WAR FEELING AND PREPARATION IN
ENGLAND.
D. LONDON, Dec. 3l-The war party in
this country is momentarily increasing
in Influence and numbers. The Russo
Pniles are constantly using their efforts
toward the organization Of liberal asso-
Citations, and are quite active in passing
resolutions in favor of peace, but the ar
r0gance Of Russia toward the suffering
Turks, and the extreme coldness dis
played by Germany is very exasperat-
ing to a majority OF Engllshmen. Toe re-
suit is determined increase OF the war
party, and the general expectation at
this time Is that England will be brought
INTO the war with Russia early in the
coming spring. Eighty thousand native
troops and twenty thousand Eng ish
regulars nave already been ordered to
be In readiness to march at short notice
rom the Indies for Egypt and Turkey.
1t is believed that fifty thousand Bit
!ah troops at Batour, in alliance with
he Turke, with money and arms to dis
tribute, would raise storm that would
drive the Russians out of the Trans
Caucasus, as we'll as out Of Armenia.
1t is known that for some time great
stores of provisions and munitions OF
war have been accumulating at Malta,
from which point could be easily drawn
supplies needed for the support OF an
English army at Constantinople or u
fleet sent to bar the Daruanellos against
Russian ships Of war.

AKINDNESS RECIPROCATED.

The Erie Penn.) Dispatch relates this
story: GA few years ago gentleman
came to Erie and started in business,
which resulted in u failure. Being ad.
vanced IN life, and the Kind of business
in which he had been engaged being in
an un!avorab'e condition everywhere,
what was he to do? just then then the
mail brought him this letter: Il owe all
am and nave to you. Draw on me for
what money you need; come here and l
will make a place for yuu.' AS we write
these words this gentleman is com orta-
bly, placed for the rest OF his days, and
simply because he interested hlmse.f,
many years ago, in one who sought his
lnfuencein getting employment with an
Eastern railway company, and followed
up mis- tirst kindness with securing pro-
motion for the young railroader, who
not being one OF those persons whom it
is dangerous to help, who hate the hand
that helps them-on being called 10 a
Western railroad position of
great influence and value, remem-
Oered his early friend and bene-
factor, going promptly and without coli
citation to the relief OF that friend when
the evil days came TO him."
