England's Relations with Austria.


LONDON May 13.-The Paris correspondent
of the Times telegraphs that the prompt publ
cation of Mr.. Gladstone's apology has cleared
the air, and perhaps on the whole, satisfied the
public sense of what was necessary to maintain
cordial relations between Great Britain and
Austria. The Times Vienna correspondent
says "The publication Of Earl Granville's
note and Gladstone's letter is much appreciat-
ed here" Lord Granville recently warmly
assured Count Karolyi that the British gov
eminent was animated by the most sincere
desire to cultivate friendly relations with Aus
tria, and he expressed satisfaction at the Aus
tro-German understanding.
The Times referring to the relations be-
tween England aud Austria and to recent
interview between Count Karolyi, the Austrian
ambassador at London land Granville, the Brit
ish secretary of foreign affairs saws thatKarolyi
gave to Granville the most positive assurance
that the tendencies of Austro- Germany were
entirely pacific, and it could not possibly be
directed to any object that would be injurious
to British interests.
The Blackburn Strikes.
A large proportion of the factory operatives
of Blackburn left their employment yesterday.
1t is doubtful whether the strike will become
general, as public opinions are altogether OPP
posed to it. A number of mill operatives
have decided to work at the old rate but some
employers have refused to allow them to do
this, while two or three masters offered to
grant an increase of five per cent.
About Il, 900 weavers at Blackburn struck
yesterday, and the greater part of the remain
der will probably quit work to-day.
Bradlaugh's Conscientious Scruples
A special committee to whom was referred
the case of Chas. Bradlaugh will, on reassem-
bling OF the Commons, report adversely on his
claim to affirm instead .of taking the oath.
Whether he takes the oath or not the ultimate
effect of this decision will probably be that the
rule of procedure with regard to inducing
members will be modified.

COIds---HOM 10 Cure.

A lady correspondent of one of our
western journals says:
"At this season of the year, when
so many are suffering from colds and
coughs, | wonder how many resort to
the simple remedy known as onion
syrup? 1t has the advantage of being
always at hand, and with us has al.
wayS been very eficacious.
Peel a few onions, and cut them in
very thin slices; place some sugar in
the bottom of bowl, then a layer Of
onions; cover thickly with sugar; place
a plate over the bowl, and set away
until a syrup is formed.
A teaspoonful or two every time
the cough is troublesome, and on
retiring at night, will always break
up the most obstinate cough. Tur.
nips may be prepared in the same
manner, and make a syrup equally
valuable.
One runs a great risk in ~neglecting
a cough, particularly where there is q
predisposition to lung complaints
aud many times a simple remedy
taken in season will save from linger-
ing illness, and it may be an early
grave.

Daniel r. Tilden. Judge of the pro-
bate court of Cuyahoga county during
the past twenty-eig years, has just
returned to the city after a visit to
New York, where he called upon the
famous Samuel j., and, after CONVEX
sation and searching of records with
him, made the discovery that Samuel
Jones is his third cousin. Judge Til
den passed portions of three days and
one night with the man of Gramercy
park. During this time the two dined
together and walked in the great
mans fower-garden in the rear of the
noted No. Is. The judge says II
found Sam cheerful, in excellent
health, both mentally aud physically,
and the sharpest man l ever met.
This talk about paralysis is all bosh,
though there is a slight trembling of
the left hand. When in the flower
garden, l said to him. Sam. what is
the matter with your left hand? Why
does it tremble? ? He said, There is
a little rheumatic difficulty with the
chords, but it amounts to nothing,
though it has caused considerable
talk. l am as healthy as | was twenty
years ago, and daily mount my horse
as easily as ever
while visiting the garden, l casual
ly said" continued the judge, "'I
don't see why in the world you want
to give up this delightful home for
four years of worry amid the smoke,
dirt and heat Of the White house.
He replied simply, I know 1 should
never enjoy myself as well as here. .
JUDGE Tilden says that he called
upon his newly-discovered relative
with very strong feelings against him,
but he now believes him to be thor
oughly honest, and, moreover, a mar
incapable of dishonest dealing.

taken up solid" quarters in the north
end of the exposition building and was

unfairness of the new rule, but he

Chicago, and from him seek redress.
This settled the question, and l re-
turned to the Palmer house to hunt

able to have the matter remedied.

From the Modoc Cali independently
A risky old bachelor who lives
above Willow Ranch commenced a
correspondence with a girl living in
the east a short time ago, and finally
proposed to her that if she would
come out to California he would marry
her. She consented, and he RENTED
the money to her. She arrived in
Reno, Nevada, and stopped over a few
days to rest. While there she heard
bad accounts of Modoc was told that
the elevated portion of the country
was buried under snow, and the low
lands were deep under water that

accepted forthwith, she deeming il

came a mania, till at the present time
Gus is more girl than man. He

"a gathered rose and a stolen heart"
Did you ever watch the unfolding OF
a rosebud, from the time it first begins
to form, apparently a little roll Of
green leaves, until it gradually enlarges
and by degrees the beautiful pink, or
white, or red, or yellow peeps out;
then shows itself more and more, and
at last the green all disappear, and the
lovely rose is before you. Just so it
is with that little misunderstanding
cupid. At first he merely makes one
person more drawn to another, then
by degrees the rosebud of friendship
is developed into the full-blown rose
of love. The lovely rose upon its
parent-stem is beautiful, the suns
rays seem to kiss it with greater
beauty, the dews of heaven seem to
battle its beautiful face, and the winds
Of heaven rock it to sleep upon its
mothers bosom. But when a rose is
once broken from its stem, it begins
to lose its perfume, and to cease to
charm by its beauty. 1t charms but
for a day; so many a stolen heart is
rudely broken when the charm of nov
city is over. 1t was a lovely evening
in June 1873, when l wandered among
the mountains, that 1 CHANGED to enter
a little hamlet. 1t was composed Of
only a few little cottages. The peas

wandered around amongst the vii
layers and quietly enquired something
Of her history. As is usual with the
peasants Of that country, they were
polite and attentive to a stranger.
They told me that the young maiden
had been born amongst them, that hel
childhood days had been watched BY
the tender eye Of parental love, just as
a rosebud is enclosed by the strons
green leaves, and that when the buC
had blossomed into a rose, a stranger
had entered the village. He haC
woed and won the heart of the swee.
maiden, like the gathered rose it haC
charmed but for a day. A new fac,
had beguiled him, a new heart hat
won his tickle love. This little stor,
brought forcibly to my mind thes,
words:
A maiden sat at her busy wheel,
Her heart was light and free,
And ever in cheerful song burst forth,
Her bosom's h rmless glee.
Her song was In mockery Of love,
And Oft / heard her say,
A gathered rose and a stolen heart
Can charm but for a day.
A year passed by, and again I stood,
At the humble cottage door;
Toe maid sat at her busy wheel,
But her heart was light no more,
The big tears stood in her doWncast eyes,
Aud With signs | heard her say:
A gathered rose and a stolen heart
Can charm but for a day.
The maid had forgotten her own sweet song
As she listened to loves soft tale;
She had drank Of the sweets Of the poisone
cup,
II had wasted her life away,
And the gathered rose like the stolen heart.
Had charmed but for a day.
