A BEAUTIFUL CHRISTIAN
A scene at Saratoga

A Scene at Saratoga.
Correspondence New York Commercial Adyer-
TIGER.
One of the sweetest, prettiest incidents
OF our wateIing-place life is enacted daily
at the Clarendon. While the thoughtIess
watering place throng sway in and out of
the great dining room, and the endless
CHATTER of tongues and cutlery seem to
drown every holy thought, a venerable
silver haired old gentleman walks slowly
in at the head of his Christian family,
ard takes his seat st the head of the table.
Instantly the laughing faces OF table
full Of diners assume reverentisl look.
The knives and forks rest silently on the
table, and the beautiful, silversfrosted
Christian, with clasped hands, modestly
murmurs prayer of thanks sweet
benedictiCn to Gad The scene lasts but
moment, but all day long that hallowed
prayer of the Chrisl-child seems to float
in the air, guiding, protecting and con-
secrating the thoughtless army of way
ward souls. l could not fiad out who
this brave old Christian was; but last
night his nams came all at once. A love

"Why do you go so early. Mrs. Clark"

Cob, you will laugh at me if l tell you
now really, my desr, won't you?"
''NO, unless you make me, " replied her
friend. And then she leaned forward and
whispered;
"WelI my dear, you know l stop at
the Clarendon. My room is next to that
dear, good old mans, and he does pray
so beautifully every night that | kneel
down by his door with the children to
hear him, and then go to bed so happy,

Wiping tear from her eyes, the friend
said: ''Let me go with youI" and right

Meeting of the County Court.

at hsif-past ten o'clock yesterday morn
ing the members of the County Court as
sembled at their hall for the purpose of
giving expression 10 their regret for the
death of their chairman, Hon. w. K. Tur-
ner, aud adopting some fitting testimonial
to his memory.
On motion, Justice P. W. Maxey was
called to the chair, and Mr.. W. 81. Trafford,
of the County Court Clerks ofics, re-
quested to act as secretary.
Ia taking the chair, Justice Nancy stated
the object of the meeting, and referred in
appropriate terms 10 the personal worth
and official integrity Of the decealed.
On motion, the Chairman appointed the
following members Of the curt to prepare
suitable resolutions: Justices J. @. Wsuds,
Issac Paul, James Wyatt, 7. D. CAssetty
and John F. Hide.
During the retirement of the committee,
Justice W. F. MeRcham addressed the
court in reference to the melancholy occa-
sion OF their present meeting. He had
known Judge Turner for many yesrs-in
fact, ever since the commencement of that
gentlemau's residence in this city. He had
always admired him for his learning and
anfiRbility of disposition, and admired him
for his firm adherence to the prin :ipies of
truth and Justice. 1t was for the posses
sion of :hese high virtues that Judge Tur-
ner was in private life highly esteemed,
and which gave him, in his public rela-
tons, the trust and confidence of the en-
tire community. The members of this
court had known Judge Turner most init
mstely as their presiding officer, and as
such would ever cherish his memory for
the kindness and courtesy, as well rs for
the & rInness and justice, which had charRc-
tsrizsd his official conduct. Justice Mesch-
am said that as jurist he whose death we
mourn was learned and Just, as q citizen,
enterprising and benevolent, as a friend
true and conddiug. We mourn his death,
commemorate his virtues, and in gentle
forgiveness forget what little there was of
error in his life.
Justice Albert spoke in appropriate
terms of the goodness and ability of Judge
Tuner. He was devoted to the public
interests, and always DESTROYS for the pros
parity aud happiness of his fellow-citizens
! Judge Turner was amiable 10 his personal
relauons, firm il his advocacy of right aud
| Justice, and the answering friend OF all
! who proved themselves worthy his cona-
1 dence.
| Justice B2skette had known Judge Turn
| er personally for many years, and had
known of him for much longer time. He
admired the firmness and learning which

and held in earnest esteem the goodness
aud amiabllity which graced his personal
and social relations. e..

FRANCE.
HOW France has been FIeeced,

NFw YORK, Aug. "A letter from
Versailles, July %, says a report was
presented to the Assembly by NJ de Saint
Victor, raising only little corner of the
vail which has hitherto hidden the Job
bling of government contracts during the
siege of Paris, was contrary to practice
read from the Tribune in obedience to
tue claE of the house, which could not
repress its appetite for scandal. The
committee reported that d. Maguin, the
Minister of Commerce of September 4,
made contracts with psupers, who, more
over, had no knowledge of business. N.
Hsguin's contracts amounted SIG, 600, 900,
they were cutdown ultimately to So GOO, :
600, and even then the State was terribly
victimiz I'd out of q great deal of money.
The report selected four for special no
tice. A certain Baillache, who had been
twice bankrupt, contracted to supply
33, 900 tons of potatoes to Paris. dc
had no potatoes, but asked q friend of
his named Dumoulin, dealer in pig
ments, to get some for him. Dumoulin
being So destitute of potatoes as his
friend, applied to NJ. Leon, the editor of
the Figaro Programme, and the edi-
tor, having no potatoes, wrote to BROTH
er in London, who sent him some. But
these potatoes, which cost in L lDdon 50
or 81 40 the measure, were quoted to the
| government ct s. 80 Baillache got
| 1920, 900 upon the transaction. Ga an.

port represents that the State lost 81 200

named Blauchec aster, 3 friend of IN
American named FreaD, got for herself
and her friends a commission of 3 per
cent upon contract which came to
100000. A contractor rsmed Chevsu-
mes fell out with q brother contractor, sn
American, and brought an seton against
him, laying his damage at 5000, 900. The
verdict he got was for 81.

Gan occasional correspondent writes
from Alexandra, June II: A couple Of
letters which appeared some time $50 IN
your columns, signed respectively A. 2.
and Scslpel, have created something lit. lie
short of civil war in the small American
colony in Egypt, and yesterday the for
mer of the two led to a scene at the
Rswley Railway station here which is
worth repeating. Mr.. Strong, lay agent
of the American board of missions, who
Is suspected of having written the letter
In question, was sitting in one of the
carriages, waiting for the train to start,
when two persons, one of them MIR.
Stealogo, the Italian Yankee, not very
tiatteringly referred to by the writera as
the tool of Consul General Butter,
approached the carriage and alked
the gentleman in question if
his name was Strong. On the
latter replying that it was, Stralogo IL
vited him to step cut on the platform, and
on his refusal began an attack upon him
with a heavy stick, through the open
door, accompanying the blows by some
vero unconsulsr language. Indeed the
missionary being muscular Christian,
and having happily for himself loaded
cane in his hand, accepted battle, and
stepping out of the carriage was fast pro-
ceeding to give Mr.. Buffers friend Ro.
land for his Oliver, when the bystanders
and the company's employees interfered
and separated the combatauts, at the same
time disarmiug both, but not till the arms
and back of the Italian had received some
severe punishment. The battle was sup
posed to be over when StraIogo's conn
paniOn, said to be a Col. Skinner, also q
friend of Buffers, snatched Mr.. Strong's
cane from the person who held it, and
handed it TO Strslogo, who then recon-
menced his attack on the unsrmed mis-
sionary with the loaded end of the stick.
The latter did his best to protect his head
with his arms, but his cheek was cut
open before the Italian was again dis
armed This scandalous scene, the de-
tails of which l have had from an eve
witness, is to day the talk of Alexandria;
and some people go so far IS to say that
Col. Butler could have guessed in ad-
vance at what happened, his relations
with Sualogo being very intimate in
deed.

across, and it vas in attempting to do SO
that he lost his life. His body was dis
covered yesterday, and Coroner Brien call
