London, 'Oct 5.—The Press associa
tion announces that it has learned
from government circles that there is
no troth in the report in a dispatch
from Vienna to the Daily Mail that
the powers had agreed upon a specific
settlement of the Eastern' question,
hoaorableto all parties, and amply
guaranteeing the security of the Ar
menians. There was a direct intima
tion that thp Turkish difficulty was
virtually settled, but It appears such
Is not the‘case.
The Constantinople 1 correspondent
of the Times says: '“Every indication
points toa renunciation by the Turk
ish government of a conciliatory pol
icy towards the Armenians. Expul
sions among the lower orders con
tinue, although on a-reduced scale,
and arrests exteud now to bankers
and other wealthy classes. So much
for the agitation in England.”
A Berlin dispatch to the Standard
says: “The Kolhische Zeitung as
sert^ that the Greeks propose to ap

America to subscribe 10 million
pounds (50 million dollars) in order to

owners in the island of Crete.”

; General Sickles was the first
/Speaker. He began by. saying they.
did not have meetings in his country
until 8 o’clock in the evening. Then
he launched into the money question
and said that there would always be
a majority of people who had not all
they wanted. The trouble was that
there was not money enough to go
round. It had been so since the world
began and would be so until the end
of time. Most men wanted too much
—they wanted more than there was.
Quoting from Abrahain Lincoln, be
said: “If thy neighbor have a house,
don’t pull it down, but rather build
one for thyself, that thou may be
safe.” He said there was more mouev
in the United States now than there
ever had been before, more thun there
was in England. It was not quantity
of money, but activity of mcney and
quality of money that the country
needed. There was quantity enough
for all our uses.
-General Marden told the story of
the Litchfield gala “I hear you are

Presidents. The country had tried

by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, 1 began
their use, and I very cheerfully state
that they have invigorated and built
up my nervous system in a wonderful
way. They have done me a world of
good and I have been greatly benefit
ed by their use, where everything else
I took failed to give me the relief I
sought for. I have recommended
them to a large number of my old
comrades and it is a pleasure for me
to do so, for I feel that the manufact-j
urers are deserving of any good that)
I can do them in saying a good word)
for their product, in return for the)
good they have done me. I will gladly
recommend these pills to any one wrlt-i

JOSH BILLINGS' PHILOSOPHY.
Comik writers are allwuss expected
to be phunny when they talk, and, in
the effort to be so, are often very silly.
Book-larning iz good, but too mutch i
ov it konkokts krudltys, which have J
been known to sour on the intelektual. >
stummuk.
’ What little I kno I hav larnt bi mix
ing with the medium and lower klass
es; dimonds and fine gold are oftenest)
found cluss to the bed-rock.
Mi natur prompts me to make fust
advances. I hav often been snubbed
krewelly for this, but I kan’t help it,,
kan I? I shall flte it out on this line.
Yu kan’t allwuss judge bi appear
ances. I hav often known a whole
shirt to be compozed entirely ov a pa
per collar and a pair ov cotton wrist
bands.
I hav allwuss notissed that thoze
circles which are the most exklusive
hav but little individual strength; mu

I hav generally notissed that the old

proud and robust oak riven bi litening
