THE WAR.
{ From the Patriot | Sr. Perersspure, April 6. The Earl of Salisbury’s circular was com- municated to Gortschakoff yesterday.
It is said in official circles that a great many of the British objections might have been removed in Congress, but it is now altogether impossible to imagine any pacific solution.
The majority of the officials here, as well as the public in general, regard war inevi- table, and do not show the slightest dis- position to shrink from the grave conse- quences of a long struggle, which they now prettly cleary torsee.
Moscow, April 6.
A society which was formed here some time ago to aid the Russian maritime com- merce have unanimously resolved to open subscriptions throughout the Russian Em- pire, to organize a volunteer fleet of light vessels for the purpose of destroying the enemy $ commerce.
In accordance with Russia’s advice to prepare for a renew of war, Montengro will immediately raise her forces to 25,000 men, who are to be armed with Martini-Henri rifles.
The Roumanian threat towards Roumania have profound sensation.

Lonpon, Apvil 6.
Count Andrassy has replied to the Earl of Salisbury. He declares that he also re- gards the acceptance of the treaty as irapos- sible, and asks for specific stipulations from England.
It is the present intention of the Govern- ment tokeep the channel squadron near Malta, so as to be available for the trans- portation of troops therefrom, Every ar- rangement has been made so_ that 3,000 or 4,000 troops can be embarked in a few hours.

Harly Rising.
A writer in Harper has been studying the subject of early rising, and has come to a slightly different conclusion to that of the early philosopher. Me says :—‘‘The gene- ral axioms on the subject of early rising which were enunciated by Franklin do not apply to the present. day nor to city life. What is gained even for useful work by rising at six, and then being obliged to take a nap in the middle of the day? Why not do wp all our sleeping at once, and have a clear sweep for work! If, again, one could carefully rake up and cover the embers of his fire at 9p. m., and sleep the sleep of the righteous till six, he might possibly rise at six, or even five, though why, even in that case, any sane person should insist on doing two hours’ work before eating, and call such action virtue, I could never under- stand. 1 myself know two young women, of New England birth and training, who, though they go into much evening society, and are frequently awake at midnight or after each week during the New York win- ter,yet persist in being punctual every morn- ing at the half-past seven breakfast of the family. True, they have no appetites ; true, they take long naps in the afternoon ; true, they break down every year by March ; yet they gallantly go to the assault every autumn, aud would feel ashamed and guilt if they did otherwise. So strong is the force of supersition !

On the Science of Patching.
Will you allow me to give the result of a rather large experience in the science of patching? I shali begin with the perhaps original axiom that a patch must be rectan- gular. A round er “crooked” one will in- evitably thrust itself into notice, as it is im- possible to match the threads. Then a patchs should never be “‘laid on,” but al- ways ‘‘set in.” To this end, first cut away
carefully by a thread all that is in the least
worn, and turn back and baste down an seam all around. The corners may be slashed slightly ina diagonal direction to keep them square. Then to this opening fit the patch exactly, with the edges turned and basted ; sow it in ‘‘over and over” on the wrong side with thread of the. precise shade and very fine, sewing alternate oppo- site sides to avoid trouble with the corners. The extra thickness caused by the folded corners of the patch itself should be cut out after sewing, and a little fine darning added to keep them secure. Now slightly dampen and press on the wrong side, and you have aneat piece of mending which cannot ) seen a few feet away.
Figures and striped goods must of course |
be carefully matched; heavy wogllen fa- brics, such as men and boys wear, need not have seams turned, the clean cut edge being strong enough to held.
My method, when properly followed, will Ithink, draw from more than one little boy the surprised question :— Sf Why ! mother, are these new trousers? I don’t see any patchos.”—New York Post.

When a certain Lady Rolle refused, soon after her husband’s death, to let the hounds go out, a learned sergeant-at-law asked Chief Justicg Tyndal whether there would be any harm if they were allowed to do so with a piece of crape around their necks. “Tecan hardly think,” said Sir Nicholas, ‘*that a piece of crape is necessary ; it will surely suftice if they are in full ery.”
One of the dangers of home life is this habit of disrespect—that which is bred by familiarity. People who are all beauty and sunshine for a crowd of strangers, for whom
| they have not the slightest affection, and
all ugliness and gloom for their own, by whose love they live. The pleasant little prettiness of dress and personal adornment, which make the desire to please, are put on purely for the admiration of those whose admiration goes for nothing, while the house companions are treated only to the ragged gowns and threadbare coat, the tousled hair and stubby beard, which, if marking the ease and comfort or the sans facon of home, mark also the indifference and disrespect that do so much damage to the sweetness and delicacy of daily life. And what is true of the dress is still truer of the manners and tempers of home, in both of which we often find too, that want of respect which seems to yun side by side with afiection in the custom of familiarity. It is a regretable habit under any of its con- ditions, but never more so than when it in- vades the home and endangers still more that which is already too much endangered by other things. Parents and bringers-up do not pay enough attention to. this in the young, They allow habits of disrespect to be formed— rude, rough, insolent, and im- patient, and salve over the sore with the stereotyped excuse, ‘‘ they mean nothing by it,” which, if they look at it aright, is worse than no excuse at all; for if they really do mean nothing by it, and their dis respect is not what it seems to he, the re- sult of strong anger, or uncontrollable tem- per, but js merely a habit, then it ought to be conquered without the loss of time, be- ing merely a manner that hurts all parties alike.

Traits of a Gentleman.
Why does every traveller feel that an Arab is a gentleman, or that a Turk is a gentleman ? Because both the Turk and the Arab manifest perfect self-possession, without a touch of self- assertion, have an air of command devoid of arrogance, are tranquil amid riot, and composed' amid difficulty and disturbance. These qual- ities seem to us to spring from habits of com- mand, and from an inherent sense of superi- ority, and the observation will apply with equal force to English gentlemen. A gentle- man is a gentleman, and there’s au end on’t. -He does not want to be anybody else, because he does not recognize any superior, save of the titular or disciplinary sort. Your vulgar per- son, or even your person who, without being vulgar, is not a gentleman, is conscious of his inferiority, and periodically labors to conceal or cloud it. There is no concealing it, and the attempt only exposes the fact more glaringly to view. ‘This sort of person, too, is not calm, not self-possessed; he is fussy, solicitous, dom- ineered by circumstances instead of quietly settling down toa level with them. This by no means implies that a gentleman must not cope with circumstances when they are im- portant eneugh to demand the exercise of his energies. But when he comes out of the bat- tle, or the senate, or the hunting-fieid, no mat. ter what he has gone through, he is composed and"quiet once more. He never swaggers; he never makes unnecessary apologies or explana- tions. He takes things as he finds them. Now and then, no doubt, the idiosyncrasies of genius will lend an exceptional fervor to the manner of a gentieman; Lady Bessiegton was so un- aware of this that she expressed herself sur- prised that Byron’s manner in conversation was not as quiet as she would have expected from a person of his rank. The observation was at once stupid and snobbish. There is no cut-
%| and-dry receipt fora gentleman; but he is as
unmistakable to those who know one, as the color of a flower, or the scent of a leaf.

The Only Resort.-The Detroit Free Press thus muses on the situation :—He stood shiver ing around the Central Market, a drop of rain finding its way down his spinal columy now and then. He recognized the fact that the season had closed, and that sleeping under sheds had become cold and monotonous. ‘I’ve got to lay out plans for the winter,” he was heard musing as he dived into his empty pock.- eis, ‘I’m kinder ’fraid that the public are sick of grasshopper and fire sufferers, and I know they_are up to snuff on the dodge of the clergyman driven out of Arkansaw by the Ku- Klux. Let’s see: I might be a Russian or a Turkish exile, but I can’t talk the language. i might be a settler driven out of Idaho by the Injuns, but the war is ended. All these kerosene and gunpowder accidents are old, the public don’t care any more who gets hurt on the railroads, and my eyes are too good to play off blind: "Nother hand organ wouldn’t pay, the chestnut business is too cold, and folks won't buy any more tooth-ache cure. Hang it, all the dodges are played, and here I am huugry asa wolf and ciothes all gone! It looks as if the day wasn't far off when we'll all have to go to work and wear ourselves down to the bone to get a living.”

Rossini, walking one day in Passy with a friend, passed a stout street musician sing- ing to a guitar, in the most horrible man- ner, the serenade from J! Barbiere. The composer stopped and gave the vocalist a piece of money. ‘‘What,” said his friend, astonished—‘‘you encourage such a robust mendicant? He has no infirmity needing pity.” ‘Oh,’ returned Rossini, ‘* didn’t you hear the voice with which he is afflict- ed 2”

Derrmirion’s Arrrut Arp.—‘* What is a junction, nurse?’ asked a seven-year-old fairy, the other day, of an elderly lady who stood by her side on a railway platform, ‘“A junction, my dear,” answered nurse, with the air of a very superior person in- deed, ‘‘why, it’s a place where two roads separates, ”
Billings says :—‘‘Thare iz no inan who needs so much watching az the one who iz all the time watcHing some one else.”
The Suitan has a handy way of paying bor- rowed money. He suddenly discovers that the lender is a conspirator, aud said capitalist is at once lost sight of.
At twenty you know everything; at thirty you have your doubts; at forty there are some things you don’t know; at fifty you ave sure only of your ignorance.
‘“Yaw, she’s a deuced fine gwirl, and alt that, you know, Charlie: but I cawnt throw myself away on anything less thawn a hundred thawsand, yer know, old fellaw !”
‘Tl say, John, when did you get that horrible locking hat?’ ‘Please, yer honour,” said John, “it’s an old one of yours that Missis gave me yesterday when you went to town.”
Dean Swift said that the reason a certain university was a learned place was that most persons took some learning there, and but few brought any away with them, and so it accu- mulated.
The longest sentence on record was cotr- structed by a western judge. He sentenced a man for life, and afterwards slapped two more years to the sentence because the prisoner called him ‘“‘no gentleman.”
A nigger minstrel is sitting for his carte in character. Operator—‘‘Now, sir, look pleas- ant-—smile a httle.” Minstrel smiles. ‘‘Oh! that will never do. [tis too wide for the in- strument.”
‘*A Fellow Iecling Makes us Wondrous Kind.” —‘*Wha*! going to leave us, James?’ ‘*Yes, sir; Lam very sorry, sir; but I really can’t put up with missus any ‘onger.” ‘Ah, James!" Think how long I’ve put up with her.”
‘“‘My wife,” remarked one benedict to an- other, ‘‘has just the loveliest head of hair you ever saw. When she lets it down, it reaches in a mass of ringlets below her waist.” ‘“Thats nothing,” replies the other; “when my wife. lets her’s down, it falis to the floor.”
‘“‘What are you after, my dear?” said a grandmother to a little boy, who was sid- ling along a room, and casting fusitive glances at a gentleman who was payinga visit. ‘“‘I am trying, grandma, to papa’s hat out of the room without letting the gentleman know it; he wants him to think he’s out.”
Matrimony among deaf mutes has its dis- advantages as well as its swects—at least sb thinks the husband in Lafayette, Ind., who returning home late found his door locked against him. No amount of pounding was loud enough to arose his sleeping -spouse, and he was forced to smash a window and crawl into his dwelling.
A man, to,whom some wonderful story was told on the authority of a penny paper, declined to believe it, saying he distrusted all he saw in “cheap prints.” ‘Why shouldn’t you believe the cheap papers,” he was asked, ‘‘as soon as others?” ‘‘Be- cause,” was the ready answer, “I don’t think they can afford to speak fhe truth for the money.”
Scene in Horse-car.—Enter determined looking female, to whom a slender-looking gentleman offers his seat. ‘‘I always like to oblige the weaker sex,” affably remarked the youth. ‘‘Weaker sex, indeed! Any more of your impertinence, young man, and you'll see whether I’m weak or not!” Then assuming a defiant air, she gratefully sat down in the vacant seat.
_Wheeling, W. Va., has a very eccentric storekeeper, who will not sell an article of any kind toa cross-eye man, or one who wears his hat on the side of his head. If he leaves his house to go to his place of business and meets a cross-eyed man, he will return home, take off his hat and coat,
before again venturing out.
