| 1t IS stated IN one of the French papers
| that the Hlndoos in the environs of Bombay
nave been much startled by the appearance of
| their god Vishnu, who has several times been
! seen at night whirling past them on
| celestial wheel like a flash of fire. Directly
| ne approaches them they prostrate them
| selves IN the dust. Yet all the time it is not
really Vlshnu; 1T is only certain Mr.. Kemp,
VINO, ambitious to be the first velocipede rider
under an Asiatic sun, has provided himself
with one OF these vehicles, but finding that
the heat rendered it an encumbrance rather
than luxury in the daytime, is compelled to
take his exercise upon it at night by the aid
of lantern.
The Sultan has just made very sensible
innovation upon long established custom in
Eastern etiquette. Hitherto, every Mussul-
man VINO wished to present petiten to the
Padisha was obliged to wait until a Friday.
and to choose moment when his HighneSs
rode on his weekly visit to the mosque This
often gave rise to great confusion to hust
hngs, and to vigorous plying of bamboo
canes on the part of Turkish policemen.
Henceforth petitions may be deposited every
day of the week, and at any hour in large
letter-box which has recently been placed
at the principal entrance of the impe-
rial palace. An aide-de-camp of the Sultan
and teftich of police are entrusted with the |
ting its contents to headquarters. On the |
day after they have deposited their petitions |
the supplicants are to call at the palace and |
receive verbal reply from Raouf Pacha, first !
aid-de-camp and chief equerry to the Sultan, |
who has been specially appointed to superin- |
tend this new branch of the service. Whether |
this reform will be fifty appreciated by the
old Turks Of Stamboul is doubtful; but it will |
be accepted as a boon by the younger Turks
who have no taste for bamboo, and will add
considerably to the comfort and decorum-
though not perhaps to the picturesqueness-
OF the Sultans Friday rides to Saint Sophia.
Some Of the peace reformers in Switzer-
land have been loud in their condemnation,
nrst OF armies and then of monarchs, as the
chief promoters of armies Especially have
tney denounced the eXpensiveness Of monar-
chles. We need not enter into the discus
sion; but 1T may be useful for those who
ponder over such questions to know exactly
now much monarchs and their families cost.
Ihe most expensive of all monarchies seems
to be that of Russia, which costs considera-
bly, more than that of France, while that of
France again may be placed side by side with
that Of Turkey. In Russia royalty costs fl,
100000 a year; in France, q, 400, 900; and
in Turkey, Il, 800 900. Other European ma
tlons indulge their sovereigns with much
more modest figures Among this less eX-
pensive class Austria heads the list providing
for the maintenance of the Hapsburgs
G6OO,O year. Italy comes next, with
E640, 900; then Prussia, with e4s0,000; while
England provides something like ei70, 900
for its royal family. Among the cheaper
soyereignties, the dearest is Bavaria, which
sets apart for royalty about e250,000 Porz

Congress at its next session. The fact of IL
emanating from one hundred and fifty thou
sand people anxious for self-government
entities 1t to thoughtful consideration. It
cannot, however, be forgotten that the most
prominent plank in the platform of the Nor
mon creed, polygamy, is one which is not only
condemned 10y the whole people of the coun
Try, but by the civilized world. The Mormon
leaders well understand that if Utah shall be
admitted into the family of States. with its
system OF .polygamy, they can regulate mat
ters to suit themselves. The laws relating
TO marriage at the present time are
alnerent IN many of the States and that
tnere Is no general law on the subject is to
be regretted. That polygamy should be re-
cognized and sanctioned is little too much
OF good thing in this age, notwithstanding
that the application comes from large BODY
OF people in section of the country which
they have made fruitful and productive. The
position of the Mormons we regard as unten
aole. They cannot be admitted as long as
they possess their present system. The
country, however, looks for some action on
the subject from Congress. Special legisla
uon should be taken, and the Mormon chief
should be given to understand that the sooner
he puts his house in order the better. and
make his preparations to move. If Mormon
Ism is to flourish it must do so outside of the
American Union. The system is one that
cannot be recognized.
