STRENGTH OF THE SILVER BILL.

One of the strangest things about the
old masters is the rhythmic regularity
with which their long-hidden works turn
up in unknown places. The discovery
of Rubens in Cincinnati was capped by
Carracci in New Orleans; now st. Louis
has Tintoretto,. and a gentleman re-
Gently returned from Chicago informs
us that he saw in a popular bar-room in

DON CARLOS BOUNCED.
A Paris telegram of the 29th, states
that Don Carlos was ordered to quit
France, partly in consequence of ex-
Queen Isabella's overtures to him.
Those overtures are regarded as an ex-
preston of her displeasure at the mar
riage of King Alfonso.

on THE -ANNIOUs SEAT.

The times have been wcfully out of
joint for many months. The whole
course of events runs counter to the
notion that the war is only local war,
in which other nations than those i'm
mediately concerned have no interest.
Surely it cannot be denied that there is
scarcely Il nation in Europe, great OF
small, that is not concerned in these
dark and anxious troubles, or which at
any moment may not find itself deeply
interested. That England is in this
condition is Il matter of absolute GER
tainty, yet every day sermons are adj
dressed to the government forbidding
them to see, or say they see, any dan
ger threatening.

THE BERLIN GAZETTE.

If England merely seeks to sound
Russia respecting her willingness
to make peace, credit may be awarded
Great Britain for her meritorious inten-
ton. In any other case the theory of
the Aqence Russe that mediation, unless
solicited by both belligerents, becomes
intervention, may assert itself re-
garding intervention. Russia, in the full

ENGLAND AND RUSSIA.

A Vienna dispatch dated December
28th says 1t is stated from several sides
that England, although declining to
mediate, has confidentially sounded
Russia as to the terms ON which she
would be inclined to make peace and
that the Russian cabinet has been far
less reserved than might have been an

THERE are certain practical tests OF
Christian character which are more
valuable than those of creeds. House
keeping presents the strongest possible
tests of religious progress. If you can
eat cold buckwhea cakes without
threatening to tear the house down, or
drink muddy coffee without suggesting
that if it ever comes on the table again
you will probably organize funeral
procession for the benefit of the help"
you may be pretty certain that you
have made your calling and election
sure. No, it is not the creed of the
church, it IS an underdone steak when
you are in hurry, which settles the
question whether you are pagan or
Christian.

THE CARS DETERMINATION.

It is reported that the car, in reply
ing to an address presented by a con
gratuIatory deputation headed by
Prince Gortschakof, said, England
will apparently exercise pressure upon
the liberty of our action, but
WE WILL NOT CONSENT TO MEDIATION, AND
ARE ARMED AGAINST INTERVENTION"
This in effect is what the Russian press
is saying in chorus. Mediation is call
ed intervention: intervention is resent
ed. 1t is stated on good authority that
the Russian government has ordered
l, 900 field guns of Krupp. Nor is the
news from Berlin such as to indicate
that in that city a speedy return OF
peace is expected, but rather the con

RUSSIAN REINFoRCEaIENTs.

A Bucharest correspondent under
date of Dec. 29th, says that reinforce

being formed Russia has bought 2OO,-
900 rifles In Berlin.

OSNIAN'S TROEBLES.

A Bucharest telegram Of December
28th says that it is currently rumored
and generally believed there that Os-
man Pasha viii be tried by military
court of the highest jurisdiction for the
slaughter of the wounded after the
great battle of July 81, the fight before
the Grivitza redoubt on September II,
and several other minor engagements.
The discoveries made by the Russians
since occupying the Notifications of
Plevna, information gained from Turk
ish officers, and above all the absence
of Russian prisoners, although
several hundred had been cap
tured during all the engagements,
leavs no reasonable doubt that the
Turks under Osman Pasha have been
guilty of deeds which will render his
now ilIustrious name forever Infamous
1t will be remembered that in August,
1860. a special military commission sat
in Washington to try Win, charged
with destroying the lives of soldiers
confined in the Andersonviile military
prison. The crimes of which Wirz was
convicted, and for which he was after
ward hanged were less offensive to the
code Of modern warfare than those i'm
puted to Osman Pasha Every day
brings to light some new horror at

LINCOLN TERRITORY.

The subcommittee of the house
committee on territories to-day heard
an argument from Delegate Corbett, of
Wyoming, in opposition to the bill for
the establishment of the Territory of
Lincoln. Mr.. Corbett based his oppo-
sition mainly upon the argument that
the population of the Black Hills

it provides for including portion Of

4 London associated press telegram
Of Dec. 29th, states that the Post in It's
leading article, says the duty which
England has undertaken is not en-
barrassed by any bases for the hesettlement
of the war, and involves nothing more
than to test the willingness Of Russia to
enter into negotiations, the terms of
peace being matter for subsequent
consideration.

in official form: We understand the
sultan has solicited the British govern
ment to approach the car, with view
to bring about negotiations for peace,
and the British government has consent
ed TO do SO.

GUNS ORDERED

Russia has ordered twelve hundred
Krupp field guns.
A London correspondent telegraph
ing under date of Dec. 29th, states that
in English military circles war is con-
sidered almost inevitable. Arrange
ments are completed and regiments al
lotted for an army of 10000 men, and
steps are already taken towards for
nation of nucleus for a reserve army.
Profound uneasiness prevails here, and
there is great depression in trade and
finance.
