to turn IL over TO the Hon. ELL PERKINS.
i selected Mr. SCHURz," Mr.. HAYES went
on to say, for the position he occupies, be-
cause thought him the right man." Here
again we are at loss to know what the dis
tingulshcd orator means TO imply. A dcsir-
aDlc whale is sometimes spoken OF by those

cnd IL il possible that HAYES intended TO
compliment the Secretary Of the Interior by
the selection Of this adjective. 1t cannot bo
that he felt himself called upon to deny that
he had selected Mr. ScHUH because he
thought him the wrong man.
As Mr. HAYES was about TO bring his
speech to close his eye fell upon n gentle
man of the press in full action and to this
incident we are indebted for the following
charming passage: 81 did not know, gentle
mon, until had finished, that that dread
ful reporter was present. But they will find
things out, anyhow, 50 it doesn't make any
difference, guess"
IL did make difference, however. If
that dreadful reporter had not been present
to take down Mr.. Hayes remarks verbatim
the country would perhaps never have
known that its so-called President, among
his other accomplishments can crowd four
solccisms, ono mystery, and six deliberate
platitudcs into twenty-five speech.

Domestic Life in Turkey.

Among popular d"lu-ions none are more
ill-iou4dcd and ludicrous than those which
ml-coAcolyc the condition Of women IL Mo
hammcdau countries. Habits OF scll-ndul-
gcnce, ior instance. are imputcd To tho
Turks, a. a nation, which obviously are in
compatible with the plodding, noco--itous
existence of tie mass Of men; and the word
harcm, which literally means nothing
worse than "hone,' is perverted into u
synonymc Tor organized social disorder.
The truth j., that not a few IF our mis-
taken notions On the subject date back
to the Clu7ades whereas among certain
Glasses 81 the Ottoman community more
change ha- been wrought by the last three
decades in the social aud domestic economy
than three centuries have effected il south
crn Italy aud Spain.
For the Turk Of moderate means, the
privilege Of four wives accorded by the
Prophet Is a phantasm more remote and UNI
substantial than the promise Of Paradise.
The artisan or small trader regards po-
lygamy a the privilege OF the rich, since
in hi- own case the iueXorable prescriptions
Of economy enforce the opposite system.
The normal Ottoman household is mono-
gamic; and iuran obvious reason thopo-itiou
Of the wife 4, less ahiect than among the
Christian subjects Of the Porte I'm the same
social grade. A tie that may hc snapped at
will j. not chain, and IL is clear that the
species Of -olvitude which blights the com
paniou Of the russian moujik could not co..
exist with the freedom of divorce guaIan-
tend to both co-partners by Mo-lcm law.
Even In the Aarems Of the high officials

of sclf-interos', which are as potent at

Get Rid of All the Canals.

Previous TO the amendment Of 1878, tho
state Constitution prohibited the sale or
leasing Of any Of the canals. That amend
mcnt limited tho prohibition to the Eric,
Champlaln, Oswcgo, and Cayuga and Seneca
canals. This has placed il in the power of the
Legislature to lease or sell any or all Of the
remaining canals, the Crooked Lake, the
Chcmung. the Gcncscc Valley, the Chenan-
go, the Black River, and tho Oneida Lake
canals. A year ago, Commissioners were
appointed TO inquire into the expedcncy Of
exercising this power, and they reported in
favor Of selling the four ilrst-named canals.

the other two canals docs not satisfactorily

been, utterly WORTHLESS to the State; and If
it can get anything for them from anybody,
they should be disposed OF at the earliest
possible day.
When this Is done. the Constitution should
bc so amended as to authorize the Lcgisla-
turc to sell the rest Of the canals ON the best
terms that can Toe obtained for them. They

OF the immense landed and other posses
slonS OF Miller u Lux. 1t is impossible to
estimate, but it is said they have 7O0OOO
acres in all in California, an area nearly as
great as the State of Rhode Island. There
must be at least 100000 acres in one BODY,
running in strip ten or twelve miles wide
ana sixty miles long from Hills Ferry
southwark. The canal farm is. therefore.
very small proportion of it. 1t is covered
with tarmhouses as well equipped in all
respects as the canal farm. They own
ABOUT $4,000 head of cattle, and last year
Their newborn calves numbered 25.OOO
head. Of sheep they have a vast number.
as well as of hogs, and they furnish the
largest share of fresh meat for the San
francisco market. They can start herd
from Kern county and drive it through to
San Francisco and have good pasture on
their own land for the cattle to feed on
