Jupiter and Mars too were in the sixth house,
which is that of health, and approaching the
seventh, which is that of prosperity. Nor must

unusual ability, we take occasion again to ask
him TO use his great opportunities discreetly
and refrain from abrupt and peremptory pro-

him is Bogy, a hero who dares to follow where

In Turkey the scene shifted yesterday.
While the Porte and the Servians were con-
Guiding peace, the Mirlditcs had rcvolted,
and were beseging Puka, a town on the road
to Prizrendi. The insurgents are one of those
Albanian tribes who formerly deiied the Roman
power, and have never been completely sub
dued by the Turks. Being within moderate
distance of Montenegro, the Mindites may
expect assistance from that quarter. The de-
NAL of the report that Russia is about to de-
mobilize her army will stimulate this insurrec-
ton and render the Servian peace of less
account.

ises to abolish eifectually the slave trade which

Gen. Garfield made a mistake in accepting
Mr.. Parsons fec for preparing brief in be-
salf of the De Golyer paving contract. So
much his friends ought frankly to admit.
Beyond that there is nothing to say. No
human being with an ounce of brains in his
head has the least doubt about Gen. Gar
fields entire personal integrity in the matter.
He was needless and unwise, but he never had
dishonest hair in his head, and it simply
never occurred to him that he was doing
thing which anybody could consider dishonest.
For the rest, the whole business is two or
three years old. The effort of his political OPP
ponents at tins late day to raise a storm about
it partakes of the nature of sheet-iron thun-
der.
