Pencil Sketches i'm the East.
From the Louisville Courier-Journa

FROM the Louisville COurier-Journal.
Here are some light sketches from the
pencil of an English traveller in the East,
few months ago, that have lost none of
their interest by the developments of
last week Or two. Instead Of going to
Constantinople through the Sea of Mar
mora, this traveller had gone to Varna,
and come down the Black Sea into Bos-
phorus. He was approaching CONSTANT
nOple, when he caught this glimpse of the
Grand Vizier:
No wonder the crowd of provincial
Turks, who had made their beds On deck,
rolled up their mattresses, and with their
many-colored garments somewhat sad
dened by the discomft Of the voyage, col
lected into groups as soon as the morning
broke to watch the scene with curiosity
and pride, for it's beauty called on deck
a highly cultivated Pasha, who was re-
ceived with respect on coming On board
the night before The attention to him
would, no boubt, have been doubled had
it been foreseen that three months would
make him first subject of the Empire;
and the unconcealed exultation of that
courteous gentlemen with the close gray
beard and quick glance through his
double gold eye-glass, who spoke French
SO perfectly, must, now that he is Grand
Vizler, be taken as factor in politics.
He pointed out the apparent signs Of
wealth and prosperity with the evidently
implied question trembling on his lips
is this the look of man sick beyond
recovery With Edhem Pasha as a
statesman [ have nothing, however, now
to do, and merely take an artists liberty
to paint him in the foreground of my
picture. as [ CHANGED to find him."
And here, in Constantinople, is a
brief view of the process of making
Turkish soldiers:
con one side Of the way train of re-
cruits is landing from the Scutari boat,
The recruits are tattered and
travelworn; some of them have evidently
marched from the far interior of Asia
Minor to reach the rendezvous, and all
look as if the most meagre fare, both as
to quantity and quality, had been the
best they could obtain. They shuttle off
in uneven file toward Galatea; but it is
surprising how contented and alert they
will appear when they return few hours
hence equipped and armed as soldiers, and
on their way to the barracks in Siam
boul."

"You are welcome to Oaklands, sir, as
you ever have been.'
Courteous and calm was the welcome.
He looked surprised at her, as though he
had expected some grand outburst. But
few words passed between them on the
subject of his wife's death. She did
not urge it; he, probably from his deep
feeling, seemed to wish to avoid it.
Three weeks Louis de Brusle stayed at
the house with his stepdaughter; then he
went. That calm courteousness was un-
pleasant to him, perhaps. In any case,
he went to London there to spend his
mourning-time more consolingly than he
possibly could have done at Oaklands
with his wife's child.

IT is stated that a great and anony-
nous literary genius is about to burst
upon the world in book called GA
Modern Minister" Several months ago
the Blackwoods received the manuscript
of novel, to be brought out in monthly
parts, from an author who declined to
communicate his Cor herr name or sex.
In all the negotiations which have since
passed between them this incognito has
been strictly preserved. This within has
precedents. Not until long after they
had published her first work were Messrs.
Blackwood acquainted with the identity
of George Elliot.
A FRENCH blacksmith filled large
tube with hammers, chisels, bits of lead,
iron, and gulpowder; then put his head
in one extremity, and applied hot bar
of iron to the other. The result was
that he knocked oAhis head and blew up
his forge.

male line OF the FREEBOOTER, Rurlk, whose
dynasty had furnished ffty-six sover-
eigns, and endured seven centuries be-
came extinct. For many years the
country was ruled by the tyrant Boris,
and afterwards became the prey of an
archy till 1913, when the national spirit
took fire, and Michael Romanof (Ro-
manow), a descendent in the female line
from the house Of Rurik, was after Sc
we're struggle, placed on the throne From
him the present ruling dynasty is di-
rectly descended. Athis death, in 1915,
he was succeeded by his son Alexis.
This sovereign was twice married, and
left sons by both wives-Feodor and
Ivan by the first, and Peter by the Sec
ond. Feodor reigned from 1916 to 1852,
and, dying without issue, was succeeded
by Ivan and Peter as joint sovereigns
under the guardianship of Sophia, Ivan's
full and, of course, Peters half-sister.l
Ivan was weak both in mind and in
body, and Sophia endeavored, by exclud-
ing Peter from all rule, to monopo-
lie the whole powers Of the
Government. The attempt proved
failure; Sophia was confined in a
monastery, lVaH dDulCatee, anu oooi, III
1859, became sole Gar. Neither his prl-
vate nor his public life is free from
blemish; but when the state III which
he found Russia is contrasted with that
in which he left it, it must be admitted
that no sovereign ever acquired by
ulster title the surnames OF Great and
Father of his Country.

HIGH-HANDED RIOTING.

Concerning the strike of the employees of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railway Company and
the bold and defiant attitude of the strikers,
dispatch dated Baltimore July II says:
special to the Evening News from Mar
tinsburg, West Virginia, dated 1890 says:
The rioters are still firm and determined, and
the presence of the military only serves to
further exasperate them. The town is wild
with excitement, and the strikers and their
friends-numbering at this time fully LOCO
men-are marching about bidding defiance TO
the military and authorities. Some 70 Or 30
engineers are congregated here and none are
allowed to depart. A committee from the
striking irenen has notified the engineers
that IN case any engineer shall attempt to
take train out OF town he will be immedl-
ately shot. At noon cattle train, bound for
Baltimore, attempted TO start, whereupon the
rioters hocked on board and with drawn re-
volrers placed at the head of the engineer
and fireman, compelled them to run the train
into the stock yard, where the cattle were un-
loaded. The passenger trains are not inter
fered with, as the strike is entirely confined
to the freight trains. So far the strikers have
everything their own way and the military
are passive and awaiting further orders from
the governor, which, up to this time, have
not come.
Twas not thus when John Brown with
three white men, seventeen niggers and
COW" captured the US. Government arsenal
at Harpers Ferry and scared Virginia out OF
her seven senses. When Governor Wise got
his breath he mustered the militia of the old
Dominion, and there was stir and hot haste
and the jangling of arms. But railroad prop
erty is one thing; slave property was Of an
other sort So Governor Matthews holds his
war horses while the mob throttles one of
the most important railway companies in the
Republic. But West Virginia is not the old
Dominion-and there are Virginians and
West Virginians. We prefer to take ours
straight--if Matthews is sample of the quail
fled sort.

THE SOLID SOUTH.

In the Hall of Eblis were many men and
women, each direfully possessed of cancer
or other fell disease. But theya all went about,
chatting with one another, in cheerful gulse,
each as by common consent ignoring the
others mortal ailment. This silence was not
the result of any definite prearrangement. 1t
was the silent expression of painful tacit
understanding-the heart breaking decorum
Of the lazar house The New York Tribune
has found out that the solid South will not
tolerate any such an offense as the Republican
party. In other words, after having wrought
strenuously for years to bring about the very
state of affairs which exists today in the con-
federacy (the Republican organization having
disbanded there), the Tribune is suddenly as
tonished to find that the South has relapsed
into its old attitude of intolerance toward all
opposition to its one precious set of cardinal
notions in politics. In the days before the
war there used to be Wing party and
Democratic party at he South. They might
talk of the tariff, discuss the Bank, debate the
Question of Internal improvements But
like the inmates of the Hall of Elbis there
was one matter which must never be men
toned. That was the question of slavery
Parties might divide, debate, be hot in oppo-
sition and keen in rivalry, but neither of
them be an anti slavery party. There was no
such party there. If an individual were
too brave to be bullied, like Cassius NJ. Clay,
he was laughed at as an eccentric. But let
no Northern born Abolitionist speak any
word there let no free-soiler venture to air
his convictions at the peril of a coating of tar
and feathers. The Tribune is mistaken.
There is room enough for two parties at the
South and in all likelihood there will ere
long be developed two parties there But
they will be twoSouthern parties. The hands
of both will be instantly joined against any
man or party which shall seek to assert ma
tionalisln and the constitutional amendments
in the South. Mr. John Randolph Tucker
of the Sixth Congressional District of Virginia
has already sounded the key note He bravely
told the truth for his side when he fatty dis
puted, on the floor of the House that this is 4
nation And any party at the South which
SAYS that this is nation flies in the face of
the Lost Cause, and that is what they will
not tolerate. The Republican party is an in
suit to every loyal Southerner-and by loyal
Southerner, we need hardly say, We mean a
native of the South who is loyal to the Solid |
South. And theirs is the present victory, for
they have President of the United States |
bound hand and foot The mOmentous cues
ton is, Shall that victory be perpetuated

from the diary OF woman in Constantinople
relating to affairs in that city. 1t is scarcely
possible, she says, to conceive the distress
that prevails among the Mohammedan popu-
lstion or the patriotism with which it is
bourne. All the able bodied men are sent
away to serve as soldiers without pay, and
their wives have to support themselves and
their families on two piasters day, which is
the current rate of women's wages, while the
price of bread is now four piasters for three
pounds. Many families used to live on the
dividends of Turkish stock These families
are entirely ruined, and others, though not
absolutely destiaute, have suffered immense
losses. There are in Constantinople %, 900
officials, most of them with families, and they
have not received any pay since the beginning
of the war, not even in paper money, on
which there is a loss of eighty per cent.
