At The Church Fairs.

No more the festive oyster swims
His lonely round in church fair stews;
Yet still the yeung mans optic dims
At dainties he may not refuse.
The luscious fruits of spring are here,
And savory odors fill the air;
While strawberries and cream appear,
With shortcake, on the bill of fare.
The impecunious YOUTH distressed
At prices far beyond his means,
His sweetheart eyes with vague unrest,
And suffers pain mid festive scenes.

THE EASTERN QUESTION.

Affairs in the East are still in great I'M
certainty. Both parties continue to make
vigorous war preparations. The Russian
army is to be moved up ten and a half
miles nearer to Constantinople, and trains
of ammunition are passing to the Danube.
A concentration of seven thousand armed
Musselmen at Lazisturn. had compelled
the Russians to retreat. They are throw
ing up entertainments at San Stefano, and
arming with Krupp guns. The attitude
of Austria at present, however, seems ia
vorable to the St. Petersburg negotiations,
but kilograms from St. Petersburg repre-
sent the Emperor as holding out for war
and not disposed to yield single point to
England.
Rev. Florence Mccarthy, who was pas
tor of the Baptist Church in Lexington
before the war, and several times preach
ed in Staunton. but who year ago was
elected from hig church in Chicago on &C
count of gross language, and then pro-
claimed himself an atheist, has been again
converted to Christianity, and few days
ago was received on probation in the Cen
tenary M. 3, Church, Chicago, where he
had been for three months past worship
per, and leader in prayer. He states that
all his doubts of Gospel truth and doctrine
have been removed by earnest study.

THE FISHERY AWARD.
American Objections Pressed upon
the British Government.
The Matter Assuming a Serious
Aspect.

NEW YORK, Oct. GA London letter of
Oct. II reports that the British Foreign Minis
ter, Lord Salisbury, has been invited by the
American government to consider seriously
the very decided objections which it is disposed
10 make to the payment of the Halifax award
in the new circumstances created for both gov
ernments by the recent report of Capt. Sullivan
OF the British ship Sirius, who was sent by the
British government to investigate the events of
January, 1873, when numbrr of American
fishermen were absolutely driven away from
their stations on the Newfoundland coast. their
fishing tackle destroyed and business broken
up. Capt. sullivan reported that this outrage
was justified by the local law of Newfoundland,
prohibiting Sunday fishing, and the Marquis OF
Salisbury, it seems, accepted this report as en-
Dodylng the government views, and so inform
ed the U nited States. The American govern
ment it is said, then informed Salisbury that
the question as to whether American fisher
men, pursuing their business under the terms
OF solemn treaty, are liable to violence at the
hands of petty local authorities for infringing
local regulations not embraced in the treaty, is
too important to be settled by the British gov
ernmeLt for tself upon the report of naval
officer. AS the time fixed under the Halifax
award for paying over the money ordered by
that award will expire on the 9th of Novem-
Der, it Is obvious that this matter must be
sharply and Immediately pressed upon the at
tention of Her Majesty's government by the
United States government. To pay over the
money without effectnally breaking down the
construction of Lord Salisbury as to those Of
fences will put the United States into false
position and seriously embarrass their diplo.
matte action, OF course refusal on the part
of the United States to pay over this money
will embroil for time at least the relations Of
the Dominion both with England and the
United States AT all events the situation has
become decidedly uncomfortable within the
past few days, and the correspondence on the
subject between the two governments has as
sumed a serious character.

KING ALFONSO.
The Attempt on His Life at WI adrid-
His Assailant Arraigued-He Says He
Intended 10 Kill His Sovereign


Intended 10 Kill His Sovereign.
NEW YORK, Oct. ga Paris special to the
Telegram today says: "Telegraphic dispatches
received this morning from the Spanish capital
state, with reference to the attempted assassi-
nation yesterday of the King while driving in
the Sale Mayer toward the Puerta. del Sol, that
the most intense popular excitement still reigps
in Madrid. Much admiration is expressed for
the King on account of the great GOODNESS and
courage he displayed. Shortly after his arrival
at home, at the palace, he held court recep-
tiop, when CONGRATULATIONS were poured in up
on him on all hands on account of his miracul-
GUS escape from assasslnat on. His Majesty,
however, stated that the matter was not Of
really serious import, and if he had been re-
moved from the midst of his people Spain
would have found perhaps worthier ruler
than he The reception was of the most cor
has hitherto been characteristic of receptions
ia this city. If the prison were not well guard
ed in which Juan Moncase, the would. be-assas-
sin, is confined, there is but little doubt that
the Madridnese would take the law into their
own hands and execute the miscreant, giving
him but scanty time to make his shrift. The
prisoner on his arraignment gave his name as
Jdan Moncase and declared that his purpose
was to kill the King
A council of ministers have held protracted
His Majssty's life. What the result of their
deliberations is L have not yet heard. 1t is
reported, however, that the King has sent
communication requesting that the assassin
shall not be executed, but that his sentence
shall be Commuted to Imprisonment for q long
term of years. 1t is probable, however, that
the Cabinet will assure the King that to crush
out the assassins of the Moncase type it would
be preferable that he be executed, for it would
act as salutary lesson to Socialists, CommuE-
lists and InternatiOnalists.

Taxation of Bank Capital.
Attorney Generals Devens's opinion that the
banks are authorized to deduct the premium
paid for bonds in reporting their taxable prop
erty. is not final as to the treasury. Officials
Of the treasury think that the market quo alton
of the bonds on the day of assessment is the
most that the construction of the law can be
made to bear as to their taxable value. Pend
ing this discussion the treasurer decides that
the only way for the banks to recover sums
paid into the treasury through his assessment
is by suit against the government in the court

the amount is not available until approved by
Congress, and as the government has the right

Democratic BuIIdozing in Il. xns.

AUSTIN, Oct ga state of anarchy is
reported in Montgomery county. caused, as it
is alleged, by the Democrats bulldozing the
Greenbackers and all other opposition. Ever
since the-war the county has been ruled by
white Republicans, the negroes being in a
majority. This year the Democrats are bound
to gain the ascendency, and their old oprosi-
ton is headed by one Rentfro who is
Republican but is on Greenback ticket.
Rentfro made speeches threatening to raise a
negro mob and burn the county seat For this
he was made to leave the county, and his
strikers have since made threats of burning
the court house. To prevent this citizens
protective committee was organized and armed
to prote ct the court house. Last week the
Greenback candidate for the legislature
attempted to speak in Montgomery. The
citizens committee requested them to desist, it
being the Democratic day. Seeing the num-
Der of armed men around, the speaker quietly
left the town and reported at Houston that
they had been driven from the town, The
Deputy United States Marshal telegraphed
