NEARLY all the Ministers of the Sultan
are for war ''to the bitter end," and to ex-
hibit a pacific disposition is sure to ex-
cite suspicion in Constantinople. Whatever
the Sultan may privately think, he must
appear to side with the majority since the
Russians crossed the Danube. That unfor-
tunate sovereign is said to be most unhappy,
aud is almost continually crying and moan
ing like child with the Koran before him.
Every telegram from the seat of war has to
be shown to him at once, and he disbelieves
the accounts of Turkish successes. He and
his ministers cannot account for the indiffer-
ence with which Europe has received his
complaint of atrocities alleged to be COM
mitted by the Russians and Bulgarians, and
apparently forget that it was his own brutal
Bashi-B -Bazouks who set the example OF massa-
ere, torture, arson, and plundering in Bull
garia under the orders and personal superin-
tendence of an official who, though his guilt
was fully proved, was not punished, but aetu-
ally promoted to higher military command.

The New York Convention.

Maine seems to have set the fashion in
political conventions this year, and the mode
al pin is all the rage with the platform
makers. The Republicans of New York for
once at least accept the motto upon our
state seal, and are content to follow in the
way that Maine points out. The judicious
course which the Republicans of this State in
convention assembled determined upon has
been adopted in New York and elsewhere.
In New York as in Maine grave and hon
est differences of opinion exist in the Repub-
lican party in regard to some of the questions
of government and policy which now COM
mand the attention of the country. Some
Republicans heartily sustain the course of
the President and his advisers, others
strongly oppose that course, and others still,
prefer to wait and see the result Of the policy
of the Administration before enthusiastically
endorsing or unreservedly condemning it. 1t
soon became evident that unless spirit of
Cancellation was manifested, unless men were
willing to manifest proper respect for the SEN
timents of their fellows, the Republican party

weakened. But there was matter upon
which Republicans were at one, and that
was the necessity of retaining control of the
States in which they already held the power
and of regaining the control of the States
where power had been lost by dissen-
sions. Whatever dissatisfaction there might
be with the Republican national administra-
tion there was none with tie Republican
state administrations. In order to secure
these state administrations united effort
was necessary. The Republicans of
Maine understood the situation and wisely
determined to make no issue upon the ques-
tion which divided the party. The result OF
the action justified its wisdom.
The Republicans of New York who are
similarly situated to the Republicans Of
Maine have followed in our wake. There as
here there were differences of opinion in re-
gard to the Southern policy of the President,
to ignore all dissensions and go into the cam
paign upon issues which command the united
support of the party. The majority of the
convention has apparently taken no un-
wise advantage of its numerical superiority.
1t has not insisted that the minority shall ac-
cept its views upon the Southern question.
Upon the method of civil service reform Eve
all agree upon the matter) the convention
expressed itself in very decided terms but in
taking the stand it did it seems to have fairly
represented the opinions of the Republicans
of the state.
The Republicans of New York have in
convention followed the lead Of the Repu5li-
cans of Maine. If they but carry out the eX-
ample brilliant victory at the polls awaits
them.

THE promise of more active business is
evidently now to be realized. Never since
the panic has the outlook been so bright. If
heretofore there have been delusive hopes
and indications which failed of fruition, this
time there can be no mistaking the general
drift OF, business currents. The entire coun-
try is unquestionably on the eve of better
times than have been seen for years.

We trust the improved tone in Southern
sentiment is not inspired by the expectation
of subsidy grants from the national treasury.
There seems to be mysterious ligament be-

The advocates of the "dollar of our
fathers''a have missed the opportunity Of
noting the advantages of silver revealed by
the recent robbery on the Union Pacific Road.
The government had hundreds of thousands
of dollars in silver bars on the train, which
the robbers contemptuously refused to touch,
not having train of ox-wagons to haul it
away with. Had it been gold, the govern
ment would be out just that much. Score
one for the silver dollar: it is burglar-proof.

ONE of the largest of the Tennessee
hondholders, in a letter published in the
World, suggests that the bondholders pro-
pose to the state to accept in full payment of
her six per cent. bonds held by them and the
overdue interest upon them, new four per
cent. bonds, payable fifty or one hundred
years hence; the coupons of the new four per
cent. bonds to be payable half yearly, and to
be made receivable for all taxes and dues to
the state; the bonds to be redeemable at any
time at the pleasure of the state, and to be
renewable at her pleasure. He believes the
bondholders can be induced to make such a
proposition provided it is understood that it
will be accepted by the Legislature of Ten
nessee at the special session which, he is in
formed, the Governor will soon convene.

unpleasant experiences have taught him
that we know best.
Now, want to say word about fam
lily prayers. Children who are possessed
of ordinary mental capacity may be
taught to be quiet at a. very early age.
This quietude should be made as short
as it can be consistently. Have at hand
book of pictures, and take your little
one upon your knee. BY soft little
whispers give him to underst md he
must be quiet, show him pictures if
necessary, even though you sacrifice
your share of enjoyment in the scripture
reading. After few days let him sit in
his own chair as a favor, but insist upon
quiet Ask the clergyman privately to
be ue,y brief in his reading and cery plain
and simple in his prayer, for few min
utes seem interminable to little ones. If
they have honestly tried to be quiet dur
ing your devotions, tell them an inter-
esting little story or reward them in some
other pleasant way. If they have not
endeavored to crafty you, omit the
story and allow them to see they have
grieved you. Children love to see moth
er happy.
Your children are not worse than
others. If you and they live fifteen
years from now, you will be thankful for
the energy which in itscrude state nearly
drives you wild. Beware how you at
tempt to depress, their energies. If
smothered now they will find vent later
in life, in all manner of wickedness and
evil. Give them employment; invest
literally in picture papers; teach them
how to cut out the pictures and paste
them in books; give them nails, ham
mers and bits of wood. If your ne,ves are
sensitive, cover the boards with cloth.
At night draw out the nails and you are
ready for another day. ..
Never. never mention achipping in con-
nection with your dear little children.
Your babies are merely exercising those
faculties of their nature which are i'm
planted by the all.wise father.

HEADQUARTERS COMMAND ON VEL
LOW STONE,
January 80, 1877.
1 have the honor to report that this
command fought the hostile tribes of
Cheyenne and Ogallala Sioux, under
Crazy Horse, in skirmishes on the first,
third and seventh of January, and in
fve-hours engagement on the eight in
slant. Their camp, consisting of some
six hundred lodges, extended three miles
along the valley of Tongue river below
Hanging Woman's creek. They were
driven through the canons of the Wolf
or Panther mountains in the direction Of
the Big Horn mountains. Their fighting
strength outnumbered mine two or three
to one, but by taking advantage of the
ground we had them at disadvantage,
and their losses are know to be very
severe. Our loss was three killed and
eight wounded. They fought entirely
dismounted, and charged on foot to with
in fifty yards of Captain Casey's line, but
were taken in front and flank by Captain
Buffers and Lieutenant M'Donald's
companies. They were whipped at every
point and driven from the field, and pur-
sued as far as my limited supplies and
worn down animals would carry my COM
mand. The Indians appeared to have
plenty of arms and ammunition, but
otherwise are in a destitute condition
Some of the prisoners in our hands were
captured with frozen limbs, and were
living on horse meat. The weather has
been very severe, and the snow from one
to three feet deep. The command is il

INTERES PHENOMENA IN 1877

On March l Mars will pass Jupiter,
near the point the sun reaches at his ex-
tremes southern declination, but this
sight will not be as interesting as the
former, as Mars will be nearly over
Swallowed by the superior brilliancy OF
Jupiter.
But the astronomical event of the
year will be the opposition of Mars,
which will occur on the fifth of Septem-
Der. This happens once in little more
than two years, but owing to the ell
lipticity of the planets orbit greater
degree of brilliancy is presented when
opposition and perihelion occur together,
as in the case this year, Mars coming to
perihelion Aug. 81, and to opposition
fifteen days later
During the monthsof August and Sep
TENDER the fiery little planet will blaze
nearly all the night, wsth brilliancy
rivaling that of Jupiter itself. OPPOSE
tions of Mars are valuable for determin-
ing the SUMS distance, by means of the
planets horizontal parallax, being for
this surprise inferior only to transits Of
Venus. The comparative movements OF
Mars and Saturn will be interesting, the
former passing Saturn on the twenty
seventh of July, retrograding past him
on the twenty,sixth of August, and final
ly passing him on the third of Novem-
Der in direct melton again, Saturn be-
ing in retrograde motion all the time
On the ninth of November Venus and
Jupiter will again be in conjunction,
being about three hours distance from
the sun. They will not, however, be
nearer than about TWO and one-half de-
grees, Venus being at her greatest hell
ocentric latitude SOUTH and Jupiter but
little past his descending node. During
the months of September, October and
November the four planets, Venus,
, Jupiter, Mars and Saturn, will all be
visible in the evening sky, forming in
the first halt of November two pairs,
i Venus and Jupiter, low in the southwest,
and Mars and Saturn high in the south,
east, about eight or nine degrees below
the equinoctial, a sight as beautiful as il
: is rare.

ONE of the greatest displays of anna
teur rope walking ever seen occurs daily
in laying the foot bridge on the wire
ropes over the East river New York, to
Brooklyn. The narrow flooring is laid
in sections of twenty feet in length. The
man carrying the outer end OF the section
to be laid walks backward on single
rope until the inner end joins that al
ready laid when he stoops down. places
it in position, and steps from the rope ON
to the walk. This, at the height Of
two hundred and seventy feet, is said 70
be the most dangerous part OF the work
Of building the bridge.
