--
As kt it la not decided whether
peace or war is to be the fate of Europe.
Kussla seems to have hauled in her
horns a little, and if England does not
find some other flaw to pick at there Is
a fair prospect for a diplomatic settle
ment of the trouble. Germany is ap
parently favorable to such a course,
while Austria seems to favor the Eng
ligu view of the case. At any rate some
positive decision must soon be arrived
at, as it impossible for the present aspect
of aftiiirs to continue long.

man this afternoon completed the nego
tiations for placing $50,000,000 of four

to the redemption of the six per cent,
five-twenty bonds.

The Gettysburg Claims.
Washington, April 8. Assistant
Secretary French to-day made a report
to Secretary Sherman, stating that what
is known as the Gettysburg claims
should be promptly rejected by the ac
counting officers if again presented.
Mr. Sherman, in approving the report,
says, " it would be impossible for any
government to make good such losses
during war, and especially civil war, as
are here claimed. Certainly there is no
authority of law in the Treasury De
partment to pay such claims, and I
would not ask Congress to authorize it,
though entirely within the power of
that body."
A Republican Caucus at Washington.
Washington, April 10. A Republi
can caucus was held to-night in the hall
of the house of representatives. There
were present about one hundred and ten
representatives and upwards of twenty
five senators. Senators Conkling and
Blaine were not among the number.
Representative Hale, of Maine, presided,
and Representative Conger ,of Michigan,
acted as secretary. The caucus appoint
ed the national republican congressional
committees, the nomination of each
member being made by the respective
state delegation. Jacob M. Campbell
was appointed for Pennsylvania. Reso
lutions were adopted requesting office
holders to take part in conventions,
caucuses, etc.
Heavy Embezzlement.
Kali. Riveh, Mass,April 10. S. Ang
ler Chace, treasurer of the Union mills,
has confessed to the embezzlement of
$490,000 and it is probable that the mills
will be put into insolvency. The defal
cation bus been going on for a number
of years, but recently paperof the Union
mills has been scattered very freely, al
though regarded good by the banks.
The corporation is an old one,and as it
has been erecting a new mill lately, the
surplus of paper afloat did not attract
attention. Yesterday some of the paper
went to protest in Boston, New York
and other places, and It is believed large
amounts were held ia New York, Prov
idence, New Bedford and at several Bos
ton banks; besides, banks in Lowell,
Tauuton and other places have a share.
Much of the paiier has strong endorse
ments, and it is believed that between
the assets of the mills and of the direc
ors all claims wili be met.
Mr. Chace, the defaulting treasurer,
has hitherto been a man of high social
Bitlon, Is about flfty-elght years of nge,
and was a resident of Fall River since
1822. Ho was a member of the house In
1805 and of the State senate In 1807 and
1808. Besides being treasurer of the
Union mills he was president of the Sec
ond National bank and of the Five Cent
saving bank. It Is not known ns yet
what led to the defalcation.
Trying to Drive a Horse One Hundred
Miles In Ten Hours.
Recently in Brooklyn some sporting
men attempted to drive a horse one
miles within ten hours. The agreement
was thnt the horse should have three
trials, and If it failed the owner was to
pay live hundred dollars. The persons
who made the wager are said to be two
wealthy young horsemen of Brooklyn.
At 5 o'clock on Friday morning, accord
ing to the uccount, the horse was har
nessed to a sulky on the Prospect Park
race-track, and five minutes later the
driver started the animal. For (10 miles
the horse kept well ahead of time, hut
then began to tire and grow distressed.
The driver plied the whip, the owner
insisting that the pace should he kept
up. The horse's legs soon began to
swell, and frequent sponging did it but
little good. The horse was whipped up
until the seventieth mile was completed
and then it was so exhausted that it was
seen to be Impossible to finish the thirty
miles. Still the animal was urged five
miles further, when it dropped to the
ground exhausted. It Is said that when
the horse is sufficiently recovered it will
be trained up for.another trial.
A Courageous Girl.
In Syracuse, N. Y., on hist Wednes
day night, after midnight, a Miss Beach
was awakened by a noise In her room,
and soon became aware that some
body was crawling toward her bed.
She at once made a mowment to get
up, but before her feet reached the floor
she was caught by the ankle and thrown
down by the Intruder, a man who had
undoubtedly come In search of plunder.
Her outcries aroused a younger sister,
who jumped up and escaped from the
room, screaming at the top of her voice
for help. Meanwhile the elder sister
was struggling with her assailant in the
room. Her efforts were in the direction
of a pistol which she had under her pil
low, but which fell on the floor out of
her grasp before she had time to make
use of it. Then a struggle ensued for
its possession, the courageous girl finally
succeeding in clutching It. By a sudden
plunge the would-be thief freed himself
and made a precipitate exit, a bullet
whizzing in his wake, and penetrating
the door, which he pulled after him.
He succeeded in making his escape be
fore the neighbors had been aroused by
the younger sister.
Too Much Love.
Bii)DHK0iti, Me., April 0. Early this
morning a fisherman rowing down the
river discovered the body of a woman
near the shore, with no clothing save a
chemise, and with a rope around one
ankle. The body was taken in charge
by the authorities, and conveyed to the
City Hall. The greatest excitement pre
vailed all day in the city, and late in the
afternoon a sister of Frederick Savage
identified the woman as Rose Vincent,
of Methuen, Mass., and gave a clue
which, upon being followed up, led to
the arrest of Savage. This evening he
confessed the crime. Ileis a Frenchman,
is married and has children. When
asked why he did it he said, "Oh, I
loved her too much !"
The Cold Snap and the Peach Crop.
The Smyrna (Del)., " Times" says :
The ripple among the peach-growers,
caused by that northern blast, has some
what subsided, but the general opinion
is that the best paying varieties, Craw
ford, early and late, Moore, Reeve's
favorite, Stump-the-world and others,
that are called middle varieties, are
seriously injured or nearly destroyed.
The early, such as Beatrice, Hale,Troth,
York and mountain rose ; and the late,
such as Susquehanna, Crocket's white,
Smock and Salway, are not so badly in
jured, and, should no further disaster
overtake them, will produce a fair
crop.
Bishop Andrews and Women Preachers.
New Yokk, April 10. Bishop An
drews, of the New York Methodist Con
ference, has decided that the licensing
of women as preachers is against the
doctrine of Wesley. The disappointed
advocates of the new departure have
taken an appeal to the general confer
ence of Methodists of the wbolecountry
in 1KH0.

A Child Burned to Death. ,
Chkbtkh, Pa., April 11. Yesterday,
while playing with a number of other
children, Eliza Irvln, aged eight years,
was burned to death. Her clothes caught
fire In some way not explained.
Canadian Manners.
The British Government occasionally
criticises American legislation. .The
following is a sample of Parliamentary
proceedings at Ottawa, last week :
Mr. Bunster, M. P., from British
Columbia, addressed the House. His
remarks displeased M. Cheval, M. P.,
from the Maritime provinces, who, in
order to soothe his rutlled spirit, began
playing upon a Jews'-harp. Thereupon
Bunster, M. P., used naughty words,
alleging that he could punch the nose of
Cheval, M. P., in the halls of legislation
or elsewhere. By some legislation not
exactly stated the disputants adjourned,
to a corridor of the Parliament building,
where, according to the very imperfect
report of the press partly parllmentary
and partly fistic In its nature Bunster's
gestures fell upon Cheval's head, while
Cheval anticipated and prevented ton
sorlal labor on Bunster's behalf, and
neaily carried out the scalping process
of the aborigines of lower Canada. The
record is silent, as epic often is, concern
ing the final result of this parliamentary
discussion. It suggests something about
a pavement covered with blood and
hair; an atmosphere sulphurous with
adjectives ; a Parliament unceremonious
ly adjourned and profoundly interested ;
and probably employment for oculists,
tailors, wig-makers and lawyers. And
this is from the assembled wisdom of a
Dominion which finds nothing so de
lightful as hypercriticism about the
demoralizing ell'ect of Republicanism
and the errors of the United States. In
the event that British valor is hurled
against Russia, the world may look for
great things when Bunster, M. P.,
charges at odds of ten to one against the
tallow-eating Serfs, and Is hardly able
to hold the advance from the prancing
Cheval. Joaquin Miller or Bret Harte
might sing, but only Landseer could
paint such an episode as has occurred.

April 10th, 1878.
Mu. Editor i The contest between direct
ors and candidates for the onice of Superin
tendent Is not to be viewed politically nor Is It
to he hinted by any sectarian dogma, or church
Influence. The school law points out the man
and the superintendent serves the county with
out regard to party or denomination, since It Is
the people's schools he has under supervision,
and his efforts should be exerted for their ad
vancement. Should each district strive to be
served In turn by one of Its citizens, thirty times
three years would answer for once around and
the grcat-grand-chlld of the present school boy
would hear of Its return only by tradition.
The ollice belongs to the teachers and a
teacher should ba selected to All It. ('an one
be found who has for years devoted himself to
one purpose with success t he Is the person who
should be advanced when occasion presents
Itself.
The labor to be performed Is great and re
quires health and strength of body as welt as
mental discipline and although we do not ad
vocate making the ollice an Infirmary, we
contend that while we have those honorably
disabled who are worthy and efllclent, thoy
should be selected, thus enabling them to do
well for others and to benefit themselves.
We don't want to overrate nor underrate
either of the gentlemen who are applicants for
the position but some are well established In
their callings or professions and are not really
dependent upon them alone for support like one
who is maimed for life.
The maxim "One poor general is better than
two good ones," will lllustrato our Idea that
close attention to otie work Is more useful
than loose supervision over many.
Ambition Is praiseworthy when used prop
erly In any profession and no man however
emulous Is fit for the ollice of Superintendent
whose Intent Is to make It preparatory fur an
auxiliary to tome other calling or practice.
The Idea of the law Is that the Buperlntend
ency shall be the work of one and suggests
that thoBO who wilt be otherwise engaged
should not receive the support of directors.
