The Continent, published at Geneva,
Switzerland, says: IN. Blanc, Of Hon.
bourg, who has been driven from place
to place by the awakened morality of
Europe until the little rock Of Monaco is
his only resting place, has appeared at
Cairo as the Deus ex machina to save the
situation. He Offers royal terms; he gives
cash in abundance, and more is to follow
IS the years goes by. He will build q
lordly pleasure house after the fashion of
his old haunts; he will convert the Shou-
bra road, the Rotten row Of Cairo, into
Champs Elysees, with cafes chantants in
number sufficient to content even the
bourgeoisie of Paris. The motley crowd
that daily meets there, the bankers and
beggars, princes and peasants, on camels,
donkeys, and horses of price, the brough-
ans and barouches, carts and street car
riages; the Cooks tourist, with his green
puggaree, the Circassisn beauty in her
veil Of mystery, will all now bow down be-
fore NJ. Blanc aud his army of pale-faced
croupiers, and they will end their drive
BY daily witt 70 his green tables, which
will offer facilities to every purse. He
comes 1T the nick Of time. Bourse specu-
lation has become too dangerous game,
and the Egyptian world is rather at loss
how To make money without working for
il. The opera and the thester we're cost
" attractions to maintain for the winter
visitors. n. Blanc will now maintain
them, while his green tables will o6er

tend it travels to the banks Of the Nile"

The Seat of HOstilities.

Bucharest, the capital of Roumania,
which is said to have been occupied by a
detachment of Russians, is called by the
inhabitants Buccuresci, or the City of
Joy. 1t contains about 100000 inhabit-
ants, and is picturesque in appearance
from the number Of its acacia trees. Its
streets are irregularly laid out, and in
some cases scarcely deserve the name Of
streets. The place is rapidly improving,
however, is lighted by gas, and has COM
munication by railroad with Giurgero, on
the Danube, in southeasterly direction,
and with Lemberg due west, and thence
with Western Europe generally. Kalafat
lies on the southeastern border of Rou-
mania, and is separated from Widdin, in
Bulgaria, by the Danube. A Turkish
force 10000 strong is said to have gone
forward from Widdin to the seat of war,
so that Roumanian neutrality appears to
be violated by both the opposing powers.
Widdin is a strongly fortified city, and
has been a prominent point in all the
contests of the Turks with their Northern
nejghbors. Its population is thirty or
forty thousand. ROumania was formed
BY q union of the two principalities of
Wallachis and Moldavis, in 1851, by q
firman of the Sultan. In 1866, the peo-
pie elected the Domnu or Prince Karl, of
Hohenzollern Sigmaringen. A constitu-
ton was adopted during the same year.
1t vested the legislative power in two
houses. Members are elected by citizens
twenty-five years old and able to read
and write. Candidates must have small
property qualification. Wallachia is d.
vided into eighteen and Moldavia into
eighteen districts. The revenue of the
principality was e2,735, 900 in 1871. The
military force of the country is organized
on the Russian plan, and largely Differed
by Russians. All citizens from eighteen
to fifty-two are liable to military service.
The army numbers about 10000. The
area of the principality is 45,642 square
miles, and the population about 4,0O0,-
600: The railways are all State property.

CHEMICAL analysis discloses the fact
that among the many articles used for
food there are only two, wheat and milk,
which contain ell the elements Of the hu-
man body, and in the proper proportion.
Other articles, such - butter, sugar, syr-
up, and fat of oil kinds, are wholly car
bonaceous, or heat producing, 20 that if .
human being were to attempt to live on
these articles alone, his brain and mus
cles would starve. By actual experiment
IL hes been found that man could not
survive two months on such diet.

A BOX car containing household fur

was opened on its arrival at Fremont,
Neb., the other day, and found to con-

A sad letter, and yet we have men tell
ing US they will not give up sin because
sin is sweet. l wish l could say some
thing tonight that would open the eyes
of every man and woman in this assembly

not feel as if would like to 60 on. We

weeks, and let US pray that God may open
the eyes of the blind, and those that have
been living in sin may be brought to the
Saviour.

SEE THESE MEN.

Chandler, Norton, Cameron aad Sher-
man-men clothed with the highest
hon6rs Of the Republic, are engaged in a
deliberate conspiracy to set aside the
solemn ju gment of the American pee
pie, and to maintain by revolution the
power they have been commanded to sur
render to more trusted rulers. The su-
pr.me authority of the Union has d e
clared its mandate to them in tones
which none misunderstood, and by no
constructive obedieLce to law that pre-
serves the attribute Of justice could they
confront it. By the most sha meless dis

is confined principally to public men who

irrespective Of sections and party lines,
with a Singular unanimity, are declaring
for solution of the Presidential dispute
, through the agency of this Tribunal.
Michigan, Kentucky, New York
and other States are proclaiming their
acceptance of the report.
The reason for this drift in public
opinion Is traceable to the present COM

THE COUNTRY WANTS PEACE

We should accept in good faith and
spirit the action of that Joint Commits

exhaust its practicalness in the solution
Of the controversies now disturbing pub
lie attention, even if some iondly cher
ished constitutional theories are tempo
rarily compromised.
The country is in the presence of q
terrible danger, and the people have no
heart to stand and quarrel over the
mere construction of bridge, when a
sure way is opened to span the yawning
chasm of deep bitter partisan struggle,
Messrs. Bright, Douglass, Randall,
Black, and others of tn, Democratic
party in Congress should not tax their
wits to see whether the platform adopted
Fy that Joint Committee is regullFly
ongue-and-grooved, planed and polished,
according to exact Democratic nicetv in
constitutional hair-splitting Ic is enough
for them a%d all other patriots to con-
slider whether the plan proposed is able
TO carry the country safely through the
present Presidential disturbance. They
need not undertake to scheme and legis-
late for other aud remote election strug-
gles. The Ship of State is now pressed
by severe storm, and these at the helm
should seize the first opportunity to make
a landing. Frottcd and Distressed, the
nation anxiously seeks thessecurity of IA

GOOD ROADS DEMANDED.

There is one thing especially needed,
the absence of which detfaets from the
volume OF business righttaliy belonging
to this city, and that is good thorough |
fares leading out into what might be |
termed the s'tfade centreso Of the conn- |
ty. We have referred to this matter
before, and we again call the attention
OF our business men to it, hoping that
some steps to supply the want may be
taken at once. A good plank road
from this city to Scio is almost a neces-
sity, especially at this season of the year.
The section of country about Scio, COM
monty known as the "Forks," is rich
and productive, and embraces in its
precincts nearly one third of the popuIa-
of the county The trade ofthis section
properly belongs to Albany, anl had
we good ''winter" roa6, on which
farmers and others could transport their
produce at the proper season OF the year,
and the season, too, when grain espe-
cially commands the highest figures,
hardly a.pound would find its way else
where than INTO the establishments OF
our business men here. 4 road to Leb-
anon is also demanded, and the road
to Scio and Lebanon might be combined
part of the way at least-and this lat
ter might probably be extended with
profit to Brownsville. During the sum-
mer our roads are as tiue as anywhere
else in the world perhaps but oar
farmers have no grain, pork vegetables
or other produce to haul at that season
of the year: With good plank roads
leading out OF the city over which loads
could be hauled, at least one million oi
dollars would be added to the busiuess
of this city. This matter is pressing it.
self upon the notice of our business
men, and as long as they do not take
steps to build such roads as are actually
demanded, Just SC long will they stand
in their own light. These roads must
eventually be built, because they are ar
actual necessity to the growth and in
crease of our county. With good roads
leading through the" several rich dis
tricts in the county, hundreds of acre.
now lying idle or used only as pasture
lands, would be put under cultivation
increasing production aud augmentin.
the general prosperity. Albany want

ronage of the entire county, and to Oh
tain this she must provide highway
which can he travelled in winter as vel
as summer.
