The reign of Abdul Aziz was clouded
at the outset with serious trouble in
Montenegro. A sort of guerrilla warfare
was carried on for a long time, with vary
ing success. Occasionally peace would
be patched up, but the fire would again
burst out with all the more fury for being
temporarily smothered. Perhaps the new
Porte will grant satisfactory terms to the
Sclavc Christian subjects of that and kim
bred parts of tine Empire, but probably
not The deposed sovereign owed his
unpopularity quite as much to his lack OF
zeal tor the Moslem faith as to his vices.
The Sofas, so often mentioned in Eastern
dispatches nowadays, are tanatical devo-
tees of Mohammed. They evidently hope
to find in the new Sultan champion of
IsIamism in its most intolerant type. He
may disappont them. If he doss, he may
expect trouble at home; if he does not,
the Foreign Powers will make it hot for
him. His position is anything but agree
able in its outlook.

country. Gradually the savagcry of ma
tons is being eliminated, or held in
check. The rcvolutionists bided their
time and delayed the enforcement of their
demand until Abdul Aziz was so hedged

The Revolution in Turkey.

On the 25th of June, 1861, Abdul Med
jid died, and was succeeded upon the
throne of the Ottoman Empire by his
brother, Abdul Aziz, who was 6eposed
night before last, and compelled 10 abdi-
cate in favor of his predecessors son.
When that reign of fifteen years duration
began, this country was in the first agony
OF civil war. Just one month later the
first battle of Bull Run was fought. Our
people were quite too busy with domestic
affairs to pay any heed to the change in
far-away Turkey. But, as matter of
fact, the change was heralded as an earnest
OF better government. Abdul Aziz,"
wrote an essayist, few months later,
"has commenced decided retrenchment,
and gives promise of being more eff
clent ruler than his predecessor" Ex-
perience has shown that hope to have
been lllusory. A more inefficient and
prodigal ruler never sat upon throne.
lie cared for nothing but his managery
and his seraglio. If be had any spare
cash he put it into iron clads more orna-
mental than useful. The disappointment
in his case suggests approximations that
the new Sultan, who bears the same name
as his father did will prove no improve
ment upon his uncle, notwithstanding the
promises of his dawn.

Caught in His Own Trap.

THOMAS WAY is woodchopper in the
Sierra Nevada. His friends hereaway, if
he have any, will be interested in the fol-
lowing adventure of which he is the hero.
A party of hunters from Virginia City
were camping in the mountains about
fcrty miles from town, and long distance
from any permanent human habitaton
whatever. One day, towards evening
and mile or two from camp one of the
party shot at deer. The wounded ami
NAL ran up deep and gloomy canon
pursued by the hunters. They gave up
deer anyhow, and not worth the labori-
Gus tramp through the deep snow thathad
fallen a few days previously. Stopping
with the intention of retraclng their steps
they heard what sounded like human
cry OF distress. They listened and the
cry was repeated. Then they shouted and
received an answering shout 1t was
human without doubt. But it might be
an Indian decoy and they were not strong
enough to go into an Indian war, and
piteousiy for assistance. 1t was weak and
tremulOus, but had in it tone of despera-
ton. They finally resolved to follow the
sound and shouted again to make sure of
the direction. Again the distressed voice
came in answer: Don't go away and
leave me! Come and get me out, for
I'm caught and starving" This appeal
moved them. They plodded their way
up the canon, and guided by the voice at
intervals they discovered what appeared
to be a small cabin built of logs, but with
out windows OF doors There was man
in it, and the man said it was bear trap

above stated; he was woodchopper in

door of the heaviest logs-about five feet
high and four feet wide. The door slides

trigger on the inside. A sheep is killed
and hung to the trigger for bait, and the
trap is ready for bears. Way had COM

This is often serious question with the
invalid. He finds the market flooded with
proprietary medicines, scores of which arc
recommended as certain cures for his pecui-
lar aimcnt. He reads the papers, circulars,
and almanacs, and finds each sustained by
plausible arguments setting forth its virtues
and specific action. The recommendations
are as strong for one as for another The
cures claimed to have been wrought by one
are as wonderful as those claimed to have
been wrought by another. In his pcrplcXity
and dOubt, the sufferer is sometimes led to
reject ALL But it should be borne in mind
that this condition of things is one that can
not be rcmCdicd. In Il land where all are Tree,
the good-thc truly valuablc-must come
into competition with the vile and worth
less, and must he brought to publ, notice
by the same inStrumcntality, which is TuVtr-

to be, is to try it The test of pudding

prcsumptivc evidence in favor of one RENE
dy than there is in favor of another, and
this should be allowed its due weight. A
due regard to this may save Il vast amount
of experimenting and Il useless outlay Of
money. As prcsumptivc evidence in favor
of Dr.. Picrcc'S Family Medicines, the
Proprietor desires to say, that they are
