THE UAUHE Ok THE huk8U-IuRk1bH WAR,
A correspondent Writos ua desiring briof
statement Of tho causo Of the war between
nusaia nnd Turkey. There arc two causos,-
tho direct and indirect, The dIroct may bo
stated In n vory fow words The oppression
and persecution Of their Chrlstian subjects
by tho Turks roachod such point OF cruelty
that tho victims broke ont In opon revolt
year ago. In aupprossing this revolt tho
Turks wore guilty OF such inhuman torturca
mud nassacres that Europe, with Russia at
tho head, protested, and after meeting In
Conference demanded that the Porto should
givo guarantees Of reform. Tho Porto TO-
fused, aud Russia, as tho champion Of tho
Christlans, now takes the lold to soouro these
reforms by tho sword, and to amcliorate tho
condition Of the Christians.
The Indirect CAUSE Of this war Ia that tho
Turk Ia an alien in Europe, an enemy OF
Western civilization, sanguinary fanatic by
nature, ruler whose Government Ia not
Government Of law but Of plunder, and TINT
thoro Ia o very general feeling In the civil
izcd world that 1t Is time for this Govern
mont to bo overthrown or removed to Its
original Asiatio source. The clement Of law
does not enter into the idea OF Turkish Gov
ernment. It's Constitution is an uttor dead
letter. It has no machinery for enforcing
laws. 1thas promised to mako reforms over
and over again, which promises remain nn-
fulallod because 1t cannot enforce thom. Tho
governing power of Turkey is in tho hands
Of caste that docs not number ono-sixth Ut
the Empire, which exists a. an armed
camp Of Asiatics In tho midst Of
Europe, not to lay down laws, en-
forco obedience, aud administer Justice,
but to terrorize even to the extent Of ex-
termination, It necessary, aud In any event
to degree that will mako resistance impos-
sible. Thls caste Is not responsible to any
authority but lis own. II its agents commit
outragcs, there Is no redress. Not ono Of
the aends who perpatrated the Bulgarian
horrors has ever been punished, On tho
other hand, tho bloodisst butchers havo boon
promoted to higher seats Of honor. Mr.
MAocoLL, In bis recent work on Turkey,
speaks Of tho condition OF tho Bulgariaus
a. follows.

Standing Rock Agency.

The rock which gives to Standing Rock
Agency its name, Is a very small affair.
and is said 10 be not more than TWO feet
in diameter at the ground, and does not
exceed two feet in hight. There is
pretty Indian tradition connected with il.
which is as follows:
Many fears ago this country was occu.
pied by the Arickaree Indians. One of
these had squaw who was very devoted
to him; which fact did not prevent him
taking another squaw to his lodge, &C.
cordlng TO indian custom. The first
squaw could not reconcile herself to this
division of her lord and masters love be-
tween two women, and so she abandoned
the lodge and went out on the prairie with
her infant child, where she sat down and
wept, and greyed, and starved. She died
there, and the infant with her, and both
were pe,ri6ed into stone, which is Stand
ing Rock. Ofterings are made to this
rock-the petrificd woman and child
nearly every day. The top of the rock
is always painted. and around its base are
beads. cloth. arrows. aud other articles
used by Indians.

A House With u History.

The Winterton House in London was a
large, rambling edifice. 1t was for many
years inhabited by . very eccentric lady :,
who died at an advanced age. She had
one daughter, who married against her
mothers wishes. When the guests left
the room in which the wedding breakfast
had been given, the old lady ordered the
shutters to be closed and the doors to be
locked, and from that day to the day of
her death the room was never opened.
By peeping Though the keyhole, could be
seen the table, laid out with the plate and
china, just as they had been left by the
wedding party. The food had crumbled
into dust. bat in the center stood the I'M
mense wedding cake, with its sugar
figures and orange blossoms, now black
with age. It was u ghastly mockery of a
feast, and awakened q sudden feeling OF
pity for . woman whose hate of her own
child could hays remained unwcaksned
twenty years.

The Red Sea.

It is rumored that the Red sea Is losing
the rudy hue which obtained for it its
popular name. This may be owing to
climatic or chemical reasons, for, as is
well known, the red color is given by the
presence in places of myriads of a minute
and all-but microscopic plant, belonging
10 the seaweed ord'r. Many spots in the
open ocean are similarly dlscolored, and
over wide regions the same fact is true of
the Antarctic ocean. Still ruore recently
it has been discovered that the dark
green discolol alton of some portions of
the Arctic ocean is due, not 10 the
presence or absence Of ice. as was once
believed, bat to the abundance of one of
these minute species of plants. Still
more curious was the fact brought out
that the "whale's food,' also minute
animals, lived on this microscopic vcge-
table, and is not found in localities
where the dark-green discoloralion is
not observed.

Raymond Matching Coins.

Colonel Mulberry Sellers Raymond is
said to have special weakness for match

himself of couple of hundred dollars in
an afternoon this way. A story is told
that recently in Ssn Francisco he met
Maurice Grau, and challenged him to &
matching bout. Grau accepted and play
was begun with $40 pieces. Grau kept
winning, the stakes were increased to
hundreds. and IN less than half an hour
Raymond had lost $32. 900, on honor, a.
neither he'd any such amount of money
about them. Raymond was excited and
nervous and proposed matching the whole
S32. 600 on one cast. Grau consepted, and
put down head. Raymond matched him

Song.

Let thy weary eyelids fa,l,--
wearicd with much weeping;
Ever as the sowing is,
80 must be the reaping
though thy wcaried eyelids fall.
Inou causr not, Danish sorrow:-
All that makes thee weep tonight
WIN make thee weep Tomorrow.
Mournful thine eyellds fall,
Loveless faces hiding:
Faces where light from thee
Hath no sure abiding.
Heavily thine eyeliJs fall,
Fondest eyes o'ershading;-
All IN vain they fall, to hide
Flowers of Life last fading.
Let thy wearied eyelids fall!
ihou may st rest in sleeping,
And forget the earth awhile.
With all thy cause for weeping.
Let thy wearied eyelids fall!
Humbly fall, while praying
Unto Heaven for strength to heed
What thy soul is saying.
Saying, "Let thine eyelids fall!
Rest thee from thy sorrow!
Weeping 'dureth for a night,
Joy cometh with the morrow.
"Wisdom is the fruit of pain;-
Thou hast learnt thro' weeping
That whate'er the sorrow is,
Still will be the reapins."
