Superstition i'm Turkey,

The following incidents are connected
with total eclipse of the moon which
occurred in Western Turkey, November
4, 1873:
As the unfortunate moon grew darker
and darker, deep concern took possession
of the mems minds, and the muezzins be-
gan to cry from the minarets in prayers for
herdeliveranee. When she became totally
engulfed in the portentous shade, they be-
gan to fire guns and beat drums all about
us. Nowtwo or three assembled the min
arets to add emphasis to the prayers.
They redouble their cries, they howl in
Arabic, and apparently Allah does not
hear. Solemnity and terror settle over
the city; it grows oppressive; myself can
not escape ftom the burden of universal
concern, so strong is the influence of sym
pathy. Quarter hours seem hours, and
yet the darkness grows more deep and
hopeless. The dogs begin to howl, and
children cry with fear. The cries and
prayers continue all other sounds are
hushed; sometimes they, too, cease for
a few moments, and then there is ST.
lence, such as might betoken the end OF
the world.
You will see from the above to what
degree the Mohammedan mind is in
eclipse, that they should use such means
to deliver the moon from the power of
Satan True, some of the more intelli-
gent have an inkling Of the ridiculous
ness of these performances, and aver
that their motive in bowling and dischar-
ging firearms is not superstitious fear,
but only to call attention to the eclipse
an explanation which is little enough
likely to be believed. TIE truth is
they are very much engulfed in supersti-
ton.
Not long since, the German and French
colonists in Amasia were in jeopardy be-
cause the Turks got up a story that M.
Amber had buried pigs head, inscrib-
ing some magic words over it, whereby
when clouds gathered, the head would
squeal from the ground and scare the
Runaway. All this the wicked Frenchman
was supposed to have done that he might
create faminea and sell his flour at high
price. The telegraph was the means of de.
livering him and turning out the resident
pasta, who was about investigating tC
ascertain whether or not the gentleman
had been guilty of alleged witchcraft

Sheridan, and Campbell the poet, were
invited to dine at the house of a mutual
friend Sheridan repaired to the hospi-
table mansion of his friend in good time,
knowing that good wines and good IL
quors (among other good things), were
awaiting him there in the utmost profu.
sion. Campbell's characteristic phlegm
on such occasions, rendered him late
the dinner being we'll over before he
reached the house. On entering and
about proceeding up stairs, he was very
much startled by the noise as of some
one tumbling down. He nervously
shouted out "Who's there ?" "'Tis
8ir, ('Iser") rolling rapidly" replied {
voice which, as matter of course, wa

Nothing, said an impatient husband,
reminds me SO much of BALKAN and the
ass as two women stopping in church
and obstructing the way to indulge in
their everlasting talk. But you forgot

it was the angel who stopped the way,
and BALKAN and ais ass who complained
Of it.
