PEACE OR WAR.

The ever-chsnging war clouds of the
East which have shown signs recently OF
parting and breaking away, seem to be
gathering blackness again. The rumor that
BISMARCK has abandoned the field of medi-
alton in despair of accomplishing anything
is denied and yet the clouds grow darker
and darker. Great Britain holds position
in the Sea of MarmOra, and the Russians
are camped round about ConstantinOple
Neither seems disposed to recede from the
positions assumed. While these Powers
confront each other with such sternness OF
mien, Europe has no guarantee of peace
The attitude sustained by them appears to
be equally sullen and determined. No
signs of relenting on either side. No move
ment in any direction that gives promise OF
unravcling this complicated national snarl
Some of the Eastern Powers are playing
circus in the way of mediation and negotia-
ton, but it amounts to nothing beyond a
dumb show. 1t may engage public atten-
ton, but it promises to accomplish no sub
stantial results.
In the meantime, the Grand Duke NiCHO-
LAS has returned to st. Petersburg and
General TODLEBEN, the hero of the Crmean
war has assumed command Of the Russo
Turko army. This, however, indicates
nothing except that the Grand Duke desired
relief and recuperation, and the Nihilists OF
his country need looking after in person.
General TODLEBES is said to be greatly the
superior of the Grand Duke, either in the
council or the field. Ii negotiations are to
be opened with England he is much wiser,
more sagaciOus, and more discreet than his
superior, and if there is to be active demon
stratiOns of a warlike character between
these powers General TODLEBES has eour-
age, sagacity, and experience in an eminent
degree,
10 far as Russian interests are concerned
this change of commanders is greatly in favor
Of that cause. The change of command
took place yesterday, and the Grand Duke

THE insidious special" from this point to
the New York Herald, is attempting to stir
up areyolt against what he calls CAMERON
ISM in Pennsylvania. He speaks of " the
" tion men as among the revolters. This
is simple nonsense, for CAMERoNIsM, II
such a thing exists in the Keystone State
is composed OF the young Republicans a.
well as old ones, with progressive and ag.
gressive ideas. In short, the secret Of the
success Of the CAMERoNs is disclosed in the
fact that they have never antagonized the
aspirations of young men of the party, moi
wholly ignored the advice of progressive
old ones.

IT affords us unalloyed satisfaction to
know that Congress has yielded to the power

the school bill, thus providing against the
closing Of the schools The measure passed
both Houses yesterday, and will be ap,

sosses at the Capital, will join with us in
our demand for commission to investigate

Florida, and South Carolina, we will will
ingly test the relative strength of influence

that the Republicans would not have to be
driven intoline on this proposition. But the
Democracy can neither be coaxed nor driven

posed, of the rascalities corruption, assas-
sinations and proscriptive violence that pre-

A Sandwich Island Princess.

A San Francisco paper thus describes
the party of blue -bloods from the Sand
witch Islands who have recently arrived
in that city on brief visit. The chief
members of the party are Gov. Dominis
of Oohu and his wife, Princess Lilinoka-
iani, heiress to the throne of the Islands,
and Mrs. G. b. Wilson, half-blood ma
tive. The ladies, all of whom are quite
young, have never before been away
from the Islands. Mrs. Dominis and
the princess are excellent types of the
beauty of the patrician classes of the
Islands, which has been praised by all
travellers thereto. They have the olive
complexion, large, lustrous eyes, black,
waving hair, and symmetrically-devel-
oped figures of the original people of
the Islands. Mrs. Wilson is more of
the type of an American lady. All were
costumed in as correctly late fashion
as any of the San Francisco ladies who
throng Kearney street of a Saturday at
ternoon. Tney all speak English as
perfectly and fuently as the great ma
jority of American young ladies who
have duly graduated from fashionable
and emotional finishing schools, and a
vivacity, which is all their own, makes
an hours conversation with them a
pleasure to be long remembered. The
Governor comes here upon no diplo-
matte or international business whatever,
but solely for the benefit of his wife's
health, and in pursuance of the advice
of her physicians. The visit of the par
ty will be confined to California exclu-
sively. The ladies would like to make
the overland trip, but as the Hawaiian
Legislature will meet in May, it will be
necessary for the Governor to return
early in that month.

A Beautiful HOuse-PIant.

The Gala lily, roots of which may be
procured of any florist, is one of the
finest plants for house growing, when
properly treated. The most practical
method is to procure an earthern jar
suitably decorated on the outside, if de-
sired, by painting or FASTING on of frieze
or flower pictures, or by a paper open
work covering. In this place rich mold
some five or six inches deep, and in this
set the Gala plant. Now put on the
top of this mold a layer of clean, coarse
sand, about two inches deep, and on the
top of this some small pebbles. Then
fill the jar with water and replace as
evaporated, so as to always have the
water several inches deep above the peb
bles. Place in Il warm and sunny win
dow, and the plant will throw up large,
luxuriant leaves, to be followed by the
magnificent bloom. What is still bet
ter, the flower-Stalks will he sent up i'm
succession, SO as to afford nearly con-
'inuous series of flowers A few min
nows introduced into the water will
usually thrive without further care, and
afford pleasing study.-The h,depenl-

THE EUROPEAN CRISIS,

Dispatches of the 18th state: In con-
sequence of Russian remonstrances the Porte
has promised the immediate evacuation of
Varna and Shumla. 1t is stated that Dervish
Pasha declares he can not evacuate
Batoum. The insurrection in Thessaly
is almost overwhelmed by large forces
Of Turks sent from Thrace and
Bulgaria. In Epirus it completely hangs
fire, and can only be revived by considerable
efforts Of Greek synpathizers. The Cretans
are still able to hold their own, but it is
feared that Turkish achievements will be
sent to the island. The Greeks are much dis
couraged. They believe Russia is intriguing
against them.
A special from Vienna, 10th, says that
the Grand Duke Nicholas returns to st. Pc
tersburg, and that General ToIleben goes to
San Stefano to assume chief command. This
is considered conciiaIory step. Thu Ser
Wan Government has decided to remain
neutral under all circumstances.
1t was made known on the 18th that
England had ordered the immediate trans
fer from India to Malta Of about 1000 ma
