HE BIBLEI IN TURKEY.-The New
Testament is fully translated into the
Turkish language, 1t has been a
very difficult work to perform, owing
to certain obstacles which had to be
encountered in the language itself
But it is done, and what is still more
cheering, there is loud call for the
book. The deadly opposition of the
Turk to Christianity seems to be
passing away. 1t was stated by Rev.
l. q. Bliss, at the late meeting of the
American Board, that Z 200 copies OF
the Script res have, within a short
time, been disposed of to Turks, and
that the demand is rapidly increas-
ing.

BEAUTY OF OLD PEoPLE.-Men and
women make their own beauty Or
their own uglinoss. Lord Lytton
speaks Of a man "who was uglier than
be had any business to be-" and, if
he could only read it, every human
being carries his life in his face, and is
good looking or the reverse as that
life has been good or evil. On our fea.
lures the fine chisel of thought and
emotion are eternally at work, Beau
ty is not the monopoly Of blooming
young men and of white and pink
maids. There is slow growing beau>
ty, which only comes to perfection in
old age. Grace belongs to no period
OF life, and goodness improves the
longer it exists.

Of some of the military commanders.

of some Of the military commanders.
These gentlemen seem to have mis-
understood the nature of their duties.
They act as if the country was still in
q state of war, and the South under
martial law. They do not understand
that they are placed in command sim
ply as n police power, to preserve
order, and to see that the reconstruct
ton Acts be not obstructed in execu-
ton, and for no other purpose. The
Acts of Congress have nothing in
them to warrant arbitrary doings.
Besides, the war being ended, and
the South not being under martial
law, the people have the constitu-
tional right of free press and free
dom of speech and action, 80 long as
they do not break tho peace. The
South was not placed, and ought not
to be placed, under the government
of despotic military satraps. All these
things are wrong, dangerous and de-
structive to the principles of our Go
vernment. They create despair in
the Southern mind, and paralyze oil
the good efforts and energies of the
people. If the military commanders
of the South do not understand their
duties better, General Grant or the
War Department should instruct
them.

Capt. McDougal, of the Freedmen's 8
Bureau, spoke to the negroes, and
told them that if any man, or party
of men, had been promising them
lands, to be acquired by confsca-
ton, they were misleading and de-
luding them. There was, in his OPT
Mon, no prospect of the adoption of
such measure, especially if the
people availed themselves Of the
terms OF reconstruction proposed.

and who, at the close of the war,
held, by virtue of such agency, q
large amount of property belonging

of the firm, it being fully secured by
bonds covering the amount of the

The Mobile Riot.

The Washington correspondent of
the Baltimore SIN says that letter
just received in that city, from IL pro-
minent Northern citizen, we'll known
in the political circles of the North
crn States, dated at Mobile, May IS,
gives one of the most correct ac-
counts Of the late riot in that city
that has been prepared, probably.
1t is brief and comprehensive, and
carries upon its face the impress of
truth. The whole story of the riot,
from its inception to the end, is told
in a few words. The writer says:
"I write you from this branch of
the Lords vineyard to give you the
plain truth rs to the riot of last night
in this city.
"While Judge Kelly Was speaking,
n policeman was having verbal al
tcrcation with drunken fellow, who
was misbehaving, ami seized him for
arrest. The crowd Immediately
around was excited, but not noisy or
violent. At this particular time, the
horses attached to the ambulance of
Col. Shepherd, 18th Infantry, we're
frightened, and started to run through
the crowd. Of course, every person
tried to get out of the way, md, rush
ing furiously in every direction,
pressed against others, and some per-
son believing it to be n riot, fired a
pistol, whereupon there was q general
firing. somo towards the speakers
stand. and some from it. Lights
were blown out; Kelly got under the
table, and then got away to the
hotel, no one attempting to molest
him.
"There was no person on the stand
hurt. The only persons killed and
wounded were opposed to the radi-
Gals, except one negro, who was
found dead some distance from the
scene.
"The whole affair sprang up in n
moment. There was no preparation
for it. The parties mostly armed
were the negroes. There is not re-
spectacle man here who does not
greatly regret the occurrence. Many
of them, of course, do not like Mr..
Kelly's radicalism, but there was no
disposition to prevent his speaking or
break up his meeting by any leading
man here. I was at the meeting
awhile, and all then seemed attentive
and quiet.
Judge Kelly came very hastily to
tho Battle House, and q body of SOL
diers were thrown about the house to
guard him. He was taken to his meals
by the military, and seemed afraid to
leave here for Montgomery in the
regular steamer, having special boat
to carry him from this wharf. Ho was
in no more danger than I am, and
could walk the streets with just rs
much safety. He did not need mill
tary protection any more than L do,
but he called on the military for
effect. It sounded more martyr-like
to need protection. It would create
more sensation North. 1t was trump
card. The whole affair will give Mr.
Kelly more notoriety than all his
other acts combined.
81 regret that the affair took place,
because of the lives that were lost,
because of the interruption of free
speech, and because it does gross in
justice to the people of Mobile"
