NEWS FROM THE WAB. Gaily the paper man Touched his guitar, While he was reading the News from the war ; Singing: "You bet yeur boots Now herc'll be fun ; Wo don't care who it shoots, War has begun." He sang as how he knew, Six months before, ?Therc'd have to be a EuRopean war. Now ho was glad cuougli That it had come. And his heart laughed at the Roll of the drum. Hut when the Czar at last, Arming his youth, Sent l'etrovlnrsichravst Over to Pruth; When Ibraimrustchukus Met Stcliobielefstt, Siirhcd the newspaper man. "Give us iv rest."

Many are anxious to kuow.? Very respectfully, A Reader of tiie J. of C. In reply to the above note, which was received on Saturday, I would state that there are many young, handsome and eligible members of the lower house. It is of course iumossible iust now to nrcscat as complete a classification of the members as ' A Reader" would desire, but I will endeavor to give the best information attainaable. To begin with, Mr. R. R. Hemphill is the plainest member of the House, and lie is married, so he must be ruled out at once. Messrs. Sheppard, J. J. Hemphill, Youmans, Austin and Orr, arc all young, innocent, promising and eligible, aud 1 would recomuicud this quintcllc as the first batch to be chosen from. There are a good many crusty old bachelors and widowers iu the House, but they are evidently not so from choice, and I would, under no circumstances, rccouinicud them. It will take some time to classify the members, but as soon as it cau be done a carefully prepared directo ry will be published for the benefit of the fair sex.?Viuettk in Jour. of Commerce. A ijTrnrm nrr;t\ mn ATEftAn*.?The Darlington Ar<-?rs furnishes the following story : "Where affairs arc managed so reek lessly as to allow lunatics to sit on the jury, it is not to be wondered at if crime goes unpunished. Such was the case with the Court here last week, though not discovered until Saturday, when the jury was being empanelled for the last case?State against J. It. Wadford for murder, when a certain c.J. orcd man, who had set on the jury uud heard several important cases during the week, was called to be sworn, the counsel for tho defcuco objected to him on the ground that he was insane. The judge ruled that the fact would have to be proven before he could be objected to on that ground, when the counsel proceeded to question him as fullows : "Thouias, how about the war debt ?" Juror?"I paid it." Counsel?"Arc you engaged to Queeu Victoria ?" Juror?"Yes ; we arc gwine to be married in a short time." CYunsel?How much arc you worth, Torn ?" Juror?"My papers say four miilious." This convinced the Court that the inau was insane. Later in the day the same man walked into the Court-house with a carpot-bag suspended on his shoulder and took a seat beside the judge." Positions op tub Eastern Armies.? If those who take an interest in the "war in the East" will remember that there are two Russian armies and two Turkish armies in the fieid ; that the Russian army which is now preparing to cross the Danube is commanded by the Grand Duke Constantino; that the Turkish army which is defending the line of the Panubo is commanded by Abdul Kcrim; that tl\p scene of hostilities in Asia is more than a thousand miles dis taut from the scene of hostilities in Europe; lhat the Russian army which is threatening Kars and Erzcrourn is commanded by Grand Duke Michael; that the Turkish army which is defending these places is commanded by Muhktar Pasha, and that the news which comes from St. Petersburg is more reliable than that which comes from Constantinople, they will, by a careful reading of the press despatches from day to day, be able to keep the run of the campaign. ?Baltimore American. ?.?.
