THE WAR THE EAST.

There is already two feet of snow in
Shipka Pass. Troops are obliged to sit on
the frozen trenches ankle deep in mud.
The Pesther Lloyd states under reserve
that the prince of Reuss, German ambassa-
dor to the porte, has been instructed to de-
clare the Turkish blockade of the Black sea
ports insufficient, and therefore void.
Correspondents hereafter will only be
admitted to the lines of active operations on
the days of engagements, At other times
they must remain at corps headquarters, in
formation sent out by them having thwarted
the Russian plans
A dispatch says Achmet Eyoub Refat
Pasha, late chief of staff two brigadiers and
several superior officers, are to be tried.
EyoUb Refat is charged with disobedience in
having refused to obey Mehemet Aii's orders
to advance The porte has seized Greek YES
sci entering the gulf of ATta with amnluni-
ton. Greece has demanded her restoration.
A Vienna special says COnstantinOpIe
authorities intend that RaOuf Pasha shall re-
tain enough troops at Shipka to maintain
the defensive. All reserves collected in ROu-
melia have been sent across the Balkans to a
new position which the Turks seem to be pre-
pairing at Orchrane for Osman Pasha to fall
back on should he be obliged to leave PIevna.
The only question Is, whether he will he able
to do SO. The massing of Russian guards in
the rear of the lines at PleYna looks very
much as II the MUScOVItes were preparing to
effeCtualIy close the communication of
Plevna by sending large force across the
Vid to the rear of the Turkish position.
Muhktar Pasha telegraphs the porte
under date of the 18th as follows: To-
day the bulk of the Russian forces fell back
to the loot of karatOol, having only six bat
taliOns entrenched at Kslak. They have
thus abandoned their positions parallel with
our lines There is no trace of the enemy at
BaldiOran, kisilran or Oghuzlu, they having
struck their camps. The enemy's losses dur
ing the three days battle at Yanilar, Gull
veran and Aladjardagh are estimated at
10000 killed and wounded; ; our losses are
about 2,OOJ. Grand duke Michael COM
manded the Russians in person. Providence
has happily frustrated the formidable plans
of our enemies,

OF Chicken Charley, Salt Lake thief,
il is said "He will steal nothing but
chickens. You can trust him anywhere
or with anything but chickens. If he
comes into the society Of chickens, he i
bound TO steal them. He has served out
several imprisonments for this same
crime, the last year in the PeniUentiary;
but he was ne sooner a free man than he
was induIging his old passion"

Stanler,s Fxnloratinns.

Mr.. Henry NJ Stanley has written
letter to the Herald, in which he gives
the following sketch of the tribes in
central Africa: In east central
Africa, the people are gathered under
powerful emperOrs and kings-the great
empire of Uganda, which has an esti-
mated population of five million the
great empire of Rusanda, with an equal
estimated population; the empire Of
Trundi, with about three million; the
kingdoms of Usagara, the two Usuis,
UDyOro, Karagwe and UsOngOra and
Akerewe-all of these empires and king
doms governed despOtically, subject to
the will of their respective lmOnarchs.
In his worthy efforts for the moral inn
prOvement of these benighted races the
missionary using a discreet judgement
can soon secure the good will, assistance
and protection of the supreme powers of
these countries. In west central Africa,
from Like Tanganyika to the mouth of
the Congo river, these people are
gathered in small, Insignificant districts,
towns and villages, each governed by its
respective chief. As we approach nearer
the west coast the explorer dares not
begin to classify the people after the
usual manner employed in Africa, as the
districts are so small, the population so
great, the number of villages 50 cOnfus-
ing, that there are as many kings ruling
over a hundred-acre plot as there are
officials in Greece, all animated by an
intense thirst fer trade and distinguished
for their idolatry hostility to each other
and foolish pride. The love of trade and
barter is, however, universal, as l shall
be able to explain in another letter"
OF his plans the explorer says: 8
reserve myself for the unknown west of
Nyangwe, because l shall then have
something worth writing abOut-new,
virgin ground, of which not a whisper
has reached the world outside, ABOUT
which even everybody in Nyangwe IS
iguOrant-a region which Livingstone
painted to reach, but could not, and
which Cameron promised to explore, but
did not. The regien IS all involved IN
mystery: the intense superstition of the
Africans has folded it with awesOme
gloom. 1t is peopled by their stories
with terrible vicious dwarfs, striped ike
zebras, who deal certain death with
poisoned arrows, who are nOmads and
live on elephants. A great forest
stretches on one knows how far north
certainly no one has seen the end of 1t
through which one may travel days and
days and weeks and months without
ever seeing the sun; and the great river
Lualaba continues north, ever north
and it is possible, the Arabs and their
slaves say, the Lualaba may reach the
salt sea"
