A Terrible Ride. Wednesday night a drummer for a Pittsburg boot and shoe house, considerably under the in fluence of liquor, mistook his route, and droye his team upon the trestle bridge of the Edenburg, Summit and Clarion Railroad, just this side of the Clarion river, supposing it to be the wagon road. The trestle bridge is sixty thought convenient and in virtue of feet up from the ground, and about the the prescription of article 89 of the constitution of the monarchy.

The extension of the premises of the American exchange and reading rooms, in London, was made necessary by an increase of the business. The entire second story of the building, hereto fore partly occupied, has been added. The addition was thrown open to the public on Saturday, when five hundred Americans sojourning in London vis ited the rooms. A Rome dispatch says that crowds broke the windows which were illumi nated for the Pope's coronation, and were dispersed by the troops. CUBAN AFFAIRS. Important Proclamation in Reference to Slaves and Slave Owners. Respectfully, Jan 5 TO INSPECT IT AND GET MY PRICES, , G . HL O 3F 3HLS, FURNITURE DEALER, Removed next door to Post Office, Havana, March 4- The proclama tion issued at Pueto Principe, signed by Captain General Jovellar and Gen eral Matinz Campos, says : Whereas, The insurgents are sur rendering their arms, and, whereas, a majority of the slaves who took part in the insurrection did not figure in the census formed in the year 1870, or beloi eed to masters who participated directly or indirectly in the insurrec tion, thereby acquiring their liberty dt facto, and, whereas, the sentiment is taken into the account which in spired the present law of the gradual emancipation of the slaves in this island : therefore, authorized by the home government, we proclaim : Article 1. All slaves, of both sexes, who were in the files of the insurgents on the 10th of February , will be freed if thev present themselves to the leeit imate authorises or the government troops before the last day of March. Art 2. The former owners of, these freedmen have no right to indemnity if thev took part in tbe insurrection London, March 4 A special to the Standard from Vienna aeserts that two divisions of Austrians will enter Bos nia in about ten tray. The Standard's correspondent at Vi enna, states that the Austrian and the British ambassadors are instructed to protest if the Russians enter Constan tinople. The TiTnes1 St Petersburg and Pera correspondents confirm the report that the treaty of peace has been signed. At St Petersburg the enthusiasm over the news of peace was unprecedented, the crowd before the palace shouting and singing, "God save the Czar." The Pera correspondent says tbe treaty was signed Saturday. Thirty-one thousand troops were re viewed at San Stefano. The Te Deum was sung amid great enthusiasm. The correspondent ot the Times at San Stefan o is able to state that neither tbe surrender of a portion of the Turk ish fleet, nor a claim on the Egyptian tribute is included iu the conditions; no interference with a portiou of the Turkish revenue is hypothecated to foreign creditors. Nothing is definite ly settled relative to the indemnity, but it will principally be in tbe form of territory in Asia, inoluding Kara and Batoum. Erzerouin, Salonica and Ad rian ople are not included in Bulgaria. Tbe Daily Telegraph's Pera corres pondent professes to give the condi tions of peace. Ue makes 1,400 mil lion roubles with forty million sterling in bonds added. The Paris correspondent of the Tmes telegraphs as follows: "Lord Lyons British ambassador here, will go to London on Tuesday, presumably to confer orally with tbe government about bis course at the conference." A dispatch to Reuters from Constan tinople, under date of March 3rd, by way of El Arich, says that previous to the signature of the treaty of peace, General Ignatieff demanded that Tur key should unite with Europe in de fending all its stipulations before the conference. Safavet Pasha refused to accede to this. Gen Ignatieff then telegraphed to St Petersburg for in structions. It is not known how the question was settled. Russia agreed not to include calonica, in Bulgaria. It includes Bourgas, Varna and Kus- tendje. The money indemnity of forty million pounds originally claimed in addition to territorial cession was fin ally fixed at twelve million. St Peteesburo, March 4. Urand Duke Nicholas sent the following to the Emperor : "San Stefano, March 3. I do myself the honor of congratu lating Your Majesty upon the conclu sion of peace. God has vouchsafed to us the happiness of accomplishing the holy work begun by Your Majesty, ana on the anniversary of the enfranchise ment of the serfs Your Majesty has de livered the Christians from the Mussul man yoke." London, March 4. The Pera corres pondent of the Times says: "By giving up their hostile European provinces (at the same time receiving tribute from them and saddling them with a portion of the national debt) and con centrating the Mussulman and other territory contiguous to Constantinople, and making the concentration requir ed by the territorial 'concessions in Asia Minor, the Turks will create a new Qttornan power ten times strong er than when it was spread over a vast, badly organized and hostile territory." London, March 4. In the House of Lords, Lord Derby said the govern ment has received the terms of peace, but in an imperfect state. He could only say that the erms do not include the cession of the Turkish n,eet. ine indemnity is reduced t twelve million sterling, and the Egyptian tribute is not affected. In the Commons, the Secretary of State for war, in answer to a question said j V The matter ot the defence of the commercial ports of England is beir g carefully considered at the pres ent moment." , same length, but the horses made the crossing, feeling their way in the dark ness, step by step, every foot striking a tie securely, until the distance was tra versed, and tbey stood in safety on the other side ; and just in the nick of time, too, a8 the night express came thun dering by in five minutes after the drum mar and team had left the track. It is easy to imagine the terrible catas trophe that would have resulted bad the train overtaken the horses and man on the bridge. TLe watchman at the end of the trestle halted the drummer as he drove off the track, but was told to mind his own business. Ph iladcl phia. Times, th. Hydropathic Treatment Applied to Railroad Building. One of the most serious obstacles met with by Major Wilson in the railroad work on the Blue Ridge, is known as the "Mud Cut." The removal of the earth from the bed of the road has started a elide from the mountain above of about six acres, which, for many months past, has been coming in as fast as it could be removed by 50 hands, smashing, displacing and defying all timbers put in to arrest it, Determined not to be outdone, the major has conceived the idea of mak ing one element of nature fight an other, and is now engaged in turning the course of a mountain torrent into a reservoir 80 feet above the "cut," and intends, with hose and pipe, to sluice out and wash away the loose earthy as it pushes in, until it ceases. We have no doubt of the practica bility of the plan, and shall look with interest to the result of this "water cure" for a bad cut, which we believe is good surgery. Raleigh News. A Last Greeting, Among the numerous notable sympathetic cr?atioB8 of the celebrated artist, Gabriel Max, who stands first among the painters of the Munich schoo , are tbe touching scenes of the blind girl holding the lamp fur ber fellow believers to descend into the secret catacombs, and that of the poor motherless child, ' Julia Capalet," ca ried by the nun, also the crashed widow com pelled to look on the auction of her disdain ed property. But by many, "A Last Greet ing" is considered his master-piece. It represents a lovely maiden, who has been cast into the arena, in pagan Rome, to be devoured by the savage beasts, for the de lectation of tbe inhuman mob. She leans againsc the encircling stone wall ; at her feet, broken by their fall, lie Home simple wild flowers ; imploringly she looks up, seeking the hand from which tliey came. Her whole life, like some gigantic pano rama, swiftly flashes through her feverish brain, every act stands out with painful dis tinctness. Deeply she realizes how often that same strong hand, which now alone bestows a last farewell, had been proffered. Ably it would hare protected, beside ensur ing comfort, happiness, and health, had she not carelessly and disdainfully turned away. Women suffering trom those chronic weak nesses peculiar to their sex are prone to just such actions. Every day they hear of the Favorite Prescription of Dr R V Pierce, of the World's Dispensary and Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y. Thousands of these sufferers write in universal commendation of its great excellence and wcrth. Once within the dreaded pale of disease, it is worse than folly to be careless, and delay tbe use of this positive means of cure. Ladies suffering from weakness, bearing-down pain, or weak back, and nervous prostration, will find this a specific remedy. On receipt of $1.60, "The People's Common Sense Medical Adviser," a book of oyer nine hundred large pages, will be sent post-paid. It contains a clear and concise description of the nnmerous diseases with which women are afflicted. Address the author, R V Pierce, M. D., Buf falo, N. Y. MTEm A : MSI .
