Each tie of earth must sever
And pass away forever,
But there is no more separation
In the presence of the King"

The possibilities of general Euro
pean conflict have been immensely in
creased by the declaration of war against
Bulgaria by Servla. The Russian Gov
eminent has not only .disgraced Prince
Alexander, of Bulgaria, By depriving
him of bis colonelcy Of Russian regi-
ment, but has stopped its annual sub
vention of 160,0 roubles. 1t also has
under advlsement the withdrawal of its
consuls, aud the cessation of diplomatic
relltions-an act generally deemed
equivalent to q declaration of war.
Prince Alexander has proved so much
less subservient to Russian control than
was expected that Russia desires above
all things his deposition. While nc
overt act may be taken in this direction
Russia will look with complaccncy on
any loss that Bulgaria may suffer from
Seryia- II Is not believed that Greece
can be restrained from war now thai
Servia has led the way, and before tho
Conference can do anything toward:
settlement Of the Questions they ma!
be settled on the battlefield. The grea
danger Is not from the war of thes,
smaller principalities with each other
but that the larger nations may b.
drawn into the conflict. in which cas-
ths map " Europe might DO recon
ptructed again.

WASHINGTON. d. c., Nov: IA, 'S5.
Representatives in Congress are now
busying themselves with matters relat-
ing to the reorganization of the House.
Speaker Carlisle has not yet arrived in
the city, but he is looked for every day.
As there is no contest over the speaker
ship the excitement of a canvass is
avoided and there is no special necessity
for his presence on the scene SO soon,
but some of his friends are watching for
him very anxiously. 1t is not expected
that theie will be any important legis-
lltion attempted before the holiday re-
cess, but there will be plenty of matter
of interest to demand the attention of
the law makers meanwhile.
The first thing to be taken up in.the
House after the Presidents message is
received will be the question of rules.
About the close of last session Messrs.
Adams, of New York, Collins, of Mass
and Hatch, of Missouri, were unollici-
ally appointed a committee TO. devise
some plan taking the power from the
appropriation committee; and hurrying
up the business of the House. These
gentlemen have got the signatures Of
'iXty-eight Democratic members Of in
tluence in the House to. a petition de-
claring that one of two things must be
lone-either all legislation on the ap-
prol Ration bills must be prohibited and
he bills be required to be reported
within a certain limited time early In
The session, or else all bills except the
deficiency, the sundry, civil, the legls.
latlve and the District of Columbia, and
probably the fOrtifcations, shall be
taken from the appropriations commits
tee and distributed among the various
committees having charge Of the legis-
lation bearing upon the subject of the
bills. OF course Mr.. RandAll's friends
and all the members Of the Appropria-
lions committee viii resist this, and u
pretty lively fight Is expected, which
will take up all the time before the
holidays. After that there viii be
enough important matters to keep both
branches Of Congress actively employed
until late in the summer.
Papers have been received bv the
Clerk Of the House Of Representatives
giving notice of contests for four seats
in the next Congress as follows: Camp
bell against Weaver, for the Sixth Iowa
District; Kidd against Steele, Eleventh
Indiana district; Page against Pieroe,

Second Rhode Island District, and Herd
against Romers. Tenth or Toledo Dis
trict of Ohio. Besides these documents
protests have been received from citi-
zens Of California. urging the non sea-
ing of the Congressional delegation from
that State, on the ground that they
were not legally elected to represent
the districts for which they were given
certificates. In one case from Cali
.fornla the protest declares that Barclay
Henley, Of the First District, is not
citizen of the United States. In sup
port of this allegation the opponents Of
Mr.. Henley avthat in 1854 he became
by his own petition a naturaltzed citi-
!, zen Of Mexico, Maximiliar signing the
document. Subsequently he returned
10 California, but dia:net haia spplica-
ton for naturalization. :This, shls-op-
ponents say, renders him still and alien.

Every now and then there are pub
lished reports about the promised bril-
liancy of the coming winter. There is
no reason why this winter should be
more brilliant than any other. A pros
porous business season always brings q
large number of visitors to Washington.
The improvement in business this fall
will certainly help the situation here.
A long session always brings a larger
crowd than a short one. The members
of the new administration are disposed
to do their part. Mr.. Bayard will moi
take new house, but will remain ir
the modest one that he occupied upor
Highland terrace. He said to frient
the other day that his means would no
permit his living in a larger house. II,
has large family and several children
grown who are dependent upon him
His wife will not be able to go in societ.
this winter, but will be represented b,
her very energetic daughter, Miss Cath
arine. Mr.: Manning's house Is a yer,
:. large one. 1t is the property of Mrs
Utis Bigelow. 1t is suitable for larg
, entertainments. Mrs. Manning is yer
fond of society, so they will probabl
entertain largely. The other New Yorl
member of the cabinet is making pre-
parations for entertaining, Mr.. Whit
ney will not be able to get into abe Ere
, iinghuysen house, which he has rented
until about the 1st of January.

ITEMS OF INTERsT.E

The Duke of Abercorn, who died the
other day, was the senior Knight of the
Order of the Garter, position now
held by Lord Granville. The vacant
stall will probably be given to the late
Dukes son-in-law, the Duke of Buc-
cleuch.
Philippe Daryl, French essavist
and critic, says of Oliver Wendell
Holmes: Everybody who speaks Eng
lish on the planet has been enjoying for
the past thirty years the superior pro-
ductions of this Boston Frenchman.
And yet the Latin world remains ignor-
ant of him."
The Greeks devoured the flesh of
the hedgehog. When it has been well
fed it is sweet and well favored, and
the flesh is eaten in many places in
England and on the Continent. An
American gentleman who partook of
this dainty, stewcd, on the other side,
says it reminded him a good deal of
quail.
--Bisulphide of carbon, NJ. Pasteur
thinks, will become the most etllcacious
of all antiseptics, as il is also the cheap

per pound in large quantity. 1t is like
wise the best insecticide known, and for
this purpose may, it is thought, be use

already put to may be gathered from
the fact. as stated, that more than
eight million pounds of the substance
are used annually TO check the rayages
of phylloXera. Carbon bisulphide, as
produced, though an extremely offensive

DIR. Carlos Finley, of Havana. has
been experimenting on the inoculabilily Y
of yellow fever. The disease was found
TO be transmissible only from the third
| to the sixth day. Out of eleven inocu-
lations, six were successful, one doubt
full, and four negative. The inocula-
tlons were brought about by the use OF
mosquitoes, which were first caused tC
sting patients suffering from the fever,
and afterward allowed 10 sting the per
sons whom it was intended TO inocuate
Whatever may be the result of DIR. Fin.
ley's inoculatory experiments as against
yellow fever, the ease with which Iii
sease may be transmitted by the mere
sting of small insect is an important
addition to the history OF how zymotit
diseases are spread.
