More RumOrs of War.

The London Times despatch from Constantinople says that in both Turkish and Greek circles the idea is gaining ground that war is inevitable. An inhu- ential party in the Turkish Council, headed by Osman Pashn, holds that a purely defensive policy Is impossible, for military reasons.
 The Central News Agency has report that the Russian videttes are within if teen miles of Constantinople. The Brit ish Government is anxious, and is re- solved to immediately demand an expla- nation.
 A despatch to the Times from Vienna states that Russia has informed the pow CTS of the stoppage of the retreat of the Russian troops, and has invited them to join i'll the energetic representations which Prince L3hanotf is instructed to make to induce the Porte to take prompt measures to step outrages upon the Christians.
 The Daily Tclcgraph's Vienna des- patch says that Russia is still urging Rouman1a to conclude convention granting the right of passage for Russian troops through her territory for the minimum period of two years. Count Andrassy has, so far, induced Roumania to withhold her consent. The Russian army in Roumelia and Bulgaria still amounts, contrary to the treaty, to 153.' 900 men.

Millions in It.

At Western Agricultural show the orator of the day spoke as follows:- There is an industry, my friends, that seems to be entirely monCpolized by one or two counties in the southern part of the State, in which more money can be made, according to the investment, than in any other species of agriculture. l allude to the raising of wolves, in order to sell the scalps to the State. You devote good deal of time and labor to the raising of sheep, and what do you get for it. The best sheep cannot lay more than eight pounds of wool in a season, and, even if you get 50 cents per pound for it, you have not got any great bopanza. Now, the State en- courages the raising of wolves by offer ing bounty of $10 for piece of skin off the head of each wolf. It does not cost any more to raise a wolf than it does to raise sheep, and, while sheep rarely raise more than two lambs 8 year, q pair of good wolves are liable to raise twenty young ones in the course of a year, if it is a good year for wolves. In addition to the encouragement offered by the State, many counties give as much more, so that one wolf scalp will bring more money than five sheep. You will readily see that cur wise legislators are offering inducements to you that you should be thankful for. You can establish wolf orchard on any farm, and, with pair of good wolves to start on, there is millions in it.

The Afghan-Engiish War.

The population of Afghanistan, with which country England is about to en- gage in war, is 4,1O9,OOO, of whom one- half are Pagans. Agriculture and sol dering are their sole occupations. As a race they are handsome and athletic, often with fair complexions and flowing boards, generally brown or black. They have the hair shaved from the forehead to the top of the head, the remainder at the sides being allowed to fall in curls over the shoulders. The step is full of resolution, the bearing proud and apt to be rough. The situation is much like that between Germany and France, to which Alsace and Lorraine, also table land, stood as Afghanistan stands to England and Russia. Whichever of the two powers possessed the plateau could choose its own time for attack, while it could not be assailed without great diff ficulty and ample notice. India, with Afghanistan in hostile or coldly neutral hands, is 1ndefensible, whereas if Eng land held Afghanistan, to make hostile attempt on her Indian possessions from the plains of the Oxus and Jaxartes would be an almost desperate under taking. Hence England as a matter oi expediency, it not being a question oi morals, must take Afghanistan precisely as Germany has taken Alsace and LOT. | raine.

Utilized Gas Wells.

East Liverpool it beautifully situated, about fifty miles above Wheeling on the banks of the Ono, in the southwestern part of Columbian county, one hundred miles from Cleveland and forty miles from Pittsburgh.
 Its natural gas wells form one of the seven wonders of the world. They are situated in and around tle city and give it continual supply of the finest light. The gas is almost as free as the air. It costs practically nothing, and forms the illuminator and heater of the town. The city is lighted by it, and the street-lamps blaze away at monday as well as at mid night. It costs nothing to let them burn, and it takes trouble to put them out.
 Almost the entire fuel used in the town is this gas. It is con d into the grates and stoves in pipes a. " it all the cooking and heating is done. It does the business, makes no dirt, is easy to kindle and costs very little. Why, for instance, the Dobbin House, where am now writing, is three-story brick, containing in the neighborhood of fifty rooms and a basement. Its light and fuel for the whole house is composed of gas and costs only $14 per month the year round, and it's light is not the flick ering mockery of poorly manufactured gas, but flame which approximates in it's brilliancy that of the electric light.
 But the question is, how long will this last? Will these wells continue to send forth their streams of light-giving power throughout the centuries, or will they die away in the course of short time This, of course, no one can tell. The prospects are, however, very good for the future. The first we'll discovered now burns as brightly as when it was first opened, and for the last twenty years has never Jagged in It's brilliancy, and none of those now in operation have ever shown any signs of giving out. Fol years Liverpool used manufactured gas, never dreaming of the rich supply that was wasting away daily under it's very feet. The poor quality of this caused | Colopel d. h. Hill, 1n 1So9, to experl- ment with and open his first gas we'll in this vicinity.
 A well was dug, being some four hun- dred and fifty feet deep, and pipe laid. That we'll has been furnishing fuel and light to several houses, producing the steam for large engine and burning pottery-kilns every day for over twenty years.
 The great beauty of the gaslight is the entire absence of smoke and dirt, and when in an open grate playing through burning iron log, made in the imitation of wood, or over Jumps of coke or red-hot firebrick, it has all the cheer fitness of an open coal fire or an old fashioned country fireplace, with none of its dirtiness.

A Great Temptation.

Ono of the officers of the ill-fated Princess Alice had received his appoint ment after being unemployed for long time, and this had enabled him to turn himself round little, and, though still feeling the crippled effects of his en- forced idleness in the winter, things at home were getting easier, and he pro- posed the day before the fatal event that his wife should take a holiday and go down to Sheerness with the steamer. He actually procured pass, and did his best to persuade his wife to go on that disastrous Tuesday. It was a great temptation, but she declined, and the husband went off alone. That night she waited up and grew uneasy. The death-watch, she says, ticked inces- sanity in her parlor, and she went out to the door and heard Big Ben boom out hour after hour-2 o'clock, quarter past 2, half-past 2-and then, feeling weary and anxious, she went to bed. A quarter of an hour later telegram came, informing her that the boat had come in COlllS1Ou, duu u6I uuSbu4u WdS H. luTGCl, and requesting her to go down to Wool wich. What that startling summons was to woman who had a family of five little children, and who had been listen, ing all the evening to the "death watch, , may be conceived. It is fifteen miles from Vauxhau to Woolwich, and at o'clock in the morning she started off
 and ran and walked and cried the whole distance. When the telegram came she clasped one of her children to her breast and told the little one that her father was drowned. She had no doubt tha
 that was the truth, because of the tick ing, and she plodded down that wear. journey on foot feeling herself widow and her children fatherless. The bus band was injured, and seriously injured but not dead, and he is recovering, anC will probably live to do many goo( days work yet. The shock and excite ment to tho wife were such that for
 whole week she was unable to sleep.

From Acute to Chronic

Is an easy stage in cases of dyspepsia. A slight attack of indigestion, especially when there is a prcdisposition to digestive weakness of the stomach, must speedily culminate in the more obstinate form of the disease. It is well, therefore, to adopt preventive measures early. Although Hostetters Stomach Bitters over comes, if persisted in, cases of dyspepsia of wisdom to use it ere the malady assumes q chronic phase. This is particularly true because as dyspepsia advances, it engenders other bodily evils, such us disorder of the liver, constipation or undue looseness of the bowels, nervous disorders, hypochondria sleepl, ssness. These maladies are both pre- vented and remedied by the Bitters, but how much better to check them in their outset with the great alterative, than to wait until they established 'firmer foothold in the system Surely the advisability of this must be ap parent

With the Carpetbags.

In an address to farmers Bod Ingor-
 soil spoke as follows about certain things
 of our day: Every man that could get
 $500 worth of goods on trust became a
 merchant. They wanted to be dentists,
 lawyers, doctors-something that there was no work in. When they could not do that they would start an insurance association. Then they sent their agents all over the country to get your property insured, to get your life insured, and every moment you would have d pic ture of coffin thrust In your face to see if you wouldn't insure. And those agents would came and sit down by you and talk about your last struggle with that monster They got a certain share of the premium, and they insured anybody. They insured consumption in Its last hemorrhage, and the money flowed into the society. As soon as the fellows began to die the company closed its doors. Then they had fire insurance companies. The agents of these also had share of the premiums, and I tell you that for six, eight, or ten years, they would have insured an iceberg in perdi, tion. Then the merchants filled all the cars and all the hotels and bars with
 runners and drummers. Every man that you meet had three carpet-sacks filled with samples. And in the mean. time we had the Bankrupt law, so that every man who couldn't pay his debts might take the benefit of this law. Ther it all went to the clerks, &c., of the courts. I never heard of anybody getting more than three per cent. on any claim in my llfe.

-TbA Raw Mir Hayden. who was dis

The Rev. Mir. Hayden, who was dis charged by the Justice at Madison, Conn.,, has been renrrested, charged with the murder of Mary Stannard. This last arrest is made by the Sheriff on the order of the Superior Court. Mr. Hay den IS now in jail. It is claimed that new and important evidence has been discovered against him.
 The excursion train which left Silver Lake, Plympton, Mass, after the regat- ta, at forty minutes past five P. M., on the Old Colony Railroad, consisted of eighteen Cars, compartment coach, n baggage car and two locomotives. When it reached WnlIaston station, about seven miles from Boston, the locomotives jumped the track, owing to Q misplaced switch. and carried with them the bag gage car, compartment coach and three passenger cars, all of which were con- 'pletely wrecked. About twenty people were killed and some 40 wounded.

Walking Cases of Yellow Fever.

Tho term, says an exchange, is tech nical one, understood in yellow fever districts. A "walking case" is pa tient who refuses to go to bed and keeps his feet until he drops dead. Some times he refuses to admit that he has yellow fever; sometimes he realizes that he has the dread disease and despairs of recovery from the start. Sometimes the "walking case manifests the most ab- iect fear, and again he displays the courage and indifference of spy led out to execution. Sometimes the "walk- ing" is confined to the patients cham Der, and then again he roams the streets, with the seal of death on his brow, the dreadful black vomit oozing from his lips-an object of horror to all whom he encounters. This stalking death is not an uncommon feature of life in New Or. leans during the prevalence of an cpl demic. Many who passed through the fearful ordeal of 1853, in which nearly eight thousand victims perished, will re- member the case of John O., a Mem phis printer. He was a nun of splendid physique and handsome presence, but an unfortunate love affair had made him reckless. He developed walking case" of yellow fever, and for two days and nights roamed the streets and ire. quented the drinking houses of the city, in spite of all his friends could do, final. ly falling on the street, and dying before he could be conveyed to his lodgings, He would wipe the black vomit from his lips, hold up the handkerchief, critically examine the horrible exudation, and re mark with grim humor that his coffee didn't agree with him that morning Death is dreadful at best, but no disease presents so great horror as " walking case" of yellow fever.

Foreign Immigration.

The revival of foreign immigration to this country begins to be very noticeable. During last month the arrivals of immigrants at New York were S,955, against 6,673 for the same month last year during the last three months they were 25, 263, against 20, 109 in the same time last year. Causes are now at work that will still further add to this increase. The Socialists in Germany have avowed their intention of emigrating to the United States by wholesale to avoid persecution at home. There are some thing like 9O0,0OO Socialist voters in Germany; should they all take it into their heads to come hither with their families they would form handsome addition to our population. The threatened increase of hard times in Great Britain will also have the effect of accelerating and enlarging the emigra- ton movement. It will not be surprising If, ere long, we shall sec the tide of emigration rolling in upon us in as great volume as eyer.

Ruined for Life.

A San Francisco correspondent writes as follows: Whatever may be the end of this gambling mania, it is idle to preach prudence here now. San Fran cisco is Q vast gambling hell at the pres ent writing, and the women are if possi- ble wc4se than the men in their greed to obtain money by gambling in mining stocks. A very sad case illustrative of the demoralization which the craze is devel- oping is now before the police court. A young woman of one of the best-known society families, wild to raise few hun dred dollars with which to speculate in mining stocks, invented @ bogus chari- table society to relieve the pressing wants of needy and starving families, whose modesty would not permit them to make personal appeal to the charity of their friends or the public. She appointed herself treasurer, under false name, and sent out number of circulars beg ging for money. One of these circulars was sent to MT. Sam Wilson, a promi- nent lawyer, who, suspecting swindle, sent police officer to follow the messen- ger and investigate. At the same time he handed the messenger small sum of money, which was duly delivered to the young woman who was waiting in the street, and who, being unable to estab- fish the good faith of the society for which she pretended to be acting, was arrested, and charged with swindling and obtaining money by false pretenses. MT. Wilson was sent for, and found to his consternation that the prisoner was a fashionable young woman, a frequent visitor at his own and others of the best houses ill town. Bail was taken for hel appearance her true name was with held from the police report and the newspapers, and strenuous efforts are being made to avoid trial and public exposure. The affair is, however, all open secret, and the girl, who is only nineteen, is ruined for life.

Yellow Fever Contributions.

AMemphis paper says:-The Towards occupy three stores in the Adams block on Second street. Here, in these spacious rooms, are deposited the con- tributions of the charitable from all parts of the world. While there is on immense quantity of articles necessary for the maintenance of our destitute people, there is a very large variety of entirely useless provisions and clothing of all sorts and conditions, that cannot be sold or gwen away. The pious souls who have shown their great hearts by sending us bottled fruits, preserves and jam of all sorts, homemade wine, potatoes, onions and perishable stuff, that can neither be sold nor given away, have our hearty thanks. We take the will for the deed, and thank them as sincerely as if their offerings were of the utmost service. Some of those bottled fruits would kill old man Goepel himself, if he dared to eat them. The potatoes are perishable, and can neither be used nor sold. When we pass to the dry goods and clothing departments we find still larger amount of incongruous and useless articles. Great boxes of hats, caps and secondhand clothing. So much of this stuff is so utterly useless that we must laugh at the donors lack of knowledge of our wants, but when we think of the generous spirit which prompted these liberal donations, we feel more like crying

DesOlatiOn in Minnesota.

Despatches and letters from several places on the western border of Minnesota, report prairie fires of con- siderable extent. The most serious one is on the Pomme De Ferre River, 30 miles from Benson, Swift County, where the fire started on Sunday in an unexplained manner, but probably from the careless ness of some hunter who had been out shooting along the river. The fire spread with great rapidity and swept down toward Benson at frightful rate, clearing everything in its track, and giving the residents of that town serious alarm. Many prosperous farms lay in the track of the flames, and they were swept of all ccmbustible material, many owners narrowly escaping death in their efforts to save property. The ground over which the fire spread is 30 miles square, and scarcely anything remains to show where the farms stood. All is black desolate area. Hundreds of farmers who a few days ago were well ,, to do are now destitute On all that territory scarcely a dollars worth oi property now remains. The farmers lost their horses, oxen, sheep, hay, wheat, wagons, farm machinery, barns, houses, granaries, and, in fact, every. thing but their lives. On Tuesday the fire swept to the east and south ot Benson, taking everything in its way and repeated the devastation wrought il the West. Details of the losses are wanting, news facilities being rare il the thinly-settIed country, but the aggregate must be enormous. The cause of the unusual destructiveness o the prairie fire is the rank growth of tn, prairie grass.

She was seri- ously wounded, and refused to believe that Gilman did not set the trap for her.
