Hobart Pasha writes to the London

81 remark that Russia always insists that,
however much she may curtail her demands
territorially speaking, her new territory must
include the Kilia mouth of the Danube. OF
course it must-that is, if she is to have any
thing of great value commercially and
strategically, for the following reasons: At
the Killa, or northermost outlet, or, as it is
called branch, of the Danube, the sand-banks
are growing so fast to seward that already
a harbor fairly protected from all winds has
been formed between the point of sand at
the entrance of the branch and the main
land, distance of about two miles; in fact,
during the late war was anchored there
with several ships in perfect safety. In a
few years capital harbor viii be formed
Admiral Sprett, r.. N, who has surveyed that
coast, can corroborate what state. In adj
dition to this, there is another point of still
greater importance connected with the Kilia
branch of the Danube which would be gener-
ally known. It is this-that whoever COM
mands the Kilia branch of the Danube COM
mands all trade in that river; at all events,
so far as the entrance and some ten miles up
ward is concerned; because by deepening the
channel in that branch he would invite Git
must be remembered that the Kilia branch
is the first outlet the water in the great river
finds in its downward course) the great rush
of water into its channels. This rush would
of course lessen the depth of water in the two
other or lower branches, and this little game
might be carried on SO as TO render Sulina
and st. Georges mouths mere mud pools.
1t may be all very well to talk of retribution
for the names of the Emperor Nicholas, but
strongly suspect that the great champions
of the cause of humanity and religion think
more of possessing snug little port in the
Black sea, with the power of any day stop
ping the commerce of the Danube, or at all
events commanding it, than of the dear de-
parted. If Russia is to have the Kilie branch
of the Danube, the waters, works, ETC., mus
be in the hands of the European commits

regret it. Yes, and to the very mouth of the

Enquirer.
The perennial rumor of an impending
cabinet change, which was sent away from
here last night, turns out to be as baseless
and senseless as such -rumors generally are.
Your correspondent has the authority of
President Hayes for an absolute denial of
the statement that any such change is con-
templated by him or likely to occur, so far
as he knows. In a conversation relative to
this and similar rumors, the President said:
Il do not know how these reports originate.
They must be purely imaginative, for
there is not the slightest warrant for them so
far as know" OF his cabinet, as q whole,
ne expressed himself entirely satisfied,
both politically and personally. "While,
of course, We sometimes differ said
he, "on questions of public policy, as
independent and thinking men naturally
would, it is not true that there has ever been
any misunderstanding between us or any
thing unpleasant between us. On the con-
trary, the relations between all the members
of the cabinet and myself have been from
the first, and are now, entirely harmonious
and pleasant, and it is one of my ambitions
so far as am concerned, that my admins
tration shall be notable as one whose cabinet
was ever existent with it and in it entirely from
first to last, unbroken by any changes, and
unmarried by any flaw of unkindly feeling -

The celebrated and eccentric John

the fact, when he was child, that his
mother clasped his little hands in hers,
and taught him to repeat: ''Our Father
who artin Heaven, ETC." he should have
been French infdel. Thus the influence
of a mother often goes down through the
years of manhood, to beautify and adorn
manly Character.

politicians try to nominate him he will
give them notice that they must seek
somebody else.
