Ria Pasha, reported to be one of the
richest men in Turkey, who died at Kad-
ikeui on the 23d of November, was in
some respects q remarkable man. He
was originally an Arab slave boy. He
was brought to Constantinople at the
beginning of the present century, and
rose to some Of the highest offices in the
state, having been six times minister of
war. thrice minister of marine, and thrice
grand master of artillery. He held office
at various critical periods of Turkish his
tory, and was at the head of the war
office during the Crimean war, during
the Syrian massacres and European oc-
cupation, and during the insurrection in
Crete. He was decorated with many
orders at various times, having received
the highest Turkish orders of the Os.
mamie and the Mediidie, the Persian
order of the Lion aud the Sun, the orders
OF the Bath, OF the Legion of Honor, of
the Austrian st. Leopold, and of the
Iron Crown of Italy. Strange to say,
although he knew a little French, he
never succeeded in mastering any Euro
pean language, but spoke Turkish and
Arabic fuently. Notwithstanding his
wealth, he was. not ostentaclously char
liable. His agood Deeds" il he performed
any, were done in secret. He was about
seventy years old at the time of his death.
The latter years of his life were quietly
spent in his house at Kadikeui, over
looking the Bosphorus and the sea Of
Marmora. It was his daily custom, when
the weather permitted, to walk to the
sea-shere and smoke his tchibouque there

Prof. Tyndan's Alpine Tests of
Spontaneous Generation:
ALP LUsGEN, September 18, 1877.

ALP LUsGEN, September 1S, 1877.
NY DEAR HUXLEY: Though the
question of Spontaneous generation :"
is. believe, practically set at rest for the
scientific world, you may possibly dee m
the following facts OF sufficient interest
to be communicated to the Royal society.
[ brought with me this year to the Alps
sixty Theoretically sealed TASKS, contain.
ing infusions of beet, mutton, turnip and
cucumber, which had been boiled for
five minutes and sealed during ebullition.
They were packed in sawdust, and when
opened here the drawn out and sealed
ends of six of them were filled with or
ganisms, the remaining ones were pellu-
cid and free from lie. Two or three were
subsequently broken by accident, but for
six weeks fifty TASKS remained perfectly
clear. At the end of this time I took
twenty-three of them into a shed con-
tanning some feed hay, and there shipped
off their sealed ends with pair of pliers.
The air of the hay-loft entered to fill the
vacuum produced by the boiling in Lon
don. Twenty-three other TASKS were
taken Immediately afterwards to the
edge of a declivity, which might also be
called a precipice, with fall of about
one thousand feet. A gentle breeze was
blowing from the mountains, partly
snow-covered and partly bare rock, to-
wards the precipice. Taking care to
cleanse my pliers in the fame of a spirit
lamp, and to keep my body to leeward
of the TASKS, I shipped off their sealed
ends. The two groups of TASKS were
then placed in our own little kitchen,
where the temperature varied from about
IS degrees to so degrees Fahrenheit.
Neutrality-suspicious. of the twenty-three
TASKS opened at the hay-loft are filled
with organisms; two of them remained
clear. All of the TASKS opened on the
edge of the precipice remain as clear as
distilled water. Not one of them has
given way. Ever, my dear Huxley, yours
faithfully, JOHN TYNDALL.

John Anderson's affection to the last, by
neatness, taste and appropriate variety of
dress.
That q lady has fast growing daugh-
ters, strappingsons, and husband at his
office all day, j. no reason why she should
ever enter thefamily circle with rumpled
hair soiled CAP, or unfastened gown.
The pretsiest woman in the world
would be spoiled by such sins in her
toilette. Il
The morning duties, even in the store.
room and kitchen, may be performed in
fitting, tidy costume, and then changed
for parlor habiliments equally tidy and
fitting.
The eye caves for variety as keenly as
the palate; and then, honestly protest,
whatever her age, a naturally good-look-
ing woman is always handsome, for,
happily. there exists more than one kind
of beauty.
There is the beauty Of infancy. the
beauty of youth, the beauty of maturity,
and, believe me, ladies and gentlemen,
the beauty of age, if you do not spoil it
by YOUR own want of judgment.

!, Am Argument for Inspiration.

{ We have repeatedly. presented on this
page brief argument in behalf Of the
inspiration of the scriptures or in answer
to the objections of infdelity. We VEN
ture now upon another. scepticism
constantly assails the miracles of the
Bible, declares them to be impossible,
and holds them up to derision. No
miracles are more wonderful than those
performed by our Lord Jesus Christ. He
healed the sick, opened the eyes of the
blind, fed thousands of hungry men and
women by increasing a few leaves and
fishes, cast out devils and raised the dead.
Is not the manner in which these mira
cles are recorded a proof of irresistible
power that they really occurred7 Con-
slider such sentence as this: "They
brought to Him the lame, the halt, the
blind and those that were sick of divers
diseases, and many that were possessed
with devils, and He healed them ALL"
Such an artless statement of such wen-
derful deeds is to be found, if we remem-
ber correctly, more than twenty times in
the gospels. Is 1t possible to conceive of
any impostor who would content himself
with such an announcement? If writer
was drawing upon his imagination, if
he was fabricating an account to in
crease the fame of his Master, would he,
could he, stop with SO simple, SO gem
eral an account? Is there an instance
anywhere of falsifying in this fashion
Is it human to manufacture such a rec
ord ? Would not an impostor tell the
number, and magnify the number of the
cases ? Would he not describe the Sc
verify, the hepelessness of their sickness
Would he not draw a picture of. the
suffering man, accompanied by his de-
pendent family, brought by his anxious
and sorrowing, yet hopeful friends ?
Would he not tell, what years of tortur-
