Terrible SuGerings of a Child

A few days ago seven-year-old son of
John +. Reith, of Lancaster, Pa, died
after the most terrible sufferings. Sew
eral years ago he was attacked with what
is famirialy known as spotted fever"
and after long illness he recovered, with
'he loss of speech and hearing. The
effects of the disease were also manifest
ed in another direction, and he was sew
eral years old before he could walk. When
he did walk his gait was that of a per-
son very much under the influence of
liquor, and it was quite distressing to
witness his staggering efforts at walking
But his sufferings did not end here, and
last October be became perfectly blind
Deaf, dumb, blind and scarcely able to
walk his condition was one of the most
pitiable that can be imagined. About q
month ago the final blow came. AL
efforts TO partake of nourishment were in
vain; he could not swallow. After al
utter abstinence from all food for the re
inarkable period of t,oenty-nine days h,
passed away; his sufferings were ended.

RUSSIA EEFUsEs TO LIBERATE THRM-
THE PEACE PROSPECTS.
LONDON, May 8.
Specials from Berlin state that Russia
has decided to refuse to liberate the
Turkish prisoners of war numbering
about 100000, in consequence of the un-
certainty that. .thePorte willmaintain neu-
trality in the event of war between Eng
land and Russia.
The st. Petersburg Agence Russo says
Russia has no thought of setting aside
Englands legitimate influence or exer-
cising excluside preponderance of pewer
| in Turkey. This is shown by the fact
that despite Russian sacrifices English
influence is still predominant at Constan-
tinople.
! The Porte's answer about the evacua-
ton of the fortresses has been sent to st
Petersburg. So important a change OF
the situation is unlikely until the Russian
reloinder is returned. A Russian coup d,
man is no longer dreaded or believed &c
be possible in view of the condition and
numbers of the Turkish army.

fact that despite Russian sacrifices Eng

PEACEFUL FEELING IN ENGLAND.
The good impression in regard to the
political situation continues to prevail
here. f
Sir Stafford Northcote, Chancellor Of
the Exchequer, addressed a dtputation
at Oxford yesterday. In The course Of
his remarks the Chancellor said that the
government were still engaged in diff
cult negotiations, but had hopes, despite
all misrepresentation, of arriving al a
peaceful settlement.
The good impression created by the
news of the journey Of Count Schouval-
off, Russian Ambassador here, to ST
Petersburg Is strengthened by the fact
that he had long interviews with Lord
Salisbury, Foreign Secretary, and Lord
Beaconsfield, the Premier, before his
departure. It is believed that he takes
the British reply to certain inquiries anG
proposals determined upon at 81. Peters
burg ten days ago, having in view both
the withdrawal of the Russians and
British from Constantinople and the
facilitating of the assembling of the Con
gress.
HIGH HOPES OF SUCCESS.
Count Schouvaloff will arrive in st
Petersburg on Saturday or Sunday, and
is expected back here in two weeks from
to-day, so nothing decisive will be known
until next week. High hopes are enter.
tained IN the best diplom attic quarters Of
the results of his mission.
