The Murder of ille Consuls at Salonica,

The Turkish city Of SalOnlC2, which
lies at the head of the gulfOf that name
in old Macedonia, some three hundred
miles west of COnstantin0ple, was the
scene of terrible riot last Saturday, in
which the French and German cOnsuls
were murdered. IL would appear that
theories Of a Greek girl who had just
arrived at the railway station, and was
about to he forced 10 become a convert
to Mohammedanism were heard by the
American cS1>ul who Glanced to he
there. He at ogce interfered, and taking
the girl under his protection, either sent
her to the German consulate, or escorted
her in a carriage to his own.
The French and German cOnsuls,
meantime, having learned of the occur
renee, and being informed that the Amer
lean, who is connected with them by mar
riage, was in danger, hastened to the
mosque. There they were assailed by a
furious mob of Turks, and killed, ac-
cording 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 con-
suPs taking the would-be convert by
force from her Mohammedan friends, for
which purpose he had organized band
of one hundred and fifty Greeks. The
girl. they maintain, did not cry out, nor
object To the ceremony of conversion.
At this stage it is impossible TO deter.
mine which version is the true one, but
Is not improbable that our consul has
been somewhat to blame, as he is a
Greek. and of the seventy thousand in
habitants of Salonica twenty thousand
are Greeks. With so strong minority
to back him he may have thought him
self justified in resisting any attempt oil
the Turks to convert Christian to their
religion.
On the day following the riot, Echeri
Pasha, the new governor of Salonica
sailed for that port from Constantinoplc
in a Turkish frigate, aud by this time
the barbor of Salonica is we'll filled with
the war vessels of other nationalities
British, Russian, Austrian and Italian
men-of-war. French ir0nclads. and 3
German corvette have been ordered tC
sail at once for the disturbed CITY.
AT the approaching conference O.
prince Bismarck with the Austrian anC
Russian premiers this outbreak will bt
discussed. and some scheme for united
action will probably be adopted. This
however. will not lead, necessarily I,
the destruction of tie Turkish power il
Europe. as the apologies and redres
offered for the fanaticism of its subject
by the Ottoman government will be nc
cepted; but it is certain that every sucl
event as this is most unfortunate for tn
Porte, and only serves TO hasten tha
| downfall which many believe to be inev

In order to act intelligently against
the cotton worm, southern planters are
advised by Professor A. r. Grote to act
in concert. He further recommends
that, whatever agent is employed to de
stroy the worm, be used against the first
brood that appears in the locality, SO as
to prevent its spreading farther. 1t Is
highly desirable that the life-history and
habits of such insect pests should be
thoroughly studied, with view to their
determination.

Concerning the Press.
Pleasant Words From Contemporaries

From the Presque Isle Sunrise.]
The Portland Daily PRESS and the Maine
State PRESS, Weekly, are two papers of which
the Republicans of Maine may we'll be pleased
and proud. In years gone by it was necessary
to 60 outside of Maine to find good daily
paper. Maine now has goodly number of
the state is the Portland Daily PRESS. 1t
prints nearly third more reading matter than
any other, and on no other is SO much money
and time expended. The PRESS is strong in its
editorial department. 1t has sentiments and it
talks them out. In the discussion of all national
and state questions the PRESS takes promi-
nent part. The PRESS is essentially Maine
journal. In full and faithful presentation of
its business interests, and reports of meetings
of general interest it will have no superior.
State news is made specially, correspondents
being engaged in all the principal towns. In
the department. of Geographic news it has the
advantage of all the associated press news, and
makes provision for special kilograms respect
ing all matters of interest. Unusual attention
will be devoted to matters at the national Cap
ital, and special reporter and correspondent
will look out for the PRESS at the Legislature.
Market reports and the state of the markets re-
ceive that attention which they should in
city whose wholesale business is large and in
creasing.
From the Waterville NALL
The Portland PRESS seems to be in season in
putting on the harness of 1876. That paper
stands now in the front rank of New England
Republican papers. Its political articles have
for a few years commanded the growing respect
of the party, as well for their wisdom as for
their tact and pungency. AS family paper it
is second to no paper in Maine; while its price,
$500, is dollar lower than most daily papers
of its size and class. 1t is sent during the sea-
son of the Legislature for So The weekly,
"The Maine State PRESS is made up with
great care to adaptit to the wants of the family;
taking every department into special care. The
growing political influence of the PRESS rem
ders it very desirable paper for those who in
tend to give any considerable attention 10 the
political questions coming before the public
during the ensuing year.
From the Maine Standard
Although we are not in sympathy with the
politics of the Portland Daily PRESS, we I'M
hesitatingly pronounce it newspaper second
to none published in the state, while the Maine
State PRESS is the largest weekly journal in
Maine, and presents the news of the week in
condensed form, together with special agricul-
tural and literary departments.
[From the Oxford Democrat.l
The Portland Daily PRESS is the principal
Republican daily of Maine. To it the people
look for the policy of the administrator. Its
