NEW YORK, October 23.-The Tn
Lutne's Constantinople letter says:
Turkey refused decidedly the Russian
demand to cede Gambia to Greece.
Russia, the writer says, will not, how
ever, force Turkey to war until
Europe is busy with its own affairs !;
but the way is now prepared, and if
war comes now this rejected advice
will be presented as the justification
for it.

ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.-We met a gen
tleman to-day seeking his wife, who, 1t seems,
was in this place when last heard from,
having come from an eastern city. There
is a strange story connected Herewith,
which the gentleman has no objection to
our giving here. Eight years ago this gen
tleman, whom we shall call Mr.. George
-, left his young wife with his mother,
then residing in the city of D, and
started overland to California. While
upon his journey the party of which he
was member was attacked by the
Indians, and he was carried into cap
tivity. He escaped from them about a
year afterwards and reached San Fran
cisco in safety. During his stay among
the Indians he made considerable money
trading and otherwise, and upon reaching
San Francisco determined to 60 home,
taking passage in steamer for that pur-
pose. Three days out the steamer was
burned, and he, among few others, was
saved by the efforts Of boats crew be-
longing to sailing vessel bound for San
Francisco. Having lost his money in this
disaster he sailed for Australia, which
point he reached in very destitute condi-
ton. He was taken sick, and remained
in the hands of the physician for many long
months. When able to travel he started for
home, and when within five days from New
York the vessel was overtaken and cap
tured by rebel privateer, and taken into
a southern port. He was conScripted into
the rebel army, and forced to the front.
He was made a hospital steward, which
gave him good opportunity to aid the
"boys in blue" and saved him from taking
a seeming part with the rebels. When
the war was over he came North, and at
once sought his home. The old house was
deserted. Sadly he turned to an old
neighbor for explanation. This friend,
who could hardly believe the story, told
him that about three months after he had
started for California, letter reached
them from q member Of the outgoing
party, informing the young wife that
George had been killed by the Indians.
She had mourned for him long time, and
then friend of her husband had married
her, and together with the aged mother,
had gone West, and he Is now seeking
them.-Cleveland Herald.

An unfortunate bachelor in the northern

many unsuccessful attempts to get wife
at last succeeded, by the irresistible
temptation of a Sl5 silver watch, in indu-
cling high-tempered old maid to marry
him. The ceremony having been duly
performed at the house of the BRIDES
father, the happy husband proposed an i'm
mediate return home. "Home exclaimed
the bride Home, this is my home, and
you'd better go to yo,T'n. agreed to

LETTER FROM PETERSBURG.

sales OF Lands--A,,rac,ions TO Immigrants
PErEaspuRe, June 4, 1861.


PETERSBURG, June a, 1901.
There are some encouraging signs 'hat
the day Ia not distant when 'tnm' era".s
will be attracted towards virginia. IN
this citv there are two land agencies, wmch
are advertising in some OF tne northerh
nancrs and not only are the inquiries ad-
dressed TO them very numerous, but visi-
tors often come to see for themselves.
These are invariably pleased--it may be
said, delighted. Quite an important sale
was recently affected with one Of these
gentlemen, consisting Of q tract Of 1000
acres Of fine land in Nottoway, at twenty
dollars per acre and smaller tract on
James river, some distance below the city,
for S5,000-the latter in gold. The pur-
chaser was very much pleased, and
thought he had made an excellent bargain,
until a landholder adjoining one of the
tracts told him he could have sold him as
good land at less price. This of course
had tendency 20 render the purchaser
dissatisfied, but as he bad already bound
himself i'm writing, there was no escape
mention this fact for the purpose of eau
tioniny gentlemen to be on their guard
against unsettling the minds Of stran-
gers who are viewing lands with the
intention of purchasing, or coming
into collision with their neighbors
who are engaged in disposing of their pro-
perty. When man has gone to the ex-
pense Of advertising his land and placed
il in the hands of an agent, such inter
ference is ungracious and detrimental to
the interests Of both purchasers and sell
ers; and postpones, moreover, the great
object in view, Of getting the country oc
cupied by an industrious population.
Every man that helps his neighbor is indi-
rectiy advancing his own interest; for it
cannot be many years after the political
tranquility Of the country is restored be-
fore there will be great demand for Viz
ginia lands from the Blue Ridge to the sea
shore. ! have never seen a stranger, who
had made himself at all acquainted with
the great natural advantages Of this re-
gion Of country, who was at all stinted in
his praise. Social obstacles have hitherto
stood much in the way, but as these have
now been removed, the influx of immigra
ton may be considered inevitable. But
in order to hasten the day, lands should
not be held at unreasonable prices. Such
a thing, indeed, would be fruitless, in view
Of the indefinite quantity Of good land
now or shortly TO be in the market. 5.

Tragetiy In Indiana.

CINCINNATI, January ia terrible
tragedy occurred at Valparaiso, Indiana,
forty-tbree miles from this city, on the
Pittsburg and Fort Wayne road. Chauncey
Page, q jeweller, some time since had trou-
BILE with his wife, which led to separa-
ton, the wife going as servant into the
family Of an old man residing in the vi
cinity. About 9 o'clock last night Page
went to the house and succeeded in OBJ
tanning an interview with his wife. A
quarrel arose between them, during which
Page threw his wife upon the floor, beat
and kicked her in terrible manner, and
left her for dead. He then went to an ad-
joining room, and with heavy poker,
which he snatched from the fireplace, at
tackled his wife's mother, and killed her,
and then, as if to cover up the horrible
deed, set the house on fire and fed to the
woods. The excitement in Valparaiso is
intense. Business is entirely suspended,
and the entire population are out to-day
securing the country for the murderer.
The only person who escaped from the
house was young girl, who was terribly
mangled, and is not expected to recover.

courts can stay the progress of eternal
truth. A call for National Convention
was indefinitely postponed, but it was re-
solved to open huge office in New York,
preparatory to the spring campaign.
