what Ais Mourad.

A correspondent writing from Pera
on the 2Sth of July to the Allegemeine
ZCitung, says Alarming news has
been published relative to the health
Of the sultan. lam in a position to
tell You the truth about him. The
Sultan Abdul-AZiz had got some in.
telligence about the demonstration
proposed by the Sofas, accomplished,
as you may remember, on the 18th of
May. He at once gave orders that
Prince MOurad and his brothers should
be shut up. The rigorous detention
lasted 25 days, during which Mourad,
beset with incessant apprehension Of
death, got hardly any sleep, and sought
to stille bis fears by an excessive use
of alcohol beverages. Then came the
change of ruler, the suicide Of Abdul.
AZiZ, and short tHne after the muir
der of the two ministers. Those catas-
trophies, rapidly succeeding each 9TH
er, exercised most baneful influence
over the sultan. The suicide of his
uncle most particularly affected him,
for he was fully alive to the fact that
public opinion would accuse him of
being the murderer of his relative.
Those violent shocks produced halluci.
Iuations which caused him to fancy
that murderers and assassins were
constantly lowering about him. But,
thanks to the intelligent care of his
physician, this condition ceased some
time ago. He attends the mosque, &C.
cupies himself with state affairs,
reads the documents submitted to his
signature and the journals, and has
even recommended playing The piano.
He takes sea baths, moreover, and
makes excursions on the Bosphorus.
To sum up, of his malady there only
remains at the present moment a GER
tain amount of weakness, which with
suitable treatment will in a month
have completely disappeared. Rela-
tive to a sOftening of the brain. there
is not the slightest trace of it,"

Running in Debt.


The Philadelphia Ledger has this TO
say about running in debt.
The man who believes in debt, and
cites plenty Of men Of genius who run
IN debt, is either silly enough to sup.
pose himself genius, or mistake folly
for genius. Men who write wisely
against running in debt may also, like
many other preachers, fail utterly TO
practice their own preaching. Thus.
Lord Bacon wrote on the wisdom of
business, and ran desperately in debt.
Men of genius are not always ninnies
N their expenditures, though We can
recall thousands who are, from Bacon
TO Webster, TO have the most correct
ideas Of public finances, and yet fail
utterly Ia managing their own affairs.
Pitt received never less than equal to
100000 q year, sometimes equal TO
$4,000. and died equal 10 10000 in
debt. Sheridan was another spend.
thrift, and spent an his first wife's
fortune IN six weeks, and his second
wite's IN few months. Fox was
great gamester and at one sitting OF
twenty hours lost equal to $4,000. II
Is Just this Kind Of genius which should
nave nc imitatOrs, and which has
proved the misery Of thousands OF
families and the dishonor OF all the

Get Il few sows and raise your own
meat this year. 1t is surprising how
soon few sows will stock up a farm
with an abundance of meat. Hog rails
ing on a large scale may not be conven-
lent to every Southern Farmer, but
every farmer can raise enough meat for
use every year, and even few pounds
to sell if necessary. The early matur-
ing sort are best in this, that they are
easiest fattened, and ready for killing
whenever desired. Some prefer the
Berkshire and Essex and others still
the Poland-China. The latter are
especially desirable where the object
is to keep them beyond one season and
to increase the weight. Get any sort
preferred, and give them proper atten-
ton, and then you will be perfectly I'M
concerned whether the price of pork
goes up or down at hog-l1illing time
