MURAD'S FOURTH WIFE.

Paris correspondence Philadelphia Telegraph:
A few years ago an English woman named
Tonpkins, who kept shop at Pcra, summoned
from England to aid her In her business a
young niece who proved to be extremely pretty
and no less intelligent. Soon after her arrival
she took It into her head to study Turkish, rep
resenting to her aunt that such knowledge
would be OF great advantage to their trade, as
the Turkish ladies would naturally prefer to make
their purchases where they could be understood
without the aid of an interpreter As the
young girl was at once clever, ambitious, and
industrious, she soon succeeded in acquiring tho
Language, and numbers OF the female members
Of the noblest Turkish families came to tho
to the hareln OF Prince Murad to take home
some articles ordered BY his principal wife. She
never returned, and when her aunt sent in
search Of her she received cool message OF
farewell from the young Indy herself, who had
become the fourth wife OF the heir to the
throne, who Is the present sultan.

INTERMITTENT FEVER is so common in
the country as scarcely to need comment.
The causes which produce it are such as
cold, irregular living, over exertion, low
spirits, night air, exposure to miasmatic
exhalatioDs, &c, In large cities where
edge tools and agricultural implements are
manufactured. the grinder protects his
lungs from the injurious effect of the dust
flying off the gripdstone by wearing a
respirator. The coal miner ere he descends
the shaft provides himself with a safety
lamp to guard against fire damp Now it
is equally necessary for those who are
brought in contact with any of the causes
leading to intermittent fever, to provide
themselves with that well known and
highly esteemed remedy against it, the
HOME STOMACH BITTERs.

That board is entirely in the hands of
Republicans 1t is composed Of the sec.
rotary of state, state treasurer and attor-
ney general. believe. them to be fair men,
however, and have no doubt that flair
count will be made. William r. Cock
will probably be admitted to assist the
board. He is Democrat. and is trusted
10y the people, Cock voted for Grant in
1872 and for the present Republican gov
ernor, but took the stump at the outset of
the past campaign for Tilden 1t is my
belief that the days of ballot-box stufing
in the south have passed. Under the law,
thirty days are allowed the inspectors to
make official returns, and it will probably
be the middle of the week before anything
of definite character is learned. From
Dale county the returns must travel to
Key West, distance of sixty miles,
thence to Cedar Keys, a distance of two
days from the capital Nothing authentic
will be known, therefore, until twelve
days have elapsed from the day of cleo,

a Tuneful Editor.

The editor of the Franklin Patriot,
more blessed with labor saving machinery
than the majority of his brethren, thus
chants the praises of a useful invention:
t. other evening we were lying
In our sanctum vainlv trying
To invent some local items for our valuable sheet
When s'fend, who thought us sleeping,
To our desk came softly creeping,
Picked up some late exchanges and then started fol-
the street
Then the air grew denser, thicker,
As our old "Bogardus Kicker
Raised the grim, audacious stranger through the
window with crash
Just lifted him so neatly
That he disappeared completely
With his shoulders ornamented with shattered
window-sash.
And the stranger still is hieng
Through the atmosphere flying,
With alag of truce protruding through the hole
'Bogardus' tore;
And the soothing thought comes DER us
That he never more will bore us
Never come to steal exchanges from our sanctun
any more.

Mr.. Wheeler, of Molone, N. Y, Repub-
lican candidate for vice president, expects
TO be elected by the vote of Louisiana
Counted by the Lynch returning board.
Mr.. Wheeler, of Malone, was member
of the last congress and acted with Senator
Carpenter, of Wisconsin, on committee
to investigate the doings of the Lynch
Board.
Mr.. Wheeler, of Malone, reported and
his report will reveal the methods of the
Lynch returning board on which Mr..
Wheeler now relies.
Mr.. Wheeler reported that the Demo
Gratis carried the state of Louisiana but
that the Lynch board nuli6ed their major
ity by sending men around to count the
negroes who did not vote and enter them
as voting the Republican ticket To this
Lynch himself swore, and Mr. Wheeler
properly reported to set aside the return
Lynch's board and seat the members Of
the legislature driven out of their places
by Sheridan's bayonets.- City Press

Stand Together.

We have this advice to give our Demo
cratic friends everywhere, in every state.
Don't weakenl Stand together in this
emergency. The Democracy comprise
One-half Of the northern states. and all Of
the south that amounts to anything Nc
deviltry will be ventured upon by Morton,
Grant and Chandler in the face of such a
solid front. Nothing but rascality and
stealing can wrest the now disputed states
from the Tilden column, and q united
solid front will stop that nonsense. Til
den is one of the few presidents who has
had majority of the popular vote, and
when SO many minority presidents have
gone in, a majority president will hardly be
kept out.-Ieoria Democrat.

The Charleston Nesrs and Courier re-
minds the Republican leaders of a very
important fact. and destroys the main
pretence on which they rely for securing
the electoral vote of that state, when il
says:
In no state in the union is there as lit
tie excuse for raising the cry of Democrat
ic fraud. The state officers are Republi-
cans; the election laws were framed by
Republicans; the majority of managers
and commissioners of election, at every
polling place and in every county, are
Republicans; the counties in which the
Republicans saw that their accustomed
maiorities were about to become minorities
were heavily garriSoned with United
States troops; the Democratic leaders in
several counties were arrested, just before
the election, on frivolous charges; the negro
militia were allowed to attend the polls
with loaded rifles in their hands. Nothing
that long experience in election rascalities
could suggest was left undone. The pow
ers Of the federal and the state govern
ments were thrown with what seemed
resistless force against the Democracy. By
their own acts the Republicans are stopped
from making the plea that the election il
South Carolina was carried by fraud or
the part of the Democrats! The Republi
cans pretended to unprecedented fraud anC
intimidation. In the counties which the
Democrats have carried, the Republican!
did whatever was necessary to insure wha
they call fair election. The counties
that the Republicans carry are those where
the Democratic voters were not so pro
tected as to be able to vote in freedom and
in peace. It is too late for the Republi
cans to cry outl They are barred, /!
their own conduct, from seriously assertin!
that they were defrauded by either intimi
dation or repeating, while the Democrat
can and will prove that the Republican
carried Charleston. Beaufort and Darling

timldation. Wade Hampton is electet

Tilden ran ahead of his ticket almost
everywhere, except in such states as South
Carolina, where the success of the local
ticket was regarded as of more consequence

dent In New York city Tilden had 49,

mayor, had but 11O,51I, and Robinson,

interesting:
New YORK Nov. l4.-There never was
any reason to doubt the election of Tilden.
The daring attempt of the New York
Times and Republican national committee
to sieze the votes of the three states by
fraud has appalled, the respectable Repub-
llcans of the north, and they shrink with
horror from the crime and its fatal conse.

The rooms now occupied by the city council
are unsuitable and the entrance to them is
very bad. The ARGUS cautioned the
council against leaving the excellent quar-
tiers in Harper's Block, but its advice was
not needed, although the alderman most
active in causing the removal soon acknowl-
edged his mistake. Economy was one
argument used in favor of moving, but
they now find that the expense of burn
ing gas to light the dark entrance makes
the cost equal to the old place, where they
had fine, wide, light entrance, and an
elegant room, profusely lighted with large
windows on the east and south.
But it is too late to recover that room in
Harper's Block, and now it IS proposed
to move into Spencer & Robinson's new
block. A committee of the council was
appointed to examine the room and re-
port to the council. The committee re-
ported in favor of moving but no action
was taken on the report.
Yesterday we took look at the room.
1t is large room, 43 by 20 feet, over
Coss's Wholesale boot and shoe store, and
fronting on Illinois street. The entrance
| is excellent-the wide stairway on 18th
street, leading to Masonic Temple. 1t is
plain. strait, easy entrance, and up only
one fight of stairs. The room can be haG
for 5000 a year including warming by
steam. The entrance is greatly preferabl,
to the one now used; the Groom is larger thar
both rooms now used, and with a railin,
would make fine audience room, and
pleasant room for business. The expens
to the city would probably be less thai
now, when the bills for extra gas, for fuel
and for rent are aggregated. 1t would b
much pleasanter for the council, and fo
the clerk, TO do business in.-and tn
people who visit it would find it great
, preferable; and the comfort and cor
venience of the people who have bushes
with the city certainly ought to be cor
suited. The expense to the city would be n
greater than now, and probably not as mucf
And the room would answer all purpose
of the city until the people get ready t
erect their new city hall on Union Square
The council made an unwise move whe
they left Harper's Block They woul
1 make a wise one to secure the exceller
e quarters now offered.
