A CORRESPONDENT at Vienna says it
y. confirmed that Russia has not vet sent a
rnal answer to England. The answer is de.
layed pending the efforts which Russia is
making with the approval of Germany to
Wean Austria from her last idea of an Eng
lish alliance
A BERLIN correspondent says that if
the congress does not meet Germany will
revert to her former position of a friendly
Iooker.on, without positively approving
Russia's doings.
The British cabinet requires declara
ton from Russia that the communication
OF the instrument of peace to the powers Is
to be equivalent to its formal presentation
TO the congress. The Russian cabinet, how
ever, considers that by making the above
mentioned communication it fulfils its inter-
national duties, and is less inclined to agree
to special presentation to the congress, in
asmuch as by making known all the condi-
tions of peace it afforded each power the op-
portunity of making the separate provisions
of the treaty the subject of European deib-
Grafton. An understanding upon this point
has not yet been reached. Until it is de-
cided the fate of the congress is uncertain.
A DISPATCH from VIOLA says the vii
lagos of Olympus, Repsard, Caria and Sito-
chori have been sacked and burned by the
Turks. Women, children and old men were
massacred, except some who escaped to the
mountains, which are still covered with
snow. Unless a ship is sent to relieve them
they will probably perish from cold and
hunger.
ACCORDING to the treaty of San Ste
fano the occupation of European Turkey,
except Bulgaria, must be completed three
months after definite peace, and portion
of the Russian troops may embark on the
Black Sea and Sea of Marmora. Russia has
thus insured herself the right, or at any
rate the possibility, of having a portion of
her troops always around Constantinople
until the final settlement is signed.
THE Russians have in the Bosphorus
two regularly fitted torpedo ships, carrying
six torpedo boats.
The semi-official PoItische Correspond
enz of Vienna, prints ST. Petersburg letter
which declares that England's claims have
produced so bad an impression in Russia
that meeting of the congress is doubtful.
Nevertheless it is believed at Vienna and
Berlin that the congress will meet on the
I'd of April
A VIENNA dispatch says that Russia
has declared her readiness to make conces-
sions relative to the boundaries of Bulgaria,
and all misunderstanding between the three
emperors is removed.
A DISPATCH from Vienna, dated the
10Th inst, says that the deadlock between
Russia and England is complete. Austria
and Germany are altogether opposed to
England's demand. Austria has been con-
fdently informed of the conditions of peace,
and onsiders them on the whole moderate,
but susceptible of further notifications at
the congress.
SAILING ships, tugs and lighters pass
up and down the Danube. The torpedoes

A Curious Suit.

A church congregation in Ohio has
been sued for compelling a mans wife
and children to desert him. About three
years ago James Leichty, member of
the Mennonite church at Bryan, was ex-
communited, and his wife and children
were directed TO leave him. This they
did, although he begged them to remain.
A strong church influence was brought
to bear upon the wife, and she refused to
live with her husband, dreading the same
ban, which, according to their creed,
whould have consigned her soul to ever
lasting damnation. Mr.. Leichty brought
suit against the chruch authorities for
compelling his wife to leave his bed and
board, without his fault or consent, and
demanded $4,000 damages. The case
was on trial for nearly week, and on
Tuesday the jury returned verdict of
81, 500 for the plaintiff.

Wild Love and its Result.
From the st. Louis Post.


Miss Bella Smith spent her infancy
and early womanhood at Louisville,
KY. Just prior to the dawning of mature
age Miss Smith happened into an ice
cream parlor to refresh tortured nature.
On the wall was hung the picture of a

The effect was thrilling. Miss Smith $

had beheld it. Forty-eight hours from
the first overwhelming realization of the
existence of her preordained better half
Miss Smith had written to the original
of the picture at Dallas and was speeding
thither. The original of the picture de-
clined her. Poor woman! Her vision
was of a Romeo; its realization was q
seedy, tobacco-chewing man; the result
of her wooing, rejection, and its conse-
quence trial by court and banish-
ment to an insane asylum by jury.
