Worse Than War.

London, Jan. ia Times special
from Giurgevo says the mortality
among Turkish prisoners at Frateshti
is fearful, and that place is becoming
a terror to travellers between Bucharest
and the Danube. Even if there is
nothing worse there than the ordinary
types of disease, the mortality evidenced
by the numerous graves in the plain
surrounding the prisoners camp justi-
fies the apprehensions of the traveller.
The correspondent saw Russian SOL
diers digging huge graves and near
them so Turkish corpses lying in con-
fused heaps, as they were emptiei from
the dead carts. Their ragged, half
clad forms and the frost bites on their
naked limbs gave evidence of the hard
ships they had suffered on their march
from Nikopolis.

TILDEN'S TAX SUITS.
Firs, Blood for the Defendant.

New York, Jan. 29.-Arguments in
the case of the United States VS.. Sam
uel J. Tilden, to recover $1,000 as an
annual income tax for the years 1861
and 1882, with interest from the 30th
of June, 1862, were begun this morn
ing in the United States District court.
There are nine counts in the complaint,
to all of which a demurrer is made on
technical grounds, the merits of the
case not being gone into. 1t was de-
cided to take up each count separately.
The first count charges $1,000 back
tax for the fiscal years 1861 and 1862.
Tilden's counsel claim that the laws
passed about that time were recognized
as necessary war measures, and .annulled
the law requiring the payment of income
tax in that year. Judge Blatchford
sustained the demurrer, giving Tilden
the first victory.

IT IS French philosopher who says
that "the average female dresses for
her lover or her husband; the girl for
her rivals; but only the true woman for
herself" The same philosopher has
observed that "the German woman is
covered, the English woman clothed
and the French woman dressed" The
American woman combines all these
characteristics, except sometimes that
of the German.

A Declaration of War.

Washington, Jan. 19.-The President,
by appointing Williamson as collector
at New Orleans, has invited an excit-
ing contest in the Senate. Kellogg did
not want him, but did want Packard,
and Eustis is naturally opposed to Will
hanson, who, however, is one of the
best possible of men for the place. The
lesson of this is that the President in
tends to select men of his own, without
consulting Senators. 1t is said that
most of this weeks nominations have
been displeasing to the Senators con-
cerned in them.
