The Comlna Lady of tho White HOus

Mrs. Hayes is handsome, refined and
kindly matrOn, dark eyed and blsck haired.
Her hOme she is said to make cOZy and COM
Portable rather than pretentiO6s. There
is an amusing story told of her visit to her
husbands camp in 1863 In one of the
companies of his regiment was a good
natured, unsophistiested soldier named
Parker, who, before Mrs. Hayes arrival
was known, was lamenting to his comrades
the fact that there was nobody in camp 10
mend and put pockets in his ragged blouse,
One of them replied: "Why don't you take
it TO the woman who does the sewing for
the regiment and get her to fix iti" Didn't
know there was such q woman; where is
sheY" asked Parker. "She's up in the
cOlOnels TENT" said his comrade, land if
you'll take your blouse up there she
mend it for you. That's what she's here
for" Parker at once started for the
ColOnel's tent, blouse in hand. Colonel
Hayes politely returned his salute, invited
him in and inquired what he wanted. he
replied that he wanted his blouse mended
and pockets put in it, and that he under
stood there was q woman there to do sew
ing for the regiment. With q merry twin
kle in his eyes, the Colonel called to Mrs.
Hayes and asked her if she could do the
work. She promptly took it and told Par
ker TO call for 1t 10 the afternoon. Parker
returned to his comrades and told them
how the Colonel received him, and how
kindly the woman undertook the work, and
they could hardly tell where the Joke was.
And when, later in the day, Parker ap-
peared with his blouse neatly mended and
two ample pockets in it, he was the hero Of
his company.

The Russo. Turkish Question.
A dispatch to Reuters Telegram Compa-
ny from Constantinople, dated Wednesday
evening, says:
ApprehensIons of rupture continue to
diminish. 1t seems probable, from the more
o0ncilistory feeling now prevalent, that the
Porte will not reject the proposals of the
powers.
Plenipotentiaries also seem disposed to
make further slight concessions. IT these
anticipations are realized negotiations will
be resumed tomorrow. 1t is believed that
pacific solution of the Eastern question
may be looked for.
The Standards dispatch from Belgrade
says Russia IS unwilling to enter into any
engagement directly with ServlA. This is
considered concession to Austria.
All Russian officers in Servis are ordered
to join the army at Kishinef.
The Russian telegraphic agency has dis
patch dated st. Petersburg, Wednesday
afternoon, stating that the Porte's refusal
ia considered certain, and General Ignatetf
has telegraphed to Sabastopol for the i'm
perial yacht Herichk.
The Times special correspondent at
Vienna telegraphs that the Turkish Cabinet
counsel to decide on the POrte's answer was
held on Tuesday; on Wednesday the Turkish
ambassador at Vienna called at the foreign
office and conveyed q telegram from the
Porte, on sceount of which Turkey is un.
able to accept The basis on the proposals of
the powers drawn up.
The Berlin Times CORES pondent says:
Notwithstanding serious Turkish affairs at
COnstantinople, no immediate rupture is
apprehended. 1t is quite certain that
Mdhst Pssha is ready 10 fight if he must,
and that Russia does not wish to fight ii
avoidable.
1t is positively stated that Austrias repre-
sentative at the conference are instructed
to leave Constantinople if the Porte does
not accep the proposals..
A dispatch from Constantinople TO Reu-
ter's Telegram Company announces that
decree has been published designating the
purposes to which the new issue of paper, TO
the amount OF 100000 Turkish pounds, is
to be applied The principal of these are
urgent expenditures Of the government and
the liquidation OF portion of the floating
debt.
At to-day's sitting of the conference Sau-
fet Pasha read a statement of the motives
in support Of the Turkish counter proposals
and explanations in detail of the & ounds
for opposing portions of the proposals vi
the powers.
The European pleDipotentiaries have
nevertht less endeavored to induce the
Turks to agree to debate upon the points
which have been rejected by the Pc to-
The European plenipOtentiaries had them
selves opened discussion upon some Of these
points when conference adjourned. 1t was
to meet again next M, ndsy. In the mean
while the plenipotentiaries will continue to
use their influence to make the Porte I'M
derstand that a modification of proposals
can only be brought about by further dis
cussions.

A New CornI Ronnnzn.

A rich find is that of the United States
steamer Gettysburg, of a coral reef off the
coast of Spain. The existence of the reef
had hitherto been entirely unsupported,
but this is not strange when it is considered
that soundings 1T point twenty miles to
the westward are only found ct the great
depth of 1880 feet, and at 10 900 feet
between the eastern border of the reef and
Cape Vincent off the southern coast of Por-
tugal. The coral beds Of the Mediterranean
have given employment and lucrative prof
its to the Italians for ceut uries, ana are
carefully protected by the government,
being divided into ten patcheH, only one OF
which is permitted TO be worked each
decade, 80 as to give the remainder the
necessary length Of years to regain their
growth. Coral is worth more than its
weight in gold The coral of commerce re.
sembles leailess shrub, with stout
anches, or an exaggerated licben, and ia
usually sought at depths of from sixty to
$50 feet. Of the coast of Sardinia fine
specimens are found, of yellow or saffron
color, while the coral of the African or Bar
barry coast is almost invariably of a deep
red or crimson shade. The white and rose
p;uk iints are most valued in Europe and
America, while in the Orient the deeper
shades are preferred. The coral imported
into The United States exceeds in valne
$500, 600 per annum, but as it is almost in
variably brought here in finished shape,
it appears in the list of imports as ieweiry
or precious stones. The chief seats of man
ufactHre are Naples, Marseilles and Paris.
A few years since an enterprising American
discovered process by which coral could
be closely initiated, and at q cost far
below the real article. The imitation con-
sists in combining collodiOn and cam
phor gum under certain conditions of
heat and pressure and the resulting com.
pound, properly tinged with the requisite
colo, forms an artificial coral known to the
trade as ctlluloid, which has become quite
popular in the form of jewelry, beads, trim
mings, etc. The real coral, however, is not
aft cted in price and must continue to COM
nand ready sale. AS an evidence of
American enterprise it is given out that a
company is already organizing to work the
reef discovered by the Gettysburg, and an
ingenious Yankee has already perfected
machinery and apparatus to lift the sub
marine wealth to the surface. An approx
mate idea Of the prospective profits may be
formed when it Is known that a single ton
of pure pink coral of the finest grade AZ its
pre- sent valuo would be worth 81 ,O00, 900.
From the reports received it is not unlikely
that the wonderful rect will WELD many
tons of pure coral Boston Transcript.
