France has made dis debut in life with a
rattle and a wooden sword.
The little feminine revolution which is
going on is significant already, since the
day before yesterday, many Turkish ladies
have given up the veil in the streets;
Others, less bold, or whose husbands are
not so easy, continue to wear it, but it is
of such fine gauze, so transparent, that it
serves rather to deck the face than to
hide it.
Almost all have spontaneously renoun-
ced the hideous bfgMin which imprisoned
their heads, and although still veiied, they
have a very pretty headdreSs, consisting
of the little Hungarian cap or the little
plate Of flowers which people have agreed
to call a bonnet lastly, the papOucA-lhe
hideous papouch-(slippeD-in yellow,
red, or blue morocco, ia which the foot
widened and the ankle was spoilt, is gen
orally replaced by the elastic boot. One
bootmaker has completely sold out his
stock since the day before yesterday ; as
for the miliuCrs, they do not know what
to do first, they are so busy.
This revolution, thus commenced, will
never stop ; and before Il year, perhaps,
the Mussulman woman in European Tur-
key will have conquered her place IN the
house; she will no longer be the Wtaried,
idle, and almost useless being we see her
now she will become a woman, and on
that day, willingly or unwiIliugIy, the
Turks must think Of becoming men like
others and when that happens, this
people, which is regarded, not without an
appearance of reason, as a people asleep,
will be able to accomplish great things.
In this respect, the STAY OF the Empress
at ConstautiuopIe, awakening new ideas
amongst the Turkish population, is con-
sidered by thinkers as the commencement
of a new future. The old mOLahS cry
out; they shake their white boards IN
terror they are allowed to say and do as
they like, but the movement on the path
of progress continues It's onward march.
For the rest, Constantinople is now
quite a French town; the names OF streets
are written in French as we'll as Turkish;
French is the only language one hears
spoken in the streets. Fifteen years ago
it was italian or English, 10 these two
idioms are confined to the contingencies.
The streets are being paved IN the French
fashion, pothways are being made, colon
nades with glazed roofs, containing elegant
shops, are being built and, yet, French
commerce, in this city us throughout the
East, is below that ofEngland andAustrla.

was attended by the Emperor Francis
Joseph and all the Distinguished guests
now assembled at Port Said. The water
was alive with boats Fastening to the
ylccregaI yacht. The ball lasted until an
early hour in tn morning.
To-day the Empress Eugenle arrived,
and was received by the Viceroy and the
Austrian Emperor, and landed amid the
laundering of the canon and the acclama-
tons of the multitudes which lined the
shore. Amo0g the events to-day was the
dedication of IA Christian church and Of
a Mohammedan mosque. Priests aud
ministers of all creeds We're invited to be
present on both occasions. The British
men-of war Royal Oak and Prince Consort
went ashore on Sunday 10 the harbor.
They got ahoat with much difficulty on
Monday evening. A hotilla Of about fifty
vessels, zone of them drawing more
than fifteen feet Of water, will sail through
the canal, bearing the Viceroy of Egypt,
the Empress Of The French, and the En-
peror of Austria, with all the invited guests.
Paris, Nov. I6.-The Emperor gave
audience to Baron Werther, the newly
appointed Ambassador from Prussia, at
Compi6gne Yesterday. Much good feel
ing was manifested. NJ. Werther, 10 pre-
sentiug his credentials, assured the En-
peror that the PrusSian Government de-
sired 10 preserve the present amlcable
relations with France. Napoleon replied
warmly and at considerable length, CON
Guiding by saying that he much wished
the development of a good understanding
between Prussia and The German COME
derati0n on the one side, and France on
the other.
1t is reported that the Emperor will
leave Compi6gne for Paris before tbs
elections commence, aud will remain in
the city until they have terminated. The
radical party condemn the manifesto of
the Opposition Deputies for its want Of
courage.
Bishop Dupanloud has published a let
ter, addressed to the clergy of his diocese,
deprecaling the idea that the present is
a favorable opportunity for claiming the
infaIlibility ofthe Pope. He blames such
journals as l. UniUerS and La CtUiHG Cut

late Instruction is under consideration.
The Government is inclined to clemency,
but at the same time will be careful not
to endanger the future peace of the coun-
try by a mistaken leniency. 1t is stated
that the prisoners will be allowed to
choose between Joining the Spanish army
in Cuba or transportation to the Phlilp-
pine Islands, there to await the result of
the legal proceedings against them.
London, Nov. 16.-According to a new
arrangement the Government VIII dispatch
Her Majesty's ship Monarch from Ports

the remains Of The late Geo. Peabody.
The Monarch will remain at Spithead for
a few days until she is joined by the Anne

Paris, Nov. 16.-As the Sultan has
finally decided not to be present at the
opening of M. de hesseps' great work,
the Viceroy will be abIesto exercise his
hospitality in his own way, and will re-
ceive the credit of the undertaking.
France will be represented by the En-
press, who in her steam yacht L'Aigie,
will lead the way at the grand opening

MARIETTA, OHIO, Jan. 81, 1869.
Editors Latelligemcer:
Much judicious silence has existed
of late among those of scorched fingers,
upon the once all absorbing topic OF
Petroleum.. But the oil Is not entirely
exhausted, Notwithstanding the low
prices for tvs years past have rendered
the labors of the we'll digger OF little
profit, Your correspondent has just
come in from trip through one OF the
most productive oil regions of this part
of the country, and is led to these retlec-
tions by what he saw in the oleaginous
valley Of "Cow Run"
Geographically, the stream of which
we speak, and upon whose banks the
wells stand, is a small tributary of the
Little Muskingum, flowing westward
from its intersection with the Ohio
River. The oil wells themselves lie
about one mile from the Little Mus
kingum river, and ten miles from Ma
rietta, in a northeasterly direction
The territory here was regarded as oil
bearing as early as 1850, when coneid-
cradle tracts of land were leased to
some Ohio parties, who received the
privilege OF boring for oil, for no other
consideration than certain per centum.
of the result. This was before the day OF
bonus and option, and what proved
afterward to be the most valuable oil
land, was leased without the outlay OF
any capital save what was necessary to
buy and execute the blank instru-
ments. AS Is not unusual however in
such cases, neither the original owners
nor lessees ever derived very large pro-
fits from the territory. The first leases
which were taken before any special
interest was evolved, were allowed to
expire and the land passed into the
hands of spectators at prices very
much below what was atterward real
lied, There were, l believe, however,
some exceptions to this statement, in
which the farmers who owned the soil
were enabled "to retire from business"
on the prices which their farms brought.
But must not forget that we are at
present particularly interested in the
wells. Following the stream which
descends through an open valley whose
ton, we first catch Iglimpse OF the
smoke of the engines and the tall poles
of the derricks about q mile above the
immediate scene Of operations. The
sight of some twenty-five engines puff
ing and blowing in their pumping and
running labors, presents an appearance
not unlike that;of small manufactur-
ing village: and a nearer approach does
The wells are situated in an
area about one-mile in length, and
much less in breadth, and scattered
along on each bank of the stream,
which gives its name to this ollapolis.-
Within the space have mentioned, are
located moreIthan one hundred wells,
nearly all of which have yielded more
or less oil. This is, perhaps, the most
remarkable fact connected with the
wells of this locality, and indicates
conclusively, the depth and richness of

TEN YEARS AFTER.


The pumpkins rIpen in autumn's sun,
And the winds OF autumn blow,
The days are dreary, the clouds are dark,
And the year will die in the snow,
But dead or living, or rain or shine,
Differs 1t little to Joe"
l stand on the edge of the clearing lot,
with mattOck, axe, and hoe,
And think of the dinner should have had
Dinner an hour ago.
Yet no sound echoes across the hill,
And nobody calls for "JOe."
The frost lies late on the withered grass,
And my feet are heavy and slow;
But half Of the work for the fell is done,
And I'm ldllng here. although
l think, with my ragged sleeve on the fence
There is no one TO 90 1t but Joe"
How her tongue runs on like a crazy mill
Or a river IN It's flow!
How she lectures and argues and sets mi
right,
With forever a eyes to my mo"
III she drown herself in a sea OF talk,
Like the ancient Pharaoh.
THE pigs get into the yard" she says,
"And root at the doorstep So;"
"The COW has eaten the cabbages up;'
"she would really like TO know"
II lever lCU mend the garden gate?"
And SO she keeps railing ut Joe"
"Win cut some wood for dinner to-day,
And settle before go,
With the mischieVous young one that broke
his plate,
Aud that Is the reason, know,
That wait in the edge of tho clearing lot
And nobody calls for Joe"
When the sleet comes in at the broken PIANO
lAhiver from top TO toe,
For know that soon as the daylight breaks
Ere the sun begins TO glow,
Ter voice will pierce like a needles point
Ny dreams OF the long ago;
"Come! MI UP the kettle and start the fire,
Is hat she will call to Joe"
Sometimes think, with a vague unrest,
OF the lie that ICnS mine to know,
But did 1t on purpose and can't compton,
And Mary and little Joe,
And Bill, and Susey, and crosS-eyed Dick,
With their tangled heads OF tow.
Come rafting into my reveries,
Scattering Inem TO and fro. rr..
A hush comes over the fading fields,
and the autumn sun is low,
TIE day is dreary, the clouds are dark,
And the year Will die in the snow,
But dead or living, or rain or shine,
It matters little with "Joe."

THE OLD, OLD STORY.

The early roses with hearts OF fire,
In the summer breezeS blow,
But what care for the winds and the flow
what do care for the snow,
For April sun or November rain,
While somebody calls me Joe"
30 long as she calls me "JOe?"
For we were alone in the twilight soft,
Watching the fire flies glow,
Watching the light from distant star,
Through the shadows come and go;
Then somebody placed her hand in mine,
And with voice SO soft and low,
With a sweet confusion as half afraid,
Somebody called me "JOe,"
Then ii rsI she called me "JOe."
What are the smiles and tricks Ofnrt
That the modern belle can show?
WHAT are the thousand endeaT1ng words
That the human heart can know,
To the glance and tone that fill my soul,
That thrill my heart strings go,
When somebody's eyes look into mine,
And SOMEBODY calls me JOE"
Whenever She calls me "Joe?"
Let the scales go up or the scales go down,
Let The winds ofadversity blow,
In Loves warm sunlight III sit me down,
Regardless OF sorrow or woe;
Needing never the mocking5 OF fate,
In the years that come and go,
SO long as somebody's true to mFlg
And somebody calls me "JOe,"
so long us she calls me Joe"

Grant as a Head Center.


There was squirrel which ran into q
hole and drew the hole in after him.
This was the last heard Of the squirrel
or the hole.
When Grant was made President, all
worldly or national matters came TO an
end-all things political conferred in our
noble President-the Republican party
with Grant went in at the hole, and Hiram
the First is now pulling the hole in after
him. .....
Goodbye, Great Man and great party
We mourn, but find consolation elsewhere
Grant swings around all sorts of circles
He visits all sorts of resorts-stops at all
manner Of hotcls-receiyes all kinds Of
presents, and in answer to pretty little
speeches manages to thank his auditors.
And always in this style:
IL thank you for the compliment you
have paid me. think very much Of you.
And this:
I" shall buy house here. if l can, and
will come here and live all the time can,
for like it here"
And this:
81 like this State, for it gave me big
majority"
And this:
81 like this part of Pennsylvania, for
never caught such trout before. l am glad
TO see you"
And this:
81 am glad to see you, and shall come
here again and partake Of your hospitali-
ties, for like them"
Bless our noble President. Nothing is
too good for him-the entire country was
discovered, subdued, improved desolatol
and restored for Grant, and none ether.
We arc glad he knows and appreciates the
fact.
Some Presidents have, at times, said
something about the country, its wants, Ca
pacities and resources. They have attimcs
thought of something besides themselves,
but alas! they were all fools compared to
Grant.
Bless the great man.
The most complete personal pronoun in
the world.
He thinks so much and says SO much of
the country.
Happy country to have such great
man to rule it.
And he has lived here for years-a can
die under bushel, and no one knew it.
Stupid country.
Wonderful Grant N Y Democrat.

AN ELOQUENT TRIBUTE.-Alderman
Mackey, of Charleston, South Carolina,
the noted high Free Mason, in late
speech, paid the following beautiful tri-
butte to the Catholic Sisters of Mercy. He
said: "When the ploughshare of war had
marked your streets with its red burrows,
these good women moved by day yand night
amid the nameless horror of your prisons
and hospitals, bearing food for the famish-
ing body, and words of comfort and ofheal-
ING to the stricken soul. TO the Sisters
of Mercy it mattered not whetherthc suf-
ferers were clovcn down beneath the bars,
while striking with courage that rose re-
splendent as the cause it maintained grew
more hopeless, or whether they fell while
upholding the starry symbol Of our coun-
try's sovereignty; but saw in them only one
under the banner of the Cross. They
shrank not from the path of duty during
the four years siege of this devoted city.
The shot and shell of the uniring besieg-
-shattering that they might reach and
reaching that they might spared
not the roof that sheltered these apostles of
humanity, but in their pitiless and far
reaching flint involved the innocent and
the guilty as victims in the same common
calamity! Yot when many of the brave
soldiers of that besicging army fell into
your hands by the ever varying fortunes
of war, these Sisters of Mercy were the
first to minister to their wants--like the
sandal tree, that breaths out fragrance to
the axe that tells it.

that large body of black ants were seen
a few days ago in the highway between
London and Concord, formed into two lines,
extending entirely across the road to the
bank opposite. Persons who saw them es

was fought. which lasted nearly an hour,
after which both sides were occupied in
burying their dead. Their weapons were
their teeth, and they destroyed each other
BY biting their bodies open in the middle.

Eg Prof. Davidson, Of the United States
Coast Survey, reports having discovered,
during his recent eclipse expedition in
Alaska, mountain range of iron ore, ex-
tending from the mouth of Chitkahah
river far beyond his astronomical station.
The range has an elevation of two thous-
and feet. and causes local deviation of
the compass of ten degrees. The profess
sor also determined the geographical posi-
tions of numerous points on the line of his
explorations, and found that Chitkahah
valley possesses soil and climate and pro-
ductions more favorable than those Of the
alexander Archipelago (Alcutian Is
lands). ...
