A Turkish Editor Scour ged to Death.

We quote the following from an En-
glisb paper The editor of the Ar
menian journal, the Ararat, died a few
days ago from the effects of the beating
he received at the doors of the Grand
Vizier's Office at Csnstantinople. Article
II of the new Turkish constitution says /:
"The press is free within the limits i'm
posed by law" Editors in Turkey may
henceforward hope to pursue their avo-
cations without the stick accompaniment
discoursing most excellent music on
their corporeal frames even to the death,
as in the case of the unfortunate editor
of the Ardrat. 1t will be recollected
that the press delinquency attributed to
this gentleman was the publication of
an account of the freaks of q tax col
lector in Asia Minor, who, after having
tied the principal inhabitants of a GER
tain village to stakes, administered to
them sound castigstion, diversified
with buckets of cold water, in order,
doubtless, to refresh their memories as
to their pecuniary resources. The Ar
menian was summoned to the presence
of the late Grand Vizier, who accused
him Of spreading false reports concern
ing the high-minded and benevolent
Turkish administration, and, on his de
parture from the presence of the great
man, he received the chastisement from
which he has Just died.

A Panama Editor Strangely Befogged

Our newly.invented word "bull-doze"
has proved too much for the editor of
the Panama Star and Herald. He is
struck all of heap, and frantically calls
upon his readers to fathom the mystery
and decipher the meaning of this new
Yankee invention. He concludes the
following by offering reward for the
solution, and agrees to ask no ques
tons
It is with a painful and humiliating
sense of our limitations that we quote
this astonishing word. All at once, as
if it had escaped and rained down out
of some overcharged photographic thun-
der-cloud. plentiful as small frogs after
a warm shower, our American exchanges
are full of it. Where did it come from
and what does it mean2 Everything is
"bull. doze," or "bull doing" or "bull-
dozed |" Shades of Sam Johnson the
Immortal, Noah Webster, LII. d.. !;
Walker, Stormonth and company, help
us Our brain feels giddy! Some
mesmeric power seems about to undo
us A terrible monster, with awful
horns and believing voice seems about
to roar and gore us, while dro wsiness
chains us down A nightmare, terrible,
with spectres grim, haunts our Devil
dered mind Experience has made us
familiar with that noble animal, the bull.
For many reasons, as Mark Twain said
about his baby, we "respect him. We
know that Dame Europe was borne on
his broad back once on time, and that
his services ever since that celebrated
event have been highly important. We
have nothing against him, and if he will
stay away from us, we will be the best
of absent friends. AS for DOING, may
the good Lord help us to tell the truth
and bear with fate No soothing strip
or mandragoric opiate is required to in
duce that blissful condition. We claim
to know all about it. 1t is as natural to
us as breathing. 1t is our normal state.
But why bull should be hyphened with
doze, or how they ever came to be in
that hymenial relation, or what they
mean when thus united, or who was first
guilty of such crime, or what the
world is coming to, are questions that
bring us to the limits of our reasoning
powers and leave us there, confronting
the "abysmal unknown" as Carlyle
would say, and ready to question the
goodness and wisdom of that Being who
permits such wicked world to go gaily
on in it's mad career.

Liberian Colonization.

Mr.. J. Milton Turner, United States
Minister to Liberia, was asked by a
Cincinnati Enquirer reporter If emf
grafton to that country was still going
on. He replied: "There is au emigra-
ton from the Southern States OF the
ignorant and credulous, acted upon by
the agents of the Colonization Society,
who appear to make their living in that
way, and without any particular refer
ence to the veal or woe of the class
they operate upon. In this connection
l do not wish to include the well. mean
ing philanthropist who contributes his
money for what he believes is a good
cause, nor would advise the abolition
of the society as such, but I would ad-
wise them TO continue their labors, but
change the object; namely, that instead
of encouraging emigration from this
country, they establish schools for the
education of the aboriginal Africans
among the tribes on the SOIL"

Cloud Hammer. Of the Alps.

Among the most exquisite scenes which de-
light the oye of the European traveller are those
wonderful rose-colored clOrd-bauDers, floating
from the Alpine cliffs. But IL is only in the
sunlight that Nature hangs out these beauti-
fui tokens. SO it Is only in tho glow OF health
the sunlight of our inner being-that Nature
reveals these physical cloud-banners the
"rosy cheek" aud "cherry lip" to praise
which every poet OF the earth has invoked the
Muse 70 aid him. But they are as rare ~ tho
cynical Hood conceived Christian charity to be.
Woman, eagor To retain this charm resorts to
French art and rouge. The effect is similar to
that which would be produced by substituting
auctioneers' flags for the delicate glowiTg
cloud banntr rs OF the Alps. Ii woman would
aid Nature Instead of adopting art, would seek
health instead OF vainiy trying TO mask disease,
she would not only win the greatest charm OF
Observation-Disclosures she would avert
much miserv both from herself aud others.

The Ashtabula Bridge.

Commenting upon the suicide of Chief
Engineer Collins, of the Lake Shore
and Michigan Southern railroad, the
New York Herald says: If year
ago the Chief Engineer of the Lake
Shore railroad had informed his en-
ployers that he could not conscientious
~ certify that the bridge at Ashtabula
was safe, what would have been the re-
suit 2 Would he not probably have
been informed that if he could not GER
tify to the safety of that bridge the com
pany would be pleased to have his resig-
nation in order that it might fill his
place with an engineer who could and
would certify as aforesaid9 In other
words, would acorporation animated by
the average spirit of corporations have
changed the bridge or the Engineer,
when it cost nothing to change the lat
ter and a great deal of money to change
the formera Had the Engineer been
able to prove to the company that the
continued use of this bridge would cost
nearly million dollars in one way or
another, while new one could be put
up for hundred thousand dollars, it
is doubtful if, even then, his
words would have received respect
full attention; for the expenditure of the
hundred thousand dollars would be to
the officers and directors the only Ger
tainty in the case, while the possible
million would be always contemplated
as chance and the visionary fear of an
overscrupulous Engineer. 1t is only
necessary to consider what would prob
ably have been the fate of the proper
advice in regard to that bridge to com
prehend the tragically painful position
of the Engineer who has just slipped
away from all his earthly responsibilities
in the case by suicide. He could not
but be aware of the defects of that
bridge. He knew that it was not fairly
constructed even on the original plan
that its parts were deficient from the
outset; that it was put up by incompe
tent persons; that essential parts had
fallen out and were not replaced; he
knew that the proper advice in regard
to it would not be palatable at head
quarters, and that great calamity must
Necessarily result from its constant use,
He seems TO have elected not to exhibit
any zeal in the discharge of his duty
that could be unpleasant to his superi
ors, and SO 'chanced it with regard to
the accident, with the result already
known"

The Long Ago.

Many years since, says correspond
emit of the Denver NelDs, "when the
white men who had seen the Rocky
Mountains might still have been count
ed, and only few of the prairie Indians
knew the use of fire arms, a hunter
named Fitzpatrick had one day got sep
arated from his companions and was
pursuing his game alone in the wilder
ness, when, as ill-luck would have it, he
was seen by war party of Indians, who
Immediately prepared to give chase.
There was not the smallest chance of es-
cape for him, but the young hunter made
a faint of running away, in order, if
possible, to gain time. He happened to
know that these Indians, who as vet
were little acquainted with the use of
firearms, had several times, when they
had taken white hunters prisoners, put
the muzzles of their rifles close to their
breasts and fired them, by way of ex-
pertinent, to see what became of it. He,
therefore, thought it prudent to extract
the bullet from his gun, and continued
his fight. The Indians followed and
very soon overlook him and disarmed
him. and tied him to a tree. One of
the warriors, who, it appeared, under
stood how to pull trigger, seized the
rife, placed himself few PAGES in front
of the owner of il, took aim at his breast
and fred. But when the Indians looked
eagerly through the smoke toward

AConductor,s Nervousness.

Conductor HEM, who was in charge
of the train which went through the
Ashtabula bridge, went on duty again
the first part of last week. A passenger
who was on his train when he went
over the new bridge for the first time
told Toledo Commercial reporter that
he noticed that as the train neared the
bridge HEM seemed very much agi-
tated. The horrors of that awful night
of terrors seemed to come over him so
completely that great drops of per-
SEPARATION rolled down his face, and he
grasped the seat nervously for support.
When the train passed off the bridge on
to terra frma he exclaimed "Ihank
God, I'm over, and now I'm not afraid
to go over il thousand tines"

Thief
From the New York Herald.l
William Bennett, the young man who
was arrested on Monday evening last in
Brooklyn for theft, was taken yes
terday before Justice Walsh. Mr.. A.
ID. Owens and wife, instead of starting
homeward, remained and appeared
against Bennett. All the peculiar and
interesting facts of the case were then
developed. It appears that Mr.. Owens
and his wife Kitty are known through
out the State of Ohio as Jim Fisk and
his wife," and they are engaged IN buy
ing and selling scrap iron, travelling
through the country with wagon for
that purpose. In the month OF May,
1876, the business was in such a prosper
GUS condition that they decided TO en-
ploy driver. The prisoner Bennett
was engaged and remained in their en-
ploy until the 21st of August, when he
absconded, carrying with him a watch
and chain and $40 in money. In an old
coat, which he left behind him, Mrs.
Owens found the card of w. +. Martin,
halter, No. 693 Fulton street, Brooklyn,
and as she had heard Bennett speak OF
Martin as his bosom friend, it was dc
cided that she should write and ask for
information concerning Bennett. An
answer was soon received from the
prisoner himself. Mrs. Owens then
wrote another letter, under the advice OF
her husband, telling Bennett they had
been robbed by some farmer on the
road, and that she was very sorry he
had left their company, as she thought
a great deal of him. Several letters
were afterward exchanged between
them, Mrs. Owens, with the approval OF
her husband, planning an elopement
with Bennett, and telling him she dis
liked her husband and that when they
eloped she would secure 81 900 OF her
husbands money. Mrs. Owens was to
meet Bennett in Brooklyn. She arrived
in that city on Monday evening last, in
Company with her husband. They
wendell their way to the police central
Office, where they related their story to
Inspector Waddy. Under the advice OF
that official, Mrs. Owens proceeded to
Martins hat store and inquired for Ben.
nett, her husband and detective re
naming outside. Martin informed heI
that Bennett WAS Mt the Park Theater,
and he would escort her there. Bennett
was soon found among the audience,
and their meeting was pleasant one.
They came out on the street and walked
toward Fulton ferry together. When
in the vicinity of the First Precinct Sta
ton House the detective arrested Ben
nett. Bennett, yesterday, pleaded guilty
to the charge and was sentenced by
Judge Walsh to six months in the peni-
tentiar,.

Shipbuilding in Maine.

The State of Maine, which produces
one-third of the ships built in the
United States, reports marked decline
in that business. In 1856 the total ton
mage amounted to 215,904 tons, which
was the highest ever reached. In 1874
the amount was 1872, 54S tons, and since
then the two years have witnessed O
great falling off. In 1875 the tonnage
was only $1,000 tons, and during the
past year the decline has reached 70, 579
tons. While some of the shipbuildine
districts are making no preparations for
work in 1877, it is believed that in the
whole State the business will somewhat
exceed that of the year past.

where Fitzpatrick stood, they saw he
was safe and sound in his place and he
quietly took out of his pocket the bullet
he had previously placed there and
tossed it to his enemies, who were all
amazement. They declared that he had
stopped the bullet on its fight, that he
was an invulnerable and wonderful con-
iurer, and what was more, that some
great misfortune would most likely be-
fall the tribe if they did not set him
free immediately. They therefore cut
