
Friday, Sept. 7, was big day for Marietta,
Ohio, and big day for Private Dalzel. Pres
ident Hayes, Postmaster General Key and
Attorney General Devens arrived in the morn
ing and took part in the grand reunion of ex-
soldiers and ex.sailors. An immense con-
course, estimated at 10000, welcomed the
party at the train and escorted them through
the streets of the city to the residence Of
Gen. 7. G. H. Smith, where the President re-
NAMED a guest. In the afternoon there was
speech-making and general love-feast. The
President, in his speech, avoided any discus
sion of political topics, his whole effort being
in defense of his Southern policy. AS usual,
he introduced Judge Key, who spoke of the
North and South to-day, contrasting it with
the position before the war. Gen. Devens fol-
lowed in a speech of half an hour. The Presi-
dental party left in the evening for Fremont,
where they were accorded cordial reception.

FRESH PARAGRAPHS.

THE Washington Star pronounces the
story to the effect that Osman is Marshal
Bazaine as absurd, and declares that the
Marshal is now living in retirement in
Spain. 100
The Queen of Madagascar, Africa, has
issued decree emancipating all the
slaves on the island, and giving them
the use of public lands in order to enable
them to take care of themselves.
The long-current story that President
Grant offered the Chief Justiceship to
Senator Howe, of Wisconsin, is con-
frmed by the ex-President, the only
reason for his non-acceptance being that
the then-Democratic Legislature would
choose Democrat to succeed him.
THE London Times has long article
correcting the impression that Russia is
on the verge of bankruptcy. The writ
er claims that the debt of Russia is in no
way manageable, and that her resour-
ces are such as will enable her to carry
on second and third campaign without
exhaustion.
A CORRESPONDENT of the Louisville
Courier-JouTnal writes to that paper to
say uudt ~. Oldy OrdWlOrd cdnuOU DE Ob-
man Pasha, because Crawford was NOR
tally wounded while leading Cuban at
tack on the Spaniards in Cuba, and died
on the field. And then he thinks Craw-
ford was not of the sort of which great
soldiers are made.
The Cuba business gets on in neither
direction. More troops from Spain, an
other change in the Captain Generalship,
Jovellar going home in September, and
the revolutionists as troublesome as
ever. 1t does seem as if it was about
time for Spain to do one thing or the
other, crush the rebellion, compromise
with it, or abandon the island.
II. J. GArLrNa writes to the New York
Evening Post that recent improvements
in his gun have brought it to such a
