Jupiter and Mars in adverse aspect
during the early hours of the day give
those who order their lives ACCORDING
to the guidance of the stars reason TO
be cautious in business dealings and
in controlling their words as well as
acts. Mercury in friendly sway gives
encouragement for the evening hours.
The kindly aid Of Mercury presages
success for business affairs that de-
pend on contracts or leases signed
while the planet is helpful. The late
hours are fortunate also for those
who write. Editors and publishers
should benefit.
Under this configuration it is well
to guard against hasty decision or
impulsive actions.

In question would ovontuate In fresh
complications she could use to her adj
vantage through tho interest OF the
powers in preventing general Euro
pean war from evolving from tho

refuge of tho Porte. The city is the
chief commercial centre of Anatolia.
II was captured by the ottoman Turks
in 1856, and was tho capital and bu-
rial place OF the Sultans from that
time until Amurath removed the seat
OF empire to Adrianoplc.
AS we have indicated. the statement
in the "uncensorcd" dispatch may not
be founded on immediate fact, but 1t
carries most interesting and signih-
cant suggestions. Coming coinciden-
tally with the two new evidences of
the dashing of Turkish hope we have
cited, it suggests that at last the Porto
