Gen. Grant and Charles O,Conor.

The Washington correspondent of
Western journal says: "The President
to-day, in conversation, alluded more in
detail to the interview between him and
Charles O'Conor on Sunday last.
O'Conor called ON the President with
Secretary Fish. The President had been
previously notified of the fact that
O'Connor desired an interview for the
purpose of paying his respects, and to
offer an apology for the expressions
made in letter written to friend many
years ago, which, in the heat of the cam
paign, was exhumed and for the first
time published. The language used was
that T" Grant was drunken Democrat,
picked out of the cutters of Galena by
the Repub lean party for the purpose of
ruling the nation" O'Conor told the
President that he could remember no
such letter, and would not deny that he
had written it If he did. He begged to
say that the charge was without founda-
ton i; that he never, of his own knowl-
edge, or from hearsay, had any informa-
ton upon which such an accusation could

of its existence from newspaper com

explanation ample, and was entirely sat

The Boy and the Panther.

The Colusa (Cal Sun tells the fol-

John Williams, aged 13, was ont hunting
near home, on Elk creek, when he ran
across a panther and gave him the bene-
fit of the contents of his rife The
panther made off, and the young man
loaded up again and gave him chase,
getting in another shot on him. This
time, however, the panther got out of
his sight, but he could see from the
blood that he had been bit. He went
home and dreamed all night, of course,
Of fighting panthers with a grizzly or
two thrown in to make it interesting.
Next morning, bright and early, he
gathered his gun, determined on finding
that panther. He got on the blood,
which he traced into hollow log. He
fired into the log, and then got an AK
and cut the panther out, finding him
still alive, but he finished him up and
dragged his trophy in triumph home.
An inspection showed that both balls OF
the previous evening had gone through
the panther's lungs. He was an i'm
mense fellow, measuring seven feet from
tin to tin"

MIDHAT PASHA'S FALL.
Why the Turkish Prime Minister De-
posed, and Banislhed from the Country.

Why the Turkish Prime Minister was De-
posed. and Banisihed from the Country.
The Constantinople correspondent of
the Pal Mall Gazette telegraphs as fol-
lows "The cause of Midhat Pasha's fall
dates from some time back The impe-
rious character of Midhat Pasha clashed
with the firmness of the Sultan, whose
liberal views went far ahead of Midhat's.
The constitution disappointed the Sultan
by the multiplicity of its reserves and
qualifications, and many warm discus
sions occurred between the sovereign and
Minister. The Sultan desired to intro
duce largely foreign element into the
Turkish administration, and especially to
employ Englishmen in leading positions
in all departments. His Majesty ex-
pressed this desire to Midhat Pasha very
strongly ON several occasions, and last
week took him sternly to task for not
having acted upon it. Midhat Pasha re-
peied curtly, and wrote subsequently to
the Sultan in undeferential terms. On
Friday last the Sultan sent for Midhat
Pasha, but the summons was not obeyed
On Saturday Midhat Pasha remained
home on the plea of indisposition
On Sunday the third summons was
disobeyed, but AIidhat Pasha attend
ed the council in the afternoon. Mean
while the police discovered a secret cor
respondence which showed that Midhat
Pasha was plotting for the overthrow of
the Sultan and his own nomination as
Dictator. On Monday peremptory
summons. brought Midhat Pasha to the
palace, suspecting nothing. On entering
he was arrested and his letters laid be-
fore him. There was no gainsaying the
evidence against him, and he asked for
mercy. A council of Minister'S was
called, and Midhat Pasha was offered the
choice OF leaving the country, or being
arraigned before tribunal on the charge
of high treason. He elected to leave the
country.
1.-The letters found disclosed that 3, 900
Ulemas were to have gone on Monday
night to the palace to demand the abdi-
cation of the Sultan. The fall of Midhat
Pasha will check no reforms, the Sultan
being determined to carry out the con-
stitution in it's fullest spirit.
Here is another version, given by the
Berlin correspondent Of the London
Times "Midhat Pasha's fall was oc-
casioned by his refusal to conclude peace
with Servia unless Turkey received guar
antees. AS resumption of hostilities
was probable in consequence Of this res
olute policy, the old Court party induced
the Sultan to supersede Midhat. Un-
less the Sultan changes his mind, Edhem
Pasha's administration will only pave the
way for Cabinet with a decidedly paci-
fic concession programme.
