EngIand's Alternative.

1t is difficult To see how the coils
ion between Russia and England
can be averted in the pass to which
things have come now. England
has virtually refused to participate
in the conference and Russia has
virtually declined to make any fur
Their concessions. The rest OF Eu.
rope, unfortunately for England,
seems to feel no further interest in
the matter, and if 1.-The tight little
island should move, the prospects
are that she will have to do so on
her own account. How she can
withdraw a; this stage, even suppos-
ing she wishes to do so, it is impos-
sible to conjecture except on the
theory that she is willing to submit
to a humiliation that will permanent
ly impair her influence in European
AFFAIR.". No one believes that Eng
would do such thing, and hence
the difficulty of seeing how war is to
be averted. One must confess that
| Russia has wasted none of the time
secured by her profound diplomacy.
The strength of the Cars position
in Turkey can only be estimated,
because all military movements in
that quarter have been carried on
without ostentation and almost with
secrecy. Every time we hear any
thing, however. it relates to some
new Russian advance or concentra'
ton at strategic point, some great
military work either permanent OF
preparatory in its nature. Already
Russia has provided a line Of com
muuication which cannot be imper
lied by any contingencies in Rouma
MIA or the Danubian valley. The
weary and expensive marches
, through Bulgaria are avoided, ant
a base of operations established a

REMARKABLE SUCCESS.

The success Of the leading literary paper
of the West, THE CHICAGO LEDGER is truly
remarkable Since its introduction 10 the
reading public, six years ago, The LEDGER
has steadily advanced in favor, ana is now
acknowledged second TO no paper OF the
kind in the country. Its circulation IL
national, and has been obtained through
the efforts of its publishers to produce a
paper of high moral character, aud at the
same time sell it at price consistent with
the present hard times. That they have
succeeded, aud we'll, too, the thousands OF
readers Of THE LEDGER scattered from
Maine to Texas and from Oregon to Florida
willbear testimony. THE CHICAGO LEDGER
is large forty-eight column weekly paper,
which contains stories both complete and
continued, in each number, written by the
best authors of the day, and great variety
Of inSsrmstion interesting to every oae.
The subscription price of THE Ledger is
only Sl.50 per year, postage paid, and 1t Is
equal in every particular to other papers Of
the same character which sell for 3 year.
rhree copies Of this valuable paper will be
sent to any one who sends 10 cents and
them address to THE LKpGIR Chicago,

Mems Love and Self-love.

Girls are sometimes admonished
not to f1irt, because, however pleas
ant it might be to them, it might
break the hearts OF those with whom
they tiirt. Nonsense. We have heard
of victims of blighted affection, but
never yet came across one. Time, in
this sort Of matters, works wonders.
We doubt whether any man ever
vet died of a broken heart. Men
are more vain than women. There
are exceedingly few of them who are
not fattered by the idea of some
woman falling in love with them.
The lady for the moment affords
them this qualification of selflove.
She makes herself as agreeable as
she can. If the vanity of the man
leads him to believe that she has
fallen victim to his heart charms,
this is his fault, not hers. The
illusion has raised him to the seventh
heaven for brief period, and if the
period be short he has been the gain
er. In one of De Bernard's novels
he describes an old captain who lives
supremacy happy because he fancies
that, years ago, some girl died OF
broken heart because he had de.
clined to marry her. He carries
about her portrait, and on all occa-
sions takes it out and weeps over it.
One day, however, he meets the girl,
who had not died, but had married
a grocer, and forgot all about the
captain. lie is in despair. He eau
no longer indulge in the luxury of
grieving over the sad fate of the oh.
ject of his youthful affections. Flirt
on, young ladies, and do not mag
inc that the amusement will break
the heart of any one. 1t may wound
his vanity, quite likely, and where
this is the only quality the man has,
the blow may stagger him. But il
, will do him gOod-show him his
real selfishness. So flirt on, young
ladies, but at the same time tenn
! per the blow to the tenderness OF
. the youth who is to receive it.
