GROWTH OF THE CITIES

The cities have grown with a steady
increase. Athens, for instance, which in
1880 had a population Of 1000 only, has
now $4,000 inhabitants. Thensit was a
congregation Of modern novels and mud
huts. 1t has been enlarged it boasts Of
stone and marble buildings, is lighted
with gas, has free schools, free hospitals,
libraries, museums, asylums, Observable
lies, colleges, and a university. There
are 1900 students i'm Athens. They come
from all parts of the east to finish their
studies in the classical city. Patras, at
the gulf Of Corinth, has 5000 inhabi-
taRts. Here one can see, side 10y side,
Turkish and Grecian civilization. The
difference is as great as between a north
eFn and southern village. Patrss, which
languished under the Turks, promises
now to become one Of the great cities Of
the Mediterranean.

RESPECTS.

Greece has a free government, a free
press, vote by ballot, and universal, or
rather, manhood suffrage. In every vii
lage there is a free school; in many towns
there are free colleges, and they are open
on equal terms 10 all the citizens. Tue
system Of education is one of the most
perfect in Europe. An English writer,
in a review Of the progress Of Greece,
sarcsstically refers to the Begative viz
tues Of Grecian rule ain Greece there
is no privileged or titled aristocrocy.
There are no game laws, no rich livings,
no Overpaid persons and starved curates,
no pocket parliamentary bOroughs.U
No wonder, then, hat all the liberals
in Europe and America are partisans Of
Greece, and that the tories, wherever
found, are the advocates or a~pOlOgists Of
the Turk.
This progress Greece has made. It
might probably have been more. But
SIS il has done infinitely more In a single
generation than the Turk has done since
the time of the Hegira for a true civili-
ZatiOn-as it has in many particulars
e~utstripped England berself-this imper-
feet record, surely, is enough to enlist all
our sympathies with her and her sons
wherever found, and especially when
they are found in arms against the
sultan.
Mr.. Joseph Cartwright, in an appeal
TO the English people, has one pregnant
paragraph, the limping grammar OF
which is 10 be pardOned for the sake Of
the idea it carries
1--WE ask" he writes, the press Of
this country to point to US one single
element in the present Turkish empire
that can denote its greatness or its pros
perity. What has It ever done for hui
manity-for civilization ? Where are
It's authors? Where its monuments -?
Where its schools2 It's institutions ?
Nothing-pOsitively nothing. One dis
NAL blank, like the desert Of Arabia, is
sl that will be left TO posterity 10 mark
where the Ottoman once stood in Europe.
Let any impartial person compare
the present state Of Turkey with the
progress and education in independent
Greece. Let him compare the wretched
sensual m~aterialism OF the Turk with
the progress and civilization Of Europe,
and having done 50, let him say whether
the time has not at length arrived for
the Turk to take up his tent and depart"
This is the meaning Of the contest in

PREsENT C0NDTTION.

Greece has been an independent king
dom for thirty-siX years. When the
Turk left her classic shores, she had
fought him for seven long years. The
warfare was conducted with extreme
brutality. The land was a desert. No
part of It had escaped the d~esOlating
vengeance of the Moslem fanaticism.
An empty e%Xchequer and 8 desert,
such was the dowTy Of young Greece.
What has she done with them? The
tories who, with Wellington, regarded
| the great sea battle, which destroyed the
| Turkish neet, IS an "untoward event. u
have often declared that she has failed
to fulfill the expectations OF the English
and American philhelienists. Let US
see.
In 1880 the population Of independent
Greece was $50, 900. 1t is now l,250, 900.
This is exclusive of the IOnian islands.
The event of Greece in 1888 was
T.95O,OOO drachmas, or e2S0, 600. In 1865
it was El,O05, 604. This sum is derived
from taxation, both direct and indirect,
from the produce of the forests and rents
Of the national property.
Agriculture has made encouraging
progress. OF oil, for example, which
was imported in 1880, the exports in
good wears amount to 5000 tons; 5000
tons Of figs are annually exported. In
1880 this trade had hardly an existence.
Greece now raises an annual crop Of
10000 tons of currants, although in 1880
the total crop was only 5000 tons. She
exports, also, tobacco, cotton, wool,
light wines, green fruit, raw silk, l]icorice,
sponges, hides, gals, raisins, goat and
sheep skins, Indian corn and other
cereals, emery stone, honey, wax and
madden.
There has been some progress made in
manufactures, also; steam -four mills,
iron foundries, silk, cotton and wooden
factories, have been started.

Gen. X. 4. Lee for Governor Of Virginia.
We have never seen it announced

Lee would refuse to serve II elected to
the Office Of governor of Virginia. We
| do o believe that if the people who
honor and revere him as their ancestor g
did Washington, were to ask him TO re-
store to our highest executive Office the
1 dignity, honor, importance and respect
which il inspired when jefferson, Henry
/ and other great men Of that rank were
our governors, that he would deny them
the priceless blessing Of his great execu-

& period in our history when Vir-
! GINA stood more in need Of this
great mans services than now.
| Before the people of Virginia
bestow a moments attention upon the
pretentions Of any other prominent man
let the fact be distinctly understood that
even if elected by a spontaneous, ire
pressible outbreak of popular will, Gen.
Lee will not accept the office Of gov
ernor Of Virginia. No one asks that a

grateful homage OF the unanimous sup

the days Of Henry and jefferson?
There was a time when his splendid
genius had hurried army after army Of

state, and when our success seemed Us.
