POWERS BACK DOWN.
AMal Hamld aad His Palace Advisers Ia
High Glee Over Recall of the Dryad.
Cokbtaxtixople, Dec. 1. After all
the warlide talk of yesterday the Brit
ish ambassador, Sir Philip Carrie, has
backed down, and the sultan and his
palace advisers are triumphant. .The
British gunboat Dryad, ordered from
Salonicabay by Admiral Sir Michael
Culm-Seymour, the commander of the
British Mediterranean squadron, at the
request of Sir Philip Carrie, after the
latter was assured on Tuesday last by
Tewfik Pasha, the Turkish minister for
foreign affairs, that the porte had de
cided to grant the firmans allowing the
extra guardshins required by the repre
sentatives of the powers hereto pass
the Dardanelles, has been ordered back
toSalonica, This is to the diplomatic
corps quite an unexpected denouement of
a situation which had assumed a most
dangerous aspect, and the general opin
ion is that the powers have been placed
in a most ridiculous position. Follow
ing the repeated threats of forcing the
passage of the Dardanelles if the sultan
persisted in refusing to allow the extra
gunboats to enter the Bosphorus, this
looks very much as if Abdul Hamid and
his advisers were well informed when
they persisted in holding out against the
demands of the representatives of Great
Britain, Russia, Italy and Austria for
additional guardships, believing that
they were justified in so doing on the
ground that the powers are not in accord,
as so frequently claimed and officially
stated, and that the dissenting powers
were behind Abdul Hamid in the stand
he has taken.

Sax Francisco, Nov. 28. Theodore
Durrant appeared in court to be sen
tenced for the murder of Blanch La
mont. When the case was called the
prisoner's attorney began reading from
a pile of affidavits, upon which he based
a motion for a new trial. The affidavits
included every article published by
every San Francisco newspaper con
cerning the crime and relating to the
trial. No exception noted during the
trial was overlooked. The alleged hos
tility of the press and people of the city
to Durrant was dwelt upon and conten
tion made that the jury was unduly in
fluenced by popular opinion, which had
prejudged the prisoner guilty. When
the prisoner's affidavits are read, the
district attorney will present counter
affidavits and then motion will be argued.

Two Negroes Lyached.
Nashville, Dec. 1. Joe Robinson
and Ozias McOhaey, both negroes, were
taken from the jail at Fayettville by a
mob composed of people from Lincoln
and Marshall counties and hanged.
The negroes had been taken from Nash
ville to Lewisburg, Marshall county,
tried for attempted rape, convicted and
sentenced to the full penalty of the law,
and a train had been held to take them
to Tracey City. Euroute at Fayettville,
in the adjoining county, sympathisers
of the Marshall county mob, at its re
quest, held up the train and forced a
sidetracking of the car containing the
sheriff, guards and prisoners, despite
the protests of leading citisens. The
sheriff then placed the prisoners in jail,
from which they were taken.

David Ctoj a few years ago aad opeaed
ap a meat market, which he raa a couple
of years, then sold it and started a
saloon.
Stanton Picket: The artesian well oa
the Humbug, ia this county, that was
struck about two months ago aad which
flowed with such wonderful force, has
about ceased flowing altogether. What
the reason is can of course only be con
jectured. Some think the bottom of the
pipe has become plugged with blue clay,
of which the water has been colored, bat
others think this cannot bo. as such a
force of water could naturally clear ita
own way and give as their opinion that
the water has been forced up from a
basin which has now become empty, or
so nearly so as not to supply the force
necessary to the flow.
Platte Center Signal: While Parky
Doody was standing on the hub of a
wagon wheel, which was attached to a
loaded wagon, which had a team of
horses hitched to it, the team started to
walk away, the wagon moved and the
hub of the wagon wheel turned a half
circle, and Parky lost bis equilibrium
and he was precipitated to the ground
in no gentle manner. After getting him
self together and making a careful ex
amination of his anatomy, he found that
he had dislocated his shoulder, badly
bruised his arm, and sustained other in
juries which made him feel so uncom
fortable that he was compelled to require
the services ot a physician to ''reinstate"
him.
Fremont Herald: Many of the farm
ers have arrived at the conclusion that
they have been planting their corn too
early, and will hereafter put in the bulk
of their crop well along in May up to
the 25th. They fignro (and it is at least
borne out by this year's experience) that
the ground is too cold in April, and tbat
corn planted later will usually catch up
with it, besides escaping the dry period
and hot winds which usually overtake
the early planted corn at its most criti
cal stage. Mr. Cornelius Ryan, of the
Ames neighborhood, is one of the con
verts to this theory, and his experience
with crops of thirty and forty bushels to
the acre, this year and lost, is pretty
good evidence that ho is on the right
track. There will be more of it next
year.
Fremont Herald: Will J. McVicker,
of North Bend, leaves tomorrow for
Australia, whore he goes in the interest
of the mining firm, Frazter St Chalmers,
of Chicago and London, whom he rep
resented on his two former trips to
South Africa, and with which firm bis
brother was also employed for a year in
the gold mines of Venezuela, South
America. Mr. McVicker goes via Lon
don, Suez canal and Sydney, and will
take a two weeks camel trip across the
desert of Australia, to reach the gold
mines. He expects to be 'gone two or
three years, and will write some letters
to the Herald during his absence. Mr.
McVicker is quite well acquainted with
Barney Barnato, tho diamond and mine
man of South Africa, who is given credit
ot being one of the richest men of today.
Schuyler Herald: On Tuesday Wen
zel Vavra, of Wilson precinct, was before
the board of insanity on a charge of
being of unsound mind. The charge
was made by his son John. The board
hsd not proceeded very far with the
examination, before they discovered that
the old gentleman was no more insane
than his son and was far more deserving
of their respect, and it did not tako them
long to discharge him. Wenzel Vavra
is a man of about sixty-five years of age,
and is woll spoken of by his neighbors.
Some time ago he pave what little money
he had, somowhere in the neighborhood
of four hundred dollars, to his son John
and has been living with him. After the
unnatural son pot possession of his
father's all ho seemed bent upon making
him a public charge, and so attompted
to get him declared insane. Such brntes
should be handled without gloves and
their lack of everything that goes to
make up trno manhood shown up to
their neighbors in ita true light, that
they may look upon tho creature with
the scorn and contempt that ho deserves.
We pity tho old gentleman, or anyone
else who has to spend the declining years
of his life with such a son.
