The Turks who are on exhibition at the World's Pnir do not hsve « surfeit of the luxurious esse of which their Nation is proverbially fond. They nre employed most of the time in carrying people nliont in pnlanqnitis, mid some times the burden proves oherons. One who with 112» companion wns thus trans porting a corpulent woman wns heard to murmur: "Af cursed am I, snd I kick my bones for the day that I first heard of Columbus." Thomns A. FdiSoh, the Inventor, says that no person can be brought In close connection with the mysteries of nn ture, or rnnke n study of chemistry or of the law of growth without, being convinced that behind it nil there is n Supreme Intelligence. He says thnt he hopes to bo able some time to dem onstrate the existence of such Intelli gence through the operation of these mysterious Inws with thecerfninty of a demonstration in mathematics. A l/owell (Moss.) man gave a sur geon now practicing in Great, Falls, N. H., a deed some years ago, dispos ing of his body for anatomical pur poses, nt his death, for $lO in hand. He hns since been in South America, has made n great deal of money, nnd is now anxious to have a decent funeral and interment when bodies, but coun sel whom he hns consulted, advises him that the deed holds good unless he buys it from the holder. This he has ♦ rted to do, but the doctor has refused *,— ■ . nchces in England unit Wales affording a less income to the incumbents than #IOOO a year. There is great complaint at the poverty of the clergy, It is almost as grievous today as in Sydney Smith's time, and the New Orleans Pienvnne suggests thnt the witty and sarcastic jibes of thnt reverend satirist on the policy that permits such conditions might be reproduced. If FjOgland is to have sn established church she should not give princely incomes to bishops and leave the humbler clergy to abject poverty and misery.

Her mother [r Imd died on the voyage, and her brother, Hans Her jiJy VgffiSg. kel, wlio had come to New Orleans *'rPnWnllllwli fhree yearn Lefore, *i ' to make a home for fhein, hftd gone, no one knew where. The woman with whom he had board ed, and whose address Christina had, knew nothing of his whereabouts. "Ach, Gott!" Fran Werlein ex claimed. "But Hans said you would come not for two year." "No," Christina answered, trying to choke down her sobs. "Hut the m< tiier wanted to see him, ob, so ranch, awl she got weaker and sicker all the time. Then the mother says, 'I must see my boy before 1 die,' and the good neigh ! bftrs, oh, they feel so sorry. They sell our things for us, and they give much money to pay our way here. And the mother is at the bottom of the sea, and Hans is gone, and I am alone." The poor girl burst into a passion of tears, while Fran Werlein sat much troubled in mind, between sympathy for her conn try woman's grief and pru den Hal considerations. Rhc was not an ntikind woman, but a long struggle with poverty had blunted all delicacy of feeling, and in trouble or not, she 1 could not afford an unprofitable lodger. Rhe had found out that Christina was penniless and friendless, and she must be made to understand that she, Fran Werlein, could not give her a home ■ without some equivalent. "Rut then, what will yon <1o?" she j cried. "I am poor, and I can keep ►oil not without the money. Hans will eornc not back, perhaps, and how will you live?" Christina took her hands from her eves and looked up. Rhe had been too ranch stunned by grief and disappoint | ment to have given a thought to her own situation. Hut she was practical and sensible, and it did not take her a minnte to meet the emergency. "I can cook, I ean wash, I can nurse children, I can embroider, and I make fine Iscc Ach ! I can do many things, ■ snd in Ihis great city there must be plenty of work. Ami then when Hans comes back." "Ah, ves, yes," Fran Werlein said, much relieved. "If you can do all those things yon will not starve.

H gave mo rather nn uneasy feeling, for the inlnttd WIIH tvidently of recent formation, and who eould say but what It might tie submerged again during Home storm. But Paul laughed fit my fears. "For fifty years Tirtftt Inland has held Its own against wind and waves," he fluid. "It Isn't- likely you're going to play tho #ouah and sink It." AH for Christina, Hhe looked at the strange country with dread and nur priHe. "Aeh (lott," Hhe erled, "hnt It 1r de wanner all round, and do erf no higher as dat. Whoti de wares come, what to do?" "They hare never come over asyet.," 112 nnswerod. She nhook her head, hnt day after day alio took her way to the beach. The scene neemed to hare a faHeination for her, hnt the fascination (if terror, for elm wan nlwayn measur ing the height of the tide on the snnd. It became a common thing to hear her daily report. "l)e wasscr come two flngern more high dan yen'day," or "l)e wanner g<i down HO far." "That girl lias water on the hrain," Paul said, impatiently. "If n mighty 'lagre' shonld conic and sweep ns Into the gulf she wouldn't he a hit sur prised." Meantime life went on as it usually doeH at those seaside renorts, hnt pleas nnt an It all was I was not Horry when the 15th of September, the time de elded upon for otir return to the city, arrived. Paul had come for UH, but the FLF teenth wan ushered in by micli a ntorin of wind and rnin that the daily steamer did not arrive. The mainland was not at n great distance, hnt in a storm the sea between it and the Inland was ex tremely rough. Toward noon the gale increased. I noticed that Paul became restlenn, I hurrying out to the beach and exantin ing Uric or two little llnhing Hkiffw j moored there. One of them lie drew ! up and fastened near our cottnge, nay ing: "I Huppone there in not a bit of dan ' ger, but it's well to be prepared, you know.l think," trying to speak In differently, "1 might an well knock to gether those old shutters lying in the vnrd; make a kind of raft Not that there's the lenst danger, but- It's rain ; ing and storming so that I want some- 1 thing to pfins away the time." I watched him with a sinking heart. Rut Christina wan alert in assisting, nod, in fnct, did more than half the ; on the raft. Hhe seemed sudden ly to have lost all fear in the presence of real dsnger and looked brighter than I had ever seen her. Night came hlaek snd starless, hnt when supper time Hrrived, Paul In- . sisted upon my going to the dining room. We were In a small cottage, iibout two hundred yardafrom the main building, Hot the wind was HO high, it wn« with difficulty 1 traversed the short j distance. You can imnglnethat I had little ap petite for supper that night. I heard rniiHic in the ball room, where the voung people were dancing, as they did every night, but my one object wan to get back to my baby, whom I bad left with Christina. The two elder children were with nn. Suddenly the utmost fnry of the "tnriii burnt npoti the island, an we resetted the door '■Mv (tod," cried Paul, "the wind has gone round to the north! field onto rue, Helen Take one of the children; I have Mary.'

"Aeh, but when de wasser come t put lintiy on de raft, and I hold it tight, tight nil de time, and de wind blow as never was, and de waves come, but I hold it tight, tight." A man with staring eyes enme rush ing up to Christina as she spoke. "Christina! Christina!" he cried. "Meln bruddet!" she screamed, and then there wan a scene I have no space to relate, 112 had found my bnbv, and Christina had found Hans, who wns employed as second engineer on the steamer. Paul's gratitude to Christina took n substantial form, In the shape of a neat little cottage just, outof the city, where she has made a pretty liotne for Hans, who, through his new friends, secured a position in a manufacturing estnb lishment. We often see each other, for the "henvenly sweet baby," whose life she saved, is the darling of Chris tina's heart.

Close upon the announcement thnt Oreat Rritain has lately practically recognised the Chinese claim to sov ereignty in the Pamir country, in Central Asia, comes the news that Rus sia has already established a garrison i in the disputed territory, and that she is preparing to move n large number of | troops into the region during the com ' ing summer. The Pamir strife is generally recog nized ns being without the Russian sphere of action in Asia, and it is com monly accepted as certain that neither China nor the Government of Oreat Rritain can assent to the occupation of the territory by Russian troops. Threatened raids into the country have i already been the subject of urgent ! protests on the part, of Oreat Rritain, nnd once already this same subject has tieen the cause of seriously strained re lations between the two countries. Theclaimof the Chinese Government to sovereignty iu the disputed territory would seem to point to trouble between 1 China and Russia should the report ! of the Russian occupation tie confirmed, and as Oreat fi, tain h»« practically assented to the Chinese claim, and has j herself already protested against the j advance of Russia into the Pamirs, any I trouble that may grow out of the affair | is sure to involve that power, j The news from Central Asia will, ; therefore, be watched with interest, ; the more particularly as there is a deep-seated conviction that the next, war is likely to arise from Russian ag gression in that part of the world,— , New Orleans Picayune.

CHEROKBK INDIANS OAMVtTLLT OUARD ITS SBORBT. Only One White Man Ever Bavr It, an<l He Paid fbr the Sight With Ills fdfe. IT appears from a dispatch which was sent out from Wichita the other day that there is to be another attempt to locate what are sometimes characterized ns the fabled gold mines of the Indian Terri tory. Many people have faith in the existence of these mines, while many more smile when the subject is broached, and are inclined to think that they have no existence outside of the fertile imaginations of the space writers. But I belong to the first mentioned class, and feel that, I have the best reasons for my belief, says a Pueblo (Col.) correspondent of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Many years ago a white mah, whose name has been long ago forgotten, an adventurer with more dnring than pru dence, stumbled npon the mine, when there was not n white settlement within hundreds of miles. He was not a miner, but had found the quart*, filled with native gold, cropping out of the ground in a most unexpected location, and although he was entirely alone and without facilities for mining, as it is usually eondueted, had taken out and separated from the quartz within the course of a few days more of the precious metal than he eould carry. Realizing that he had made a dis covery that would give him wealth be yond the wildest dreatns of avarice, he determined to retrace his steps to a settlement, organize a small party and return, fully equipped for working the lead and taking awav the gold. He filled his pockets and his hunting pouch with the virgin metal and started for civilisation, first carefully noting the landmarks, that he might have no trouble in guiding his party to the spot upon his return. He bad got some twenty miles away from the locality when he was dis covered by a party of Indians, some ten or fifteen in number. They took him in charge and conducted him i»to the presence of one of their principal chiefs, to whom he told the story of his discovery. The old chief listened patiently, and, realizing thnt this was an important matte r, called certain of the sub-chiefs Into conncil. He made the first speech to them, and called their attention to what had first oc curred to him—-that if the gold hunter were allowed to return to the haunts of white men with his precious burden 1 their country trowed lately be I overrnn with miners, their hunting j spoiled and their tribe eventually ! forced to vacate their accustomed range. 'flic Indians were at that lime pence able, and were extremely averse to taking an action which wonld precipi tate trouble with the whites, who wcro , just commencing to plant feeble settle ; ments in the lower Kansas counties, | just north of the Osage and Cherokee I Nations. Yet it was a serions matter, j for it seemed almost impossible to i allow the white man to return to ; civilisation and spread the news of his i wonderful find, of which every one else, even the Indians themselves, had been in utter ignorance up to that I time. It meant all manner of evil for j the w>d men. atid the matter wns care fully discussed pro and con by the heads of the tribe, the conncil lasting ' fsr into the night. The decision wan j e* last arrived nt that it was better that one life should tie taken than that the peace of the whole tribe tie 1 destroyed. And so, for nontf other | than prudential reasons, the council , passed the sentence of death upon the i hapless discoverer of the mine. The 1 result of the deliberation was, how ! ever, kept from him nt first, and he was iitdnecd to guide n small party to 1 the locality of his find. Three of the leading chiefs of the tribe were of the party, and under their direction all traces of the lead wcr tovered Up, lest some othi r white men .raying thron »h tie* country iu search it pelts might re discover it Then the nnfortuuate i white man was executed on the spot not by torture, however, bnt in the most merciful manner and the party, being for from home struck camp for ' the night far in the night, when all the others were asleep, the three chiefs arose, having secretly determined upop the course before leaving the council, and with their keen Minting knives treaehf.italy took (hi lives of their , brothers, also.
