FUTURE; An ofliciaLreport from the' seat of the Eastern war, dated November ,2f, con tains some facts of interest The aggre gate effective mihtary force at that date; under the orders of the Grand Duke was! 225,000 infantry, 30,000 cavalry, and 1 , 200 guns. About one-tenth of the JJjrce consists of Roumanians. The forcesop posing these in Plevna and within the quadrilateral, numbered upward of 200, 000. In Asia the Turkish army os Mukh tar is reported as virtually destroyed. The army of the Grand Duke Michael in the vicinity of Erzcroum numbers more than 50,000 men. The Turkish losses in kill ed, wounded and prisoners of the cam paign up to the dj.ie of the dispatch, foot up at 175,000, men as follows : At Plev na, 00,000; in the three previous battles of Plevna, 15,000; Shipka Pass, 20,000; on the Lorn in September, SO, 000; Sisfo va, Nikopol, Kezanik, Lovea. Tzaleirtza, etc.. 10,000; in Asia, 15,000. These losses do not include the prisoners taken at Ni kopol, Dubruk, Telis and in Asia, of which the number is 30,000. The official statement of Russian losses in battle makes them 70090 men, or somewhat greater than those of the Turks. In speak ing of the determination of the Czar to make a winter campaign, the writer of the dispatch says that unless peace intervenes the task will be one of enormous difficul ties. The supply of nearly half a million of men and 100,(K0 horses mainly depend it ion the irregular transportation across the Danube since the ice has swept the bridges away. Between the Lorn and the Isker, Bulgaria can furnish practically nothing. West of the Isker there are large quantities of grain and cattle, enough in General Ghourko's opiniou for 50,000 men for a year, but they can be reached only by bad roads. The main, depen dence, therefore, he says, must lie upon supplies from Russia, 4H) miles distant: In this way the crops of Southern' Russia now closed from exportation, may be util ized. To the Danulie from the north there is a single track railroad, and to the South a road hub deep with mud, leads through the Shipka Pass, 'which hits an elevation of 5,000 feet. In view of winter orations, contracts for the building of railroads from Fraterkte to Simnitznand' from Sistova to Tirnova, with possible branches to Aiela, Plevna, and Sofia, were entered into. The first road is now ready and the other nearly so. At present all supplies are transported by Russian peasant carts at aost of$S4 per month for each; one of these carries 2,HX) pounds. 1 lie Rus sians expected to find abundant supplies AUDACITY.

There are in existence several collec tions of pa Kirs which are said to. -'be-files of the ancient Acta Dntnin, published in Roniell- fc-T-nSf). Tlwre has lieen .some disjmtes as to the genumeness of those collection?, but there seems to bugood reason fo lelieviiig them. to be th rce (trds of fh dairy occurrences of tM Ro man capital. They "were in manuscript and posted in two or three consjieuous places through the city, where the people could gather and read the news..' The Acta Dm rna is mentioned l.y Seneca, Suetonius and Tacitus. As an exanile of this ancient ionrnalism the followimr is given : "4th of Calendsf April, the faces with Livinius: the Consul. It thun dered ; an oak was struck with lightning on that part of Mount Palatine call Suin nia Velia early in the afternoon. An af- i ! -.1 1 tray nai)penea in a tavern at the lower end of Banker's street, in which the keep er of the I login-Armor Tavern was dan gerously wounded. Tertinius, the Edile, fined the butchers for selliug meat which had not been inspected by the overseers of the markets. The liyle is to le cm- ployed in building a "temple- to' the gml- dessTellus." . , Such was the news some of -these . pa pers contained, and it shows that the wants of the ancients were not much dif ferent from those of the moderns of to day. A freak of lightening, a row in - a bar room, and the arrest and line of vio lators of the law, were then, as now, mat ters of public interest. But during the reign of the successors of the Csesars the paper was discontinued, and we hear no more of the news publications until A; D. In that year . there was published i n Venice a paper called the (lazitta. It was in manuscript, and was put - lorth once a month. The enterprise was ; en tered into to inform the people of Venice of the progress of the war with Tnrkey. There are now thirty volumes of this pe riodical in the Magghatecchi Library -at Florence. The papers are all in manu script There has been a little dispute as to the origin of this word G a sett a, some claiming that it was derived from the Latin gaza, a treasury, and some from the ltaliau ffazzn, a magpie, or chatterer. Others, again, say that the paper tookits name from the gazfitta, a coin of small value, which was the price of the paper. Whatever its origin, the name has held its own dosrn to the present day, and is familiar to everyone. 'My dearest Violet, what do you think? Here is Captain Thornycroft's carriage at the door.

SUPPORT OF THE CLERGY. The relation between pastor and people is one of mutual dependence. The people look to the pastor for instruction, for counsel, for sacraments. He is an ambas sador, a minister, a steward- The pastor looks to the people fo.r-his just.' supjiort, for sympathy and and love. If, for any reason they withhold his just dues, he must suffer. If he contract debts which he cannot pay, he lias brought dishonor upon himself and people, and reproach to the Church of Christ. They have no right to take it for granted that because he got on some way last week he will get ou some other way next week. Do not, 1 pray you treat the messenger of Christ as you w juld not treat your hired servant Whatever you do, do it cheerfully, do it lovingly, do it promptly'.-" It is just as easy to pay a pastor s salary monthly in advance as to pay it half year after it is due. There is nothing that will take the life and manhood Out of aman so much as to lie harassed by anxious fears for his support. If our clergy were paid promptly it would give cheerfulness to their inter course with the people; it would destroy all roots of bitterness, it would make them a hundred fold better preachers and pastors. Show me a parish which is as it ought to ha, as the Lord's dear family anil I will show you a people who are faithful to their pastor, and a pastor who is bound by the closest ties to the people. Most of the changes which arc so perilous to work, and so injurious to the peop!e,coiuc is necessa nancial matters as ness success. ' 'Undoubtedly! gagement ring.'"'

Ha claimed that his accident resulted in pa ralysis of his legs, so that these were as if dead, as far as movement and feeling were concerned. The efforts ot the defense were to show that he was shamming, and so medical exjierts were called, pin stuck into his legs, cuts made ammonia applied and ether given, yet he never winced, and the muscles never contracted.
