He opposed secession vigorously end to the
last; be was strictly honorable in the nd
ministration Of the public trusts he assumed
after his State seeded; and he is one OF tha
few Southecners who have entered heartily
into the work Of reconstruction and tho
restoration Of perfect harmony. His
energy and earnest devotion to his
people have enabled hin to overcome
physical debility and advanced age, and
to continue his work The selection
of his subjects is characteristic. He speaks
first on 4sThe Centennial Of '76; or, The
First Hundred Years Of the American Union !"
OF this lecture he says: My idea Of taking
this subject for one Of my addresses was not
with reference to the Philadelphia Exhibition
next year, but to take as theme the work
ings and career Of tho American Union for
the last hundred years of its existence its
origin and purpose in oil that tends to ad-
vance civilization, materially, intellectually,
and morally view Of it's past
unriva1ed glories, with hopes Of a still
brighter future, with pence, harmony, and
fraternity binding al its parties" His sec
ond lecture is on 1I1he Present snd Future
Of the South, Of which he says: 'f1t would
be agreeable to me also to make an address
upon the material resources Of the South,
and the present condition Of those resonrcea
As stated before, my chief object is to do
good in bringing about better state Of feel
ing and q better understanding between the
people Of the different sections of our great
and common county" With such senti-
ments, Mr. STEPHENS will be sure to find q

There is something queer about the break.
up Of the School Of Natural History On Peni-
kese Island, which JoN ANDERSON, Of New
York, founded, and which Prof AGAssn con.
ducted during the last year of his life. A1r.
ANDERSON, noted tobacco-manufacturer and
man Of eccentric aud great generosity, one
Of whose acts Eas to settle pension On GAR1-
sA1Di, gave Penikese Island, his summer
home, for the site Of tho school, and added
$4,000 Us the nucleus Of an endowment
fund" Prof. AaABs1z planned the school
buildings and drew up schedule OF the fur
niture, aquaria, microscopes, and other nova
bic property needed His plans we're fully
carried out The buildings cost 32S,00o md
the rest a tride less than $4,000. The
school, which was intended only for the
instruction OF teachers, wns q great sue
cess AGAssrz said, in letter to
an English scientist, that he considered it his
most satisfactory achievement in the Cause OF
scientific education. When he died, $40,
Of the ANDERSON fund remained. The school
was conducted by his SOD, Prof. ALEXANDER
AaAss1z, during 1874. When it closed, in
November Of that year, there was deficit Of
nearly 81, 500. The Trustees, who are said
to have steadily auubbed the founder of their
trust, asked Mr. ANDERSON to make up this
deficit. He at once did SO, but declined to
contribute further. He has since been bit
terly assailed in the Boston press for what
the Hub is pleased to consider his niggardly
chur3ishness- No Massachusetts man, how
ever, has added cent to the resources Of
the school. There has been no session
of tha latter since last November. 4
few days ago it was announced that
q great debt had been incurred, how, no.
body knows, and the movable property was
sold of at auction, doubtless far below its
value, in order to realize funds to meet this
debt. The proceeding is tho mora curious
inasmuch as the school teachers Of the coun-
ty contributed memorial fund Immediately
after AGAss1z's death, which amounted to
naar9y $4,000. 1t was announced that
this fund was for the Cambridge Musspm,
in connection with the AxozosoS School at
Penikese." The fund vas duly paid into
somebody's hands at Cambridge, but the co.,

NEWS FROM TURKEY.

Ottoman finances have not hitherto been
an encouraging or favorite theme Of discus
sion, but recent financial decree Of the
Sublime Porte ought to be- received with
hearty prnises by the inflationist press Of the
country. The S. P. has risen To the occa-
sion, or halfway there. The plan he has
adopted for meeting the overdue liabilities
Of his Empire is worthy OF his title. It is
sublimo,-sublime cheek. From the LIST Of
next January the interest on the Turkish
debt is to be paid half in cash and half in
per cent bonds. This arrangement is to TO-
main in force for five years. Ali bonds
which are duo now or which become due
within that time are to be redeemed" in the
same way. This is very near approach to the
American imitation programme The Porte is
evidently almost q convert to the Ohio DEM
ocratic platform. He hos fooish1Y decided
to redeem half his promises to pay in cash,
but he is to give other promises in exchange
for the other half. The new promissory
notes, too, Gre payable in gold, principal and
interest. Here, then, are two important
errors His Hghness should issue supple
mentary and rectfying decree forthwith
The provision for half payment in cash should
be stricken out, and even the one for the re-
dempdon in anything but paper Of the new
paper that is to make the other half- payment.
Then how easy it would be for Turkey to
clear herself Of any financial trouble. A
turn Of the printing press aud the
thing is done. Gov. ALIEN, who used
to know the great grandfather Of the
Porte, will probably write to the latter at
once-he Will have plenty Of time for letter.
writing after next Tuosday-and explain the
defects in the first decree. So We may hope
to see them remedied. At the same time, he
shauld not be blamed for his failure to fully
meet the requirements Of the occazion-> As a
heathen, dwellsr in darkness, monarch
bound Gehennawards, he could not be e.
pected to think out as perfect scheme for
cheating his creditors as the enlightened cih-
zens Of the land which is trying to Christian
ia his dominions have devised And he is en-
titled to the credit of having already put into
practics what as Jet is only preached hera
What the Ohio Democrats want to do, the
Turkish despot has done He has xepudiated
part Of his indebtedness,- only part, to be
sure,-but there Is hope of his completing the
task hereafter. Il the IalAaton~D D1uhon4Re~
pudiation party carries the day here, an
offensive and defensive financial alliance
should at ones be concluded between Turkey
snd tho United States

The delegates Of the Cincinnati Chamber
recommended. some time since, that the body
they represented should throw its influence
III favor Of introducing the posta@-telegraph
system into this country. This recommends
hon has been hotly debated on several occa-
sions, and has finally been voted down. The
failure Of the Western Union to swallow the
Atlantic and Pacific, and the prospect of G
third competitor, in the shape Of the National
Telegraph Company Of California, have given
the present system new lease Of lite. If
the whole telegraph-servico Of the country
was controlled by one e1tortonate monopoly,
poetal-te1egraphy might become, despite its
patent defects, pressing necessity.

sequent rheumatism. About the same time
there came from Davenport, Iowa, the meteoro-
logical record of day at seven o'clock in the
morning the thermometer indicated is degrees
above zero, and at noon 81 degrees above. In
the afternoon sudden change occurred, and at
two o'clock it WAS degrees below zero, and the
mercury continued to descend until, about mid
night, it was 81 degrees below. The ''odest
nhabitant" of Davenport remembers nothing
equal to this change Of temperature. similar
variation occurred during January in this city,
where in the course of few hours the mercury
fell from So degrees above to below Zero
Letters from Maine written during the same
month speak of steady cold weather, the mer-
curry persistently remaining below zero-"so
cold, writes one person, "that if the honse
should take fire, we should hesitate whether to
stay in and be burned up, or to go out aud freeze

Addy, OF Manchester, oN as a COW, which, while
standing in Manchester and feeding on com.
mon within the city line of Paterson was driven
to the pound by George Spittel, the pound keep
or OF the latter-named CITY, Addy brought suit
before justice of the peace to recover damages
for the detention and for injuries done to The
COW, but recovered none, and appealed to the
Common Pleas.
Counsel for Addy commended that the valuable
part OF the cow was headquarters, and az that
was beyond the Paterson city limits, his client
was entitled to judgment. TIE court scarcely
agreed with the counsel, but said that tue deci.
sion of the case might turn upon the exact length
OF the cow. Counsel for the plaintiff insisted,
then, that she should be measured to the end of
her tail. The court directed that she should be
measured beyond the launches, and deferred
decision till the measurement shall .have been
made.

peated his usual annual exploit of ascending the
financial spout In Pittsburg, on Wednesday, a
formidable document was received from Ciirsrd
Pa, which proved to be Mr.. Rice's voluntary
petition in bankruptcy. The most striking fea-
ture of the petition is that while the liabilities
run up to something like eighty-fve thousand
dollars, Dan put down his entire assets to be a
suit of clothes valued at seventy five dollars.
Even that he claims, is exempt under the laws
Of the State. The principal losers are showmen
