THE Bombay Gazette, which is generally
well informed on the affairs of British India,
reports the collection of large body of
troops on the northwestern frontier by order
of Lord Lytton, the Viceroy, and in connec-
tion with this says that meeting of the
Viceregal Council, on March 2S, his Lord :
ship declared, in long speech on the Budg-
ct, that the collection of the troops on the
frontier was in order to be prepared against
the outbreak OF war in Europe; in which
case the government Of India, he said, would
not shrink from resisting "the eddies which
could no. fail to reach and trouble the minds
of our Asiatic neighbors." He also stated as
a significant fact that "the Ameer of Cabul
has been disturbed by recent events at Con-
stantinople," and that religious fanaticism
has been stirred up at Cabul." This shows
that British interests are exposed to danger
in Afghanistan. The ruling powers in that
country, ling very astute, are expected to
play off Russia against England, and get as
much as they can out OF both of them. 1t
was expected in India that Turkey will call
upon the Mohammedans throughout the
world to make one desperate effort to restore
Mussulman supremacy over the fairest coun.
tries in Asia and great part of Europe.
Lord Lytton has declared that the Afghans
are "ready to take part in this strife, for re-
ligious war begun on the northwest frontier
would rapidly spread throughout the Britis h
India" AS there are over 40,O0O,OOo OF Mo-
hammeians in British India, this matter is of
the gravest interest.

THREE annual encampments of the Sol.
ders' and Sailors National Reunion have
been held at Caldwell, Ohio, the last one hav-
ing an average daily attendance of $4,000,
with twenty-seven states represented. This
great reunion demonstrated the fact that the
gathering has outgrown the place and accom-
modations. 1t has been decided, therefore,
to hold the fourth encampment at Marietta,
Ohio, September Al, 1877, and the executive
committee extend hearty invitation to all
soldiers, sailors and veterans, of all grades
and branches of the service, without distinc-
ton, to meet as above. In this matter they
know no politics, no North nor South, but
wish to meet upon the broad platform of a
common and united country. The most ex-
tensive preparations are under way to pro-
vide for the comfort and entertainment of the
great gathering as we'll as the large number
of distinguished guests who haye been in
vited and are expected to take an active inter-
est in the patriotic proceedings. DIP. Bos.
worth, chairman of the executive committee,
and r. B. Hoover, secretary, will cheerfully
furnish all necessary information to those de-
string to participate.

The Lost Arms FOuud.

OF arms and statue sings Mr.. Meredith
Read, American Charge d. Affares at Athens
in despatch to the State Department. at Wash
ington. We have already mentioned the find
ing of one arm belonging to the Venus of Milo;
and further particulars furnished by Mr. Read
not only confirm the story, but report the dis
covery of both the missing members, giving at
the same time the intrinsic and rcumstantial
evidence in support of the genuineness of the
artistic fragments Of course the critical
skeptics will shrug their shoulders and sneer-
ingly ask whether marble fields may not be
salted as well as diamond fields, and whether
there are no bulls of the statue market as well
as among other mining stocks. Mr.. Read, how
ever says that the skeptical are silenced-that
is, the skepctial at Athens-by the fact that
the arms were found within thirty feet of the
place where the statue was found, and by the
peculiar excellence of their modelling and
workmanship. When they are brought into
juxtaposition with the statue ard subjected to
the severe examination of experts, the ques-
ton will very soon be put beyond doubt one
way or the other.
The lost arms of the Venus of Milo have been
subject of almost as lively and regretful dis
cussion as the missing Pleiad or the lost books
of Livy. To replace them has been the despair
of artists. To find them has been the dream of
enthusiasts. When it has been desired to speak
in superative praise of a statuesque beauty of
the stage it has been said with graceful force
that she has found these lost arms and appro-
priated them to her own personal use and be-
hoof. Writers upon the torso in the Louvret
who have regarded no words as too
strong to measure its excellence, mus
stapd speechless before the complete
work-if the fragments really have been found.
If this matchless marble could have been sud
denly endowed with speech when, fifty seven
years ago, it was brought into the light of day
out of the darkness where it had long lain
hidden from mems admiring eyes, we may
without violence imagine Venus Victrix ex.
claiming, Come to my arms, my restorer, my
eivererP'-only there were no arms for him
to come to. That imperfection, it is to be
hoped, no longer exists; and the statue, though
silent, will call about it greater numbers than
ever before to look upon its perfected beauties

THE process of preparing France for the
election of Ministerial majority in the
Chamber of Deputies through the system of
wholesale removal of Republican Projects,
Sub-Prefects, and other department officials,
continues at late which shows how thor
oughly determined the purpose is to turn the
current of popular sentiment by fair means
or foul. Already the changes and removals
include nearly the entire number of Projects,
besides large force of minor officials. It
is, however, question yet to be settled
whether the ''machine" will do the work
laid out for it, and reverse the strong pre-
ponderance of Repubcanism by which the
present Assembly was elected.
