The Queen very justly observes that
while everybody is acqusinted with the
term Sublime Porte, by no means
everybody knows that the name is de-
lived from the entrance to the old
Seraelio erected by Sultan Mohammed
II. At the Golden Horn in 1882, on the
spot where in eiden times Byzantium
stood. The name Sublime Porte 4"
is further applied to the official resi-
denee of the Grand viZisr outside the
old Seraglio.

TEE GREAT BATTLE GROUND.

As anticipated the Republican Ma
Eonal Com mittee are marshaling all
their forces in New York, which is
now the great battle field of the cam
paign. The loss of Indiana and West
Virginia and the doubtful condition of
Ohio, has led to partial abandonment
of the West, and New York is selected
as the last ditch in which the corrupt
hosts of the Administration are to make
their final struggle and meet their
doom In November. Zach Chandler
complains bitterly that the hundreds
of thousands of dollars collected by as
easement on Government employees,
has been squandered in the October
elections. without benefit to the party,
and he now proposes to levy another
assessment to bs used exclusively in
New York, where every available dol
lar is to be expended. All the bloody
shirt stumpers, with their red banner
worn threadbare, have been trans
ported from Indiana to the Empire
State; but, though unsuccessful in the
West, it is predicted that they will ac-
complish less in the East, and Independ-
emit journals, like the New York Herald.

The Power of ignorance.

1t is common sentence that knowledge
is power, but who hath duly considered or
set forth the power of ignorance?
knowledge slowly builds up what igno-
rance in an hour pulls down. knowledge,
through patient and frugal centuries, en-
largcs discovery and makes record of it,;
ignorance, waiting its days dinner, lights
& fire with the record, and gives flavor
to its one roast with the burnt souls of
many generations. knowledge, instruct
ing the sense, refining. aud multiplying
needs transforms itself into ski |, and
makes life various with new six days
work; comes ignorance drunk on the sew
enth, with tirkin Of oil ami a match ard
an easy" Let there not be "-and many
colOred creation is shrivelled up in black
ness OF truth, knowledge is power, but
it is power refined by scruple having a
conscience of what must be and what may
be; whereas ignorance is a blind giant who,
let him but wax unbound, would make it
sport to seize the pillars that hold mp the
lOng-wrought fabric of human good, and
turn all the places of joy dark as a buried
Babylon. And looking at life parcel-wise,
in the growth Of single lot, who having
practiced vision may not see that igno-
rance of true bond between events, and
false conceit of means whereby sequence
may be cOmpelled-li that falsity of
eyesight which overlOoks the graduation
of distance, seeing that which is afar off
as it were within step or grasp-pre-
cipitate the mistaken soul on destruction.
Northern tribune. [volume] (Cheboygan, Mich.) 1875-1885, 1876-05-13
Trouble with silver.

The st. Louis Republican mentions
some of the troubles that will follow the
new money: .."When man walks much
the inside of his legs will be chafed raw.
When less than dollar is to go by mail
il will have to be converted first into
postage stamps. When you run for a
Street car money will fly out of your
pockets at every Jump. When you tell
your wife that you have no money she
will say that you. lie, for she heard it jingle.
1t will be difficult to pay a man quarter
by mistake for half. When you are in
a hurry the shopkeeper will have to
weigh the coin in his hand and sound it
% times on the counter before he can tell
whether it is good. The baby will swal-
low a dime day. A boy with
quarter will lose it in crack in two min
utes, from which no amount of cOaxing
with forks and chips can recover it.
Sleepy men will put buttons and lozenges
into contribution boxes as OF yore."
Northern tribune. [volume] (Cheboygan, Mich.) 1875-1885, 1876-05-13

Many cases of sympathy in monkeys
might be given, but shall confne myself
to stating one which myse witnessed at
the Geological Gardens. A year or twoag
there was an Arabian baoo n and an
Anubis baboon confined in a cage, adjoin-
ing that which centa ned a dog headed
baboon. The Anubis baboon passed its
hand through the. wires Of the partition,
in order to purloin nut which tie large
dog headed baboon had left within reach
expressly. believe, that it might act as
bait. The Anubis baboOn very well knew
the danger he ran. for he waited until his
bulky neighbor had turned his ok upon
the nut with the appearance of having for
gotten all about it. The dog-headed ba-
boon. however, was all the time slyly
10 king round with the corner of his eve,
and no sooner was T. e arm OF his victim
well within his cage than he sprang with
astonishing rapidity and caught the re-
treating hand i'm his mouth. The cries of
the Anubis baboon quickly brought the
keeper to the rescue, when, by diut of q
good deal of physical persuasion, the dog
headed babOon was induced to let 90 his
hold. The Anubis baboou then retired to
tue middle Of his cage. moaning piteously,
and holding the injured hand against his
chest while he rubbed it with the other
one The Arabian baboOn now app cached
him from the top part of the cage. and,
while making soothing sound, very ex-
pressive of sympathy, folded the sufferer
in it's arms-exactly as a woman would
her child under similar circumstances. 1t
must be stated, also, that tn S expression
of sympathy had decidedly quietlng eff
feet upon the sufferer, his means being les
piteOus so soon as he was embodied in the
arms of his comforter and the manner in
which he laid his cheek upon the bosom
of his friend wasa as expressive as anything
could be of sympathy apprecia This
really affecting spectacle sted consid-
erablc time, and while watching it l felt
that; even had it stood alone, it would i
self have been sufficient to prove the es-
S ntial identity of some of the noblest
among human emotions with those of the
lower animals.

How Mrs. PeduncIe Got Even.

Mr.. Peduncle went out to milk the
other day. Now, if there is one thing
Mr.. Peduncle prides himself upon, it is
his perfect command of Il cow. With his
bucket on the ground. he milks with
both hands, and sings meanwhile. Oc-
casiOnally bestowing word of warming
upon the COW if she whisks her tail at
him or tries to scratch her hind foot. On
this occasion he had nearly finished and
was singing cheerfully:
MY soul $50 now be on thy guard
What in the Egyptian sand hills ails
the COW y
''Ten thousand (thunder and borax
stand still y foes arise"
And as Mr.. Peduncle raised himself up
from the barn floor and wiped the milk
out of his ears and nose, he saw up i'm
the loft the wife OF his bosom with long
switch in her hand with which she had
been tickling the gentle animals nose,
and she said in an awful voice:
SOLVER Peduncle, / reckon you'll wrap
your old tobacco box in my handker-
chief again, next Sunday, won't ye?-
and have me to take it to church and
sling it on the tlOOr-hey 2"
When he milks now, Mr.. Peduncle
sings very softly, indeed, and keeps one
eye on the loft.
