AMERIcANs IN THE TURKISH ARMY.-
a letter in the Boston Traveller, dated
Constantinople, March 2, says:
Two Americans are now in the Turk
ish army, one having the commission of
a Colonel, and the other, | think, of a
Major The former was a captain in the
United States army. Both have gone
to join the troops At Kars, near the
Georgian frontier. How little they know
of Turkey, and especially that part of
Turkey l am thinking that we shall
see them both back here before many
months. 1t will require buta very short
residence in the vicinity of Kars, and
among Turkish troops and lousy peas
ants, with no facility either for moving
about or Tor remaining stationary; with
no knowledge of the language, and no
friends, and in perpetual contact with

q Adams & Co.

The facts in relation to the wonderful rise
OF the house of Adams & Co. are we'll known
to our business men. But the following ex-
tract from notice of the new banking house
of the company, which we take from the ":
Y. Mirror, may perhaps be read with inter
est The facts embodied therein will bear
repeating often as an illustration of what in
dustry, perseverance, integrity and enter
prise, can accomplish Il Exchange
'iOf this house we design to say few words,
and regret that our limited space will not en-
able US to go more largely into details. Thir-
teen years ago we knew Mr.. Adams in Bos-
trious and persevering. The cohfFasspp1 Be-
tween his absolute poverty then and colossal
wealth now is absolute fabulous, and illus
trates what persistent and we'll directed eff
fort may accomplish in this country Unlike
many rich men, he does not forget his old
friends, nor does he give them the cold shoul-
der. Neither he nor his family have any of
the snobism of the parvenu, that marks so
many of our purse proud men, who paint
coats of arms on the panels of their carri-
ages, that they may hide the leather aprons of
their grandfathers.'

over and above his expenses; and when he
made dollar he thought he was doing well.
Harnden's Express monopolized the business,
but still Mr.. Adams kept journeying to and
fro with his little carpet-bag in hand. After
a while his fidelity, promptitude and reliabili-
ty began to attract the attention OF business
men, and his patient industry was rewarded
by increasing business. The extent of that
business now can hardly be realized. In al
most every capital, of Europe, in California,
| from Los Angeles to Shasta in Australia :
in South America all over the U. States
and everywhere, in fact, where we have i'm
portant commercial intercourse, will be found
spread the network of the great Express and
Banking House of Adams & Co. It has come
to be regarded as a national affair, in which
every American, when abroad, takes a lively
| Interest," naf
There were two periods in the history of
this house that gave a great impetus to its
business The one was the accession of Mr.
Dinsmore to the firm. He took charge of the
! New York Office, which has now become the
radiating centre of the whole. He infused a
new spirit and vigor into concern already
possessing great vitality and all the elements
/ of unbounded success His active business
habits. disclose application, and remarkable
aptitude for managing SO gigantic and rami-
fed a concern, are, we'll known to every New
Yorker, and are felt in the minutest details
of its business. He systematized. organiz-
ed, and arranged every thing after model
that can hardly be improved upon. The other
event was the opening of their house in San
Francisco under the charge of Mr.. Haskell.

upon an alleged discomfort among the chris
tian population of the Turkish empire. The
London Daily News gives the following ex-
PLANTATION: a
The evidence of the English consuls and of
the English Ambassador shows that this al
legged discomfort, if it exists anywhere, is con
fined to the Greek race. Now, though the So
called Greek christian subjects to Turkey
amount to some twelve or fourteen millions,
those of the Greek race do not exceed two
millions. Of these, one million are in Asia,
and except perhaps at Smyrna, have shown
no Gisafection. The disaffectiOn, in short, is
confined to few wealthy Greeks in Constan-
tlnople, Smyrna, and other commercial en-
trepots, and their countrymen and trading
partners settled in Europe. The disaffection
in this class is easily accounted for. Under
the old system of misrule in Turkey, they
were bankers for the great landowners, and
the fiscal agents of the Porte in many provin-
ces. They abused their powers worse than
foreign stewards and middlemen, or professed
usurers., This source of unjust gain has of
late years been dried up; they are furious at
their loss. They have thrown themselves into
the arms of Russia, and serve it by promot-
ing or reporting local disturbances in Tur-
key, or circulating any false news the Gear

b SLANG PHRASES The prevalence of what
are usually called slang prases abounds to an
almost incredible extent There may be the
shadow of cause assigned for some prevail
ing faults; thus man may become miserly
from having felt the distress attending on ex-
treme poverty in youth; man may be inf
del in his principles from some defect in ear
-ly training, he may be extrayagant from a
too generous disposition, but no possible rea-
son can be assigned why ordinary speech
should be embellished with so many inele-
CANT expressions. @H9@ /
The language person uses is surer in
dex to his mind than anything else can be-
and no person can be truly refined in feeling
or manners, who, even in conversation with
his most intimate acquaintances, or in his own
family, uses any provincial expression. It is
bad habit, originating with the low-bred,
and flourishing only in congenial soil.5r Let
all who find they have acquired this habit
use their utmost endeavoPs to conquer it. till
