received adviceS from its representative at

gratifi cation at the outcome of the
fight between the Russians and Afghans OF

War with Russia Considered Inevitable
Panic ON the London Exchange.
LONDON, April 9.-The news of the en-
yagement on tho Afghan frontier between
the Russian and Afghan outposts has caused
the greatest excitement here. The people
are incensed at Russian duplicity i'll pretend
ing to be anxious for peace while her object,
they say, was merely for the purpose of
gaining more time.
The streets are crowded this morning with
an excited populace, rushing hither and
thither in search of the latest information.
The newspaper offices are besieged and the
streets are almost impossible at points where
bulletins are displayed.
The fight on the frontier is generally
viewed as the first step by Russia in a long
contemplated contest for supremacy in
Asia, and that bloody and desperate war
between her and England is now in
svitable. The feeling in financial and
commercial circles is semi-panieky. On the
stock exchange the gravity Of the situation
is reflected by heavy falling off in consols
and Russian bonds. The former have de-
,lined fully 2 per cent since Wednesday,
''l;'" Russian bonds have declined nearly 10

"Then how do you think the conflict was

"Why, in this way, of course; know

attempting to drive he Russian pickets

Baron de Staal, the Russian ambassador
to London, was called on by Central
News reporter Thursday morning. He APP
peared not at all surprised by the news OF
the outbreak on the Afghan frontier He
said he only wondered it had been so long

present" said the ambassador, "but | fear
the worst is not known, and that the fight

Baron de Staal would not venture an
opinion as to the result, and refused to talk
further on the subject until he had received
official advices from his government con-

Gladstone, in answer TO question said that
the government had received information
which confirmed the news Of the battle be-
tween the Russians and Afghans at MUIR

Russian government had been demanded.
In answer to a question concerning the fate
of Penjdeh, Mr.. Gladstone said that no con-
firmation of the rumored capture Of that

Circuit Court.

There being a great deal of doubt
in the minds of many of our citizens
as to whether or not a term Of Cir
cult Court will be held here before
Fall, the Circuit Court Clerk wrote
to Hon. w. II. Cate, Circuit Judge.
and asked him to give his construc-
ton upon the law. Below will be
found the answer of Judge Cate to
the letter of the Clerk:
JoNEsBoRo, ARK, April I.
Mn. HuGn r. McVEIGu-Dear
Sir: Your favor enclosing copy of
late act in regard to time of holding
court in your county is before me.
Replying to your request therein
to be advised as to what construc-
ton should be given the same,
would say that under said act there
is no authority of law to hold a
term of the Circuit Court in your
county until next Fall, and unless
some unexpected local disturbance
occasions a necessity to call a special
term, which is not at all probable,
there will be no court there until
mex. fall.
You may adyise parties interested
of my views, and also shape your
official conduct in accordance with
the same. Very truly yours,
w. ii. CATE, Judge.

The election passed off quietly,
and little interest was manifested
save In quiet way by few would
be local politicians whose sole OBJ
iect in life seems to be to seek Of
fee, and oppose every proposition
presented, whether good, bad or in
different. To "rule or ruin" in fact,
seems to be an Unborn and ingrained

wy Little York Gets Left.

The amusement man on the York Dispatch
is very mad because Barnum skipped that
little borough, and he blames the opera house
management for it. He says: "But what
has York done that all the great first-class
shows pass by, and only the little ten cent
variety shows dare venture. Is that the
true size of York, and how Is it to be ac-
counted Tor? Such was not the case In years
gone by. Is it not the narrow-minded policy
of our York opera house management that
has ruined the business i'm York. Jim Dale
and Sam Adams have been gratifying their
narrow guage, small policy. They and
several others in the opera house board have
been reducing the standard of public enter
tainments in York. The matter has been
thoroughly reported by visiting troupes,. and
all first class shows and entertainments have
learned not to come tn York, a town that has
so thoroughly adopted the small business of
a ten-cent variety show standard. The
people will observe the difference in the class
of entertainments now at tho opera house and
those of several years ago. Not single

RICHARD HENRY SToDDARD, himself
something of poet is the last offender
against good taste, who seized upon the occa-
sion of the late Poe memorial to fling his
stone upon the poets grave. Whercupon a
= Tribune correspondent, with pointed criti-
cism, asks: Scan no one mention the high
philosophy of Bacon but he must be told
that the great chancellor took bribe? Shall
we only hear of Milton that he had marital
infelicities or of Shakespeare that he stole
deer; of Shelley that he was turned out OF
college and was not married betimes to
either of his wives; of Coleridge that he was
an opium inebriate; or of Sappho that she
loved not wisely but too wellH Arc We tc
look at mems sores and not at their achieve
ments? And why cannot poor Poe rest in
his grave but the ghouls must be always
tearing the tired heart afresh ~
