NEWS OF THE WEEK.
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.


Constantinople dispatch of the 10Th ult.
says "a Cabinet council, at which all the
grand dignitaries were present, has resolved to
depose the present Sultan, Murad, and pro-
claim Abdul Hamid. The change will occur
shortly, certainly before the beginning of
the next Ralldan, the great annual
feast of the Mohammedans." A Vienna
telegram of the same date says: :" Cornell
of Ministers has been held in Constantinople
to consider the peace proposals of which the
outline has been given to the Grand Vizier by
the powers separately. Russia strenuously
opposed the condition that Servia should frsG
sue directly for peace, and the Porte has aban-
doned it's demand to that effect. =. 1t is said
that "a, $50 Spanish troops, of all arms, with
Krupp and Placentia guns, will embark at
Santander and Cadiz for Cuba before Nov. 1.
Germany is suspicious of the Intentions of
Russia in connection with increment for a
cessation of hostilities between the Turkish and
Servian forces, and the opinion is gaining cur
rency that Russias real purpose is to prolong
the peace negotiations until her preparations
are completed for throwing an army into Servia.
that, while the other powers favor an arrange
ment which shall restore peace at once, Russia
only wants an armistice
Abdul Hamid has been proclaimed Sultan of
Turkey, vice Murad, deposed.
The reply of President Grant to the German
Emperor's letter of congratulations on the &C.
casion of the centenary of American independ-
ence was presented on the LIST inst. The Presi-
dent speaks of the close friendship between
the two countries, and hopes such relations
will continue.
The deposition of Murad occasions no ex-
element or disturbance in Constantinople.
The deposed monarch has been assigned the
Teheregan palace as his residence.
Another Canadian town has been devastated
by the fre-fend. st. Hyacinthe, a suburb of
Montreal, is the unfortunate victim. Six hun
dred houses were destroyed, and hundreds of
families were rendered homeless. The pecu-
MARY loss is estimated at 50, 600, 900.
Cable dispatches tell of hard fight
ing between the Turks and Servi-
ans. The battle of the 1st of September is
said to have been the heaviest of the war, and
from all accounts the Turks seem to have had
the best of it. Gen. Tchernayeff had tele-
graphed for reinforcements and battalion of
$4,000 had been ordered to his relief by the
Servian Minister of War. Russian officers and
troops continue to swell the Servian ranks, and
the advent of peace is no nearer than before.
Hard times are raging in England, and the
iron trade seems to be especially afflicted A
multitude of failures, mostly of small houses

Very Doubtful SunstrOke.

The Virginia New Chronicle, in
speaking Of the heat of July 21st, re-
lated the following instance of what was
called sunstroke:
"Wm. Kerrigan, laborer, who was
saving wood near the Gould and Curry,
fell also from the effects of the heat, and
was insensible for half an hour"
Mr.. Kerrigan comes to us and explains
as follows:
cit is thrue, was lift insinsible, but
whether it was the sunstruck or what it
was remains to be investigated. I was
sawin' wood for Mrs. McDennin. Mrs.
McDennin several times came and
looked at me as [ was a-sawin' Of the
wood in her back yard, sayin' to me:
"' William, it is awful hot the day.
Z "' Yer right there, SEES [, its powerful
hot, Mrs. McDennin.'
"Then ses Mrs. McDennin-she stand
in in the rear of the house at the time
SEES she Il finds nothin' like cowld tay
for the hate, ses she, and she tuck tay-
pot off the shelf and tuck schwig.
Well, she several times came out,
and sayin', William the hate is severe,
took a schwig from the taypot.
" Presently, finding the hate oppres-
sive, I went in on my own invitation and
took schwig from the taypot. Thin I
took another, and thin I took another,
and whin I was finally lifted up from
beside me sawbuck towld thin that
was all I knew about the sJhstroke.

Sea-aymDhS and Their Toes.

Stockings of blue, red and stripes are
worn this summer III the bath, knee
high, with coquetsish little white seam
down the side, Us if it was rip. What
cunning has not woman2 She is aware
that her foot is almost always inferior TO
to mans in grace and plant. A man
stands like g marble statue, with the blue
veins cut clearly womau's foot is the
trademark OF irresolution and only half
developed, and the toes take hold of
nothing. Her big toe points upward and
her little toe shrinks into the sand. The
precise connection between woman and
her squeal I could never ascertain.
Originally, no doubt, when she was
alone with Darwin, the squeal was all
the language she had. Development
came along and the caudal part of the
lady became an imperfect bunch of toes,
while the object finally learned to articu-
late. Yet on all trying occasions she re-
sumes the squeal, as Mrs. Darwin can
attest. That squeal runs up the lire of
breakers at Cape May, as the cold water
strikes 5000 ankles. Then we observe
the uniformity with which every daugh-
ter OF Thetis is armed in her corsets.
Their diminished proportions confirm
the story OF Adam that it TOOK only one
OF his ribs to make a whole woman.
But these general OBJECTIONS OF form
only make more admirable the perfection
of her sex. She is from Baltimore, and
weighs about $50 pounds at the age of

A new and rather startling phase OF the In
dian peace policy has recently come to light.
1t appears that one Burke agent at Standing
Rock, has all along had fellow-feeiing for the
hostiles, and has been detected in surrep
titiously issuing beef cattle to the Indians
whom the Government is endeavoring to inter-
cept and punish for the manifold atrocities
committed of late. Gen. Sheridan has very
properly suspended Burke, and will probably
call upon him to answer for his crime.
A correspondent of the Chicago Tribune,
who left Gen. Terrys camp on the 3lst of
August reports the columns of Crook and
Terry as having separated and moving indie
pendently, neither commander having much
expectation of meeting or overtaking any con-
siderable body of hostiles. In fact, Sitting
Bull seems to have given his pursuers the
slip, and the campaign against the Sioux to
have completely fzzled for this year. Where
the main body of the Indians now is, or where
and when they may be expected to be heard
from again, is a conundrum which may as we'll
be given up for the present.

An Alabamian's Extraordinary Death.

One OF the most remarkable deaths
that has ever occurred in this country
was that of Mr.. w. d. Lord on the 18th
instant. I give the particulars as near as
[ can. Mr.. w. D. Lord, Frank Lord,
George Eiland and Thomas Ballard went
to Weaver's Mill, SEEMING. Messrs.
Ballard and Eiland were dragging the
seine, and had caught two small fish.
Mr.. w. d. Lord, who was some twenty
feet from them, swan through water
about waist deep to them, took the two
fish and placed them between his teeth,
and undertook to swim back to shore.
One of the fish being larger than the
other, the least one was not secure, and
with an effort to get away went down
Mr.. Lords throat, lodging securely in
his swallow. Becoming aware of his
condition, Mr.. Lord appealed to his
comrades for help. Help me, boys !"
were his last words. They sprang i'm
mediately to his assistance and got him
to shore. He made several strong eff
forts to get his hand down his mouth
to pull out the fish, but in five minutes
or less time life was extinct. The news
came to me about three hours after that
he had been choked to death by i've
fish. Having heard other fish stories [
was inclined to discredit this one, and
to be perfectly satisfied upon the sub
iect requested DR.. Thomas Mullins to
90 with me to Mrs. Lords, mother OF
the deceased, and, if she consented, we
would extract the fish, if, indeed, there
be any fish. When we reached the
corpse we found it on the wagon, and
everybody nearly ready to repair to the
place of interment; but there was such
anxiety on the part Of relatives and
friends to know for certain the real
cause of his death, they freely consented
for the doctor to dissect him, which he
did in very short time, and, to our ut
ter establishment, produced small
perch fish about four and half inches
in length and two inches WIDE, which
he found well in the swallow. I have
given you the facts in the case.-Letter
to Montgomery (At0.) Advertiser.
