Prospects in the Brazil Trade.

Now that the absorbing festivities Of tbe
fourth are over, We suppose the enterprise
of making q beginning in the Brazil trads
proposition will be undertaken. Mr.. DAr
cambal, it will be remembered, proposed n
take schooner load of goods over TO Bra.
I'll, if they could be procured, and bring
load Of coffee and other South American
and West India produce back. We have
cOnversed with several of the millers, and
all have expressed their willingness to ven
ture 200 to 400 barrels of their best four,
They all seem to be anxious for the opsp.
ing up of such trade as is contemplated
and declare that they have no doubts Of
ultimate success. One prominent miller
said that st. Louis ought to send 10000
barrels of flour made from this crop Of
to other countries, say Mexico. Cuba
San Domingo and other ports IL will
be most excellent, and about seventy.
five cents per barrel cheaper than any
milling point of the East can furnishittor
When this Brazil trade business is bnsched
to the timid, they cry out, "BaltinUe and
Richmond have the trade, aud it canuot he
taken from them" Baltimore and Rich
mond are both using spring wheat mixed
with their fall, itself inferior, to make their
flour OF, and yet they obtain 81 to 81 q per
barrel more for their fl our in Brazil than st.
Louis mi.lers can sell better article for.
The Brazilians are not such geese as to pay
dear price for poor article if better and
cheaper is offered. Depend upon it, St.
Louis will not have so good and abundants
crop OF wheat to open new flour trade on
tor years to come. An active and deter
mined agent would soon make St. Louis
brands known all over the empire Of Brazil.
A few hundred barrels could be presented
to the dignitaries, political and religious,
with excellent effect, and it would not be
many years ere st. Louis had grasped the
entire flour traffic of South America. the

Turkish Women.

There is great deal of misconception in
this country az to the status and treatment
of women in Turkey. Most persons i'm
agine that every Turk is more or less a
Bluebeard, with four wives at least, and
as many concubines to boot as he can
afford, the whole of whom are the mere
slaves of his caprice, jailered by eunuchs.
and without domestic authority of any
kind. Nothing could we'll be further from
the reality. Instead Of this paradise plu-
rality being the rule, polygamy, in fact.
is fast going out, as of the present genera
ton of Mussalmen few have more than
two wives, while the great majority
have only one. Odalisques, again, are the
luxury of the very rich, and very rare
nous lands, wives are very jealous of their
rights, and-whatever may have been the
laxer rule in the good old times-they now
adays set their faces stOutly and success
full y against Legitimate rivals. The Khan
UNI is in reality as much mistress chez ellie
as any Christian wife of the day. and has,
if anything, more than her fair share of
authority indoor Instead, therefore, of the
barern being a prison guarded with bolts
and bars, 1t is rather sanctuary from
which care and trouble are, as far as hu.
manly possible, excluded.
The man is always the bread winner; he
alone bears the attendant anxieties of life,
while the woman passes her days, if not in
Arcadian innocence and calm, at least free
from the frivolous and not always innocent
amusements which sometimes make I'D the
existence OF her Christian sisters. The
Turks are, unfortunately, not free from
evils, many introduced from foreign coun-
tries, but there is one evil-the social evil
which has no home among them. The yash-
max, feridie, and shalwar, it is true, still hold
their ground, but feminine coquetry has long
since displaced the old Opaque swathing,
that hid everything except the eyes. for the
diaphanous gossamer through which the
whole battery of the wearer's charms now
plays as freely as if no single fold of muslin
remained. The bright eyes flash and the
pearly teeth dazzle beneath the veil, which,
from the fneness Of its texture, no longer
serves to conceal, but rather adds an addi-
tional charm to the natural beauties of the
wearer. The yellow papoosh, too, has
largely yielded to the elastic European boot;
but the Louis Quatorze abomination and its
graceful Greclan bend" are as yet foreign
to the precincts of Acknowledgment

The Great Feat OF Walking 1000 Miles in
1000 Hours.

The completion by Donahue of his great
feat of walking 1000 miles in 1000 hours
naturally excites considerable interest, not
only in this neighborhood, but wherever
athletic performances are held in estima-

annals, and its performance places Dona-
