coNDoN NOT TO STOP IN IRELAND.
LONDON, Sept. 16.-The circular letter of
the Cabinet of Athens, which was formally
handed to Lord Salisbury, is identical
in its terms with summary of its contents
telegraphed hence on the 18th inst. as an
ticipated in these dispatches some days ago.
Condor and Melady, instead of being per-
mitted to pass through Ireland en- route to
the United States, will be placed ON board a
steamer sailing for New York direct from
London, Liverpool or Hull.
The Irish Nationalist says that this act of
petty precaution on the part of the Govern
ment detracts much from the grace of the
pardon.
WHAT RUSSIA HAS FOUND OUT.
LONDON, Sept 16.-The Pail Mall Gazette
has the following: The st. Petersburg
Golos says that the treaty of Berlin had
produced an almost crushing impression on
the Russian public. 1t is felt that Russia
has not attained her object; that she has
been deceived by her friends, and that she
has foolishly helped her enemies by her
victories What is the reason of our fail
ure? One half per cent. of our population
have pershed in the war. Hundreds of

Eastern question is not solved, and the
treaty of Berlin is merely truce. The last
war has clearly shown all our national pc
culiarities, as well as our moral and mate
rial strength.
All the military requirements which de-
pended on the inbred qualities of the Rus
sian soldier were brilliantly carried out,
but where knowledge and preparation were
demanded we were not equal to the task. 1t
was probably for this reason that we felt so
much hurt on reading of the boldness of
Lord Beaconsield, who doubtless reckoned
on the superior culture of Englishmen to
that of Russians. All classes of Russian So
ciety are responsible for this. We do not
estimate culture and knowledge at their
true value Most of us say that mental
work does not bring money and that culture
is means of corruption. In Western
Europe on the other hand, people have ar
rived at the conviction that intelligence, ca
pacity culture and energy bring men to
the front and give them peace at home and
power abroad. 1t is the knowledge of how
to make the best possible use of their energy
and abilities that has enabled the English to
derive success from our victories and sacri-
tices may thus be lesson to us.
