Not Remarkable.

Instances are frequently reported OF the al
most instan ntaneous effect, in entirely stopping
it, of Ponds Extract for bleedings from cuts,
bruises, and from the nose, lungs, etc, etc.
Although this is not remark able, yet it is not
claimed that it will always act SO powerfully
on the instant as to stop the most serious hem
orrhage at once, but it is claimed, and it Is
proved in the practice OF physicians and 9TH
ers, that perseverance in It's use will stop the
most obstinate cases Of bleeding from what
ever cause.

Now that the railroads are getting
their trains in motion and will soon be
moving the accumulated freight to the
full extent OF their carrying power, the
people have one demand TO make, and
that Is that there be no more freight
wars and no more carrying treight. for
almost nothing to keep Arrival line from
getting i. just here is one great cause
Of all the trouble. BY this course,
which has prevailed to such an extent,
every one is the loser, and there is no
advantage gained by the road, the
fYeighter, or the business public. These
contests have disguised the people with
many of the present railroad managers,
ana convinced them that notwithstand-
ing the immense salaries paid by the Com.
panies to their officials, the right kind OF
business talent is still wanted. The in.
terest of the commercial community is
advanced by STEADY and uniform freight
rates. Nogood business man thanks the
railroads for big cut in his favor. Il

~ what advances the general interest,
and that fiuctuating freight rate, like
an unstable currency, helps to unsettle
business and create confusion where
there is no need of it. Besides, when
road attempts to carry freight below a
profitable rate, there must come a crash
somewhere, and the public is sure to
suffer. This is the case whether the
result be the crushing out of a rival
line, revolt OF poolly-paid employees,
or financial wreck Of the low-rate com.

these periodical wars between the
roads, and If the railroad managers are
not able to do this, then they should be

TURKISH ENTHUSIASM.
[Constantinope Correspondence Of the New
York MarcnrYl

[Constantinop,e Correspondence OF the New
York Mercury
The Turkish heart is being fired here
to an extent never before known in this
country. Everything is done by the
government to make the people regard
this as religious war Orders have
been issued by the Minister OF Police,
countersigned by the Sheik- ul- Islam.
and which have been proclaimed from
every mosque In the Turkish quarter OF
the town, calling upon all Mohamme-
dams to abiure all foreign and Christian
ideas. It is claimed in this order that
during the past ten years, owing to for
eign influence and the desire to initiate
customs of other people, the religious
fervor OF the MussuImans has entered
upon a state Of apathy which must be
abandoned at once. The neglect in OBJ
serving these time honored religious
commands, it is alleged has had the most
d eplorable effect upon the entire Turk
ish nation. The faithful are, therefore,
called upon to punctually observe all
religious commands, and assemble
punctually at the various mosques at
the first call for prayer. 1t is peremp-
torily enjoined upon all Mussulmans to
wear their hair and beard as OF old, and
not to permit European fashion to
have also been issued to the fair sex.
They are first upbraided for permitting
the veil (Jaschmak) to be so thin Of late
their features can be easily recognized
upon the public streets. They are
ordered, therefore, to at once procure
wells of thicker material, SO as to prevent
any one from gazing through them.
The wide mantle which covers their
undercIothing and lower extremities
must be cut in accordance with old
Turkish regulations. The use Of French
shoes is peremptorily forbidden. Strict
orders have also been issued forbidding
the women of Constantinople from per-
ambulating the streets, or to tarry in
front of French shops and stores, and
especially not to enter the stalls in the
various baZars.

The New York Herald is generally
right. but sometimes wrong. In q late
instance 1t got the cart before the horse.
In speaking Of the Lerdo affair.". or
Mexican invasion, it says: There Is q
loose in Texas or other Southwestern
States waiting for settlers to buy
it; and the owners of this land
understand very well that the
annexation of the Northern line OF Mexi-
ean States, which would lead to their
rapid settlement, would give, in COM
rnercial phrase, q black eye to great
deal OF Texas and other Southwestern
real estate, and would lower It's com
mercial value for many years to come.
Public opinion in those States, there
fore, does not favor invasion OF North
ern Mexico with q view Of temporal
ACKNOWLEDGMENT"
That "black eye" would not set Texas
back in the slightest degree. Along the
Rio Grande, on the American side, there
are as productive lands as any in the
United States. And yet they remain in
their natural condition, and they can
be bought by the league for ten or
fifteen cents an acre. Why? Because
everything one would attempt to raise
there would be stolen by the lazy Next
can greasers, who had much rather
steal than work. For distance OF $50
miles north Of the Rio Grande they
have for years been stealing, robblng
and numbering, and nothing In the i'm
mediate vicinity of Mexico in that quar-
ter would be safe. From Brazos San
tiago to Roma, on the Rio Grande. no
one outside of Brownsville, Edinboro,
Rio ,Grande City, Roma and one or
two other smaller towns, has been
able to settle and cultivate the land
and raise stock on account OF the THEY
ing propensities of the Mexican popula-
ton across the river, who will not WORK
while they can steal enough to live on.
Then extend the conquest and take In
the northern tier Of Mexican counties
or districts, and thus force this thieylng
population further back or into prison,
and those lands on the Rio Grande
which cannot be sold for ten or fifteen
cents an acre would bring from S. to $40
an acre from Brownsville to Roma, and
even higher up the river.
Nothing would please the land owners
better on the Rio Grande than to have
that "black eye" administered. It
would enable them to sell rich lands
which have lain idle ever since Texas
became independent OF Mexico; and to
force these Mexicans back from the Rio
Grande, not less than $4,000 volunteers
can be found in Texas alone, with Il
months notice.
Wild cane grows all along the Rio
Grande. and where the wild cane grows
spontaneously the sugar cane can be
cultivated, and lands which will raise
cane are worth $50 per acre. Wherever
cane will grow, cotton will grow also; ;
and lands that will produce a bale to, the
acre are worth. on q navigable river
bottom, that does not overflow, Ii Ike the
Rio Grande, $25 per acre all the time in
their natural condition. ALI the Rio
Grande section requires is protection to
render it one of the most productive re.
gions In the United States.
