CoNsrANrINorPE, Feb 10.-TLe circular of the
Porte on the failure of tho Conference, dated
January 25, Of or reospituistpg tho arguments
justifying rejection Of the proposals Of the
power, comments in very contemptuous tone on
the assertion mad by Gen. tgnstietf at the final
sitting Of the Conference. that the Porte, by lis
action, had virtually abrogated the treaty Of
Paris
The Porte declares nothing would have been
easier for the Turkish delegates, if they had con-
sdered such course expedient, than to show
that Gen. Ignatief's assertion was defective both
in form and substance. The delegates, however,
remained Silent, as Gen. Ignati frs remarks were
irrelevant to the object of the conference.
The European delegates, by their silence, gave
an uneguivoc sign VI astonishment at the Ian.
guage IN which Gen. Ignatietf pretended to ex-
press the views OF the whole conference.

How Petroleum is Formed.

The formation Of petroleum has been
explained by Mr.. FL. Byasson upon ex-
perimental grounds, as follows: If a
mixture of vapor OF water, carbonic acid
and sulphureted hydrogen be made to
act upon iron heated to white heat in
an iron tube, certain quantity of
liquid carburets will be formed. This mix
ture of carburets is comparable to petro-
leum. The formation of petroleum can
thus be naturally explained by the ac-
tion of chemical forces. The water Of
the sea, penetrating into the cavities of
the terrestrial crust, carries with it nu-
merous materials, and especially marine
limestone. If the subterranean cavity
permits these new products to penetrate
to a depth where the temperature is
sufficiently high, in contact with metallic
substances, such as iron or its sulphurets,
we have a formation of carburets. These
bodies will form part of the gases whose
expansive force causes earthquakes. vol
canic eruptions, etc. Petroleum is al
ways found in the neighborhood of vol
canic regions or long mountain chain.
In general it will be modified in it's
properties by causes acting after its for
nation, such as partial distillation, etc.
Petroleum deposits will always be ac-
companied by salt water or rock salt.
Often, and especially where the deposit
is among hard and compact rocks, it will
be accompanied by gas, such as hydro
gen, sulphureted hydrogen, carbonic
acid, etc.

The Music Of the Soul.

John b. Cough, in lecture, said he
was in church in Strange city once,
and the sexton showed into the same
pew another person whose looks Impress
ed Mr.. Cough unfavorably. The
stranger had face like mottled soap;
his face twitched as if sheet of light
ming had run all over it, and every now
and then his lips would twist and give
utterance to a strange spasmodic sound.
l got as far away from him as l could.
Presently the hymn was given out, and
the congregation rose to sing:
Just as am, without one plea,
But that thy blood was shed for me.
I saw that the man knew the hymn, and
said to myself "He can't be SO dis
agreeable, after all" I got nearer. He
would sing. 1t was awful; positively
awful. never heard anything like it.
And occasionally he would make that
strange noise with his lips. Then he'd
commence again and sing faster to catch
up with the other singers, and perhaps
he'd run ahead. They came to the next
verse. He'd forgotten the first line, and
while the organist was performing the
lubClluItC, uS ltducu UONdlu IlS llll
whispered "Would you be kind
enough to give me the first line of the
next verse 2" I did so:
Just as 1 am; posr, wretched, blind
"That's ii" said he, "I am blind-God
help me and the tears came running
down his face and the tear lids quivered,
"and 1 am wretched-and I am para
lytic." And then he tried to sing:
Just as 1 am; poor, wretched, blind.
At that. moment it seemed to me that I
never heard Beethoven symphony in
my life with as much music in it as in
that hymn sung by that poor man,
whom Christianity had made happy in
his lot.

Hereditary Badness.

In Harrison township, Wisconsin, n
few miles from Platteville, reside fami-
ly who have been singularly afflicted.
Some twenty years ago VIM. Steinhoff,
with young wife, came from Germany
and settled near Platteville.
A year OF two afterward son was
born to them, but much to their sorrow
the child was perfectly bald. Months
passed away, but the boys head remain
ed without a vestige of hair. The pa
rents feared that their child would con-
tinue bald, and were much grieved at the
thought.
Finally they wrote to friends in Ger
many narrating the singular circum-
stance. An answer was returned stating
that several of the ancestors of one of the
parents had been afflicted in a similar
manner, but that the hair had grown out
before they reached maturity.
This gave the parents some hope that
their child's badness would not be per-
mancns. Since then eleven children
have been born to them, ten of whom
are still living. They now have eleven
children, five of whom, three girls and
two boys, are perfectly bald. The oldest
is now grown man, and his singular
affliction is great annoyance to him.

A Cure for Diphtheria.

DR.. Chenery, of Boston, has lately
discovered that hyposulphite of soda is
the specific remedy against diphtheria-
that so much dreaded ailment. which of
late years has carried off many valuable
lives. He reports very large number
OF cases Obs within his own practice)
eaved by the use of this remedy. The
dose OF the hyposulphite is from five to
fifteen grains or more in syrup, every
two to four hours, according to age and
circumstances. It can do no harm, but
If too much is given it will purge as
much as the patient can bear without
purging is a good rule in the severer
cases. The solution or mixture can be
used in doses of five drops to half a
drachm in milk. The amount for thor
ough stimulation is greater than can be
taken in water. The doctor usually
gives it in such doses as can be easily
taken in milk, using milk besides as q
food for small children. One fact, how.
ever needs to be borne in mind, namely,
the hyposulphite prevents the digestion
of milk and it should be given in less
than an hour after taking the medicine
They may be used alternately, however
without interference, in sufficiently fire.

A Self-Excused Murderer.

The Hartford COurant contains the
following Twenty-Five years ago young
man III New Haven was engaged to marry
young woman there. For some reason
she transferred her promise to marry, if
not her affections, to another person.
The first suitor, who was respectable
mechanic, disappfoved of the match and
declared that his rival was a disreputable
person who would lead his atfianced a
wretched life, and that while he could
surrender her himself, he would rather
she should die than marry that man.
Accordingly; and as he said solely to save
her from the awful fate Of such degrad-
ing marriage, he killed the girl. He did
not attempt to conceal his deed he JUS
titled it, and regarded himself as the
savior Of the girls happiness. He was
tried for murder, and acquitted on the
the ground of insanity, although he
stotitly denied that he was insane, and
said that he had acted upon his cool con-
viction of what was best for the girl, and
was ready to suffer the penalty of the
law for the homicide. Acquitted, he
was remanded to the county Jail by the
court he remained there seven or eight
years, all the time protesting that he was
in his right mind, and that the State
should either hang him for murder or re-
lease him. He was then transferred to the
State prison at Wethersfeld, by what
authority it does not appear, under no
sentence. There he has remained until
this day, i'll the same state of mind, ap-
parently rational on all subjects except
that he insists that he had right to kill
the girl to save her from dishonor and
that if the State thought otherwise it
should have punished him as murderer
This is the story Of Willard Clarke, who
has now petitioned the Assembly to re-
move him from the State prison to the
insane asylum at Middletown.

Pidget's Naughtiness.

After tea the minister called with his
wife, a lively, pleasant lady, who in
sisted upon seeing the younger mem
bers of the family. Susie, who was
rather difident, sat very quietly in cor
ner, but Pidget appeared quite at her
ease, and her "cute" replies to the
lady's funny questions were regarded as
evidence of surprising smartness by her
admiring brothers and sisters. But how
did the blood seem suddenly to freeze in
Johnny's veins as Pidget, springing
into the minister's lap, remarked with
gravity:
"Your clothes are all tared up"
care they?" inquired that gentleman,
smiling.
You're fool, " replied Pidget, good
naturedly.
"Pidget," said mamma, in very Sc
we're tone.
But the spirit of mischief seemed to
have taken possession of the little lady,
and she refused to be controlled.
you're two fools !'' she cried, merrily.
"You're free, four, ten, six fools !"
"Pidget," said Horace, sternly, eff
you can't behave yourself, you'd better
go to bed"
Poor Pidget In all her short life she
had never before been spoken to in such
tone. She glanced pitifully at Hor-
ace. His face was forbidden, almost
angry. Susie looked positively horror
stricken, and Johnny, who recognized in
himself the unwilling cause of the trou-
BILE, sat with downcast eyes and crimson
cheeks. The child gazed for moment
into the silent, reproachful faces. The
sight was too much for the tender little
heart. ct dm't-love-n
you," she sobbed, throwing herself into
her mothers arms. "I-don't-love-
the-min 'ster, nor-nobody. [ want
to-go-to-bed."
Horace took her up, his anger melting
away like morning mist, as he held his
wee sister in his arms.
"Poor pussy cat," said he, tenderly;
"brother was too bad to scold her. She
didn't mean to, did she ?"
"No. Didn't mean to what ?" asked
Pidget, innocently.
"She doesn't even know what she has
done" said Horace to himself, "she is
such a little goose. 'Twon't do to say
all sorts of things before her. We shall
have to look OUT" and he kissed the
rosy, quivering lips.
Johnny, meanwhile was suffering
small agonies below stairs. He could
not bear to have Pidget blamed for
what he knew was, in a great measure,
his own fault He would like to tell the
minister SO, but his bashful little tongue
refused to perform the Office. Once,
twice, he essayed to speak, but in vain.
The guests had risen to go, but fingered
for the last few pleasant words. Johnny
felt that his chance was slipping from
him. It must be now or never.
"Twasn't her fault, twas mine"
"What do you mean, my son?" asked
his mother, surprised at such an out
burst.
"Why, Pidget; [ called her an April
fool this morning. You know she didn't
know any better"
I am sure the minister understood
Just what he meant. AS for his wife she
looked with new interest into the
blushing, boyish face, and then, greatly
to his surprise, and somewhat I think,
to her own, she stopped and kissed him.

The Dreamland Sea,

What matter, though my pilgrim feet
May never press the strangers land
Or wander lone where wild waves beat
With ceaseless moan on oceans strand?
For me expands a lovelier deep,
Whose isles in visioned beauty sleep,
And never ocean waves could be
So bright as thine, fair dreamland sea.
My castle crowns the boldest steep,
BY warning winds and waters SCARED,
That seaward leans, and DER the deep
Keeps evermore unceasing ward.
Full freighted, with their wings of snow,
The white ships come, the white ships go,
While in the shade of cliff and towers
1 dream away the gliding hours
With names, foam flecked and tossing free,
The waves, wild coursers of.the sea,
Race swiftly to the level strand,
And struggling die upon the sand.
The shells that sparkle at my feet,
Strange tales of wind and wave repeat,
The weird romance, the mystery
Of the dark caverns of the sea.
My fairy fleet that long has lain
Close moored in some enchanted bay,
Borne by fair gales across the main,
Sails swiftly on its homeward way.
Ny ships, my stately ships see
Full many royal argosy,
Like white winged birds they speedily come
And bring their gathered treasures home.
Pearls from the mermaid's watery cell,
Pure gold from sunny orient lands,
With many rosy chambered shell
And jewel-wrought by elfn hands.
Crosses and amulets of price,
Of sandal wood and sacred palm,
Embossed with many fair Device
And odorous with tropic balm.

Bazaar Fashion Notes.

The Plastron princesse dress is one of
the most elegant importations Of the
season.
The new spring woolens are soft and
yielding, and though of pure wool, have
scarcely more weight than the sheerest
cambria.
The plain princesse dress is of seal
brown silk, trimmed with plaitings and
facings of lighter brown or ashes-of-
roses silk.
De beges are no longer plain or mere
ly twilled, but are imported in the sty-
hsh small figures, armures, stripes,
