WHERE DID THEY COME FROM?

A strange lingual diffleulty has arisen in the Liverpool (ng.) Workhouse, where, a few days ago, there suddenly appeared a party of em!grants—men, women and chil- dren — whose language the, officials were unable to understand, Interpreters were summoned, and the strangers were ad- dressed in French, German, Italian, Span. ish, Polish, Russian, and, finally, all the other European languages, but not one word did they understand, and their names,

Though fired from a deck above the sur- face of the sea, the torpedo will at once dive down to the distance wished, and then proceed in an unerring line on its mission of death and devastation, it being calcul: ated to make a breach of seventy feet in bursting. No vessel, however buiit, could long continue to float after such a blow, and the demoralizing effect of such a diss aster on the rest of a fleet may be easily

York Times says that during the present week there is a prospect of lively times in the iron business of the State concerning a proposed suspension of 60 days of all the iron manufacturers east and west of the Alleghanies. The lap-welded iron manu. facturers have had a long session here, when the question of suspending their branch of business came up and was lost by one vote, it requiring a unanimous yote to suspend, At the concluding session to- night it was agreed to postpone the consid. eration of the matter until co operation can be secured with the other branches of the trade. A general meeting will be held here at an early day, when the question will be considered, and there scems to be no doubt that 4 gre3t curtailment of even the small amount of manufacturing will result. In this view of the case the operators who are organizing under the name of the Sons of Vulcan are preparing for a strike if their wages are reduced, which course will, no doubt, be pursued west of the Alleghanies. The agreement regulating

engaged in the iron manufactures expires tosmorrow. It is understood that§ the manufacturers as an associated body will not pay the rates for puddiing that have ruled for the past year, but will make a reduction. If the employes accept the

A curious incident, showing the shrewd ness of the Canadian border smugglers, has just come to light. In February last Major W. B. Moore, chief of the Treasury special agents, in order to discover the modus operandi of the smugglers, sent Detective Bell, of Babcock trial noteriety, under an assumed name, to purchase $2,800 worth of * prinellas,”’ or shoe lastings, in Mon. treal, the purchase being with the under-~ standing that the goods were to be deliver- ed on this side the border without payment ofduty. The detectives then Kept a sharp lookout for the goods to see how the duty was evided. he smugglers outwitted them, and the result was that the goods came through to New York as per arrange- ment, without payment of duty, and were seized there as Snuggled goods, the Trea~ sury agents having utterly failed in their plot to to discover how they got across the border. Up to this time the Treasury

agents have been unabie to trace the trunk across the frontier.

Reuter’s dispatch from Erzeroum, dated Tuesday, describes the positions of the op- posing armies as follows: The Russian right wing is at Nessipeneck, and the ads vance guard thereof has reached Kalidagh. Cavairy patrols belonging to the Russian centre had advanced as far as Vezinvasian. The left wing is now only 6,000 strong, and the main body thereto is at Utchkilessa. The advance has had a skirmish with the Turks at Toprak Kaleh. A column is also stationed at Ardiche. The main body of the Turkish left wing is at Alti, with a detatchment near Ardahan.
