The saIonica Outrage.

PARIS, May 9.-From details Of the
outrage at Salonica, Il appears that the
U. s. Consul interfered for the, protee.
ton Of a Greek girl and conducted her
to the consulate in bis carriage. An ex-
cited mob thereupon surrounded the con-
sulate and the French and German Con-
suls, who were brothers-in-law, and re-
lated by marriage to the American Con.
sui, believing him 10 be indanger proceed
ed TO his assistance, and on the way were

the Governor Of the state Of affairs and
he sent troops to the relief Of the Ameri-
can consulate, which was besieged by the
rabble.

the girl under his protection. While he
was seeking for information as TO her na-
tionality the German and French Consuls
were separately informed that woman

been dragged into a mosque. They con-
Sequently repaired to the mosque, where

IT is an open question whether the
Clarksburg Convention should appoint
Presidential Electors. 1t strikes US that
it would be better to leave these appoint
ments until after the Cincinnati nomina.
tions are made-in other words, until
the next Convention, which Convention
will be held in abundant time to afford
the electors all the stump speaking they
desire. Much may depend on the Cincin-
natl nominations as to the men who
should be chosen. Another considers
ton is the fact that the next Convention
will be larger body, and will naturally
desire to have, as far as possible, control
Of the campaign. .r. .,r q

It is related of Curran, the famous
Irish orator and wit. that he was one
evening sitting in box at the French
Opera, between an Irish noblewoman,
whom he had accompanied there, and a
very young French lady. The ladies
soon manifested strong desire to con-
verse, but neither Of them knew word
of the others language. Curran, of
course, volunteered to interpret, OR, in
his own words, ''to be the carrier of
their thoughts, and accountable for
their safe delivery" They went
at it at once, with all the ardor
and zest of the Irish and French nature
combined; but their Interpreter took the
liberty of substituting his own thoughts
for theirs, and instead of remarks upon
the dresses and play he introduced SO
many frelyturned compliments that
the two ladies soon became completely
facinated with each other. At last
their enthusiasm becoming sufficiently
great the willy interpreter, in con
veying some very innocent ques
tons from his countrywonan, asked
the French lady eff she would
favor her with a kiss Instantly
springing across the orator, she imprint
ed kiss on each cheek of the Irish
lady, who was amazed at her sudden at
tack, and often afterwards asked Mr..
Curran, ssWhat in the world could that
French girl have meant by such con-
duct in such placer He never re-
vealed the secret, and the Irish lady al
ways thought French girls were very
ardent and sudden in their attachments.
