OUR CIRCULATION.
For the Information of Advertisers,
and others interested in knowing, we
make mention of the fact that we begin
this year with a circulation of NINE
TEEN HUNDRED copies.
Victor Emanuel, the kipg of Italy
died on Wednesday last. Prince Hubert
was at once proclaimed as his successor,
and confirmed the present ministers In
their various posts.
The London Times says: "The
stagnation in the money market, ex
ceeds anything experienced for a long
time. The rise in consols, is partly due
to Investment by banks and others hav
ing the disposal of large sums of money
which cannot be used in the way of
loan b. There seems no longer any jus
tification for the Bank of England main
taining the present rate of discount."
We suggest that the mails for local
points be carried by canal boat or on
horse back as a more speedy way to have
them reach their destination. Under
the present arrangements only the large
cities are benefited, while the smaller
towns at intermediate points get their
mails when it suits the convenience of
the officials. . Most of the time for the
past few weeks New York papers have
been received here the third day after
publication. If this is a " fast mail"
schedule give us a slow mail again for a
change.
There is now a slight prospect of
peace in Europe. Turkey has asked for
an armistice, proposing terms. Russia
has agreed to treat and it only remains
to come to an agreement. Turkey will
probably agree to anything that does not
prejudice her position in the negotia
tions for peace that must follow. If
terms are not now made, there Is little
chance to avoid a long and disastrous
war, in which England will probably
become involved.
Since the above was in type the follow
ing desputch dated the 10th inst., has
been received : " I am happy to con
gratulate your majesty upon a brilliant
' victory gained this day. General Itad
etzky has, after desperate fighting, cap
tured the whole Turkish army defend
ing the Shipka pass, consisting of forty
one battalions, ten batteries and one
regiment of cavalry. Prince Mirsky
has occupied Kezanlik.General Sehobe
leff holds Shipka."
Our Trade With England.
Washington, Jan. 7. The United
States Consul at Bradford, England, in
reply to the trade circular of the Depart
ment of State, says: Our agricultural
Implements and mechanics' tools are of
acknowledged superiority ; our roof
slates and lumber could supplant those
of Norway, now so extensively im
ported. American watches are rapidly dis
placing those of Swiss and English
make, through their superiority and
cheapness ; pork and beef are fast grow
ing in importance; the'trade in butter
and cheese is astounding, the latter be
ing sold as " Cheshire ;" importations of
lard, tallow and eggs and increasing ;
petroleum is a necessity of life, and is
enormously used. Apples are largely
shipped to England, but are too often
injured by bruises in picking and bar
reling. Potatoes, oil cake and dried and
preserved fruits are all largely Imported.
A market may be found in time for
California and Pleasant Valley wines,
which have an increasing reputation, to
be further Increased by more delicacy of
taste and greater freedom from spirit.
Mr. fe'hepard rails attention to the ef
fect of t.i rsool and dye stufTs duties In
the United States in preventing the free
competition of American woolen goods
In foreign markets. American wool is
lustreless, and the manufacturer must
import the raw material and pay the
duty thereon If ho desires to compete In
the foreign market for lustre goods.
A Fly Wheel Broken.
At Cincinnati on Monday morning
of last week while the workmen of the
Globe Rolling Mills were busily engag
ed in their respective places, an accident
occurred which resulted in a serious
manner.
From somo unknown cause the belt
flew off from the large belt-wheel, and
nil restraint thus being taken oft from
the speed of the engine, It began run
ning at a fearful rate. An effort was
made to check it, but beforo this could
be accomplished the large heavy fly
wheel flew to pieces and scattered In
every direction.
One piece, weighing several hundred
pounds, was hurled through the roof and
burled itself In the bank of the river.
Another piece of equal size, after pass
ing through the roof, fell again through
another part of the building, and struck
within two feet of one of the men.
Three men were badly hurt. The mill
was seriously damaged.
Unpleasant Experiments.
A recent suit of Ira Melendy, of Brad
ford, Vt, in which he recovered $5,000
from the town for injuries received on
the highway, was a singular one in
some respects. He claimed that his ac
cident resulted in paralysis of his legs,
so that these were as if dead as far as
movement and feeling were concerned.
The efforts of the defense were to show
that he was shamming, and so medical
experts were called, pins stuck Into his
legs, cuts made and ammonia applied
and ether given, yet he never winced
and his muscles never contracted. Borne
of the physicians testified that such a
paralysis as was claimed was an impos
sibility, but the jury didn't believe that
a man could have nerve enough to stand
Buch tests if there was any feeling in
the parts experimented upon. He will
probably have to go through all this
again, though, for the defense have ap
pealed. A Counterfeiter Arrested.
Hazletox, Pa., Jan. 0. Doinlneck
McGlinn, of this place, was arrested for
passing counterfeit money five dollar
bills on the bank of Hanover, Pa. In
default of bail the prisoner was held for
a further hearing.
A gang of counterfeiters has been
operating In this section for several
weeks and have succeeded in passing a
considerable amount of the spurious
money, principally on the First national
bank of Tamaqua, the Third national
bank of Buffalo and the Hanover
national bank. The counterfeits are
well executed and have deceived even
some of the hank oftlclals.
Not Easily Scared.
A large number of people assembled
in Alphonsus' Catholic Church, Wheel
ing, W. Va., after morning service on
Sunday to witness a maniage. The
priest had commenced the ceremony
when smoke was discovered issuing
from the ceiling. The couple glanced
up and calmly told the clergyman to
proceed, which he did, and the two were
soon united. A piece of the celling
cracked and fell, causing a general stam
pede, in which several persons were
slightly injured. The flames were soon
subdued, but not until damage to the
extent of $1200 had been occasioned.
An Old Lady Murdored.
Dover, N. II., January 9. Mrs.
Mariam Berry, of New Durham, a
highly respectable widow lady of sixty
five years, was shot and instantly killed
this afternoon in her own house by Jno.
L. Pinkham, who had been employed
by her to do some chopping and. for
payment of which there had been some
dispute. Tickham then fled. He was
soon after found half a mile down the
road with his throat cut, it is thought
not futully. He is supposed to have
been under the influence of liquor.
Singular Railroad Accident.
Near Pittsburgh on Monday night a
lady was struck in the back while sleep
ing in her house by the bumper of a car,
which had run off" the track into the
building. She was thrown across the
room against a hot stove. Timely assist
ance saved the woman from death and
the building from destruction by fire.
Death From a Cat Bite.
The Alla:ewn Chronicle of a late date
says : This morning.at 10 o'clock, the fu
neral of the unfortunate little girl .Laura
Desch, took place at Macunle. It will
be remembered that she was bitten some
time ago by a pet Maltese cat, from the
effects of which she died on Sunday eve
ning last. The funeral was a large one,
the Sunday school of which she was a
member following her remains to the
grave.
The Tax on Whiskey end Tobneco.
Washington, Jan. 0. A movement
is on foot in favor of the bill of Repre
sentative ItobbliiB of North Carolina for
a reduction of the tobacco tax from 24
to 12 cents a pound, and spirituous
liquors from 00 to 40 cents a gallon. The
amendment offered by Representative
Cabell allows a drawback of the tax on
all tobacco which manufactures may
have on hand when such proposed re
duction goes Into effect. A committee
of the tobacco manufactures of Danville
and the surroundingcountry in Virginia
are here to support the amendment.

tion of the trade from St. Louis, New
York,Baltlmore,Chlcngo, Detroit, Louis
ville, and other cities, In formal session
on Saturday, and will have a hearing
before the Committee of Ways and
Means early next week. All are repre
sented as favoring Robbing's bill, pro
vided Cabell's amendments be adopted,
as it is an important ' feature affecting
this industry.

Adjutant-General's Department about
$700,000 will be required to pay the
troops called out to suppress the riots
and other expenses arising from them.
Between $70,000 and $80,000 have al
ready been paid the military, three

with fear and trembling waited for her

that wont to the depth of his soul. She
asked him how much he earned a week.

tT A Belfast, Maine, letter snys : It
is almost impossible for an unknown man
to see the inside of a country farm-house,
even in the day-time, in tbe absence of
the male members of the family. This
state of things has been brought about
by that nuisance, the tramp.- The doors
are kept fastened, aod the house has a
deserted appearance. In fact, the women
in their husband's absence are in constant
fear.
l& Henry Thurston of White Creole,
Texas, who stands seven feet six inches
high, thinks he is the tallest man in the
Union, lie is well proportioned, as strong

Hlnce the change In Its proprletorsh'p (which
took place May Itt, lS7i) "The World'' hat be

tertaining. Interesting, bright, decent, fair and
truthful. It does wrong wittingly to no man, no
creed, no Interest and no party. THE WOULD
believe the Democratic party to exist for the
good of the public service. It does not believe
the public service to exist for the good of the
Democratic partv.
THE WORLD believes the Enemy of Mankind
may be trusted to attend to his particular busi
ness of stirring up strife. It therefore seeks to
promote peace on earth and good-will among
good men.
THE WORLD believes that even the Moon has
two sides. It therefore gives every honest mail
credit for supposing himself to be rlgbt.no mat
ter how wrong it muv bold him to be.
THK WOUI.D believes far. sulllclent unto each

It quite unnecessary to embitter existence to day

TltiC WOULD balieves there was some sense In
the old superstition according to which every
day's fortune was colored by the first objects seen
In the morhinic. It therefore thinks that to lay
on a man's breakfast. table a sheet full of unclean
tilings, angry words personal squabbles and
political spites l about as likelya way to proplta
tinir his good will as to put spiders into his collee.
THE WOULD believes that " man the hermit"
Is not to be misled without the supervising and

holds that a public journal which fails to attract
attention and enlist the support of the women of
the community, will neither gain the public con
