PEACE RETARDED.
RUSSIA TRYING COERCION.

GENERAL GHOURKO MARCHING TOWARD SAN STE
FANo-THE SULTAN UNWILLING TO GIVE UP ANY
IROyCLADs.
Peace is still in doubt. Russia is using CO.
ercive measures with the Porte. The Grand
Duke Nicholas has called on it to sign
the treaty at once, and ordered General
Ghourko to advance with 10000 men to-
ward San StefanO. The reluctance of the
Porte to surrender any irOnclads is the
main obstacle to the conclusion Of peace.
Austria and England are showing more
peaceful disposition. In the latter country.
however, war preparations continue. Greek
soldiers have deserted, to aid the insurgents In
Eprus.
THE EXPECTED RUSSO-TURKISH PEACE.
LATE PHASES OF THE CRIsIs-RUssIA READY TO
FIGHT.
LONDON. Tuesday, Feb. 26. 1873.
Reuters dispatch from COnstantinOpe confirms
the report that the surrender of the Turkish fleet as
portion of the indemnity still forms the object OF
negotiations.
1t is said that a Russian ultmatum has been re-
ceived. insisting that the conditions of peace be
signed. The report lacks official confirmation
LONDON, Wednesday, Feb. y, 1873
The Standards Paris correspondent says he has
resolved to fight rather than abate her pretenslons
A special telegram to The Times, dated st. Peters
burg, Tuesday, says: Although the treaty OF
peace is on the eve of signature the
Government, up to noon to-day, had re-
ceived no official notification that it was signed.
The sultan is to retain his feet. The question OF
the Straits is 70 he submitted to the Conference,
when if England as is probable, proposes the pres
eryaton of the status quo, Russia, am assured,
will not seriously oppose her.
Ii would seem, therefore, rs if all the avowed
British interests are respected, and the danger
of conflict between Russia and England is ended
Such, however, is not the opinion here.
The negotiations have left much soreness. 1t Is
thought that Englands real aim is the Illumination
of Russia. These feelings may possibly lead to
the most serious consequences

illness.

seem enormous crops might be OBJ
tanned. We are informed in history,
| that the ancient Egyptians Of the Nile
made practical success of these float
ing apiaries, and that they were warned
when 1t was time to return home by the
depth to which the boat sank in the
water under the weight of the cargo of
honey. That the bees might not be
lost, the apiary was foated to a new field
during the night. Something similar,
located on wheels to be drawn by horses,
has been suggested, but We believe never
attempted.
KEEPING Stock CLEAN.-It ought to
be the duty of the stock men to see
that all cattle that are kept constantly
tied up should receive a thorough brush
ing daily. Stock that are accustomed
to have their heads tied get very dirty
about the neck and shoulders unless
they receive a careful grooming"
Cleanliness is very essential to cattle
always under cover, not only because
disease Is thereby prevented, but also
because stock thrive better, and reach
maturity a great deal quicker, when
carefully tended, than when they are
not. Cattle kept in hammels or loose
boxes do not, perhaps, require as much
attention rs those whose heads are
tied to the stall, rs they can with free
dom lick themselves, but they should
not be neglected on that account and
the careful stock farmer will do well to
see that his stock man gives them prop
er attentiOn.-LOnd0n Liue Stock Journal.
Too MANY KINDS OF. PLANTs.-One of
the most serious mistakes which almost
every one makes in cultIvating house
plants, is in trying to keep too great
variety. Professional florists, as we'll
as amateurs, fall into the same error.
and the results are, failures with q
greater or less number of species. If
the house is kept warm enough to make
Il certain species of plant thrive, others
are likely to fail because the temporal
ture is too high for them, and mildew
and rust follow An atmosphere in
which geraniums and heliotropes thrive
IS too warm for camelias, heaths, and
aZaleas. The beautiful orchids are GER
tainly very tempting plants, but one
needs house especially arranged for
their culture, and the same is true with
many other orders, families and genera;
and it is far better to confine ourselves
to few species. and of these select the
best varieties growing there to perfec-
ton than to undertake more than we
can accomplish. [ certainly do not
claim to have escaped falling into this
far too common error of trying to cuiti-
vate a great variety selected for wide
range of families but each year | re-
solve to lessen the number and come
nearer perfection with the remainder.
Ladies often complain of certain plants
failing under the best care they can
give, while others succeed perfectly,
which only shows that different plants
require widely different treatment

An Oilice-Seeker's Experience.

The Washington Post tells of a young
Westerner who went to the capital in
October to get a clerkship. and soor
found that he had undertaken work
that would require time for its compile
ton. An examination of his finances
satisfied him that he had no money to
waste. He left his elegant room at a
first-class hotel and took a cheap, fur
nished apartment in an unarist0cratic
neighborhoOd, for which he paid only
Sc month. He cut down his bill OF
fare to bread, milk and fruit, and salts
fled his appetite at cost of twenty
cents a day. Meantime, with good
clothes and cheerful looks, he pushed
for an appointment, and, after many
disappointments, achieved success in
two and a half months from the time
of his arrival. Had he followed the
usual custom of expensive living, his
money would have given out in two or
three weeks; then he would have sub
sisted for time on his wardrobe, and,
becoming too shabby for appearance in
good society, would have been driven to
appeal for charity to help him back,
crushed and woe-begone, to his old
home.

Describes Wooden Daughter.

When Descartes, the famous French
philosopher, resided in Holland he made
with great labor and industry a female
automaton which gave some wicked
wits occasion to report that he had an
Legitimate daughter named Franchine.
The object of Descartes was to demon
strate that bodies have no souls, but are
machines nicely composed, and that
move whenever another body strikes
them and communicates to them a por-
ton of its motions. Having carried
this singular machine on board of a
Dutch vessel, the captain, who some
times heard it move, had the curiosity
to open the box. Astounded to see a
little human form uncommonly ANNA
ted, yet when touched appearing to be
nothing but wood, and being little versed
in science, but very superstitious, he
took the ingenious labor of the philoso-
pher for a little devil, and terminated
the experiment of Descartes by throw
ing his wooden daughter into the
sea.

Who Hit Him !
Milwaukee Sentinel.

Saturday night, as the special train
from Waukesha was humming over the
rails, the passengers were conscious of
a grating noise on the side of the car
while hauling up at Elm Grove The
engineer whistled "down brakes" and
every one rushed to the platform to as
certain the cause Of the sudden stop
page. A sorry sight it was that met
their gaze. The wreck Of a wagon laid
near the track, and under the debris
was visible the figure of a man. Ready
hands carried the limp form into the
depot, and vigorous efforts were made to
revive him. Pity stood out on every
phiz like cloud in summer sky
After a series of rubbings, and just as
the light of hope was Pickering low, the
object of their sorrow opened pair Of
small orbs, and looking about him, ex-
claimed in broken English "Be the
powers, who was it that sthruck me?'
The gravity of the crowd was percepti-
bly, turned to hilarious laughter. A
further investigation revealed the fact
that the man was not seriously hurt,
and was only stunned.

PIERCED BE AN AUGER.
Terrible Suffering of a Miner on the
CGmst0ck.

C0mstock.
The Virginia City Chronicle has the fol
lowing account of the terrible accident
which resulted in the death Of Carpenter
IN the Savage mine carpenter shop on
Monday afternoon: About , O'Clock
last evening one Of the most extraor-
binary and horrible accidents that ever
happened on the Comstock took place
In the Savage carpenter shop. Here
there IS IN use a steam anger, which
points toward the workman and makes
LOCO revolutions per minute. 1t is a
self-feeder, and anything that is laid up
against the point IS caught and thrown
over its coils with lightning-like IA
pidity.
William Carpenter, the unfortunate
victim, at the time mentioned was Dor
ing hole through stick of hard wood,
about three inches thick and eight feet
long, and was leaning his might against,
under the impression that there was a
gauge attached to the machinery to pre-
vent the block going further along the
auger than the distance required. Sud
denly a workman near Carpenter OBJ
served an Undesirable look on his face
as his body shot forward and doubled
over the terrible machine 1t had
passed. like a fencer's sword, through
his stomach and was protruding at the
back. He was literally impaled upon
the auger, which was churning his in
testlnes at the rate of from 900 to 800
revolutions per minute.
In the midst of this horrible agony,
Carpenter seems to have maintained his
presence of mind, for he cast himself
backward and got off the auger, falling
to the floor as he did So The most
terrible excitement prevailed among
his comrades IN the shop, and there was
a rush to the PROSTATE man. The sight
must have almost paralyzed them.
Carpenter was lying on his back, with
his clothes torn and twisted above the
region of the abdomen. Just above
him the deadly anger was still wh1zzing
and chnglng to it was a mass of mites
tines, the loose end of which spread out
with the revolutions and gave the auger
the appearance Of buzZ-saW. The
man was removed to the bathroom and
laid out upon the floor. He was still
cool, and not a cry escaped him. His
brother (the ex-City Jailer) was sent for,
and on his arrival, in a few words he
communicated his wishes in regard to
his business affairs and the disposal of
his effects, remarking, My brother is
an honest man, and will do the right
thing" Presently it became evident
that he was suffering intense pain, and
the physicians in attendance decided
that he had better die under the infu-
ence of chlOroform. Before the drug
was administered he was told that he
would never come from under its in
fluenee alive. He merely nodded, babe
those about him good-by, and in a few
minutes was unconscious.
He lay in this state as calmly as
sleeping child until a little after four
o'clock this morning, when the inhu-
ence Of the chloroform passed off, and
he opened his eyes. He did not seem
to suffer much pain, and occasionally
talked to his attendants. He died at
five o'clock, and, as those who saw him
said, died like a man." His last
words were, ~ am passing into the
unknown"
