An As1AT1c MoNsTER.--A cores
pondent of the Mrolide Russe, writ
ing from Khokand, says that Fulet-
Bek was held in great adherence
by the natives for his excessive cru
city and brutality. His favorite pas
time was slaughtering innocent peo-
pie like so many sheep. This odi-
GUS monster is said to have taken
the lives of $500 people during his
short rule in Marghilan. He was
particularly relentless toward the
family of Hudoyar Khan, Staying
not only the wives Of his rival, but
also the little children. After the
capture OF Marghilan by Skobeleff
this General would not allow his
men to occupy the citadel. e., the

FANATICAL TROUBLES AT JERUsA-
LEM. The Prussian Cross Gazette
publishes private letter from Jeru-
salem, which says great excitement
and anxiety prevail there in conse-
quence of excesses in the Turkish
authorities and the threatened ris-
ing of the populace. On the I'd OF
June the Christians, fearing an at
tack, barricaded their houses, and
the foreign residents kept an armed
watch throughout the night. The
Germans met at the Consulate aud
made an organization for mutual de-
tense. and sent their Government
formal application for military as
Stance. The Turkish soldiers have
since permanently encamped in the
public squares. A Berlin dispatch
says that the accounts received from
all sources are full Of apprehensions
of further violence and perhaps OF
general uprising in Constantine
pie.
CHEAP SHOES IN PRosPEcT.-The
New York Bulletin states that a new
tanning process put into operation
ia Detroit, MichigaA, about two
months ago, promises to do we'll.
The process consists of certain
use of chemicals, with but a little
bark, the details being kept secret
bv the owners of the invention.
The great feature of it is that work
that under the old process took from
one to two years is now done il from
three to six weeks, the result being
equally good. The actual work of
tanning only requires an hour, the
process of currying occupying the
rest of the three or six weeks now
required. The saving in the cost
of the process as compared with
the cost of the old process is enor-
nous, and so general interest in the
matter will be developed by the
prospects of a great reduction in
the cost of boots and shoes.
The only article imported from
the United states and sold in the

of the age that our petroleum is

FArA.. SHoo TING ARRAY. - las
Wednesday afternoon, as Michael En-
erick. better Known as " McEmerick,
WAS coming down a side bill grade, on
the Walla Wa,la river. with lead of
wood, a controversy arose between him
and Jas. Gordon. who was building
fence near the road. After many hard
words on both sides. Gordon COM
mepced to throw rocks at limerick. who
retreated. repeatedly telling Gordon to
leu We him alone and not to follow him.
Gordon persisted in chasing limerick
until the latter had crossed the Walla
Walia, Theu limerick told Gordon not
to follow him farther or he would shoot
him. Gordon stopped to pick up a
rock, and rs he rose to throw il, EN-
erick fred at him with revolver. The
ball struck Gordon in the neck, and be
fell dead in his tracks. limerick went
to Milton and gave himself MP to
Constable Ingles. Several parties, in
cluding several of Gordon's family.
witnessed the affray and killing. 1t is
said that Gordon and Limerick have
been quarreling for couple of years,
and that tie dispute between them was
in relation to the jumping by third
party of some land that Gordon claimed.
Gordon is reported to have. on one oc-
casion horse-whipped limerick on the
public highway; to have attacked him
with knife in this town, and to have
bounded and goaied Enerick on all
occasions, until the dormant manliness
in his bosom was aroused to such a
pitch that be had publicly said that he
would kill Gordon the next time be at
tackled him. This threat had reached
Gordon's ears. but he did not, it seems,
believe limerick would shoot. Both
men are said TO be of rather quarrel
some nature. particularly Gordon, who
was of very overbearing, bullying dis
position. Letters from the scene of the
affray state that limerick has the SYM
pathy of the neighborbood in this un-
fortunate difficulty. Limerick formerly
resided in this place, ana ran job

did nc. seem to have any use for Ems

RELICS OF ANCIENT MEXICO. The
Boston Transcript has a letter from
the City of Mexico which says: We
had seen, in 1859, some dozens of
the gold images which were excava-
ted in Central America. weighing al
together, it was calculated, 225
pounds. and which came out of 4 600
graves which the profane hands and
spades had violated. Now we have
had the pleasure of speaking here in
this city with the intelligent explor-
er, Captain Mailer, who has been IN
Tehauntepec, and who brings two
very interesting gold pieces which
were excavated few months since
in the house of the Sonora Dona
Gregoria Toledo, in this city itself,
while making repairs. With these
gold objects, in value some 81, 900 at
their price as gold, were some skele-
tons which fell into powder on ex-
posure to the air. There were dish
es in clay. Some of these figures
were bought by the United States
Consul, Thomas Carlock, who sold
them to the purser of the British
ship of war Fantome. Tom Clayton

objects were found and melted up by

desessors in their craft. or perhaps

MANS SELF-CoNcroUsNEss. II am
not sure that the greatest man of his
age, if ever that solitary superlative
existed, could escape unfavorable re-
flections of himself in various small
mirrors; and even Milton, looking
for his portrait in spoon, must
submit to have the facial angle of a
pumpkin. Moreover, if Mr.. Casau-
bon, speaking for himself, has rather
a chilling rhetoric. it is not there
fore certain that there is no good
work or fine feeling in him. Did
not an immortal physicist and inter
prefer of hieroglyphs write detesta-
bic verses? Has the theory of the
solar system been advanced by
graceful manners and conversational
tact? Suppose We turn from outside
estimates Of man, to wonder, with
keener interest. what is the report Of
his own conciousness about his do
ings or capacity: with what hindran-
ces he is carrying on his daily labors;
what fading of hopes, or what deep
er fixity of self-delusion the years
are marking off within him; and with
what spirit he wrestles against uni
versal pressure, which will one day
be too heavy for him, and brin. his
heart to its final pause. Doubtless
his lot is important in his own eyes;
and the chief reason that we think
he asks too large place in our con-
siderations must be our want of room
for him, since we refer him to the
Divine regard with perfect conf
dence: nay, it is even held sublime

A PICTURE OF MARIE ASTo1NETTE.-
Once upon a time there was young
princess, beautiful as the day. accord
ing to her fatterers; red-headed as the
March moon, so said the snvious; who
ut the age Of fifteen was married to the
heir to the throne OF friendly state.
This prince was but one year older than
she, but of a very different disposition
He was as dull and heavy as she was
CAV. No one had ever heard him utter
a word in public. and his only tastes
were for hunting and masonry. After
lis marriage he continued to hunt the
stag. to help the masons when they
came to work OH the palace. and to sit
at the table without opening his mouth,
except to greedily devour food. As to
the princess, she cared for no other
society than that of number of noisy.
dirty little dogs, that tore aud soiled
her dresses; her greatest pleasure was
to ride ON donkey at the risk of being
thrown. and she liked to have some one
point out to her all the odd visages at
the court-a proceeding that amused
laughing in peoples faces. Her only
intimate friends were ladies who were
as fond OF talking scandal rs herself.
which is saying not little. Called by
the decrees OF Providence to govern n
great country, one day. side by side
with her stupid husband, she despised
her future subjects SO much that she
ceased to respect herself; she neglected
to put on corsets when about to appear
in public, and she never brushed her
teeth, although, as We have stated. she
was very fond of laughing. Knowing
we'll that the slightest of her caprices
were to be obeyed, she refused to learn
anything. Her sisuorance was excess
sive. She could scarcely form her
letters, and, although she had a reader,
she could scarcely endure to listen to
him more than half an hour a day. and
then only by dint of playing with her
dogs or with little children who were
brought to her expressly. Neither mn-
sic nor even singing had any charms
for her, because to study them would
have required some application. --Aue-

The recent African discoveries
have developed the fact that vast
min eral wealth under;ies the surface
of that great continent. Lieutenant
Cameron, who has just returned

centuries.
"A bashful admirer made an

She rushed into the parlor equipped

posing marriage, you'll have to be
