The Eastern War Cloud.

There are darker spots on the war
cloud in the east, Germany, Austria
and Italy having washed their hands
of the matter 80 far as cooperation
with England is concerned and it is
now strongly suspected that Russia
will shortly assume directly hostile
attitude to England. The pride of the
other powers. evidently, has been
somewhat hurt by England's careless
independence in the Egyptian matter
and of all Of them, Russia is the one
that may be looked to first to show
her dislike, it being an accepted fact,
that there is bitter enmity existing
in that empire against Great Britain.
The status Of affairs is more omi-
aous than at any time since the be-
ginning Of the Egyptian muddle aud
,onversative thinkers and writer's are
beginning to allow the existing prooa-
bility of war between some of the Eu-
ropcan powers, before the pending
problem in Egypt is settled
One Of the greatest obstacle in the
way of peacable settlement Of affairs
is the total unreliability Of Turkish
statesmen, who, as we have already
pointed out, see in European troubles,
the possible chance Of lettering her
own condition and in the present mat
ter to bring about by her willy dirlo
macy tie desired misunderstanding
between other powers.

A Vast Population.

According to the recent census of
India, its population numbers $50, 900, 600
of souls; about five times as many as
the United States. There is raised by
taxation in that country 1854, 900, 900.
The surplus over expenditure is "a, OOO,-
600. This vast empire is under the
control of the British Government. One
of the difficulties In its future is the
rapid increase of its population. Every
few years short crop brings OH fam
inc in some one of the districts. Nautilus
argued that population always ouruns
the means of feeding it, and he claimed
that war, pestilence and famine were
necessary to reduce the number of
mouths, so that all who survived could
be fed. The English domination in
India has put stop to wars. Famines
are partially provided against, and sani-
tary provision has been made against
pestilepce. It follows that population
is increasing with great rapidity. and the
probability is that some year. when the
crops will fail, literally myriads of hui
man beings viii perish of hunger

Gen. Skobelef.

Lieut.. Green, in his interesting
sketches of army life in Russia, writes
thus of Gen. Skobeleff; In return for
his care of his men, he demanded of
them, first of all. unhesitating, I'M
finching, unquestioning obedience to
all his orders, If he ordered man to
do anything, where immediate death
was as certain rs the sun in heaven, he
expected to be instantly obeyed, with
out so much rs even look or question
of surprise. Himself a man of wide
reading, speaking many languages, and
having travelled in man lands, he gath
cred about him in his personal staff as
rough and uncultured lot of men as
ever / saw in officers uniform; but
they answered his purpose to carry
orders, and, as he said, if he ordered
one of them to ride his horse against
the muzzle of discharging cannon, he
would do SO instantly.
His personal bravery was not only of
the most reckless character, but at
times it seemed to partake of the merest
bravado, in which only extraordinary
luck prevented him from reaping in death
the well-earned reward of his foolishness.
He always wore white coat, white
hat, and rode white horse in battle,
simply because other generals usually
avoided these target-marks. He was
perpetually riding at break-neck
speed over some fence or ditch, leaving
half his staff and orderlies sprawling in
it. He never lost an opportunity of dis
playing courage. He went into battle
in his cleanest uniform and fresh under
clothing, covered with perfume, and
wearing diamond-hilted sword, in Or
der, as he said. that he might die with
his best clothes on.
For long time he wore, with evident
affection, coat in which he had been
wounded, and which had conspicu-
Gus patch on the shoulder. Yet all this
was not mere bravado and nonsense,
but the result of thought and almost
coldblooded calculation. twas intended
to impress his men, and it did so. They
firmly believed that he could not be hit,
ard whenever they saw white horse,
coat, and cap among them, they knew
that was Skobeleff, and so long as he
was there they felt sure that everything
was going well.
