End Of the Eastern " ar-Terms Agreed Upon

The latest news is that the Eastern war be-
tween Turkey and Russia is virtually ended,
the Russian terms of peace having been ac-
cepted by the Porte. The conditions are,
Russian war vessels to have free passage of
the Dardanelles; Turkey to pay Russia $780,,
100000 war indemnity, and Russia to hold
Armenia as a guarantee, until the indemnity
is paid; Servia and Roumania TO be free;
Montenegro to receive Antivari, Nicsics, Spuz
and a portion of territory bordering on lake
Scrutari; Bulgaria to have Christian gov
ernor, to be appointed by the Porte, but to
be approved by Russia; the peace to be signed
at Constantinople by the Grand Duke Nicho-
las, and the Russian army to embark for Rus
STA from that city. England's buster was of
no account. The war was over before she
got ready to act. Parliament may look after
her Eastern interests, but not with force and
arms. Orders were issued to the English
feet TO enter the Dardanelles, but have since
been countermanded, as Turkey refused the
passage of the feet except as her ally. Rus.
STA has clearly outwitted England, and now
she has arranged to place her paws on kars,
Bayazid, Batoum, and Abraham, She will
never take them off unless forced, and who
will force her?

HNHAT indulgence in fruits and vegetables

The Stroll family, of this county, is probably
the largest family in the United States The
head of the house is Nicholas Stroll, Penn
sylvania German, now about 76 years old .
By three wives he has had 80 children, q of
whom are living. His first wife presented
him with 8, his second with II, and his third
with IL. The youngest child is now years
old and was born when its father was 70
years old. Ofthe - children 10 are married,
and their families average about 8 children.
Mr.. Joel Stroll, one of the we'll. known far
mers in the lower end aud child of his father S
first wife, has II children, and he is not an
old man. He is the father of two pairs of
twins, a distinction which his father, Mr..
Nicholas Stroll, never attained. If the fam
lilies should gather together there would be
over 200 persons. They nearly a II reside in
this county. Old Mr.. Stroll is still hearty,
and bids fair to live many years.

4 S an elegant hair dressing stands Par
"A ker's Hair Balsam, deservedly popular
for the beautiful hair it produces, and its
healthful, cleansing and healing properties.
Commencing at the roots, it promotes a lux
uriant growth of young hair, and unfailingly
restores gray or faded hair to its original
youthful color, giving a soft, rich and lustrous
appearance of great beauty. 1t is pleasantly
cooling to the scalp, cleanses it from Dandruff,
cures itching and humors, and stops falling of
the hair. 1t is perfectly harmless, exquisitely
perfumed, never soils the skin or gums the
hair, and pleases everybody by its many ex-
cellent and attractive qualities. Buy bottle
from your druggist, Joseph B. Boyle, or A.
II. Huber, and test its merits. ian 10

COMPTROLLER WooLFoRp AND THE COUNTY
SCHOOL CoNMIssroxERs.-Th Association of
County School Commissioners, about one
hundred in number, representing every county
IN the State, met at Annapolis on Wednesday.
The meeting was held in pursuance of call
OF the president, Rev. Samuel Cornelius, of
Calvert. They have a compiled statement
from the Comptroller's report in accordance
with the decision of the Anne Arundel Cir
cult Court, showing that $500, 900 IS now due
by the State TO the school fund. They were
there to take steps to recover the money.

The Present WIxrRR.-''You thought |
wasn't coming" is the wayin which HdTpeg-'s
Bazar introduces an illustration of winter,
wrapped in furs and coming down the slide
with legs outstretched like Mr.. Pickwick's,
of jovial memory. And there is a good deal
that is Pickwickian about the old fellows
buster this year. For day of sharp, cutting
wind and falling mercury, is followed by such
soft, spring sunshine, that it is nearly out of
the question to keep up the fiction of cold
snap for more than twenty four hours at a
time. He may cut and come again, he may
come TO stay longer, but let us be thankful
that January's face is no more frowning than
Defenders, and that the invalid and the
poorly provided for have so much of the win
ter behind them. From Canada come ac-
counts that there has been no such winter for
thirty years, and if the fancy be correct that
there is an equation in these things, and there
is always the same amount of heat through
out the year, balancing itselfin what Dr. Tyn-
dial calls ''the constant sum of power in ma
ture, the winters gain in comfort will be the
summers loss only in what can well be spared.
