The Troubles at SalOnica.

The Turkish city of Salonica, which
lies at the head of the gulf of that name.
in old Macedonia, some three hundred
miles west of Constantinople, was the
scene of terrible riot, in which the
French and German consuls were MUIR
dered. It would appear that the. cries
of a Greek girl, who had just arrived at
the railway station. and was about to be
forced to become convert to Moham-
mechanism, were heard by the American
consul, who CHANGED to be there. He at
once interfered, and taking the girl
under his protection, either sent her to
the German consulate, or escorted her in
carriage to his own.
The French and German consuls,
meantime, having learned of the occur
renee, and being informed that the
American, who is connected with them
by marriage, was in danger, hastened to
the mosque. There they were assailed
by furious mob of Turks, and killed,
according to one account, with iron bars
wrenched from the grating, and in
the very presence OF the governor
of the city, who, it is asserted
by the Ottoman government, made
every effort to save their lives. The
version of the Porte, moreover, is that
the whole disturbance was caused by the
United States consul's taking the would
be convert by force from her Mohamme-
dan friends, for which purpose he had
organized band of one hundred and
fifty Greeks. The girl, they maintain,
did not cry ont, nor object to the cere-
mony of conversion.
At this stage it is impossible to deter
mine which version is the true one.
The American consul is Greek, and of
the 10000 Inhabitants of Salonica 90
600 are Greeks. With so strong a
minority to back him he may have
thought himself justifiedin resisting any
attempt of the Turks to convert Chris
tian to their religion.
On the day following the riot, Echerif
Pasha, the new governor of Salonica,
sailed for that port from Constantinople
in Turkish frigate, and by this time
the harbor of Salonica is well filled with
the war vessels of other nationalities.
British, Russian, Austrian and Italian
men-of-war, French ironclads, and a
German corvette have been ordered to
sail at once for the disturbed city.
At the approaching conference of
Prince Bismarck with the Austrian and
Russian premiers this outbreak will be
discussed, and some scheme for united
action will probably be adopted. This,
however, will not lead, necessarily, to |
the destruction of the Turkish power in
Europe. as the apologies and redress
offered for the fanaticism OF its subjects
by the Ottoman government will be &C.
copied; but it is certain that every such
event as this is most unfortunate for the
Porte, and only serves to hasten that
downfall which many believe to be
inevitable,

Liabilities of Married Women.

The New Orleans Picayune says: In
the case Of Mrs. Mary Pitcher VS.. Walter
Pugh and Others, Justice Morgan
read the opinion of the supreme
court. 1t was held that when a married
woman had been authorized by Judge
to borrow money, and the mortgage was
executed by her after such authorization,
she could not set up that the money was
not for her own use and benefit; that
the holder of the mortgage note, who
acquired the same in good faith or in
the course of business, need look no
further than to see that the married
woman had been authorized to borrow
money. Evidence will not be allowed
to contradict her allegations, made be-
fore the judge at the time when she ap-
piled for authority to make the mort
gage. The concluding language of the
court is as follows: "An, in our
opinion, which the holder of the note
under such circumstances has to show
is that the requirements of the law have
been complied with. And in this case
we think they were. 1t is therefore
ordered the judgment of the district
court be affirmed, with costs"

The Right Sort Of Collectors.

Two Comstockers, members of a GER
tain church in Virginia, Nevada, were
appointed committee to collect sub
scriptions to certain amount. One of
the men being officially notified of his
appointment, hunted up his partner,
and told him what they were expected
to do. This last mentioned half of the
committee stood aghast. "What are
we to do about the matter?" said he.
" We'l'' I'll tell you what 1 shall dol
shall just 60 into the bank here and
draw check for my half of the sum we
are expected to raise" "Good," said
the other, his countenance showing
signs of relief. "Goodl I never
thought of that. I shall do the same."
The pair went into the bank and drew
their checks for the amount they were
expected to raise and the trouble was all
over.

Opposed to Show.

About Dom Pedro a gentleman in
Brazil writes in private letter You
would let the emperor severely alone in
the United States, if you knew how ut
terly he detests entertainments and
publicities of all kinds. At home he
never takes more than twenty minutes
for dinner except on the day when he
invites the Portuguese ambassador to
celebrate the birthday of the king of
Portugal. Then he gives that august
diplomatic functionary ten minutes
extra time to feed. So tell my dear

ertion for these infirmities if they wish
him to carry back to Brazil agreeable
recollections of his flying journey to

mems Of our attainments in the indus
trial and Ane arts, and in literature,
science and philosophy, as well as on the
great business Of agriculture and OF
commerce.. That we may the more
thoroughly appreciate the excellenoies
and deficiencies OF our achievements,
and also give emphatic expression to our
earnest desire to cultivate the friendship
Of our fellow members OF the great
family Of nations, the enlightened agri-
cultural, commercial and manufacturing
people of the world haye been invited
to bring hither corresponding speci.
mems Of their skill to exhibit on equal
terms in friendly competition with our
own. To this invitation they have gen.
orally responded; for so doing we render
to them our hearty thanks.
The beauty and utility of the contri-
buttons will this day be submitted to
your inspection by the managers Of the
Exhibition. We are glad to know that
view OF the specimens Of the skill Of
all nations will afford to you unalloyed
pleasure, as well as yield to you val.
liable practical knowledge OF so many
OF the remarkable results Of the wonder
full skill existing in enlightened COM
munities. One hundred years ago our
country was new, and but partially set
tied. Our necessities have. compelled
US to chiefly expend our means and time
in telling forests, subduing prairies,
building dwellings,, factories, ships,
docks, warehouses, roads, canals, ma
ohinery, etc. Most of our hchoolhouses,
libraries and asylums have been estab
lished within one hundred years. Bur-
dened with these great primal works of
necessity which could not be delayed,
We yet have done what this Exhibition
will show in the direction Of rivaling
older and more advanced nations in law,
medicine and theology, in science, liter
ature, philosophy and the fine arts.
While proud of what we have done,
we regret that we have not done more.
Our achievements have been great
enough to make it easy for our people
to acknowledge superior merit wherever
found. And now, fellow citizens, I
hope careful examination Of what is
about to be exhibited to you will not
only inspire you with profound respect
for the skill and taste of our friends
from other nations, but also satisfy you
with the attainments made by our own
people during the last one hundred
years. invoke your generous 90 opera
ton with the worthy commissioners to
secure brilliant success to this National
and to make the stay of our
foreign visitors, to whom We extend
hearty welcome, both profitable and
pleasant to them.

"Havana" Cigars.

It is said that brown paper in great
quantities-amounting, indeed, to thou
sands of reams-is shipped every week
to Havana for the cigar factories. The
paper is stepped in decoction of waste
tobacco until thoroughly impregnated,
and then pressed in a machine SO as to
look like tobacco leaves. These are
then manufactured into real Havana I"

to be sold at fancy prices to those who

The Sabbath.

An interesting case has been decided
in Pittsfield, Mass. A Hebrew was
brought before the court for Sabbath
breaking. Hebrew Bible in hand, he
showed that his Sunday was Saturday,
and that he kept it strictly. The decision
was at least curious. The Judge told
him that the statute of Massachusetts,
permitted him to transact his regular
business on Sunday, but did not author
ize him to go a-fshing on that day. If
he had been q professional fisherman the
opinion would have been different. He
was doomed to pay fine which made
the fish cost him considerably more than
the market price.
