Hostilities between the Russians
and Turks have ceased. an armistice
having been signed, though HOSTILE
ties may be resumed after three days
notice. Austria has sent invitations
to all the powers to attend a confer
ence to be held at Vienna, and all
except Russia have signifed their
willingness to do SO. Russia desires
the conference to be held elsewhere,
in more secluded place. Great ex-
element prevails everywhere, and a
war amongst the powers may break
out at any moment.
Pope Plus TX closed his long life
on Thursday last. For years past he
had held death at bay, seemingly by
the force of an indomitable will, and
though he had several times stood on
the verge, he rallied and resumedhis
duties. Recently he had been re-
ported much better and so the news
ofhis decease came with the shock Of
surprise. Death always seems sud
den. Even those who watched by
death-bed are startled when the face
changes from life to the utter blank;
and now, though the world has been
awaiting, one might say from day to
day for the dark tidings, they come
and take it'unawares.
The Massachusetts Legislature is
being petitioned and argued with to
repeal such of its laws as cause dou-
BILE taxation. Ingersoll could not
frame tax laws so unjust, unaccount-
able and illogical as we have in New
England, They can only be &C.
counted for us accidents.-Hanfo
Courant,
And West Virginia made an exact
copy of the Massachusetts laws so
far as to tax mans property where
he isn't as well as where he is.
A slight decline in wheat and flour
may be fairly expected, now that Eu-
ropean peace seems to be reasona
bly, assured. The anticipation that
it would take all winter and perhaps
till another harvest to bring any
Black sea grain into the market, in
case of peace, is not confirmed by the
intelligence from Odessa. The Cri.
mean ports have about 100000
bushels of wheat to pour into the
market as soon as the Dardanelles are
opened, quantity which cannot but
reduce the price at Liverpool for some
months. The wisdom of those west
ern farmers who sold their grain as
soon us they thrashed, was abundant
ly justified this year. However, our
leading flour man in Wheeling is of
the opinion that the price of wheat
and flour will not materially decline
even though we have extraordinary
export demand, as the country was
unusually barren Of wheat when the
last harvest was gathered. His opin'
ion'is, that Ye,have no such surplus
of grain in this country as to cause
glut in the market, even if We have
to rely upon our own stomachs tofnr-
nish the demand. So, those who
have been inveighing against the
Russian war as the cause of high
price -four may not realize their
dream of peace and cheap bread

In paper read at a.domeStic economy
congress, at birmingham, England, not
long ago, DR.. Wilson gave the following
hints on the proper times for eating for
different classes OF workers: For the ac-
tive outdoor laborer andartisan, IN early
breakfast before work, q midday dinner,
with an interval OF rest, and supper after
the days work is over, have long been
proved BY experience 10 be most conducive
10 health. For the business man q later
breakfast. midday luncheon and q late
dinner after the days work Is over, is
the best arrangement, For literary
men, who write more in the evening
than during the day, an early dinner and
a light supper will he found TO. be the
most advantageous for steady work
Idlers, to enjoy life, il they possibly can,
should dine early II they intend to spend
the evening at theatres and the like,
but il they accept dinner invitations
freely they should be very careful not to
eat too much at the midday meal. The
breakfast hour should be determined in q
great measure BY the hour OF rising; but
in any case food should be partaken ofbe-
fore the material business OF the day is
commenced. Those who like to take a
constitutional before breakfast would
find their appetite whettetl and their walk
made all the moro enjoyable il they took
little milk or Gaze an lat, with bread or bis
cult, before starting. Work done before
breakfast is always irksome and iatiguing,
and on that account it is very likely to be
badly done. The last meal should be SUI
fciently late for the whole not to be alb
sorbcd before retiring to rest. To person
in health three meals a day ought TO be
quite sufficient, and the practice Of contin-
ually taking something" is sure to bring
on indigestion.
