A Goose's Fight with a
IF8g Bull. fEft

"A heavy throate'l bull near
Middletown, n. Y, noted for his
ferceness, accidentally stepped
on one of brood of goslings re-
gently which stately gander was
holding watch and guard over
with great solicitude. Straight
way the gander attacked the bull,
and seizing him by the tail with
his beak, bis wings iashiug the
animals fanks with great fury,
Iu vain the bull wheeled about
toreach his antagonist; the gan.
der wheeled with him, all the
while retaining his hold upon the
bulls tail, and showering blows
with his powerful wings with tell
ing effect upon the bulls legs,
until he fairly. roared with pain
and terror. At last the gander,
apparently thinking that his ad-
versary bad sufficient punishment,
let go his hold, and the bull took
to his heels with the liveliest
speed, only. stopping when he
reached the further corner OF the
field.

Caleb Gushing on the Eff
fects Of the War.

Caleb Cushing's opinion as to
the effect of the war in this couu
try is, in substantially his own
language, as follow:
"That the war must result in
great good to our country. There
is, however, no necessity Tor the
large advance on flour; that is
speculative. If the fight should
be confined to Russia and Turkey
the demand for our breadstuif.
will even then be heavy, for the
Russians will not permit all their
cereals to'be exported while they
are at war, aud besides the pro
duclng classes will have TO Join
the army. 1t threatens to be a
great war. If England gets into
it, then will come our opportunity
to recuperate our commerce. We
will have to provide some way by
which we can gather in the Eng
lish commerce under our flag. Ii
is destined to be Americas chance,
and we must avail ourselves Of it.
Russia and Turkey were never
better prepared for a long strug
gle, SO far as men, arms aud pro-
visions are concerned"

whose inhabitants consist of
Bosnians, Croats, Morlaks, lily
rians, Turks, Jews, Gypsies, &c.
These with the exception of the
last four, are also of the Slavic
race. And then, south of the
Danube, from Servia tothe Black
Sea, enclosed on the south by
Balkan mountains, are the Bulga-
rians. These number about
two and a quarter millions and
belong to the Slavic race and are
members of the Greek church.
Sophia is an important city.
South of the Balkan mountains
lies Macedonia, a part of the
old empire of Alexander, whose
inhabitants are descendants Of
the old Greeks.
Thus ne see that the present
conflict involves in it three ra-
ces. There is the Russia or
Slavic, the Greek and the Turk
ish. And the religious aspect is
no less interesting, for three
different forms of faith are
struggling for the mastery
the Greek church a lineal des-
cedent of those to whom st.
Paul wrote his epistles, and a.
mong whom he preached; the
sister church of the West, one
with her in her early liturgies
and formularies; and lastly the
Mohammedan. It is impossi-
BILE to say how this conflict is to
end. 1t may be in the extern
sion of the kingdom of Greece,
northward to the Danube, with
Constantinople for its capital.
The rise of modern Greece is a
wonderful fact in the history of
modern Europe and may yet
assume an Importance altogeth-
er unlocked for. There may be
a concordat in a Greek empire
to which Western Europe, Eng
land and Germany may sub
scribe.

A Republican in South
.''iA Carolina

Redfield, of the Cincinnati
Commercial, having transferred
hlmselfdown to South Carohnia,
says:
The Republican party is play
ing out rapidly. After the next
election the Republican MEM
bers will not be numerous. The
truth is, the Republican party
in South Carolina is going the
way it has gone in all the
Southern States, only more rap
idlys if anything, The thirty
six thousand majority of color
ed voters will count for nothing.
The white man is now on top,
and with each returning election
he will more securely entrench
himself. Only a few years ago
the Republicans had both
branches of the Georgia Legis-
lature. Now, out of over two
hundred members they have
but nine. 1t is ever so. When
once the Republican party
starts downward in a Southern
State it is soon practically ont
of existence.
To all intents and purposes
the Republican party of South
Carolina is to-day dead. 1t can
do nothing, it can elect nobody.
There is widespread and almost
frenzied determination upon
the part of the whites never to
allow it to come to power again,
and they never will. By superb
or intelligence and resources
they will gradually but efectu-
ally, crush it out. They have
had enough of it, and will go to
war before they win allow it to
come to power again.
This fierce antagonism is not
without cause. The career of
the Republican party here has
been a libel upon civilization.
Its rule has been imbecility and
robbery. Offices and public
trusts were bought and sold
without shame.

this matter, Peter B. Sweeney,

RB The Pulaski Citizen OBJ
jects to our fioater, Jas. w.
Goodwin, Esq, being inau-
enced by the resolutions adop-
ted by the meeting held here on
the 7:h, and insists that bis ac-
tions shall not "be controlled
by SO men in Lincoln county"
1t argues that
When A makes his note to
B for 500, AS rights do not
comprise anything in the world
than the absolute duty to pay
whatever b. requires, if it is the
last cent; and it does not lie in
AS mouth to dictate terms. We
believe the people would ac-
cept the 60 cent proposition.
That is certainly right, now that
the bOndhOlders offer such COM
promise-and we believe if they
had pnt the figures at 90 cents
the people woEld have no rights
but to accept that or pay the face
value of the bonds. The ques-
tion is simply a matter of hon
esty, and the only way to COM
promise the debt without COM
promising our honesty is to ac-
cept the 60 cents proposition.
At least, don't fire off the gun
at the command of 81 out OF
$500 men. That would be too
transpicuously diaphanous.
