Tho News from Europe.


THE London Times commenting on
the appearance in the United States
waters of the steamship Cimbria with
Russian officers and men on board says
There are good reasons why we should
regard proceedings Of THIS kind withou |
alarm. The chief one Is that The Unit.
ed States government which has always
prided itself on fulfilling its neutral
| duties, has been placed under special
obligations in this respect by the Wash
ington treaty. BY virtue Of it's rules we
we're condemned to pay fine of G5,-
| OOO.OOo for dspredations committed by
the Alabama and her consorts, and the
United States by accepting that fine.
have further pledged themselves to OBJ
serve on their part the new rules of the
treaty. 1t was an unwelcome penalty
to us at the time, but We have tho ad.
vantage Of additional protection now.
We may in fact be confident that the
United States will act honorably up to
its obligations in this respect, aud the
Russians consequently will find it diff
cult to execute the enterprises they ap-
pear to have planned.
Peace or war seems still TO be tremb-
ling in the balance, with littlo progress
except in preparations for war. Mean
time the practical consequences, of a
possible struggle begin to impress them
selves upon the public mind. Mercan-
tile interests are suffering q severe chill
under authentic news OF Russia's prep
arations to simply stand on the defen.
sive ashore while striking her antagonist
III her commerce on every sea. Russia,
they see, is comparatively inaccessible,
while no amount of brave effort can
save British commerce from destruc-
ton, excep: that England takes little
counsel Of prudent fears. When she
reaches tho present condition Of pas
sionate stubbornness this newly recog.
nized danger might be expected to cause
halt.
1t still remains to be seen whether
the Car can offer England any accepta.
BILE guarantee that she will not threaten
British roads to India. Meantime nc
European Congress will be allowed e
put her in bonds.
Bismarck really seems TO have retired
from his mediatiug Efforts. but his

A Grent moral sho,v.

In allusion to the violent efforts East,

ave thought it was coming. We
noticed that Mrs. Tilton's lecture adver-
tising was falling Just little fiat, and
we expected to SEQ some other phase Of
the thing to be adroitly worked in. It
is here. A dispatch says that Mr..
Beecher's agent (that's Major Pond |
says that Beecher's counsel will soon
commence proceedings against Tilton
aud Moulton on n charge Of conspiracy,
etc, etc. Now we Don't believe that
Mr.. Beecher has any idea OF such thing
or nny such a SUIT will be- lbcgun, but
Major Pond, seeing that his advertising
agent That's Mrs. Tilton1 has lost her
grip, is determined that certain amount
of electricity and certain number Of
miles Of wire shall each day be devoted
to the great moral show. We hope
that the show bizness,' as Artemus

to make tEis lead pay for some time to

caused by gas generated in the patent

Accidents.

A railroad employee named Ole Gilbran-
son, one of the men on the Moose Island
section, was thrown from hand car, last
Monday morning, and badly injured. 1t
appears that an extra train stopped at the
tank for water, and the crew, wishing to
go to the lower end of their section, held
on to the rear end of the train and were
being pulled along at lively rate. Gill
branson was one of the men who had hold
of the rear car, and just as he let go-they
having gone far enough-the handle on the
lever of the hand car struck him and
knocked him off, the hand car passing over
him. His left leg and the left side of his
head were terribly bruised, and it was
thought that he was injured internally.
The accident was witnessed by the train
men, who promptly stopped the train and
took him on board and brought him here
for medical treatment. We are glad 10
say that the injured man is improving, al
though the wounds on his head are very
serious
Last Thursday, one of Mrs. T. Co,ehan's

An interesting incident occurred at the
elevator, the other day, which shows that
some farmers practice fraud as we'll as the
wheat buyers and inspectors. A farmer
came TO the elevator few days since, with
a well cleaned load of wheat, badly bleach
ed, which tested 54i pounds; when told
that it would grade No. 8, the inspector
had to listen to some of the latest kind of
swearing, for the next hour. He finally
cooled down and sold his wheat for No 3.
In two or three days, he came again; this
time with wheat not we'll cleaned, which
the inspector, without the little joker called
No. 4. On applying the little wicked brass
kettle, he found this wheat to weigh Just
574 pounds. A further inspection revealed
three pounds of fine white sand to eaci
bushel, nicely distributed in each sack
He was allowed to fill the hopper and ther
compelled TO refill his sacks and take Iii.
load home to sift out his sand, or to some
elevator where they clean wheat and raise
the grades. X.
