HEAVY FAILURE,


HAVANA, December 31.-Polledo, Rianda
& Co., large slisar-traders, failed to-day.
Their liabilities are not yet known.
The Eastern War.
THE BALKAN PASSES OCCUPIED BY RUSSIANS.
BoGoT, December 31.-After an exceed
ingly difficult passage over snow-covered
mountains and frozen foot-paths the van
guard of Russian division has occupied
the Balkan passes between Aral, Konak,
and Sophia, and the cavalry has already
been stationed on the Sophia road. The
Turks were taken by surprise, and conse.
gently the Russians had only five wounded.
TIE PRESS ON THE PEACE QUESTION.
VIENNA, December 31.-The official Eve-
ming Post says: .'There are grounds for
believing Russia will not at once reject, but
will reply in suitable terms to England't
inquiry which raises the question OF peace
in very general terms; but only an opti
mist can hope that by Epg1ands action any
real foundation is secured for the c0nciu-
sion OF peace"
The Political Correspondence says it is
probable that Russia will reply that she is
ready to open negotiations II the Porte di-
rectly addresses itself to ST. Petersburg.
NUMUkED BUhNlAd Of SOfuih d iulshSs
BELGRADE, December Sit IS rumored
the Turks have retrcated from Sophia after
burning it, and arc marching towards the
Ichitmar detile to bar the Russian advance
upon Tartar BoZarjak.
RAGUsA, December 3l.-The negotiations
Tor the surrender OF AHtivaTi have been
broken off, because the commandant de-
manded that the garrison should be allowed
to leave with all their arms, and even their
artillery, and go to Scutari. The Montene-
grins have recommended the bombardment
OF Antivari.
RUSSIA'S DISPOSITION FOR PEACE.
ST. PETERSBURG, December 31.-The re-
quest OF the British Government for infor-
nation as to whether Russia was disposed
to enter into peace negotiations at the desire
OF the Porte has been received. II state
ments have been published abroad respect
ing the Russian answer and the conditions
which she would propose for settlement,
such intelligence must be premature and in
accurate. Nothing whatever has been de.
lermined upon, though in weI-informed
circles it is assumed that Russia will make
no harsh reply to steps taken with the OBJ.
iect OF paving the way to peace, but will
show herself accessible to any earnest en-
deavor for the restoration Of peace.

Can't Swallow Col. Tillman.

The Lawrenceburg Press, the
only outspoken greenback paper IN
Middle Tennessee that we know of,
declines to support Col. Tillman.
We copy its reasons Tor So doing
The late convention which met at
Nashville acted very imprudently in
putting before the people of Ten
nessee, the man whom they did.
While we endorse the movement of
the National Greenback party, be-
lieving as we do, by judging the fu-
ture from the past, that relief to the
oppressed people of the United
States, will be reached only by this
party, we do not PROPOSE to lend
our assistance to the helping into
office of broken down politicians, or
of trying to re-establish men who
have been forsaken ty their own
party. Though Judge Tillman now
stands on the Greenbsck platform.
his record shows that he has
been one of the most extreme men
for hard money. Eight years ago
when in the Congress of the United
States his record shows that Judge
Tillman invariably cast his vote
with the hard money party.
Therefore we shall not advocate
the election of Judge Tillman. How
ever, we are only one of the people
of Tennessee, and speak only the
sentiments of a single individual.
We have the utmost confidence in
the capacity of the people to select
those who will serve them best, and
shall not endeavor to make any
contrasts or comparisons between
the aspiranLs. Neither shall we ad
duce any reasons why a voter
should support either aspirant.
We shall advocate the organization
of an Independent Greenback Par
ty, endorsing such nominees as we
like and rejecting those whom we
dislike. We do not propose to play
into the hands of the Republican
party, nor to be dictated to by Dem
Ocrats.

A Wonderful Spring.

Silver Springs, Florida, is one of
the greatest curiosities of the
South. II bubbles up in a basin
nearly 100 feet deep and about an
acre in extent, sendi-g from it a
deep stream 60 to 100 feet wide,
and extending six or eight miles to
the Ochlwha river. In the spring
itself sixty boats may lie at anchor,
quite fleet. The spring thus
forms a natural inward port, to
which three steamers run regularly
from the st. Johns, making close
connection with the ocean steamers
at Pilatka. The clearness of the
water is truly wonderful. 1t seems
even more transparent than air.
You see the bottom so feet below
the bottom of your boat, the exact
form of the smallest pebble, the
outline and color of the leaf that is
sunk, and all the prismatic colors
OF the rainbow are reflected. Large
fish swim in it, every scale visible
and every movement distinctly
seen. If you go over the spring In
a boat, you will see the tissues in
the rock from which the river rush
es upward like an inverted cataract.
