Turkish Views of the Eastern War,

A correspondent of the London Times
at Alexandria, Egypt, writing on July
Is, says: 'Some three or four days ago
1 had occasion to visit on a matter of
business one of the better class of Turk
ish officials, who has held at different
times the position of Governor of Alex
andria, Minister of Foreign Affairs, ad
interim, and Minister of Justice. AS
you probably are aware, all our high
administrative posts are held not by
Egyptians, but by Turks. In trans
acting business with an Oriental it is
matter of etiquette for both parties to
avoid as long as possible any mention of
the object of the visit, and, as the
weather here is not sufficiently change
able to afford even a Briton excuse for
remark, soon found myself discussing
the question of the day-the war. A
big map lay open before the Pasha, who
pointed me out Kars with considerable
pride, taking care to inform me that it
was not so small as it looked. A refer
ence on my part to the presence of Sir
Fenwick Williams at the former seige
did not meet with the success 1 had
expected. Very likely, very likely,
there are Englishmen everywhere-all
over the place;' and another Turk pres
ent borrowed from Scripture an uncOm-
plimentary comparison for my country
men, and told me that the English went
to and fro like 'Sheitan' ARABIC for
Satan) himself. An unfortunate refer
ence to Besika Bay brought upon me a
fire of good-natured chaff lit is not pro-
fame to apply such term to the pleas
antry of sober Osmanlis). why was
the fleet going back there2' repeated the
Pasha. Because there was good shoot
ing,' said one. Was it to protect the
Christians again?' asked another. Be
cause they find we are getting on too
we'll without them,' said third.
Because you want us more than we
want you, said fourth, and their final
triumph was to show me caricature
in the Stamboul Punch, where John
Bull as ninepin was in danger of be-
ing toppled over by Turkey, second
ninepin, who was bowled at by Russia.
As came away met an Arab of the
better fellah class, who was down from
the interior to sell his wheat, and, Curl
Gus to compare notes, tried to get him
on the same subject. His summary of
the Eastern question was amusingly
brief and comprehensive. Allah is
great, the Murki (Russians) are damned

THE OCCUPANCY OF PALESTINE.
The Holy Land is not to be the Seat of
Judaism but of Catholicism.

The impression prevails very extern
sively that Palestine is to be repeopled
with Israelites who are now scattered
abroad in all lands, and that large
emigration of this people thitherward
has set in. Some authorities declare
even that the population of Palestine is
to-day double what it was ten years ago.
If this refers to the Jews, the Rev. DR..
De Hass, who has been United States
Consul at Jerusalem for seven or eight
years, writes to the Christian Advocate
of New York City to say that it may
be true, but of the entire population it
is not true. The country he says,
owing especially to the heavy drain
upon the able-bodied men to keep up
the Turkish army, is rapidly being de-
populated and impoverished. Deserted
villages are everywhere to be seen.
There is less wealth among the people,
fewer camels, horses, and stock of ali
kinds than ten years ago. Fruit and
forest trees are also disappearing. Car
mel was almost stripped of her timber
for the SueZ Canal, and as any fruit
tree is taxed whether it bears or not,
few are planted. Everything there
appears to be finished. There is no
progress, no improvement of any kind.
There are about thirty thousand Jews
in all Palestine. They are mostly from
Russia, and do not go there to work or
develop the country, but to die, that
they may sleep with their fathers in
holy ground. They are generally aged
and poor, living on the charity of their
people in Europe or America. 1t will
require different class of emigrants
altogether, says the Doctor, to recover
this cursed land. 1t is true there are
new houses going up outside the city
walls, but mostly small tenements,
built by committees for the benefit of
their poor members. Work has been
done on those dwellings by night to
avoid the hot sun during the day, and
not because there is such demand
for houses as has been reported. The
latest programme for Palestine occu-
pancy. The Jesuits of Europe, adds
DR.. De Hass, are dissatisfied with the
condition of things in Italy, and there
is a movement on foot to make Jerusa-
lem the head of the Latin church.
Commissioners have been appointed to
negotiate for the territory; engineers
have surveyed a railroad from Jerusa-
lem to Jaffa; money is being collected
for the erection of a magnificent palace
for his holiness on Mount Zion, to
which the Vatican is to be transferred.
There the successor to Plus TX is to be
installed, and the 'sCity of the great
king" is to be the future head of the
pontifcal see. Russia, however, may
have something to say on the future
of Palestine.

The Highest Mountain Ever Climbed by
Man.

Mr.. Charles Wiener, who for the past
two years has been conducting scienti-
fic expedition in South America under
directions from the French Gov
ernment, claims to have succeeded in
making the first ascension of Mount
nlimani, in Bolivia, one of the few
known lofty peaks on the surface of the
earth left virgin Of the foot of man.
On the 10Th Of May, with two compan-
ions, he reached, as he believes, the top
of the mountain, and ascertained the
height of the southeastern peak to be
20, ,112 feet. He gave this peak the
name of the Peak of Paris, which name
has been recognized "officially'' (by the

The Pull-Back 0utdone by the Eel,Skin, the
Latest Agony.

The eel-skin" dress is now the great rage
both in London and Paris In the widest
days of the tie-back or pin back mania there
never was seen such a tightness in the mat
ter of skirt as now prevails. Whatever the
paucty Of folds in the pin-back in its front
part, in the enormous exuberance of the
pannier or hustle the balance was struck.
But now, not only is the hustle thing OF
horror, but even the necessary underclothing
Is considered de'hop. To lengthen the waist
far beyond its natural proportions, stiff
webbing Of elastic is fastened to the stays to
the depth of half foot, and to this, at first
narrow skirts were buttoned But even this
is now abandoned for another scheme to ac-
quire senderness. Mrs. Swisshelmss much
ridiculed chemiloon is in demand, and gar
ments made in this way are sold at the furn-
ishing shops, and patterns of it pass eagerly
from hand to hand among lady friends.
Some ladies have had regular stage tights
made in thick webbing, and over these they
wear nothing but the outer dress ,underskirts
being simulated by pleated rufties of white
muslin, sewn to the edge of the dress, which
is then tied back till the woman within i,
shackled almost like convict in a chain
gang No more uncomfortable fashion evei
was devised, for not only are the limbs con
fined by the binding dress, but the weare
must constantly concern herself about tn,
condition ofthe bodice, that portion being il
incessant danger of turning itself up be
hind, wrong side out, like an umbrella in
wind storm, The desired effect of youthful
senderness is generally obtained by the see
skim" but at good deal of sacrifice of per
sonal ease-Paris Letter.

COUSIN WILL.
BY PHILIP MORsE.

! strolled last night in muslng mood,
Rejecting on my lonely state
TIL, wearled out at last, I paused
And leaned upon garden gate.
The old moons mellow radiance hung
In golden msts among the trees,
Faint odors, borne from distant flowers,
EObed idly on the evening breeze.
As thus stood, absorbed in thought,
Ipressed against the gate too hard.
It opened with a sudden jerk
found myself within the yard
A form came gliding down the walk -
Sort arms embraced me. as, perplexed,
stood one blissfu moment, while
A sweet voice soolhed my ear; the next
1t rose into a shrek, then sobbed:
40 sir, how could you keep 80 stlll!
When all the time know you knew
thought you were my cousin Will"
These stars are moons, or rather months;
Just five have fitted since that night,
And two Of these have calmly shone
Upon our welded life. 1t quite
Surprises me to think OF 1t.
And she is queenly tall and fair,
With lustrous eyes, and such wealth
Orwell we Call 1t auburn hair.
$50 late ~ I've just come from the club;
My wife sits silent, but light,
Unseen before. turks in her eye.
Once more muse on that calm night
When first she met me at the gate,
And wonder, while her eyes flame still,
II ever I, in days to come.
Shall wish 1t had been cousin VIII.

The Popular Science Monthly has its opin-
ion of DR.. Pleasonton and his blue glass
which it doesn't mind expressing. 1t says:
We think that the man lPleasonton) isa
pestilcnt ignoramu-, and his book the ghast-
liest rubbish that has been printed in hun
dred years. He may be entirely honest out
that is 10 reason why We should give atten-
ton to his egregious folly. Pleasanton, how
ever, it must be confessed, serves one impor-
tant function he gauges for us the depth
and density of American stupidity. De
Morgan says, somewhere, that certain men
appear occasionally to play the part of "fool.
meters" in the community, that is, to meas.
ure the number and quality of the fools
furnished by any given state of society.
Pleasanton has done this for us with an &C.
curacy that leaves nothing to be desired.

Miss Connor, bridesmaid, summoned
DR.. Lynch, wedding guest before a Dub

having damaged her..sssilk gown. AT the
wedding he had attempted to kiss her and
in the struggles her dress was torn. He al
so accidently spilled some tea on it. The
dress was worth "a, and he promised to re-
place it, but did not She said she COM
planned of his conduct to her aunt, who on
ly laughed, and said, ''she would get used to
it, For the defence it was pleaded that
the wedding guest only took the recognized
liberties with bridesmaid but the magis-
trate contended that not being the best man
the defendant was not privileged. The
counsel evincing disposition to be dispu-
tatous, the magistrate dismissed the case
abruptly with the remark, go away out Of
that"
