An electric shock thrilled my whole being. I remember mechanically putâ€" ting my hand ,in my bosom for the tiny dagger I had carried there of late. Then followed a long, dreary blank. They say I murdered Claude Gris- wold that night, Pearl, and returned to (the parlor with my white party dress stained with his life-b00101, telling Evangeline of the dagger Iliad left in his heart. They thought at first, that I had killed them both, for they found Ora Hammond in a deathâ€"like swoon. I was taken to the asylum soon after, where I_remained for three years. And for, two years Evange~ line watched over me constantly, and "then she went home to God. She died Without knowing why I had kill- ed Claude Eriswold. She tho’t it was bceause I loved him too. And think, Pearl, what she forgave me for she died of a broken heart. But I know she has forgiven me, for often in my dreams, 1569 her angel face looking upon me, and her eyes beam with the same tender love light as in our school- days. One year after her death my reason returned, and I begged the privilege of her friends of erecting a monument to her memory. It bears this inscriptionâ€"â€" Who has forgiven and waits at the gate. There in the 01d church-yard it stands to-day, at the head of that moss-grown grave ; and soon, very soon, little Pearl, there will be another grave, and side by side we shall rest at last. My story of Evangeline is finished, and now I will tell you of Annie, (your mother 110W, dear.) When she was eighteen years old she met Philip Ver- She had a lover, as most girls do, and the Summer after they were 011- gaged. Ora. Hammond, a distant rel- ative of Evangeline, came to spend the Summer with her, and I who was naturally distrustful of people, closely watched the lover and friend, and soon saw what Evangeline did not, that Claude Griswold had fallen des- perately in love with the stately Om. One night in early Autumn Evan- geline gave a party in honor of the guest, who was SL101] to return home. Of course I went. But having aburn- ing headache, soon escaped to the garden hoping that the night air would lessen my pain. As I was pas- sing the harbor I heard Claude Gris- wold’s voice, snd obeying a sudden impulse I stopped. These words reached my ears. “Om, Why do you hesitate ? I love you better than life. I have never cared for Evangeline Pane, and never can.” I will speak first oi Evangeline Fane, our queen. A tall, slender girl, with rather a. spirtudlc face. Her mother was it widow, and Evangeline an only child. She was also the only heir to the vast Fane estate; so, to Evangeline, the future seemed very bright. BY LINA GREY. It is a long time child, nearly fifty years, since we four girls wended our way, day after day, to the 01d acade- my, and took our seats in that corner which was looked upon by our aged Professor as the source of all the mis- chief that orlginated in the Academic degartpent. V Next came Anme Jordan, the daugh- ter of a well-to-do farmer; and May Arnold, our beauty and flirt, the only daughter of a hard-workmg mechan- ic.’ Then, last of all, came myself, the wildest and most sinful of any. I was motherless, and had no loving voice, no gentle hand to teach me how to live. Little Pearl, Ithink I will begin now and tell you the story of our lives separately, that you may understand more clearly the life of each. I will tell you first of Evangeline Fans. She was my seat-mate, my bosom friend. Child, 1 cannot describe my love for her ; it was the purest thing in my wild nature. And it was not a schoolâ€"girl love, for as I grew to we- manhood I looked upon her as some- thing holy and good, that I must shield from sorrow. \Ve shared our joys and sorrows together, and so sure as one bright head was bowed on the desk in grief, two pairs of sunny blue eyes and one pair of brown looked into each other inquirineg for a moment, and straight- way three hands penned this ques- tion : Our school-days ended only too soon, and each one began life for her- self. We had our triumphs over each other as all girls do ; but we loved each other dearly all the same. “May, what is the matter P” I think it was her more often than any of the others. Nearly all May’s troubles came to her in her girlhood. She has seen but little since. I often think of those days thankfully, for they were the brightest of my life. Ah, how very little did. I shield her, anghoyv yerx much I gave her! W a go our ways in life too much alone, \Ve hold ourselves too far from all our kind Too often we are deaf to sigh and moan, Too often to the weak and helpless blind, Too often when distress and want abide, We turn and pass upon the other side. The other side is tredden smooth,and worn By footsteps passing idly 8.11 the day, Where lie the bruised ones who faint and mourn, 1s seldom more than an uutroddcn wuy.‘_ Our selfish hearts are to our fee\ the guideâ€" '1‘hey lead us all too oft upon the other side. It should be 0111's the oil and wine to pour Into the bleeding wounds of stricken ones, To take the smitten, the sick and sore, And hear them where the stream of blessing runs. Instead we look aboutâ€"tho way is Wide, And so we pass upon the other side. Oh, friends and brothers, gliding down the yo ms, Humanity is culling each and. all In tender accents, born of cries and tear. I pray you. listen to the thrilling cullâ€" You cannot, in your selfish pride, Guiltloss pass upon the other side. EVANGELINE, THE OTHER SIDE FOUR- GIRLS. In RIG/Holy of A munificcnt gift has been made to Lan- caster by Ald. Williamson, who is obliged to leave England for the benefit of his health. lie has offered to purchase forty acres of land on Lancaster moor, and t0 spend not less than £10,000 in converting it into a public park for the benefit of the inhabitants of the town, Besides this, he proposes to, At Bow Street Mr. Flowers, the presiding magistrate, mentioned an instance of recent occurrence in which a person who described himself as a “head schoolmaster,” but “whose letter displayed a remarkable ignorance of spelling and English compom- lion,” had refused to answer some queasions that were put to him because the clerk had addressed him as “Mr.” instead of “Esquire.” non, a young lawyer of Fremont. I think his case was love at first sight, for he seemed to love Annie from the first time he met her. I do not won- der at that Pearl, for your mother was very beautiful at the age of eighteen. In telling you this story you will learn my sorrowful romance. For even I had one. Annie never loved Philip Vernon, but I did. He never knew ‘it, nor did Annie, until, in the three lost years of my life, I imagined him near me, and, calling him by every endearing name, would entreat him to take me to Evangeline. Then, for the first time, Annie guessed my lheart sorrow, Four parents, whose children had been at- tending {£11001 irregular in Leamington, after cautions from the school attendance officer,1mve been fined in small penaltie.-, and the Bench intimated their determinatio to enforce the Act, so as be secure for every ehilda. good elementary education. At theMagistrMeQuarter Sessions, the Re- corder, Mr. Frederick J umcs Smith, gave expressions to the opinion that grand juries were now of very little use, because, owing to the notice taken by the press of magisterial inquiries, magistiaxes were exceedingly care- ful as to committing persons for trial. Sir Tollemache Sinclair, M. P., has, in a letter to Mr. Trail‘. of 1mm; intimated to “he Liberal Committee of Caithuess that he will remain at. his post as the representative of the constituency till the next dissolution of Parliament, but thathe shall then “finally bid adieu to political ‘ife in every shape and form.” The marriage of the Duke of Norfolk is expected to be one of the most splendid aflairs ever seen in England. It is several hundred years since a Duke of Norfolk was married as aduke, and it will be the first time on which the nuptials of an Earl 1‘, ar- shal of England have been celebrated. It is reported in London that Thomas Wainwright has just died in prison, and that he has left a, confession to the effect. that he shot Harriet Lane, for the murder of whom his brother Henry was hanged in December, 1875. The death is announced of a distinguished Welsh clergyman, the Rev. Charles Wil. hams, D. 1)., principal of Jesus College, Oxford, after a somewhat short illness. Dr Williams graduated at Jesus College in 1827, when he gained first.cluss honours in classics. ' The SCUtb'Illbe status that Sir 110w Craw- ford P011011, Baronet of that ilk, was, at the J. T. Court, Pollokshuws, fined £1 or ten days’ imprisonment, for using abusxve, threatening,and obscene language to three females residing on his estate. He pleaded not guilty, but was convicted. The criminal and judicial stutistics of he land for the year 1876, just issued, show that crime has diminished in Ireland for six years in succession, namely, from 9,515 con- victions in 1870, to 6,261in 187G. The British cavalry regiments are in future to have properly qualified pioneers attached to them, whose duty it will be to destroy bridges, and earth-works in the absence of infantry, and in every way harass the move- ments of the enemy. You have known 1101' all you life Pem'l»â€"â€"Mrs.-Goneml Montague was our May. She will soon be your mother-iu-lww, and then you will know her still better. Nay, Pearl, you need not blush. Guy Montague is well worthy of you. A labourer in Samersetshire has just been fined 5s and costs for keeping a “pet” Color- ado beetle. The promoters of Sunday public-house closing were unable to obtain a hearing at a public meeting in l’outefract. Three years after your mother’s marriage you were born. I was with her at the time, and she allowedme to ohoose your name. You were chris- tened Evangeline F., but, I have al- ways called you “little Pearl," though only the dead know Why. And now you ask “What became of May Ar- nold ‘2” Soon after leaving sehOol, May spent the winter with :L wealthy cous- in in Philadelphia, where she was a great belle. Finally she met and lov- ed Gordon Montague, and as the feel- ing was mutual, {L happy marriage soon followed, Since then, May’s life has been one dream of happiness, Andmy story is finished. Youvwanted me to tell you {L true love story. I have told you the heart history of four girls; and, in doing so, have told you the romance of my sorrowful life. I have been an old woman for years. I shall soon be at rest. I have nothing to live for. My father and. my noble brother have been inIIeaven with my mother, many, many years, and I shall soon be at rest. I have wealth, Pearl, and after I am gone, all that is mine shall be yours. Now good-night, child, leave me alone with my dead past. Good night and God keep you, Evangeline, my Pearl. When Philip learned that Annie could never be his wife, he sailed for France, hoping to drown his sorrow in new scenes. The vessel in which he sailed was wrecked, and he never came back. I do not think Philip Vernon could have cared for me if he had not loved Annie. But she has always seemed to blame herself f0: my sorrow. And now you knew why it is, that sometimes, when she enters my room, and finds me looking out over the dark blue sea, in which the one bright dream of my life is buried, she speaks to me so tenderly, calling me her “darling Nellie,” as if we were girls again. New Zealand farmers complain that the sparrows imported from England are ravag- ing the crops. Nne year after Philip’s death, she was married to your noble father, and she has never had reason to regret the choice. GENERAL NEWS.

The Liverpool Post says that the presence in the streets of Liverpool of numbers of drunken men is creating a new and profitable department of thievish enterprise. Way- Laying inebriates is now regarded as an oe- oupation of itself, and several experts have recently had the misfortune to fall into the hands of the police. On Monday two young roughs, who had been previously convicted, were sentenced to three months’ imprison- ment on charges of frequenting the streets for this purpose. Says the St. Catharines Daily Review, Oct. Slst zâ€"A Welland canal firm brought their pretty book-keeper in court yesterday to prove a. transaction. She wone a joeky hat, and a. splendid suit throughout, and she won her case. That Welland canal firm evidently knows the temper of the bar of St. Catherines.

The supply is to be got from North Well, at a. cost of a. million and a quarter, and the interest upon “his large amount would be paid without additional taxation of the ratepayers, and would be met by the saving of waste water in the borough, estimated at £50,000 per annum. Imense quantities of grain of all kinds have been coming into Aylmer, county 01 Elgin, lately. It is said that the Canadian barley trade has received a new impetus, in consequence of the direct shipment 01 that grain to Eng- land in large quantities. The work of laving down the gas pipes in the village of Ashburnham (near Peterborâ€" ough) has been completed, and Ashburnham now boasts of six gas lamps. At a meeting of the Berks Court of Quarter Sessions 811‘ Warwick Morshead drew attention to the difficulty of obtaining the admission of juvenile criminals to refor- matory schools. Mr. Walter, M.

Sir Robert was travelling with a. return ticket which was not available on Sunday, and would not leave the carriage when asked. to do so. He was then lifted out. The Sherifi decided against the baronet, holdingthat no unneces‘ sul‘y violence had been used. The ex-Empress of the French and the Prince lmperiak were extremely popular dur- mg then stay in Cowes. The former walked about without the slightest ceremony, charm ing every one as she yrs-eminently can.

LONDON, Oct. 27.â€"â€"The Paris corresponv dent of the Times telegraphs that he believes President MacMahon has fallen under the influence of those determined to resist the will of the nation, but the Cabinet is divided about how fur such resistance ought to be carried. The Duke de Maeux, and de Cuzes, Gen Berthault, and M. de Meeux, might go as far as a second dissolution of the Depu- ties, but if the Senate refused this, they would resign. The others dream of estab- lishing a Dictatorship, but it is not believed President MacMahon will follow them that far. Well-informed Conservatives think the majority of the Cabinet will be pleased to have the Senate refuse a second dissolution, and thereby offer them an opportunity to bow to the will of the Senate instead of the Deputies. The correspondent adds, “If such is really the idea. of the Government, 1 think the Senate will be disposed to facilitate their retreat.” A very interesting case was tried at the recent London assizes. An action was brought by an old man named John ‘McAr thur against Thomas Eggleston to recover possession of 100 acres of land in the town. ship of Ekfrid. The plaintiff is much in the position of Enoch Arden. He was one of the early settlers in Ekfrid, but on the California emigrant fever breaking out in 1847, he suddenly leit his home and went off there to push his fortunes as a miner, leaving a Wife and two children behind on the farm. After two years’ absence his wife received word that he had died, and marrieu again witha man named Wm. Davidson, who went to reside on the lot. He mort- gaged it to a building society. and not be rug able to meet his payments when due was ejected hya legal process, and a quit claim deed was secured by the company, on pay- ing one of McArthur’s daughters the sum of @500. The business stood in this way till about-six months ago when Mcnrthur sud denly reappeared at his old home to find that his wife had married and had seven children by her new husband, that his land nad been made away with, and. everything different from the way he had left it thirty years before. He brought suit to regain his property. The case was tried without a jury. His‘Lordship gave judgment for the plamtifl. The grounds upon which this judgment were given were that McArthm' was the lawful husband of the woman and ad done nothing to vitiate his right to the property which she had remained in pos- session of. Mr. Rock, Q. 0., appeared for plaintiff. Mr. MaoMahon, Q. 0., for de- fendant, gave notice of appeal. The Franc-ids, the Due de Broglie’s organ, yesterday stated that the Ministers were pre- pared to meet the chambers and defend their policy, but at the same time were ready to resign should President MacMahon think it his duty to summon other counsellors. The Francnisg today explains that this did not mean President MacMahon was disposed to capitulate to the Left. The Constitutional and Pays, however, assert that MacMahon has accepted the resignation of the Cabinet in principle but permitting Ministers to re- tain their posts, pending his decisions. The Pays adds that Saturday’s Council was some- What excited, the President declaring he in- tended to enter upon a path of compromise and a conciliatory policy. Due de Broglie and M. Fourton supported h_is eourse. The Arthur Enterprise announces the ab- sconsion of Hugh 0. Mainland, of the firm of Mainland & Kirk, general merchants. Slight financial difficulties appear to be the cause of his departure. Our contemporary says :-â€"â€"“.lt appears that Mr. Mainland went directto Louisville, Ky., from which place letters have been received from him. As soon as word reached here as to his where abouts, Capt. gWoods, to whom he (Main- land) is indebted, we understand, to the amount of about $400, went in pursuit of him. Capt. Wood saw him and says he is filling a position or trust in a wholesale house in the above mentioned city. Main- land has always been very highly respected in this vicinity :ever since he came here, some five or six yeare ago, and was leading salesman in Mr. Draper’s store for some years. We believe him yet to be a sterling young man, and, notwishstanding this rash act, do not think he will defraud any person out of a cent if it is _within his power to avoid it. He is of a very ambitious temper- ament, and was probably over-aux ions to drive a large trade while money was. tight ; the firm have carried a heavy stock, and be, perhaps, became perplexed as to how he wa: going to meet his engagements, and conclud- ed that his safest alternative was to leave for parts where the woodbine twineth. IL is much to be regretted that a useful citizen shouldleave us;in such agmanner ; but, as Wb said before, we have not lost confidence in Hugh Mainland yet.” FRESH Tmmas or Tm: FATE 01: ms Ewan TION. NEW YORK, Oct. ESLâ€"Thomas Barrett, of the whaling barque Houghton, lost in Hud- son’s Bay June, 1876, has arrived here with a silver spoon bearing Sir John Franklin‘s crest. which he obtained from an Esquimaux Indian. The latter told Barrett that the ship from which the snoon was obtained was crushed by ice at an island near Cape Hal- lawell, and that the natives took the crew to near Cape Englefield, and kept them :until one by one they perished from cold, hunger, or disease. Barrett says the natives about his winter quarters at Marble Island had two other spoons, one with the Franklin crest and the other having “S. S. S.” engraved on it. These were purchased by the United States Consul at St. John. The Esquimaux say the vessel became a total wreck. Sir John Franklin was with them, and they re- cognized him as the leader. The white men who died were buried by them. The most important fact they communicated was that this crew of whites left a lot of books with writing in them, which were buried also at Englefield. This spot is about 9000 miles inland, and has not yet been reached by any exploring parties. It is proposed to fit out an expedition from New York in the spring to secure those records.

Grand Duke Nicholas has inspected the battlefield at Gorny Dubtinsk. The troops are elated by their victory. The Russian Erzeroum is preparing for n, seige. The inhabitants are arming, and reinforcements hastening up from Trebizond. Ghazi Moukh- tar, however, reports the Russians not ad- vsnced farther than Mellidooze, on ihe west- ern slope of Lonhauli Dugh, which is more probable than the first statement. _ Gen. Zimmerman, commanding the army of the Dobrudscha, is bringing a heavy siege train from Mejidjie to be used against Silis- tria. The bombardment of Podgoritza is expect- ed soon, the Prince of Montenegro having ar- rwed at Orcluk. An Adria-nople letter of Oct. 15th states 20,000 refugee women and children are still there. The Monitcur believes the prospect for the adoption of a conciliatory policy has im- proved, but thinks the formation of a. new Cabinet will not be announced. before No‘ vember 7th. The Riissians are fortifying the positlona at Dubnik and Telische. They are threaten- ed with combined attack by Osman and Chefket Pashas. The Turkish loss at the capture of the position near Gorny Dubuik, Oct. 24th, was 4,000 killed, besides wounded and prisoners. The Russians only stormed the position. At the third attempt they assertgthe Turks twice lured them under a destructive fire with a White flag. The Frmu'ais asserts President MacMahon will not sacrifice the functionaries appointed in consequence of the coup of May 16th, and the Conservatives may count on his keeping hierpromises. The Monitem' states President MacMahon is disposed to try a Ministry of the Right, supported by a. majority of the Senate, but if fihls plan fails, he would appeal to the leaders of the majority in the Chamber of Deputies [he Ministry of the Right would be merely charged to carry on the Administration. A PARIS, Oct.31.â€"â€"The Republiquc lv‘rancaisc says the pxesent crisis must be terminated. or we shall be drawn into the most terrible of catastrophes, civil war. A Paris correspondent says ths Duke d’Aumale has written to President MacMa- hon protesting against the report that he is a. candidate for the Presidency. A Paris correspondent telegraphs that Mr Grevy since his return here on Tuesday re- fused, despite all persuasions. to put him- self forward as a candidate for the Presidency. This does not mean, the would refuse the Presidency if President MaaMahon should resign, but that he considers his accession after the expiration of the Marshal’s term would be more advantageous to the Repub- .ioans than the premature ousting of the Marshal. Guyot Montpayroux, editor of the Courier de France, has become insane in cnosequenc‘ ut Boliticg} excitement. PARIS, Nov. 2.â€"â€"â€"Victor Hugo‘s organ, Le Rappcl, says many Republican Senators anu Deputies have arrived. Although no formal meetings have been held; there have been fre- quent eonsuletions. There have been no nego nations or overtures for a compromise with the men of 16th of May. In conversation uetween members of the Repubiican party mum is contingencies were discussed, al though no resolution has yet been taken. IL the event nil President MacMahon’s retire- ment, M. Grevy’s candidacy will be uneni» mously supported. Should President Mec- Mehon retain his post with a. Republican Ministry, the unanimous opinion prevails that more effective guarantees must be re- quired than in the case of the previous Min- istries. Members of the Committies of the Left in the late Chamber will meet on Mon- day to resolve upon the course of the party. According to semi-official statements, the Ministers are all agreed either to meet the Chamber of Deputies,or if President Mac~ Mahon desires, to resign before it assembles. M: Pouyer Qhertier had. an interview with the President. Tno interview 18 supposed to refer to the formntlon of a. Ministry of aha Right. It is reported the Ministry has decided to be governed in its course by the result of the elections for council-general. It is stated Sunday‘s elections will make little difference in the present political status. Most of the outgoing councillors Will be re-elected. Details of the affairs at Gorny Dubnik and Telische make it certain that they are not more than mere raids on Turkish communi- cations, that in fact they are parts of a new Russian movement, involving an entire change of front, which is still further devel- oped by the transfer of the ltoumanians to Bagot. Telische was surrounded on the 28th by one cavalry, two infantry brigades, and a brigade of Cossacks. It was bombarded for forty-two hours from seventy-two guns and surrendered. There was no assault.

New Yonn, Nov.1.â€"The return of Oakey ‘Hall is as mysterious as his disappearance last March. No one appears to know how he came. His first appearance to his friends was at the residence of his old partner, A. J. Vandorpool, with whom he breakfasted and engaged in quite a lengthy conversation. His family had not been apprised of his in- tended return, and were astonished at his coming. A few intimate friends called upon him, but the greater part of the day was. spent in rest, which he appeared to need. Hall declares he cannot explain his sudden departure. His remembrance of the first part of his journey is very indistinct. He had no idea of where he was going or his reason for the act. Ho saws :â€"I can now understand how prisoners on trial for mur der may put in the plea of insanity justly. how a. man may knowingly commit a crime and yet not be responsible for it. Ho states that while in London he wandered aboul, not realizing where, and remembered fre quently visiting Westminster Abbey, which was afavorite resort for him. He also re collects taking a great interest in sermons by a celebrated London minister. Hall corrob- orates the statements of his friends that they were entirely ignorant of his intended departure. His leaving, Hall positively says, was not attributable to the “ring” troubles. His mind and brain had no doubt been afâ€" fected by many troubles. His appearance has not changed very much during his ab- sence, and it is thought that With a few day’s rest and quiet he wrll again be able to appear in public. HE ltm'ums AS stmmousm‘ AS HE WENT. Maw YORK, Nov. 1.â€"â€"TheEvcning Telegram states that Oakey Hall has returned. and gives a report of a. brief interview with him. He says no person knew of his leaving, that he had not ior a. long time prior been him- self, and the ring troubles had nothing prox- imately to do with his absence.

The Russian success in the rear of Plevna are evidently producing consternation m Cogstgntjnopk. H The Governor of Bosnia informs the Ports that members of the Provisional Govern- ment are now in Austria, and requests their internment. Russian emissaries have excit- ed another insurrection on .the Austro-Bos- nia frontier. AV1enna special says the uneasiness at. Constantinople about Ghazi Osman Pasha’s arm) is not groundless. True, there are roads in the direction of Widdin and Venat- 29, which do not appear to have been closed, but these are of little avail for supplies and poor substitutes for the Sofia road in cues of a. retreat from Plevna. While there were only detachments 01 Russian cavalry ranging west of the Vid and all important points on the road were held by the Turks, a retreat could be effected with tolerable fa cility, but now, with the Muscovite army in the rear of Plevna and on the most direct line of retreat, e retiring movement by other routes becomes rather doubtful. A Russian official despatoh says the total number of prisoners oavtured at Dubnik and Telische was 7,000, including two Pashas, 200 officers, and an English Colonel in the .l‘urkish service. After the victories at Dub- nik and Telisohe, the Russian scouts ap- proached Radiamirze, and Ghevket Pasha. with twelve oattalions. fled from there with- out waiting to destroy the bridge, which is now intact in our hands. Our cavalry is pursuing Chevket Pasha. r It is oflioielly announced at Constantino- ple that 126,795 men are to be immediately called out for active service. The majority of these are members of the reserve. The draft will leave 333,412 registered members of the reserve. A considerable force of the Russians has concentrated in Haign-Boghaz pass.

The Russians are in force near Musabey, and threaten Bazard- Jik; ' The Hungarian Government refuse to sur- render the raila‘ptured on the way through Hungary to Boumnnia, on the ground that the}; wage contraband of ‘war. Chevket Pasha’s advance to retake Telische was defeated after several hours’ engagement by the Russians at Radomirze, and he fled in the greatest disorder. Plevna. is now com- pletely invested. 7 It appears from in Bucharest telegram that an efforts is bean-g made to gain possession of the Plevna and Ruhova, road. The Run manian force between the Rivers Vid anu Iskra made a. recounoisance along the Dan- ube in the direction of Ruhova. At deeu they found a Turkish detachment occupying earthworks. After a. brief cannonede the Turkish magazine exploded and the garrison retreated in the direction of Rahova. Twenty battalions of Turks have taken up a position at Kurudjudik, neat De'vebeyun. [‘he Russians are advancing by way of 0m to turn Erzeroum. In oflicigl circles Mukh- tar Pasha’s position is conmdered critical, bufi not dgspeyate. Apropos of 9116 telegram saying Mukhtar Pashs’s position is critical, a late correspon- dent expelled from his army states if Mukh tar reaches the Deveboynes, the crest of the range 2,000 feet high, and throws 25,000 men into the works constructed there, he can -1efy any attack. Erzereum is not a very rormidable fortress, but has been put in an improved state of defence. The city, how- ever, is unhealthy, typhus having prevailed all summer, and is besides inadequately pro visioned as far as the citizens are concerned, the Government having seized all the store,- or the use of the troops. The correspondent aisbelieves the report that the commandant of Kars entered into negotiations for a sur- render. The town is plentifully supplied with ammunition and victuals, and if the garrison 15 as large as it was in April it is safe. The garrison in April numbered sbout14,000 and is now 10,000. The Russians carried a. Turkish position at Telische, west of Plevna. A Pasha, several ofiiccrs, seven companies of Turks, mg tlgree pgmnons were captured. Bielowski, 9.

Eight thousand regular troops, all now re- maining in Constantinople, have been orderâ€" ed to the front. The attack on Telisohe, simultaneously with the capture of Dubnik was 3.000. Every brigade and regimental commander was killed or woundei, and as nearly all oflicers of the Guards are personally known at head- quarters, the fact has cast a deep gloom over members of the staff.

A Berlin correspondent says preparation.» seem to be making in various quarters with a, view to the restoration of peace in the event of a. decisive Russian victory at Plevna. England is sounding the Powers as to the practicability of future mediatwn on the basis of the programme of the late Constantinople Conference.

An attempt was made on September 29th to assassinate President Barrios, of Guateâ€" mala, by Felix Pajes, a fanatical preist. The President was dining alone in the town of San Pedro J acopilas. The pliest entered and fired a shot from his pistol, which mused. The President closed With him. A servant entered and shot the would-be assassin dead. Such as have virtue always in their mouth, and neglect it in practice, are like a. harp which emits a sound pleasing to other. while its own body is wholly insenainle to the music produced. Mental pleasures nova uloy. Unlike those of the body, they are incre’ased by repetition, approved of by reflection, and. strengthened by enjoyment. As the Turks were evacuating Hassan- Kaleh on Tuesday night, the Russians sur- prised their rear guard, capturing two battal- ions. The Russian loss was insignificant. The Turks now occupy a. formidable position at Deveboyun. Two hundred and fiftv persons perlshed in the High Blantyre colliery explosion. A Lima correspondent reports the death of Professor Orton, of Vassar College, about Sept. 24m, while crossing Lake Titiccuoa, en route for Dlma. The Professor had been for some time in Bolivia, and the latest advices were that he proposed visiting the River I Beni, which for some reason he decided to ‘ relinquish, and was on his way home. It is supposed malaria] fever caused his death. The body was interred on a. littleisland with- in gunshot of the port of Puua. A feliciLy that costs pain gives double content. There few men who, were they certain of death on their seventieth birthday, would think of preparation. To-morrow may be the gate of an eternity, and they go on in their folly.

Puffiug sells many a. book on which the paper-knife remses to do its office. Men usually follow their wishes till sufler- ing compels them to follow their judgment. The sleep of memory is not its death ; for- gotten studies are certain aptitudes gone to sleep. Error.â€"~There is a. wonderful vigor of con- stitution in a popular fallacy. When the world has once got; hold of a lie, it is aston- ishing how hard it is to get. it out of the world. Field Marshal Bax on Frederick Von Wran- gel, of the Prussian army is dead. TheElectoral Commissioner of uas been elected President of the Panama. Nothing but a gool life can fit men for a. better one. Money IS well spent in purchasing tranquil- ity of mind. Be always at leisure to do good; never make business an excuse to declme ofi‘lces ofnumamty. Dignity is expensive, and without other good qualities, is not particularly profits.- ble. We have seen a prudent, industrious wife retrieve the fortunes of a family when her husband pulled at tho other end of the rope. If a man be gracious and courteous to strangers, it shows he is a citizen of the world, and that his heart is no island out off from other hearts, but a continent that joins them. Fidelity.â€"We oflen seem to imagine that the property of the mind resembles the pro- perty of sea-water, and loses all its deleter- ious particles when once it is firmly frozen. The intellect of the truly wise man is like aglassâ€"it admits the light of heaven, and reflects it. An able man show his spirit by geutfe words and resolute actions; he is neither hot nor timid. He who is puffed up with the first gale of prosperity, will bend beneath the first blast of adversity. The incapaclt y of men to understand each other is one of the principal causes of their ul-tempet towards each other. With love, the heart becomes a fair and fertile garden, glowing with sunshine and warm hues, and exhahng sweet odors. A great secret of education is to make the exercises of the body and those of the mind serve always as a recreation to each other. Man 'wastes his mornings in anticipating 1113 afternoons, and wastes his afternoonsm regretting his mornings. ' Zealous men are ever displaying to you the strength of their belief, while judicious men are showing you the grounds of it. Tnose who excel in strength are not most fikeiy to snow contempt in weakness. A man does not despise the weakness ofa onud. When a. woman smiles at an affront, one of two things are certain. She has either lost all modesty, or she is assured of her revenge. Cities force growth, and make men talka- tive and entertaining, but they also make them artificial. Friendship is the medicine for all misfor- tunes, but ingratitude dries up the fountain of all goodness. Make no more vows to perform this or that; it shows no great strength, and m'akes thee ride behind thyself. We love much more warmly by cherishing the intention of giving pleasure than an hour afterwards when we have given it. Wisdom.â€"The chief properties of wisdom are to be mindful of things past, careful »» of things present, wad. provident of things to come. Never plead guilty to poverty. So far as this world is concerned, you might 4)etter admit thntyou are a villain. PERSONAL ITEMS LAUONICS Correoso State of
