A Vienna dispatch says the most essential
points in the defnitiye treaty between
Russia and Turkey-namely, the war in
demnity and time for withdrawal of Russian
troops are still unsettled. Fears are ex.
pressed in diplomatic circles hat the East
ern Roumelian Commission will encounter
great obstacles from Russia, the Porte and
Bulgarian inhabitants. Russia is resolved
to maintain the present administration
until her troops have evacuated the
province. The Porte insists on assuming
the financial administration, subject only
to the supervision of the Commission, and
the Bulgarians continue agitation in favor
Of annexation to Bulgaria.
The intended withdrawal of the British
feet from the vicinity of Gallipcli has been
abandoned in consequence of the recent
movements of the Russians. Bessarabia
was surrendered to Russia Monday. There
is an extensive Bulgarian insurrection on
the East Roumelian frontier. Sir Stafford
Northcote, Chancellor of the Exchequer,
speaking at Northampton, admitted that
he was not able to say that he was sure there
would not be a renewal of war. 1t was i'm.
possible to ignore the fact, he said, that
difficulties were to be raised against the ex-
ecution of certain parts of the Treaty of
Berlin.

UnIrorm RaiIroad Repor,..

A convention of railroad officials and rail-
road commissioner of various States is to
convene at Columbus, Ohio, November II.
The object of the convention is to act upon
the suggestion of Theophilus French, Audi
tor of the new Government Railroad Bureau,
that a uniform system of reports be adopted
throughout the country. Under the new
law forty-one railroads are required to re-
port to Auditor French. He will require
these reports to be made uniform, and has
already drafted questions and a general
form of report, which he will present at the
general convention. Some of the trunk
railroads now run through five different
States, and are required to prepare as many
different kinds OF reports to the State au.
thorities.

Democratic majority.

Hon. John F. House, Democratic nominee
for the Sixth Congressional District of
Tennessee, said in a recent speech: ain
the next contest between the two great
parties they will divide upon government
policy, and without sectional animosity.
Sectional .hatred will be eliminated from
the contest. So far as the South
is concerned, l am certain. that
such will be the case. 1 can not, fellow
citiz ms, find it in my heart TO indulge in
feelings of malice toward the people of the
North. When / witness their magnanimous
and generous conduct toward the Southern
people, l feel like pulling off Lily hat and
standing uncovered in their presence. o,
grander than the victory of the Appomattox
is the victory won by the people of the
North in their noble and generous contri-
buttons to the stricken and suffering
South. Upon that fatal field the South
surrendered her sword. Within the shadow
of the dark wing of the pestilence, beside
the new made graves of her heroic sons and
daughters, with bowed head and fearful
eyes she extends her hand and surrenders
her heart to the generous and magnanimous
North. Gods W haud has bridged the
bloody chasm. Let not the ambition Of
man seek to reopen the wounds, and to re-
kindle the embers of sectional strife. Let
us go into this great contest in
1880 without any of these elements
of sectional bitterness. OF course
we will be divided as to questions of gov
Ornamental policy, but with that eliment
eliminated from the contest, the representa-
tives of the South can stand upon the floor
of Congress as the peer of any from the
Northern States, and can look to the

ThOuEn shaking Like an Aspen Leai
With the chills and fever, the victim of
malaria may still recover by using the cele-
brated specific, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which not only breaks up the most aggra-
waited attacks, but prevents their recurrence.
1t is infinitely preferable to quinine, not
only because it does the business far more
thoroughly, but also on account of its per-
feet wholesomeness and invigorating action
upon the entire system. Testimony is con.
current, positive and ample showing the de-
cisive natur of its effects, and that it is no
mere palliative. Physicians concede its ex-
cellence, and there is a constant influx of
communications from persons in every class
of society avouching its merits, and bearing
witness to its superiority over other RENE
dies for malarial disease. 1t is especially
popular throughout the West, wherever
fever and ague prevails, as it does in many
of the fairest and most fertile portions OF
that vast region.

Arc Eat p. HeaIthy,

Why are fat people always complaining?
asks some one who entertains the popular
though %erroneous notion that health is
synonymous with fat Fat people complain
because they are diseased. Obesity is an
abnormal condition of the system, in which
the saccharine and oleaginous elements of
the food are assimilated to the partial ex-
producing elements. In proof of this, it is
only necessary to assert the well-known fact
that excessively fat people are never strong,
and seldom distinguishedfo for mental powers
or activity. Besides, they are the easy prey
of acute and epidemic diseases, and they
are the frequent victims of govt, heart dis
ease, and apoplexy. Allan's Anti-Fat is the
only known remedy for this disease. 1t
contains no acid, is absolutely harmless, and
is warranted to remedy the most confirmed
case of obesity, or corpulency.

A Man Torn 10 Pieces by a Railroad
Train.

A special to the Gazette from Circleville,
says: Early Saturday morning search made
on the M~uskingum Valley Railroad track for
the remains of a man who was fonnd in the
river bridge late Friday night. The search
resulted in sickening discoveries. The man
had been caught by his foot in a cattle
guard east of the railway station, and
carried on to the river bridge, where the
body was found by the bridge Waterman.
At the station where the cars stopped a
copious stream of blood is traceable.
At the cattle guard the mans head was
found with a CHASTITY hole in the middle of
the forehead, and the membranes of the
neck coming down through a fringe of
whiskers under the chin. For fifty yards
on toward town were scat cred his vitals
and %eDtrails and shreds of his clothing.
Everything that could he found was gath
cred up, and still one arm is missing, and
brought to Kings undertaking establish
ment, where it was placed in as good order

that he comes to the border solely to re-
press Indian and other raids into American
territory. Our authorities are apprehen-
sive that the quartering of these regular
troops among the rather lawless population
of the territory adjoining the border may
lead to a revolution and rising that will
drive out these troops, and cause such gen.
eral disorder IN both sides of the line as to
compel our forces to interfere.

The Tea Trade.

A special to the Cincinnati Gazette of o.
tober "a says: Some Baltimore tea mer-
chants to-day called upon the Chinese En-
bassador and discussed the question of
commercial relations with China with
special relation to the tea trade Thisisthe
first reception given by the Chinese to
civilians. The tea merchants requested the
Chinese ambassador to discourage the ex.
portation of teas which were artifcially
colored, and 10 send teas only in natural
condition, as they are used in China. The
Minister showed his shrewdness by inform
ing the delegation that Chinese merchants
would be glad to export teas in the natural
condition, as it cost them much less, and
that arti6cially coiored teas would
not be exported a day longer than
there was a demand for them. A
sample of tea brought from China
by the embassy for its own use was brought
in. The Minister said that the various
brands of tea sold in America and Europe
wers unknown to and unused by the tea
consumer in China. They were especially
prepared by Chinese tea exporters for the
foreign markets, were colored by chem.
icals, and this process, together with the pc.
culiar methods of putting up teas for
foreign markets, not only rendered it less
palatable and beneficial, but more expen'
sive. He expressed the opinion that il
boards of trade in New York and China
were to make known the fact that pure teas
were not only more palatable, but less ex
p~ensive, it would be a benefit to both the
producer and consumer. There is, said he
really but one kind of tea plant
and from this both green and black
teas are produced. The equivalent:
for the two terms "green and black" dc
not signify to Chinese the color of tea, but
have reference to the period of gathering
"Green" indicating, not "green" color
but unripeness. Yung Wing, in the course
o fhis speech, made the important admission
that he was confident that tea could b.
successfully cultivated in certain portions
of the United States, but that Chinese labol
would be necessary to successfully do this
and he added that Cinnamon are not dis
posed to emigrate in great numbers to thi
country in view of pending prejudice ant
agitation against them i'll California.

Attempted wife Murder and suicide.

A special to the Commercial, from Mari
eta, dated October %, says: Our city is
profoundly stirred over a domestic tragedy
that took place here last night. The
circumstances are substantially as follows /:
Some four or five years ago Henry Tyler
and Dorcas Morris were united in mar
riage, and took up their abode in this city,
where they continued to reside until about
six months ago, when she left him, giving
as the cause that he abused her and
did nothing for her support.
She shortly afterwards went to Chillicothe
where she remained until a day or two ago
when she came back and went to her
fathers, who resides some twelve miles
above here on the Muskingum River. Tyler
procured a horse from a livery stable here
and rode out to where she was staying. Go
ing into the house he said, "Dor
cas-, are you going to come back
and live with me?" "If you will treat
me right and support me properly I will, y
was her answer. Without another word he
drew a revolver and fred three shots al
her, two of them taking effect in the head
and one striking her hand as she threw i
up. %Supposing he had killed her, hi
hastily mounted his horse ami rapidly re
turned to the city, telling his people will
whom he lived that he had killed his wife
and if any officer attempted to arrest him h,
would kill him also, and then Kill
himself. Shortly after, an officer ap
peared ON the scene, but Tyler, witt
revolver in hand. warned him Of
or he would shoot him. The officer left
but returned shortly with assistance, ant
just as he was entering heard a shot, ant
upon going in found Tyler stretched upoI
a bed, bleeding ~profusely from a pisto
wound in his right temple. He lived abou
an hour after firing this fatal shot, but re
manned unconscious. He left a letter say
ing that be loved his wife, but killed her be
cause she would not live with him. Jeal
ousy was undoubtedly the cause of this act
From latest reports it is thought Mrs. lyle
may recover.
