Circleville, April 2. To the Editor of the Ohio State Journal: Io the election yesterkay for township and city officers the Republicans gained two Township trustees, two Councilman, two Assessors and the School Board nominee. The election was close and contested bravely by both sides for School Board; but two names seemed to be before the voters. The fight was between Col. 8, A. Moore, Eepublican, and Dr. Q, A, Widden, Demoorat and present incumbent. Col. Moore carried with 62 majority, For Township Trustees Aaa Anderson and Fred Body, Republicans, came out victorious with a small majority, making two Republican Trustees and one Democrat. H. W. Gregg, Republican, third on the liat for Trustees, fell behind from carelessness of some of his friends who in scratching simply wrote the name Gregg, leaving out bis proper initials. Enough votes were thrown out to beat him. For Council, Captain Charles E. Groce, of the Second ward, Republican, received 81 majority over hia opponent, Mr. William Doane, Demoorat. Charley took the old Second ward by storm. George May came in by a small majority Republican Councilman for our new ward, the Fifth. W. H. Sweyer, Eepublican, of the Fourth ward, carried with 19 majority, while C. W. Bookwalter of the Fifth ward, ran in on 7 majority. For Btreet Commissioner, Thomas Heirs, Dem., led off with 60 majority. Take the election throughout, Republicans feel very good over the result. The Third ward, which has polled a Republican majority in times past, went Democratic throughout, and the Second ward changed yesterday in her ballotB somewhat enough to see the Third ward one better and poll 81 votes for Capt. Groce. The representatives of the National Base Ball League met at Buffalo, New York, day before yesterday, and arranged the schedule of League Club championship games. The schedule, as reported, was somewhat amended, and as adopted, provides that the Chicago club open the Indianapolis grounds, and the Milwaukee club open the Cincinnati grounds, both May 1. The Cincinnati club opena the Milwaukee grounds, and the Indianapolis club opena the Chicago grounds May 14. A Washington special to the Cincin nati Commercial of yesterday says : A Republican member of Congress is authority for the statement that there ia proof that Jones, of Alabama, cast his vote for Dean, in the field-Dean contest for a seat in the House, for a valuablecon-aideration. How much money was paid for the vote is not disclosed. The same informant Bays the subject will be brought up in the House directly. BY TELEGRAPH TO TBS OHIO STATU JOVKSAl FOREIGN. 1 lie Circular of lord Salisbury to the Powers. The British Objection to the San Stefano Treaty. Russia Jelously Watching the Other Powers. Friendliness of Austria and France for England. The Drift of the News Still In the Olreotlon of War. England's Objection to the Sun SJIe lane Treaty. London. April 2. Followine is the sentence verbatim in Lord Salisbury's cir cular to the rowers, in which he objeots to tne treaty oi Ban tttefano as a whole : "the combined effect of the treaty, in addition to the results upon the Greek population and upon the balance of the maritime powers, which have already been pointed out, is to depress almost to a point of entire subjection the political independence of the Government of Con stantinople. The formal jurisdiction of that (iovernment extends over geographi cal positions which must under all circumstances be of deepest interest to Great Britain. It is in the power of the Ottoman Government to close or to open the straits, which form the natural highway of nations between the Aegean sea and Euxine. Its dominion is recognizsd at the head of the Persian gulf,on the shores of the Levant and in the immediate neighborhood of the Suez canal. It can not be otherwise than a matter of extreme Bolicitude to this country that the Government to which thia jurisdiction belongs Bhould be so closely pressed oy political outposts ot a greatly superior power, that its independent action and even existence is almost impossible. These reaullB arise not bo much from the language of any single article in the treaty as from the operation of the instrument as a whole. A discussion limited to the articles selected by one power in tue uongress would be an illusory remedy for the dangers to English interests and to the permanent peace of Europe, which would result irom the state of things which the treaty proposes to establish." Vienna advices present the Austrian objection, not leas fatal to the existence of the treaty than England . An Earl Mnrdereil. Dcblin, April 2 The Earl of Leitrim. bis clerk and driver, wero all shot dead thia morning while driving near his lord ship's lodge manor, Vaughn, county Der-ry.

Three or four men were seen loitering in the neighborhood before the murder. Second Dispatch. 1 London, April 2. The Earl of Leitrim was shot opposite the cottage from whieh he had recently evicted a widow. Eighty-nine of his tenants were under notice to quit. Lord Salisbury on tbe Nan tjtefnno Treat and tbe Interests: or Enrope. London, April 2. Lord Salisburv's reference in his circular to the interests of the Greeks and to the conditions and prospects of Turkey, are not calculated to make the Porte bold aloof from Russia. He says : The object of the Constantino ple conference wsb to preserve Turkey by reiorming ner. mis policy was prostrated by the unfortunate resistance of the Ottoman Government itself and under the altered circumatancea of the preaent time, the same result oannot be attained to the same extent and by the same means. Large changes may, and no doubt will be requisite in the treaties by which Southeastern Europe has hitherto been ruled, but good governmentia assured ; peace and freedom for the populations to whom these blessings have been a stranger, are still objects which England earnestly desires to secure. Austria Bequlrea Cortalu Altera tions In I be Peace Preliminaries. London. April 2. The semi-official Eastern Budget prints the following Bpecial from Vienna : General Ignatieff was informed by this Government that it requires certain alterations to be made in the peace preliminaries, and such alterations must be made, with the concurrence of the other Powers.

The massacre of Wyoming is one of the most striking of the minor events of the war of the Revolution. The surprise and destruction of the peaceful settlement by the Indians and Tones, with the accom panying massacre, affected the national indignation strongly, and it was the only instance where the savage allies of the British accomplished anything on a large scale, and where the horrors of Indian warfare were conspicuous. It was justly considered the foulest blot upon British arms during the whole war, and was used aa a very formidable indictment against the conduct of England, in justification of the Revolution, its lame was not con fined to this country alone. It was made tho scene of a rococo poem by Campbell, and frequent references to it are to be found in the English as well as American literature of the time. The massacre of Wyoming was as famous as that of Glencoe, and if its memory ia fading in comparison with that, it Is because the American mind is not so tenac ious, so national and so "dour" as the Scotch. In the order of the events of the Revolution, which are now being fresh ened in our memory by celebrations of centennial anniversaries, tbe time is ap proaching for tbo commemoration of the massacre of Wyoming, which occurred on the third of July, 1778. Preparations have been made for a fitting observance In the Dictureeane valley, and the time will be very appropriate for the descendants of many famities in xtnoue isiana or uon-necticut.who had friends or relatives there, or rights in the Susquehannah or Delaware companies, aa well as those who feel iir. : .. . , ,n :;, i,a a nisr.iv uiifiuriu ium,icu, .v ud scene. Dyed Hair and Painted Skin The subject of toilet articles, about which we had occasion a short time ago to say something, is still agitating the f.agUsh mind; ana a writer in tne ion-temporarv Review returns to it this month with the vigor of a periodio fit one of those moral tits wnicn macauiay usea to say take possession every now and then of the British publio. Dyed ana iaise nair and painted skin are the principal objeots of tbe essayist's wrath, ana mey are pronounced to be Jizebel contrivances. His condemnation of artificial hair extends to coils, chignons, plaits and curls, all of which, when added to a woman's naturat cranial possessions, be regards as aeiio-erate falsifications and deceptions. The devices used by a woman for hid ing gray hairs and a faded complexion are, in hia opinion, notoriously for the pur pose of making people suppose that she is younger than she really is that "she ia onlr twenty when she is fifty," and con sequently, her whole life becomes pitched in a false key, so that she is forced to adopt the carriage, demeanor and opinions of a young person, and lives a life that is one large, consistent lie. "jf course sne nev er succeeds, and the whole thing isa-ithet-ically a failure a particularly frightful ghastly kind of failure. The black: or golden hair and brilliant complexion jar miserably with the faded eyes, and all the indescribable changes of lines and contour which distinguish oge from youth. Bat these physical disharmonies are nothing to the moral disoord which takes place between the inward character ana tne outward appearance." A graver aspect of the subject, how ever, is the injury often done to health by the use of paints, enamels and dyes, and the follv of many elderly women whose gray hair is always beautiful, and whose faces are never so adorned as when left unadorned, It is as natural for a woman to prink for her admirer aa it is for some birds at their mating-time to increase the splendor of their plumage, but the laws of chemistry and physiology ought to be obeved. and self beautifying ba confined strictly within the domain ol taste. How to Win 111 ill. "Eliza." said a fond mother to her off spring recently, as that offspring was about going forth in tow of a young man who worships the very sidewalk Bbe waixa upon, "go to the bread box and eat a good big crust of bread before you go out." "Why, maw," replied the blushing girl, "I don't feel tbe least bit hungry. W have only just had tea." "I know it, but you will be hungry bofore you get back; and when Adolpuua takes you into a reataurant you'll eat ice cream and sponge cake, and ham sandwiches and oysters enough to scare him out of a year's growth. You silly girls don't think of this, but we experienced women do. I was once young and giddy myself, and but for sixtyfivo cents' worth of macca-roons a cake for which I have ever since entertained the most profound contempt your paw could have been a Congressman, with an aquiline noso and Hyperion's curia. Beware how you sit down on the budding flame of Cupid. Of course Adolphus will spend the money you save on billiards and things; but that makes no difference. When he aaksyou to go in and have some oysters, even if you are hungry, don't. Say you do not approve of girls wasting the money of their future husbands on trifles, when it might be applied toward furnishing a house. Point out that for the price of an oyster stew you might purchase a couple of towels, now that toweling ib bo cheap, and that a saddle-rock roast is the equivalent of a silver fork plated, of course, but not eaBiiy distinguished from solid silveror a glass sugar bowl. This always takes the young men ; it sets them to thinking of housekeeping and matrimony; it makes them believe you are the incarnation of economy, and would make an excellent wife; and so they often say things which give you a hold ovir them, and are an effective before a jury." JMiza treasured up these sagacious counsels, and acted upon tnem wnn sucn earnestness and effect that when Bhe came home she was an engaged woman. Poor Americans In Paris. A private letter from a Clevelander in Paris aaya : "Possibly from the fact that Paris is the greatest and the nearest continental city, its life so different from what we find in England or America, and its language so fascinating and popular, Americans are attracted hither in large numbers. I cannot but feel chagrined sometimes when I meet Americans who come over here and rush right through the far-famed British isles, where their own language is spoken, scarcely stopping at London, the moat wonderful city in the world, and making a prolonged atay in Paris or on the continent elsewhere, and who return home only enabled to give a vague idea of the English-speaking countries of Europe from a Parisian or continental standpoint. Among the many things that have surprised me in these foreign lands is to find how many poor Americans there are in Paris. I never dreamed that this vast city contained to many of my distressed fellow-countrymen, There is a society organized in the American colony for the express purpose ot aiding these unfortunate people. At the Thanksgiving service in the American chapel, Paris, a liberal collection was taken up lor this organization in response to the earnest ap- ?eals of Rev. Dr. Hitchcock, tho pastor, was told by General Noyes, on whom I had the pleasure of calling, thOjt he had given out of his own pocket, inside of two months, 1200 francs ($240) to poor Americans who applied to him for assistance. He told me also that some of the cases were heart-rending wife desertion, chil dren left to themselves, men out of em ployment, eto., etc., and tbe stones told so pitiful that he could not turu them away without rendering them aid. Not Such Very Hard Times. Dramatic News.l One Brown paid $000 cash for the privilege of speculation in tickets at the door of Booth's Theater for the three weeks of opera, He is allowed one hundred tickets a night, on which be is supposed to make a profit of $1 each. The profit on the first Mignon night waa much larger, $5, $6 and $7 being paid for single tickets, the net prioe of which was $2. In one instance we saw $40 offered for four seats, . Yet these are hard times. A sixtken-teas-old boy named William Marshall picked up an old shell on the Antietam battle ground last week and took it home. The next morning' he set tire to the end of a stick and thrust it into the missile, when it exploded with great force, destroying one eye and a hand, A greater man than Danial Lambert has appeared in England, Ha keeps a publio bouse at Newoaatle-on-Tyne, is 21 years old, stands six feet four inches high, weighs 730 pounds, and measures eight feet around tho shoulders, seven around the waiBt and threo around the oalf of his leg.
