NEWS BY TELEGRAPH.

New York, Oct. 7. Reports from New Orleans yesterday show a general increase of fever. Want and destitution prevail. Forty thousand additional rations are to be distributed by order of the Government. There have been 59 deaths and 182 new cases in the last 34

hours. The news from Memphis is more encouraging. The weather is cooler and

deaths decreasing ; only 23 occurred yes- terday. The epidemic increases in Missis sippi and an urgent call is made for nurses.

‘The Cheyenne Indians are being closely pursued through Northern Nebraska by several detachments of troops, and prob- ably have been overtaken. It is reported that the savages at the Spotted Tail agency have left their reservation and are com- mitting depredations in the surrounding country.

Lonpon, Oct. 7.

A fresh element of uncertainty has been introduced into the Eastern question by the action of Italy in seeking for herself and other Mediterranean powers the right of participating in the administration of Egypt.

Eprypuran, Oct. 7.

It is understood that Saturday’s Cabinet Council generally approved the manner in which the Scotiman’s London correspondent telegraphs. (/)

CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 7.

The Council of State has drawn up re- gulations defining Ministerial responsibility for the future in Turkey.

The Russian Commissioner of Roumelia has made a statement that the Russian au- thorities will administer that Province in accordance with the San Stefano Treaty, and not the Treaty of Berlin.

Bucuargst, Oct. 7.

At a secret sitting on Sunday the Cham- bers resolved to close the Session with a resolution declaring that Roumania sub-

mits to the collective will of the powers as manifested by the Treaty of Berlin.

Lonpon, Oct. 6.

A special despatch from: Bombay says troops have been ordered to advance from Dera Ghakeham, thus threatening Afgha- nistan from a new point. It is reported that dissensions have broken out among great Afghanistan chiefs. The death of a powerful Southern chief is also reported. The Amecr has asked Tribal Councils for assistance. It is believed that tribes mas- tering 150,000 fighting men have assented: other tribes, numbering 53,000 warriors, remain neutral. The Ameer liberated from prison his son Yacob Khan, who, with the garrison of Peshawar, is marching against Ali Musjid. It is reported that the place is captured.

The Government will issue a pruclama- tion announcing its intentions on Monday.

The ‘‘ Stanadard,” commenting on the Cabinet meeting of Saturday, says it seems likely the course will be adopted represent- ing compromise between extreme counsels, and will consist of occupying and holding the mountain passes and possibly advancing to Candahar before Christmas, in order that the army may be in readiness for fur- ther operations, but with a hope that the Ameer may, in the meantime, be compelled to submit. The ‘‘ Standard” urges that in that event England should not rest content with a mere apology, however abject, but should insist on a solid guarantee.

The ‘‘ Standard’s” Bombay despatch says it wasintended to attack Ali Masjid on Monday. The Afghan army is proceeding to Koorul.

A despatch from Arjeeling says 200 men of each regiment at Peskawar, and horse artillery with forty pionecr batteries, have gone to Jamrood. It is reported that four Afghan regiments, with six guns, advanced to the mouth of Khyber Pass. Many white and Sepoy regiments are hastening to the frontier. Commissariat arrange- ments cause grave complaints.

Lonpon, Oct. 7.

The Times, summarizing its Indian ad- vices, says it is not considered expedient to hazard an advance on Candahar at present, unless an opportunity fora coup de main offers, which is not improbable.

A despatch from Simla says the Ameer detained a native emissary from the Vice- roy until the 28th of September to carry an answer to the Viceroy’s letters.

A despatch from Simla says the British troops occupied Janrood and subsequently stormed the fortress of Ali Muszid in Khy- ber Pass. Several of the hill tribes joined the English.

It is reported that only two subordinate officials of the Russian Mission remain at Cabul.

It is belived that the Ameer will repudi- ate the acts of Commandant Ali Musjid, but his agreement to the British terms is improbable.

eile

Sima, Oct. 7. The Indian newspapers publish reports of the capture of Ali Musjid, but no official information. Beri, Oct. 7.

A despatch to the North German Gazette from St. Petersburg says if the Ameer is beaten and his territory annexed, Russia will oceupy Merv and Balkh, in Southern Turkestan, near Afghan border.

Lonpon, Oct. 7. The Viceroy of India is dealing with Af- ghanistan affairs, and it has been decided to leave the matter very much in the hands | of the Indian Government.

Good Society.

Many parents who have sons and daugh- ters growing up are anxious for them to get into good society. This is an honorable anxiety, if it interprets good society after some lofty fashion. Parents, your daugh- ter is in good society when she is with girls who are sweet, and pure, and true-hearted; who are not vain and frivolous; who think of something else besides dress, or flirting, or marriage; between whom and their par- ents there is confidence; who are useful as well as ornamental in the house; who cul- tivate their minds, and train their hands to skilful workmanship. If society of this sort is not to be had, then none at all is prefer- able to a worthless article. See to it that you impress this on your children, and above all, that you do not encourage them to think that good society is a matter of fine clothes, or wealth, or boasting to be somebody. As you value your child’s soul, guard her against these miserable counter- feits; and impress upon her that intelli- gence, and simplicity, and modesty, and goodness, are the only legal coin. The same rule holds for boys as well as for girls. You would have these enter good society. Do not imagine that you have accomplished it when you have got them in with a set of boys whuse parents are wealthier than you, who dress better than your boy can afford to, and who pride themselves on their social position. Good society for a boy is the sc- ciety of boys who are honest and straight- forward, who have no bad habits, who are earnest and ambitious. They are not in a hurry to be men. They are not ambitious for the company of shallow, heartless wo- men, old enough to be their mothers, and are not envious of their friends who fancy there is something grand in dulling all the edge of their heart’s hope upon such jaded favorites. There is nothing sadder than. to see either young men or women priding themselves upon the society which they en- joy, when verily it is a Dead Sea apple that will choke them with its dust, when they need some generous juicy fruit to cool their lips and stay the hunger of their souls !

PLAYING UPON PoPpuLaAR CREDULITY,— A trial has just resulted at Riazan, Russia, in the condemnation of the accused per- sons to trans tion into Siberia. A band of five—consisting of an old woman named Tehoubaref and her two daughters, a re- tired trumpeter named Vripaief, and a peasant named Anosof—conspired to play upon popular credulity. The three women took a house, in which they fitted up several rooms for prayer--covering the walls with holy images and other articles, which, as as they asserted, had been brought from Jerusalem, Kieff, and various places of pilgrimage. The people who flocked to these rooms were only admitted on yA ment of a good round sum, and the three women earned a great reputation for piety by their devout exterior. They then took Vripaief and Anosof to lodge with them ; and the former went about the country celebrating their praise, while Anosof pre- tended to be endowed with the gift of prophecy. Anosof played his part so well that his confederates were enabled to col- lect a large sum of money for building a convent and hospital—one of their first victims being a nun. Their doings at last attracted the attention of the police, and at the trial 80 witnesses proved the charges.

Tue Constantinople correspondent of the London Times fears that when the Russians and the English have all withdrawn from the neighborhood of Constantinople the populace, which is now swollen by thou- sands of refugees and deserters, and har- assed by want of means, the high price of bread, and the depreciation of paper cur- rency, will be easily incited to outrage and to attempts at revolution.

In speaking of a biography, just pub- lished, of Earl Beaconstield, London Truth has the audacity to say that the word is ‘‘embellished with an artistic portrait of a somewhat bibulous-looking personage, whose towering forehead is partially over- shadowed by a curl like a door knocker.”

Inp1a.— The latest accounts from India are that the British are preparing to make war on the Ameer of Cabul withuut delay, and that they are concentrating troops #0 as to threaten several important positions at once.

The People Want Proof.

There is no medicine prescribed by physi- cians, or sold by Druggists, that carries such evidence of its success and superior virtues as Boscner’s GERMAN Syrup for severe Coughs, Colds settled on the breast, Consumption, or any disease of the Throat and Lungs. A proof of that fact is that any person afflicted, can get a Sample Bottle for 10 cents and try its

superior effect before buying the regular size at 75 cents, It has lately been introduced in this country from y, and its wonderful
