A Bad State of Affairs In Rome,

A correspondent at Rome says Since
the day Of Count Cavour's death in Turin, l
have never seen the population of any city
80 utterly stunned by sudden blow as the
Romans appeared when the official an
nouncement of the Kings death removed
every doubt as to the fearful loss the nation
had sustained. Certainly the transition
from father to son could not have occurred
at II more trying moment. The ministers
of the late sovereign have been maintained
in their office by his young successor, but
what ministers! The cabinet was mere
rehash of the administration fallen only a
few days ago under an irresistible outburst
of public Indignation; forsaken by nearly all
sections of an immense parliamentary ma
jority, brought together by fair means or
foul at the recent election, and hampered
by variety of rash engagements, which it
had shown itself neither able nor willing to
fulfill We must have a new session of par

Dor views and principles in opposition to
those attributed to them. If ever there was
need of providence TO shape ends rough
hewn by men, it certainly is felt in the po-
sition in which Italy has been put by the
death of Victor Emanuel, coming so unex-
pectedly at the beginning Of the most un-
satisfactory ministerial crisis and almost
hopeless division Of parties in an unfairly
elected and still more unscrupulously cor
rupted parliament. Personally. Humbert

spices. He has outlived the i'll name won
by some follies Of his youth. He has been
lately well behaved, methodical, of wise

The Kansas VS.. Union Pacific,
The bill prepared in Congress to
cohPoi ulo onlon IaclHc rdllroau 10 pro-
rate its tariffs with its branch lines, so that
they may have an equal chance in carrying
the traffic, would seem to cover the ground.
Among other provisions the bill requires
the Union Pacific railroad company in the
operation and use of its road, so far as the
public government and Kansas Pacific rail-
road are concerned, to charge q rate of
freight or fare which shall be fixed in all
cases at a mileage rate, equal to the pro-
rate per mile of the lowest through rate
charged or received directly or indirectly,
by the Union Pacific company, over Its en-
tire line on the same class Of freight. The
requirements of this act and the acts of
which this act is amendatory, shall apply to

THE EASTERN WAR.


A correspondent at Pera states that
the Turkish delegates, met Grand Duke
Nicholas at Turnova and Semelli, and pre-
limnary notes were exchanged. The Grand
Duke then announced that he had decided
to treat only at Adrianople, which should
be Immediately evacuated. Delegates hav-
ing assembled orders were telegraphed to
Djormil Pasha to evacuate AdrianOple. Up
on this decision being communicated to for
cign Consuls they telegraphed to their AM
bassadors for instructions, and were order
ed to remain and protect their countrymen.
Djermil Pasha then prepared to retire upon
fortified lines before Adrianople, where re-
Inducements are now concentrating. The
Russians will probably arrive at Adrian
Ople in two days. TurnOva Semelli being
50 kilometers distant, therefore negotiations
will then begin. 1t is thought here that the
wisest policy is for Turkey to make peace
at once.
Fugitlves.

calculated that 10000 fugitives arrived in
| Constantinople from Roumania during one
week. train crowded with fugitives ran

Gov. Bedle, of New Jersey, in his
last message, recommends stricter laws
with regard to savings banks The Sc

given to the mass OF the people is the

well-laid foundation of future prosperi-
ty from the very class who have worked
for it the hardest and deserve it the

\ female book peddler came to the office
the other day. She wished TO dispose of
a book. She was alone in the world and
had no one to whom she could turn for
sympathy or assistance: hence we should
buy her book. She was unmarried and
had no manly heart into which she could
pour her sutfcrngs; therefore, we ought
to invest i'll book. She had received a
liberal education, and we could not. in
consequence, pay her less than two dol
lars for book. We had listened attcn-
lively, and here broke in with. "What

During the last thirty years, twenty
eight attempts have been made against
the heads of republics, seven Of which
were successful. More attempts against
the life of the late Emperor Of France
were made than against any other one
person, and Queen Victoria, the Emperor
of Austria, and the late Victor Emman-
uel were among those attacked.
In Hungary, a man convicted Of big
amy was compelled to live with both
wives in the same house. Hence bigamy
was rare i'll that country.
