DREADFUL CONDITION OF THE TURKS
AT BALAKLAVA

al 6dLhhLAVA
The Turks are employed in making a
road-actually making road at last
Its course will be from the town, past
headquarters, up to No. 5 battery. They
are also employed in handing on shore
and piling shot and shell. 1t is amusing
to watch the miserable gravity and indif-
ference with which these poor creatures
work. Standing in rows, the men pass
the shot from the fiat to the beach with
a lazy air, which is only disturbed when
an unusually big fellow turns up for
transmission. Then the groans, the roll.
ing of eyes, the convulsive struggles, the
grunts which pass like electric shocks
from man to man, with the 68.pound
shot or l3-inch mortar, are really aston
ishing, but at last the globe of metal
seems to acquire heat, and is dropped in
the mud like hot potato by suffering
Mussulman. They really are weak and
wretched, not naturally, but owing to
sickness and bad living.
AS to the town itself, words cannot de-
scribe its filth, it's horrors, its HOSPITALS,
its burials, its dead and dying Turks, its
crowded lanes, its noisome sheds, its
beastly purlieus, or its decay. All the

TASTES DIFFER.-In lecture on what
he has seen abroad, Wendell Phillips OBJ
serves:
''In Italy. you will see a man break
ing up his land with two COWS and the
root of tree for plough, while be is
dressed In skins with the hair on. In
Rome, Vienna, and Dresden, if you hire
man to saw wood, he does not bring q
horse along. He never had one or his
father before him. He puts one end of
the saw on the ground, and the other in
his breast, and taking the wood in his
hand, subs against the saw. 1t is SOL
emn fact that in Florence, q city filled
with the triumph of art, there is not
single augur, and if carpenter would
bore hole. he does it with red hot
poker. This results not from the want
Of industry, but of sagacity of thought.
Ine people are by no means idle. They
toll early and late, men, women, and
children, with an industry that shames
labor-saving Yankees. Thus he makes
labor, and the poor must live. In Rome,
charcoal is principally used for fuel, and
you will see a string of twenty mules,
@hssAS ooSAo Vi IL uDOu lQclT
backs, when one mule could draw all of
1t In cart. But the charcoal vendor
never had a cart, and so he keeps his
mules and feeds them. This is from no
want of industry, but there is want
of competition.
A Yankee always looks haggard and
nervous, as if he were chasing dollar.
With us money is everything; and when
we 60 abroad, we are surprised to find
that the dollar has ceased to be almighty.
If a Yankee refuse to do a Job for fifty
cents, he will probably do it for dollar.
and will certainly do it for five. But
one of the lazaroni of Naples, when he
has earned two cents and eaten them.
VIII work no more that day, if you offer
him ever SO large a sum. lie has earned
enough Tor the day, and wants no more.
50 there is no eagerness for making mo.
ney, no motive for it, and everybody
moves slowly.
