A Turks Revenge.

II ope--to whom be had always been an indul-
cent and loving husband. They had no child,
but still, he kept faithful to bis promises never
- take another wife. Oae day while he was
ont one of the servants came and told him to 90
home and euter the house by private way
omen only to the servants. He did so, and
went to bis chamber to find it locked. With
one blow it was open, aad his dishonor was on
IL too apparent. He was armed, but he made
no use OF his pistols or saber. He simply ad
dressed the man, who was one OF bis lnumate
friends, and told him be could not leave the
room until he was paid. This man stared 10
hopeless astonishment and fear, when the
Pasba demanded FIVE francs. The man paid
it aud gladly left. The: Pasha addressed 90
word Of reproach to his wife, but left the room,
aud commanded a banquet to be served that
maiped alone till lhen.- His wife had always
eaten with him, and been his companion in
stead OF plaything.
He had always honored her above all the
women in the world. and she was treated by
him in every respect no only as an equal, but
as a superior being. The banquet was spread
He went and gave his arm to his wife
aud conducted her to the table, placed her
as usual, but before he had eaten any
thing he Lad taken the five franc piece
and laid it on the table before her
and between them. For six months he ate
every meal with her aud slept by her side, but
always with that 6ve-fraDc piece between them.
Where he had bought her one elegant dress be-
fore he now gave her three Where he had
been kind before he was ten-fold kinder in man
ner, aud be allowed her perfect liberty of ac,
ton. Yet every day aid every night, like an
accusing angel, was that piece of money laid
between them She could not eat, though
pressed most affectionately, with that silent &C.
cuser there; she could not sleep, though the
best physicians tried their skill, with that
specter beside her; and so, when six months
were passed, one day the wasted skel eton body
of the woman was found dead on the dlvao.
THE STRlKE--THE Coal ADE-The con-
tinuauce of the strike OF. the Pennsylvania coal
miners is very seriously affecting the coastwlse
commerce of Philadelphia. The Ledger says
that were the coal trade of that city at its usual
900 to $50, 900 tons of coal sent by water week
ly, either by sea or through the various canals,
whilst now the shipment will probably not ex-
oeed 5000 to 10000 tons weekly, and that oon-
tsins no anthracite worth mentioning. The de-
crease of export does not represent decrease
to that extent of the coal supply but rather a
falling off 10 Philadelphia commerce which is
lost through the coal strike for the benefit of
other cities There is no strike in the regions
which supply coal to Baltimore, Georgetown,
Alexandria, and but partial one in the coal
fields supplying New York. Hence the coal
export of those ports is greatly stimulated.
Baltimore, Georgetown and Alexandria never
knew such prosperous times as now, and their
export trade 10 coal is pushed to the utmost,
whilst the same is true of Weehawken, Eliza,
bethport, Perth Anboy, Port johnson and the
other coal shipping ports around New York
harbor. The fleets of vessels that ordinarily
make Philadelphia harbor busy are DOW trad
ing as they never did before. 'No coal
famine, the Ledger continues, ''exists any,
where but here, aud these towns mentioned
will not be distressed if this state of affairs
should coutiDue indefinitely. If the people in
teresed iu the commerce of our port do not
wish their advantages to slip away, they ought
to do something to prevent 1t. Our harbor
never was so listless as now 10 coastwlse trade,
aud the enforced idleness will continue until
the coal trade is again put in motion in this d.
rection.'
ORIGIN OF THE WORD PROTESTANT. =

derivation and dissemination 10 formal and
official manner of the designation of Protestant.
The Emperor Charles the Fifth called Diet
at Spires in 1929 to request aid from the Ger
mau princes against the Turks, and to devise
means for allayiug the disputes growing out OF
Luther's rebellion against Catholicism, The
Diet condemned the retormers and issued de-
cree in support of the doctrines of the apcient
church. Against this decree six Lutheran
princes and the deputies Of thirteen towns OF
the Empire formally protested on April II,
1880. From this act the designation of Pro-
testant, which then was given to the followers
of Luther, is derived. The Calvioists were
subsequently included, aud the title became
general for all the sects outside the original
Christian Church. The six protesting princes
we're John and George, the electors of Saxooy
and Brandepburg; Ernest and Francis, the two
Dukes of Lunenburg; the Landgrave of Hesse
and the Prince of Anhalt.
