The London Adoertintr asks what will ho the result If Sir. Gladstone should create lifty now poors? Tim immediate eil'ect, we know, will be to carry the Irish Church bill. But there vuu be no doubt that the translation of a mau of wealth out of this troueral mass Into the peculiar atmosphere of the lbjuse of Lords has a tendency to make him a "conservative." Lord Grey began to make liberal peers. Lord Mel bourne followed hUn ; theu Lord John Russell und Lord Palmerston. The.se four Whig Premiers cre ated 123 peers In the course of the last thirty-live years. Sir Kobert Peel and Lord Di;rly, In their short ministries, created about forty. On a balance, therefore, the Whifrs have created . eighty-throe more peers than the Tories. And yet, In spite of all this, when Lord Derby lust year opposed Mr. Glad stone's Irish Church Supervisory bill, he obtained a majority of ninety live. FEMINISM.

In enu merating the artillery force of Prussia, have de clared that It conslHts of kooo guns, and that that of France is numerically luferlor. "Without entering now Into any comparisons," says the 1'atrie, "we may, perhaps, be allowed to remark that France pos sesses a total of guns, the bulk of which are new rilled cannon, or old pieces which have beeu altered, and that our artillery enjoys a very high reputation In Europe." TUB ITALIAN ARMY. A scheme has Just beeu laid befare the Italian Chamber by the Minister for War for the reorganiza tion of the Italian army. There will be au active army and a reserve. The yearly contingent will consist of three divisions the first to serve twelve years, four in the ranks, tlve on furlough, and three In reserve ; and the second ami third to serve six years only. The cavalry will sertfe five years In the ranks. 1 he first two divisions constitute the active army, and the third the reserve. The privilege of ap pointing substitutes is abolished, but exemption by payment is still to le allowed In exceptional cases. Under the new scheme the yearly contingent will consist of ss.ooo men, one-half of whom will be placed In the first division, and the entire strength of the active army will be 400,000 men, of whom 2TO,Ooo could at once be sent into tile Held In case of war. The reserve Is to consist of 198,000 men. lu order not to exceed the tlxed sum of Mu,ooo,ooo francs allowed for the military budget, the ell'ectlve strength of the army in tiino of peace is to be 178,000. TIIE TVKF PEUENKRATINO. The London correspondent of a Prussian paper describes how the turf has degeuerated in England, as well as the breed of horses. He says that not only do Prussian coach horses most sucessf ully com peto with English ones at Paris, but It has even come to pass that English dealers are In tho habit of going thither on purpose to buy up the Prussian coach horses for the English market. lie adds that much dlillculty is now experienced in mounting the English cavalry, and that if .

The Minister of the Republic of Cuba la a native of Holguln, In the Eastern Department of Cuba, now In Insurrection, and has been for many years one of the most prominent lawyers and esteemed clt'r.ens of Havana, noted not only for his professional learning and ability, but for the en lightened Interest he haa taken In all measures for developing the resources of his native conntry, and improving the condition of Ita people. He was a memlier of the Committee of Information which some time ago proceeded to Spain for the purpose of representing to the Spanish Government the true condition; and tho wants of tho Islam! of Cuba, having been elected one of the representatives of the district of Havana.

The Festival of Jutrirernnnt Celebrated Tlila lOlllll. About this very time rf the year tens of thousands of pilgrims are making their way from all parts of India to the shrine of that ;god which has the power, as they believe, to obliterate the transgressions of all who make their offerings to him In person. Jugger naut, the "lord of the world," has been worshipped m the sacred town of Pooree, In the southern part of Orissa, lying ahotrt three hundred miles from Cal cutta, for seven hundred years past, and the pilgrims constantly Increased In numbers until the year of the fatal famine, when tho whole country was strewn with the dead. Five years or so ago the attention of the English public was called to a celebration In honor of Juggernaut, within a few miles of Cal cutta, at which several natives fell or threw them selves beneath the car and were crushed to death. Of old the great festivals were never deemed com plete unless the triumphant path of the god had been stained with the blood of his worshippers. But the prlc sts dare not encourage that custom now. II a devotee flings himself dowu before the idol, the Hrahmlns cry out that it was an accident The idolatry, however, still costs hundreds of lives every year. The weak nnd sickly perish by the wayside, and a cholera epidemic usually breaks out at Pooree whin the city Is most overcrowded with pilgrims. The poor creatures are huddled together in a way which seems almost incredible to the European. The temple of Juggernaut stands In a large luclo sure In the centre of Pooree. There Is a Grecian ( lumn or black basalt In front of the principal gate brought from Kanarok. The god lives In a large tower, and about 840 persons are employed to minis ter to his supposed necessities. There is an attend ant w ho puts the idol to bed every night, another who wakes him, a third whose olhce It is to put water and a tooth-pick comfortably within his reach, a fourth to paint his eyes for him every morning, as if ho was a faded London beauty, several others to cook and give him his food, 120 dancing girls to aranse him in his heavy moments, and 8000 prlestB to wor ship him and plunder the pilgrims. All this goes on year after year Is going on in tho midst of this not month of June, while the pilgrims throng every rood which leads to the shrine. 01)1). A Wife Urlnff Knit In Chicago to Itecover Her iiuBuuna, I'rorn the Chicano Tribune, June 20, A few days since a rather peculiar matter was brought to the cognizance of the Superior Court. It was expected, of course, that there would be a public hearing, which would develop the wholo case. It would seem, however, that the service of a writ mis cauxea a subsidence or the causo of further liti gation, wherefore it is presumable that the ex parte statenimt under oath of the chief party In Interest Is true. On Tuesday a writ of habeas corpus as sued out by .Anna L. Sheldon, who sought, by the aid of t!o court, to procure the body of her husband, George 11. Sheldon. Inner application for the writ she made substantially tho following statemeut: "Anna L. Sheldon is the wife of George IL Sheldon, who is at present au invalid, suffering from a severe attack of l aralysls. That he was taken ill of said riiM-use on or about the fith day of May, 1869, at Cedar P.iipUIs, Iowa, where he was residing with his wile. At once the wife employed three competent and trustworthy physicians, who attended upon him for the space of three days after the date mentioned, at which lime they directed him to be placed in an Intane asylum, liebeiug at the time parti yderauged. Indi-rthls advice, on tho lttth day of Mav last, she caused her husband to be removed to the State Asy lum of the State of Iowa, at Mount Pleasant, she delivering him to the care of Dr. Mark Ranuey, the Superintendent, w ho Informed her that he could not then direct her as to the time which would necessarily bo expended In bringing about a recovery of the patient to his reason nnd health. Mrs. Phaldniithus left her husband at the asylum, returned to her home, and thence came to her brother's house, having it in mind to return and move her spouse from his place of duress at the earliest proper time. On the Bd day of June, lsoa. she concluded that it was time to visit Mount Plea cant to bring her husband home, whereupon sho jm mi'ii mn iii nei, ami uemg aoout to start, learned that he had already been, without her knowledge, i ciuoyed to emvtigo, ItBIhs P, Sheldon, m brother! Kavmg ascertained this fact she went to the hoard ing house, on the corner of Sangamon and Ran dolph Mreets, where the brother resided, and where her husband was at the time. She saw EUaa P. Sheldon and his wife, and requested to be allowed to see her husband, which right was denied her. But on the 3dth or May she did see her husband, at the room of Bllus P. Sheldon, his brother, but then only in the hearing and presence or the brother or his wife, aud since that date she avers that she has not been permitted to see him only when one of the relatives Is present, and then only for the length of time they choose to allow. Mrs. Sheldon avers that her husband needs the greatest care In attendance and nursing In order to restore him to health, and that she is anxious and greutly desires to have the charge and care of him. und that at her father's house there are means fit and convenient to this eml ; nevertheless, the brother refuses to allow her to have him at her home. She states, in this con nection, that prior to the illness of George II. Shel don, her husband, for some months the brother Ellas had not been friendly to George, and hud not spoken to him when they met, and that her husband greatly desires to be removed from his and bis wife's custody. GONE DOWN The sloop Martha Davis, Captain Pobiuson, of thla place, was sunk at Kldley Creek, Pa., one day this week. We believe the vessel has bcenral8ed and put on the dry dock for repairs. The sloop was being loaded with stone, the captain had gone t Philadelphia on business, his mate was absent, and it is supposed the men overloaded her. it was at lirst thought that, as the vessel was resting on tho rocky bed of the creek at low tide, a hole was pressed through her planks by the great weight of stone on board, but as, on examination, no hole was to be found, It Is now surmised that, belug over loaded, she coQld not rise with the tide, and the water therefore rose above her and flowed lu over her sides. The vessel will be ready for loading again In a few days. Milmd (Del) Mutual friend. MEDIOALi QUILFORD SPRING WATER NATURE'S GK.KAT REMEDY FOR ' DYSPEPSIA, . . .
