 | TURKEY.-The Sultan, Adul Medjid, is in his 26th year. He is represented to be worthy man. who loves his people. He Is surrou nded by able ministers, of whom the vizier, Redschild Pascha, Is certainly no common man. Turkey was never under the infiucnc Of more enlightened councils than at present. IL Is well. The hour demands much wisdom, prudence, and energy.
 UT From the Courier des Etats Unis we translate the following analysis of the character of the un fortunate Charles Albert, recently deceased at Oporto: "Liberal in 1891, in 1926 he returned to the principles In which he had been educated. He gave constitution to his subjects not so much be- cause he loved them as because he hated Austria. Brave as knight errani, he waged war with an en- thusiasm which characterized the middle ages. His qualities and his virtues made him, as h were, ses to belong to another century. He fought like hero, lived like monk, and died a martyr. He was more religious than patriotic, more patriotic than ambitious, more ambitious than politic, more polite than skillful. His ms(ortunes made him great because his misforunes were those of Italy, and every true heart will sympathize with prince who bore to the tomb the tokens of distress for the sufferings of his country"
