THE EASTERN SITUATION.
RUSSIAN COURT INTRIGUEs.

+ :
LONDON, May 2O.-A Vienne cor
respondent telegraphs the conciliato-
ry disposition in St. Petersburg was
maintained to the end Of Count
SchouValof's visit, despite efforts to
the contrary, and the struggle, po-
litical and personal, which has been
going on for the last week in st.
Petersburg, was decided in favor Of
Count Schouvalof. He is said to
have waited for an attack, but at
the first interview with the emperor
he assaulted the treaty Of San Stefano
and its trainers boldly and frankly.
The impression produced on the
szar's mind is reported to have been
so deep that no efforts of his adver-
saries could weaken it. The effect
of the count s communication about
the extent Of the concessions which
in his opinion must be made, iifwar
with England was to be avoided,
was startling indeed, and found .ex-
preston in the first reports as to the
English demands being deemed ex-
orbitant, and at the same time SO
little precise as to not offer sufficient
basis for negotiat ion. This phase,
however passed away, and now there
can scarcely be a doubt that Count

The Mortified Mail suggests
that the ensuing Congressional con-
vention in this district should be
called to meet at Faribault. For
our part we think it should be held
at Shakopee, as that city is the most
centrally located in the district, with
railroads leading to it from all parts
of the district. But should objections
be raised to Shakopee on account Of
being the home Of the present mem
Der of Congress, we would vote to
hold it at St. Peter, as we think that
it is not right to subject the dele
gates from this end Of the district to
go to the other end every time con-
yention is held.

Iberia Gleani1,gs.
IBERIA, MAY 18th, 1878.

Editor RevieW:
Iberia is in mourning! Her Bible
Glass is dead. After brief existence
OF tive weeks it guilty passed away,
but It's friends are consoled with the
thoughts that, short as it's life was. it
done more good than the minister who
crushed out it's life. That minister's
hearers are ssnowSmore numerous than
ever. The last time he was here he had
eight hearers, an increase Of one over
the Sabbath before.
1t is thought that the man WHO ate
q eggs on Easter, may recover. Don
say anything about it, but Thomas "A.
Wilson, OF Albion, has done it. Keep
quiet or, theboys may .shiveree. ?
Some of the boys of the Iberia B. B.
Club got on their dignity during a
game the other day, and quite time
ensued. After calling one another
names for a time, peace settled over
them and they trod the homeward road.
One OF the players claimed the right to
the bat. while others maintained that
he was wrong. He saw his mistake
but not in time to avert the trouble.
The boys are good fellows for all that.
The Albion B. B. Club is now in
running order. They have chosen first
nine, with Ad. Lent for captain. Good
luck to you, boys.
James Rhamy, our singing master,
picture man, ect., has quietly slid 2
for parts unknown, leaving his family
behind. May he be successful in sci.
ling those pictures that don't belong to
him. He borrowed a few from his
friends, for the occasion. (SPY.)

The South's Little Bill. .
The New York Tribune.

/ The South's little bill against the
National Treasury is so big that we
have had to give it in sections. The
first two installments included no
private claims and consisted solely Of
bills Tor public improvements. The
total sum asked for by the bills of
this character which were introduced
between the middle Of last October
and the middle Of March, was $780,
100000, estimates of amounts,
where they were Unavoidable, being
invariably moderate. To this we
add to-day another item Of the little
bill that of private claims intro
duced during the same time. In es-
timating the amount asked for in
those bills which do not name the
figure Of the claim, very low aver
age has been taken, so low as doubt
less to be considerably under the
truth. But with these estimates, the
sum demanded by these bills is more
than $4,000, 900, putting the whole
demand made by the South during
five months of the session at 1902.
900, 900 at the very least. But, as
is stated elsewhere an attorney for a
large number Of Southern claimants,
who would be the last man in the
world to brighten the country with
too alarming an array Of his clients
expectations, has shown that three
large classes Of private claims, now
before Congress, amount to$117, OOO,-
900, making the grand total prob
ably atleast $500, 100000. Perhaps
these are figures enough for tax-pay-
ers to feed on, but one more sugges
ton Of the size Of the Southern appe.
tite will do no harm. The House
Committee on War Claims has had
under consideration a bill referring
all war claims to the Southern Claims
Commission. Under this bill it was
stated in our Washington Dispatch
es, some weeks since, that twenty
five thousand separate claims would
be referred to that Commission. On
ly two thousand of this number are
before Congress, all the rest are be-
fore different departments of the
Government, 10000 being before
the Quartermaster General S office a.
lone. No doubt vast proportion
of these claims are from Southern
or border States. Who will dare
guess how many million dollars they
call for? s.

The Republican Congressional
convention for the third district has
been called to meet at Minneapolis,
July 10th. The friends Of Stewart
were for holding the convention at
a later day, and at some other point
besides St. Paul or Minneapolis; but
Washburn's friends insisted upon
holding the convention at an early
day, at Minneapolis, and finally tri-
umphed.

It appears that the cold weather
week before last was not wholly con-
fined to Minnesota alone, as kilograms
in Chicago papers from nearly one
hundred localities in Illinois, Indiana,
Michigan, Wisconsin and Iowa,
show that Minnesota escaped COM

with these States.

lSchouvaloff goes back to London en-
powered to make concessions in ac-
cordance with the British point of
view. Nay, more, as is believed in
St. Petersburg, to offer great conces-
sions. It will, however, be impos-
sible to Judge whether Schouvalof' S
success is apparent or real until he
arrives in London.

bG~ WILD CAT KILLEp.-On Satur-
day night last ferocious looking ami
NAL, male Wild Cat, was killed by a
lad named Joseph Griffith, about ii
years old, on the farm of Henry Shep-
herd, Esq, in the field known as the
"Varner field" on large oak tree, the
cat weighing II pounds, and measuring
three feet in length. 1t seems that
young Griffith heard his dogs barking,
surprising that they had freed coon.
He went to the tree, some distance from
bis fathers residence, and climbed the
tree for the purpose of catching the
coon. The night being dark be observ
ed something coming down toward him
which he supposed to be the coon, and
when he got in reach of the animal he
struck it in the head with Ratchet he
had in his hand, which stunned the ami
NAL and fell TO the ground, and then
a fight commenced with the dogs.
Young Griffith then also engaged in
the fight until the animal was killed.
The fight was severe one, and had it
not been for young Griffith assisting
the dogs they would have been over
powered. Not until then did young
Griffith discover that the coon was a
Wild Cat, and the extreme danger he
was in. There is cave near this place
in which the Cat has been staying for
some years. Tracks were often seen
there, supposing them to be tracks of a
Bear, which had his "den" in the cave.
The hide of this animal was presented
to DR.. Reynolds, who will have it stuff
ed, and which can be seen at his office.

death of our fellow Vestryman, M.
PAGE ANDREWS, cut down in the
midst of a life of usefulness TO those de-
pendent upon him, and the church OF

with the memory of his father, the Rev.
g. w. Andrews, is broken.
Resoiued, That while this is our sor-
row-our joy is in the fact that our
brother, who was so suddenly called

H8 ECONOMY VS.. WAsTE.-Either
man must be contented with poverty
all his life, or else be willing to deny
himself some Injuries and save to lay
the base of independence for the future.
But if man defes the future and
spends all he earns, whether his earn
ings be one or ten dollars every day,
let him look for lean and hungry want
at some future day, for it will surely
come, no matter what he thinks. To
save is absolutely the only way to get a
solid fortune; there is no other certain
mode. Those who shut their eyes and
ears against these plain facts will be
forever poor, and for their obstinate re-
lection of truth mayhap die in rags aud
filth. Let them so die aud thank them
selves. But no! They take a sort of
recompense in cursing fortune. Great
waste of breath. They might as well
curse the mountains and eternal hills.
Fortune does not give away real and
substantial good. She sells them to
the highest bidder, to the hardest and
wisest bidder, for the boon. Men never
make so fatal mistake as when they
consider themselves creatures of faith;
tbs the sbeercst folly in the world.
Every man may make or mar his life,
which ever he may choose. Fortune
is for those who by diligence, honesty
and frugality place themselves in a posi-
ton TO grasp hold of fortune when it
appears in view. The best evidence of
honesty consists in diligence and fru-
galty.

s@ DEATH OF Mr.. NJ. P. ANDREWS.

H~ DEATH OF Mr.. NJ. p. ANDREWS.
As we stated in our last issue, that
on going to press we were startled by
the announcement of the death of Mr..
NJ. P. Andrews, we will now give some
space in our columns to testify to the
worth and character of that deceased
gentleman. Mr.. Andrews, as all gre
well aware, was the son OF the beloved
Rev. DR.. Z. w. Andrews, deceased, OF
this place. He was gentleman of the
most upright Christian character, citi'
zen beloved by all, friend of all, char
liable and always endeavoring to make
all around him happy and contented
He will be missed, because be was as it
were connecting link that bound ma
ny of US to his dear father. Mr.. An
drews was in attendance al the religious
worship at the Episcopal Church, OF
which he was so faithful a member, on
the Sunday preceding his death, and
also in town on Tuesday, two days be-
fore his death. He was taken sick on
Tuesday night, the 9Th, and died Oh
Thursday night, the 18th of March. His
disease, as pronounced by DIR. Reynolds,
was, as before stated, inflammation Of
the lungs, which extended to the heart;
all efforts to arrest its progress were un-
availing. Mr.. Andrews was in the 42nd
year of bis age. The funeral services
took place in the Episcopal Church of
this place, on Saturday last, at o'clock
p. NJ. Rev. j. P. Hubbard, Rector,
conducted the services, assisted by Rev.
VIM. Fl. Meade, of Charlestown, and
Rev. Mr. Grammar, of Leetown. Beau
tiful tributes of respect were paid to the
deceased by Revs Hubbard and Gram
mar. Numerous friends from various
parts of this and adjoining counties of
this State, as well as from Maryland,
were present to pay their tribute of
respect to their departed friend. After
the services at the Church, the remains
of our respected friend were conveyed to
Elmwood Cemetery, followed by large
concourse of mourning relatives and
friends, and as the sun was fast going
down behind the western horizon, and
amid tie singing of beautiful hymn,
his body was laid to rest in that beauti
full city of the dead.

~ PERsoNAL-R P. McGlincy,
local editor of the Elgin, Illinois, Aduo-
cate, upon invitation, addressed Con-
vention of Dairymen, recently in Iowa,
setting forth the advantages of dairying
over grain or cattle raising, and of the
advisability of organizing and maintain
ing boards of trade in dairy sections.
During bis rem arks be assured the peo-
pie OF Iowa that they had as fine pas.
ture lands, as pure water, and raised
an abundance of hay and grain, and
that the latter could be sent to market
to better advantage if concentrated into
butter and cheese, than by sending it to
market in bulk.

last by DIR. J. L, w. Baker, formerly
of this town and one OF our oldest and

be foundin the State. Twenty-one years
ago he pulled up stakes in this place for
Martiusburg, where LIE has resided ever
since and accumulated quite handsome
fortune. We thank him for box of
excellent cigars presented US. By the
way, we will just here also state that be

bust, and as young as be did twenty
years ago; but this sentence il not in
