The Hum of Industry.

Two men and boy were walking
along down R. street recently, when one
of them-the father of the boy-said:
Z" How pleasant to my ears is this hum
of industry"
so it is to mine," replied the other,
and when the boy got chance he said
" Father, did you mean the pounding
back there?"
Yes, my son" was the answer
That evening as the father was seatea
in his evening chair, he heard an AVIS
pounding in the kitchen, and rushed in
to see his son belaboring chair with a
hammer.
What on earth does this meant" he
shrieked at the lad.
"The hum of industry, father" YVES
the pleasant reply.
The boy was hummed out O. that so
fast that it was over an hour before he
could compose himself to softly inquire
of his inner consciousness: Was
father lying to that man, or is night
bad time for the hum of industry?"-

sUFFERINGs.
The DAILY NeUs of this morning con
tains long account of the terrible suf
ferings endured in the passage of the
Balkans.
HARDsHIPs BEYOND DESCRIPTION
were endured by the soldiery. Thirty
men were frozen to death during four
days. Two thousand Russian soldiers are
i'll from exposure. "The dreadful pic
ture," concludes the correspondent, 'sof
soldiers half asleep dragging cannon up
vast slopes covered with ice, and with
their overcoats stiff and white as sheets

membrance of the storms and hardships

THE SENSATION OF LONDON
is the browning victory of the Russians
in Shipka Pass. The Times, in its
CuIIoildl IlliS HIOlHllS upon the great
achievement, says: "The Russians have
now a comparatively easy task before
them. The pouring of forces across the
Balkans, feat which was supposed last
summer to be an easy accomplishment,
is now finally achieved.
THE QUADRILATERIAL IS ISOLATED.
The Russians are substantially masters of
the last natural line of Turkish defense.
Everything indicates the utter disorder
and decentralization of the Turks. The
increasing vigor of the Russians, and the
perfection of their organization, is in
great contrast to their enemies.
THE PORTE MUST NOW MAKE PEACE
if it desires to preserve any substantial
portion of its territory. Turkey must
accept harder terms now than would
have been accorded her a year ago, but
the experience of the past twelve months
must have taught her that if she resists
longer she has only to expect a complete
and final discontinue, ending in igno-
minious defeat.

WASHINGTON.

1T is understood that the government has
been given renewed consideration to the
case of the supposed filibustering steamer
Estelle, at Bristol, r. L., and the president
does not consider that at present the
steamer should be allowed to leave port, and
accordingly instructions have been sent to
the proper officials for her further detention
NUMBER of ladies from the women's
convention appeared before the committee
on privileges and elections, at Washington
on the 18th inst.
4 BILL introduced by Senator Dorsey, on
the 10th inst, provides for the continuance
of the Hot Springs commission, and enlarges
its powers by authorizing it to reserve from
the sale and dedicate to public uses various
lots of ground as sites for schoolhouses,
churches, etc.
The President, with the concurrence of
the postmaster general, has determined to
reappoint Judge Edmunds as postmaster of
Washington.
AT the cabinet session on the Sth inst,
| it was determined that the secretary of the
| treasury should, as soon as practicable,
invite farther subscriptions to public loan
of four per cent. bonds, and so conduct it
that all subscribers in all parts of the United
States shall have free and easy opportunity
to subscribe to bonds of any amount
authorized by law through the national
banks and bankers of established credit,
and to give every facility allowed by law to
convert postal orders, certificates of deposit
and United States notes into coin for the
payment of bonds, and where necessary, to
sell coin to facilitate subscriptions, and to
favor any legislation that congress might
see fit to adopt to promote the deposit of
savings for funding of the national debt.
The Supreme Court, on the 9TH inst, de-
cided the case of McGarrahan vs. the New
Idra Mining Co. The court decides that the
record kept at the general land office at
Washington, of California, confirming the
Mexican grants, relied upon by McGarrahan
as evidence of his title, does not prove the
conveyance to him by the United States of
the land in controversy, because the record
does not show patent countersigned by
the recorder and therefore is not sufficient
to prove the title in McGarrahan. Other
questions raised in the argument are not
considered affirmed. The chief Justice
delivered the opinion.
IT is probable that an order will soon be
issued from the treasury department for
uniforming custom-house employees, though
it will depend somewhat on the experiment
yet to be made in one or two principal Of
fees.
BY direction of the president, Lieut..
Alexander Rogers, 4th cavalry, has been de
tailed for duty on the staff of Commissioner
General Mccormick, to represent the army

WAR NOTES.

A SPECIAL from Constantinople says the
Russians have occupied Eski Saghra and
Yeni Saghra, cutting off the Turkish army.
THE Servians have captured Nisch, with
its garrison of 5000 men, 90 cannon, 1000
rifles and number of flags.
No armistice has yet been effected. 1t is
said that the whole Russian army feels the
hardness and almost injustice of armistice
proposals, coming just when final triumph
is in view.
General Radetzky, after desperate fight
ing, on the 9th inst, captured the whole
Turkish army defending Shipka Pass,
consisting of forty-ene battalions, ten
batteries and one regiment of cavalry. The
victory was the result of a combined move
ment by Radetzky and Skobeleff through the
Shipka and Trojan passes, respectively.
A CoNsTANTINOPLE special, dated the
9th. says: "Mehemet Ali has started for
ROumelia, commissioned to conclude an
armistice, if he judges a continuation of
war impossible. A special from Pera states
that Mehemet Ali has gone to arrange the
armistice. The correspondent understands
the porte has agreed to propose six weeks
armistice on condition that the belligerents
maintain their present positions, and peace
negotiations will begin as soon as the ar
mistice comes into operation"
I've occupation of Sophia, is of great ad-
vantage to the Russians. 1t gives them a
base for operations in Roumelia, opens up
the resources of the country around, and
makes them, to certain extent, indepen.
dent of supplies from Roumania
BAKER PAsHA has been promoted to the
rank OF lieutenant general.
AN Athens correspondent states that the
calling out of the second reserve, which has
just been ordered, will raise the Greek army
to $4,000 men. Uncertainty as to the inten-
ton of Great Britain paralyzes the Greeks,
but as long as the present ministry remain

warlike policy will not be definitely adopt
