THE CONDITION OF TURKEY.


The letter of Mr.. Eugene Schuyler,
United States secretary of legation and
consul-general at Constantinople, give
clear insight into the financial condition
of Turkey. All the fruits Of misgovern-
ment and official extravaganza have been
for wears accumulating upon that devoted
land. Depression of national finances,
stagnation of trade, oppressive taxation
all now meet together to threaten one
climax, the financial ruin Of the country.
The great obstacles to the commercial
prosperity of Turkey, writes MIR. Schuy-
Ter, come from the government itself, es-
pecially from the high taxes, the arbitra-
ry manner in which they are collected,
and more than all the difficulty OF obtain
ing Justice in the courts. The resources
of the country are great, but 1t Is impos-
sible to utilize them. The Turks them
selves have no capital to employ in the
development Of agriculture, miDes or
manufactures. and great obstacles are Of
fered TO the introduction of foreign capl-
ital and onerous restrictions placed upon
its use. The public debt of Turkey now
amounts to about S927 100000, the inter
est and other expenses upon which
amount to more than half the revenue OF
the empire, while the remainder disap'
pears in other expenditures, and often
heavy deficit has to be provided for.

A SAD CASE or SUICIDE.

Tuesday morning Mr.. George w. Uhler
of No. 50 Ormond Place, Brooklyn, died
by his own hand. Mr.. Uhler is of Ger
man descent, and formerly carried on
the bu siness of draper and tailor in At
lantic street, near the South Ferry. BY
thrifty management and judicious in
vestments in real estate he acquired a
very handsome fortune, and ten years
ago retired from active business, devot-
ing himself only to the Improvement
and management of his property. Of
late the shrinkage of values and some
comparatively trtiing losses may have
affected his mind, or his mental condi-
tlon may be due wholly tophysical causes
but whatever the reason, he has COM
planned of bad feeling in his head, and
has been visibly depressed for two or
three months,a hardly greeting his ac-
quaintances when he passed them in the
ttreet. On Monday he felt i'll and kept
his bed all day. At several times hs
asked his wife if he did not look strange
and limited his fear that he might become
crazy. She was so much startled BY this
| that she quietly put away two razors be-
longing to her husband and her son, lest
he might be tempted to all improper use
of them. Tuesday morning he prepared
to rise, and attend to some business, but
his wife persuaded him to keep his bed l.
anu "sHl uoWH " huperlntenu tne prep
aration of the breakfast, promising to
bring his up to him. In her absence,
| about eight o'clock, he quietly slipped
out of bed, went to bureau drawer and
possessed himself Of small pocket pistol
he kept there, and returuln to his couch,
| applied it to his right temple and dis
| charged its contents into his brain. He
was insensible when found, with the
small pistol firmly grasped in his right
hand, and soon breathed his last. Mr.
Uhler was 50 years of age, a member of
the Central Congregrat Church
| (Rev. DR.. Scudder's) and for several
years has been President of the Board OF
Trustees. Great sympathy is expressed
for the family, who have been thus sud
denly called to great and unexpected
sorrow.-JOtt1ndl Of Commerce

A FEW ITEMS FOR MOTHERS TO
READ.

A correspondent in writing TO the
Middletotcn Press offers the following
seasonable suggestions to mothers of
afflicted children:
We hope that mothers will remember
that good brandy is cure for summer
complaint; in bad cases a teaspoonful in
milk three or four times day.
A flannel cloth wet in hot brandy, or
better, camphor and brandy mixed and
heated, will relieve the pain of the bow
els if frequently laid over the stomach
and bowels,
I Bits Of scraped ice are better on the
tongue than drinks of water.
For stlngs and poisons, strong solu-
ton of saleratus and water Immediately
and then frequently applied, gives relief
and sure cure.
For burns, an immediate application
of flour covering the burn and wrapped
so as to exclude the air; then burn lard
until it is quite brown and apply, and re-
lief and cure will soon come. Do not
wash off the flour ifit clings, but put the
lard over it.
At night, in extreme warm weather, a
lemon squeezed in tepid water, to sponge
off the tired out little body, will give rest
to 10th the mother and child. Saleratus
is good, but the lemon lis best. Even
washing off the little feet, neck and palms
of the hands in tepid, never very cold,
water, will induce healthful sleep.

GEORGIA "coLoNELs."

The Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution says:
eve want il distinctly understood be-
fore we proceed any further that we are
friend OF the colonel-that is to say,
we are friend of the colonel if he is not
q military colonel. A military colonel
has no right to the title. He may have
earned it in the war, right in front OF
the cannon's mouth, but more peaceful
days have dawned upon us, and now we
have the insurance colonel, the sewing
machine colonel, the dry goods colonel,
the commission colonel, the grocery col
onel, the newspaper colonel' and the
lawyer colonel; You may pick your col
onel from any pile you choose and we'll
stand up proptly. .and ssy we admire him,
There is honor in the tiJle, and we take
pleasure in bestowing it upon friend and
foe alike. To be a man and not be
colonel, (unless indeed, you were pro-
NOTED during the war; is something
preposterous. We can conceive of no
such misfortune as that which prevents
man from becoming a colonel in his
own right. There Is no law in the stat
ute book against it, and il there were it
would be a dead letter. Every county,
every community, and every family
would cry out against the injustice OF an
enactment depriving them OF their us
think there ought to be law passed
comforting the title of colonel upon ev-
cry male child over twelve years of age,
without regard to color or previous
condition. In that case all men would
be colonels and the women colonelesses,
Here is the true line of progress. While
colonels are in fashion let us make the
most of them. Let us utilize them, as
it were, for the purpose OF advancing
civilization. 1t is idle for men who
have no titles TO sneer at those who
have. What would Georgia do without
her one hundred thousand colonels
Without its colonels what a weak and
vapid body the legislature would be.
All, no! let us cling 70 our colonels. In
stead of wedding them out let us en-
deavor TO nurture those we have and
invite others through the medium of
agents. What Georgia needs is more col,
onels'

BIRDS IMPRISONED IN A TREE

L. Page and son were cutting wood on
Albright's place in the foothills, near
San Jose. They had noticed for several
days that number of birds remained
constantly upon tree near them, some
going and some from time to time
Upon cutting down the tree they dis
covered limb with a hollow cavity
some two feet in length and three or four
inches in diameter, in which were two
full-grown birds of a larger species.
There was a small aperture, through
which the birds were supplied with food
by their mates. The limb was cut and
the birds liberated. Neither of them was
able TO fly, having evidently never been
out of their Imprisonment. How they
got inside is question. 1t is more than
probable that the mother bird was small;
and though able to make her nest in the
hollow of the tree and rear her young,
could not extricate them, and that they
did not gain strength enough to help
themselves untilthe hollow was so closed
that escape was impossible. Tho5e who
have examined the birds think that they
are about two years old. They had been
fed from their birth by their bird fellows
through the aperture in the limb of the
tree. A nobler instance of devotion
even the human family never exhibited

SUICIDE IN CHATHAM CoUNrY.-With
regret we announce the unhappy end of
Mrs. Mary Boyd, wife of MIR w, j.
Eoyd, near Merry Oaks, in Chatham
county, on Tuesday last For several
months, past Mrs. Boyd has given way 10
melancholy, and her health became i'm
paired thereby. On the day OF the tragic
decd she exhibited some slight indica-
mons of lunacy, and a grown daughter
was cautioned to remain in the house
with her clsely. About u o'clock Mrs.
Boyd called for the bureau keys, and in
a few moments afterwards walked into
the garden. A half an hour afterwards
Mr.. Boyd came in from the field and
asked where had Mary gone, as he saw
her passing through the garden into a
pine thicket short distance below. The
daughter then related what had occur
red, when both went in search of the
hapless woman. She was found in the
thicket with her throat cut from ear TO
ear and a razor cienched in her RIGHT
hand. There is no other cause than
lunacy assigned for the rash act. as She
always lived happily with her husband
and was devoted to Ger childern.-R0IeigI

PLATE GLASS.

Mons. Auguste Colbert, Commissioner
of Belgium to the Centennial Exposition,
and Mons. Brassier, manager of large
plate glass establishment in Belgium,
have for the past two or three days been
in consultation in this city with num-
Der OF capitalists of this State in relation
to starting a mandatory at Hunting
don in the Juniata Valley, where are to
be found coal, limestone, glass and, and
fire-clay in abundance-everythi which
is needed in the manufacture of plate
glass, except soda ash. which is brought
from England. Plans have been submit
ted and discussed, and it is thought the
business will be finally settled to-day
Already 100000 have been raised at
Huntingdon as stock subscription. 1t
has not yet been decided whether the
works will be built single, at cost of
S225,0 900, or double, at a cost of $3.50, 600.
1t is probable, however, that the single
works will be agreed upon as a starter
The works will be entirely different from
anything in America, and glass will be
manufactured equal to that imported
from Belgium. Belgian workmen will
brought here in order to teach Ameri-
can mechanics how to make the glass
The controlling interest will be in the
hands of Pennsylvanians, but Belgian
capitalists will be almost as fully repre-
sented inIthe ownership.-Phila. Telegraph.
