WarlTl)nringHlrrp. It has frequently happened that stu dious men have done really hard men tal work while asleep. A stanza of ex cellent verse Is In print, which Sir John Herschel Is said to havo composed while asleep, and to have romomliorod when h awoke.

His wife nnd children thus lost both thu money ho had paid in premiums and all tho money that would havo been duo for his Insurance, lu another Instance a man who had been nn ildermau in Hrooklvn became In temperate, and thus forfeited tho W0, 000 of insurance that had been secured on his life.

The Times Mye the United States may be depended upon to do all In Its power to observe tho Treaty of Washington, but even tf tho Russians succeed in equipping their fleet It will hardly do mush mischief, and I more likely to fall victim to our cruiser than to Inflict damage on our mer chantmen.

The Greek In Balgo ria, who are also greatly dissatisfied, have Just received a new occasion for alarm tn an attempt of the Russian authorities to annul tbrm un der the general conscription now being enfore ed throughout Bulgaria. At a reception given by the Russian AmbasMdor in Constantinople, to resident Russians, May 19, be tnsde a speech snd ex pressed strong hopes of peace. He recom mended them, however, not to be too sanguine, ss the situation wm still one of great tension. The Russian Insist that the movements of their troop are not Intended m hostile, but the Turka are, notwithstanding, bard st work, trengthenlng their line and bringing up guaa. This It nol ftasy, m th Turkish line of defenso' from the Sea of Marmora to the IlUck Sea la so long, and while the Turkish force about th capital Is superior to the Russian, It I hardly sufficient to man such a length of lint. The Turk will be soon reinforced however, by the forty battalions released In Theuly and 'JO battalions from Verna.

The Rnsslar diplomatic representative used every effort to prevent Prluce Charles from going to the army, but the latter' posi tion will be made Intolerable by the military and political control assumed by the Russians In the capital aud the country. It I acrtcd that the Russian are urging tho Roumanians to refuse to pay taxea and to dethrone Prince Charles, whom they denounce as a German and a Catholic; but popular feeling Is entirely In sympathy with tho Prince. Roumnnla Is look ing anxiously to Austria, which does not seem disposed, for thn iiretont, at least, to go lieyond the concentration of troops and strengthening the Trausylvanlan frontier, OKHUANr. A Berlin dispatch of May 14th says: The Indignation ami excitement over the at tack on tho Emperor Iim lueicnscd rather than subsided, but, except the North German Ga zette, nil tho newspapers counsel calnme-s and tho avoidance of any rash measures of action upon tho social democrats In the Rclctutiig.

The doctor proved the number of his Tislts, according to local cutom, and his own authority to do medical prac tice. Mr. Stephens told his client that the physician had made his case, and as there was nothing whatever to rebut or offset the claim, the only thing left to do was to pav it. "N'o," saltl Peter, "I hired you to speak In mv case; and now, speak." Mr. Stephens told him there was not anything to say; he had looked on to see that it was matte out, and It was. Peter was obdurate, and nt lat Mr. Stephens told him to mako a stwech himself, If he thought one could be matin. "I will," said Peter Dennett, "if Dabby Toombs will not bo too hard on me." Senator Toombs promised, and Peter began: Gentleman of the Jury, you and I Is plain farmers, and If we don't stick to gether these 'ere lawyers and doctors will git the advantage of us. I ain't no objection to them In their proper place; but they aln!t farmers, gentlemen of the jury. Now, this man, Hovston, waa a new doctor, and I went for him to come an' to doctor my wife's sore leg. And he come and put some salve truck onto It, and some rags, but never done it one bit of good, gentlemen of tho ju ry. I don't oelieve he is no doctor, no way. Now, there is doctors that Is doctors, sure enough; but this man don't earn his money; and if you send for him, as Mrs. Suan Atkinson did, for a nigger as was worth $1,000. ho JiMt kills him nnd wants pay for it." "I don't!" thnndered the doctor. "Did you cure him?" asked Peter, with the 'slow accent of a judge with the black cap on. The doctor was silent, nnd Peter pro cccde: "As I was a savin', gentlemen of tho jury, wo farmcrs,when wc sell our cot ton", has got to give vallevfor tho money we ask. and a doctor alnH none to vood to bu put to thu same rule. And I don't believe this Sam Royston is no doctor, no how." The physiciau again put in his oar, with, "look nt my diploma, if you think I am no physlcinn." "IBs diploma', exclaimed the new Hedged orator, with great contempt. "His diploma, gentleman of thu jury, this U a new word for printed sheop kiu; and it didn't mnku no doctor of the sheep ns llrst wore it, nor docs it of the man who now carries it, and I pint out to you that he ain't no doctor at all." " The man of medicine was now In a fury, and screamed out: "Ask my pa tient If I am no doctor!" "I nked my wife," retorted Peter, "and she ta!il as how she thought you wasn't." "Ask my other pntlento," said Dr. Rovston. This seemed to be tho straw that broko the camel' back, for Peter replied with a look and tono of unutterable sudness: "This is a hard saying, gentlemen of tho jury, and one that requires mo to dio or to have powers as I've heard tell ceased to be exercised since the apos tles. Does ho expect mo to bring the nngel Gabriel down to toot his horn be fore tho tlmo, and crv aloud, 'Awake, ye dead, and tell thfs court and jury your opinion of Royton'.s practice!' Am I to go down to the tomb nnd say to him as is at last at rest from physio and doctor's bills, 'Git up here, you, nnd state if you died a natural death, or was you hurried up some by doctors?' IIu says ask his patients, and, c-entlemcn of tho jury, they are nil dead! Where Is Mrs. Ben.ly's man, Situ? (Jo ask tho worms in the graveyard where ho lies. Mrs. Peak's woman, Sarah, was attend ed by him, and her funeral was appoint ed and ho Ind the corpse ready. Where is that likely Bill, as belonged to Mr. Mitchell? Now In glory, a1 expressln' his opinion on Royston'sdocterin'. And where is tho baby gal of Harry Steph ens? She are wliere tho doctor's cease from troublin', aud tho infants are at rest. Gentlemen of the jury, ho has cat chickens enough at my house to pay for tho salvo, and I furnished Iho rags, and I don't suppose he charges for mak ln' of her worse, and oven ho don't pre tend to charge forcurin' her, and I am humbly thankful that he never gavo her anything for her inwards, as lid did his other patients, for somethin' made 'em all dio mighty sudden." - Here the applause mado tho speaker sit down in great confusion, and, in spite of tho logical restatement of the caso by Senator Toombs, tho doctor lost and Peter Bennett won. Rochester Express. Why the Hungarian Hate Russia. Tho Magyars are a vigorous, proud and aggressive nationality, and mako good their claim to more than tho amount of home rule demanded by our Irish members. 1 hey have a hatred ol Russia founded on her Intervention at tho moment when their rebellion prom ised to bo successful; and their admi ration springs, not only from her resis tance to their own foe. but from her refusal to give up tho Hungarians who took refuge in her territory. They have -not forgotten that tho Sultan delicd tho Czar. It is perfectly natural that they should dislike Russia and admire Tur key. But they have a more practical reason for hostility to any toleration of Russian objects. They know that if tbo treaty of San Stcfano were to bo en forced, Austria would be obliged to pro tect her own interests by extending her sovereignty over some of tho Slav prov ince of Turkey, and that she would thus become more of a Slav Empire. It is not surprising that they should bo hostile to any chango which would tend to lessen the political importance of Pesth. -London Telegraph.
