NLU (O.HILii y lIOND ~ mr. LI'''
The suppressed interests which lie nearest
to. and are most affected by, the struggle be-
tween Seryia aud Turkey, are fast pushing
toward the light. The intelligence received
during the last three days indicates, more than
ANYTHING else, tho continuance of a greater
excitement than is manifest upon the surface
of things, and the approaching prominence of
several new elements. When Austria hints at
her desire to annex part of Bosnia she yio-
lates the discretion imposed upon her by the
generally accepted policy. When England
says she will assist in the paciiication of the
provinces "whenever it becomes necessary"
she is preparing for the REIMBURSEMENT OF non
Intervention. When Turkey again changes
her ruler, and Issues paper money to pay her
war expenses, she betrays a combined ombar-
rassmcnt and weakness which will make it
hard for Greece and Roumania to reject their
opportunity.
Discarding all mere rumors, the situation at
present is substantially this: 1. Montenegro

The history of Our great impeachment trials is a
history of successive failures impeachment does
not seem to impeach The acquittal Of Gen. Belknap
initiates SO far as the mere result is concerned, the
precedent set when John Randolph brought about
the impeachment of Samuel Chase, slgner OF the
Declaration of independence and Judge OF the
United States Supreme Court, who was acquitted by
majority vote on five of the eight charges and re-
newedwhen President Johnson escaped conviction
by single vote. Both, however, held the Offices IN
which the alleged oflenses had been committed at
the time of their impeachment and both were ac-
quilted on a direct vote on The question OF guilt or
innocence. Mr. Bolknap confessed his crime IN
tears and abasemcnt before the trial, and made III
reality no attempt defend himself during Its pro-
gress. except by technical objections, one OF which
has saved him from the last and deepest disgrace
that can befal an American citizen.

GATHERING CoCOANUTs IN CEYLON.
-Cocoanut forests of thousands Of acres
are spread over the plain back Of Gale.
The trees run up, without knot or limb,
from thirty to eighty feet to the branches
that bear the fruit. A matured tree is only
about foot to foot and half in circum-
ference at the base, and it maintains this
size nearly all the way up. How is the
fruit gathered at such height? The coolies
climb these trees like squirrels; they place
a rope around the legs near the ankles so
as to hold them in position around the
tree, and then, without spur or other arti-
fetal help, they climb up with astonishing
celebrity, gather the fruit, and drop it on
the ground. A single tree produces about
dozen cocoanuts. and the coolie harvest
er is allowed one for gathering the fruit of
each tree. These cocoanut forests are
really beautiful, presenting symmetrical
growth, graceful proportions, and chalm-
ing shade. The fruit itself, with the en-
closed milk, affords healthful food and
cooling drink. II is source Of consider
able revenue from export; the fibre of the
shell is largely utilized for the manufacture
Of cloth and rope, Next tn coffee, the CO.
coanut is the most valuable and important
product of this island.

A DRESS OF MARTHA WASHINGTON IS
DAY.-A dress of Martha Washington s
day, which Rose Eytinge wears in a new
centennial drama she will shortly 'star''
with, is thus described by Celia Logan:
1t is an heirloom, having belonged to
an ancestress who lived in Washington IS
day, and it was worn to Martha's recep-
tions. The satin slip, as it was then called,
Or, as we should say, underskirt, was white,
but it is now of rich cream color at night;
in daytime it shows the discoloration Of
age. The slip is so narrow that it is won
der how any woman ever walked with ease
in it. Around the bottom is a simple row
of very costly lace. of the kind known as
Honiton. The over-dress is an India satin,
Turkey" red, as our ancestors had it, It
is cut close othe form with few gathers
at the back-a modern tie-back is nothing
to it; the queer old waist terminates just
below the bust. It is rather diamond
shaped than square in the neck, with a fall
of white lace, with which also the skirt of
the "Turkeyo is trimmed. The shoes are
most singular. It seems as if no woman
ever could have walked in them, but the
soles show that they have been worn. They
are of white satin, with the toe part sharp
ened almost to point, while the heel is
placed in. the centre of the slipper; the heel
is about two inches high, and at the end
resembles the end of an inverted clay pipe.
Miss Eytinge thinks she will not be able to
wear these centennial shoes. Some of the
incidents in the life of her ancestress have
been woven into the play.

To GET OUT OF DEBT.-To a young
man in debt, Benjamin Franklin gave the
following advice: Make full estimate of
all you owe, and of all that is owing to
you. Reduce the same to note. AS fast
as you collect, pay over to those you owe.
IT you cannot, renew your note every year,
and get the best security you can. Go to
business diligently, and be Industrious
waste no idle moments !; be very economi-
cal in all things; discard all pride; be
faithful in your duty to God, by regular
and hearty prayer morning and night; at
tend church meeting regularly every Sun
day; and do unto all men as you would
that they should do unto you. If you are
too needy in circumstances to give to the
poor, do whatever else is in your power to
do cheerfully but if you can, help the poor
and unfortunate. Pursue this course dill
gently and sincerely for seven years, and
If you are not happy, comfortable and in
dependent in your circumstances, come to
me and will pay your debts.

Spelling HIS JoKEs.-In a letter fror

Spelling His JoKEs.-In letter from
England, John Paul writes as follows:
Contemporaneous judgments are seldom
right; posterity is the court of appeals that
finally sits on regulations. Some of the
poets we have been interviewing were held
in their day to outrank Shakespeare, who
now sits on a shelf so high that even Bou-
cicault looks up, and acknowledges pow
erful rival. And how good it is that this
is so. Were the exalted place that I am
finally to occupy in the worlds estimate
known to me now, pride might puff me up,
and make me more unbearable even than 1
am; and that would be bad. Had Shakes
peare known how big he really was, there ID
have been no living with him. The edi-
tors of his day probably altered his MS,
and spoiled some of his best Jokes, just as
they do mine, and he bore it all good-na-
turedly, as L do.

WASHINGTON IN THE NURSERY.-The
figure of Washington, as it stands IN his
tory, is so august that we are indisposed to
think that the real Washington was a man.
with all the sympathies and passions that
pertain to q man. There are, however, a
few anecdotes which make him real to us,
by bringing him nearer to the level of Or
binary humanity. Such one is told in
the Springfield Republican" by a descend
ant of Chief Justice Ellsworth, sof Connec-
ton, one of Washington's intimate friends.
Washington once dned with the Chief
Justice at his residence in Windsor. The
correspondent writes:
During that visit, Gen. Washington ap-
peared in novel and interesting scene.
