LONDON, Nov. 80, 1878.
Count Schouvalofi, Russian Ambass
dor to England, had a long conference
with Lord Salisbury, the British Minis
ter of Foreign Affairs, on Thursday at
the Foreign Office, prior TO the meeting
of the cabinet Council. The result of
Count Schouvalofi's interview'with the
Marvuis of Salisbury is reported as
tollyws The Marquis stated explicit
ly to the Russian Ambassador that
Great Britain would not permit on any
account the 81 ghtest infringement of or
deviation from the Berlin Treaty, nor any
prolongation of the time of the Russian
evaculion of Bulgaria, nor any interme-
diary interference in the Afghan affair.
The Marquis of Salisbury further express
ed his surprise that so able statesman as
Count Schouvalof should be engaged in
such useless endeavor. Count Schouva-
loff, seeing that his mission has entirely
failed, will probably leave London at an
early day.

A Complicated Case mt Law.

A most complicated and curious case
of law was that which was told rep.
resentative of the press yesterday, by a
we'll known lawyer, who is one of the
attorneys for the parties in question,
which for genuine entanglement beats
anything heard of for some time. II
appears that person who may be
called "A had become so hOpelessly
in debt that he was obliged to give two
mortgages to two different persons
upon his household effects, and but a
short time alter giving the mortgages
he went into bankruptcy, but just be-
fore filing his petition be took part of
his mortgaged property, a piano, and
sold it to Mr.. Co Mr.. 3D. the first
mortgage, then replevied the piano,
as he had mortgage upon the whole
property, and did not care to let the
main part be taken and sold. The wife
of the purchaser of the piano then re-
plevied it from the second mortgage,
on the ground that she had bought the
piano and not her husband. The Sec
Ond mortgage then commenced an
action against all parties who have an
Interest in the complication against the
appointment of a receiver, who would
take all of the property into his posses
sion, piano included, thus making in
fact three actions between the same
parties for the same piece of furniture.
All parties are awaiting developments
with deal of interest, as one of the
actions has been tried b, fore u justice
and appealed from the verdict to the
Common Pleas Court, so that, in real
ity, all three are yet to come before
proper judges.

The EOllies of Women.

So much has been written on the
subject of fashionable women that it is
refreshing at times to come across a
sensible answer to the charges so con-
tinuously brought. The New York
Times, in a recent article, covers the
ground pretty thoroughly. HOmilies
are carelessly preached on the innumer-
able follies of fashionable women who
have leisure aud means to do as they
| like. One of the cOmmOnest charges
against them is that, having no occu
patton, they waste their time, spend
| their money for mere adOrnment and
vain show, and are often led into mis-
chief through idleness and morbid love
of excitement. Persons who print this
sort of stuff and those who believe it
are either malicious or ignorant-.mOre
ignorant, probably, than malicious, as
most circulators of untruth are apt to
be. They who are at all acquainted
with the subject know that what is
understood as the fashionable woman
is usually the reverse of such pre5enta-
tion. So far far from being lille or
frivolous, she is, in nineteen Cases out
of twenty, occupied in the best work
she can find. She may be said to pass
large part of her life in the practice
of benevulence and charity. She labOrs
as few men labor;she taxes her strength
to the utmost; she visits unpleasant
places, and tries to help people from
whom she would instinctively shrink.
1t would be hard to mention woman
of culture and refinement in easy cir
cumstances, capable of commanding
money and her tirne-and this is the
ordina significance of ia hionabl
Woman-who is not an active member
of several eleemosynary societies and
industrious workers in the field of phil.
anthropy.

An Infallible Remedy for the
Diphtheria.

Diphtheris has been prevalent at
Cleveland, Ohio. for some time past.
A communication in the Leader OF
that city says the following recipe is
an infsllible remedy for the disease.
All parents should cut it out and pre-.
serve it:
Put one teaspoonful of pulverised
sulphur into gia>s Of water and stir
well always before using. Let the
patient gargle this in the throat every
half hour, swallowing a little of the
mixture each time.
Sulphur must also be burned in the
rooms with the patents two or three
times day if necessary, to keep the
atmosphere filled with its fumes fol-
the patients to inhale.
Children too young to gargle liquid:
in tie throat should have the mixture
fed TO them moderately and allowed tt
continually breathe the fumes of the
burning sulphur.
The above remedy is a sure bu
simple one, and it is within the reacl
of everybody, and if used "a described
no more deaths need occur from diph-
tneria.

Dare to say ''No,'' when you're tempted to

Pause for moment, my boy, and think
Think of the wrecks upon life's ocean tossed
For answering "Yes," without counting the

Think of the mother who bore you in pain,
Think of the tears that will fall like the rain;
Think of her heart, and bow cruel the blow;
Think of her love, and at once answer ''No- p"
Think of the hopes that are drowned in the
bowl,
Think of the danger to body and soul;
Think of sad lives once pure as the snow,
Look at them now, and at once answer ''No,''
Think of manhood with rum-tainted breath,
Think how the glass leads to sorrow and death,
Think of lhe homes that, now shadowed with
woe,
Might have been heaven had the.answer been
'tNo."
Think of lone graves both unwept and un,
known,
Hiding fair hopes that were fair as your own;
Think of proud forms now forever laid low,
That still might be here had they learned tC

Think of the demon that turks in the bowl,

An OLD EDITORIAL.

The following Is an extract from an edi-
torial in Horace Greeley's Neu Yorker, Of
March, 1882 1t shows how long the Rus
so-English trouble has been breeding:
at is only since the virtual subjugation of
Turkey and Persia TO the gia nj power OF the
northern colossus that England has felt any
serious apprehension for the sefety of her
Oriental possessions. But the complete pros
tration OF the Ottoman power by the last
war, and the peace of Adrianople; the grasp
ing conditions imposed in the treaty by Rus
sia the further eNactions, especially with
regard 10 the passage of the Dardenelles and
the navigation of the Euxlne, since or secret
ly at the time imposed; the detection from his
allegiance of the pasha of Egypt; the vastly
important alienation of Persia from the in
terests of England, and her present close alli-
ance with Russia; and finally the constant
aggressions and extension of power by Rus
sia, especially on her southeastern frontier,
have impressed upon the British nation, par
ticularly upon those who have deep interest
in the preservation of her Indian empire, n
vivid sense of impending and formidable
danger. We shall not attempt, at this dis
lance, 10 judge of the reality or the imni-
hence of the danger. We prefer TO detail
facts rather than indulge in speculation"

George Alfred Townsend writes to tle
Philadelphia Times long and interesting
description of Stewards hotel for working
women, which was to have been formally
opened yesterday. The Times, referring to
the subject editorially, gives due credit for
the praiseworthy motives that actuated Mr..
Stewart in starting the enterprise, and that
actuate Judge Hilton and Mrs. Stewart in
completing, but thinks it is destined to be a
failure, and gives the following good rea-
sons for such belief:
There are two reasons why the "Women's
Hotelr will not be the uumixed blessing to
the working women which its orinator seems
to have designed. The very women who
most greatly stand in need of its beneficent
agency are the ones who are barred from en-
tering its doors. The majority of working
girls and shop women do not receive over five
or six dollars a week, and many of them have
to live on even less than that. The change
for boarding and lodging at the new hostelry
to a woman who occupies a room by herself
is seven dollars q week, the precaution Of
payment in advance Icing taken, lest the
woman should, sfter.consuming provender for
five or six days, take a notion to run away
and leave only trunk full of bricks or other
portables OF inconsequential value. Consid-
erIne that very good board. in clean and airy
apartments, can be had at this price, or even
for less money. down-trodden women looks
with longing and unsattsned gaze to see ex-
actly where the charitable feature Of the en-
