CORRESPONDENCE.

Ed. Manipulating had occasion

took some observations, which | will

Although having been told to the
contrary, l found quite number of
human beings still inhabiting the
pretty and one furnishing little ham,
of Pioneer. These few Industrious
and persevering people stick and hang
tn their favorite hills as if determined
to fight it out on that line. We were
informed that the burg contained a
hotel, which we soon found. 1t is
kept by Mr.. Garraty. We were well
cared for by the numerous and amia-
BILE young ladies who appeared to be
everywhere stationed about the prem
ises; and among them we noticed Miss
Jennie Abingdon, who is generalissimo
of the SCHOLARSHIP brigade at that
place. My partner said he saw seven
teen girls waiting on the tables, but
he is not reliable authority. He got
excited, he did, and could not tell
whether he paid fifty cents or one dol
lar for his dinner; and, furthermore,
left without his hat, which /, being
more brave, had to return for, and
imagine my disgust on returning TO
him to find him freed up a lamp post
by eleven dogs.
We next went to Colonel Steven.

Sifers and George Stuck busily en-

invention of their own, to haul rocks
out of the claims. We noticed them
creeping around it very carefully, and
it being but lightly moore,l we did not

good mechanics they will undoubtedly

wants were supplied in good style.

will remember that politics has not been

Gov. Hendricks does not seem to enjoy the
political situation. lie tells a San francisco
interviewer, with much earnestness, +" that
there IS growing Soltiment that Hayes Is
little better than an usLrper. that he was not
elected to the Presidency, anu hat his at
tempt to prOpitiate the Democracy by adopt
lug course which Mr.. Tilden might have
followed in his treatment of Southern inter-
ests, will not be successful.
The appointment of George H. Butler,
nephew of Gen. Butler, as special agent of
the pOstofhce department, is not precisely in
harmony with civil service reform principles.
Butler is notorious personal and political
hummer.
Washington dispatches say that the proc
lamation for the extra session of Congress
will be issued on Friday and that Senator
Edmunds expresses an opinion that the ses-
sion will be very long one unless the
leaders on both sides agree previously to pass

PERSONAL AND POLITICAL.

Senator Edmunds, since his return from
Florida, says he will defend the administra-
tion if attacked
Gen. Hawley takes a very hopeful view of
tho future in Louisiana, and all accounts
agree that an era of peace and gOod-feeling
has set in:
Georgia voted, on Tuesday, on constitu-
tional amendment rcpudiating certain State
bonds to the amount of about eight million
dollars, which were issued under the cor
rupt Bullock regime. No doubt there was
great corruption.
General Devens probab biy had no idea
what good thing he was saying when he
remarked, when Mr.. Phillips calls you
liar, villain and scoundrel, he merely
means that he does not agree with you"
Ben. Wade has published another letter,
stating that the story of an alleged conspira-
cy formed by Republicans in Congress to
depose Lincoln and put either Fremont or
himself in his place as dictator, is malig-
nant falsehood. He also says that he stands
by his recent letter regarding the President,
and exonerates Mr.. Painter from all blame
for its publication.

THE Ottoman Empire in Europe, Asia and
Africa, in its relations with other powers
is a single State but within It's own limits
it is an assembage Of delendencies with
little common relation to ono another, and
united only by more or less complete com
mon dependence upon the Sublime Porte
This would be condition unfavorable to el-
fcienE administration by the Sultan, even if
the sO-ealled Ottoman Empire were left un-
disturbed by outside influences. But it is
not. While the provinces are in great part
dependencies of the empire, the empire II
self has gradually become in some sort de-
pendency upon the great powers, as they are
called. The ambassadors of these powers resid-
insat Constantinople are perpetlally interfer-
ring, and Turkey has admitted their right TO
interfere, in the internal administration of
the empire, and this generally with no com
mon object at all, but at cross purposes. To
one ambassador or another some disappoint
ed or rebelliOus Turkish province or faction
IS constantly appealing for aid or protection.
The Greek Church looks to the Russian Am
bassador the Roman Church in one part Of
the empire to the French and in another to
the Austrians. Such condition of things
would make the administration of Justice,
as we understand justice, almost impossible
by any ruler. Mussulman judges cannot Re
expected to believe Christian witnesses where
co-religionist of their own is concerned
Roman Catholic judges Hesitate to credit
Greek witnesses in similar circumstances
Greek judges do not implicitly rely on cyl
dence given by Roman Catholics while
Protestants half-suspect Mussulmans, Greeks
and Roman Catholics. What Judicial le-
form, civil service reform, or security for life,
liberty and property, could England work
out of such material.

Again We all have our little ills that We
magnify. Burton would have us think of
the foxes, who, when they were going about
lamenting the loss of their tails, which they
had sacrificed to temporary caprice of
fashion, were rcproyed by the moiewarp or
mole, "Why this fuss; look at me, am
blind" There are certain evils and passions
whose very names or familiar surnames show
them to be deadly enemies to health, and
diligently to be stunned. "Tumuluous
Strife, "cruel Revenge" "heartburning
Hate, "grcen or gnawing Jealousy" wild
Despair" "sharp Remorse." They have
a scared track in the brain, and they mar
the features, for every expression is said to
leave its stamp on the face.

Boss TwKED's TAN BATH-The Boss has

baths consist of putting aquantity of Ger

hotter from time to time, until the patient
sweats himself almost dry. To give material
for perspiratlOn, the victim drinks nearly a

How TO BE GESTLEAIAN.-W want few
private words with the boys. The truth is
we have a great idea of boys. We used to
think men were made OF boys. We begin to
think now that these were old-fhshioned no
tions-that they are all out OF date We
look around and see a great many persons
grown up, with mems clothes on, who are
called men. But they act and behave so that
We feel certain that they were never made
ont Of boys. If they had been they would
know how TO behave better. Where they
came from we do not know. But what We
wish to put into the ears of the boys is this
be gentlemen. In this country every boy
may grow up to be gentleman if he will. 1t
is mol necessary that he should become rich
and most boys think it is nor is it neces-
sary that he shonld become a great scholar,
nor that he should become distinguished
man.
Bnt some impatient ones are asking,
How can We sccome gentlemen, How can
boy 90 about making himself one2 Can he
work for it," Yes, he can. And the harder
he works in the right way the better Can he
study for ii, Yes, he can. But he must study
with his eyes and his ears; Reading books
and NEWSPAPERS is not enough He must
think ana feel as well as speak aud act. Can
he buy it? No, he cannot Money will buy
a great many things but it will not buy
what makes a gentleman. II you have mon
ey, you can 90 to n shop and buy clothes.
But hat, coat, pants and boots, do not make
a gentleman. They make Top, and some
times they come near making a fool. Money
will buy dogs and horses, but how many dogs
and horses do You think 1T Will take to make
gentleman Let no boy, therefore, think

ADMIRAL PORTER, who talks good deal,
Is credited with the remark that ''One sin
gle vessel of the English navy could whip
everything we have got and that our navy
SIS good for nothing" This because We
have no iron elads like the BLACK Prince"
of the British navy. But Just at this june
ture, comes over the water the report Of Il
lecture by Mr.. f. j. Reed, the highest au-
thority on the construction of vessels in the
British navy, in which he expressed the
highest respect for the torpedo, as developed
in this country, condemned big iron-elads,
and spoke in favor of smaller, faster and
handler vessels He still insists on iron,
and no vessels are now built Of wood for the
British navy. America has not built an iron
clad for ten years, but she has revolution
lied the naval architecture Of the world in
that time by raising the torpedo into re-
spectacle engine Of naval warfare.
