LONDON, Jan. Ia dispatch to Reu-
ter, dated Constantinople, December 27,
which was delayed by the interruption
OF telegraph lines, says: "The Marquis
of Salisbury, at his audience with the
Sultan, yesterday, announced that a
complete understanding between the
Powers was achieved during the pre-
liminary conference, and that the agree
ment resulted In the programme which
has already been semi-otficially commu-
nicated to the Porte. Lord Salisbury
advised the Sultan to accept the propo-
sails.
The Sultan replied that he deeply re-
gretted that he was compelled to decline
giving his adhesion thereto, as his pow
ers were limited by the Constitution.
Lord Salisbury thereupon remarked in
that case Turkey must not count upon
money or men from England, who would
leave Turkey to her fate. q
The sultan answered.; "It is useless
TO press me; for if l accepted the pro-
posals, it would be at the risk of my
crown and lile."
Lord Salisbury then asked on what

maneuvres, he stepped outside the door
of the office. He did not remain long
until one oil the little animals took un
one of the shells, and climbing consid.
cradle distance up the wall, let it fall to
the floor. This was repeated several
times until the small portion Of the Kerr

extracted. When through with one

Not long ago l was told the story OF a
young Swiss doctor who had charge OF
one of the Communist hospitals, and
who was greatly aided in his labors BY
woman of the people, who, young,
strong-armed and vigorous, assisted
him to the best of her ability, aud who
was at once the most untiring and faith
ful of nurses to the sick and wounded.
After the entry Of the Versail-

brought before the tribunal, but by
the Intervention OF wounded Ver-
sailist whom he had attended he was
released. He learned later the true
story of Adele's failure to recognize
him. She was being led forth to instant
execution when they had met. Even IN
that terrible hour the brave girl had
turned away from the last visage that
would ever be bent upon her in sympa-

ever be profered to her In friendly greet

her former comrade in her own doom.

Mr.. Lamar, since 1872, has been in the
habit OF highly praising Mr.. Carl Schurz,
although many of his constituents have
considered the clever German-American
"a Radical in disguise. General Schurz's
course this year convinced them that
they had been right all the time, and
they repeatedly reminded Lamar OF it as
he was "stumping" Mississippi during
the autumn. Finally, at one OF his meet
ings, some one In The audience interrupt
ed him with, Chow about Schurz, whose
defeat in Missouri you We're SO sorry
aboutf What do you think of him
nowW Lamar replied that Schurz's
course reminded him of an Incident In
his law practice. Sally SAKE was his
witness, and the other side undertook
to discredit her testimony. Bill Jen-
kins was called for this purpose, and,
being placed upon the stand, was asked
what Sally Saxe's reputation was as
woman of truth and veracity
HWell," said the witness, "I reckon 1t
was about four year ago" ''Hold
on" said the counsel, fwe don't want to
know anything about her, but simply
whether she Is truthful or not--would

witness made several attempts to
tell his story, and at length in despera-
ton exclaimed: swell, ali can say is
that she is distracted OF common sense
and guilty Of fits."-[New York Trib-

The Georgia Ghost,

head. Mr.. Stephens moved his skeleton

Perhaps the Georgia ghost had evolved
some new scheme lor saving the country,
and every one. carefully listened as the
clerk began to read. The clerk read,
and then every one smiled a sulky smile
of disappointment. 1t was O resolution
declaring that Mr.. John Chauncey
should be paid $3.50 day for performing
the arduous task of hosting the Ameri-
can flag every day upon the house side.
Chauncey's pay had been stopped on ac-
count Of the exhaustion of the special
appropriation; hence this resolution. 1t

How Children are Fed in Africa.

The women in west Africa are very
fond of their children. Childlessness is
disgraceful to women. Deformed are
often put to death or sold into slavery.
Their regard for their children's comfort
expresses itself in special ways The
child is fed till it will eat no more, then
it is stuffed by peculiar manipulation
by which the food is forced down the
throat. Then it is rolled over and over,
and by snap of the thumb and fore fin
gers its stomach is sounded, when, if it
does not appear satisfactorily full in the
mothers estimation, the process of stuff
ing, and swapping, and sounding is re-
peated, until there is little room left for
doubt that there is no vacuum there at
least for nature to abhor, though none
be able to say how much the little crea-
lures abhor this process and repletion.
After being well fed the child is well
rubbed with palm oil and laid in the
sun, unless from some cause the mother
may have to leave it when it is cross and
mischievous, when it may be buried in
the sand with the exception of its face.

Murder without Motive.

The late murder and suicide at Bran
don is in some respects the strangest of
the strange crimes for which peaceful
Vermont has of late years been famous,
says the Springfield RepuJHcan. Frank
Brassor, ir., aged fifteen, borrowed his
employers fine repeating rifle for n
days hunting. His father, who was
working in swamp, heard two quick
shots near by, but thought nothing of it,
till passer by found the boy dead in n
ditch, with pistol ball in his body, and
the rifle missing. About ten o'clock at
night section hand on the Rutland
railroad met young man near Pitts
ford, who fired at him with rifle, but
was Immediately knocked down, bereft
of his rifle and let 60, the railroad man
keeping on to Brandon, where he heard
of the murder and found the rifle to be
the one taken from the dead boy. A
hand car was manned and started back,
but when near the scene of the t,,ssel n
pistol shot was heard, and the murderer,
n young man of fine appearance and
clothing, with small white hands, was
found to have shot himself dead through
the head. He is since found to have
been an English lad of fine education
and quiet manner, who worked for
while on farm in a neighboring town,
and has been lettering about Brandon.
1t has been thought without particular
reason that he was crazy, but the facts
indicate deliberate murder from pure
covetousness. His light curly hair had
been dyed black, and burglars mask
and other articles were found in his
pocket, with burnt cork, with which he
had partly blackened his face. He
probably saw the Brassor boy with his
handsome gun, and to get it coolly killed
him, and afterward fired on the railroad
man, thinking him one of his pursuers,
and finally, when he found he was really
in danger, killed himself to escape hang

Only the Doll Iniure(l.

On the river bank near Albina, Ore
gon, lives Lumberman Carrico, and
above his home towers a precipitous
bluff. Logs are hauled up the bluff and
then shot into the river through shute
which opens not far from the house.
One Saturday large log, which had
been rolled into the mouth of the shute,
got false start and overlapping the
trough went bowling down the bluff in
the direction of the house. The lum-
herman shouted to his wife and child to
run for their lives, but the warning
came too late. The huge log struck one
side of the house with tremendous force
and crushed it's way clean through. The
lumberman's wife was sitting in her
room, and her baby was lying in
cradle and playing with doll. The log
struck the cradle, knocking it into splin-
ters, and tossing the child several yards.
The lumberman rushed into the house,
and 10 the mother was scared and the
baby whimpering, but neither of them
was hurt. The doll, however, was fatal

Not So Green as He Looked.

In little Scotch parish lived Jock, a
tailor, who, some folks said, was half
witted. AS elders were rather scarce it
was thought by few persons that they
would have small practical joke at the
expense of Jock by getting him elected,
telling him, as an inducement, that ell
ders got a new black coat once year
and sixpence for snuff every Sabbath
they held the plate. Jock, in full belief
of this, consented to stand, and in due
time was instructed in the mysteries of
eldership. After he had served for
year he went to the minister and de-
manded his black coat The minister,
much astonished, told him that his
friends must have been befooling him.
"Weel," said Jock, they were mebbe
befauIng me about the coat, but made
sure of the saxpence, for I've taen'd
every week I've been at the plate"

What a Man Can Stand,

An accident recently occurred in Hun
terdon county, q railroad employee being
thrown from train by sudden jerk
with great force, his right shoulder
striking the iron rail, his body and limbs
partly on the same, and between the
wheels, one car passing over the unfor-
tunate mans body, the next car resting
upon his chest and stomach. Under
this tremendous weight (six tons) he suff
cred several minutes, until his fellow
workmen, with united force, lifted the
car from his body. His face, when the
car was removed, was perfectly black and
his vision entirely gone. His injuries
were supposed to be fatal, consisting of
fracture of the thigh bone. disloca-
ton of the same at the hip joint, making
the limb, by measurement, one and
half inches longer than the other; also
fracture of the collar bone in two diff
ferent places; the ribs where the wheels
rested upon the breast broken, five
in number, and pressing upon
the heart and lungs; flesh
wound several inches deep in the
right thigh, and the eyes partly protrud-
ing from their sockets. The doctor i'm
lnediately set the fractured bones, and
with the assistance of those present sue
ceeded, after several persevering Efforts,
in putting the bone to its place by rota-
/xxyl,i al, .o 70, 1,o .f 4ho,
difficult operations in surgerT, and prob
ably one of the very few of the kind
ever performed III this State before).
The remarkable part is that the patient

again. Cincinna:s Commercial
