TurIsish slaves Selecting their IItis
bands.
From the Baltimore Bulletin.I


Turkish slave ship was captured the
other day by an English vessel, and the
slaves it contained, consisting OF 10 won,en
and 10 men. were liberated. The men vol
unteered into the Egyptian army, but II
was more difficult to dispose of the women.
Under the treaty concluded between the
English Government and the Khedisc, the
importation and expectation Of slaves are
forbidden; but the detention and sale of
slaves in the country are permitted for
about six years longer in Egypt and eleven
years in the Soudon. Several officers ac-
cordingly came to the Pasha Of the dis
trict with offers to buy some Of the female
slaves but the Pasha declared that he
wonld not part with them unless they got
married. He then announced that any
soldier or civilian wishing to marry one OF
the slaves would have to pay six thalers for
tlowry, but that the women would be
allowed TO choose their husbands from
among those who should present them
selves for the purpose. r'at number Of
MEN, chiefly soldiers. assembled on the
day appointed for the selection. The
women were so shy that they 'huddled to-
tether like a fiock Of sheep" and could not
be induced TO move. At last one Of them
taking courage, advanced slowly to a black
Egyptian sergeant, who was anything but
Young or handsome, and put her hand on
his shoulder as a sign that he was the man
she wished to marry. Her example was
instantly followed by the other women,
who rushed forward to choose their hns-
bands as II they feared to be too late. 1t
was now the mems turn 10 say whether
they accepted the selec ion. All were sat
istied but five. and even thc five wdnen
who were consequently Obliged to choose
again were ultimately provided With has
bands

THE court martial charged with inquring
into the case of the Eurydice accident has
found that no blame was attributable to any
one and that the question of the vessels sta
bility had been properly considered. One of
the two survivors of her crew of 81, when
the evidence was closed, taking a piece of
paper from his pocket, said: 81 should like
to be allowed to state before this court is con-
cluded how much we all loved our noble Cap
tain We had unbounded confidence in him,
knowing that he as a sailor was surpassed by
none, and am sure he had the love and re-
spect of every man and officer in the ship, as
he studied their comfort and happiness in all
respects. We were proud of our Captain,
our officers and our ship, looking upon her
as being well adapted for the service on which
she was employed"

Eureka, Sept. 81, ~ M.-The Richmond
Smelling Works took fire this morning and are
now burning with frightful rapidity. There
is no chance to save them. The coal pile, of
l 200, 900 bushels of charcoal, just east of the
works, is also on fire ; of course it cannot be
extingushed. How the fire caught is at pres
unknown. There is but little water at hand
and a total destruction of the property is in
evitable The Richmond furnace was built
at great cost, and contained refinery for the
treatment of base bullion, the like of which
is not elsewhere in Nevada. The private
office of the company, stables, etc, may be
saved by great effort. This serious blow to
Eureka, as it viii necessitate the stoppage of
work at the Richmond mine until new fur
naces can be constructed also the charcoal
on fire is the winters supply, which now can
not be replaced, owing TO the lateness of the
season Some furnaces now idle in the town
may, however, be utilized by the Richmond
company pending the reconstruction of those
destroyed, in which case business may not be
so seriously retarded.

RELIEVED OF HIS Com. - The Eureka
Leader Of Thursday says: Another robbery
occurred last night We say another, because
thefts have been of frequent occurrence. The
victim this time was Mr.. H. Taylor, who had
Just arrived from Ward with u load Of bullion.
Between 10 and IL o'clock last night, as Mr..
Taylor was vending his way along North
Main street he was suddenly stopped ia front
of Sheriff Sias blacksmith shop by receiving
heavy blow across the forehead, which
stunned him for moment but did not knock
him down. Before he could recover himself,
however, he was seized around the neck from
behind and forced to the ground, where he
was severely beaten and kicked i'll the stomach
during the process of which he was relieved Of
$3.50 in coin Having obtained what they
wanted, the thieves left their victim and rap
idly disappeared in the darkness. Mr.. Taylor
Immediately came up town and reported what
hid occurred to him, and the police started
out in search of the rascals. Suspicion points
to several disreputable characters about town,
but it will probably be a hard matter to dis
cover the guilty parties. Measures should be
taken to put stop to this garrot}ng business,
as it is becoming little too extensive to be
healthy.

EDUCATEDLABOR.

Among the Tenderness of the times is that
which leads toward the better education of the
laborlng man and the greater facility for i'm
parting the best book knowledge tomechanics
In an article in the current number of the
Atlantic Monthly we find the following inter
esting and instructive comments upon this
question: Education is the principal means
by which the knowledge OF one generation is
transmitted toand made available by the next
As knowledge increases, successive generations
start on a higher and higher plane; hence, ed
ucatlon becomes more and more necessary to
the continued progress of the race This is
especially true in regard to productive indus
try. The efficiency of labor, on whatever OBJ
Iects 1T IS exercised, depends not only upon
the natural power of the labOrer, but also
upon his training and general intelligence
AS means, therefore, of high productive
efficiency lit should be made possible for every
individual to acquire good general education
directed with view to invigorate the body,
elevate the moral faculties, and strengthen
the intellectual powers, or, in other words, to
fit the individual for the general duties of life
Thus much should be done without any ref
erence to special pursuits. Practical instruc
ton in the industrial arts and trades, gener
ally speaking, should begin in the workshop,
where the learner may be surrounded by all
the conditions under which these arts and
trades are respectively carried on. Higher
technical instruction is of but little practical
value except to those who have decided apti-
tudes in certain directions, and for such per
sons every possible means of instruction
should be provided; for it is to them or their
influence that we are to look mainly for the
advancement of civilization While they plan
and direct, the others must execute. The
value of education is well set forth
in the Journal of the Statistical Society, in
England by Mr., Chadwick. He states that
employers the comparative efficiency of edu-
Gated and uneducated laborers, and that ali
intelligent witnesses of wide experience and
observation unanimously agree that education,
III ItS DIGSCItI IlClc dllIl III
condition, is highly remunera-
tive. Masters who have been at the expense
Of schools on highreligious and social grounds
concur in saying that success is great on eco
nomical grounds. They find the readiness
with which well educated man comprehends
the willingness and the intelli-
5ence with which he makes trial of unaccus-
toned processes, the quickness with which
he notes the facts which come under his OBJ
,ervation and the facility with which he re
ports them, the suggestions for the improve
nent of his business that he is able to offer,
he diminished amount of superintendent
hat he requires, and the saving of waste from
from laundering, from
and from misdirected labor, are
advantages which the mercantile mind is not
low to appreciate.
