Bismarck Interviewed.

The following are additional points of Prince Bismarck's conversation with the correspondent of the. London ,Zsnases The Prince said he saw that England would go to war on the question of Bull garia, and, therefore, when, on June 21, the negotiations between England and Russia broke down, he hastened to the rival plenipotentiaries and caused them to renew their negotiations. Bismarck supposed an agreement could be readily come to on the question of the frontiers of Roumella, etc. lie did not believe any serious difficulty could arse relative to Greece. The Greeks were doubtless an interesting people if it were ques, tion of choosing between the Greeks and Turks, he should prefer the Greeks as, more civilized; but the Turks, although they would readily yield to Austria, who is great and formidable, would defend themselves with all, their might against the Greeks. It was as if Germany ], under the first French Empire, had been required to yield to a small secondary State because she had been compelled to submit to the mighty power of Ma poleon. Bismarck added, that, for his part, he would certai4ly accept all con sessions which were obtainable for Greece, but he anticipated no serious struggle.
 In relation to Batoum Prince Bismarck said the fact must not be forgotten that the Russians had two bonds concerning it-one from Turkey and the other from England. The Czar had also spoken out on the subject. He (Bismarck) should certainly be delighted to hear of Russian concessions, but hoped the question would be discussed outside of the congress, and laid before it entirely solved. It had always been asserted, even before England entered into an agreement, that sbe would never go to war for Batoum he trusted she would not do so more readily now. He did not think Russia would be obliged to be- siege Batoum if the congress ceded it to her; she would probably content her self with blockading it.

A College Trick.

:. ' | The Ithacai golrraal has spicy ac- count of 9 trick served on two verdant Cornell Freshmen by some of their classmates. They were invited to an in- dignatipn meeting at the room of one of the projectors of the scheme. g,SWhen the business hour arrived, the chairman, self-appointed, arose in full v1ew of an august assemblege of seven men, four of whom were in the compact. He said that President White had recently been generous enough to present the Uni versity'with solid silver bust of him self, atia cost of more than $5, ,0OO, and that the faculty had decided that so much silver was, in their opinion, never intended by any Silver Commission nor by Secretary Sherman to, remain in such dormant state, and. had consequently, at the instigation of, Professor Russell, ordered the bust to be melted and cast into elegant cups for the class of 1881 to compete for. Several other. speeches followed, all hurling lyirulent castiga- tions at the originator of their madness
 The four who were " in" then by tacit consent fopned themselves into a packed committee, and nominated Messrs. s. and R. to constitute 8 committee that should embody within itself the bulging indignation of the class of '81 and carry it to Professor Fiske, with the request that heI should intercede and prevent the completion of such an awful and das- tardly act. This committee was elected on the first ballot, and it's individual members arose, amid cheers from six throatsj to express their gratitude for the high honor of being placed in such an important and worthy position. Great encouragement was given the committee, and with all haste they sought their rooms and most elegant attire and re. paired to the house of Professor. Fiske. They presented themselves as an 's In. dignant Committee !" selected from ''81, and commenced detailing the object of their visit. The Professor listened long enough to see the point, and then told them, that, as committee, they might as we'll quietly resign, for they were probably sold. ...

The Suicide of a Dog.

The Lincoln Journal says Our readers may remember the drowning last Sunday of the little six-year-old boy, Dany. The ohild had @ little sdog who was his constant companion and play
 mate. When the accident occurred the dog was with the poy, and, by his strange conduct and uneasiness, attracted atten- tion. While the boy was lying in the bottom of the stream the dog would run to the child's mother and then toward the place where the boy was supposed to be, and finally plunged in and swan around or over the spot where his little matter lay. After the body had been placed ill the coffin the dog manifested a strong desire to see the child, and when the lid of the coffin was raised he licked the dead face, and seemed to feel intense grief. In short time the dog went out to the railroad track and lay down on the road, as it had done many times before but upon the approach of the train he laid himself upon the rall and deliber- ately permitted the train to pass over his body-being killed. The mother, al the time of the drowning, supposed the child was at home, and therefore neg. lected to obey the hint given by the dog.

Mrs. Jenks's GirlhOOd.

{ ? , i
 44The Meadville (Penn. L,sder says : " Mrs. Jenks, who has been testifying before the Potter Committee in Wash ington, lived in this city about twenty three years ago. Her mother was 3 widow, and for a long time resided in the old house just north of the Odd-fellows' Home, on the Waterford Turnpike about a mile from Diamond Park. Mrs. Mur- dock had been married in Scotland to a man named Douglass. Mrs. Mhrdock was deserted by her husband after com ing here, and supported herself by prac- ticing midwifery and nursing the sick. She was employed in the family of w. H.. Doughty, and is described by Mrs.
 Doughty as being woman of more than ordinary intelligence. She claimed to be Q graduate of 8 medical school at Glasgow, though she never exhibited it's diploma. While here Mrs. Murdock was very poor, and evidently had 8 hard struggle with the world. The little girl Agnes Douglass Murdock-now Mrs. Jenks-is distinctly remembered by many of our citizens. She attended school at the academy in 1855, and is called to mind by Prof. s. P. Bates, oi this city, who was then teaching there, as a particularly bright and intelligen! girl. Agnes at that time is described as a very handsome and fascinating little girl, keen eyed and lsharp-tongued
 slight in build, fair complexion, though not decided blonde Twenty three

Thersteward's cnalienge Cup Races

Thegreat event at Henley, England, on thd 4th was the first trial heat for the EStewatd's Challenge Cup, The Colum- bia College crew took the inside posi- tion, near the Berks shore, the Dublin University boat was in the middle, and the Sho-wae-cae-mette on the Bucks side of the rlver. The boats got off at 1:3O P. M. The Sho-wae- -cae-mettes mis- understood the starting signal, and got off badly, while the Dublins made fine start, and soon led both the American boats by two lengths. TJ The 6 Shoes 5 were far over on the Bucks, side, while the other crews were close to the Berks shore, the Dublins crowding the Colnm- bla boat, intent on getting her water. The Columbias rowed good course in grand form, overtaking the Dublin, hand over hand. As they rounded the point the Dublins steered in shore, crashing into the Columbia just as the latter was beginning to head the Irish crew, and this in spite of the shouts of the umpire "Dublin, take your right course !" The two boats siisentangled themselves, and when they did 50 the Columbia was leading the Dublin. Long beforeIthis the "Shoes" had taken a decided lead, having made up what they lost at first by d uniform Lstroke of At from the start. At the time of the foul, which occurred at the end of the mile, they were one length and quarter Eahsad bf the fouling crews:~~- Upon wit messing the foul the "Shoes bow gave aHserder to ease all," and dropping \ th eir4 stroke to 40, the crew proceeded easiiy ] the Nadeau brothers pulling with one hand several lengths, and waving their red caps in answer to cheers on shore, notwithstanding the1other crews had cleared. !. ,Opposis se the, grand stand the "Shoes raised their stroke to AS, to afford thet spectators an exhibition ot their powers, in the unusual time of $40. Padding to their boat-house, the " Shoes" sprang upon the float with agility, cheerily offering to row the race over again if necessary. They were al- together as fresh as when they started. The Columbias were also very fresh on leaving their boat, and made claim to be allowed to row again in the final heat, but this was disallowed by the Stewards, on the ground that the. a..Shoes were so far Ahead that they 6onld hcG lave been caught. The Dublins did not deny the foul, which was allowed in favor of the Columbias.
 The time of thes<.f Shoes was so It stood thus onthe Stewards 'itime4book for two hours, but was changed on the book to 8:21.

osleru.-Market gardeners have quite

a Celery.-Market gardeners have quite given up trench-planting, but set the plants on the surface in welllmanured soil, and do not commence earthing up until the plants have made large share of their growth. The dwarf varieties are grown almost exclusively. Ground that has been heavily manured for early crops of cabbages, etc., is laid out in rows three feet apart, and the plants set at six inches in the rows. Press the earth firmly around the plants, and keep them free from weeds.
 Egg Ptants, when fairly established, may be pushed with liquid manure every two or three days. Where potato bugs abound, the plants have an almost hopeless '' struggle for existence. o
 Squashes, Melons, and all of the family, are attacked by insects from the first show of the seed-leaf to the gather ing of the fruit. Those which attack the foliage are bad enough, but the borers, which enter the vine near the roof, wait until the plant seems out of danger, and then bring it to 8 sudden end. Several advise covering the vine with earth for the first three or four joints from the root. More fruit is usually set than can be matured, and it is we'll to remove the excess. Mem. Winter squashes, even when very young, are better for the table than any summer squash. Allow the vines of these to take root at the joints.
 IStOeet Potatoes need to be kept clear of weeds until they cover the ground. In northern climates, the vines should be prevented from taking root at the joints, which is easily done by running rake or smooth pole under, and lifting them.-Agrtculturist for July.

Burning of a Theatre in India.

s The Times, of India, gives particulars Ahmeduggur on the 12th of June. A we'll known Psrsee theatrical club from Bombay, it appears, had been entertain ing the public of Ahmednuggur. The thing was novelty there. the acting and scenery were both far better than our out-of-the-way native public had. any right to expect, and, as consequence, anunusually large audience was attract ed. A commodious mandup was erected outside of the city, opposite the Native Infantry lines, to serve as theatre. On the night of the 11th ult. the house was unusually crowded to witness the per formance of ''Situmgeer, or The Tyrant," one of the best known and most popular tragedies in the Victoria Companys little repertoire. The play was over by 10 o'clock, and the audience were laughing and chuckling over the humors of an amusing farce, when suddenly crack ling noise, which increased to roar as it neared them, was heard from the lower end of the mandwa. Then arose 8 cry of '' Fire l" which deepened into terri ble shriek when it was seen that the cell ing was already in blaze. For a moment the audience were paralyzed with fright, but as the flames spread a | furious rush was made for the little en- trance, and many fell and were trampled under foot. The whole pavilion quickly filled with flames. and by the time three quarters of the audience had escaped, the strong easterly wind caught the flame l and carried it like @ scorching sheet of fire quickly across the interior of the booth. By this time, though the door was still blocked with struggling mass, most of those who were able to move were safe, but the others lay grooming and yelling in the agonies of an awful death. The European residents ran to the spot at the first alarm, and eased the block at the doorway by pulling the front row of the crowd boldly out as best they could, and with tremendous efforts.

The whole fire did not occupy many minutes, but as the scorched and wounded people were pulled out from near the entrance and passed into the open air it seemed an eternity before the flames died down sufficiently to enable the rescuing party to drag the dead out of the centre of the auditorium. The sight was simply awful. About 40 men had either been burned to death or had more merclfully been suffocated by the smoke. Nine ot the persons who were got out alive died the same day in the hospital. Some oi the bodies were so much disfgured by the fire that fathers and mothers could not even recognize their very sons ano daughters. The cause of the fire is un known.

Making Up.


 A Russian colonel, lately appointed chief police master of one of the most populous towns of the Baltic provinces, has hit upon very novel plan for -sub- duing fshwives. "You must be locked up in the same cell until you have kissed each other" This was invariably the sentence of the new magistrate in every case of female broil which was brought before him. He knew very well that all though kissing is habit with Russian men, it is not much in use with the women of Muscovy, least of all with the fishwives.. The excited women railsd for time louder than ever, protested that they would die sooner than give this humiliating sign of reconciliation, and then, after few hours confinement, called the jailer, and informed him that they had kissed, z As the conGliatory act Uwas without Withesses, they were told that they must repeat the kiss pub icly in the market place. They were compelled, in the midst of their sisters in trade, to kiss each other three times.

At a9 Picnic.

Flo
 There was picnic in Eby's Grove. near Dayton, Ohio, one day. Some of the young men wandered down the river. In 3 secluded nook they discovered a pile of female clothing. They looked into the river for signs of life or death but saw nothing. A Newspaper reporter of the party took down all the surround ings, rummaged among the clothes, and found there were several sets or suits of them, little and big. In one of the pockets love letter was found, written by Hal to Julia. The clothing was ten- derly bundled up and taken to the picnic camp, stuffed under 8 buggy seat, and the party started home feeling very sad 1t did not occur to them at once that it was a little strange young woman and two or three little girls should commit suicide all at once. It was perhaps Julia and her little sisters who had thus plunged into eternity. Itwas very sad case all agreed disappointed love per haps-and on the theory of suicide the love letter would be good thing for the account. The clothes were taken to the police office. The reporter was satisfied that he had good thing. The account was read evidently, for early in the morn ing an angry father came raging into DO. lice quarters demanding the clothes. His daughter had taken walk on the rlvel bank with two or three little .sneiphbol girls, and the place being secluded and the temperature warm, and the water in. viting, they concluded to take bath Soon they heard voices in the woods, an6 hid themselves in the bushes. They huddled together as quiet as mice unti the intruding young men had come ant gone-gone with their clothes. Tht only thing they could do was to remai1 quietly where they were until after darl and then steal to their homes in tn, kindly shadows of night.

Emaciatiou a Remediable Defect.

Leanness not only detracts from personal cominess, but is an index that the blood is deficient in nutritive properties. To remedy emacia iou, enrich and purify the blood, which will then develop healthy flesh. This object is mos readily attained through the agency of the great blood fertilizer and depu- rent, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which en- ables the stomach to extract from the food taken into it ample nourishment for the sys- tenn, removes all obstacles to complete diges- kidneys to vigorous action, incites those or gans to strain from the vital fluid in it's pas sage through then impurities which would otherwise impair its fesh-creating qualities Not only do the Bitters promote the develop ment of solid fibre, but they also increase muscular power and elasticity, overcome nervousness, bai ish mental depression, and protect the system against disease.
