nov. Joke WIN Yeur wIre.

Fort Worth (TeIas) Democrat
Marshal Courtright, OF this town,
thought of joking bis wife Arriving at
home at late hour he sntered the front
gate, carefully closing it. Cautiously
cropping his way thither, what was his
surprise to see the right hand Of bis wife
lying on the Eill OF the window. On her
fingers she had two gold rings. one of
which he proceeded to take off. 1t being
rather loose he experienced but little
trouble, and succeeded in the operation
without waking her up. The remaining
ring was much tighter fit, and in his
efforts to extricate it, bis wife swoke,
finding her hand grasped from without
by some one whom she at once con-
cluded was a robber. Quickly pulling
her hand away. she was about to scream
but thinking Of q convenient six.shooter
under her pillow she again placed her
"jewelled hand on the sill, which was
grasped by the supposed burglar, and
with the other she quietly reached for the
pistol, and, rising suddenly, brought it to
bear on her husband; but for his pres
ence Of mind in quickly calling her, she
would have shot him dead. Mrs. Court
right displayed great presence of mind,
iortitude and courage, and the marshal
should be proud Of possessing wife 30
fearless and brave. His narrow escape
has completely cured him OF any further
desire to play the role Of midnight rob.

The Ot.oman Morden.

Constantlnople Letter Philadelphia Times.l
The last division of the reserves has
been called into service. This is com
posed Of men of fifty or more years Of
age, and it will number about 100000,
most Of them being drawn from Asia.
Alter this comes the rising en- masse, or
the call to arms of the able bodied popu.
lation. The European reserves are to
be stationed at AdrianopIe, Sefta and
Salonica. When the unclassified masses
are summoned to the field the standard
OF the prophet will be uufurled and the
sultan will take the supreme command.
That will be critical moment, for it
will be an appeal to religious fsnatcism
and to a destructive war between Mo.
hammedans and infdels 1t will be the
signal Of the massacre and extermina.
tion Of the Christian Ottoman subjects.
This may not be intended, but it will be
so understood. The porte cannot re-
strain the unbridled fury of the
bigoted followers OF Mahommet when
it calls upon them in the usual
form to fight for the religion he founded,
anu 10 crush It's enemies. IL was the
intention of the government to enlist
Christians for the exterior defense of
Constautinople, aad negotiations were
entered into with the heads of the differ.
ent Christian communities for that pur.
pose. On their. advice the project was
abandoned, and, instead. it was determ-
lned to form new organization for the
protection of the capital itself, civic
guard, Of which the Sultan was TO be the
commander. 1t is to be called the I'm.
perisl Guard" and will be composed Of
men between twenty and thirty years Of
age. The decree does not mention wheth.
er Christians will form a part of it or
not. They certainly are not reliable
champions Of Mohammedau rule, even
the most servile and debased of them.
