LONDON, April 8, 1873.
The Standard has the following from
Constantineple:-"T Russians fearing
that the Turks will endeavor to main
tain neutrality, M. Onou, FIRST dragoman
of the Russian Embassy, has made the
following demands, which may be re
garded as an NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
o the Russians of fortific ations on both
sides OF the Upper Bssphorus and CALI
poll and Bouloir on the Dardanelles. The
Turks are also to evacuate Makrikeni
and Maslack and place some barracks
and hospitals at the disposal of the Rus
SLAMS. The Grand Duke Nicholas last
night urged these demands upon Reouf
Pacha, and they will be submitted to the
council. 1t is said that the Sultan and
Vefvk Pacha oppose them.'

EARNEST LOVERS OF PEACE.
The correspondent of The Daily Tele-
graph at Vienna says:-"A deppatch
from Count Won Beust, the Austrian
Ambassador at London, received here,
states that Lords Beaconsfield and Sails
bury earnestly desire the masntenance
of peace, but if Russia's atlade should
render war a necessity it will be carried
on until resistance is crushed. News
from st. Petersburg as to the result of
General lgnateff's mission here, which
will TO great extent settle the question
OF peace or war, is hourly expected. 1t
is not probable that General Ignatieii
will return to this city. Lord Salisbury's
circular has increased the friendly dis
position here toward England. Ger

The Coming Peach Crop.

Notwithstanding the various reports re-
gaIding the failure of the peach crop,
formation from the peach growing dis
trlct OF Delaware and the Eastern Shore
of Maryland shows that the indications
a-e excellent for more than an average
crop. Only near the seacoast were the
buds injured to any extent Some of the
largest growers are of the opinion that
the crop will fully equal if not excel that
OF last year, but will not reach in quanti-
ty the crop of 1876, which was very large.

A German astronomer of note, Herr Lo.

A German astronomer of note, Herr Lo-
schmidt has published his views on that
much debated subject, the sun, and the
changes in its condition which may reason
ably be expected. Accepting the general view
that the sun is slowly cooling, and that its sur
face will gradually solidify. after the planets
have fallen upon it, he holds in addition that
as the solidified exterior of the sun will pre-.
vent the emission of light and heat, the latter
will be absorbed from space until the interior
OF the sun is raised in temperature to degree
almost insonceivable, or giving Herr L.
Schmidt figures to 2500O),0)0 degrees cent?
grade. This interior will, of course, be gas
eOus, and when the suns crust can no longer
resist the pressure, an explosion of some mag
nitude Is expected to occur Such an event
would disseminate the matter composing the
sun through space, and another process would
begin. This is the gradual cooling down of
the bodies thus made, which would result in
the formation of new planets and a new solar
system. Thus we are brought back to the
point from which We started, and We have
fresh world and another sun ready to repeat
the process above described. And so on in
definitely, unless an overriding power shall
break up this established succession of devel-
OpmeIt and decay.

MantOn Marbles letter, giving an account
of the organization of the Electoral Commits
sion and the attending events very favorable
to Governor Tilden, is regarded by the friends
In this city OF Thurman and Bayard as design
ed to break them down as Presidential candi-
dates. The opinion among some shrewd poll
ticians is that the document was manipulated
by MIR. Tilden himself, who is uneasy at the
growing strength of Judge Thurman, and en-
ployed Marbles pen with the hope of killing
him OFF. In fact, this opinion seems to be en-
tertained as well by republicans as by demo-
cratic politicians here.

The work OF revising the New Testament,
which is now going on in England, approaches
completion. The scheme OF preparing a new
version of the Bible which should retain the
pure and vigorous English Of the translation
in common use, and at the same time show
an improvement In point Of clearness and &C.
curacy, was strongly urged by Dean Afford.
In 1870 the convocatiOn of Canterbury appoint
ed a committee to make the revision. Soma of
the most eminent Biblical scholars in England
have engaged directly or indirectly in the
work, which, as far as the New TeStam ent Is
concerned. is now nearly finished. 1t Is ex
pected that this part Of the Bible in its revised
form, will be presented to the couvocation
next year. A new version is also In course of

The organized attempt at burglary In this

1t is to be hoped that the defeat of so bold and

still greater rarity. We want law that will
severely punish the attempt to commit crime

There seems to be too much truth this year
in the usual report that 1.-The peach crop is
failure" The blame is laid on the cold weather
in May. The doleful news that the crop this
season will be only one eighth OF last years
yield, which was itself "a failure" being only
half the average, is not, perhaps, entitled to
an unquestioning belief. But there is no doubt
that the crop is small and of inferior quality.
1t is suggested that the peach trees have been
discouraged from yielding full crop by the
grumbles about ''oyerproductiOn."
