valuable services during four years of

The journals report that the Rus
Bians before Kars and Ardahan have
retreated toward the frontier.
A Ilagusa dispatch says thai the de
lay in the Turkish attack on Montene
grin positions is explained by the great
want of supplies, and the ravages of ty
phus, scurvy, and other diseases. The
Turks try to conceal this, but there is
good authority for stating that three
thousand troops are sick in Mostar
alone. The same epidemics rage in
the camp at Scutari.
LoxDO.t, May 11.
The Standard reports that medical
inspection of the army service corps
was ordered yesterday. This unusual
event is taken as an indication that
the corps are to be in readiness for spe
cial service. Horses also have been in
spected and assorted, so that the best
may be at any time selected for partic
ular duty if required. The "War Office
has ordered various regiments to train
their regimental transports in the same
manner as when preparing for the au
tumn maneuvers.
Washington', May 10.
Secretary Evarts said yesterday that
he has watched with absorbing interest
the new phase assumed by the wai in
the East in consequence of the attitude
of the British Government as set forth
in the diplomatic note of Lord Derby
to Lord Loftus, and the antagonistic
attitude of the opposition as indicated
in the position taken by Gladstone.
He intimated that although the Uni
ted States has up to this time apparen
tly very little concern in the struggle,
the hostile attitude threatened by the
course of Lord Derby might probably
result in complications affecting Amer
ican interests.
ube a short distance above Galatz. Op
posite the latter point the Bashi-Ba-zouks
are at their old tricks, village
burning, accompanied, no doubt, by the
usual quantity of beheadings and other
outrages. The Russians have taken
possession of a little island in the Dan
ube between Braila and Galatz, with
the intention of crossing. The Danube
has been again blockadfed, this time by
the Turks, and there are threats of a
blockade of the Black Sea, also, and
British grain ships are being laid up i
consequence. Reports of Turkish de
feats in Armenia are rife, but lack
point and confirmation. The Russians
have advanced to Batoum, in Armenia,
but are likely to meet with a vigorous
resistance from the Ottoman garrison
there. Good authorities say that fe
vers have broken out among the Rus
sian troops on the Danube, as in 1828
and 1834, and the summer outlook is
unpromising. The news from the oth
er powers ii unimportant.
The maps of Europe may all be roll
ed up and put away. The Russians
have crossed the Pruth, and before they
recross it some tracts of country that
now belong to Turkey will have been
joined to Russia, others to Austria,
others to Persia, others to Egypt, and
others to England. The chances are
that the present maps will never again
be needed. Globe Democrat.
Ohio In Peace and War.
Ohio may not be a mother of Presi
dents, but she is a mother of officehold
ers, and a mother of remarkable fecun
dity. She has at present the Presiden
cy and the Treasury Department, two
of the seats on the Supreme Court
Bench, including the Chief Justiceship,
the Chief Justiceship of the District
Supreme Court and the Japanese Mis
sion, with Mr. Noyes gazetted for
France. Of other civil positions filled
by children of Ohio the official lists
mention the First Comptroller, the
Sixth Auditor and Deputy Third and
Fourth Auditors of the Treasury De
paitment, the Chief Clerk of the Post
Office Department and of its contract
branch, the Chief Clerk to the Solicitor
of the Treasury, tho Census Clerk of
Interior Department, etc. In the army
Ohio owns the General and Lieutenant
General, one of the three Major Gener
als, one of the five active Brigadier
Generals, and another on the retirto
list, 11 Colonels, 10 Lieutenant Colonel J.
18 Majors, 43 Captains and 93 Lieuten
auts. In the navy she has the Vice
Admiral, 5 Rear Admirals, 2 Commo
dores, 5 Captains, 8 Commanders, a
Medical Inspector, a Pay 'Director, a
Pay Inspector, a Chaplain, 8 Lieuten
ant commanders, 24 Lieutenants, 9 Mas
ters, 3 Ensigns, 5 Midshipmen, 2 Medic
al Officers, 6 Paymasters, 6 Engineers,,
besides 4 Lieutenants of Marines, two
Captains and 1 Lieutenant of the Rev
enue Marine. This does not include
children of Ohio appointed from other
States. At this rate, it will notbelonj

Terrible Disaster.
The inner walls of the north side of
the Court nouse, at Rockford 111., fell,
on the 11th inst. About twenty work
men were hurt, of whom eleven were
killed outright. The building has two
pavillions and a centre dome over the
front entrance, the stone cornice of
which was just being put on, prepara
tory to putting on the roof. The weight
of the dome crumbled the supporting
walls like so much sand.
The responsibility rests between the
architect, Mr. II. L. Gay of Chicago,
and the contractor, Mr. W. A. Richard
son of Springfield, III.

The War.
Having got away from the Russian
batteries at Galatz, Hobart Pasha is
letting himself be heard from at Odes
sa, and according to the latest reports
is bombarding that city. Odessa is the
pincipal city of Southern Russia, is the
seat of the Governor General of Bessa
rabia, and has about 123,000 inhabit
ants. It is the best Russian port on
the Black Sou, has an inner harbor ca
pable of containing 300 large sized ves
sels, and from it most of the grain of
the lower portion of the great empire
is exported. It contains a number of
theatres and museums, a university, 44
churches, and about 500 granaries. The
latest trade reports we have from there
are those of 1872, in which year 1,233
vessels arrived, and 1,286 departed; and
in the same year the exports were val
ued at 631,000,000, and imports at $40,
000,000. It was poorly defended by a
fort and several land batteries. Rus
sia will loose more by its destruction
than she will gain by the acquisition
of all Roumania. The Turks have al
so begun the bombardment of Ibrail,

American Inventive Progress.
Under the above heading the Scien
tific American of May 7th has a long
and interesting article, from which we
make the following extracts:
To show with what rapidity invent
ors made improvements on inventions
embodying original principals, says the
writer, it may be noted that in the ear
ly days of the sewing machine 11G pat
ents were granted for improvements
thereon in a single year; and out of the
2,910 patents issued in the yearof1857,
152 were for improved cotton-gins and
presses, 164 for improvements on steam
engine, and 198 for novel devices relat
ig to railroads and improvements in
the rolling stock. In the year 1848,
three years after the publication f
this paper was commenced, but 6G0
patents were granted ; but under the
stimulus of publishing those inventions
as they were patented, ten years later
in 1858, the number had increased six
fold, reaching 3,710, while up to Janu
ary 1, 1850, as already stated, the ag
gregate of patents issued amounted to
17,467; since that time and up to the
present the total is 181,015.
And curiosity here leans U3 (adds the
editor)to review our own work, extend
ing back, say, twenty years, or to 1857,
a period durin& which 170,745 patents
have been issued. We find by actual
count, that 62,063 applications have
been made through the Scientific Amer
ican Patent Agency for Patents in the
United States and abroad. This aver
ages almost ten application per day,
Sundays excluded, over the entire peri
od, and bears the relation of more than
one quarter to the total number of pat
ents issued in this country up to the
time of writing.
