A War Cloud in the East.

The great powers are sending power
full fleets to the Mediterranean in antici-
patton of serious complications growing
out of the trouble in Turkey. England
will be represented by large squadron,
and the Duke of Edinburgh has sailed
from Spithead for Greek waters in COM
mand of one of the finest ironclads of
her majesty's navy. Germany has four
ships of war en- voyage for the East, and
France is already represented in "the
tideless Hgean" by a considerable
naval force. Notwithstanding the as
surances that are daily exchanged by
European diplomatistsregardinga peace
full settlement of the Turkish difficulty,
the assemblage of fleets and the quiet
mobilization of armies leads us to think
that "villainous saltpeter 3" will have to
be called into requisition after all, and
that guns instead of goosequills will
solve the problem.

Couldn't Fool Her.

A stout, rudy faced woman, with a
basket on her arm, bought some calico
in Troy store the other day, and re-
ceived in change a fifty cent silver
piece. She pitched it up, turned it
over, looked at it curiously, and laying
it back on the counter, asked "Phat
d yes call that2"
"That's a fifty cent piece, madam, +"
replied the polite clerk, who thought the
customer was making "game " of him.
"Phat is it y say?" said the old
woman, as she took up the coin and held
it in the palm of her hand in the light.

"Ay-ahl Silver is it, ye tell me 9'
Certainly, madam" said the clerk,
recovering himself, and sounding the
coin on the counter. "That's the
genuine silver just being circulated by
the government, you know"
"In have none of it'll" said the
woman, decidedly, as she showed the
silver piece back. "Give me the hon.

A Funny New York COurtship.,

A savings bank cashier of New York
city is now happy husband. Only q
few months ago he was the engaged
of q fascinating widow ihis present
wife), who is well known in literary
circles, and an attendant of the Sorosis
reunions. During the engagement, an
event occurred which made it necessary
for the widow to change the Investment
of some of her funds. Naturally, she
sought the advice of her intended hus-
band. He has always had q horror OF
seeming to marry woman for her
money, and frankly said to her on this
occasion that, as they were shortly to be
married and he had sufficient money
for both, she had better expend her
funds in any way that might please her.
She disclaimed any desire to do SO, and
told him that the money had been left
to her by her first husband, and she did
not care to expend it foolishly. At last
happy thoughtoccurred to the cashier,
and he mentioned it to the widow. AS
the money came from her first husband,
why not expond it in erecting hand
some monument to his memory. She
eagerly adopted the suggestion, and to-
gether they began to plan how it should
be done. The next day several marble
workers were requested to send in de.
signs for monument. The cashier
actually wrote the epitaph, praising the
virtues of the deceased. The intention
was to have the monument completed
before the marriage, but unforeseen de
lays prevented. The cashier has taker
entire charge of the work, and doubtless
the wife loves him all the more for hi;
disinterestedness.

A Verdict i'm Advance.

One of the jurors summoned in the
Monroe case in the criminal court in
San Francisco was Robert Cohen, o
bluff Englishman. He was asked if he
had any opinion about the case, and he
replit d that he was "down on man
who would beat woman, anyhow, and
that he would leave the house afore he
would do it." Upon it being explained
to him that it was only intended to as
certain whether he could give the de-
PENDANT fair trial, he blurted out
"Well, l believe him guilty, anyhow
any man who would beat - You are
excused" said the Judge.

Hardening the Infants.

In Egypt, correspondent writes,
among the peasants, premature old age
comes on at forty, and the population is
kept down by terrible infant mortality.
Out of the 140, 900 annual deaths, so, 900
were of infant children. 1t has been
calculated that three out of every five
that are born die before the age of two.
For those that survive an old Egyptian
custom that is still practiced is most
symbolical of their future. The child is
put into o sieve and rolled about to the
beating of drums. 1t is in order to
harden him" say the people.

A Disagreeable Position.

Men armed with iron claws fight like
wild beasts in Baroda, India, the king
offering prizes and witnessing the brut-
ish contests. They are first intoxicated
with bhang, an infusion of hemp and
opium, to inspire them with sufficient
courage. Frenzied and singing, they
rush at each other, striking, wrestling,
and using the iron claws, until one OF
the other is wounded beyond further
fighting. Rousselet, in his "Travels
in India" describes contest in which
one gladiator showed symptoms OF
fright and desire to run away, and the
other turned to the king to know
whether he should relent. "Strike p
the king shouted, and the head of the
defeated fellow was soon torn and bleed,

Something that Concerns Everybody.

Among the crowd Of proprietary medicines
that seek acceptance from the public through
the advertising columns of the press, there is
now and then one which deserves the recon-
mendation OF the editorial fraternity. In such
instances, and in no other, we feel at liberty,
and in fact deem it almost a duly, to express
favorable opinion of the article. We have
been asked repeatedly if Hales Honey Of
Ho ehound and Tar was really a specific for
coughs and colds, and have had no hesitation
in giving an affirmative reply. What we have
said privatey to friends and acquaintance,
there can be no improperly in reiterating in
who has taken it as a remedy for ailments OF
the throat and lungs, or has observed it's effect
on others in cases of this nature can enter
tain any doubt of its curative power. Hart
