MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.

——A man released from jail in Win—
chester, Ind, a few days ago, after
serving a long term, went straight to
the railroad station to take a. train for
his home, and in attempting to board
it fell under the wheels and was killed.

——Lee, Mass, prides itself considera—

Capt. Norton is 99 years old, Mrs. Har-
riet Hinckley is 94 and Mrs. Baker is
93. Octogenarians are too young to be
taken seriously there.

—Something of new record was estab-
lished by thieves in Adams county,
’Wash” recently. They stole a big barn
belonging to the. county auditor, pull-
ing it down during the night, loading
it on wagons and hauling it to parts
unknown.

—-A number of converts walked over
the shore ice, scrunched through the
thin edge and waded out into the icy
sea at Orr’s island, Me., to be baptized
a. few days ago. Even in the middle of
summer the sea. in that region is so cold
that few people bathe in it.

——A horse which Gen. John Morgan
rode in his famous raid in 1862 died
near ”Versailles, Ky., a few days ago.
Morgan rode’the horse into Versailles
and left it there, taking inits place afine
mare. The horse was, when it- died,
more than 37 years old.

~——J. M. Stanley, his wife and young
son killed four bears on their ranch
near Ukiah, Ca1., one morning recent-
ly. The largest of the bears weighed

much risk as fun in the hunt and fight
that preceded the slaughter of the
quartette. The big game is help g driven

——Thirty years ago J. B. Garrison, of

small sliver of steel into his right hand
at the base of the thumb. The wound

 

was treated and finally healed, the doc-
tor saying that the steel had been ex-
pelled. But ever since that time Gar-
rison has suffered with severe pains
in his right arm, which he attributed

pains became more acute in his right
shoulder. He went to a doctor, and the
doctor drew from just under the skin
of his shoulder the steel‘sliver that en-
tered his hand in 1865.

A HORSE’S PRESENCE OF MIND.

Be Saved His Own Life and That of His
Driver in Broadway.

The remarkable presence of mind
that a. horse can display in case of an
emergency was illustrated the other
evening at 31st street and Broadway.
Not only did the equine prove conclu-
sively to several hundreds of people
that an animal was capable of saving
its own life when the necessity present~
ed itself, but portrayed also to the
many who saw the act that he could
save the life of his master as well.

South—bound cable car No. 89 of the
Columbus avenue division Was going
down Broadway at a rapid rate of
speed. The horse, which was attached
to a. delivery wagon, was going from
east to west, also at a very rapid gait.
The driver, who had a. companion in
the person of a boy 12 years old, un-
mindful of the approach of the car,
failed to reduce his speed when Broad-
way was reached.

to rheumatism. The other week the '

saw each other until it seemed too late
to avoid an accident. By this time the
horse was half way across the east
track and the car was close upon it.
The gripman let go his grip and put on
the brakes, but the people who wit—
nessed the sight did not think for a
moment that either the horse or its
driver would come out of the accident
alive, but the horse, with common sense
which would do credit to many human
beings, instead of trying to get across
.the track, with the possibility of
wrecking the wagon and killing its
. occupants, stopped short directly in
front of the car, reared on its hind legs
and let the car come on.

When it- was upon him he intelli-
gently let his frontfect down over the
dashboard and into the car. This done,
he quickly raised his hind legs on to
the steps, and after the horse gave a
short neigh of happir-ss the car came
to a standstill and the equine backed
off.

The car proceeded on, its journey
i downtown and the wagon suffered only
the breaking of one of its shafts—N. Y.

Children’s Voices.

They say a lovely woman, a ship in
full sail and a field of waving corn are
the most. beautiful sights on earth. If
I were to be asked what is the mast
bewitching sound I should unhesitat-
. ingly vote for that proceeding from
the fresh, innocent voices of a crowd
of children, free, unfettered and clean-
souled. I have heard the delicious
strains of bands at fashionable garden
parties; I have listened to the frou-frou
of the dresses that cast their expensive
triple-distilled scents upon the summer
air; I have been smitten with the thrill
of the nightingale and the soft drone
of the bees; I have been witched with
the magic spell of music on moonlit
waters. The chorus of childhood
transcends them all. It is the highest
output of humanity—a rehearsal of the
great festival in the Children’s home.
All the ,divines who ever dogmatized,
the preachers who ever prophesied, the
Calvinists who ever gloomified—all the
ecclesiastics of every church Beneath
the glowing sun shall "never persuade
me that laughter dies on earth and has
no entrance into IIeaven.—-“A Country
I Doctor,” in London Telegraph.

 

 

HE WAS NO LAWYER.

 

Made Attorney-General Because of This
Remarkable Fact.

Gov. Culberson, of Texas. thus ex-
plains how he entered politics. and ob—
tained his first office, that. of attorney-
general, says the Washington Star:

"I had been practicing law,” he said,
, “and thought I had made aboutenough
reputation to justify branching out.
. I did not expect to be nominated, but
i I thought. it would be a good introduc-
' tion to start with a race for the attor-
ney-genoralship. George Clark, one of
the ablest lawyers in the country, was
l my opponent. He was placed in nom-
ination by a. brilliant speech, while my
friend who proposed my name neg-
lected to mention my legal attain-
ments. It looked dark for me, when a
man from the panhandle arose and
, said: ‘Mr. Speaker, they say Clark’s
a. great lawyer. I come with proxies

rom my end of the state all in my
pocket, an’ I was notified to vote for
Clark. But I know no one had any idee
he was a. lawyer. This state has been
Log-swaggled by the lawyers til] she's
so pore she can’t sell enough cotton to
pay for the cattle the cactus kills, all
.011 account of the. lawyers, and the
railroads that keeps ’em up. I hope we
won’t put in any lawyer, and I‘m for
Culberson. ‘ Nobody ever accused him
of being a lawyer.’ That speech result-
ed in my nomination.”

A

The Prodigal’s Return.

Judge Lamar, at a political meeting
in his own state, alluding to the civil
war, suggested as a parallel case the
parable of the prodigal son and the joy-

naughty boy returned. He was succeed-
"ed by a negro, a republican, who, after
i some general remarks, paid his respects
to Lamar’s parallel. “h‘orgiben!” said
he, “dey forgiben, -dem brigadiers?
Why, dey’se ceme walkin’ into de house,
an’ bang de do’, an’ go up to de 01’ man
i an’ say: ‘Whar dat veal? ”

TURKEY’S CAPITAL.

Some Fresh Facts About the City
of the Golden Horn.

 

Past and Present Aspect of the Great
Metrbpolis of the Mohammedans—The
Population and Principal Build-
ings of the City.

 

Now that public attention is so keen-.

ly drawn to the-almost anarchic state

of Turkey, the [following particulars _

of the capital of'the Ottoman empire
will be of interest: Byzantium, Islam-
boul, or Constantinople as the place
has been variously called, is situated
at the junction of the Bosphorus and
the Sea of Marmora, and may be said
to be composed of three distinct towns,
viz., Stamboul, Pera—Galata and Scutari.

The two first named are on the Eu-
ropean shore, and are divided by the
creek called the Golden Horn, while
Scutari lies on the Asiatic side, and is
separated from them by the 1305th
rus. Stamboul, or Constantinople
proper, occupies the site of ancient By-
zantium, and, like ancient Rome, is
built on seven hills. On the first. of
these are the Old Seraglio and the fa-
;nous mosque of Santa'Sophia. Stam—
boul lies on a triangular promontory
washed by the waters of the Golden
Ilorn on the north, and by the limpid
Sea of Marmora on the south. while the

swift current of the BOSphorus flows "

past its eastern front.

Scutari, although a suburb of Con-
stantinople, is practically a separate
town, the distance. across the water
being about two miles. It largely re-
sembles Stamboul, both externally and
internally, with its numerous mosques,
its bazaars, public baths and manufac-
torics. It ,will be remembered chiefly
by English readers on account of
its hospital having been used by the
Anglo-French army in the winter of
1854-5 and by reason of its beautiful
English cemetery with its monument
to the heroes of the Crimean campaign.
Its population is now about 60,000, that
of the whole capital being about 1,500,-
000.

Stamboul is the native city. and con-
tains most of the government. and pub-
lic buildings. Here are situated for in-
stance, the sublime porte (a. gateway
of justice, from which the government
of Turkey takes its name), the war
office, the seraglio. the law courts, the
railway station, the custom house, the
mosques of Santa- Sophia and count-
less others; the mint and museums, the
Han Yeni, and the Egyptian bazaars.
The landward side of the city of Tlheo—
dosius, rebuilt in 447 A. D., and now in
a ruinous state.

Pera—Galata is the European or Chris-
tian town, and the center.of business,
the Imperial, Ottoman and other banks,
the exchange, and steamship and mer—
chants’ offices being in Galata. Most of
the embassies are situated on the hill
of Peru. The principal street of Con-
stantinople, where all the European
shops are, is the Grandc Rue. de Pera,
and the next in importance is the. Rue
Tepe Bachi, along which the ‘Pera-
Galata trams run, and where the best
hotels, the British embassy and the
Petits Champs Municipality gardezs
are situated. The Yildiz Kiosk, where
at present the sultan resides, is practi-
cally in the country, about four miles
from the sublime porte. The palace
is surrounded by barracks, where a
large force of the Imperial Guards is
quartered; and no strangers are al-
]owed to enter the gates.

The Golden Horn—La. Corne d’Or,
Chryso Keras—call it what you will,
the name of the classic waterway is one
with which to conjure. That its greater
glory is now gone is nottobe disputed;
that it still remains the most interest-
ing strip of water in the world is as lit-
tle to be denied. On one side. of it. rises
a lord] y line of mosques, those of Santa
Sophia, Sultan Mahmoud, Sultan
Selim, Sultan Bajazet, of Sultan Ma-
hamond conqueror of the Christians—-

who shall say how many more? Up 7

the heights on the further shore climb
the palaces of the foreign ambassadors,
that of Britain, as is meet and right,
standing above them all.

Crouching down by the water’s edge.
are the arsenal and the admirality,
barracks and custom houses, prisorzr;
and powder magazine; every one who
wishes to pile up a block of govern-
ment buildings seeks a. site for it on the
shores of the Golden Horn. Until (30
years ago, those who wished to cross
the Horn called up a‘kaik or waited for
a. ferryboat; then it occurred to the
Sultan Mahoud ‘II. that a permanent
way might be an advantage. Accord—
ingly he summoned the grand admiral
-—no less important an official is cus-
todian of the Golden Horn—and bade
him see the thing should be done, the
sultan adding significantly that he
meant to survey the undertaking in
person at a specified date. Georgi, a.
Greek, took the work in hand and did:
it well, as his lord attested, ‘when the
way was baptized in the name “Noos-
sretya” (the benefaction). From sun—
set to sunrise throughout the year it

was declared that this bridge should.

remain open, while during the feast
of Rhamazan free passage is allowed
throughout the night, that the follow-
ers of Allah may visit. mosques at their
own time—St. James’ Budget.

(More Time Was Needed.

A good story is told of an American
plutocrat visiting Oxford. On his tour
of the colleges nothing struck him so
much as the velvety turf in one of the.
quadrangles. He asked for the garden-

er, and made minute inquiries as to the

method of laying down and maintaining
the grass. “That’s all, is it?” he ex-
claimed, when the whole process had
been carefully described. “Yes, sir,” re-
plied the gardener, with a twinkle in his
eye, “that’s all, but we generally leave it
three or four centuries to settle in.”—
Pears'on’s Weekly.

:luct of human life is to“ suppose that
other men’s opinions are to make us
