YOUTHFUL GAMBLERS.

Some one seeking valuable in!orma-
ton under difficulties sends US, through
the postoffice, the following couundrum:
"WHEELING, March 6, 1873.
"What is there about the vice of gam
bling, so prevalent among our young
men, that induces the editors OF papers
TO publish the names OF some AID sup
press those OF others, because they are IN
official position2 Whist is 1t?
"INQUIRER."
Enquirer" sends his favor TO the wrong
office; he should have sent it to one OF the
enterprisirg sheets which published the
list Of "poor devils" and suppressed the
names of those supposed 10 possess more
influence, who were indicted.
While on this subject We will state, for
the information Of all concerned, that
hereafter the REGISTER will exclude
from ne columns ali the petty filth of the
Police Court, aud rs fax as we can con.
si.tent with our duty as public journal
lat, all the disgusting scandals Of the
town. We hope TO make the REGISTER
the reflex of the better sentiment of the
city, and to present through its columns
faithful account of its industries, its
business, its commerce; matters that are
of interest in the family circle and in the
business oflice-excluding as far as posi-
bic those things which are not elevsting
in their character.

TIE PRICE OF PEACE.

The substance of the conditions Of
peace between Russia and Turkey, will

They are short, TO tbs point, and tell of
the utter humiliation and prostration of
tho Turks, and the extinguishing OF their
power in Europe. The indem-
nifty is placed st l,4l0000-
600 rubles, or about sl,0s6,OOO,OO0. OF
this amout l, 100 O00,O0 rubles are paid in
c,ssions of torrltory, leaving $4,000, 900
rltlos, or s2S9,O00,u00 to be paid in
money. 1t seems rather strange that the
time when this latter sum is 20 DO psid
and the securities Tor It, ere left
in such an unsettled and indie.
finite condition. There is no mention
whatever of the Egyptisn or Bulgs-
risn tributes or the Turkish feat.
A simple statement Is made that the
two principals to the treaty shall herest-
ter determine how the indemnity shall
be paid. Large concessions Of territory
are 10 be made to Roumania. Seryis is
to have Sienitzs, Novibszar, and Vrau-

gsris is TO be semi-independent prlnci-
pslity and governed by Christian
prince. II will be occupied
by Russian troops until the Bulgarian
militia is formed and ready for duty.
Her territory is extended south OF the
Balkans, and thus the famous mountain
passes which have been Turkeys CHIEF
bulwsrk on this frontier, will be taken
from her, and the occupation of Constan-
tinopie through Besssrsbia will be easily
accomplished at any future time. All ar
resrs in taxes in Bosnia and HerZego-
vinia are to beremitted and the revenue
until 1880, is to go toward indemnitying
sufferers by the Instruction and for local
needs. A commission of Austrians and
Russians will arburate the disputed
claims. One of the most important
clauses in the whole list, is that declaring
that the straits shall be open in peace or
war for all merchant vessels. Rus
siss demand of Bessarsbrs and offer
OF the Dobrudska in exchange
for it, has called forth strong protest
from Roumania, 10 whom Bessarabla was
given after the Crimean war in order 10
prevent Russia from closing the mouths
of the Danube at will. No indemnity is
stipulated for Servla or Montenegro, and
Roumsnia is to make her demand direct.

Greece or Crete, but Thessaly and Cyprus
are granted an organization similar to
that gwen Crete in 1868.

has been written since the beginning OF

evscuste Asistic Turkey within srs
months. and European Turkey within
three, and the treaty is to be
ratified within fifteen days, a.
though its provisions so into

AS Lord Derby has declared that Thu!
extension of Russian territory will no
affect English interests and as those de-
msnds which would have embodied
England in war with Russia, namely
the turning of the Egyptian tribute anc
Turkish feet ovor to Russia, have beer
abandoned, Great Britain seems 20 nay'
no cause for picking quarrel will
Russia. England's interests are heavily
affected in an indirect way, but she ma
been utterly outwitted in diplomacy.
In the opinion of the Pera correspOn
dent of the London Times, this cessiol
OF her hostile European provinces b,
Turkey will make her ten times as stron!
as she was before, for it will concentrate

a POSSIBLE RIVAL TO COTTON.

Governor MATHEWS is in receipt of
letter IRON Prof. SYLVESTER WATER.
HOUSE asking his aid in introducing into
this State the cultivation Of flute.
The Professor is well known from his
Interesting articles on various scientific
subjects which have direct bearing on
on agriculture, ard as Professor
in Washington University IN St. Louis
for twenty years. He has spent great
deal of tine in India and has studied the
subject OF jute culture in all Its bearings
and knows whereof he speaks.
He SAYS that the conditions of soil and
climate in the Southern States and
Csli:ornis are perfectly adapted to the
growth Of the plant, which ranks fourth
among the diversified products of that
garden OF tho earth, India, being e1-
cscded in production only by cotton,
opium and rice.
Sven hundred millions of pounds
were exported in 1872, of which three
hundred millions were manufactured in
Crest Britain.
The uses to which the FIBRE may be put
are many and varied, or rs the Professor
says, at is used in the coursest gunny-
BAYS, or the finest satin" It's culture is
less injurious 10 the soil upon which it is
grown, and more mohey can be made
from il TO the acre, than from sugar-canc
or cotton. Tho growth OF jute is luxu-
rlous one, and sometimes yields thirty
five hundred pounds to the acre.
Should native iute become cheap
enough to facilitate the movements of the
crops in bags and balIng, it would DO a
most desirable and useful product. Our
natural advantages Of sol! combined
with our agricultural machinery.
our skilled labor, our superior chemical
and mechanical processes would place us
ahead of the product of the rude manual
labor Of India and she could not compete
with us IN foreign markets. New means
of rendering this fibre valuable and IN
yentIons for its utilization would spring |
up throughout the States and broad and |
entirely novel road to wealth would be
opened. Perhaps the cultivation of jute
could also he successfully accomplished |
in the Middle States ms we'll ss the South |
ern; test on small scale would not |
cost much, even if it should fail, and if it |
should turn out well the benefit would |
ho almost incalculable. Jute seed and |
sill the practical instructions necessary |
csn be had Of the Agricultural Depart
ment at Washington, ID. &. AS the |
time for active work is st hand any
one who desires 10 test this idea should
begin st once.
With Prof. WArERuoUsE's letter is a
superb sample Of jdte fibre. 1t is of a
beautiful straw color, tingcd with gold,
each hire being soft as floss silk and very |
etFOng
