In the House of Lord, Hsllsbury disclaimed

Ttirr was nothing apparent In forrlgn affairs

Sir Stafford Nortlicote, Chancellor of the Kx

said liie situation waa an anxious one, but that
nothing luil occurred to aggravate It or dimin
ish the Ikihi of a satlaftctory arrangement.
Nothing justifies tint assertion thai F.ngland

Hcrvlsn oltlclsl dispatch from Calcutta iu lie
Indian government has rrcched orders to rend
troois to Malta, and stveral regiments are tic
signaled. Tho dispatch of troops from the inte
rior to Malta Is leading to a piece of poltlcal
discussion. The supportcrsof the government
regard It aa only a nation tl accompaniment of
other precautionary measures, and no Indica
tive of any belligerent Indications The oppo
nent of the government regard It as another
step In the development of a warlike policy.
Tho UiiKCti haa Issued a proclamation to
strictly prohibit the export or carrying
coastwise of apparatus for torpedoes and all
apparatus for projecting Inflammable matorial
for tiring torpedoes. An order was received at
Sunderland, April IMh, for 100,000 tons of coal
for the RuMlan government, ta be shipped Im
mediately In fait steamers, for the Baltic port.
A London dispatch of April 19th says
the tenor of the new from the various capitals
I peaceful. The Ixxidon Dally News ha a St.
Petersburg peclal aaylng that the unofficial
pre talcs sanguine than the official, because
think Kngland' preparation are Inconsistent
wlthpeaacful Inclination. Auother London
dispatch ay there I reason to believe that If
the present activity la commissioning ship
continue, a royal proclamation may be Issued
calling out the flrtt-claa naval reserve.
A London dispatch of April 20th, says:
The Indian government ha chartered Ave
steamer for the conveyance of troop from
India. Three are taken for three month
ami their primary destination Is this port; It
I said tlie other two are engaged for two
month. These are the Staaopb celebrated
Australian steamers of 8,500 tons burden, ca
pable of transporting R000 men, and the Nan
kin, or 8,(100 tons, capable of carrying a full
regiment of the United Service. The Gacette
says It hs good reason for stating that there
will be a strong combined channel and battle
fleet formed within the next two month.
TUB OHIBNT.
Tho Houmnnian press renews the ac
cusation against the government of secretly
abetting Russia. The opinion I shared by many
of the people that unless the country receive
a powerful extraneous support, Russia will tuc
cced In her designs In consequence of Internal
dissension. The Russian officer In Bucharest
havo been leased for another six month In
Servls, and the anti-Russian feeling Is said to
be developing great strength In the cabinet,
and with Uie army, and cople, and though
Prince Milan Is unconditionally Russian, the
war preparation continue. The Russian ad
vice fiom Constantinople state that the strug
gle lu the cabinet for the ascendency contin
ue. The Uiltlsh party I still In power. The
Insurrection In Thessaly Is almost overwhelmed
by large forces of Turks sent from llulgarla.
The projected visit of the Khedive to the Sul
tan has been Kstponed.
A Constantinople dispatch of April
UUh says; In the event of war, should Austria
be. neutral, the Russians will seize the Rospho
rus. If hosUle, Russia will not attempt to
hold the Hoaphorut, or anything south of Adrl
anople, and may abandon Turkey, except the
fortresses, and attach Austria from Golacla,
Roiimanla and Bosnia. The Turks ha e 70,000
men at Constantinople, and 17,000 at Galllpoll,
and would doubtless resist any attempt ta en
ter the capital, but their attitude Is now nei
tral.
Tho contest In tliu Turkish Cabinet
continues. Tho Turk will occupy Ratoum.
It I untrue that the Russians again asked per
mission to occupy Huyukdtre, a they are mov
ing nearer Constantinople. Both from Vienna
and 8t Petersburg come report of uneasiness
and dissatisfaction In the latter city about
Russia's position. The Roumanian, alarmed
about the occupation of their oeuntry and the
potalbtUty of aa attempt to disarm them, have
withdrawn their army nto Little WaHachla,
where they will make another Plevna, U nec
eetary. Intelligence haa been received at Vi

Montenegrin ha taken place near Podgvrolt

Turkish village. Losses trill lug. A new
Turkish Cabinet ha been formed. It polltl

A Merlin dispatch of April 17th, nays:
Ths Provloclsl corrrtpoadenre say there I ao
eaaeatial change In the situation, hut the sharp
tension of diplomatic relation appear to be
yielding somewhat ta mnre pacific view. A
report from Berlin I to the effect that Russia
may agree to Koglaod't demand ta submit the
entire treaty ta the Congresa. If this course U
adopted, It would show that Rutala had agrewd
with other continental power, and that Kng
land will b Isolated In her objection to the
treaty.
A llerlln special states that Uismarek
at the requrst of Count Andraaay, haa consent
ed ta resume negotiations f(r Congress, on
tlie conditions that be be simultaneously se
lected to do m by Austria, Kngland and flus
sla. The good will of Russia I Indubitable,
but It I feared that Kngland may prolong the
present state of uncertainty by abstaining from
asking Germany's mediation, or by formula
ting the reservation.
The Purls papers publish a tolfgrniu
from Berlin stating that Kngland and Russia
have agreed to the principle of the simultane
ous withdrawal of the British Meet and Russian
tro from the neighborhood of Constantino
ple, hut the polnta ta which thry will withdraw
are not decided upon,

A dlspntch from Stockholm of April

Ht'SHIl,
There have been serious riots nt Mos
cow, St. Petersburg nd Kleff, growing out of
the exile of flftreti student from the Univer
sity if Kleff, Private Information, howeter,
attributes the disturbance ta the excitement
growing nut of tbe trial of the woman Vera

Tupoff, Chief of Poll, e at St. Petersburg. Tlie
Journal De St. Petersburg saya Get many con
tinues her mediatory effort with discretion,

strongest liotw.
A special from llerlln says Himslu is
willing to discus all the clauses of the treaty
of San Stefauo, but dot not conceal her de
termination to defend all Its principal stipula
tions, word In hand If necessary. Advices
from Moscow state that 3,000 students and
workmen were involved In the disturbances
of the 1Mb. Telyc were killed and twenty
five wounded. A Berlin correspondent says
Russia docs not hesitate ta Intimate privately
that she will not object ta a congress discus
sion of all the more Important Jauca of the
treaty, but decline to make Its validity de
pendent upon tlie consent of the Power. A
Bucharest dispatch ay It I reported In gov
ernment circle that a Rutslan ultimatum I
expected.
A 8t. Petersburg dispatch of April
90th say: An order I officially published
that the necessary number of men have been
called out from tbe naval reeerve to form three
corp of sailor for ervtce In the field, two of
which are to be tatlonedatCrontadt, and the
third at Nlcalalff. Several paper state that
a preliminary conference should be accepted
aa a means of aacertalalng tbe real Intention of
England. The Agence Russe aaytt If the
news that the withdrawal of the Russtaaa aad
British from the vldalty of CoattaaUnople ia
authentic, It thowt an Important phase of the
regulation reached under Germany 'a power
and Influence.
Al'RTHIA.
All report about Russia having sent
a reply to Austria's objection are contradict
ed from the same source. In other circle In
Vienna, It 1 stated that the Rmperor and mili
tary party are stronger than Count Andraasy
and will not support hi anti-Russian policy
Among the larger claatea of Austrian the be
lief U ald to prevail that Austria ha nothing
ubttautlal to lose by either peace or war, be
cause Hungary would reltt the annexation o
tho Sclav countries.
A telegram from Vienna announces
thst the Austrian government ha concluded a
loan In 1'arlaof M,000,000 florin In gold.
What to Teach the Boya.
Alfred L. Sewell, in his new monthly
for boys, "Homo Arta," published in
Chicago, writes oa follows :
A philosopher has said that true edu
cation for boys is to "teach them what
they ought to know when they become
meu."
What is it they ought to know, then?
1st. To bo true ; to bo genuine. No
education is worth nnythingtliAtdoosnot
Include this. A man had better not know
how to read, tie had better never learn
a letter in tho alphabet, and bo true and
genuine in intention and in action,
rather than, being learned in nil scien
ces and in nil languages, to bo nt tho
same time f also in heart and counterfeit
in life. , Above all things teach tho
boys that truth is more than riches,
moro than culture, more than earthly
power or position.
-d. To bo pure in thought, language
and Hfo ; pure in mind and body. An
Impure man, young or old, poisoning
tho society whore ho moves, with smut
ty stories and impure examples, is a
moral ulcer, a plague spot, a leper who
ought to bo treated as woro tho lepers
of old, who were banished from society
and compelled to cry unclean, as a
warning to save others from tho pestll
once.
3d. To bo unselfish. To care for the
feelings and comfort of others. To be
polite. To be Just in all dealings with
others. To bo generous, noble aad
manly. This will Include a genuine
reverence for the aged aad things
acred.
4th. To be aelf-rellant, and self -helpful,
even from early childhood. To be
Industrious always, ami self-supporting
at tho earliest proper age. Teach, them '
that all houest work is honorable, and
that. an idle, useless life of dependence
on others is disgraceful.
When a boy has learned these four
things; when he has made these ideas a
part of his being, however young ho
may be, however poor or however rich,
ho haa learned some of tho moat import
ant things he ought to know when he
becomes a man. with these four prop
erly mastered, it will bo easy to find all
tho rest.
