Austria. Now, as to Austria, it wou!d
he very easy for Russia to engage her
assistance by giving her Servia and
other provinces bordering upon the
Austrian domiuions. reaching near to
Constantinople. The only hypothesis
that France and England may ever be

will not avail. France, England, and
Prussia united cannot prevent it.

A special telegram ,rom New Orleans
t" our esteemed contemporary, the
New York Times, printed in that Jour
nal on Sunday, stated, on what pur-
ported to be the "highest authority"
that "bef"re the sentence Of the law is
carried into effect in General Ander-

terfrre." The same dispatch also sta
ted that "if the supreme Court refuses
to grant General Anderson a new trial,
he Will be sentenced according to the
terms of the law but it is certain that
Governor Nichols will at once mar
don him."
1t is said that Governor Nichols
personally made no pledges as coudi
tons of his being installed in his pres.
ent Office, but that persons of iufln.
ence, standing, and 10 the closest rela-
tons with him, did make such pied.

feel himself bound to carry them out.

AS an evidence of the changes be

among US as residents, and the prom.

Sunny South, who, quite naturally

In ante bellum days the social
costumes of this city were governed
by southern influence and character
istics; of course the war changed all
this. Many native Southerncrs left

whose sympathies we're all with the
Confeleracy, retired within the
precincts Of their aristocratic dwell
ings to brood over what had heen.
and for several years there was an
utter cessation of social life in Wash

the hospitals, was tabooed, and when
fashion and gayety rose, Phoenix like
