Hobart Pasha is winning no laurels in this
war. The splendid fleet under his command
has 50 far been valuecss to the Turks unless
the destruction of Sukum-Kalch be deemed Of
some account. The sinking of the ironcad in
the Danube appears to have made the turks
less boasriul of their fleet. Odessa and khei-
son are somewhat alarmed, but they seem to
be secure.

All the constitutional amendments OF the
Charter Commission have now been passed at
Albany. This is a great achievement IN ml-
nicipal reform. When another House ana
Senate have been carried, n single vote OF the
people can cmancipate this city forever from
the dcspOtism of the Legislature.

II is q curious illustration Of the reluctance
with which legislators conform themselves to
limitations Of their powers, that many OF tie
bills winch Cow Robinson has vetoed are
either in direct conflict with the constitutional
amendments adopted more than two years ago,
or unnecessary in view Of the general laws
passcd to carry those amendments into effect.
Gov. Robinson, by the way, seems TO take a
lively relish in the use Of the veto power, and
is probably at this moment sharpening his TOM
obawk for the W OOdin Charter.

have taken the action it has with respect to

is not so much a decision by the Senate on

and never hoed, that weighed square down
eight pounds. It's a fact, and if anybody
don't believe tive have the monster to show.
Raised on sod and never hoed 1t grew un-
der the shadow of two vines, one pie-melon
and the other squash. The first vine meas
ures seventy-eight feet and has upwards Of
two hundred melons on it, and the other over
eighty squashes. Sedgwick county challenges

II. B. Wykof, of Attica, by means OF the
derrick and tackle furnished him by nature,
