Tt is stated that Russia will refuse
to evacuate Turkish territory in
Roumania or liberate the prisoner
of war until Shumla and Varna have
have been surrendered, the latter
being required by the treaty of San
Stefano, as well as former negotia-
tions at COnstantinople. The de-
mand for the surrender has been
abandoned, the matter now being
considered in the hands of the Con.
gress. The general opinion is that
none of the minor States will be ad-
mItted to the Congress, with the
possible exception of Greece. about
which reports are contradictory.
The statement comes from Paris
that Persia claims admission on the

Too Much Marrying.

There is young lady in the city
who says she has more parents and
step-parents living than any one she
ever heard. This is the way she
tells the story:
''You know papa aud mama never
could agree, and so finally they got
divorced. / don't say whose fault
it was. but mama really did behave
ugly sometimes, and even | could
not get along with her: So when
the separation came went TO live
with papa. Shortly afterwards ma
ma married again, and papa was not
long in following suit. / did not
like it very well at first, but my step.
mother turned out to be firstrate
and got to like her splendid. Then
papa seemed to get infatuated with
another woman that he got acquain-
ted with. and she wheedled around
him until she made trouble, and the
result was another divorce, and pa
pa soon married the woman that
made the trouble. When the Sec
ond separation took place. went
with my step mother, because low
ed her and because my services were
necessary to help take care of the
baby. Then what does she de but
go and get married. I declare I
never saw SO much marrying in my
life. 1t only happened little while
ago. and my new step-father-I sup

like it, aud / don't like it a bit. I
can't 90 back to mamma. because she
is mad with me for going with papa
in the first instance, and can't go
with papa because of that wheedling
woman, and I can't bear to stay
where I am. 1t is too bad that

June II, 1873.
To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette
There is nothing Of any great in

sorbiDg topic here. is the approach
ing contest for the medal to be
awarded at Jonesville, Va, to the
best oratien delivered by young men
between the ages of 16 and Is years,
on the fourth Of July next. Two
or three of ClaibOrne's aspiring
young men will enter the field, and
contend for the prize, and the young
men of the "OId Dominion" had
better look out. or they will let some
Of the Claiborne boys bear off the
prize. Two of them won prizes at
the Rose Hill High School during
the summer for excellence in decla-
nations.
Harvest is here and farmers are
busily engaged in cutting and tax
ing care of their wheat crops. which
are much better than was anticipated
a few weeks ago.
The candidates are moving around
lively, and Rose and Deaderiek stock
has an upward tendency. Henry

Horrible Affair at a RefOrmatery.

We are informed that the most horrible
discoveries have been made in the Jamaica
Reformatory for Native Boys, which is situ-
ated on hill about nine miles from Kings
ton, Some time ago, under the governor
ship of Sir William Grey, a Baptist clergy
man was appointed Superintendent of the
Reformatory, with salary of e400 a year,
besides house and other perquisites. But
these appear not to have been sufficient for
the reverend gentleman, who applied the
food allotted for the four hundred poor bows
under his charge to fattening pigs for the
market. Meanwhile the little wretches
were starved and growing desperate-they
actually fought with the pigs for the food
thrown to them. The miserable creatures
were neglected in every possible way. A
nasty insect, called a tick well known to
every traveller in the tropics, burrowed into
their feet, and as the doctor had to look af.
ter his private patients, the wounds which,
! if examined in time would have been trh-
ing, became so serious that amputation oi
toes or feet were necessary in no less than
eighty cases. Starved and neglected, the
lads became unruly, The offenders were
then shackled together in pairs and con
signed to the cells, where some were forgot
ten for three days and left without food OF
drink. All this at last came to light by mer,
accident. The boys were entrusted Will

Pope Plus Successor.

The new pope was born at Carpenetto in
the diocese of ATagul, on March 2, 1910,
and is Sixty-eight years of age. He was ere
ated Cardinal on December 10, 1858. He is
archbishop of Perouse and chamberlain of
the pope, He was to have been created car
dinal at the request of Protestant, King
Leopold |, of Belgium, to whom he had been
sent as Nuncio by Gregory XVI: but on the
death Of the latter, Plus TX, yielding to An
! tonelli, allowed seven years to elapse before
appointing him. OF high intellect, of a
well tlied and energetic nature his eminence
has made not only an excellent bishop but ha,
realized the type of perfect cardinal. As al
administrator he managed to clear BeneventC
Of smuggling and brigandage, as well as of the
underhand intrigues of the party of the no
bility. As man Of intelligence he does no
regard with such pessimist eye as his col
leagues the reciprocal sensations of the churcl
and society. lie has evidently found solu
tion in his own mind for existing difficultie,
His eminence is tall and thin. His feature
have an arstocratic stamp, and are character
zed by great fnesse. He has a resen
blance at once to Noltaire and Richelieu. TIL
voice strikes one disagreeably at first, it is S
nasal in its tones, but one soon gets accu:
toned to this peculiarity, owing to its fulne.
and resonance. Although simple in manner

who carries himself with the most ponti6c
p majesty, resembling in this Plus TX, who,
