THE LOCK BETWEEN Enc
LAND AND RUSSIA.
II is enough to make mankt

1t is enough to make mankind
stand tiptoe to think Of a war be-
tween England and Russia. Une
like the war between Prussia and
France, the cause of the quarrel is
no local one. 1t embraces matters
important to all Europe. That
grand prize, which no civilized ruler
has been allowed to possess since
the days Of Constantine, is to be
wrestled for by the two giants of
Europe. Even Egypt, the seat of
power in by-gone ages, is in the
balance. Even if Austria and Pruss
sia should hold aloof, England
must not be despised. But it must
be remembered that when she de-
molished the dynasty Of Napoleon
she had Russia and Austria to aid
her.
Mr.. Jennings, the intelligent
correspondent of the New York
World, wrote three weeks ago
touching the situation, and we clip
the following from his letter :
Leave the Sultan, therefore, his in
dependence. or prepare for his disAp-
pearance from Europe altogether. u
Thus placed Oh the horns of dilem-
ma, what will Russia do? If Greece
should insist on having Thessaly, Epi-
rus and Roumelia. and Austria de-
mand Bosnia and Herzegovina, and
England take Gallipoli and Egypt,
the great prize which Russia seemed
to have in her hands Will be rendered
com paratively valueless. And ell the
things that have mentioned are quite
OF tie cards, Austria and England
are in accord. and as for Greece, she is
eager To be let loose at Russia, Then
Italy is believed to be anxious to join
England, and she is not power to be
despised. Even little Greece, they
say, can put so, 600 first rate troops in
| the field. Russia has reached her
goal. and now to be turned back from

not certain that they would succeed in
tLeir ultimate end. This is the view
taken in Russia, and there ia muc' to
support it. As a wejI-infOTmed cores
pondent at st. Petersburg writes,
"thrcateDed with the complete eXtinc.

tan will recognize that Russia is his

otherwise, and especially so as to

1t is well known that one of the

particular can teacher be more usefu
to bis pupils than by intoxicating a habit
of neatness, and in no one thing, perhaps,
will the importance of our example be so
distinctly felt. The superiority offemale
teachers in this respect is, perhaps, one
the strongest reasons for the grow. OF
preference which IS given to them ing
every institute I saw young gentlemen
who, in manner and personal appearance,
were all that could be wished; butt saw
also many who in these respects we're far
better fitted to be warnings than models
for the imitation Of youth. I do not wish
the young teacher to cxpend all herearns
in dress, but DO wish to see every teach
er careful in regard to external influence.
His clothes may always be neat and whole,
however coarse. His boots may always
be cleaned. His hair. NAV always be
