The Treaty of Berlin. The great dissatisfaction, which arose among the European powers about the Treaty of San Stria no entered into by liussiu and Turkey, necessitated the meeting of those powers at Berlin to revise and adjust such points as were calculated to dis tuih the harmony of ICu rope. That, t oiijjitss has adjourned and its re sults are a complete up-sotting of the terms of the first treaty. Indeed the vast amount of money and blood spent by Ktissia and Turkey have all been in vain, so far as those two powers are concerned; England an t Austria have managed the affair to suit themselves and of course the lion's share of the spoil goes to them. The following are the terms of the treaty : Russia gets the repossession of her old province of Bessarabia, a narrow strip of Armenia, the commercial usj of Batonm on tho Black sea, together with a humiliation among the powers of Europe a proud people will not long brook. Turkey loses her possessions in Europe and therefore her power. England gains Cyprus and the protectorate of Asiatic Turkey, which give her the complete control of Asia as well as the whole of Wester n and Southern Europe. Austria gains the military occupa tion of Bosnia and llorzegorvinia, which .-imply means tho ultimate incorporation of these provinces will? the Austrian lOmpiro.

'J licso are the main point.; of the treaty ol Borliu un.l ifc>ursoWill change the map oi South ICastern Europe inn<erinlly. There is no doubt that Ilussia, so soon as sho recovers from the effects of her rocisit war, with Turkey, will make a ouii* rcl with England and engage llio w Lulu of Europe in a most, dis Hlorou , war a pr -text for which may at. any time lie found in the terms of the Berlin treaty.

J Et Ii or ' rttnt/ftmrj/ Tint's : 1 hope you will give nie a littl ? more sjiace to say only a few wor Is in reply to an article written by "Critic," which f se-j couched in the Okanoeiumuj Timks, dated July the Oth 1878. In giving my sentiments June the 2Dth 1S7.S, I thought it would prick the conscience of some, and arouse them to criticism. '?Cri tic1' seems to think the article, I had published, is any thing but con sistent; thai my programme bears on its lace the feature of proscription, and that 1 would have a class ignor ed, who are a portion of tho body politic I differ much with the gentleman, and so will any reason able man. It is consistent, and if the writer would impartially decide, he would readily acquiesce with inoj and would see on the face of my pro gramme nothing but the jewel of It is true I did say, if a certain class got in power they would do more injury to the g >vorn men t than the Scalhuvug, Carpet-bagger, or It-id i cal has ever done. I say so still, but do not wish loignoreatiyb.lt those who merit it, and I truly hope none of that class will be elected to fill any olliee of honor, or trust. I did not mean to have any voter disfranchised cither .Democrat, or ? opuMican ; neither do I wish to deprive any citizen of their equal rights under tho law, but desire that our government be managed and controlled by hon est, well-thinking men ?men, who are not easily biased, nor manacled in principle. Is there any incon sistency in this? no. "Critic" may be an aspirant for oilice, if so, I think he has satisfied the people by his use of latin, that he has ability. We would like to Know il lift is one of the charac ters alluded to in our article that we might be on our guard ? We would probably have bad no surmising leid he not come out in such a burlesqu ing manner about the many candi dates proposed, and seemed to be so very jubilant, iitt<ii!iLr words of triumph in anticipation of their de feat, lie scorns to have a thorough knowledge of theology. I wonder if there is no room lor improvement, he may be one of the would-be aristo cracy (?) if so, he is hot to be dread ed, because his arm is loo short, yet we believe be has ability, and hope be is honest. Let I s A i t. Trrv 1<> Be Honest. An Incident. yesterday morning a Confederate battle Hag was found flouting from the top of the large derrick at the monument. ?Some one had climbed up the ropes in the darkness of the night und fixed it at its perilous height, and there, Hashing in the morning sun, was I be starry cross that li Iteen years ago was the emblem of a nation's hopes. Man)'a heart leaped at tho sight, and many an oyo grew dim as memory rushed back through the intervening years to the comrades whose ringing laugh and joyous shout had brightened the camp uud whose lorms were foremost in the field, who now sleep buncatli die shadows of the pines Crom llto Potomac to tho Hio Grande, from the mountains to tho sea. 1 Tor tli" living are brave and nohle, The dead vere braves! of all." It had nothing of political signifi cance, it was rather as though one had come suddenly face to faec with tlie portrait of ti long dead and dearly beloved friend, ami tho yearning of lite heart was? ,4Oh ! for thetouch of a vanished h and, And the Bound of a voice that i '." About ton o'clock thij morning some of our citizens thought thai I lie ] ac t of an individual might be torttir cd into tin act of political imp oil. and it was decided that it should he removed, and one of tho workmen elihicd up and broughl it down.?

It's a good time now for a recess and a frolic, and so for our amusement tho poli tical campaign has opened the ball in the 7th Congressional District. 1 he isshu is made up?the skirtnishin' has begun, the sharpshooters havo. been put in position, and before long you will bear the sound of heavy crtillery revorberatin' all overfbe.se classic mountains. I sec yon have gotten up a side .show hi Atlanta about who organized tbe> ^u'oeratio ^pni ty iu Goorgia in 1-SG7. Well, reckon somebody did ' it, and now tin isshu in our District is whether that organization is or is not worth preserving: Radicals and Independents arc on one side and Lbc organized Democracy on the other. This is the substantial question. There is nothing else in it that I can see?no charge of fraud or trick, no bribery, no corruption. The gaunt let has been fairly thrown down, tho wager of battle made. Roth sides are honest and earnest, and have put out their boldest champions. They are men whom the people have do lighted to honor. They aro both of the same religious family,and havo served their country faithfully iu war and in peace Above all, both of them are gentlemen, and tho light will be made i.i an open field iu tho light of day, while the eyes of mill ions, a- Jim Brown says, will he look in oiii The isshu is a tremenjous one, and I feel li kc getting upon a mountain and oxclaimin, ".Sohlieis, 40 CHiluries are lookiu down upon you from tho bights of these pyra mids." 1 tell you, Mr. Editur, it? goin to be a Waterloo in this district; sonn body is going to be beat, but who i*. i- I'll bo blamed if I know.

Von ir, the doctor has got the inside track, because he's always in, and has dorn, a thousand little things that make- a man friends and keeps cm; ami the doctor is a preacher and has the gift of tongue, as St. Paul says, which is a good thing for a preacher to have.

' Touch it and see.,' remarked a fou rt h. 'Ye-, its a man?see it move?" queried the iirst. All hands laughed boislorously. 'I'm a poor man, ami I don't want to have any trouble with anybody.

I pray you, worldly minded people, that you let ni3 tie part in peace,' wiid the new arrival One of the crowd, more ? hiring than tlic rest, hammered the man's hat down over bis eyes, and another dabbed hi- nose full of molasses from a barrel standing by. Then the poor Christian took a small volume i'rbm his pocket, and began reading the. Scriptures in a diuwling sing-song tune. While be was engaged in this the crowd played all sorts of tricks on hi:;;. One put some eggs in his pocket ntul another mashed them. Then the biggest man in the house poured some oil on his hat and light ed it. Then the clerk hit him under the lmsc with a c idlish. Then that man quietly piu tho lit tle book in iiis coal tail pocket, and the clerk went head firs;, into the mo lasses barrel. Whon tho biggest man in the bouse picked himself up from under the counter, il was next to an iin] ossibility to guess where his nose left oll' und where the codfish began. No. 1 made work for the glazor as he bit a ventilator in the window. No. 2 hatched out half a barrel of eggs, mid No. o got up on the pie shelf and stayed there. As No. 1 walked out of the door on bis back he wondered how much it would cost to make as good as new, and the root Christian man ro.narkcd : 'The next time you folks pick mo up for a slouch look out you ain't in the wrong pew. Good day, fellers.' The clerk is waiting for them to come round and settle for damages done, hut they must have forgotten where the place is as they pass right by without looking in, and their bills all remain unpaid. Young Men Beware. The following admonition should bo read i>* many young men and a few old ones: Never use a lady's name in an improper place, at any improper time, or in mixed company* Never make assertions about her that you think to be untrue, or allusions, that slie herself would blush to hear. When you meet with men who do not scruple to use a woman's name in a reckless manner, shun them; they are the very vorst members of the com munity; rnen lo t to every sense of honor, '.'very feeling of humanity* Many fl. good and worthy woman's character has been forever ruined and her heart broken b . a lie manufac ture 1 by some villain, and repeated when :t should not have been, und in presence of those whose little judg j ment could not deter them from cir culating the foul and bragging report. A slander is soon preguated, aud the smallest' thing, derogatory to a wo man's character, will i\y on the wing3 of the wind, and will grow aud tn.igui fy as it circulates, until its monstrous weight crushes the poor uncoacioUS victim. Res poet the natna of a wo man. Your mother aud sisters are women, and as you would have their fair names untarnished and their lives unembiticred by tho slanderous, bitter tongue, heed the ill your ojfn jgwords may bring upon the mother, Hg"-sister or the wife ?l sorao fell.owj Creature. - i mm , <?i i A Girl's Enconntor With a Rattle Snake From the Platte City Landmark. A few days since, Miss Mary Flesh man, daughter of Perry Fleshman, living two miles east of Platte City, had a thrilling adventure with a rat tlesnake. She was riding on horse back alone through the woods, when she dropped her glove. She dis mounted to secure it, and as she was stooping to pick it up she discovered a large rattlesnake, at least six feet long, coiled and in the act of striking. It did strike, but it failed to reach her, and fell at 'tier feet. She sprang back with a cry of horror, but almost instantly the snake recoiled and sit tick again. This time the veno mous fangs struck in the front part of her bonnet, and the hold teariug out with the force of the blow and the weight, of the snake, ii fell on the ground at her feet. Instantly it rear ed up in front of hor, its venomous breath right in her face. Scarcely knowing what she did, ohe seized the^ suako j jst below the head with both bauds, and, holding it for a moment, with desperate energy she slung it from her and fled. An exchange, speaking of those smart fellows who always know how t ? do something except what they ought to be doing, says : "He stands in the saloons with his back to the stove and tells how he could run a newspaper; how li9 could bo as inde pendent as a hog on ice, and call things by their right names; how he could ex peso corruption in high places; how he could write good), sound common soti.se, and noneof your frivolous try-to bo.funuy stuff. Then he criticises ;othor people's methods of conducting newspapers, aud just wishes somebody would give him a chance t) show his journalistic ability. The way to cure one of t hose chaps is to get him to write a sensible article every day for a week. Before the week is out he is sure to> be pumped dry, and will gape worse for an idea than a chicken does for the pip " Song of tho grassrtopper: " \Ve will meet in this weatby and by."
