THE EUROPEAN SETTLEMENT
Russia had to take short step when
Germany, France, England, Austria and
Italy stood by at Berlin and told her how
she must walk. The long step of the San
Stefano treaty which she had paid so much
blood and treasure to take was cOnSidera-
bly, shortened. She has gotten back Bessa-
rabira which was taken from her by the
Crimean war, gets some of Asiatic
Turkey including Batoum, the most i'm
portant Asiatic port on the Black sea,
has gotten many advantages for the Chris
tians in the Turkish dependencies andgiven
self government to several Of the Sultan S
provinces, but she has gained nothing COM
pared with what she wants and would have
had but for continental Interference. Rus

She has pushed towards India year after
year until she has now only one strip of
country between her and the English pos
sessions there, and that in the possession of
a Prince not unfriendly. Wher she gets
through she must have the Bospborus or
be destroyed by Europe to keep her quiet.

Correspondence OF the Staunton VIND1cAToR]
WASHINGTON, D. c.,
July 18th, 1878.
On Friday, the hottest day of the sea
son, about II o'clock, went to the CAPT
al to look up the Potter committee. After
some minutes search through the empty
halls and echo1ng corridors of the i'm
mepse building I found Mr. Potter and
| his committee in a large vaulted chamber
on the shady side of the capitol just under
the Congressional library.
| Mr.. Potter was in the chair and Messrs
Butler, Springer and Hiscock and the ste
| nographer seated around a large table
Gov. Kellogg was sitting in q comfortable
arm chair though not looking very COM
| fortably, vigorously plying palm leaf fan
in vain effort to keep cool under the Sc
rous disadvantages of d thermometer at
50 and fire of puzzling questions from
the investigating committee. The famous
jerks and some Florida witnesses waiting
sitting behind the committee inside of u
slight temporary railing. Outside of this
railing sat an army of reporters. while a
crowd of spectators filled up the standing
room and blocked up the door and hall
outside.
The courteous door-keeper handed your
reporter chair at one of the tables and he
proceeded to take the whole thing In and
down. Gen. Butler who has been describ-
ed in your columns before, had his big eye
cooked at the witness and his little eye
cooked at the chairman. His searching
questions were spoken in a loud and de-
liberate tone with that peculiar information
of voice suggestive of d mouth filled with
small shot.
GARRISON N. POTTER.
whom this investigation has made so ia
nous as the presiding officer of this sub
congressional court, is a little above medi-

however flash quickly upon provocation.
His thin dark hair is slightly grey, and
parted behind; he wore blue coat and
pants and blue cravat, no vest lin fact no

vest and every body was sweltering at that),
and a lon 6 heavy gold guard cham, his
wide cuffs ornamented with large gold
buttons were open and thrown back and

of the air Of swell, tho he presides with
dignity and frmness and maintains admit

very much Maj. Elder, the Attorney of
your city. While the writer was in the
room, he had nothing to say, but listened
attentively to the evidence, consulting
manuscripts and records meanwhile.
Mr.. Ei~cock is quite a handsome man,
with very fair complexion, blue eyes, thick
grey hair full short bl9wn beard and
dressed in a light colored alpaca suit,
with large light blue neck tie. He took
the witness after Gen. Butler had finished
and handled him with ungloved hands.

people of Rockingham shall decide what
part, it any, they shall take in the Conser-
vative Congressional Convention called to
meet in Staunton, August LIST: My view
as to what the people of Rockingham should
do is this there are two distinct parties
in Virginia. the division being ON the
State debt. In the legislature the line
between these parties was distinctly
drawn, one party assembling under Gen.
W. H. F. Lee and the other under Senator
Quesenberry. and later under J. H. Lacy.
The breach was clearly made there, though
it ought to have been made before-in the
August Convention, for in that body the
party power was clearly in the hands of
and welded by the Funding party Every
body knows that at that convention.

To live uprightly and purely in this age is
no play. young man who resolves to do it
must put himself as a fencer does when about
to be attacked, on his guard. A mild and
doye-like disposition does not hold man up
TO the line of duty at all times. There are the
mild, and there are also the heroic virtues of
Christianity and both find their proper mo-
ments of expression. There are times when
young man must say no, and no that has
no hint of possible yes in it. There are
times, also, when he must say yes, and make
it ring like the blast of a trumpet. Never
did young men need this quality and temper
more than they do to-day never were there
more opportunities for their exercise.

MISCELLANY


MODEL CONFESSION Seventy years ago in
Vermont town, a young awyer-a member
of large church-got drunk. The brethren
said he must confess. He demurred He
knew the members to be good people, but
they had their little faults, such as driving
sharp bargains screwing the laborer down to
low wages, loaning money at illegal rates,
misrepresenting articles they had for sale, etc.
but they were good people, and pressed the
lawyer to come before the church meeting "
to own up his sin of taking glass too much
for they were temperance people before
Temperance societies existed.
The sinner finally went to the confession

glstened with heavenly delight, as the lawyer
began his confession.

took ten per cent. for money" (Six was the
legal rate.) On that confession down went

WILL FARMING Par we see this head
ing in our agricultural and other journals all
over the country. with all kinds of answers,
some of which are preposterons. The truth
Is, farming is like any other business and will
pay just in proportion as it is well and proper
ly followed. A poor, a lazy, an ignorant neg
lectful or an Incorporate farmer will find the
business to "pay" badly enough, and If he
makes both ends meet at the end OF the year
be will be lucky. But if one follows the bus
mess carefully, theoretically and intelligent
ly, there is none that win pay more literally,
or at least more certainly. We look upon farm
ing as the most sure and inviting and indie
pendent pursuit that exists. No man quail
fed for it ever fails or becomes poor If he will
do his duty On the contrary he is annually
becoming richer and his family more comfort
able and happy. Assuredly farming will pay
all who know how to conduct t.-Germdn-

WHAT IS THE BIBLE LIKE Pit is like q

for those that are hungry, and affords shelter
and shade for pilgrims on their way to the
kingdom of heaven.
1t is like cabinet of jewels and precious

admired, but used and worn.
1t is like telescope, which brings distant
objects and far-of things of the world very
near so that we can see something of their
beauty and Importance.
1t is like a treasure-house, a store-house,
for all sorts OF valuable and useful things, and

The best remedy for bleeding at the nose,
as given by DR.. Gleason in one of his lee
lures, is the vigorous motion of the jaws, as
if in the act of mastication. In the case of a
child, wad of paper should be placed in its
mouth, and the child instructed to chew it
bard. 1t is the motion of the jaws that stops
the flow of blood. This remedy is SO very
simple that many will feel inclined to laugh
at it, but it has never been known to fail in
single instance, or even in very severe cases.
