dently Took to big "divys" at an early
day. We hope their expectations will
be fully realized. ...

Til Jen is announced to sail for Europe
on the 18tb of July. From this wo in
fer that the quo warranto ot which we
have heard so much, is basted, and that
Tilden thinks, with the , great body of
the American people, that he and a few
Democratic followers have made fools
of themselves long enough. We hope
Samuel J. may have, a pleeant trip.
TERRIBLE FIRE.
On the 20th inst., St. John?, New
Brunswick, was almost annihilated by
fire. Forty odd blocks, or nearly 200
acre, were burned over, leaving less
than half a dozen buildings that were
not totally destroyed. The loss is plac
ed at ten or twelve million dollar.
Fifteen thousand people were left home
less, and much suffering must ensue as
not a grocery or provision store was
saved from the tire. Six newspaper
and tear job printing offices were de
stroyed. Meetings have been held all
over the country, and large sums collect.
d for the relief of the city. Eight or
ten persons lost their live?, while acci
dents were numerous, especially among
the gallant firemen, who done all in
their power to save the city. All the
leading business house, hotels, banks,
churches, theatres, etc., were destroyed.
A Washington special says Jones'
report of the silver commission is expect,
d to be made public in a few days. It
is an exhaustive argument in favor ot a
double standard and remonetizing ot
silver. The position is taken that the
contraction of the currency, caused by
demonetizing silver has arrested busi
ness enterprises aud largely contributed
to special depression. To-day Jones ex
presses tbe opinion that with silver de
monetized specie resumption would be
impossible. lie says that if Sherman
could possibly resume it would only be
temporary, and tbo result would be
great Buffering, and return finally to issu
ing of paper. Tho Senator favors the
passage of the bill to declare the old
silver dollar a legal tender for all debts
public, and private, and directing that
upon any person bringing silver plate,
bars or bullion to the mint it sba'l be !
tbe duty til the govornmet to coin it
charging only such seigniorage as may
be necessary to cover expenses. Anoth
r provision of the bill would be to pro
ride that upon any person depositing iu
. mints a silver bar of given weight aud
r fineness, it 6hall be the duty of the gov
ernment to give the party so depositing,
certificates ol deposit This corresponds
t to gold notes, the principle being the
' same. Jones insists that the 4 per cent,
bonds are payable in gold com at the
ptnton of tbe government.
EASTERN NEWS.
THE EASTERN WAR.
The Turks have recaptured Bayazid,
capturing a few prisoners. - '-":,
Ensland will occupy Egypt under
pretence of neutrality, but really to co
operate with Turkey against Russia.
Letters received at Athens, from Con
stantinople state that the Turkish War
Department is destitute ot muds.
Two divisions of the Turkish army
have effeoted a junction in Montenegro,
after six days flighting. Loss, 5,000.
Since the 22d Austrian troops have
lined the Montenegrin frontier and the
women and children are fleeing in num
bers to Cottlars.
Telegrams to Edinburgh and Chicago
give the situation in England as excit
ing and grave. The war party seem to
have the ascendency. .
The London Times ot the 22d says :
'It is rumored tl at the British Parlia
ment will vote an extraordinary credit
ot 10,000,000 tor military exigencies."
Russian agents have been despatched
to Hamburg, Bremen and the United
States to enlist sailors for the navy.
Five new men-of-war are to be launched
at Ccrosta.
Sunday night tho bombardment of
Rutschuk by the Russians became ter
rible. The Turks stood lire with great
coolness, replying vigorously .and with
good aim. A shell has fallen in the
prison aud killed two prisoners. Sever
al non-combatants have been killed and
wounded. Shots have struck the Ger
man, English and Belgian consulates.
Shells burst near the hospital, but the
Russian tire seems directed to the center
of the town and continues to-dav with
: great vigor. A liustchuk dispatch says
cne hundred people have been killed in
the streets by Russian shells.
The Servian minister ot war has or.
dered out for early camp drill sixteen
battalions who served in the standing
army during 1876, also battalion of
regulars and militia officers hitherto
available, are to be taken aatn into
active service.
Tho Russians have made a second
crossing at llerzova. A force of 8,000
men passed over, and has effected a
junction with detachments coming from
Ma'cLin, and will to-morrow (27) march
against the Turkish line of defense be
tween Czenovoda and Kustondje. Tho
Turks are making great exertions to
break the lines at Trajan's wall between
Czenavoda and Kutondje, which has
been strengthened by recent fortifica
tions throughout its whole length. Both
sides make the usual charges of inhumanity.
Tho eastern war has now opened in
earnest. Heavy righting is reported
both in Europe and Asia. It is now
clearly the intention of Russia to push
the war with vigor. That it will be
done with great sacrifice ot life need not
be doubled. The '1 urks occupy very
strong defensive positions, and recent
improvements of firearms give troops
holding guch positions immensely great
er advantages than formerly for making
successful defense. Y ith such rapidity
and effect is the fire delivered that as
saulting columns are annihilated before
they cau reach the works they are at
tempting to carry. But Russia by the
sheer weight ot numbers will be able to
push simultaneous campaigns against
both divisions ot the Turkish empire.
Her vast forces will enable her to invest
the principal fortresses and still have
men enough tor operations in the open
field, x 10m this time forward we may
look for 6tiiring news.

A letter from J. J. Crawford, San
Javier, Province of Santa Fe, Argentine
Republic, South America, April 2d,
1877, tells of the revolution in said Pro
vince on the 25th of March, last. Col.
YV. T. Moore, through the wiles ot Pa
tricia Cullen, au ex-Governor of the
Province, native born but ot Irish ex
traction, was induced to head the rebell
ion. Three hundred reckless men were
found who were willing to undertake
revolution in the hope of riches. They
marched to the crossing of the Sa'adillo
river, where they were met by Col.
Romero with a company of native
troops, who whipped aud totally routed
Col. Moore and party, killing Patricio
Cullen. - Moore escaped for the time
being to become an outlaw, his life and
property forfeited to the Government.
There were but four North Americans
engaged in this affair : Ben Moore, an
outlaw from California ; Bill Wines, an
outlaw from Texas ; W. T. Moore and
Henry Griffin. Mr, Crawford thinks
this will be the last attempt at revolu
tion for some time in Argentine.
A tremendous storm on the 24th done
immense damage in Illinois. In Mor
gan county the damage to wheat crops
i estimated at $100,000. At Cham
paign 100 bouses and buildings were
damaged, while trees were uprooted,
fences blown down, etc. At Firebaogh
the unfinished Methodist church was
blown down (loss $7,000) while numer
ous buildings were unroofed aud movd
trom their foundations. Fourteen build
ings were unroofed at Brook villa. Tbe
east bound train for Cincinnati was
blown from the track three miles east of
Kankakee, and the 15 passengers more
or less injured. -Move to Oregon where
we have no such storms.
. All accounts agree in tbe statement
that the present Indian outbreak began
without any provocation whatever on
the part of tbe whites. Joseph's band,
Salmon ri ver,and other renegade Indians
precipitated the outbreak. From the
Oregonian ot Wednesday we condense
the following :
George Popham, wbo witnessed the
first attack on Salmon river, and much
ot the fight between the Indians and
soldiers on the 17th, makes tbe follow
ing statement :
1 was stopping at Jack Manuel's, my
son-in-law's, since last tall. The first
alarm we had was on Thursday about
noon, when we saw three Indians go
past. Soon after Mr. Baker and Fruth
came to Manuel's and told us that the
three Indiat.s just passed bad shot Sam
Benedict in the legs. Mr. Baker want
ed to come to the prairie and inform
the people, but Manuel did not deem it
safe for any of them to leave. Mr. Ba
ker went home, and in a short time re
turned with Pat. Price, and intended to
come to Mount Idaho. They had only
gone a short ; distance when they saw
the Zndians coming. Baker, Manuel,
and wife, and childien started to go
down to Baker's house ; had got but a
short way when they were surrounded
by the Indians, about twenty in number.
They killed Baker and Manue. Mrs.
Manuel fell trom her horse and they
ravished her. The little girl's arm was
broken and the babv boy was killed.
Mrs. Manuel got back to the house and
the JTudians told ber that if Price and
he: self would give up all the arms and
ammunition we had they would not
kill us. We gave up a Henry rifle and
shotgun. We kept secreted that night
and Friday night. On Saturday, at
about 11 A. M., the Zndiane came down
the road from the prairie, went to the
brush and stayed all night, I also took
to tho timber on Sunday morning.
They burned the house, and Mrs. Man
uel and child were burned in it. The
Indians were all camped on the creek,
and the squaws below. About day
light the fight commenced between the
Tndians and soldiers, and continued
about one hour, when the troops fell
back and 7" saw no more ot them. The
Tiidians told me they were going to
cross Salmon river. They killed a large
band of cattle and bad a great many
horses belonging to settlers. Tiidians
told me that they had sent a message
up the Snake river and that there was a
large lot of Jndians who would join
them, and that they had plenty of good
guns ; that they would kill arid capture
all the country about Weiser, Payette
and Boise alleys, with Boise City.
They also said runners bad been sent to
Falouse, Spokane, Columbia river and
Umatilla tribes, who would join them,
and that they would capture the whole
country about the Snake aud Clearwater
rivers, including Lewiston. Tbey said
it would take them two months to ac
complish it and then they would have
a good time. On Monday I started to
Mount Idaho. In the afternoon they
headed me off and went back, but came
up the creek that night, but did not
feel satisfied and went back. I learned
nothing more aod on Tuesday morning
again started. I come through the
bru h and timber and reached the fort
at 7 P. M. Price left White Bird at 3
P. M. Sunday, packing the little 6
years old girl, by permission of the In
dians. He stated that he saw on the
road nine dead soldiers. Thev were all
scalped and horribly mutilated. Hear
rived at Mount Idaho Monday evening,
where they now remain. I think there
must have been from 150 to 200 en
gaged in the fight Sunday morning.
On the 20th Chapman and bis scouts
found H. C. Brown and wife near the
Cottonwood house and brought them in.
Ou the 21st chapman's scouts went to
the vicinity of the battlefield and saw
several dead soldiers horribly mutiluted.
Learned trom a Chinaman that all the
buildings on Salmon from Brown's, be
low the mouth of White Bird, up to
Slate creek, were burned, and ail the
cattle and horses driven off. Latest re
ports are to the effect that the Indiana
have all crossed Salmon river at Horse
shoe Bend, with all their plunder, and
are believed to be heading for Payette
and Weiser river valleys, with all their
warriors, estimated by sonm at 300.
Dispatches the 24th say that Gen. How
ard and Col. Perry met at Cottonwood
and that the combined force was to
move the next day for tbe old battle
ground.
Gen. Howard telegraphed to Col.
Wood a full list of the settlers who were
massacred. The list includes 15 men,
one woman and two children a total
of 18. So far ascertained this is all the
citizens who have been massacred by
the Indians.
Gen. McDowell has been instructed
by Gen. Sherman to have the Indians
pursued as fast as possible and pay no
attention whatever to boundary Hues ot
different military command ere; bat to
pawn the Indians whenever caught.
Clumsy legislation has left Tennessee
without any law against horse-stealing,
larceny from the person, , house or bridge
burning, house breaking with intent to
commit robberv. The old laws against
these crimes were so severe that tbe last
legislature repealed them, bat forgot to i
restore the old law or enact a new one.

Testimonials.
Dr. Nicklin, ot Eugene City, says:
"Yotir Balm is one ot the best preserved
herbs T ever saw, and is worthy of a higher
price than you put upon it."
Rev. S. K. Raymond, of Oakland, Ore
gon, says : went to California to recov
er from Consumption. The Doctors there
gave me up, and told me if I had any
friends I wished to see I had better go and
see them, as I could live but a little while
longer. On my way to Oregon I com
menced using Mountain Balm; it helped
me; I continued its use until it cured me of
the disease.'
Mr. W. T. Osborne, of Eugene City,
says : "I know a young man who appeared
to be in the last stages of consumption,
and by using Mountain Balm or Yerbasan
ta he became a healthy young man."
Joseph P. Moore, Esq., of Milville. Cal..
says : "I have been acquainted with the
shrub known as Ycrbasanta for 20 years,
aud know it to be a very valuable medicine,
both for the Lungs and Rheumatism."
Mr. Kimball, oi Kimbafl & Welton, Red

for many years, and know it to be a great
Lung medicine."
"I left Missouri with the consumption.
Reached Rock Point, Jackson county. Or.,
and was taken down. I took a tincture of
Mountain Balm, and chewed the leaf more
