The NAvIEs OF GREEcE.AND TURKEY.
1t seems possible that the navies of
Greece and Turkey may soon be engaged
against each other At present they do
not hold very prominent position in the
eyes of the world, and the world therefore
knows little about them. Admiral Hobart,
who was formerly a captain in the English
navy, is now the principal naval officer in
the Turkish service. During the present
reign great efforts have been made to i'm
prove the state of the Turkish navy. At
great cost, it has been increased both in
men and ships; English ideas and English
practice being followed as closely as possi-
BILE; not only are English officers employed
in the principal posts in the navy and in
the direction of naval affairs, but even in
matters of finance and administration Eng
land has been taken as model. The Ad-
miralty, which is not regarded with ad-
mirativn here, is considered by Abdul
Aziz worthy not only of respect but imita-
ton
Before the Russian war the Turkish ma
Wy was very feeble. Those which were not
destroyed at Sinope were lost in storms in
the Black Sea. In 1865, therefore, the
Turkish navy did not, for apy practical pur-
pose, exist. But in the course of two or
three years, more than twenty new screw
steamers were built, the combined arma-
ment of which consisted of $40 guns
These were hardly completed before the
introduction of iron-clad Ships. At
this time the Sultan, Abdul Medjid,
died, and was succeeded by his brother the
present Sultan. One of his first determine
tions, after ascending the throne, was to
maintain powerful navy. Accordingly,
he has added to his sea forces eight IRON
clads. The largest of these ships is the
Osman Ghazy, which was built by Messrs
Napier at Glasgow, and was launched from
yard in 1864.
The Greek navy is very poor in compari-
son with Turkey, as regards ships 1t has
only ten fighting ships, exclusive of about
twenty gunboats. The largest ship is a
frigate of fifty guns, and the other vessels
which carry more than five guns are either
corvettes or sloops. But the strength of the
Greek navy does not consist so much in its
ships as in its men. These are forced to
serve, chiefly by conscription, and are
drawn from the sea-coast. They are
hardy, serviceable class of men, and, in
many instances, volunteer for the navy of
their own accord.

FAMILY OF COLUMBUS ExTINCT.-It
is curious fact that there are no known
descendants of Christopher Columbus left
on earth. He had two sons, one of whom,
Don Diego, rose to distinction as an Admi-
raj, and the other, Fernando, as scholar.
Fernando was great traveller. He not
only thrice visited America, but subse-
quently traversed the whole of Europe and
almost every accessible portion of Asia and
Africa. He appears to have been pro-
found scholar and thoroughly good man.
In his will he stipulated that his library,
containing 10000 volumes, which he gave
to the Cathedral at Seville, should be free
to the people, and it is so to this day
From books in this collection the late
Washington Irving obtained considerable
portion of the information on which his
" Life of Columbus" was founded. The
following quaint epitaph, almost oblterated
by time, appears upon the tablet which
markes the site of his tomb: "What
doth it profit me to have sprinkled the
whole earth with my sweet; to have cross
ed three times to the new world discovered
by my father; to have embellished the
shores of the tranquil Guadalquiver and
preferred my simple tastes rather than
riches; or that have assembled around
the divinities from the source of Castllia
and offer to thee the riches gathered by
Ptolemy; if, passing in silence over this
stone, thou shouldst fail to address single
tribute to my fathers memory or to my
self slight remembrance"

A GENTLEMAN in London fell in love
with portrait of beautiful girl which he
saw in photographers saloon, and de-
clared he would make the original his wife.
You cannot do So" replied the photo
grapher; "for she is only servant" Ho
vowed that this should make no difference.
At last it was agreed that the gentleman
should dine at the photographers, s, that the
girl should wait upon him, and that he
should thus have ar. opportunity of seeing
whether his admiration was deep enough
to stand the sight of his goddess in cap
and apron. It stood the test, and very
soon the servant-goddess became the wife
The relation Of this story in London paper
is said to have already caused several pretty
servant girls to offer their faces to photo
graphers.

Indiana Horrors.

It seems that Jackson county is not
alone the resort and headquarters of gangs
of robbers and murderers. Benton county
is equally notorious for the crimes com
united of late years by gang of cut -throats
having their headquarters in Pine town.
ship, near Rainesville. A gentleman
writing from Rainsville, December Gath,
gives the following account of the doings
ard tragic death of the chief of this gang
OF robbers and murderers and his family,
and some other items of interest. He says:
" A few days before we got out to the
Ridge, some men went to the house of
man named Shafer and shot him, killing
him instantly. He was very bad man,
harborlng horse-thieves and stealing for
his living.
several years ago some men tracked
horse thiefto his cabin. They INQUIRED of
this man Shafer if the thief had been there
and were told that he had not, but one Of
his little girls said the thief.had been there.
So the pursuit was continued and the thief
caught. Shafer and his wife then took
their little daughter out into huckleberry
patch and cut her throat for telling about
the thief Shortly after this it was found
out that Shafer was sheltering thieves and
murderers, and he was sent to the State
prison for one year. While there his wife
took sick with fever During her delirium
she would say, "Oh, how the little thing
screamsw The murder of her little daugh-
ter was working on her mind. She never
recovered, but passed to her final and
terrible account After her death her hus-
band came back, lived alone, and carried
on the same as before. So three men con-
cluded to put him out of the way. They
went to his cabin one evening with we'll
loaded shotgun. The old fellow was get
ting his supper, when one of them shot him
in the back with twenty-five swan shot
The next day man went to his cabin and
found him dead. Since this three more of
the same stripe have left for fear they
would be served in the same way"

WHAT A MICHIGAN WOMAN HAS Dow

WHAT A MICHIGAN WOMAN HAS DONE.
We would like to hear good sound
argument against this woman's voting, says
the Detroit Post. She lives near Dowa-
giac, in Van Buren connty, in the western
part of this State. Eighteen months ago..
dressed in mans clothes, she bought forty
acres of land, and promised when her house
was completed to reveal her name. In
year and a half, with her own hands, she
has built comfortable frame house; grub
bed out fourteen acres of heavy oak, and
made them ready for the plough, and
chopped and split rails, and constructed
fence that is said to be the envy and ad-
miration of the neighborhood. She has
eight acres sown with wheat She has
dug " superior ditch" on one side of her
land. She furnishes her neighbors with
ax-helves and splint baskets. She dug up
tree, sawed some runners out with a
hand-saw, and manufactured pair of 'sbob-
sleds." She hires team Of her neighbors
by doing extra work for them. Two
months after her arrival she went into her
new house and out of her old clothes, and
said her name was Anna Starcy. In ad-
dition to these remarkable accomplish
ments, and the conquest of the obstacles
we have mentioned, she has had pluck
and deftness enough to overcome the dis
abilities of half century of age, and the
loss of one leg below the knee.

CATHOLICS APPOINTED IN IRELAND

CATHOLICS APPOINTED IN IRELAND
The New York Sun says:
Mr.. Justice O'Hagan, who has been ap-
pointed Lord Chancellor of Ireland by Mr.
Gladstone, is the first Roman Catholic who
ever held that position, while Earl Spencer,
who is brother to the celebrated Father
Ignatius, is the first Catholic who has oc-
cupied the vice-regal chair in Dublin Castle
since the days of the Geraldines-
" Since siken Thomas flung
King Henry's sword on Council board
The English Thames among"
The Lord Mayor of Dublin, Carroll, }
the Mayor of Cork, (Sullivan,) are also
Roman Catholics. These Mayors, together
with many other public and civic officials
iii Ireland, are about to meet in convention
to memorialize and petition Queen Victoria
for pardon of all the Fenian prisoners
1t is understood that John Bright and the
Hon. Mr. Gladstone will second this ap-
peal. Strong hopes are entertained of its
success.

LIGHTS NEAR WRECKED STEAMERS
As the Memphis and Cincinnati Packet
Company's steamer Minnesota was coming
up the Ohio, on recent night, at 81 clock,
when within a short distance of the spot
where the recent collision occurred be-
tween the Mail Line steamers United States
and America, the watchman, Mr.. Jacob
Thorp, and the bar-keeper, Mr. John Nc
Huron, who were on the guards, together
with Mr.. Murphy, the steward of the boat,
looking out for the wreck, and desiring to
see how the place looked, were startled by
a singular pale blue light, which rose slow
ly from out of the water to the hight of
several feet, and lasted about fifty seconds,
when it disappeared. The light itself was
not very bright, yet they could distinctly
see the outlines of the wreck, and on the
bank for some distance. They were at first
puzzled, but before a minute elapsed anoth-
er light was seen to rise the same as the
first
The pilot, who saw the first one, was
now also puzzled, and was ready to believe
it hail, and about to answer it, when
third column of light blue light rose
nearly alongside, as several of the officers
saw them, and consulted as they gazed in
wonderment at the spectacle, at the same
time watching closely for any signs of men
about the wreck, and failed to discover any
cause for these singular phenomena; some
became somewhat excited, and one or two
rather terrified, as they were not much un-
like the ghosts of the departed. The Of
ficers who saw them, affirm positively, and
we cannot doubt their assertions, asserted
earnestly as they are, that these lights, so
singular, wonderful, and unaceountable,
exploded, or expanded, after rising, and
assumed human forms. Every one on the
boat was aroused, and great excitement
prevailed All went out on watch, but
after passing the wreck no more was seen.

ENGLISH Views OF SEA ISLAND
COTTON.

A business letter from well known Liver
pool firm, under date of March 90, to W. M.
Lawton, Esq, Of this city, says:
We are in RECEIPT Of your circular OF the Is;
March, which We have read with great lnier-
est and for which we thank you.
The course Of t 10 market for sea islands dur
ing the last few weeks has been very disap-
pointing to importers. There was an active
inquiry after the first arrivals at tbs begin
ming OF February, since which time there has
been but small retail demand. Splnners have
not even inquired after the new arrivals, al
though, we have no doubt, received the best
OF this seasons small crop. We think three OF
four Of the large consumers may have STOCK
from their purchases or imports, but the oth-
ers must be very bare. No doubt the con-
SUMPTION in France or England has oaen seri-
ously curtailed; IN this country, it's nearly
limited to the Manchester and BolhngtGn
spinners, and two or three in Glasgow. The
Bolton spinners, who consume largely OF sea
islands when prices are relative to Egyptian,
have almost gone off their use. They nave
had the best crop Of fine Egyptian to fall back
upon that has ever been produced, and they
tell 1s that the result Of their sole use OF
Egyptian this SEASON has been most satlsfac-
tory to themselves and their customers,
Even with tuese circumstances unfayorable
to sea islands We think that there must, before
long, be o dem and for two hundred to two
hundred aud fifty bags per week. In the
meantime the triaing business enables buyers
10 find here end there few lots much under
the market quotations., which steady de-
mand would Soon clear of.
