A Turkish Doctor.

We give the following as remarkably
characterls:ic-no one is expected to swear to
the truth of a jest;-A particular class of
Emirs, or the descendants of Fatima the
daughter of Mohammed, are generally sup
posed to possess the virtue Of healing the
nervous diseases OF the face called Yelanjik
They wear green turbans, repeat certain
prayers over the patient and are supposed
TO possess charm in their fingers ends
The Emir lays his thumb on his nose, brea-
thes upon the extened fingers, then lays it
upon the forehead Of the patient, and press
ing upon the nerves of the face, utters
short prayer. Thus he often succeeds in
dispelling the malady in few minutes
whether by his own medical skill, or by
the credulity of his superstitious patients
may be questioned. Strange to say, their
only belief is, that when cure is not ef-
fected it is not because Of the inefficacv of
the charmed fingers, but the disease was not
genuine felanjik and, therefore, the holy
Emir could not cure it. When any disease
fails to be cured by either of these charac-
ters, Gelinjikgee and YeIanjikgee, then in
dispar, the other disciples OF the healing art
are summoned of whom there is no scarcity
in Constautinople, where the last conner is
generally patronized, until some new pre-
tender succeeds him. A person exceed
ingly i'll once of typhus fever, called in one
of these medical gentlemen, who, although
he considered the case quite hopeless pres
cribed for his patient and took his leave.
The next day in passing by, he inquired of
a servant at the door if his master was
not dead Dead? No. He is much better"
Whereupon the doctor proceeded up stairs
to obtain the solution of this miracle
"Why," said the convalescent, II was
consumed with thirst, and drank pailful
of the juice Of picked cabbage" "Won-
derful, quoth the doctor, and out came the
tablets whereupon was inscribed, "Cured
of typhus fever Mohammed Agha, an up
hol:terer, BY drinking pailfull Of picked
abbage juice" Soon after the worthy doc
tor was called to another patient Yaghik-
gee, or dealer in embroidered bandkerchiefs,
suffering from the same maIady. He forth
with prescribed "a paIfu'I of picked cab
bage juice" On calling the next day to
congratulate his patient on his recovery,
he was astonshed TO be told the man was
dead. The Oriental Escuapius, in his be-
wilderment as to these phenomena. came to
the safe conclusion, and duly noted it in
his memoranda, that "Athough in cases OF
typhus fever, picked cabbage juice is an
efficient remedy, it is not however, to be
used unless the patient be by profession an
uphosterer"

Interesting to think about.

Scientific writer's assert that the number
Of persons who have existed since the be-
qning Of time, amounts to 8,927,s43,273,.
o75,85e. These figures, when divided by
9,o95, ,oQo-the number Of square leagues
of land on the globe--lesve 1880, ,osc,,
72o square miles of land, which being divi.
ded as before, gives 24,822,O7e persons
to each square mile. Le: US now reduce
miles to square rods, and the number will!
be 1858 $4,000, 900, which being divided
as before, will give 1888 inhabitants to each
square rod, which being reduced to feet.
will give about five person. to each square
foot Of te.rs lrma. Thus it will ts per,
ceivcd that our earth is vast cemetery
1888 human beings lie buried on each
square rod scarcely sufficient Fl ten graves
each grave must contain 1913 persons.
Thus It is easy seen that the whole sur.
face Of our globe has been dug over one
hundred aud twenty eight times to bury tho

Our Country,

A cotemporary has discovered that the
greatest cataract in the world is the Falls of
Niagara, where the waters accumulate from
the great upper lakes forming river three
quarters of mile in width, are suddenly
contracted, and plunged over the rocks in
two columns, to the depth of one hundred
and sixty feet The greatest cave in the
world is the Mammoth Cave in Kentucky,
where one can make a vo age on the waters
of subterranean river and catch fish with
out eyes The greatest river in the world is
the Mississippi, four thousand one hundred
miles in 9Th Its name is derived from
an Indian word, meaning "the father of
waters" The rgest valley in the world is
the valley of the Mississippi 1t contains
five hundred thousand square miles, and is
one of the most prolific regions on the globe.
The largest lake in the world is Lake Supe-
ror, four hundred and thirty miles long.
The greatest natural bridge in the world is
that over Cedar Creek. in Virginia. 1t ex-
tends across chasm eighty feet in width and

tom of which a creek flows The greatest
solid mass of iron in the world is the iron
mountain in Missouri. 1t is three hundred
and fifty feet high, and two miles in circuit.
The longest railroad in the world is the Gen.
tral railroad of Illinois, which is seven hum

Can this be True Effects of Lynch Law

In connection with the recent lynching of
Bargar, the murderer, in Iowa, an incident
occurred which can hardly be credited in a
civilized community. Yet it was the Iegiti-
name effect Of that brutality which scenes cf
violence inevitably endanger in the human
breast, and an emulation of the spirit of
lawlessness and reckless disregard of the de.
cencies of lie shown by those citizens who
snatched the criminal from the hands OF
justice, and inundated him on the altar of
human passion. The body of Bargar, after
hanging for several hours upon t Q tree on
which he was executed was cut down; The
corpse was placed in rough box and nailed
up, and hole being dug in avacant lot, the
box was thrown into IL, the earth rudely
filled in. and the murderer's corpse left to
decay like that of brute, his only funeral
service the curses of an excited mob. Yet
this MAS not the end, for the next morning
earl some Of his quondam execuoners of
the lower order, themselves probably fit sub
jects for the State prison and the hangman,
opened the grave, took the body from the
box, and placing it in wagon with clothes
and hat on drove it to the door of Cobbs
Hotel, where the horrible thing remained
for brief time with eyes and tongue pro-
truding, and its agonizing and blackened
features making day hideous In the hand
Of this strange boon of their revels, the per
petrators of the CHASTITY joke placed slip of
paper on which was call for dinner and
horse feed, and then left the body to be re-
moved and again buried by those who chose
to take upon themselves the disagreeable
but necessary duty.

Love of Country.

1t scarcely matters where man is born
whether amid the frost and snow of the
Polar regions, or in those southern cimes
where the verdue of earth is perennial, he
loves, and to the attest hour of his life will
love his native land 1t may be bleak and
inhospltable, its government may be oppres-
:ive, still he clngs to the soil with an un.
faterng affection, and withersoever he may
60 into other and more beautiful countries.
his memory, in waking hours and in dreams
wanders to his chldhood's home-he can
not forget his fatnerland He loves it
though it exiles him, and is proud Of its
name and fame while its yoke sits calling
on his neck. Love of country is life-i ~
planted sentiment, belonging alike to the
rudest savage and the NEST polished civili-
zed man.
And it is beautiful ordinance in our
nature, that we are all prevailed by this
sentiment. From this springs the fraternity
of race and nation; the cohesion of indi-
vlduals into communities, and their in
cllnation of communities, TO "local habi-
tation and name" From this, too, spring
the strongest manifestations of brotherhood
man caring first for self, family, and
kindred, then for the community und nation
to which he belongs. Through this isola-
ted fraternity, man, raising in intelligence
extends the brotherhood Of communities to
the human race. From this, too, springs
patriotism, which, without country en-.
deared by peculiar associations to love and
defend, would not exist. If man was bound
in mind and heart to no particular spot Of
earth, if the birthplace, the hearlhs the al
tars and the graves Of kindred were no
bond, his first and last sentiment would be
unmitigated selfishness, and instead of meet
ing and defying danger by his hearth and
altar he would fly to other spaces of earth.
lie would be continually a wanderer-
nomad--careless where he pitched his
tent, or where bis grave was scooped.
And since this sentiment is so strong. so
essential, and so beautiful, for the develop
ment of our race, how steadily intelligent
races and nations shonld strive to render
their native lands, their countries, worthy
of their love and pride. The Roman Of
to-day IS shject and bowed down, because
his country is deserted and shorn of the
beauty and glory which Inspired the con-
querlng regions of the C3 ara. He may
love his country as devotedly as did Fabius
or Brutus, but it is not the love which
springs from ride in her power, her vir.
tue and her greatness; it is rather love
compounded Of grief and pity, that she has
SO degenerated. The virtue and patriotism
Of people depend much upon the condi-
ton Of the country to Which tley belong.
1t may be easy to-day to impose fetters
upon the inhcritors Of the Eternal City
but the world could not enslave Roman
in the age of Corolanus. The love of coun-
try, simpl y, is not enough to inspire the no
best patriotism; it must, to stimulate the
oftiest virtue and he: osm, be love born of
just and honest pride

er, whose waters flow in such abundance as
almost to form river. The stream would
force its way into a river in the vicinity, did
not the people hasten to stop it by setting
the bituminous flood on fire, when they tran
quily wait till the fire is extinguished for the
want of aliment. Thus the old fountain still
pours out ineXhaustible quantities of bitumen
Or slime which supplied these old builders
in their vast enterprise. Bitumen also adds
to the durability of bricks, as we'll as firmly
consolidates them in masonry. Could any
thing be added to the marvel of the conci-
dences' Thus travels and expeditions in
Assyria become Biblical corollaries, and new
proofs are never wanting of old truths.

Place were certain inscriptions on fillets of
gold, silver and copper, and also upon a

telligent metallurgist, and its qualities will
