Polvgamy among the Turks Of every class is
wearing out and becoming rare but the Sc
crecy and seclusion of the harem inculcated
by their religion always oppose q barrier to
their near assimilation with other races. The
existing Turkish Empire dates only from the
end OF the thirteenth century. The language
spoken by the different tribes Of Turkish or
Tartar origin form principal division OF the
great scythian, Altaic, Or Turanian family.
They constitute together well marked group
of nearly related idioms The Tartar dialects
are for the most part known only by scanty
vocabularies and the descriptions of travellers;
few have been treated grammatically, three

Turkish and the Osnani have received liter
arg culture, and are to be studied il written

VALUATION AND TAXATION IN NEW
YORK.

The Assessors valuation of real estate and
personal property for this year in the city OF
New York is 81, 1o1 ,092 ,093,. decrease of
about SIC, O00,O0o in comparison with last
wear. Of this valuation 1896, OOO, OO0 are
real estate, an increase of $1,000, 900, and
S2O6, 100000 personal estate, decrease OF
S12, 500, 900. Included in the latter is the
valuation of bank shares S73, ,274, de-
cline of nearly s12,oOO,oOo The taxes, to be
raised are nearly s29, ooo,o 900, and the pros
pective New York tax rate this year Is,
therefore, about S2.G5 per 800. High as
this rate is, it is nevertheless lower than the
rate Of 50 so levied there last year, and 81. 90
levied in 1876 It is stated that the small
increased valuation of real estate in New
York is due entirely to the erection OF ne"
buildings, and that the large decrease in the
valuation OF bank shares is due to the distri-
button OF surplus and decrease in capital, re-
sorted to for avoiding taxation. Various
non-residents, formerly having money in
vested in business in New York are also
noted as having withdrawn their capital.

powerless to prevent widespread starvation in
its Indian possessions. China is ravaged by
fever, and looking forward to possible fail
ure of the crops. The whole empire is said
to be poverty stricken, and not even good
years harvest can restore it to its average
status. The bad financial condition of the
country, of course, has its effect on the for
eign traders, whose goods are accommodating
on their hands, and who can only get very
low prices for what they manage to SELL An
other lean harvest will, it is feared, ruin the
country for q time.

POOR MRS. HAYES

This curious dispactch came from Washing
ton yesterday: CAT meeting OF the Mrs.
R. B. Hayes Temperance Society last night,
a resolution was adopted expressing pride and
satisfaction that the lady whose name the
Society bears IS in no way responsible tor
furnishing basket of flowers to the Schue-
tzenfest, and therefore the Society sees no
good reason for change of its adopted alma
mater" It appears to US that this would be
very funny if it was not somewhat disgusting.
There is a Temperance Society III Washington
which, with ostentatious and unconscious
snobbishness has called itself the Mrs. K. u.
Hayes Temperance Society" One would
think that Mrs Hayes had been sufficiently
nsulted by this piece of impertinence on the
part of the Society. But no; it seems that
She is expected thenceforth to regulate her
actions in all respects according to the stan
dard of morality VOuchsafed TO the idiots who
constitute that ridiculous organization, on
penalty of having her name repudlated. The
other day some of the German residents of
Washington held Schuetzenfest, and Presl-
dent HAYES, Carl Schurz and General Key
were present as guests At the Schutzenfest,
as at all the festivities Of the temperate but
iovial Teutons, there was something to drink
besides water Hence these tears. Some
body sent basket of flowers to the Schuet-
zenfest It was whispered that Mrs. Hayes
was the donor. Thereupon arose tempest
in the teapot of the Mrs. R. B. Hayes Temper
ance Society, and as it appears from the
latest proceedings, it was gravely discussed
whether the Presidents wife ought not to be
"cast off " The Society have fnally-and
we confess, to our OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
ed that Mrs. Hayes did not send the flowers,
and so they have graciously consented to
continue and perpetuate the outrage perpet-
uated upon her name in assuming it as the
title of their unspeakably contemsible and
preposterous organization On calm review
of the circumstances we are inclined to think
that if Mrs. Hayes had the spirit of Norway
lemming she will proceed to I'll landau with
flowers, and dispatch it to that Scuetzenfest,
at the same time notify the executive CON-
mittee of that intolerable Temperance Society
that they will be arrested for obtaining con-
fdence under false pretenses if they use her
name again. Record Union.

A gentleman occupying an exalted position
in this city, recently returned from San Fran
cisco, where he was thrown in contact with
multitude of the best, wealthiest and most
intelligent people Of that city, who manifest
great interest IN political results this year,
informs US that the popular sentiment is re-
shaping itself for Hon. A. A, Sargent. The
thinking classes and those who have much at
stake in pure government argue that Mr..
Sargent has proved an efficient and hard
working representative against whom mona
of the charges OF corruption in Office can
be sustained. Unbounded faith is reposed
in his integrity and honesty Of purpose IN the
face of all the malicious accusations which
have been entered against this high-minded
gentleman to further the political ends OF his
adversaries. The general impression prevails
that the Hon. A. A. Sargent will emerge
from this fire test unscorched and as pure as
his most ardent admirers could well wish for,
and that he will be his own successor as Sen
ator of the United States from California.

Mr.. Robert Almond, q brakeman on the
Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago railroad,
for the three days during the late strike had
the entire management OF that road. When
the crisis came he was unanimously chosen by
the train men as general manager Of the road.
He is in his 25th year, tall, slender, inteli-
gent, quick and forcibls. He never tasted a
drop of strong drink. During the three days
when he held the Office not a single mistake
or accident occurred, though excitement and
danger attended everywhere The conduct
of the road was entirely in his hands, even to
the issuing of passes At the end of the three
days he resigned his high Office, and sat in
the door of his little cottage, with his bloom
ing wife and child, simple brakeman again,
happy that the burdensome responsibility had
been shifted from his mind.

We have before alluded to the marvellous
fertility Of the sage brush lands aanking both
sides of the Humboldt river There are
thousands of acres of these rich lands in the
vicinity of Elko which could be readily con.
varted into the finest grain producing lands
on the coast by cheap system Of irrigation.
Why would it not be good plan to utilize
the waters of the Humboldt for irrigating
purposes2 The river could be tapped by a
ditch at any point above and supply of wa
ter be thus obtained sufficient to develop
hundred fruitful plantations In Chile and
Peru it rarely rains, and yet those countries
have for centuries been famous for their &C.
real products, and this is all accomplished by
an expansive system of artificial irrigation.
Some time our people may profit by patron
izing after Chile and Peru. Gasstte.
Cardinal manning thinks that it is not
enough to try to check drunkenness The

ance which never betrayes itself in drunken
ness. In the upper classes, worldly respect,
shame, and many other motives keep people
within bounds, but they nevertheless wreck
themselves and their homes by an excessive

misery of homes arising from bad temper,

RUSSIAN ATROCITIES.

We are hardly prepared as yet to believe
all hat we have read in the news dispatches
Of late, in regard to Russian atrocities.
Ostensibly this war on the part of Russia was
Tor the betternent Of the condition OF the
christians in Servia and Roumania. The
mas acre Of men, women and children last
year by theTurks and the finding OF thousands
of the dead bodies of their victims furnished
q pratext for the commencement OF hostll1ties.
The Russians have hoisted the banner OF the
cross, and the Turks have placed upon their
standard the signal of the crescent SO that
this may be presumed to be war of religions,
a war the most inhuman that can be imagined,
and we shall not be surprised if these reported
atrocities are confirmed and others enacted
which will rival in brutality all the crueltles
and persecution. of the crusades and Of the
reformation of the 10th century. Still there
are reasons for believing that the present war
has not yet reached such pitch. The Rus
SLAMS as well as the Turks are fearful OF
offending the other great nations OF Europe.
The Russians would be glad to have no inter
medding of other powers. The Turks on
the contrary are anxious TO have the sympathy
and assistance of England. The reported
atrocities are repugnant to all the laws OF
warfare between civilized nations, and as
these reports come mostly through Turkish
channels and are the Interested accusations OF
IL. hf1f sJnact that thaV
are exaggerated and made for the purpose of
giving 8 pretext for interference to those
nations DESTROYS of espousing the cause Of the
Turks. The British Consuls, it seems, are
instructed by the home government, to keep
an eye on the operations OF the war, and to
report whether either beligerent, and partic-
ularly the Russian, ofends against the laws
of humanity. We believe that the sympathy
of the English government is with the Turks
in this struggle and if it can be made to
appear that the Russians have violated the
laws of humanity n their treatment of nou
combattants then she will no longer hesitate
to openly give aid to the Mussulnan. The
latest dispatch regarding atrocities alleged
to have been made by the Russians is as
follows; THE Porte has issued a circular
recounting the terrible massacres perpetrated
by Cassocks and Bulgarians. These include
the burning alive of seventy Mussulmans of
the village of Ayukelni, and the massacre Of
forty others, as well as women and children.
The circular declares that the
English military attache has
ascertained the truth of the allegations.
While we are prepared to believe that the
Russians are guilty of these accusations, still
we must confess that we should be better
satisfied with the truth of the dispatch, if it
had came from less interested source, The
Russians will, no doubt, reply with counter
charges of cruelties perpetrated by the Turks
and war of recrimination in atrocities may
be expected, but we should not too hastily
give credence to such reports.
