The PhOnOgraph in Burlington.

1t happened that Mrs. Barstinglow
was going down to Keokuk, for a few
days, and MIR. Barstinglow was incon-
solable. At one time he protested that
she should not go; he could not endure
the lonesome house during her absence.
And then again, he declared that if she
must go he would neglect his Office
and let his business go to the bow
vows, and he would go with her. At
length, however, she persuaded him to
be reasonable, and on her repeated as
surance that she would not remain
away longer than three days he con-
sented to let her go. He even bought
her ticket, and ordered the carriage
and paid for it two days ahead, lest
his resolution should give way and he
should forbid her going from him. And
from that time till the morning of her
departure Mr.. Barstinglow spoke in
subdued tones, and moved about with
the air of man whose heart was buried
under mountains of grief.
Before she left the house, Mrs. Bars
tinglow set the phOnograph in the sit
ting-room, behind the clock. Then she
kissed her disconsOlate husband, and
begged him to preserve his precious
/ life for her sake while she was away
and then she was gone.

A Mussulman Insurrection.

LONDON, April q.
A ACOnstantinople correspondents shows
that the Mussulman insurrection is ex-
ceedingly formidable. 1t engages 5000
Russian troops and extends over an area
of 10000 square miles from between
Tatar Bazaradjik and Philippopolis to
Gumuldschina and Tchermen. The in
surrection was caused by the intolera-
blu oppression of the oRuosu-Dulgdrlan
regime, and brought to a head by the
abduction of Turkish women by Bull
garians. Cannon and musketry firing
are heard daily near Tchermen.
A sanguinary and indecisive engage
ment was fought near Dematica, on the
18th inst. in which the Russians lost
500 men, including officers, killed. The
commander of Dematica has asked for
reinforcements and 1000 infantry and
two satnias of Cossacks have been sent
from Adrianople. The demand for re-
Inducements greatly reduces the garri-
sons at Adrianople and Philippopolis.
The Grand Duke Nicholas has pro-
posed to send mixed commission of
Russian and Turkish officers to the
scene of the conflict, with the object
of pacificatiOn, and the proposal has
been accepted. The Porte is not ac-
quainted with the exact nature of this
inSurrectiOn.

A Letter from Jeff. Davis.

At the laying of the cornerstone of
the Confederate monument at Macon,
Ga, on the 26th, a letter from Jeffer-
son Davis was read, in which he said:
Let not any of the survivors impugn their
faith by offering the penitential plea that they
believed they were right. Let pos
terity learn by this monument that you com
memOrate men who died in defensive war I;
that they did not-as has been idly stated
submit To the arbitrament OF arms the ques-
tions at issue-questions involving inalienable
rights inherited and held in trust for pOsterity,
but stroye for the State sovereignty which
their fathers left them, and which it was their
duty, If possible, to transmit to their children.
Let this monument teach that heroism derives
its luster from the Justice of the cause in
which il is displayed, and let il mark the diff
ference between "A war waged for the rObber-
like purpose of conquest and one to repeal
invasion to defend a peoples hearths and
altars, and to maintain their laws and liber-
ties.
Such was the war in which our heroes fell,

A Destructive Fire.

burst into flames. There were at that
hour in the building the chief press
man, two mailing clerks, the night en-
gineer and five pressmen, all of whom
escaped after the fire broke out, two of
them being slightly injured.
The Free Press occupied two of the
four-story brick buildings on the corner
of Woodbridge and Griswold streets.
The burning gas, ascending through
the stairways, ignited at once every
floor of the two buildings. An effort
was made by the pressmen to put on
the safetyhose and throw a stream of
water on the fire below, but the at
tempt was abandoned as futile. The
presses were stopped and the forms of
the paper were saved.
The iiremen were promptly on hahd,
but despite their efforts tie two build
ings were thoroughly Quilted by the fire.
The presses, of which there were twelve,
and the machinery of the Free Press
were more or less injured. The job
rooms were utterly destroyed. The
rooms above the iob-rooms were used
as stereotype foundry and as the mail
clerks room. In the office of the latter
every paper was saved intact, including
the subscription lists of all the editions
of the Free Press.

ENGLAND's POLICY.

LONDON, April %.
GaUnorn Hardy, oecreUaIy rUr India,
presiding at a banquet at Bradford,
last night, said the Government took
its stand upon public faith and honesty,
and upon the declaration of 1871, that
one party to an engagement could not
withdraw from it without the consent
of the rest. The real question was
whether England had or had not great
interests in the East He maintained
that the treaty of San Stefano, in
its present shape, did not con-
tain single element of the per-
manence of peace. The interests of
the Greek and Mussulman populations
must be protected, as well as those of
the Slavs. The measures of the Brit
ish Government were not warlike, but
precautionary. A war party or war
Minister was an impOssibility in En-
gland. If a people went to war, it
must not be for the sake of victories,
but only for great principles. The
Government was determined to main
tain the principles by which their con-
duct on the Eastern question had hith-
erto been actuated.
ENGLAND DECLINES TO ADVANCE A PLAN
OF HER OWN.
The Pail Mall Gazette, in n leading
editorial, says: "The solicitation to
us of Germany, Austria and Italy to
propose a plan of our own amounts to
neither more nor less than a verbally
modified offer of the principle of equiv
alents as a basis of settlement for the
Eastern question. That offer has been
again and again declined by Her Males
tvs Ministers during the progress of
the late war, and we have no fear of
their accepting it at time when they
would incur more conspicuous discredit
by so doing than on any past occasion. y
