Russian troops never got beyond
Adrianople. England all at once
has shown an unexpected energy,
and If the Gar shows an equal OBJ

been treated may yet amount to
something tragic. We have but
one fervent aspiration, which may
be expressed in sporting parlance,
and that it is that the parties to

have been snuffing the battle from

What delight we should have taken
in laying before our readers the
minutest details of marches, sieges,
battles, and all the accompaniment
of the "pride, pomp and circum'
stance of glorious war" with its
'moving accidents by flood and

ELLSWORTH, Me-, May 7th.-No
significance is attached to the visit
to the Cimbria of the agents of the
Union Pacific and Lake Shore Rail-
roads. They only came upon a
rumor that the Russians were des-
tined for the Pacific Coast. They
could get no hint from the officers
of any such intention and returned
without any more knowledge of the
Russian plans than has alread been
telegraphed. The rumor that
British steamer had been outside
proves unfounded. The only trace
of British espionage is the presence
of the Vice Consul, but the feeling
here is SO intensely Russian that
no one seems inclined to talk with
him. He expresses surprise that
the United States Government has
not a cutter here on the watch.
There is nothing to watch other
than a German steamer flying the
German flag at anchor with only
passengers on board. The ships
papers show Russians simply as
passengers. The cabin passengers
are carried as pleasure travellers
and the steerage passengers are
carried as tradesmen. Among
other prominent officers are Count
Alexeff, Lieut.. Arclan, Baron In
gernsterberg, NJ. Wanoff, M. Sla-
whisky, NJ. Pavolof and Captain
Bodenhauaen.

There are strong indications that Eng.

and take ahand 10 The Eastern war. The
New York Herald correspondent in Loa.
don is informed, on good authority, that
10 military circles war is regarded as in-
eyitable. Profound uneGSiness prevails
everywhere, and there is great depression
Ia trade and finance. Saturdays Pail Mol
Gassge contained a most significant arti-
Gle. Alter referring to the extraordina-
nary fact Of holding Cabinet meetings in
Christmas week, and the attitude OF Rus.
sia and Germany, 1t closes as follows:
Surely Il cannot be denied that there Ia
scarcely a nation in Europe, great OF
small, that IL not concerned 10 these dark
and anxious troubles, or which at any
moment may not find itself deeply inter,
ested. That EDgIAnd is in this condition
Ia a matter Of absolute certainty, yet
every day sermons are addressed 10 the
Government fOrbidding~ them TO see OF
say they see any danger, threatening them
with the wrath OF God and OF mankind IL
they dare to make the least provision
against perils clearly before their eyes.
But unless all Europe lies under al
illusion and only the friends OF Russia ID
England are wise Il would be mere imbe'
cility on the part Of the Government II
like no other European Ministry, they
take no thought for the armament OF thu
nation. 1t may be that the signs ant
tokens OF to-day belle the real condition
OF affairs. 1t may be that yesterday
Cabinet meeting had good and not bad
news before It, but unless there really i
a break in the sky it would be the meres
folly for u rich nation like this, with 81
many interests to protect, to make nj
preparation for the storm.

The Eject OF Diet on Liquor
Drinking.

Charles Napier, an English scientific
man, has been testing the truth Of Lie.
berg's theory that liquor-drinking is
compatible with animal food, but not
with afarinaceous diet. The experiment
was tried upon q liquor-drinking per.
sons with results subatantiating the
Liebeg theory. Among the more strik-
ing instances OF reform brought about by
a change OF diet was that Of u gentleman
Of 90 who had been addicted to intem.
perate habits for So years, his ontbursts
averaged one a week. His constitution
was 50 shattered hat he had great diff.
Guilty in insuring his lie. After an at
tack Of delirium tremens, which nearly
ended fatally, he was persuaded to enter
upon a iarfnaceous diet, which, we are
assured, cured him completely in seven
months. he seems to have been very
thin at the beginning Of the experiment,
but by the close Of the period named had
gained % pounds, being then Of about the
normal weight for a person oil his height.
Among the articles OF food which are
specified by Napier as pre-emineut for
antagonism to alcohol are macaroni,
haricot beans, dried peas and lentils. all
OF which should be we'll boiled, and flaw.
ored with plenty Of butter or olive oil.
The various garden vegetables are said to
be helpful, but a diet manly composed Of
them would not resist the tendency to
intemperance SO e%fEectually as n Of
macaroni and i~arinaceous food. From
this point Of view, highly glutinous bread
would be OF great utility, but II should
not be sour, such acidity being calculated
to foster the habit OF alcoholic drinking.
A like remark may be applied to the use
Of sailed food. Itweinquite the cause Of
a vegetarian's alleged disinclination to
alcoholic liquors, we find that the carbo.
naceous starch contained 10 the maca.
