CoNSTAXTKfOPtE, June 27. A sojourn
of two weeks at the Turkish capital, during
which time I was making some investiga
tions of a special nature, has put me in pos
session, throucb my intercourse with per
sons of prominence and position, ci certain
facts tending to show what manner of men
these Turks are, and as illustrating the true
condition of affairs in this far Eastern Em
pire. Shortly before leaving America, I
read in a leading daily what purported to
be a letter written Irom this city over the
full signature of the writer, stating that
Circassian girls were weekly sold openly an
slaves here. The writer went on to describe
with great minuteness all the details of the
traffic lie located the open slave market
In Scutari and, according to him, "Wednes
day was the market day.
"The letter interested me, ni It doubtless
did many other, and I determined to in
rettteate the matter on my forthcoming
visit here. This 1 did thoroughly lelng

days ago while on a pleasure excursion to
Qaratirl, Though it has not occurred yet,
the offenders In this euse fortunately will
most likely meet with summary punish
ment. INTEHNATIONAI, TnODJlLES MAY ItKSULT.
This outrage, taken in connection with
the arrearages of the war Indemnity now n
year or more overdue, and about which
ltuisla is clajiorinc, might bo construed as
B "casus belli." As further showing the
character of the Turkish soldier a number
ot them recently made a German soldier
drunk and maltreated him. The malter was
brought to the knowledge ol the German
Minister. He demanded the punishment
of the offender", but the Turkish Minister
of Justice showed such an unwillingness to
do anything in the matter aud desire to
shield Hie soldiers that finally he threatened
to publish the details oi the shocking affair
in every paper in Germany.
Last week the surprise in diplomatic cir
cles were the resignation of the Minister of
Justice, a chance in the Governorship ot
Constantinople, and Black Bey, formerly
Ambassador to Washington, and late
.Mayor oi I'era, was sent as Minister to
Itoumania, a step backward for the said
Bty. Those who ought to know, look upon
the grand change as the;final denouerneutof
the affair of the German sailor, yet the
sctnal offenders are unpunished.
One of the greatest needs of the American
colony here i that ot belter postal arrange-,
meiit-. The Government exercises a strict
censorship over the mails. Letters I am
informed, are frequently suppressed, and
some newpapers not allowed circulation in
the countrv at all and others are mutilated.
England, France, Russia, Austria and Ger
many each have their own postnffice and
postal service, receiving, distributing and
collecting the mail ot the residents and
officials of the respective countries, living
here for the reasons mentioned. It is true
the number of Americans here would hardly
justi y tbe establishment of a separate
American postoffice, but some arrangement
could easily, and should, by all means, be
made with some of the Governments which
have already established local offices, look
ing to the proper and decent accommoda
tion of Americans as regards their mail
service.

THE FACTS IV TUB CASK,
My Informant is a prote.sor in the Medical
Collage here. lie is a Byriau by blrtb, and
a mend of the mother ol the alleged victim
p, vuo """"B-. v"' ion oay oeiore
ray introduction he had reoelyed a letter
fce her imploring his aid in haying the J
guiltv persons punished. He was in Ereat
distress about the matter, a he could see
but poor prospect ol being able to do any
thing to help the mother. The faots briefly
recited are these: There lived in Damascus
a widow with a bright little boy 5 years of
age. She was a Syrian by birth, but had
embraced Christianity some years ago. In
the neighborhood lived a woman, who was
devoted to the religion referred to, who
manifested great love for the little boy,
coming almost daily to see him, bringing
him sweets, and often with the mother's per
mission taking him out for a walk. One
davrecentlv during the mother's absence the
little lellow disappeared. Search for him
by the widow and her friends proved un
availing. Davs passed and brought no
tidings of the lost boy.
It was ot course the sensation and mys
tery of the place. One day the employes of
a livery stable having noticed 'or some time
a stench arising from the cistern, decided to
clean it out. The result of tho cleaning was
the discovery of the body of the lost boy.
The proprietor of the stable was arrested.
He was dumfouuded. He could give no ex
planation o the presence of the body in the
cistern, but he recalled the fact that some
time previous a woman and two men had
called to see about hiring a conveyance, but
lelt without doing so. He now remembered
also that when they called the woman car
ried a bundle, but had none when leaving.
Sis Life Blood Had Seen Drawn.
As a result ot this information the woman
referred to and her two companions were in
time arrested and fully identified by the
liveryman. A post mortem examination re
vealed the fact that the boy had been bled
to death, two small incisions over the arter
ies at the wrists showing this conclusively.
Alter a time the prisoners were released for
want nt sufficient evidence to connect them
with the murder, and there the matter rests.
The Governor of the Province is of the re
ligious class interested, the present Grand
Vizier of Turkcv is of the snme extraction,
and it is the policy of the leaders always to
try to smother thee affilr lor fear ol the
judgment of Christian Europe. This may
explain the apparent apathy of the authori
ties in the present case. Oi course there Is
no positive cvidenco here that the bov
was killed for the purpose under dis
cussion, but the fact that the woman
and tho two wen, the only persons
so far known to be Implicated, are
ol this religious class aud as they could have
no motive of vengeance or (rain In Ills tak
ing off and the nmnnerof his death by bleed
ing, looks suspicious. In licr dire cilstros,
the poor widow lies appealed to the Turkish
doctors, and il will be Interesting to watch
wlmt proceedings, If any. are taken,
in imnnfclliiii with the subject, I rend
few days nun, In an American monthly

Newcastle, Knrlsnil, Chronicle. J
The Important o Inimical Influonet of
manures upon soils Is generally well under
stood, but a physical effect, wliloh Is equally
Important, is not so lully anproolaiori
namely, the Inlluenee of manure upon
the temperature of the jsoll. That
such an luflueneo Is exerted
has been demonstrated by a series of expert
menu In Jnpun. where the soil Is light nnd
porous, consisting of vnlcnnlo nsli mixed
with 7 or 8 per cent of humus. Boll thor
oughly uilxrd with manure In yarylngquan
titles was plscrd In four frames, while a
fifth frame Hits filled with foil unmixed
with manure. 'I
A thermometer sunk Ave Ino!t In cseh
bed was read eTt-ry Ore daysifor (We pe
riods, the result being that at the end of the
first five days the bed with? no manure
showed a temperature of OO.S5) that ma
nured at the rate of 80 Ions per Acre 05.1,
at 40 tons per acre 63.10, at 20 top" per acre
63.8, and at 10 tons per acre 02-. These
temperatures gradually becamelower, and
at the end of the fi tb period the
unmnnured plot showed a terapTature of
CO 8, tlir 80 ton ner ucre plot B2.6, 40 ton
fil.0, SO ton 60.1" and the 10 tor per acre
plot 49.8. The experiment shows con
clusively that provided all other conditions
are similar the quantity of heat developed
in the soil is in direct proportion to the
amount of manure applied. ,
It Is seen also that manured s(ls lose
heat more rapidly than unmanureld ones.
According to Proiessor Penballow vbe soil
at a depth of three Inches maintains"! tem
perature uniformly higher than thatf the
immediately overlying layers. The super

Tbe Event From Which the Agt at Blares
Were Reckoned Before Ihe War.
During the slavery days there was often
great difficulty in ascertaining the age of a
slave. The negroes themselves did not re
member the ages of their children nor their
own, so in the last 25 or 30 years of the
slave era it became a common prac
tice to take 1833, the year of
the great meteoric display, as a
starting point Every negro in the country
who was old enough remembered the thrill
ing scene, and their fright was terrible. It
fixed Itself on their minds as a most im
tiortnnt event and so constituted an epoch
known to all.
"How big a boy were vou when the stars
fell7" "What slued girl were you when the
star fell?" were olten heard and well under
stood questions. "I was old enough lo work
In the fields with the hands when the stars
fell)" or, "I was just old enough to remem

New York, July 12. It is always a
thankless task to undeceive people; its more
than thankless when the undeception af
fects beliefs and traditions that have
become respectable and even dignified with
old age. Yet this is what must be done re
specting our preconceived notions concern
ing high art in the United States, if we are
to believe two of our greatest experts whom
I encou..red at the Hoffman House last
evening.
"If there be any well-established legend,"
said one, "it is that New York City is the
art center of the Western continent, and
that all good pictures go to its many gal
leries. Nothing is further from the truth.
'While there are many excellent art collec
tions in the metropolis, there is but little
enthusiasm, and, oddest of all, there are
very few art collectors. At. the present time
there are two worthy of the name Cornelius
Yanderbilt and George L Seney. The
former keeps what he purchases, while the
latter periodically sends his treasure trove
to the auction room. He did this a few
years ago, and almost stripped tho walls of
his home. He has made up another collec
tion since that time, and proposes to ouctlon
It off in turn the coming autumn. Of his
farst accumulations tws.thlrds were eventu
ally secured by "Western buyers, nnd n
larger proportion ol the coming sale will
tiike the same path. Tliero are no art col
lectors In Ilottnu or lJhlliideliihla worth
mentioning. There Is none In Washington
since the death of W, W. Corcoran. In
Dullltnoto is it distinguished collector, Mr.
W. T. Walters, whose fame Is world-wide.

between ihe two) It Is seldom or never that

cugo, while on the other hind every sale In

W. Keene, who are a lew ol those who have
oomo lo the metropolis for good. Had all of
these remained in the West, the dispropor
tion would have still neen greater to the
disadvantage of Mew York. I suppose the
reason Is that tbe Umpire City Is so rlob
and satisfied with Its accumulation In tyerj
field that it has lost amnltlon and become a
slow and conservative community,

"Another popular delusion," said the
second expert, "is that the high art business
is conducted upon the same heightened,
elegant and conscientious lines as the dia
mond, jewelry and lace trades. It is
honeycombed with cheap-John methods and
can give poluts to the brightest members of
the bunko profession. The art collectors
and buiers of the country number a few
thousands and are more or less known to
the dealers, who keep an index of names
and addresses that is correct down to date.
Many of them have gauged their customers
so carefully as to know just what goods can
be sold to ibem. Upon this knowledge and
a large amount of humbug all the tricks
are based.
"An importer or dealer has a lot ot pict
ures which have fallen flat on the Mew
York market. He marks out a route along
which reside his prospective customers or
victims, summons his 'representative,'
'manager,' 'superintendent' or 'airent,' bat
never clerk or salesmen, and sends hyn off
with tbe invoice. The representative
reaches Pongbkeepsie, hires a hall or en
gages the parlor of a hotel. He scours the
town, huntine up some laudable charity.

iThis secured, he promptly advertises 'A

the hotel bill, the local newspaper or news
papers give gratuitous reading notices and
Ariticisms, and the oni or more ministers
eWvertise and praise it from the pulpit. Tn
tne meantime the home house has sent to
eyWy known buyer within 20 miles of
poVghkeepsie a highly diplomatic letter, in
which the prty addressed is delicately fLt

PITTSBURG DISPATCH,
selling of replicas for originals. While It Is
dishonorable, it i, Rtrange to say,
legal. Tho -practice comes from a
custom that has obtained in Europe
for. centuries. Nearly every prominent
artist there has a group of Btudents who
work with him in his own studio. When
ho completes a painting which promises to
be successful the pupils make copies in
whole or part of it, which be in turn corrects
aad perfects with his own brush. While
these replicas are naturally not so valuable
as the original, they always command ex
cellent prices and are classed as being ot
the artist's own handiwork. When people
have bought replicas and afterward gone to
law on the ground that they had been de
ceived, that the picture was not made by
the artist a advertised or represented, the
courts of highest resort have uniformly held
that a replica is a legitimate work of tbe
artist who made the original, and that un
less sold as the original, or so warranted to
be, the purchaser has no redress. Ol hun
dreds of foreign paintings brought across
the Atlantic a large number are replicas.
Importers and dealers ol high standing in
form .their customers of the fact, but they
are in a minority.
TVOBKIUO THEOTJOH CANADA.
The latest device in the art business in.
this country is the "Canadian racket" and
is nothing more than a shrewd system of
beating our tariff svstem. A dealer orders
an invoice of fi.'tv high-class paintings. If
they were landed in New York, Boston or
other American ports of entry, the duty
would be a very considerable sum and would
have to be paid on not only tbe pictures that
hit the popular funny, but also those that
proved unsalable. Besides this such an in
voice would be appraised by an expert offi
cial so as to prevent a fo'reign agent billing
what cost 100,000 francs in Paris at 53,500,
ns has been frequently attempted. The
dealer, therefore, has tho pictures shipped
to Canada where there is no tariffon works
of art and where rent and Incidental ex
penses are much lower than they are here.
The favorite place is Montreal, but Quebeo,
Ottawa, Toronto, Hamilton and Windsor
havo also been utilized In this regard.
Tho pictures are put on exhibition and a
neat catalogue prepared. The dealer then
sCuds by mail u copy of tho catiilogue and a
business letter to nil his regular customers
and to suoh art collectors ns he thinks may
purchase, It may seem queer that a man
will undertake a long Journey to buy n
palntlntr, hut suoh Is the met, A genuine
art collector or nn ctithuslastfo nrt buyer
will travel 1,000 miles to obtain a treasure
mid think nothing of It, It Is not long be
fore tho Invoice is quite sold nil'. Of the CO
the Cituadlaus will buy one and Ihe Ameri
cans 90. Of the remainder a half will then
he seut across the boundary to the United
Htates and another half will be shipped buck
to Kuiope as unsulled to the American mar
ket. The denier mves money at almost
every step nl the operntlon. The American
buyer saves money likewise.

London Tlmes.l
General d'Hautpoul, of whose death wa
are iniormed by our Paris correspoodent,
was once pitted against Count von Moltke,
and beat blm. General, then Captain
d'Hautpoul was then, in Louis
Philippe's time, tho head of Ibrahim
Pasha's staff. He was also aid-de-camp
to Boliman Pasha. Count yon
Moltke was the virtual commander of tbe
Turkish army at Nezib, as w.is General
d'Hautpoul, oi the Egyptian army, of
which Ibrahim was the nominal chiet. The
Turks were routed, owing to the skill and
foresight of Captain d'Hautpoul in occupy
ing as he did the positions dominating the
road to Aleppo.
The interventionof Europe alone saved
Constantinople fiom being entered by the
Egyptian army alter the defeat ot the Turks
at Nezib. General d'Hautpoul was sent by
General Trochu to Versailles in 1871 to ne
gotiate an armistice and met there his old
foe, Moltke, but relused to sign until in
formed about Bourbaki's army. General
Yalden then took his place and signed,
and Bourbaki, to avoid being captured,
was forced to retreat in baste to Switzerland.
General d'Hautpoul was tbe last of the
French military men who helped to build
Mehemet All's Egyptian army on a Euro
pean model.

DITIKES WHO PATEOSIZB THE PEESS
rwniTTzx FOB TUB DISPATCH. 1
There are some ministers who havo a poor
conception of the diversified and peculiar
functions of the daily press. They fail to
see why their sermc are not reported at
great length, and sometimes severely criti
cise the management for lack of enterprise
or failure to come up to the standard raised
in tbe mind of the critic. A glance at such
a great journal as The Dispatch ought to
open the eyes of the man oi average intelli
gence to the wonderful discrimination and
care necessarily called into action in prepar
ing intellectual food and current news for
the thousands upon thousands of people who
scan its pages. If all the readers were mem
bers of church, or even regular attendants,
probably criticism would be in place, but
when we remember that not oyer one-fifth
of the people have any intimate affiliation
with the church, criticism seems to be inap
propriate when severe.
A newspaper must be allowed to be in
some sense at least a commercial venture,
and meets with success, as a rule, in accord
ance to the sagacity and business acumen
with which it is conducted. It must touch
every phase of life if It fills its mission. If
a minister has distinguishing qualities that
entitle him to more than ordinary notice, or
if his productions from tbe rostrum are
above the ordinary, tho live nowepaper will
give him his meed oi publicity, but the In
dividual pupor must be thojudge of its own
policy, and ot tho fitness of things In gen
eral. A Duly lo ilia Maeera.
Very good people take up a morning
paper aud lu It find things which they think
would be better not published. The editors
are eomlemned and threats of "stopping the

i) It were not ludicrously absurd would be
positively amusing. While, the public de
mands an unloldlng nf the ereutsnf the day,
no matter what their character, the paper is
In duly bound to supply the demand. I
know people who carefully sonn the head
lines, and only read such things as are to
them digestive and assimilative. It Is the
exalted iirivllege or everybody to do the
same thing, A gre.it metropolitan paper

The uottspnper doesnotcompel Its readers
to peruse every column. A critical reading
ol Bliakespoure, or even the lllble Ittelf,
will reveal the faot Unit both picture
scenes and sentiments which aro lit vari
ance with strict morality and purlti'inlo
modesty. It contains an uoourato account
of the dnlngs of men belonging to past ages,
and surely somn of tho reoords
of their performances may not be
read with unalloyed commendation,
With what tender solicitude we watch the
lllble, and how sensitive we are ol orltlolsm
o' It pjge. and yet It would never do to
rend the whole book alnud in the publlo
sohools, While acknowledging that man
has no right to quosilou the propriety of
divine revelation or the methodol recording
saored history, does it nut seem Inconsistent
when we hear men ol Intelligence adversely
criticising the dally press for giving accu
rate reporte ol the events transpiring in the
age In which wo live? If It was right to
place on record the druukenness of Noah
and the homicide of Moses, how comes It
that it is wrong to herald forth the delin
quencies of like oharaoter when brought be
fore the publlo in the present day?
Two Great Alodera Forces.
It is true that a newspaper which colors
wrongdoing and makes it worse than it
really is transcends the limitations of dis
cretion, and yet to mince matters and polish
them so that grave offense may bo diluted to
that exteot that appears but folly is equally
wrong. Were it not for the publlo press
there wonld be no bound to tbe wickedness
that would prevail. Tbe pulpit is a great
power against sin, but the press is more
potential. Denunciation from the rostrum
Is a preventive to a great extent, but fear of
newspaper condemnation and publicity is
far more to be dreaded, xne man oi shady
reputation who quarrels with the press puts
his bead beneath the guillotine and para
lyzes all bis opportunities tor reinstatement
in tbe good opinion of his fellows. L.irga
corporations realize the power of the press,
and they will rather do anything than an
tagonize even tbe smallest weekly weasel it
it can be prevented.
The pulpit and the pressl What a combi
nation they might lorm if there was more
unanimity between them! There are clergy
men who tell us they care nothing for news
paper notoriety, and have no soficituoe as
to whether or no tbey or their work is no
ticed. Of course one does not like to ques
tion the veracity of a minister of the gospel,
but I am inclined to think that such men
labor under a misconception ol their innate
propensity. Did it ever strike the reader
that the pulpit and the press are and always
have been the two great vehicles of material
and intellectual progress? When rebellion
stalked through the land tbe loyiil pulpit
and the patriotlo press were the means of
mobilizing and enthusing a nation. Had
the Northern press beeu silent and the pul
pit dumb, where would have been this grrat
country to-day? Instead of 04,000,000
of people with one great putslnghenrt we
should have had ndlverslfied conglomeration
of nationalities productive of naught but
chaos and confusion, These two engines
are the mighty motive foroes which keep
the world In n prcgresilve state, nnd that
they should work In friendly unison Is some
thing very desirable.

Antagonism between the pulpit and the
preis Ii folly, Neither one can perform the
peculiar function of the ether, but tlmt they
should go hand in hend every thinker will
agree. As a general rule those pulpiteers

its supremacy. Tbe country parson keeps
on good terms with the village editor if he
has any sense. A local newspaper of lim
ited circulation can make or mar a man far
more than the unsophistocated suppose.
Dead silence in regard to tbe doings of a
man in any publio position is as blighting
asablizztd. Supposing it to be possible
for every newspaper in the land to solemnly
agree never again to mention the name of
James G. Blaine, it would kill him "a
dead aa a door nail." The same rule ap
plies to town and village life. When I
hear a preaober say he cares nothing for
newspaper popnlarity, I have to qnestion
either his veracity or bis good sense.
A Glorloun Minion (or Each.
The press and tbe pulpit make life com
paratively safe. While these two mighty
engines have full play, anarchy and com
munism in its worst form will never gain
much headway in this country. A daily
exchange of opinion through the press, and
a weekly unfolding of the gospel of Jesus
Christ, the former touching the material
and physical aide of man's nature, and the
latter the spiritual and eternal, are the
strongest salegqards against irrational
power and brute supremacy. A censorized
press is a clog upon the wheels of progress,
and a weak-kneed aud a tender-spined pul
pit is a rotten viaduct oyer which perishing
souls go down to perdition. Let each fill
its sphere with a direct positiveness. Both
press and pulpit have a glorious mission, and
very few men can comprehend the things
which belong to both unless they hare
bad a dual experience. It is not such a
long journey from the press to the pulpit if
the conditions aro favorable. More than
one bright theological light has commenced
his career on the press, and all will tell you
that it did them no harm.
There are points in each which the other
may not be able to fully understand, but so
long as both conscientiously perform their
duty in accordance with tbe light possessed
naught but good can ensue. The pulpit has
no better irjend than the press as a whole,
and It seems to me to be tne height of in
consistency to condemn all because one may
err. This applies to both press and pulpit.
Our work In lift will not bo long as Indi
viduals, but the spirit of it may live through

BAYED BY A COCKATOO.
It Attacks a Hnnke Which Was Abonl to
HirlUn Iia Bleeping Master.
1111 and Express.;
One Charles Durand,- of whose travels and
adventures a book has been written, owned
a cockatoo, which be carried about with him
on bis Journeys. The bird's name was Billy,
and be seems to have been as wise as he was
.loving. He came to his msster with a good
character, haying been tbe careful attendant
on a sick man, bringing blm bunches ot
giapes to quench bis thirst and refusing
himself to eat one till the sufferer bed set
the example.
Durand was asleep In his tent in those hot
latitudes, where strange wild beasts and
dangerous reptiles abound, when he was
aroused before hie usual time of waking by
a sharp, shrill cry of the bird of "Time lo
liseltime to rise 1" accompanied by a vio
lent'fiapping of the wings, and then a series
of sharp screams in the cockatoo's own
natural tone. So awakened, Charles looked
around wondering what bad disturbed his
feathered friend. The cause was soon plain
a deadly snake lay coiled up close to his
bed, which, as he gazed, reared itsel up and
prepared to spring on the defenseless man.
Just when he thought that all hope was at
an end the brave cockatoo sprang from bis
perch, seized the reptile by the neck, and
held him tight till his master could summon
help from without. The snake was then
killed and Billy was raised to a still higher
place in his master's esteem.

There is not one man or woman In ten

slept only three or tour hours a night make
very Interesting reading; but I tell you, my
readers, no man or woman ever yet kept
healthy in body and mind for a number of
years with less than seven hours'
sleep. Americans need more sleep than
they are getting. This laok makes them so

EFFECT OF THE DUTY OX TI5 PLATE
. rCOIlBXSFOXDEXCE OT THE EISFATCH.1
PABIS, July 4. The most wonderful
things in Europe were invented in America.
I refer to the telephone, audiphone, phono
graph, telegraph and sewing machine. Tbe
French are using both the audiphone and
phonograph for business and pleasure. On
the Eue des Italiens there is an alcove room
or niche fronting on tbe street in which are
a dosen public audiphones, each one .con
necting with a different theater, variety
show or cafe chantant. It was crowded
with listeners holding the audiphone
bandies to their ears.
"Who do you want to hear?" asked the
attendant as I entered.
"Give me tiara Bernhardt!"
"Here she is," he said, handing me the
handles for my ears. "Pnt a half franc (10
cents) in the slot and listen five minutes."
"When tbe time was up the attendant
pointed to anotber audiphone. and said,
"Yon can hear Coqnelin there, the Vaude
ville here, or the Grand Opera in the cor
ner. Pnt your money in the slot and
listen."
So I listened to plays, songs and opera in
elx theaters In Paris for half an hour at an
expense of GO cents. I afterward secured
the barrels of a phonograph on which were
recorded these songs nnd plays, and will
listen to them again In Now York.
OKEAT VOICES TltAT KKBD EMBAI.M1SO.
It Is unfortunate that the phonograph
should come too Inte to entoh the thunder
ing oratory of lforest and Webster, the
drollery of Durton, Josh llllllngs, Nnsby
Artemus Ward, and the eloquence of
(lough, Conkllng, Phillips and iieecher.
I hopa that Mr. iSdlson will see that the
voices of suoh living men as Dlsuinrok,
Gladstone, Denew and Illalne, may not be
forever lost. My own health Is pretty good,
end my lungs nil eound, but Nye nnd
Twiiln nnd Jlurdettv should have tholr

, Alter visiting the Government lee
factories In Ilrusaels, where thousands of
poor women were making useless lace by
hand, I called nt the rooms where they
were selling American sewing machines.
There were hundreds nf Winters, Domestics.
Howes mid Wilcox ft Glbbs machines all
made In America. As Ihe sewing machine
has been used by both parties to Illustrate

them.
"We sell good Amorlcan sewing

the price ol the best plain machine with a

THIS LIAR Of KUJIOPU.
I don't know which American tariff Hare
this fact will helu. Mr. Thomas II. Terrlll,
a sewing machine agent from Michigan,
brought over American maohlnee to sell,
and tells me that slnoe sewing machine
patents had expired lu Amerlon, they were
selling for less money there than here in
Europe. The tan ft llur Is all over Europe,
and Is as effective here as In Amerlon. tie
can scatter a crowd of Americans with ten
words on tbe tariff quicker than the Iiostun
musician can scatter them with a plituo re
oital, If he Is a high tariff man he i.rms
himself with a 13 suit of olothes from the
Bowery. Then he marches Into Pool's und
buys a ICO suit.
"Bee," he s.iyi, "how aheap in high-tariff
America, and bow dear in free-trade En

here with a (70 Filth avenue suit. Then
be goes down on Cheapslde and bays a 12
suit, and, lully equipped, he strikes an
American crowd with: "See this 13 free
trade English suit and look at that $70
high-tariff American suit"
The faot Is, the price of the suit Is gov
erned by tbe price of labor and locality in
both places. If it is a machine-made cheap
laboring man's coat, tbere is not 3 differ
ence in the price, whether made in New
York or England, but if It is a hand-sewed
coat of a dude, made of hand-combed wool,
it will cost $20 more In America.
JOHN Bt7I.Ii OETTINO ALARMED.
The English are beginning to be alarmed
at the Idea of so much British money ($400,
000,000) going to the United States for in
vestment in manufactories. When I asked
the cashier of the Consolidated Bank why
John Bull was so solicitous, he said: "It
not only indicates hard times here but that
there is a feeling of uncertainty in England.
Land has shrunk almost one-half in value
and our manufactories are being run at a
Ios, and beyond that there Is a political
uncertainty."
"In what way?" I asked.
"Well the Government is solid under the
Queen. The people respect her. The Prince
oi Wales is very popular, but beyond him
ail is uncertain. Albeft Victor is a weak
boy. We do not know what the people will
do with him. The Queen is ill and may die
at any moment, and the Prince of Wales is
apoplectic and may die before his mother.
Brazil and France threw away their kings
in a day. Why may not England do the
same? Wise Englishmen are apprehensive
of tbe future. In case of revolution tbey
don't want all their eggs in one basket.
America, having withstood the Rebellion of
1861, is considered tho strongest Govern
ment on the ertb."
"How about Germany7"
"It looks uncrrtaiu there too without
Bismarck, who united that nation. Itussia
is hovering over dynamite. Revolution in
London would be ugly. As Oulda says, It
would be a debauan of plunder and beer.
Paris gets drunk on the Marseillaise, bnt

"Bnt where will you get your tin In

"O, that will come. They are mining il

Canada has tin mines, but of course we
could not work their nines and make tin

reciprocity between the Dominion and the

"The great American idea," I said, "on
which all American statesmen agree, is to
have reciprocity in the New World from
Hudson's Bay to Cape Horn and a fair tariff
for revenue and some protection against
European paupers and kings. What do yoa
think of that?"
Mr. Hunter looked down and said with a
sign: "It maybe fun for the Yankee boys,
hut is death to the John Bull frogs."

An Example of a Peculiar Affliction That la
by No Sienna Hnre,
A strong, healthy man who looks like ha
is good for a ronnd century, was caught
puffing and blowing at the bead of a flight
or stairs in one of the big city buildings yes
terday, right up against an elevator. "I
can't do it," he said, seeing the reporter'
evident astonishment at the fact that he did
not take the elevator.
"I earn my money," he went on, "collect
ing bills, and spend many hours a day
climbing up and coming down stairs, but I
do it in preference to riding in an elevator.
If 1 breat my resolution my beart seems to
quit beating, and I find it very hard work
getting out when the elevator stops. I have
tried all the advertised remedies, such as
closing eyes, clenching the teeth firmly,
taking a long breath, suspending respira
