THERE is an impression In what may be
called the politico-social circles of London
that the recent visit of the Crown Princess of
Germany to Queen Victoria, her mother, was
for the particular purpose of intimating to her
Majesty, in non-official but distinct manner
that unless England lower her tone and mod.
lfy her bearing, as regards Russia and the
treaty of San Stefano, it was possible that the
Emperor of Germany would relinquish his
neutrality, the Gear being his nephew. The
Crown Prince, who followed his wife to Eng
land a little later, was called away by Nobil-
ing's attempt to murder the Emperor; but it
was thought in London that the Queen must
have been influenced, as was intended, for i.
is affirmed she expressed desire that the
Gear should no longer be spoken of in un-
friendly or disrespectful language at court
An early and easy settlement of the Eastern
question by the conference at Berlin is con-
fdently anticipated now.

The clergyman at a church near one Of our
popular summer resorts, who used to have
strangers within his gates" at nearly every
service during the season, was quite pleased to
notice the regular attendance, every Sunday
for several weeks, of q native of the place who
had not enjoyed the best reputation, and was
pluming himself upon having saved ''another
brand" &c., when the man suddenly ceased
his attendance. Meeting him few weeks
after, the minister hailed him with "Ah,
Thomas, haven't seen you at church for
fortnight" NO." said thomas, "the people
l drove for have gone home" 'The people
you drove for?" "Yes, sir. You see was
hired to drive 'em over here from the hotel
1.-TWO miles away every Sunday, and now they
are gone, I've lost my job "AhP' said the
parson, sarcasticsly. "then you are one of the
men that do not go to church unless you are
paid for il. are you?" "Certaialy, sir, aud you
are another, amt you? You don't 90 unless
Won are paid for it, do ye, sir?" The minister
had to confess that in that respect he and
Thomas were in the same beat.-Boston Cons-

The latest phase of the Eastern question is
the establishment of an English protectorate
over Turkey in Asia, as a counterpoise to the
autonomic Christian principalities in Bulga-
ria, Roumelia aud Western Turkey, which
would be under Russian influence. In some
form or other, England is evidently deter
mined to exert controlling authority over
the future destinies of Turkey. The empire
is in such wretched condition that unless
some power intervenes that is capable of
maintaining order, it will be overrun by brig
ands and assassins. In Armenia the Kurds
are plundering and massacreng to such an
extent that the Patriarch has sent deputa-
tion Of notables to London and st. Peters
burg to implore the protection of the British
and Russian governments. The Porte con-
fesses its impotency, and that it cannot do Its
duty to its subjects.

wAsHINeT0S, July 20.-This city was the scene Of
the occurrence of little speck of this after
noon the results of which bade fair at time TO be
serious and which. considering the state of affairs
in regard to the labor question in this country, will
receive more attention through the press than it
would otherwise deserve. Six white and three col
ored laborers were placed at work this afternoon
upon the ground recently purchased by the Govern
ment for the new building of the Engraving
and Printing Bureau. About o'clock a crowd.
numbering 200 white aud cOlOred men, armed
with shovels picks and clubs, made their appear
anee on the grounds and demanded that the labor
ers should cease work. The pretext assigned was
that the men were working too cheaply They
were supposed to be getting only rs cents per day.
while the rioters demanded that no laborers should
work for less than 81 80 per day. The wOrkmen
at first paid no attention to the demands of the
rioters to stop work, whereupon they were assailed
with stones and were fOrcibly driven away, one of
them being seriously cut and bruised. The crowd
increased with surprising rapidity, and as the
rumor spread over the city, colored and
white idlers gathered from all directions.
Having gained possession of the ground
the rioters posted upon the fences notice that If
any man worked for lees than 81 80 per day he
would be killed They then arranged themselves
along the sidewalks and groaned and hissed the
two or three policemen who had at this time come
upon the ground. The contractors had given notice
TO the police authorities as soon as the trou bes
began, and about O'Clock lieutenant of police.
at the head of the entire reserve force made his
anpesrance and commanded the crowd TO disperse,
at the same time getting his men a position to
charge upon the rioters. This was the end OF the
matter. for to-day at least as the crowd very
soon disappeared in different directions, but
with many ominOus mutterings and threats. II is
not likely that any further trouble III that locality
will occur since the authorities are now fully aware
of the danger and will take measures to protect the
workmen who are to begin labor again IN the morn
