LONDON, August ia CONSTANT
nople correspondent of the Times,
who telegraphs 10y way OF Syria, says
it ia stated on good authority, that
Musuraes pasha, the Turkish am bas-
sador at London, recently wrote to the
porte that he had reason TO believe
the British government would shortly
ask authorization for their tleet to
enter the Bosphorus in certain c0ntin-
gencies In order TO protect the chris.
tians. The porte replied that she could
only enter as All avowed ally OF Turkey.
1t is also asserted, though on doubt
tul authority, that this reply was with
drawn on account Of the remonstrance
OF Mr., Layfed, British minister at
Constantin0ple.
a ConstautinOple dispatch to the
Times, by the way OF Syria, says :
"Yuur correspondent ut Karsbunor,
writes that appalling accounts continue
to come in, of the misery existing in
the district devastated by the Bashi
Bazouks and Bulgarians. Thousands
Of women and children are homeless
and perishing for want of shelter, med
zeal attendance and food. Immediate
help in the largest possible scale Is
most severely needed. The pasta in
com maud here proposes to distribute
the fugllives about ConstantinOple,
Adrianople and Phillopot, but no ar
Engagements have been made to relieve
them. The correspondent suggests the
formation OF a city Of refugees on an
island near Constantinople, under the
protection OF neutral guarantee from
the belligerants. Thousands Of people
are homeless, their crops rottiDg on
the ground and no sort OF provision Is
made for winter.
The BulgaTians are behaving much
in the same way as the Bashi Baz-
ouks. IL will be impossible for the
Christians aud MOhammedans ever to
live again in the disturbed districts,
even IL the Russians are successful.
fhe Russians are severely condemned
for their conduct IN first instigating
the Bulgarians to revolt, and then
Leaving them to the mercy OF the
Turks, whose right to treat them as
rebels is hard to question.
As further evidence of more enllght.
ened policy of the PUrte TOWARDS for
eigners, the services Of Colonel Baker
have been secured 10y Lieutensnt-Gen-
eral Mehemet ali aud he has gone TO
the front with three other well-known
English Officers.
The Times Armenian correspondent
writes that the stories Of Russian
atrocities In Armenian are utterly I'M
true. The Russians throughout have
behaved well, but the irregulars are
guilty of atrocities past belief, In
spite of the laudable efforts OF Mouhtar
pusha to restrain them.

A western paper, which has long

Ex-PREsIDENT GRANT.-Since Gen. Grant
has been in England he has done more
speech-making than ever before, and he
has done it remarkably well. too. Here
is what he said to delegation of working
men that waited on him the other day:
Whatever there is of greatness in the
United States, as, indeed, in any other
country, is due to labor. The laborer is
the author of all greatness and wealth.
Without labor there would be no govern
ment or leading class or nothing to pre-
serve. With us labor is regarded as highly
respectable When it is not so regarded it
is because man dishonors labor. We re-
cognize that labor dishonors no man, and
no matter what mans occupation is, he
is eligible to fill any post in the gift of the
people; his occupation is not considered
in selecting, whether as a law maker or as
an executor of the law"

ToMAToEs-How TO RAISE THEM.-The
French mode of raising tomatoes is as
follows: GAS soon as a cluster of flowers is
visible, they top the stem down to the
cluster, which soon push strongly and
produce another cluster of flowers each.
When these are visible, the branch to
which they belong is also topped down to
their level; and this is done five times sue
cessively. By this means the plants
become stout dwarf bushes, not above Is
inches high. In order to prevent their
falling over, sticks or strings are stretched
horizontally along the rows, 50 as to keep
them erect. In addition to this, all laterals
that have no flowers, and after the fifth
topping, all laterals whatever are nipped off.
In this way the ripe sapis directed into fruit,
which require beauty, size and excellence
unattainable by other means"

A singular coincidence occurred recently
at Canton, Mass. Mrs. Ann Draper, aged
about 70 years was perusing the fourteenth
chapter of the book of Job. After reading
the 5th verse, she paused, with the re-
mark, that her head felt strangely. The
verse is as follows: "Seeing his days are
determined, the number of his months are
with thee; thou hast appointed his bounds,
that he cannot pass" Immediately, upon
finishing this, Mrs. Draper lost conscious
ness, and death was almost instantaneous.
