A EcrOciOus PrOnunciamentO.

The imperial archives at Vienna contain
the declaration Of war which Sultan Mo-
hammed w, or, as he called himself,
"Mola ,Mohammed," issued some two
hundred years ago to the German empe-
roE Leopold, and the king of. Poland.
This curious document reads as fol-
lows:
By the grace of God, the Ruler of
heaven, We, Mola Mohammed, God on
earth, glorious and omnipotent emperor
of Babylon and Judea, of the Orient and
the Occident, King of all Kings on earth
and in heaven, Great King of Holy Arabia
and Mauritania by our birth glory crown
ed King of Jerusalem, Owner and Master
Of the grave of Christ, the crucifed God
rof the Infidels, pledge our sacred word to
Thee the Caesar of Rome, and to Thee, the
King of Poland, and to all thy partisans,
as we'll as to the red Cock of Rome (the
pope),his cardinals, bishops, and all his
other many-colored assistants, and an
nounce that we are about to invade thy
small realm in war, and that we shall
bring with us Is Kings and 100000
soldiers, both infantry and cavalry; and
that with this army, ofwhich neither thou
nor thy partisans ever had any concep-
ton, we shall without mercy or pity tread
thy small realms under the hoofs of our
horses, and hand it over to fire and pill
lage. And first of all we command Thee
to wait us in thy capital city Of Vienna,
in order that we there may have thy head
cut off. And thou, also, little King of
Poland, do thou the same. We shall ex-
tirpate thee and all thy partisans by muir;
der, robbery, fire, rapine, and pillage and
cause the very last creature of God, if it
be Giaour, to disappear from Earth. We
shall commence, by exposing Old and
Young to- the most cruel Itort&lres, and
then put them ANONYMOUSLY to death.
Thy little realm we will take away from
thee and destroy also that of the Red
Cock and sweep from the earth the entire
population and thee and the King of Po-
land we will permit to live until you shall
be convinced that we have carried out all
we have announced herein. This We say,
that you may take notice thereof. Given
in our majesty's capital and residence at
Stamboul, the city that has 1869 streets
and lanes, 1870 squares, 115 public build
ings, 1876 inns for: harboring strangers,
l,OOO Daths, 09O fountains, 1862 small
and large schools, 1000 mills, and 4,122
mosques. This large and strong city
covers space of four square miles and
is adorned by $50 turrets, This city my
ancestors have by force of arms taken
away from the 1ntidels, having first ravish-
ed and then massacred all women and
children. And in defiance to the Giaours
we shall henceforth keep and maintain
this city. Given in the twenty fifth year
of our life and the seventh of our omnip-
otent reign. MOLA MOHAMMED, Mp.

The Way . Kansas Lover Handled Ills
Sweetheart's Father.


The Below family, on Twentieth street,
have settled. their disputes, and conse-
qucntly there will be no more revenue
derived by the city from semi-occasional
fines from the paternal head of the fam
lily. The difficulties. have been as fol-
lows: David T. Bellcw, teacher of
languages and telegraph operator, mar
ried the widow Of an aged but rcspecta-
:ble merchant of Terre Haute, Ind, about
three years ago. Bellcw had been tutor
to Miss Dora, the eldest, and Miss. Nettie
G., tile youngest Of old Glassner's; family,
Soon" after his marriage he removed with
his wife to Kansas City, wher: he en-
gagged in the dairying and market garden
business. Considerable property is said
to have been purchased, but as to this
nothing definite is known.
Bellew proved to be a worthless, lazy
character, and q nuisance to the southern.
end of theScity. About three weeks ago
Mrs. Below went back t0 Terre Haute an
invalid, leaving her oldest daughter Dora
in charge of the family affairs. This
young lady, it appears, held a right and
title to the Seventeenth street property.
It was her own by her own individual
right, having been purchased with her
own money in the name Of trustee, and
held for her own use. Her drunken
stepfather had been source of great an
noyance and aggravation, for two or three
years past He has insulted the young
man who has been paying attention to
his stepdauglltcr, and in fact prevented
his visits to the house. Tuesday night,
however, the young ladies invited aRalf
dozen or more young friends to the house,
among them Mr.. Joe c. L., the afore-
said young suitor from Seneca, KS, tor
mertriend Of the family in Indiana. The
"old man" came home, about ten o'clock
with friend, but fidhing some strangers
present went out again-to :" the avenue
and broke up the party. -.
Not satisfied with this, Bellew attacked
his stcp-daughter in violent manner
: nd was. seconded by his drunken guest,
who, it is to- be regretted, stands hi h as
a citizen: The dilemma of the; Young
ladies' was apainful one, hut Miss Dora
was equal to the emergency. She re-
quested the young gentleman visiting
her to cxpcl the two drunken men. It
was done simultaneously and effectively,
both parties rolling promiscuously out
into the street,. Early on Friday morn
ing the courageous young lady was mar
ried to her choice, and within three hours
afterwards accompanied her husband to
court to answer to a charge of assault.
The old man is left out high and dry now.
The home which knew MIN once will
know him no more. The courageous
young lady has the best wishes Of the
Iimes-she solved family difficulty sue
cessfully. Everybody in the ''south endn
endorses the brave young girl in her
practical way Of e:ya&ing ;ssfamily quar-

ABUSES IN THE NEW YORK CUSTOM
House. New York Journal of
Commerce says:-Some of the abuses in
the charges and commission cases-with
which our importers are unhappity too
familiar--are startling. OF these abuses
the referee class is specially fagitious.
Mr.. French mentions the doings Of one
referee who makes bills of three or four
hundred dollars in each case against the
Government, for work that is no harder
than signing his name to certified state>
ments His average for superfuous
witness fees alone is about SIP per case
and his income from that source on all
the cases now before him would amount
to $4,000! The Secretary would stop
this Treasury leak by referring the whole
business to the Collector of this port
who could do it without extra charge,
though he might require a small tempo
rary increase of Custom-Hou clerks.
The Collector is at least likely to be as
honest as any of the referees, and he
does, or ought to, understand the case
better than any outside party. The
Secretary has reason to believe that large
numbers of judgments haye been DIS
honestly awarded by collusion with
minor Government officers. These he
proposes should be reopened and rigidly
Investigated, and that until this is done
the payment of appropriations for such
claims should be suspended, This course
would not prejudice honest plaintiffs in
the slightest degree, but iC would we
hope, prevent more frauds from being
consummated. But before any grear ad-
ditional security can be obtained by Mr..
Sherman's plan, the civil service at the
New York Custom House must be re :
formed. No material progress can be
made in the war against this variety of
claims until the Custom House force is
purged of the vsnality which has so long
prevailed there and in all the custom
houses of the country, and which is the
fountain and origin of most OF the cor
ruption of which the Government and
the merchants are in turn the victims.
When the Secretary is ready to recon-
mend the strict exclusion of politics from
the custom house and the running OF
those establishments on plain business
principles, and when Congress will
second his endeavors, then we shall begin
to have some faith in the defeat of the
legion of swindlDg claims.
