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."
No rest; for Khalifat,

A Legislative Directory.?Columbia,
Juno 2.?Mr. Videttc : In your descriptions
of souic of the members of the
House wo would be pleased if you would
state who is the youngest, next, etc.; the oldest
members; who ore bachelors, widowers.
&c. 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.
