CRETE.


In the Mediterranean, south of the
Grecian Archipelago, lies the large island
Of Crete, or Gambia, some 100 miles in
length, with. an area of perhaps $4,000
square miles, and q population of
100000 Greeks and and $4,000 Turl s.
The scenery Of this island is very grad,
the surface rising into numerous noun
tains, the largest of which are nearly g.
600 feet high, though the island is no.
where more than so miles in breadth.
Certain valleys and plains are very fertile
and productive, but the general surface is
rather sterile.
This island boasts of more ancient
civilization than any part of continental
Europe. It was Crete that gave laws to
Greece, when the latter country was bar
barous. Here was the famous Labyrinth,
and the scene of many classical tales, and
a vast cavern is still shown, in which the
Minotaur lived. The more recent History
Of Crete is sad one. Conquered by the
Turks, coded to Egypt,restored to Turkey
1t has been such a scene of oppression
and rapscious misgoVsrnmsnt as can find
no parallel outside the Ottoman Empire.
1t is against this terrible oppression that
the Cretans have for year been strug-
Cling. The country is utterly burnt up and
devastated. and bat for tie supplies
constantly forwarded from the kingdom
Of Greece, the insurgents would have per-
ished from starvation. As it is, their
sufsriDgs have been terrible, but they
fight on, with sublime heroism which
challenges the admiration of the world.
We all remember the recent episode of
Arkadi, in which a few hundred Greeks.
isolated from their comrades in a convent
building, after destroying several times
their own number of attacking Turks,
voluntarily blew up the building with
gunPoWder' sacrificing themselves and
thousands the enemy.
Thus far. all attempts at bribery and
coercion have failed. One Turkish army
after another has been cut to pieces in the
mountain passes. Offers of redress of
grievances and universal amnesty have
been contsmptuously rejected. Ismail
Pasha, the new Turkish general. won
great reputation in the recent war with
Russia, at Oltenitza aud elsewhere. and
announces his intention to ann ihilate the
Greeks, if he cannot subdue them.
And Christendom sits still, while these
gallant people struggle on alone against
the most wicked and brutal government

The following excellent advise is given
those who are disposed to be discouraged
at the prospects in Kansas. By the Bur
liDgtou Patriot:
We see no good cause for discourage
meut. Every new country hss'its draw
backs. Taking everything into consider
alton the people of Kansas have prosper
ed more speedily than do the settlers of
most new countries. Look at the coudi-
ton of any of the farmers or business men
that have faithfully pursued their respec-
tive Vocations in Kansas for a period of
six or ten years. In what other State
will you find a like number of men that
have met with better pecuniary success?
Don't be too impatient to get rich. Don't
be alarmed at the visitalions of affections
that are beyond your control. Remem
Der that the people of other States suffer
as much with affiictious in one shape or
another as do We. Let US make up our
minds 10 be contented. Let US do our
duty, labor faithfully. make the best of
our opportunities, trust ia God and all
will be well.
