We look upon the success Of Turkey 80
. matter of sheer impossibility, when op-
posed to Russia, aided as the latter is, by
the Bulgarians and the sclavic people.
Turkey has no funded resources to lean
upon, for the reason that she has no COM
mercial property or financial life. Her
government is a compound Of theocracy
and barsarism, operated upon by Negro
Unphs, and Circassiau women ian ano-
mely in this age-and within the reach Of
Christendom. 1t is hence not to be won
dersd at, that the great obstacles to the
commercial prosperity Of Turkey come
from tho Government itself, especially
from the high taxes, the arbitrary man
ner in which they are collected, and more
than all the difficulty Of obtaining jnstice
In the courts. The resources ofthe country
are great, but it is impossible to utilize
them. The Turks themselves have nj
capital to employ in the development o.
agriculture, mines or manufactures, and
great obstacles are offered to the intro
duction Of foreign capital and onerous re-
strictions placed upon its use. For these
reasons the promises of measures for th'
development Of the resources Of Turkey
which are so frequently repeated are idl
words.
The public debt Of Turkey now amounts
as near as can be ascertained, to about 81

March y, 1877, the expenses Of the Gov
eminent are placed at $S24,Ss5, ,loS'
while the receipts are estimated at $loA-
696, ,s42, leaving de6citof over S2zl ,ooo;-
600. In this amount the custom duties
were set down, as indeed they were the
preceding year, at ss,s22,5oo; but this
amount is fictitious, as the Custom House
refuses to state its actual receipts, and the
commission which was appointed to verify
the budgets declined to enter into tho de
tails of receipts and expenses, but accepted
the amounts given to them by the different
administrations. From other data, o.
though they are also official, We find that
the revenue of the three vilayets OF the
Danube, Adrianople and salonica amounts
tb little over s22,ooo,soo yearly while
the expenses ofthe administration OF those
vilavets are only about $2,5oo,ooo, leaving
a clear surplus to the Government from
these provinces of s1s,oQo,opo. The 'e
whole Of vileyet Of the Danube and all
of the most productive parts Of the TWO
other vileyetts are included within the
limits Of Bulgaria as source OF revenue
this is entirely cut of, by the war, clear
loss of about $2o,OOO,0oO Of revenue
Under the present methods BY which the
revenue is obtained it does not seem posi-
BILE to increase the taxes with any chance
offurther productiveness, and unless great
reforms are speedily introduced into Iur-
key and care given to the development OF
it's natural resources, not even the present
amount of taxes can long be raised. There
will be an additional deficit each year, and
as Turkey henceforth will be precluceo
from borrowing money outside, the hnan-
cial ruin Of the country seems inevitable.
What nonsense it is, to speak Of the ability
Of Turkey to maintain prolonged contest.

OUR MINISTER'S w1FE,s BoNSET.

Well Sophronia Ann, Pm glad you've
come. A great many things has hap
pened since you was here in house
cleanin' time. You know then hadn'
been near the Methodist Church for nigt
on to month; am all Clarence Centre
was a-laughin' am a-makin' fun OF oul
new minister's wife. How dreadful the y
did talk 'bout that blue velvet bonnet oil

couldn't stand it no longer; SO they wen,
to Miss Brown, am they told her that
people thought she were a-injurin' an
a-keepin' back the LORDS work by a.
wsarin' sich wicked, worldly bonnet
AM then says Miss Brown: .....
"Ladies, l should like new bonnet
very much. The blue velvet was my
weddin' hat, nearly two years ago.
Since then my husband has been so
poorly paid he has not been able to buy
me anything new. SO / have been
obliged to wear this hat summer and
winIer." Now Sister Pipkln, she had an
old black apron, jest as good as new.

hold an help, she would have a sewin'
bee, and make up Miss Brown decent

bonnet, but seein' Miss Pipkin was

A YOUNG COUPLE IN sANpUsKY.

A young man and young woman are
now passing through a terrible ordeal OF
| suspense. They are engaged to be mar
ried, and their fate rests upon the de-
cision of the Presidential election. The
young man is stanch supporter OF
Hayes, and the young woman is firm
friend OF Tilden.
They made bet, stalking no less than
their future happiness on the result of
the election. Such a wager may seem
exceedingly foolish to cool.headed older
people, but in the heat OF an exciting
campaign, when both sides claim the
election, the young man and woman
whose minds are wandering far off in
Utopian realms, can not be expected to
exercise the same judgment that char
| acterizes the clear-headed politician.
But the bet is made, and the parties
propose to stand by it to the bitter end.
They love each other with all the fervor
and passionate ardor of their young ma
lures, and their very souls seem to catch
the Inspiration OF each others presence.
Those who have been there know how
1t is themselves. The lovers eagerly
scan the daily papers and deyour with
avidity everything touching on the
vexed political question. ....
The bet which they made Is as follows:
If Tllden should be inaugurated Presi-
dent, the young man is to marry the
young lady: but if Hayes should be in
augurated, the young lady is 10 marry
the young man. The counting of the
Electoral votes and the announcement
of the result is anxiously awaited, as
that, and that only, can decide which
one Of the parties is 10 marry the other.

The slurs and slings at mothers.in.
law are becoming common to an un.
bearable degree. A few fair jokes have
been shot of at them by professional
wits like M. Twain and Quad, and the
quiet smile sent ripping thereat over
the public phiz has stimulated every
little newspaper hack to practice his
secondhand wit upon them. II must
be stopped, this miserable persifl lge at
the expense Of a very worthy and very
necessary element in civilized society.
The scorner of mothers.i .in-law must be
squelched, even with the iron hand. 1t
is quite probable that he never enjoyed
the inestlmable blessing of having one
of his own, and for that matter equally
probable that his father before him never
did. This constant sneering at them
may in the end result in incalculabIe
mischief 1t toiEI discourage candidates
for the position. The gentle sex will
shrink from becoming the targets for SO
many vile witlIngs, and the race OF
mothers-in-law will very speedily be-
come extinct like the dodo or the ich-
Ihyosaurus. Social life will be plunged
into a maelstrom of wickedness, and
moral chaos will have overwhelmed civ
ilization. A little timely legislation
ajudicious "BilI for the Protection of
Mothers-in-law'' might be Of incalcula-
Bile benefit 10 check this evil tendency.

casion?

TIE wars Of freight rates for the past
year, although apparently railroad wars
between competing trunk lines, have
been in realty contests between New
York on the one hand and Philadelphia
and Baltimore on the other as competing
export centers. The interest of the lat-
ter two cities has been made mutual in
the strife to get the trade from New
York. To a great extent they have
succeeded. The former advantages
given to it by the Erie Canal
have vanished. Although the
cost OF canal transportation has been
brought as low as it can be, yet the rail-
roads have taken the traffic. Time is
an important element in moving the
agricultural products OF the country, and
here the roads have all the advantage.
In 1873 the rate by water on wheat
from Chicago to New York averaged 1872
cents per bushel, and over 10 per cent.
was forwarded by that means. In 1876
the rate was reduced to 9.5 cents per
bushel, Notwithstanding which reduc-
tion only about At per cent of the wheat
crop was shipped by the lakes and ca
nal. The metropolis is waking up to the
necessities OF the situation, and con-
tinuance of low freight rates may be
looked for.

The Nandan or chief Queen OF Burmah
is dead. She was sixty years old and is
said to have been much respected.
During her lifetime she was generally
accredited with having great deal to
do with the chief political movements OF
her day in Burmah. The remains Of the
deceased Queen are embalmed. She
will neither be buried nor burnt. Ac.
cording to the strict immemoriaI Gus
tom OF the Burmese court these re-
mains are to be placed in one of the
apartments occupied by the Queen DUR
ing her life in the palace, clothed in
royal robes and surrounded with all the
jewels and paraphernalia of Burmese
royalty. In that state the body is to re-
main until time completes the work OF
destruction or another king ascends the
throne, when the corpse will be thrust
into lumber room or consigned to
mother earth. 1t is the intention OF the
King to spend a portion OF each day in
the apartment containing the remains
OF the Queen, in contemplations and
musings on the transitory nature of
this life. This determination is In strict
accordance with the precepts of the
Buddhist religion. If the Burmese e
King abdicates, as is not very improb-
able, he will become holy Hyoogee.
