would play the part Of the lawyer Ii the
case of the disputants for an oyster, and
award the contending parties q shell each.
In other words, Austria would sWoop down
to the Hgean, appropriate Salonica, and an
mex Macedonia and Albania she might
leave Thessaly to the Greeks and CONSTANT
nople to the Turks, but practically she Woull
control the whole OF the Balkin Peninsula,
and there would be an end on the one hand
Of the old Ottoman empire, and On the other
Of the aspirations Of the new Kingdom Of
Greece.
1t ia probable that both Turks and Greeks
see something of this sort looming il the fu-
ture; but they are il the tolls of the European
net, from which Greece is too ambitious to
wish to escape and Turkey too feeble to at
tempt it. So they are struggling and intrigu-
ing in it's meshes under the auspices OF the
one power which can strange them both.
Under these circumstances, | do not share
the saDguine expectations OF those who be-
lieve that Turkey is going to hand Thessaly
peacefully over to Greece, and that Greece IS
going peacefully to occupy it. On the con-
trary, | believe that a hitch will come very
soon, and that these countries will find them
selves forced into a collision even before they
are quite ready for it. At present Greece

her commissariat is not in working order,
her army is still undisciplined, and she Is
lacking in the necessary munitions OF war.
Turkey has got an insurrection in Albania
upon her hands, and the possibility OF troubles
in other parts of her empire. l should not
be SURPRISED therefore, If q month or two
were to elapse before hostilities begin, and 10
the meantime the negotiations for the dellm-
itation Of the frontier and the terms OF the
evacuation will be discussed as though the
whole thing was to end in q peaceful reality.
But. however pacific appearances or this sort
may be. YOU may take ii for certain that out
of this Greek frontier question will
come 8 war, that that war may in
its earlier stages be localized, but
that sooner or later it will pro-
duce complications which will make it almost
impossible for European powers, however
strong may be their desire TO remain neutral,
owing to other enbarrassments, to look on
as uninterested observers; and that 1t Will
work the most important changes ID the east
o. Europe. OF course it is Impossible to
predict the exact nature Of those changes,
but that the Cabinets Of the great Euro
pean powers, and the leading organs OF pub
lie opinion, should continue to hug the delu-
sion that the late offer Of ThessalY by Tur-
key and its acceptance by Greece is 8
solution of the Eastern question calculated to
insure peace, can only be accounted for by
the fac, that the great powers have already
s%tultified themselves once by the naval
demonstration al Dulcigno, 8 second time by
the conference at Berlin, and that they are
for a third time most transparency duped by
the one man whose policy has proited by
both these ~fiascOs, and who is pulling the
wires both st Athens and ~COnstantlnople,
from Berlin.

President Garfield Tells q story.

washington Correspondence Of the Providence Press.
Perhaps the Presidents state Of mind may
be discovered from a story he told a friend
who called upon him yesterday. In 1875,
when the Democrats organized the House OF
Representatives for the first time after the
war, there was 9 general clearing out Of old
clerks to make places for the friendsofD Demo-
cratic congressman. Two Old attaches OF the
House, who had held their places through
many administrations, Mr.. Barclay, the
Journal Clerk, and Mr.. Mahaffy, one Of the
Reading clerks, supposed that Congress
could not get along without them, and thai
they were not, therefore, in any danger Of
removal. Sitting IN their arm-chars IN their
Office, Gen. Garfield said as they blew the
smoke from their cigars they congratulated
each other swell, it vas to be expected
that these poor devils of under clerks would
lose their places, but we are solid. Adams,
the new Clerk of the House, will never be
fool enough to turn US out" But one day,
as Unexpectedly as thunder from 9 clear sky,
came the announcement that even. Barclay
and Mahaffy had been removed. Both men
Immediately put on their hats and went over
to Sanderson's in search Of liquid consolation.
They drank confusion to Clerk Adams and
the whole Democratic party, and chuckled
and laughed as they called up in Imagination
the inextricable tangle into which the bust
ness Of the House would get as soon as they
left their desks and finally, when they were
pretty full, they started back to the Capitol
arm in arm. AS they beat up against the
wind across the plaza, DR.. Mahaffy burst out
$50 -- s1~ 1n,,-L .GsT 1I-rr Da-
clay said he, won't it be a good joke
when they come to Us on their Bonded knees
and beg us to come back and straighten
things out 2" Just then Barclay, who didn't
seem to appreciate the joke very much,
stopped, Strengthened himself up, and point
ing to the Goddess Of Liberty on the dome Of
the Capitol, as he shook his inirm finger at
il. said "D'ye see her, (hic), Mahaffy ?
She totters she totters !"

Christianity.
New York lIcrald.1

From the New York lIcrald1
Christianity in its actual condition
does not depend upon any books, and
least OF all upon any part Of the Old
Testament and the man who Imagine,
that he has shaken its foundations when
he has made critical observation,
against the Jewish histories only proves
that he had not fully observed the first
facts in the nature Of the subject he
proposed TO consider. If the older parts
OF the Bible were gone altogether, nav.
If the gospels themselves were gone,
Christianity would suffer no change or
harm by the loss, but would still stand.
us the unwrltten religious constitution
of humanity, because its vitality does
not depend upon what has been taught
II does not require the support of its
history; it rests firmly upon the need
that men and women have for precisely
such conior, and consolation in ihe |
'rIals of life us it is fitted to give and
gives.

The following, which we find gon!
the rounds Of our exchanges, is bcauti
full, and should be framed in gold an,
put in every house in the land:
" a man without some sort ofrclpiol
Is, at best, Il poor reprobate, the football
OF destiny; with no tie linking him t.
iniinity and to the wondrous eternity
that is within him: but woman with.
out 1t Is even worse-ilame without
heat, Il rainbow without color, flower
without perfume.
~ man may in some way tie his
irail hopes and honors, with weak,
shifting ground tackle to his business of
the world but woman without that
anchor which they call faith is Il drift
and Il wreck. \ man may clumsly con-
tinuc kind Of responsibility or motive,
but can find no bases in other system of
right action than that of spiritual faith.
\ man may craze his thoughts and his
brain, to thoughtessncss in such poor
harboragc before but woman
where can she put her hope in storms,
if not in heaven!
" And that sweet trustfnlness- that
abiding hope, that endearng hope, mel.
owing every scene OF life, lighting them
With the pleasant radiance ; when the
worlds cylL storms break like an army
With shocking cannon--what can bes-
tow il all but a holy soul-tie to what is
trongcr than an army with cannon
Fho that has enjoyed the love of
iod-loving mother, but will echo the
bought with energy, and hallow it with
tear"
