nine out Of ten would think differently
but as breaking up plough in trashy
land, should prefer the Dixie, the
weight being little questionable

they are all good and beautiful, and

River water in England

The condition OF the waters of some
of the rivers in this country, says the
Pail Mall Gazette, is now so horrible
that those who fall into them run the
risk, not 80 much of being drowned as
of being poisoned. This was the case
with an unfortunate man on whose
body an inquest was held by the
Coroner at Stafford. 1t seems the de-
ceased fell into the Irwell while looking
at the regatta and according to the
medical evidence the cause Of his death
was the foulness of the water. He had
been in the river about ten minutes
when he was helped out, but died in
forty-eight hours He was, it is stated,
teetotaller, and, probably being ac-
customed to drink pure water, the filthy
liquor he imbibed in the Irwell told
upon him with double severity. His
medical attendant, after detailing the
ailments from which the deceased
died, and which were caused
he said,> by immersion in the water,
mentioned that many of his (witness)
patients were suffering from illness
caused by inhaltng the noxious gases Of
the river while they watched the regatta
crews practlcng. Inc jury returned
verdict of accidental death; but death
under such circumstances can hardly be
called an accident 1t is positive GER
tainty that any person who even rolls
on the banks OF the Irwel incurs the
danger of death by disease, while those
who fall into what are termed its wa
ters y might as well plunge into bath
of nrussic acid This Is n distressing
state Of affairs to any bat those who
contemplate suicide, ana VINO, OF course,
delight in the double deadliness of this
filthy river. There will also be consid-
cradle amusement in Incorporate cir
cles at this additional prool-if, indeed,
any were needed-of the dangers TO
which water drinkers are exposed; nor
can there be any doubt that many per-
sons are driven to drink adulterated
Gin.

Turkish ladies in Constantinople are
becoming addicted to European habits,
much to the CONSERVATION of their liege
lords. For some time past they have
driven daily up and down the Taxim
road, which skirts the grounds of the
Cafe du Croissant on the one side and
the artillery barracks on the other On
Friday afternoons especially there is
often brilliant collection Of equipages
circulating at this spot, and numerous
gathering of pedestrians assembled to
gaze at their fair Turkish occupants.
The Ministry of Police, however, has
Just issued a strict order iorbidding the
resort to this public promenade of Turk
ish ladies in carriages. A similar pro-
hibition was issued some time ago, but
does not appear to have produced much
effect.

She Proved Too Much.

From the Pottsville Miners Journal.l
A Phenixville maid, quite old, becom-
ing anxious as to matrimonial chances,
recently concocted a plan to deceive a
young fellow as to her age. This is the
way she tried it: The old family bible
contained faithful record of all births,
marriages and deaths. This volume the
maiden took to her chamber and select.
ing the birth page, she managed by dint
of scratching and writing to change the
date of her birth to period eleven years
later than that what 1T had legtimately
been recorded. Then the Bible was
placed on the sitting-room table in a
conspicuous manner. That evening
along came the lover He soon began
to finger with the pages, and finally
reached the birth record, where and when
he discovered to his surprise, that his
Angelina was just one year younger than
he. he thought it strange as she ap-
peared older He kept his mouth shut
and continued to tumble over the pages
Next be began reading the death list
and made the astonishing discovery that
the radiant maiden, according to the
bible, had actually been born ten years
after the decease of her father The
young man quietly arose and bid Ange-
lima goed-by, and now swears that
eternal vigilance is indeed the price of
liberty"

A Geneva dispatch states that Father
Hyacinthe has written letter ia which
he says he gave in his resignation be-
cause he could not discuss questions
with men who confounded Radicalism
with Liberalism. He will remain in
Geneva, continue to preach there, and
await the election of Bishop aud
Synod--the only authorities he recog
nizes. He adds that he does not wish to
create a new church, but to introduce
reforms in the ancient church.
