TIE wAR TROUBLES.

A Pera correspondent says that most
formidable and widespread instruction
OF Mussulmans exists, caused by the intoler-
able oppression of the Russo Bulgarian
regime, and particularly by the abduction of
Turkish women by the Bulgarians. Several
sanguinary battles have been fought, in one
of which the Russians are said to have lost
500 men.
A London telegram Of the oath says:
Though the principle of the withdrawal Of
the Russian and English forces from the vi
cinity Of Constantinople has been accepted,
the knotty point as to the distance to which
the forces shall retire continues to be dis
cussed, and the difficulties in the way of
such solution are SO great that many foreign
critics believe an arrangement to be hope
less.
A London dispatch of the 25th says: Ne
gotiations regarding the Congress and the
withdrawal of the British fleet and the Rus
sian troops from near Constantinople have
as yet led to no result, and it is considered
unfortunate that Bismarck and Gortscha-
kotf have fallen i'll at this critical juncture.
The Russians are doing their best to
strengthen their positions, and advices from
various sides concur that there are con-
siderable movements Of troops towards
Constantinople, as well as GallipOli.
1t was reported from San Francisco on the
27th that Russian privateers were being fit
ted out at that port to prey upon English
commerce in the event of war being declared.
a Russian corvette is now lying there, pre-
pared for instant action.
The Grand Duke Nicholas has been pro-
NOTED to the rank of Field Marshal General,
and recalled to Russia on account of i'll
health. General Todeben has been appoint
cd Commander Chief Of the army in
Turkey, with General Imeretinsky as Chief
Of staff.

-Presbyterianism has become strong
enough in New Zealand to have Gen

Gently at Wellington, and agreed to es-
tablish a sustentation fund. The church

Rev. William B. Brown, of New
ark, N. j., who is known as the father
of New Jersey Congregationalism, has
been selected as Secretary of the Ameri-
can Congregational Union, to succeed

Teachers sometimes obtain their
certificates by ways that are dark In
Canada, where certificate is valid for
life, they do not hesitate to pay from $50
and upwads for an advance set of ex-
animation papers, and it was lately
charged that certain officers connected
with the preparation of those papers
sometimes threw out hints to favorite
candidates which were extremely valua-
bic in time of trouble.
Only seven of the present Congre-
gational ministers of New England have

ing paraphrase of DR.. Karl Rosen-
kranz 3 "fedaSOglcS us system un-
der the title of +" The Science of Educa-
ton" The work of Rosenkranz was
published in English five years ago, but
Miss Bracket, who was the author of
that full translation, finds that owing to
its metaphysical form, it is appreciable
by very few of the teachers who most
need it, and she has consequently I'M
dertaken the considerable task of put
ting it into comprehensive form, with
out losing the significance of its teach
ing. al.
