Something About San Stefano,

San Stefano, where the peace negotia-
tions between Russia and the porte were
conducted, is under the shadow of the
old walls, which have not been besieged
for 400 years. Close by are the seven
towers, within whose massive keep a
Russian AMBASSADOR has often been inn
prisoned, and the walled-up gate through
which the Moslems expect that the chris
tians will re-enter Constantinople when
they recapture it. Here, too, according
to London Standard correspondent, is
the chapel in whose devoutly wor-
shipped wells live the miraculous fish
which jumped out of the frying pan on
the day of the taking of Constantinople,
and have lived until now with one side
cooked and the other waiting until, in
the fullness of things, it can in its turn
be submitted to the fire. During the
massacre of Ohio a number of Greek
children who had been carried off by the
Turks were ransomed and afterwards
educated by a philanthropic society
One of these boys, who was ransomed
and educated by Americans, has become
wealthy householder at San Stefano.
1t was under the roof of this Chiote ex-
lie, who had been trained by American
missionaries, that the conqueror of Tur-
key, the Grand Duke Nicholas, received
shelter while the diplomatists were chat
tering over the conditions of peace

Registrar of the Treasury.

The registrar of the treasury, famil-
iarly known as "Uncle John" Allison,
died in his bed of apoplexy, recently.
This is the second death from apoplexy
that has occurred among the heads of
bureaus in the treasury department
within the month. Mr.. Allison was a
member of the Thirty-Uhird and Thirty
fourth congresses, and has been an officer
in the treasury department since, acting
as registrar for the last ten years. The
duties of the registrar are that of book
keeper of the government. He records
every receipt and disbursement, and pre-
pares all financial statements made by
the secretary. He signs and issues all
notes, bonds and securities of the gov
eminent, and without his signature
every paper representing money is value
less. Uncle Johns name, written in a
small, girlish hand, has signed docu-
ments representing millions upon
millions of dollars. He was portly old
gentleman, old-fashioned in his ways,
but more generally popular than any
other official in the treasury. His memo
ry was wonderful and as accurate as his
books. His honesty and efficiency were
never questioned

The Dernier Resort.

In a Scotch town the lads of school
acquired the habit of smoking. and re-
sorted to the most ingenious methods to
conceal the habit from the master. In
this they were successful, until one even
ing, when the master caught them puff
ing most vigorously. Chow now?"
shouted he to one of the culprits
" How dare you to be smoking?"

headaches, and pipe takes off the
pain" !" And you? and you? and
your" inquired the pedagogue, ques-
tioning every boy in his turn. One had
a "raging tooth" another "colic; !"
in short, they all had something for
which the weed was an unfailing remedy.
Now, sirrah!" beloved the master to
the last boy. "Pray, what disorder do
you smoke for?" Alas, all the excuses
were exhausted; but the INTERCEPTED
urchin, putting down his pipe, and look
ing up in his masters face, said in a
whining, hypocritical tone, "Sir, /

especially when they heard the shrieks
OF the little girl, and burst upon the
door,
The first object that presented itself
was the face of the robber, violently up
turned from beneath the bed, and with
protrudlng tongue and eyeballs; the next
was the form of Mrs. Martin in the posi-
ton we left her. She was still pulling
with both hands at the scarf, and glaring
wildly towards the head of the bed. The
ohlld had thrown its arms around her
neck, and was crying; but she paid no
attention. The terror of that dreadful
night had driven her mad.

COOPERATIVE
NEWSPAPERS,

Between two and three thousand newspapers in the
United States printed upon hat is known ~ the
Cooperative plan. Nearly forty cent of all the
weekties adopt this method. 1t makes a better pa

The system maintains a competition with the home
printed country journals to such that none
but those firmly Established and backed up by
mutations of former prosperity able to stand be-
side it, and in the matter of advertising it offers
culation at price with which the great weekles
unable to compete. The matter has become OF vital
Importance, aud the New York Times journal hav-
