the effect that the prclminslies of peace are vet

Thus in the latter, with regard to the Bulgarian
future, the limits OF existence do not appear to
have been specified, nor the degree to which the
autonomy Of Bulgaria, or the reforms in Bosnia

to be the with regard to increase of terri
tory for Montenegro.
A special to the Times from Pera saws that the
Porte persisted in the determination not to permit
the British fleet to enter the Dardanelles, except
an alley of Turkey
England informed the Porte that the fleet must
enter without permission.
The Porte entered formal protest, which was
forwarded to the Penipotentiary at the Russian
headquarters, but did not actually oppose the en-
try.

Rev. MIR. BicknelI'. Lecture.

Rev G. w. Bicknell delivered his lecture enti-
tied "Enthusiasm," in Winthrop Street Universal
list church, last evening, to good audience The
speaker in commencing his lecture said If there
are any people in the world who are not entitled
to our sympathy, it is the lazy. If the lecturer
had an isdolent church, he would preach heresy
occasionally. He thought it would arouse the
people. The best thing for any community is the
presence of a thoroughly alive and enthusiastic
man. Ii a man expects to gain any great object
In life he goes to work with his whole being alive
and in glow. We are all DESTROYS of happiness,
but if we would gain it we must press forward,
and throw off all indolence; it will never come
without action. 1t is the enthusiast lc man, wheth-
er he is genius or not, that succeeds. 1t is the
enth usiastc man that moves the multitude; that
writes mis- name highest on the book of fame
iife without enthusiasm, is a most inspil affair
1t is merely living, breathing-dying Observa-
ton had taught him this truth That the world
will hate the man while he is living, but will adore
him when he has arisen and attained his end. He
spoke of the enthusiasm that prompted those men
who have given to us the printing press. the steam
engine, the telegraph The speaker concluded
the lecture by thoughts under the two heads, ZEN
thusiasm of weakness" and enthusiasm Of sacri-
fee !" graphic picture, under the last head, OF

and wildly drawn as to produce applause. The
audience gave their closest attention to the lee
