1t is said that Osman Pasha has
been appointed to command the Sui
tan's palace. He remains also com.
mander of the army. The two an
nouncements are very important taken
together. In the first place, the power
of the commander of the army is alb
solute in the second place, Osman
has entire control of the Sultans per.
son and is virtually the Sultan. So
We find Osman Pasha, the man who
WAS captured by the Russians in the
last ditch Of Turkish resistance, the
virtual dictator of Turkish power.
The prestige is either against or in
favor of Russia. The Hero of Plevna,
is the Dictator of the Descendant of
Mahomet and it is shrewdly stated
he is the friend of Russia, as against
England.

A camel ranch is owned BY D.
Mather of Bastrop, Texas. He claim:
that camels are no more trouble t.
raise than horses or cattle. The colt:
for three or four days are rather ten
der and require close attention, but
after that they take their chances with
the rest of the herd. They are ex-
tremely dOcile, and as the females
give birth to colt every year they
are profitable, the animals selling,
when reared, at from 600 to $500
each. Mr.. Mather says a well broken
camel will travel more than one hun.

Seven years ago young lady Of
this city who was at that time a little
girl scarcely out Of short dresses, went
to Lowell. Massachusetts,. and other
New England towns. to visit relatives
and friends. While in Lowell she
met, mt the house of those she was
visiting, a young man of nineteen or
twenty wears Of aye named Charl.,s 4.
Blaidsdell. Blaidsdell paid her nu
particular attention Mt this time.
Soon afterward the Young lady left
Lowell and returned home. almost
forgetting that che had ever met the
person named. Four years ago this
fall while the young lady in question
was at school in Boston, BIaid>,lell
again appears. He called to see her
on several occasions and expressed a
desire to correspond with her when
she returned home. The request was
granted. The letters that passed
between the two were of a pleasant
nature, he never once limiting that he
wanted to marry. Last summer he
spoke of visiting this section and of
course the young lady invited him to
call and see her If he came.
Sometime in November last Blaids-
dell visited this city and remained
here about a week, during which he
met number of our Younger people
who became more or less acquainted
with him. He claimed to be an
attorney at Lowell and to enjoy a
splendid practice. The cards which
he gave to his friends read as follows ::

The Bishop of Manchester latel

The Bishop of Manchester lately
made a speech at the Cooperative
Congress in England, recommending
cooperative farming. He gave an
account of a cooperative farm near
Assington. which he visited in 1867,
after it had been in operation thirty.
seven years. 1t was started by John
Gurdon, the Squire of the village, in
1880. He rented to fifteen men sixty
acres at 50 an acre per annum, and
lent them 81, 600 for tools, stock, ma.
nure, &c. In 1867, they had long
previously paid the loan; had in.
creased their shareholders from fifteen
to twenty, and the amount of hired
land from sixty to one hundred and
thirty acres. for which they paid
81 600 year. The farm was managed
BY q committee of four, chosen by
ballot, portion going out every year.
The Bishop found the land in admira-
bic order, and the animals and poul.
try in excellent condition. In 1854
Mr.. Gurdon, finding the experiment
very successful, started thirty chosen
men on a second cooperative farm,
each contributing $3.50. He also
loaned them $1,000. They began
with seventy acres, but by 1867 were
hiring PIP acres at a rent of 81 ,625 a
year, and had $1,000 worth of stock,
besides having paid off the $1,000
loan and supported their families. The
Bishop thought that a class of cooper
alive agriculturalists would be a most
important and stable element in the
commonwealth, and the Earl of Ripon,
in a subsequent speech, said he had
also visited the farms and fully agreed
with him.

OUT OF SOAP.

The Potter fraud committee is out
Of funds, q very common occurrence
nowadays. 1t is stranded high and
dry ON the shoa! ot-not bankruptcy
but impecuniosity. Its impossible
for fraud committees to become bank
rupt, because they are not responsible
for any kind of liabilities. The
business of investigation is in trouble
for lack of ready cash; other business
Of much more importance to the coun.
try is also in trouble from the same
cause. Just think of it, this knowl.
edge seeking committee will be con-
fined at Washington till congress ap.
propriates. Scarcity of money is death
to business of every kind. That con-
gress lets the noble business of investi-
cation suffer for lack of funds. when it
has been SO profuse in its gifts in other
directions, is q stain on its patriotism.
In its muni6cence, it has floated value
less railroad stocks. and proposed to
furnish water for waterless rivers, still
investigation comes not on swimmingly
because congress is close-fsted. The
investigation business, like all other
business. needs currency initiation.
Republican narrowness of soul is the
whole cause of the trouble. They are
unwilling to appropriate through fear
of Differentiation" though irrever-
ent cynics says their ''indisposition,"
to appropriate results from fear ofex-
posure. They have stood investigation
from committees whose acumen was
as great as the Potter committee, with
only the loss of an occasional states
man. 1t may be said that Republi-
cans invented investigation, then why
should they fear it? 1t is still in their
power to resort to their old remedy
"white wash" Though when the
Republican party vigorously began
investigation it had an overwhelming
majority in the nation, and as the
probe was applied. the majority de-
clined. 1t investigated itself into
q minority. No wonder it Is anxious
to quit the business. And it NAV
happen that Democrats will regret
having taken it up where Republicans
dropped it. So far it has only resulted
in modification and vexation of spirit.

New York Sun: That John Sher-

Louisiana business never has been
doubtful to men Of experience and
knowledge. His scheming brain
planned the method of operations. He
personally superinten;led its execution

protests down to the dramatic intro
duction of Eliza Pinkston, and then he
hurried off to Washington with mass
of peJured testimony. made to order
for the Returning Buard, in the hope
of forestalIing public opinion, and OF
rallying the Republican party to the
support of the Fraud.

1t was well known that Jaw Gould
had made heavy contribution to the
the Hayes election fund in 1876, upon
condition that Hayes. if elected, should
lend the whole strength of his Admin
istration to help the Wall street shark
keep the plumber in his possession.
1t was also known, or supposed to he,
that in addition to Stanley Matthews,
his Fraudulency's attorney and famil.
lar, Mr.. Gould had secured the ser.
vices of leading Democratic Senator
on the Railroad Committee, who had
undertaken to "fix things" in the com.
mittee and in the Senate. Into this
combination came Nipple Mitchell,
the Chairman, with great alacrity, and
Others never suspected, both on and of
the committee, many Of whose names
are recorded in favor of the Thurman
bill on final passage. But it is mis-
take to suppose that Gould and Hunt
ington spent a great deal of cash in
that fight. Only $4,000 is put
down as the gross sum, $4,000 of
which was devoted to the conquest of
the Railroad Committee. these
figures are given on pretty good

Speaking of Ben. Buffers partici-
patton in the Louisiana investigation,
Washington correspondent Monday
night telegraphs that there is no guess
ing what Ben has in prospect, but one
thing is certain, which is that Baker
never spoke for anyone Of consequence
in Congress when he sent that dis
patch. Ifhe did people about Wash
ington will be greatly surprised as he
has been known about Washington for
years as one of the loafers vino infest
the hotels and take drinks with any
one who asks them to do so. But it
is held that Butler would not base SO
much on the evidence of to-day, unless
there was something hack of it. More
over, it is known that Conkling is in
with Butler in the matter brought out
to-day. Several months ago it was
stated in these dispatches that Conk-
ling had secured possession of a dis
patch sent by this same Baker to
Hayes at Columbus, and had been
having interviews with Baker. But
Ter informed Foster of Ohio that Conk-
ling wanted to know if he Foster did
not know of the dispatches when sent
which was not the fact. Judge
Key says tonight that he knew moth
ing Of the dispatch when Baker was
appointed. Gov. Young who is in the
city says he delivered the dispatch to
either Webb. Hayes or Lee. The i'm
preston tonight is that Butler is on
the trail of the Wormly hotel confer
ences, and only in his character for
roofing out great secrets give the days
any Importance.
