Those who have not travelled in Euro
pean countries, can hardly realize the
strongly marked and peculiar distinctions,
which exist between localities that are
very near together. $50 near, and yet 30
far" apart are these different localities, that
the stranger is surprised, if not bewildered.
Thus in that geographically small country,
Great Britain, which has but q little larger
area than the State of New York, there ex-
ist not only many different languages, dia-
lects, customs, and habits, but very large
variety of domestic animals. Several diff
ferent races of horses, no less than nine
distinct breeds of cattle, more than that
mum Der Of breeds Of Sheep and an aston
ishiug variety of black, white, spotted,
large, and small swine. A state of things
like this could not occur in America, and
it is owing to the peculiar character Of the
British people, slow to change, strongly
think proper, and adverse to travel and
removal, that this curious condition of
things exists. Here We are apt to change,
fond of new things, and in fact anxious to
discover something new and always ready
to overthrow all our plans, and to try ex-
periments in some new direction. Thus,
with us, in few years q breed of animals,
which may become popular, spreads here
and there over the whole country, and be-
comes generally distributed. Oar people
move frequently from east to west, aud
carry with them some old ideas, but rapid
ly appropriate those which they find cur
rent in their new homes, while in England
| there are herds and hocks, which have been
kept continuously for century.

ENGLISH AND AMERICAN srEAKERs.-1n an

ENGLISH AND AMERICAN SPEAKERs.-In an
article on Summer, the Edinburgh Rerieso says:
In spite of Summers veneration for the Eng

the bar, he ventures on the opinion that he
has heard style of argument before our
Supreme Court at Weshin 9tcn superior to any
thing he had heard here" We are unable to
make the comparison. But there has long
been at the English bar an aversion to orstori-
cal display, except on very rare occasions
which seem to admit of it and, on the whole,
the business of our courts is conducted in q
very plain, matter fact way, which may
have seemed tame to an American ear, espe-
risffy to Sumner who had in him the instinct
and powers of an orator. Indeed, we fear that
ster Hall he would not find that an interval of
forty years had raised OF improved the intel

strength, the concentration, the learning, the
masterful authority Of those earlier days. At
the bar he would seek in vain for eioquenoe,
or even advocacy, of the highest order, and he
would learn with extreme surprise that one
OF the most eminent members of the English
bar in 1e7s-a man without superior, and
almost without q rival-was the ci-devant
Secretary of State of the Southera Confeder-
acy. More serious still 10 the fact that the
status of an English Judge has notably de-
olined. The great augmentation In the num-
ber Of judges, the divisions of the courts into
upper and lower ranks, the abolition of peculiar

The number of bona fdc settlers in Florida the

ing formed all over the eastern and southern
portions of the State; places that were high
woods two years ago, only inhabited by the
cattle of the stookmeu and wild animals, are
now the abode of thousands of energetic
northern and western men. This has been
brought about mainly by the enterprise of the
real estate agents and speoulators who have
advertised the State largely and flooded the
North with circulsrs and pamphlete. One OF
those on his own account has distributed NO
papers for the purpose of bringing bis own
place into notice. Lectures have also done much
towards it. Col. J. B. Oliver, of the Florida

Never was there greater preparations for war
than those which are being made here, quietly
and secretly, but with unfsltering hand and
with wise supervision which, should hostili-
ties be declared, would place England in q
very different position from that which she CO.

ofthe name. Day and night the chief authorities
are engaged in the task of completing orgsni-
cations, filling up regiments, getting vessels

Gently must bs nearly all gone, and the ordi-
greatly increased that defeit in the budget
can scarcely be avoided. But there will be NO
difficulty about getting the money that may be
needed, for the people are now fairly aroused,
and although there is no great excitement any
where. yet everywhere there is strong and
deep feeling that Russia will have to be met
and met very soon. But for the confidence
would find expression in much more decided
form that it does in Exeter Hall meetings oE
Hyde Park fights. People, however, believe
that the Ministry will interpoee in time to pre-
vent irremediable mischief. The main features
of the complication change from day to day,
bnt the result which is before Us cannot we'll
be altered unless Russia moderaGes her preten-
tions. What chance If there of her doing this :
Apparently very small one. She has reached
her goal, and now to be turned back from it,
after it has taken her over hundred years of
warfare and plotting and coptrlvinR TO arrive
there, ia very disagreeable proceeding to con.

tim must be fought over, why not fight to dayi
Turkey herself will defend the spoiler. England
and Austria conld give great trouble, but it is
not so certain that they would succeed in cir
ultimate end. This is the view taken in Russia
and there is much to support it. As q well in
formed correspondent at st. Petersburg writes,
''threatened with the complete extinction of
his power in Europe, the Sultan will recognize
that Russia is his best friend and surest ally
and that the conditions Of the peace just sign

THE COUNTRY OF ROSES.

In the Bulgarian language, Sohipka
means wild rose. The village, which is at
'ehe bottom of the Balkan Pass, crossed by
the Russians. and which bears the same
name, consists of about 800 houses, the in
habitants of which are occupied in the cul-
tivation and sale of roses. The principal
town of the Valley of Roses, at present
ravaged by war, is Kazanlik, which the
troops of General Gourka lately seized on.
Count Won Moltke, in his letters on the
East, has the following remarks on that
region
1.-THE little town of Kazsnlik is hidden
in small forest of gigantic walnut-trees.
Even the minarets do not succeed in rising
above the mountains of foliage and branch
es under which they are buried. The
abundance of water in that district sur
passes all conception just as in Lombardy,
all the fields and gardens are irrigated by
bitches and rivulets. Kazanlik is the
Kashmire of Europe, the Gulistan of Tur-
key, the country of roses. That flower is
not cultivated, as with us, in pots and
gardens but in fields and in fdrrows, like
potatoes. Nothing can be more charming
than such plantation of roses. Millions
upon millions of red leaves are spread
over the bright green of the rose field, aud
yet at this moment not one quarter Of the
buds are opened. At Kazsnlik is made the
