TIE RuSSO.TURCAN WAR.

The Russians have lost about 100000 men
in 10 months the other material losses are
incalculable. The Ottaman Empire would
lose everything If the Russians pressed them
to the wall. But the English nation, with all
its love for Christianity, and its immense be-
novolence in the way of cheap Bibles for
those who cannot read them, would prefer
that British bayoncts aud ironclads, for The
sake Of trade, should uphold Moslem power
than see it suppressed But England is too
late. The case stands now as follows
The latest authentic advices from Con-
stantinople do not confirm the statement in
the special despatch from that city to the
Sandard that the Porte has received des-
patch to the effect that the preiminaries of
peace have been signed and that the Turkish
delegates and the Grand Duke Nicholas
would reach Adrianople on Saturday. The
Porte had no advice of tho conclusion Of an
srmistico, though orders were telegraphcd to
the Turkish plenipotentiares on Friday to
accept the rrelminaries of peace. The de-
lay causes apprehension that the armistice
may be accompanied by enerous conditions.
The Porte is now in the peculiar condition OF
having accepted terms of peace without
knowing on what conditions an armstice will
be granted An armisticc, if properly hand
led, must make the Russians more than
ever masters of the situation. They are al
liberty to fix, not only the line of demarca'
ton, but the time during which they may re.
main in possession Of the territory occupied
This will leave their hands free to settle de-
tails according to their own views, which, ii
the peace preliminaries, have given place tC
general principles, thus In the latte
with regard to Bulgaria, the future limits O
this province do not appear to have beer
specified, nor the degree to which autonom.
of Bulgaria or reforms in Bosnia and Here
govinia are to extend. The same seems to b.
the case with regard to an increase of terrific
ry for Montenegro.
The cession of Roumanian Bessarabia il
not mentioned, and the question Of the Dar
danelles is reserved. Nor is anything sal,
about march into or through Constantine
pie, which seems rather to be matter con
nected with the suspension Of arms. Mean
time the Russians, Servians, Roumanians an,
Montenegrins are pushing military operation
with great vigor about Widdin, Prisrend
Lake Scutari and Silistria, and in the Mart
"a Valley east of Adrianople. From all thes
points war bulletins are received, showing nj
abatement of the offensive operations by tn,

FLIGHT OF REPRESENTATIVE BULLARD.
The citizens of Harrisburg, members Of
the legislature and others, were not little
surprised to learn yesterday morning that
o. F. Bulard, the republican representa-
tive from Delaware county, who was ordered
by the, house of representatives on Tuesday,
to be remanded to, the Delaware county Jail
for an oifeAse already known to our readers
had made his escape from the seargant-at-
arms Of the house, Mr.. Gaines, in whose GUS
tody Bullard had been placed for several
weeks past. Mr.. Gaines last saw his man on
Tuesday nj light in the room of representative
s. S. Jones, of Luzerne. He had intended
to take Bullard to Delaware county yester-
day, and when he looked after his charge at
half past seven o'clock yesterday morning he
was almost dumfounded to learn that Bull
lard had quietly slipped out of the room nd
disappeared. Search was instituted at once
and in short time a clue was found from
which it was learned that Bulard had been
noticed purchasing . ticket at the Philadel-
phia and Reading depot for the $40 train
east, over the Lebanon Valley railroad for
Reading. The sergeant alarms telegraphed
to tine principal points in the state, giving
description of the fugitive, and the probabil-
ity is he will be captured before many days.
Bullard was ooniessedly guilty,-Oscar
Gaines, the sergesnt-at-arms, is not an ass,
and among them they let Bullard skip"

Are You Gaining

If you are gaining a little every day be
content. Are your expenses less than your
income, so that, though it be little, you are
yet constantly accumulating and growing
richer every day. Be content, for as con-
Germs money, you are doing well. Are you
gaining knowledge every day? Though it
be little, the aggregate of the accumulation,
where no day is permitted to pass without
adding something to the stock, will be sur
prising to yourself Solomon did not be-
come the wisest man in the world in min
ute. Little by little--never emitting to
learn something, even for single day-al-
ways reading, always studying little be.
tween the time of rising up in the morning
and lying down at night-this is the way to
accumulate full stoIehouse of knowledge.
Finally, are you daily gaining in character
Be not discouraged because it be little by
little. The best men fall short of what they
would wish to be. 1t is something, it is
much if you keep good resolutions better to-
day than you did yesterday, better this year
than you did last year. Strive to be perfect,
lot not to become downhearted so long al
you are approaching nearer aud nearer to
the high standard at which you aim. Little
by little fortunes are accumulated; little by
little character and reputation are achieved.

complished. 1t seems now, more than ever,
that much valuable time has been lost by
not taking up the old calendar and finishing
business that was already more than half
completed. Many bills that had advanced
to third reading on the old calendar are now
In the hands of committees and not yet re-
ported or are only on hrst reading on the
new calendar, and much time will be taken
up in going over the same points that were
30 thoroughly discussed last winter. Coun.
try members are beginning to see their mis-
take, but there is now no remedy.
Harrisburg ia full Of oil men just now, and
the excitement in reference to the Free Pipe
Line bill is on the increase. On Tuesday
evening the bill was reported in the Senate
with some important amendments providing
that the first line built 70 the sea board shal
have its terminus at Philadelphia, should
the bill become law. 1t was agreed that
the bill should come up on second reading
in the Senate to-day "wednesday at thre,
o'clock p. m. The vote this afternoon will
probably be fair test of its strength and it,
fate may be practically decided before this

MORE RASCALS COMING TO GRIEF.

Ever since the fraudulent counting in of
Hayes, evidence has been accumulating to
show the monstrous rascality of the scheme,
nor can We cease to wonder at the patience
Of the Democratic party which permitted it.
Tilden received popular majority of 25O,.
900, and the electoral votes of South Caroli-
ma, Florida and Louisiana, out of which he
was defrauded. Hayes was quick to admit
the Democratic successes in those States,
and yielded to the induction of the Demo.
cratic officials into Office, although their IL
tie was not so good as that of Chamberlain,
Packard, and others. Even staunch Repub.
licans now see the fraud by which their can
didate was seated.
Justice, however, is reaching out her arms
to punish the instruments of this great
crime, and at last has commenced operations
in Louisiana by arresting the late Returning
Board of that State. AS heretofore, the
criminals sought refuge in the New Orleans
Custom House. Speaking of the event, the
Philadelphia Ledger, a staid Republican
journal, says:
"Mr. Returning Board Wells, of Louisia-
ma, and his colleagues, are manifestly of the
opinion that modern custom house build
ing in New Orleans has the same efficacy as
sanctuary for fugitive offenders that a
church or other ecclesiastical edifice had in
feadal times in Europe. Summoned before
the State Courts they took refuge on Satur.
day in the Custom House to escape service
of process, a United States Marshal was
called to protect them, and he was backed
by sailors from revenue cutter. All this
was strictly according to regulation practice
in Louisiana, in former and quite recent
times, but the present incumbents of the
Federal offices in New Orleans should have
memories long and strong enough to recol-
lect that that the United States Government
weut out Of practice in that line nearly a
year ago. There was great hub-bub oyer
the matter for a few hours on Saturday, but
it was all quieted down by brief instruc-
tion from the Attorney General at Washing
ton to the United States marshal to stop all
interference with the process of State Courts.
While the affair lasted, there was a big
mountain of fuss, but the final issue was
very ridiculous little mouse"

The income tax case against Mr.. Tilden
has at last been brought before the Courts
and argument has been begun. The case is
likely to prove one Of interest and perhaps
Importance, on account of the questions
raised by demurrer. The claim of the Go
vernment is for taxes due in all the years
from 1862 to 1870, and amounts, with inter.
est, to about SljO, 900. f'ne demurrer to the
claim for the taxes for 1861 has been sus-
tained by Judge Blatchtord, and argument
on the other claims has been begun. Mr..
Tilden's council contends as to these claims,
that the act of the assessors, in fixing or ac-
cepting the amount of taxable income, par.
took of the character of judicial decision,
binding on the Government and not subject
to review. The attorneys for the Govern
ment hold, on the other hand, that the act
of the assessors was purely ministerial, and
that the errors made by them are open to
review in the Courts. The decision of this
disputed question may effect other claims be-
sides those made under the Income Tax
laws.

ties became cold and the eyes fixed and gas-
sy. There could be no doubt but that the
great change was about TO take place, and
the watcher calling the wife Of the dying
man, told her to prepare for the worst, which
he was affAd had come. Shrack's condition
betrayed no change until about O'Clock,
when at once the muscles became rigid, the
chin dropped, and the weeping wife was led
from the bed, on which was oil that remained
of her husband When the neighbors awoke
yesterday morning the band of Grape tied on
the door told the story that Shrack was dead
and the disconsolate wife was soon surround
ed by sympathizing friends. In the mean
time man was engaged to take charge Of
the body, the blinds were let down, and the
remains left in the silence and solitude Of the
room where the great change had taken
place. Shortly before clock the body was
uudresscd and the work of preparing it for
the habiments Of the grave begun. Sud-
denly as the body was being moved, some
thing which sounded like muff ed groan
was heard the eyes Of the supposed corpse
opened, the hands moved feebly and the dead
had come to life With yell the attend
ant rushed from the room and told his story
to the amazed auditors The weeping wife
and her friends and relatives crowded into
| the room and found that the man whom they
had mourned as dead was really risen again
as if from the grave. Restoratives were ap.
piled, physicians summoned, and before
noon Shrack was so far restored that he bid.
well to ultimately recover.
DR. Cantrell, who visited him shortly aftel
his delverance from death, says this singu
case is one of spasms of the heart. But the
most wonderful part Of this strange story i:
the experience of Shrack, as related by him
SELF 81 was" he says, "in heaven, and
had no wish to return. | cannot describ,
my ecstatc vsions-they were not of thi.
world. was, however, conscious that haC
one foot on earth and dimly aware of wha
was going on around me, but had no fea
that should be buried alive no wish bu
to pass the brief space which separated nj
from the world of which had seen the glo
ries." Shrack is quite an intelligent man
and tells of his wonderful experiences with
out hesitation. His family and friends are
however, re'icent on the subject, fearing tt
increase the already great excitement whicl
has been manifested in the immediate
vicinity of the house. The case, however
is one which, viewed either fiom medica
or a psychological standpoint, seems wei
worthy of further nv"sti Iaton by scientifi
men.
