Indifference to pecuniary reward is
one of tho best features among public
men in Europe. Recently the Bishop
of Durham retired, refusing a large
pension. The last Speaker of the
House of Commons declined the pen
sion of $4,000 year allotted to that
office. English premiers are entitled
to a retiring pension Of $4,000 after a
few years service, but never accept it
unless in very moderate circumstances.

The progress of Japan for twenty
five years has been 80 great, according
to n Springfield Republican letter from
r.. Henry Davis, who is now revisit
ing that country, that the inhabitants
speak of the s'new era' as an entirely
distinct period. 81 lately STOOD" he

looked over to the inland sea and down
upon several cities, connected by newly
constructed railroads and telegraphs of
the most approved methods, and saw
the find Post Office buildings and the
excellent and conmodious school
houses, and witnessed other signs that
this people have borrowed largely from
those nations called civilized and Chris
tian; but my eye searched in vain for
that which occupies the central spot in
every New England village-the
church spire." The liberation Of Chris
tianity in Japan is a thing of recent
date, and only within six years have
missionaries been safe from personal
attacks.

only seven millions hard money for
Alaska in the first place. And now
the Governor discovers that an army
and a navy will have to be stationed
there to protect two or three hundred
people from the Indians. Alaska is
about as valuable as land in some por-
tions of western Texas, which is utterly
unsuitable, producing nothing but taxes,
which have to be paid. A man owning
only a few thousand acres does not ex-
cite much sympathy, but the poor
wretch who is the possessor of five or
ten thousand acres has claims on the
poor-house that cannot be ignored.
Alaska is a most expensive white ele-
phant.- Galceston NcscS.

ST. FRANCIsv1LLE, La, Nov. II, 1879.
To the Editor Of the Feliciana Sentinel:
Dear Sir Il am told that MIR. Calvin
Goodman has received within tho last
week several anonymous letters and that
political capital is attempted to be made
out of said letters, to my Injury, by init
mating that either myself or my friends
are the authors. l believe that am too
well known in the Parish for any man,
who has any claims to be called o gentle
man, to place any confidence in any such
statement. 1t is needless for me, there
fore, to deny such a contemplate charge
trumped up to injure me. It is only neces-
sary for me to deuounce the author OF this
report, whoever he may be, as LIAR

That of . "heathen Chinee," if belonging
to one Of our race, can scarcely be dc.
scribed as attractive. But worse than
this, it is the index of o disorded liver OF
q liver that needs arousing and regula-
ting. The enemy is at hand, prompt,
etticacious. A course of Hostettels Stom-
ach Bitters will expel the misdirected
bile from the blood and divert it into the
proper channel, open the bowels, remove
the dyspeptic symptoms which invaria-
bly, accompany biliousness and counter
acts the rapidly developing tendency to
dangerous congestion Of the liver, which
must always exist when tho skin and
whites of the eyes assume this yellow
hue. The pains through the right low
CT ribs, side and shoulder blade. the nau-
sea, furred state of the tongue, and IN
pleasant breath which indicates liver
complaint, in short it's disagreeable con-
comitants are soon remedied by this sover-
eign corrective, which in addition to its
regulating proprieties is q superb invig-

EJTrouble is brewing between Rnssi,,
and England. All Russian officers on leave
have been ordered to join their regiments
Immediately. A Berlin dispatch Of the
18th says: Russia has advised Turkey
to ask all the signatories of tho treaty of
1856 90 dispatch a squadron to tho Dartl-
enclles i'll case the English fleet enters
the straits. The whole st. Petersburg
press is violent i'll its tone on the question.
A London telegram of the 18th denies
that Englaad's ultinatum was semitic the
Porte; denies that tho channel fleet was
ordered to be in readiness to proceed to
Turkish waters in four days; denies that
England demanded from Turkey the cess
sion of aport in tho Black sea. Meantime
Russia is discussing tho ways and means
for the construction of cruisers in view of
her relations with England.
