physical OuIture.

The study and practice Of gymnastics
are to be made compulsory in ell the
State schools in Italy. The apostle OF
physical culture in that e~nervaling eli
mate is Sebastian Fenzi, the son Of a
Florence banker. He built a gymna.
stun at his " expense in that city,
and from that beginning the movement
has extended from city to city. He has
preached gymnastics to senators and
deputies, to the syndic and municipal
councillors, and ever to the crown prin.
cess, now queen. He especially incul-
Gates its advantages on all mothers Of
families, as likely to increase to a re-
markable extent the personal charms of
their daughters. And so far as his "
domestic experience goes, his theories
have not been c%ontrsdicted by practice,
for he is the father of the most beautiful
women in Italy. Deputy Salvatore No.
relli, a champion of the rights of the
gentler sex, in presenting o bill for
granting to women the right Of acting rs
witnesses to legal documents, recently
suggested that the equality of the sexes
might be restored in a great measure if
young girls before marriage would only
give play to their muscles, as, in the
event of meeting with a brute of a hus.
band, who might attempt to trounce
them, they might settle the dispute by at
once knocking him down.

Settlement of the Bulgarian
Observation-Disclosures Of
the British Rep.
reseRtatives.
Abandonment by Russia Of a Policy
Which Has Guided Her for
the Last Hundred Years.

LONDON, June 24.-The Car is ex.
pected in Berlin shortly on his way to
Ems.
Prince GOrtschakoff was absent from
the congress on Saturday. He suffers
from a fresh attack of the govt.
The new autormous province south Of
the Balkans is to be named Eastern
Roumelia. All Berlin correspondents
agree in declaring the settlement Of the
Hungarian question is entirely due to
the frmness Of the British representa-
tives in the congress. The Russian con.
cessions on this head again are said to
be entirely dependent On the condition
for organization and administration Of
Roumania. One condition is that the
Russian troops, when they evacuats
Roumelis, are to be replaced by
native militia, composed Of Christians or
Musslemans, according to the prevailing
religion Of the district. The French re-
representatives. in the congress support
Lord Beaconsfeld's demands on the
Bulgarian question.
The Times says it considers the al.
legged settlement as nothing less than an
abandonment by Russia of the policy
which has guided her relations with
Turkey during the last hundred years.
The process OF piecemeal nibbling at the
Turkish outlying provinces and reopen
ing the Eastern question whenever cir
cumstances seemed to favor it, would
have been continued by the extension
Of Bulgaria south Of the Balkans under
Russian influence.
The Post says that Russia is now au.
th~oritatively teld hat she is as far from
Constsntinople, if not indeed further,
than she was when the war began. Here
in lies the bitterness of the modification
to which she must now submit.
Charles Matthews, the actor, is dead.

The force on the Texan border remains,
and the posse comitatus section Is added,
declaring that it shall not be lawful to
employ the army as a posse for the pur-
pose of executing the laws, except
where such employment may be express
" authorized by the constitution or act
Of congress; and the money a~ppropria-
ted shall rot be used to pay the expenses
of troops so employed. This legislation
sustains the position assumed by the
Democrats in the Forty.fourth congress,
when the army bill failed, because the
senate refused to accept the section pro-
hibiting the use Of the army in CONTROL.
ing elections in the Southern States.
The naval appropriations are very large,
reaching in the aggregate something
over nine millions, a large portion Of

The Halifax award, on the Canadian
fishery claims, of $4,000 600, after being

priatiOn bills. The Roach subsidy

This congress has but three months more
of active official life. The next con
gress, we believe, will be Democratic in
both branchss-in the senate certainly
and the house p~robably-and then we
may look for harmonious action between
the two branches, and a debate aud de-
termined Democratic policy in public
affairs, with the legislative power to car
~ it out. It is ~lamentably true that the
Democratic party, since the war, has
scarcely had a leader in congress. The
South especially has been affiliated With
men Of more s. eophaney than brains,
and less principle than policy. The po-
litiesl courtships and hirtstions engaged
10 BY Democrats have created in many
instances distrust Of the most serious
nature. 1t is time for the Democrats to
to congress men Of positive prin.
who have more regard for the
good Of their country than for their fu-
ture popularity. Such men are needed
in congress.

An Indian Jester.

Now that Englishmen have become
accustomed to the idea that in future her
majesty loyal subjects, the Sepoys, are
to do most Of the fighting for g nation
that never will be slaves the Tory
newspapers are writing up" the Indian
mercenaries with a view to picturesque
effects. A Standard correspondent at
Suez describes the regimental Jester of
the Thirty.first Bengal as aa old fellow
who has been a famous wrestler in his
prime, but has developed humorous
qualities that bring him still greater re-
nown. The testers performance was q
curious one. He assumed a stolil air
and emitted noises like the barking of a
Pariah dog. The barking was now
angry, now p~laintive, and bye-and bye
heightened into a dismal howl. The
dog had been kicked or disturbed from
his bone. Then the gamnt changed to
the hollow bay of a large hound, the
weird call Of the jackal, the hoarse gurg-
ling of the camel, the shrill scream Of
the peacock, the chorus of frogs in a
marsh, and so on through the voices of
the farm yard and the forest. He next
gave limitations Of a dancing bear, o
comrade leading him with an uuwound
turban; of the music master of his "
regiment, and Of a drunken European
soldier in the bazaar. The athlete of
the regiment was next called, and gave
a fair sample Of his skill with the Indian
clubs. Then the pipers pulled away like
Tritons on q reed Of clarinet shape with
a slender brass m%outhpiece, aud the
music they produced had a marvellous
resemblance to that of the Highland
bagpipes. AS a finale they played "Auld
Lang Syne with variations.
